Stepmother Shaoguang

Chapter 168 Pearl is Pregnant
This is convenient for Princess Pearl to move, and she can sit down at any time when she is tired from walking.

The place where Princess Mingzhu stayed was the east side hall of Fengyi Palace, surrounded by the main hall in front, where the wind seldom blows, it was set up for her to raise her baby.

"The princess looks thinner, but she is in good spirits and has a rosy complexion."

"Yes, I think it's okay. The queen mother wants to cover me tightly and burn several charcoal pots. I'm not a child anymore. How can I freeze myself? Hey, it's just that I'm so tired during the day. I feel nauseous after eating anything." Princess Mingzhu stroked her stomach happily, her lower abdomen was swollen, and it looked like it was about five months old.

"The princess must be in May, right? Why is she still nauseated?"

Generally, after more than five months, the pregnancy will be cured.

Maybe Princess Pearl has a special physique?
Before he could say a few words, Princess Mingzhu's expression changed, and she immediately took out her handkerchief, supported the maid's hand, tilted her head to one side, and spat violently into the spittoon.

After throwing up, after changing clothes and cleansing his face, he raised his forehead and said to her: "What kind of fragrance does your clothes smell like? Just now I inhaled while talking, I just feel my stomach is overwhelmed."

He Shaoguang said awkwardly, "It's the usual incense used in the palace."

Naturally, the palace used no vulgar powder, but Princess Mingzhu asked the palace staff to stop using incense on her clothes because she could not smell any fragrance, not only for herself, but also for the entire Fengyi Palace.

He Shaoguang had never given birth before, and he only stayed with Princess Mingzhu for half a day, and saw her vomit all kinds of things, all kinds of strange things, and only then did he truly feel the pain of childbirth in the mother's body.

I can't help feeling that I am lucky that I don't need to go through this suffering, but the thought can only be buried in my heart, and it will shock the world when I say it.

Everyone thought she was so sad that she was too careful not to mention it.

When it was time for lunch, the palace servant who passed on the meal came and got the consent of Princess Mingzhu, so delicate and luxurious dishes were brought up one after another like flowing water, covering the entire dining table.

Looking at it at a glance, they are all tasteless foods, exquisite in appearance and not bad in taste, He Shaoguang eats them with relish.

But Princess Pearl just sighed and didn't move.

Only Dao fish soup is made from the tender meat from the belly of the fish and the bones of the chicken, and stewed until it becomes a paste. It also adds the same stewed fish maw and white fungus. After a few mouthfuls, I put down the bowl and weigh it. Use it.

"Princess, it's better to use more for the sake of the little prince." The personal maid persuaded.

It's okay if she doesn't persuade, but Mingzhu irritatedly waved her away again and again: "Little Shizi, Xiao Shizi, is your master this Gong or the child in Bengong's womb? Now Bengong can't speak well? "

The maid was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for mercy.

After the maid stepped back, Mingzhu stroked her swollen belly and sighed: "Madam Lu laughed. Ever since I got pregnant, I don't know why I'm always very disturbed in my heart. I see things that don't please my eyes, and my temper has grown a lot."

He Shaoguang smiled and said: "I want to say something for the princess. Pregnant women think a lot. Pregnancy is hard work, and the energy is disturbed by the fetus in the womb. Naturally, I don't have so much energy to deal with other things. I feel that others are easy to ignore. Myself. However, what the courtiers see is the state of the market, and the body of the princess is a daughter, so there is really no need to worry too much. Even if you have a small son, after all these years, the Marquis of Qingjiang and the people around you still put you first in everything? "

Mingzhu sighed: "It's true as you said, it's because Ben Gong thought about it for a while."

Only then did she take a direct look at He Shaoguang: "You are transparent, talking to you is much more comfortable than a son-in-law."

He Shaoguang smiled and said: "It is said that the princess and the son-in-law are deeply in love, and all women are very envious of the princess who has a considerate and caring husband. How come the princess despises the son-in-law instead? If the Marquis of Qingjiang finds out, how can it be Don't you have to hide in bed and cry every night?"

Just kidding, the princess can complain about her son-in-law, but can she still nod along blindly?
Sure enough, these words made Princess Mingzhu feel more comfortable, she proudly raised her head slightly: "It's still sloppy, it's just that when there is no disagreement on weekdays, it's so boring."

"Mrs. Lu, do you think that next time I find a young man to take me back, will I be able to see the color on the son-in-law's face?"

Princess Mingzhu started to make plans, but He Shaoguang didn't dare to say yes, so he quickly put aside the topic.

"Princess, I have an idea, which may improve your appetite."

She was "respectful", which aroused Princess Pearl's interest: "Oh? What can I do?"

She whispered in Princess Pearl's ear, and then, taking advantage of the twilight, the two came to the imperial dining room.

"Your grandma's fire is so big, the bottom of the pot is almost burnt, do you know that!"

The imperial dining room was not as smoky as Princess Pearl imagined, only the noise of the imperial cooks reprimanding the apprentices made her slightly uncomfortable.

Fu Yuan put her hips on her hips and scolded the loud cook for Princess Mingzhu: "What are you shouting for? Can you afford to offend the princess and the little prince?"

Only then did the cooks see Princess Mingzhu and He Shaoguang and his party.

"Hey, hey, hello to the princess." The people in the kitchen hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and waited for Princess Mingzhu to cry out, then they took care of the dishes in their own pots.

"Hey" the imperial cook who had just trained the apprentice sighed, scooped up the soup from the pot and poured it into the bucket of boiling water—the apprentice didn't pay attention to the heat just now, and the soup was already scorched.

"What time is it?" He asked the apprentice, and after the apprentice answered, he couldn't help but raise his voice again: "What?! That old... I'm still a fart, it's too late, it's too late."

Concerned about the presence of the princess, he gasped for breath and threw the spatula away, sitting on the pile of firewood with a discouraged look on his face.

When He Shaoguang approached him, he heard him muttering: "If you don't do it, then don't do it. Anyway, every time you send it back, it's still intact. The princess doesn't eat it at all. It's strange to say that the princess is not here. Resting in the palace, what are you doing in the kitchen?"

He Shaoguang said politely: "This master."

"I am Mr. Lee!"

Yu Chu was taken aback by her sudden greeting, but luckily his mouth was clean and he didn't say anything he shouldn't.

He Shaoguang suppressed a smile and said, "Master Li, if you don't use this stove, can you lend me a chance?" This person really has a sense of humor in him, and he feels a sense of joy when he does things and speaks.

She was wearing the clothes of the princess' maid, and Li Yuchu also thought she was just a servant of the princess who wanted to honor the princess, so he moved away reluctantly, and began to mutter again: "You have to respect the princess in your own small kitchen. Can’t do it? You have to bring the princess to the kitchen, and let me be scolded, bah bah bah!”

He Shaoguang laughed, the stove had been cleaned by the apprentices, and she inspected the surrounding ingredients, thinking about it.
