Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Lu Wanning never thought that she could sit back and relax by taking the seat of Concubine Zhuang. In this harem, even if she sat on the only phoenix seat that can stand side by side with the emperor, she still needs to be vigilant all the time, and she can't do it. To truly sleep in peace.

Lu Wanning smiled at Tao Shi, and said, "I know, mother, I will definitely protect myself."

After a pause, Lu Wanning added, "I will also protect my child."

"En." Dow replied, looked at Lu Wanning's pale cheeks and asked about Lu Wanning's pregnancy status.

Lu Wanning thought about it for a while, and said lightly: "It's nothing special, it's just normal morning sickness."

Dow gave Lu Wanning an angry look, and said, "When I said that, I didn't know how to look at your face in the mirror to see how white it is."

Lu Wanning reached out and wiped her cheeks, and murmured: "It should be okay?"

Dow ignored Lu Wanning, but asked Qingzhi about Lu Wanning's pregnancy.

Qingzhi naturally told the truth.

After hearing what Qingzhi said, Tao Shi gave Lu Wanning an angry look, and Lu Wanning looked at Tao Shi innocently.

Seeing this, Dow could only shake his head, could she not know what kind of temper her own daughter had?I used to be fine when I was young, I liked to act like a baby and complained, and I would not bury any grievances in my stomach.But since her father and brother died in battle, and she fell ill again, she has gradually learned to report good news and not bad news.

But this can't be blamed on Lu Wanning, the main reason is that she, a mother, can't support her daughter.

Sighing, Dow stopped thinking about it, but said to Lu Wanning: "When I was pregnant with your eldest brother, I was just like you now. I was seriously ill. I almost vomited whatever I ate. I lost weight in just one month. In the end, your grandma sent someone to give me pickles, so that I can eat some porridge with pickles."

"Pickles?" Lu Wanning asked in surprise, "Will it work?"

Dow shook his head, "Mother was useful at the time. Your grandmother said that it was the same when she was pregnant with her first child. Pickles were also useful to her. Mother thought it would be useful to you, too."

Lu Wanning said: "Then when I ask Zhou Man to go to the dining room, I will ask if there are any pickles in the dining room."

Pickles are very common in ordinary people's homes, but Lu Wanning has hardly seen pickles on the table since entering the palace.

Tao Shi said: "If there is no one in the palace, mother will bring you into the two altars of the palace tomorrow, you have a try."

"Okay." Lu Wanning replied.

Lu Wanning was talking with Dow, and it was soon time for lunch.

Zhou Man went to the dining room and asked the people in the dining room if they had any pickles.

The eunuch who was in charge of the dining room saw Zhou Man asking about the pickles, and asked with a smile: "Is it Mr. Zhou who wants to eat pickles?"

Zhou Man shook his head with a smile, "If I want to eat it, how dare I bother you? Isn't our master suffering from severe morning sickness recently? We heard people say that eating pickles can be better, so we asked the dining room to see if there is any."

The eunuch in charge of the dining room heard this and said with a smile: "It turns out that Madam Zhuang wants to eat it. Since Madam Zhuang wants to eat it, we will let Madam Zhuang eat it no matter what we say."

It is true that there are no pickles for the masters to eat in the dining room, but a royal chef named Ma in the dining room is very fond of this, so he pickled a jar of pickled radishes and a small jar of spicy cucumber sticks in private.

Knowing that Lu Wanning wanted to eat it, the eunuch in charge handed over the jar of pickled radish and the jar of spicy cucumber sticks.

Anyway, no matter what the process was, Lu Wanning ate pickled radish and spicy cucumber sticks for lunch.

Because Lu Wanning couldn't smell the smell of chicken, duck, fish and other meat dishes, there were still only vegetarian dishes and two small dishes of pickles for lunch.

Dow at the same table could only eat vegetarian dishes with Lu Wanning. Originally, Lu Wanning wanted Dow to eat at the same table so that she would not have to worry about her, but Dow wanted to eat with Lu Wanning.

After the food was served, Qingzhi and Qingdai stared nervously at Lu Wanning, seeing Lu Wanning's chopsticks reaching for the dish of pickled radish and that dish of spicy cucumber sticks, they relaxed a little.

But it was only a little bit down, not completely down.

After Lu Wanning finished her meal, and after more than half an hour, she still didn't vomit again, the two of them were finally completely relieved, and a relieved smile appeared on their faces.

Dow stayed with Lu Wanning for most of the day in Linglong Pavilion, and only left the palace in the afternoon.

Before leaving, Dow said to Lu Wanning: "Although the emperor gave mother a token, mother thinks that you are just pregnant after all, and it is not good for mother to go in and out of the palace too frequently. Since there are pickles in the dining room, it is also useful for you to eat pickles." , mother will not enter the palace for a few days."

Lu Wanning nodded, "What mother said is that in the future, mother should try her best to enter the palace on the first or fifteenth day of the lunar new year."

"Hmm." Dow thought so too.

In the evening, Luo Chengjing came to Linglong Pavilion again. As soon as he came, he asked about Lu Wanning's situation today. After learning that Lu Wanning only vomited once today, Luo Chengjing nodded in satisfaction, "It seems that I was right to let your mother enter the palace."

Lu Wanning smiled sweetly: "The concubine hasn't thanked the emperor yet. If the concubine's mother hadn't entered the palace today and told the concubine that eating pickles would make her better, the concubine's condition would not have eased."

"Eating pickles is useful?" Luo Chengjing asked curiously.

Lu Wanning nodded, and said: "Maybe my concubine's physique is based on my mother and grandmother. My mother said that they vomited very badly when they were pregnant for the first time. Eating pickles is helpful. It happens that there are pickles in the dining room. The concubine gave it a try, but she didn't expect it to be really useful."

"As long as it's useful." After Luo Chengjing finished speaking, he pondered for a moment and said, "I remember that there is only one uncle in my concubine's family, right?"

Lu Wanning nodded, "Well, Grandma Chenqie only has two children, Uncle Chenqie and Mother."

"Then Aifei's uncle should be your grandmother's first child?"

"En." Lu Wanning nodded, and looked at Luo Chengjing puzzled, not knowing what he meant by asking this.

Luo Chengjing didn't say anything, but just glanced at Lu Wanning's stomach.

Lu Wanning was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Luo Chengjing meant. Lu Wanning shook her head helplessly, and said, "Your Majesty, this is impossible."

It's not that her grandmother likes that pickles gave birth to her uncle, and her mother gave birth to her brother by eating pickles. She can also give birth to a boy by eating pickles.

Lu Wanning felt that she had to lower Luo Chengjing's expectations for the child in her womb, otherwise, if she was born a little princess, it would be hard to say whether Luo Chengjing would not like her and the child in her womb when she was disappointed.

Lu Wanning said to Luo Chengjing: "The concubine feels that this concubine is probably a little princess."
