The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 216 Concubine Hua is Pregnant
It was March 3rd of another year, and it had been nearly three years since Yinzhen ascended the throne. Ulanara had recovered, and apart from being unable to have children, there seemed to be nothing wrong with her.

During the entire New Year period, Ulanara's complexion became pale, her figure returned to normal, and she even looked more graceful.

On the other hand, Nian Shilan ate and drank well all day long, which made her already graceful face look even more plump.

Songzhi looked at the table full of delicious food in front of her with a worried look on her face. She wanted to persuade them but didn't dare to.

Nian Shilan glanced at Songzhi and stopped with her chopsticks that were about to reach for the Eight Treasure Glazed Noodles with Duck.

"Look at how stingy you are. I've had a lot of free time recently, so I ate a few meals with an open appetite, but it's as if I ate yours."

Songzhi knew that although Nian Shilan was saying these words of reprimand, she was not angry at all, so she also spoke boldly.

"Master, I got up this morning to change your clothes, and I found that the clothes I made before the New Year seemed to be a little tight. How about I call the needlework department to make a few more for you in the afternoon?"

After saying that, he stood aside nervously.

Songzhi has been with Nian Shilan since she was a child and knows her temper.

Although Nian Shilan's temper has been much better since she fell down at the age of sixteen, the spoiled young lady's temper in her bones still flares up from time to time.

After Songzhi said these words, she felt a little regretful.

When her master was at her parents' home, she could eat whatever she wanted and have whatever she wanted satisfied. But after she got married and entered the palace, her diet was still controlled. This was too cruel.

But if he doesn't control himself, according to the current trend, by the time the new ladies enter the palace, his master will be so fat that the emperor will dislike him.

Songzhi looked at them coldly. Their emperor was not a loyal person.

Nian Shilan looked down at her waist in astonishment. Since she was sitting, she could see that her waist was a little swollen.

Even if Nian Shilan did not live for Yinzhen in this life, what woman does not love beauty?
She hurriedly asked someone to clear the meal away, and asked Xiao Linzi to invite Wen Xianqing over.

When Wen Xianqing arrived, he didn't even have time to perform the greetings before he listened to Nian Shilan.

"Forget it, forget it. Let's stop with all those empty formalities. Doctor Wen, I just want to ask you, do you have any method that can help people lose weight?"

Wen Xianqing was so stunned that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Empress Hua, what's wrong with you? You suddenly summoned me here. I thought it was something urgent, but it turned out to be this."

Nian Shilan frowned.

"Isn't this urgent? All women love beauty, and I am no exception. Don't think about anything else, just think of a solution for me."

Wen Xianqing suddenly felt a headache, but he could not disobey Concubine Hua's order, so he took Concubine Hua's pulse.

Just at this moment, Wen Xianqing suddenly raised his head and said cautiously.

"Congratulations, my lady, you are two months pregnant!"

Nian Shilan was stunned, then became angry.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I have been using contraceptive soup and never forgot to do so! And my period came last month."

Nian Shilan paused and sent away all the servants in the room, leaving only Songzhi by his side.

"You guys go out first. No one is allowed to reveal a single word about what happened today without my order. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Those servants all retreated obediently, and then Nian Shilan spoke again.

"Doctor Wen, I was too surprised just now, but I have been taking contraceptive soup since I started serving the emperor.

Even though I angered the Emperor last time and made him unhappy for a few days, he still acquiesced to my decision later.

How could I be pregnant? Could it be that you made a wrong diagnosis?"

Wen Xianqing took back his pulse-taking hand and motioned Nian Shilan to change her hand, carefully placed the pulse pillow, and waited for Songzhi to change the handkerchief from Nian Shilan's left wrist to her right wrist, and then took Nian Shilan's pulse again. Wen Xianqing carefully examined her for a long time, then withdrew his hand and stepped back.

"Your Majesty, this is definitely a pregnancy pulse. There is no doubt about it."

Nian Shilan slumped in the chair. This child came at the wrong time and she still had many things to do in this life.

If she were to get pregnant at this time, not to mention that she would have an extra weakness in the harem, let's talk about the Nian family. Her parents are old, and her father, Nian Xialing, retired last year.

The eldest brother Nian Xiyao has been working quietly as a civil servant, while the second brother Nian Gengyao has already held military power and is very powerful in this life.

It is hard to guarantee that the emperor would be very afraid, but fortunately in this life Nian Gengyao was relatively obedient and never treated others in a domineering manner. He also did not take sides with anyone in the court or form cliques.

Nian Shilan thought for a long time but had no clue. This child came too suddenly.

Wen Xianqing spoke at the right time.

"Your Majesty, although the contraceptive soup is effective, it is not 100% certain. Since you are pregnant, I will do my best to ensure your safe delivery. Your Majesty, please relax and take good care of the baby."

Nian Shilan asked puzzledly.

"You just said that I'm two months pregnant? But I had my period last month. If I'm two months pregnant, I shouldn't have my period."

Wen Xianqing was a doctor, so he had no embarrassment in facing this question, and he explained it patiently.

"I guess that your majesty's menstrual period last month was not a real menstrual period."

Seeing Nian Shilan's puzzled expression, Wen Xianqing continued.

"Some people may experience spotting in early pregnancy, which is a sign of threatened miscarriage. There are many reasons for this phenomenon.

One reason is that the fetus is not growing well and cannot be retained; the other reason is that the mother is weak and the fetus cannot sit steadily.

But I just took your Majesty's pulse and it was strong and powerful, which means that the fetus is developing well.

Your Majesty said that you had spotting last month, but your health has always been strong except for the headache that bothered you.

Therefore, I guess that your so-called menstrual period last month was a sign of threatened miscarriage.

But you have always been in good health, and you eat and drink a lot, and you take good care of yourself. The child is also very good, and he survived the difficult times in your belly."

Nian Shilan was stunned for a while, remembering that in her previous life, after she found out she was pregnant, she took good care of the baby, but still, Concubine Duan gave her a bowl of medicine and aborted the baby when she was more than five months pregnant.

In this life, she did not want to give birth to a child with Aisin-Gioro blood, but this child came to her after going through many difficulties.

Is this really destiny?

However, given Yinzhen's suspicion and worry, he wondered whether the child could be delivered safely.

Nian Shilan recalled that in her previous life, Yinzhen kept saying that the Nian family was a meritorious family, but he allowed Concubine Duan to follow Yixiu's instructions and kill the baby in her womb with a bowl of abortion medicine.

Later, in order to prevent her from getting pregnant again, he took the precious Dangmenzi that his brother Nian Gengyao got from the snow-capped mountains in the northwest and used it as an important ingredient of Huanyixiang.

At that time, Yinzhen must have been afraid that the Nian family would support that child to ascend to the throne and seize the Qing Dynasty.

Nian Shilan was reborn, and because she had not yet avenged her son's murder and the confiscation of her property, she tolerated many things towards Yinzhen.

But now that this child is so tenacious, Nian Shilan will protect him well.

Nian Shilan hated Yinzhen, but the child was innocent.

"In this case, I will leave my care and the baby in my belly to Dr. Wen."

Give Hua Pangpang a baby. If Hua Pangpang had done certain things without making a fuss before, he will become stronger after having a baby.
