The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 63 Duan is pregnant
Nian Shilan suppressed the doubts and shock in her heart and looked at Wen Xianqing.

"Doctor Wen only told me how to take care of my body now. I must drink this contraceptive soup. To be honest, the prince's son has not been born yet, and I cannot get pregnant before the wife."

She would not let Wen Xianqing get involved in too many things until she was sure that he was completely at her disposal, so she just said that there was no legitimate son in the mansion and she, a concubine, did not want to get pregnant.

Wen Xianqing was born in a commoner family, but he could imagine and hear a little about the methods used by these wealthy families.

He nodded to show his understanding.

"Don't worry, Concubine. Since Concubine doesn't want to get pregnant for the time being, I will prepare a mild prescription for you. This prescription will not harm your body."

Wen Xianqing hesitated.

"In addition, I will also prepare another prescription and prescribe some warming and nourishing medicines. I will report to Madam Madam that you were just frightened a few days ago and need to recuperate."

"In that case, we have Dr. Lao Wen."

Nian Shilan knew that according to the rules, Wen Xianqing had to report to Ulanara after the consultation.

Duan was getting impatient waiting in the yard when Hanlu came over and said that Doctor Wen had finished examining the concubine and asked Duan to come in for a consultation.

When Duan entered the room, she bowed to Nian Shilan first, and Wen Xianqing bowed to Duan.

"I have met the young lady."

According to the rules, concubines have no rank and are called girls in the mansion.

If the master is kind, he will allow the concubines to call themselves "concubines". If the master does not allow, they can only call themselves "slaves".

Duan also returned the greeting and then sat down.

Wen Xianqing took her pulse while Nian Shilan sat beside her with a cup of tea.

"The girl said her period was delayed. Do you have any loss of appetite?"

Wen Xianqing took the pulse of Duan's left hand again.

"As expected, the imperial physician has a good pulse. I just don't want to eat. It's strange that I haven't been able to eat these past few days. I was wondering if it was because of the hot weather. Today, I saw the grapes on the vine in the concubine's courtyard, and I was craving for them. I thought, after the consultation, I'll ask the concubine for a few grapes."

Duan smiled, she was telling the truth.

Wen Xianqing carefully felt the patient's pulse for a while and stood up.

"I congratulate you, young lady. You have been pregnant for more than a month."

Duan suddenly stood up.

"Is what the imperial doctor said true?"

"I dare not speak rashly. It's just that the time is short and the pulse is not very stable. You should rest more."

Wen Xianqing still bowed and replied to Duan respectfully.

Nian Shilan saw Duan stand up excitedly and spoke slowly.

"Congratulations, sister, on your pregnancy. Since you are pregnant, you should be more careful about your body. Sit down and talk."

Duan turned around and faced Nian Shilan Fuli.

"Thank you, Concubine. I didn't expect that I would get pregnant so soon."

Duan spoke respectfully, but her tone could not conceal her joy.

When Ulanara heard Wen Xianqing say that the concubine was just too frightened, which caused her to be tired at night and sleepy during the day, she felt relieved.

But when she heard that Duan was pregnant, she paused turning the pages of the book and smiled.

"This is a very happy event. There has been no child born in the mansion for many years. When the master comes back and finds out, he will definitely be very happy."

Only after Jiang Fuhai sent Wen Xianqing out did Ulanara put away her smile.

Duan was really lucky. She got pregnant after just one night of luck.

When Yinzhen returned home in the evening, Ulanara was already waiting in the front yard. "I pay my respects to the master. May the master be blessed with good health."

"Get up. Fu Jin came here so late, is there something wrong?"

Yinzhen sat down and the maid served him and Ulanara fragrant tea.

Ulanara felt sad. Her husband was always so polite to her.

"I came here to congratulate my master. Mrs. Duan is pregnant."

Yinzhen held the teacup in his hand, hesitating whether to put it down or not.

"I heard from Su Peisheng in the evening. Duan is pregnant, so give her some useful people. Also, tell the kitchen that starting tomorrow, Duan's food should be more refined. Don't let the kitchen talk about the food. Madam Fu will make the arrangements."

Ulanara did not see any joy on Yinzhen's face, and saw that he was the same as usual.

Logically speaking, there hasn't been a pregnant woman in the mansion for several years, so the master should be happy.

"Yes. I will take care of the arrangements. So, Master, are you going to visit Duan tonight?"

"I am tired today. I will go again tomorrow."

Yinzhen looked indifferent. Upon seeing this, Ulanara said no more and left.

When the news of Duan's pregnancy reached Liufang Pavilion, Shu Gege looked indifferent. She just lowered her head and fiddled with a pile of bottles and jars, which looked like rouge and powder.

Hu Gege couldn't hide her thoughts, and a look of jealousy appeared on her face.

"Humph, she is so lucky. The master has only visited her once and she is already pregnant."

Yucui helped Hu Gege wash up and thought about what to say.

"Princess, do you want to send a gift to Miss Duan? I heard that the mistress and the concubine both sent gifts today to congratulate Miss Duan."

"I don't even have enough stuff for myself, how can I have extra stuff to give to her?!"

Seeing that Hu Gege was in a bad mood, Yucui stopped talking.

As a servant, especially a servant whose entire family is under the control of Fu Jin, she only needs to serve Hu Gege silently. It is not difficult to add fuel to the fire when appropriate. Now, keeping silent is the best choice.

In Jianjiaxuan, Feng closed the door early, turned off the lights, and went to bed.

Su Peisheng has already told each courtyard that the master is tired today and is resting in the front courtyard. He does not need to sleep with the emperor, nor will he go to anyone else's courtyard.

Duan took the sweet soup sent from the kitchen and drank it slowly.

"You said, I'm pregnant, why doesn't the master come to see me?"

Qiang Wu stood by and did not want to respond.

What can a servant like her say? She said that the master only slept with her for half the night and there is no feeling between them, so how can she be happy?

But Duan put down the bowl, looked at Qiang Wu, and asked again.

Qiang Wu was helpless and spoke carefully.

"Don't worry, young lady. Didn't Eunuch Su say that the master is tired today and will come to see you tomorrow? You might as well take a rest first."

Duan gave Qiang Wu a blank look.

"Forget it. It's useless to ask you since you don't understand. Bring me some water to wash up. Doctor Wen said I need to rest more."

Qiang Wu breathed a sigh of relief. If she didn’t understand, then she didn’t understand. She didn’t want to understand yet.

Qiang Wu just wanted to wait until she was old enough to ask for mercy and be allowed to leave the house. She was always terrified to follow Duan.

　I seem to have caught a cold today, and my head hurts like hell. I'm sorry, everyone, I only updated 4000 words and two chapters today. I'll take some medicine and go to sleep first, and I'll try to update more tomorrow.
