Traveling through the harem: the favorite concubine

Chapter 39

When Ruyi woke up, she opened her eyes and saw the prince sitting on the bed looking at her.

She blinked her eyes, her expression was still somewhat bewildered, and she murmured slightly in her tone: "Your Highness..."

"Would you like to get up and eat something?"

The prince gently stroked the broken hair on her forehead to one side, and asked.

"it is good."

Ruyi just woke up and didn't have much appetite, but thinking about how she almost vomited up in her stomach last night, plus she was eating for one person and two people, it's better to get up and eat something.

So, let the prince help her sit up from the bed.

Shao Yao, who was standing at the side, hurried to the outside room to bring food in.

Meal is very light, porridge, fish soup.It's the same as what Ruyi did when the prince was sick.

The crown prince handed the chopsticks and spoon to Ruyi, lest she would not like it, and then explained: "The doctor said that you have a weak stomach recently, you'd better eat something light, and the nanny prepared these for you."

"Nurse, don't worry!" Ruyi had nothing to dislike. She took the spoon and chopsticks and started to start. Who knows, as soon as she took the light fish soup, she hadn't swallowed it yet, and sour water began to flow in her stomach. General vomiting.

Ruyi covered her mouth and swallowed the fish soup, but her tired eyes began to turn red.

"what happened?"

Seeing Ruyi's appearance, the prince couldn't help persuading him: "I don't like to eat, I'll ask someone to make something else."

"no……"

Ruyi quickly waved her hand and said, "I'll just eat plain porridge."

After finishing speaking, he scooped up a spoonful of white porridge and put it into his mouth.

"What's the taste of this clear and light porridge dry, if you can't eat it, you can change it to something else." The prince saw Ruyi's reluctance, and couldn't help persuading him.

"It's okay, just let Shaoyao mix some sugar for me!"

Ruyi put down the spoon, and beckoned Shaoyao to bring her the sugar bowl.

White porridge with sugar was her favorite food when she was a child. Although her parents thought it was because children were greedy for sugar, Ruyi suddenly wanted to eat this way.

"You are easy to take care of."

The prince laughed when he heard this, jokingly.

After Ruyi heard this, she suddenly raised her head, bit her lower lip, and said in a tone with a bit of expectation: "His Royal Highness, you... don't send Ruyi away!"

She was still a little uncertain, lest the prince would change his mind.

The prince smiled and nodded: "No more, you can raise your baby here!"

"Thank you, Your Highness."

A smile appeared on Ruyi's face, and she leaned her head on the crown prince's shoulder rather reliantly.

Seeing Ruyi's appearance, the prince had a slight smile on his face that he didn't even notice.

Although the doctor diagnosed her as pregnant, and the prince did not intend to send Ruyi back to the palace, Ruyi is now in this yard and has become a protected animal more precious than the prince.But Ruyi's beautiful life came to an abrupt end after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The child in the womb changed from the low-key in Ruyi's belly in the past three months, and began to show its existence noisy.Ruyi started to have morning sickness, and it wasn't just morning sickness. She felt sick when she got up in the morning, felt sick while eating, and even felt sick when she was sleeping.If you want to vomit, you can just vomit it out, but Ruyi vomits out of ten and nine out of [-], the thunder and rain are probably talking about her.

Even the prince who shared the room with Ruyi also suffered.Since Ruyi became pregnant, the two of them did not have a separate room, but the sleeping position was changed from sleeping on the outside of Ruyi to sleeping on the inside of the bed. The previous arrangement was for the convenience of the crown prince in the middle of the night. However, the prince felt that it was not safe for pregnant women to sleep on the outside.

Ruyi slept on the inner side here, and the prince would notice any movement in the middle of the night, let alone such a big movement of getting up and getting out of bed to vomit, which disturbed the prince's peace.

Occasionally, the prince couldn't help but smiled at the child in Ruyi's belly and said: "Your mother's temperament seems to be quiet, but your child is the complete opposite."

Ruyi felt a little embarrassed after hearing this: "Your Highness, why don't you change a room for Ruyi, I'm afraid it will not be good if it affects your Highness's rest."

The crown prince shook his head when he heard the words, and said to Ruyi, "Since you and the child are here with me to share weal and woe, I naturally have to fulfill my responsibilities as a father."

The responsibility of being a father.

Ruyi couldn't help touching her stomach when she heard the words, the prince was indeed learning to be a father, even better than she could have imagined.

From being reluctant at the beginning, even with a bit of estrangement, to now willing to read to the child in her belly and do prenatal education, Ruyi almost feels that she and the prince are like a loving young couple, they and her The child in the belly is like a warm family.

The transformation of the prince did not happen in a day. Although Ruyi doesn't think she is smart, she is doing her best to make the prince like her child.She didn't know why the prince didn't like children at the beginning, but she believed that no man really didn't care about his children.

Just like the prince, who has always been dispensable to the child in her womb, but when her baby moved for the first time after more than four months, she could clearly feel the trembling of the prince's hand touching her belly, with a blank expression on his face. With an expression on his face, he was trying his best to hide his excitement.

Since then, the prince seems to be unconscious, but after falling asleep, his hand has been clinging to her stomach.

After October, the weather started to turn cold. The crown prince ordered the clothes to be made for Ruyi, and they were all ready, because the clothes maker seemed to have been told that Ruyi was pregnant, and specially made clothes around her waist. Loose, Ruyi's belly is now pregnant, but it is not big. The clothes are very loose, but can be worn in the spring of next year.

Of course, Ruyi got these sets of clothes, which dragged down the child's blessing, and saved the exchange of making clothes for the prince.Although the prince joked that he would wait until Ruyi gave birth to a child, he escaped.

Shaoyao supported Ruyi and stood in front of the mirror to see the effect of the upper body of the clothes, but the pregnant woman wore clothes, no matter how she wore them, she didn't have to think about her figure at all.

Ruyi could only comfort herself that the good complexion made up by Nanny Cao's three soups a day was made more mellow by this pink palace satin.Fortunately, when the clothes were delivered, she was already suffering from morning sickness, otherwise at that time, her sallow and dry face would really not be able to wear this clothes.

"In winter, you should wear some bright colors. What color do you like?" The prince was very interested, as if he wanted to make some clothes for Ruyi.

Ruyi felt that it was a bit wasteful, and waved her hands again and again: "I guess I can't wear these clothes after the baby is born. It's good to make a few less clothes. It's also good to leave the satin for the children to make small clothes."

The prince laughed when he heard the words: "There are still a few pieces of satin at home, the child's clothes won't marry it, so don't save!"

The prince also knew Ruyi's temperament, and knew that she really didn't want to do it anymore, so he made the decision and explained Deng Xian's color.

However, making these clothes is really a bit of a waste.

The weather was getting colder, and Ruyi didn't know whether it was because she was pregnant with a child or because of the colder weather, her body became more and more lazy, and she either lay on the bed in her pajamas or sat by the stove to warm herself up all day long.

In previous winters, Ruyi, as a little maid, had to wait until the snow had fallen and the weather was too cold to start the stove. Ruyi is from the south. Although the south is humid and cold, but in that era, the greenhouse effect, plus air conditioning, it was all right. It's not a big crime.Arriving in this world is a great sin.Fortunately, she was assigned to the small kitchen. Sometimes the room was too cold and she couldn't turn on the stove, and she was able to survive the night watching in the small kitchen.

Now here, there are no such big rules. Anyway, she used the stove early in the house, and made the whole house warm. Sitting on the couch with food in her arms and warming the fire, not to mention how comfortable it is up.While roasting, Ruyi fell asleep with the food in her hands.

When he woke up the next day, he was already asleep on the bed.

And the only time when clothes can come in handy is when Ruyi hates it the most. The crown prince heard from the old doctor that it is not good for Ruyi to be bored in the house all day long, and she has to go out for a walk occasionally.So, the prince asked Ruyi to change clothes every once in a while and dragged Ruyi around the yard.

It was cold, and the yard was deserted, except for a row of cabbage on the ground by the wall, there was really nothing to see.For the first few times, Ruyi was unwilling to be dragged by the prince to slip away after dinner for a while, but after that, she was beaten to death and refused to go out.

It's getting colder and colder, and there's nothing to see outside, even holding the hand stove, she doesn't want to leave.Simply put, as soon as the prince asked Shao Yao to wait for her to change clothes, she pretended to be sleepy. She really felt that she was sleepy when she pretended to be sleepy, and then she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

This method made Ruyi avoid it a few times, but after many times, the prince knew that Ruyi was completely lazy, and threatened her by scratching her nose: "You were so lazy when you were pregnant, be careful when you give birth to a child to follow her." You look the same now."

Ruyi is unmoved, her reaction is a little slow now, but she is not really stupid, it is not that she has never seen a pregnant woman, there are many pregnant women who are as lazy as her.

Seeing this, the prince could only shake his head, there is no cure!There is no cure!
But after the meal, Ruyi couldn't help discussing it at all, so she asked Shaoyao to change her clothes, and dragged Ruyi to the courtyard for a stroll.

Ruyi is really tired and cold, she has a ball in her stomach, can she not be tired?Every time he slipped around, he panted heavily and leaned against the prince, begging to go back, and then was dragged for the rest of the way.

Prince Huihui was so confused that he couldn't laugh or cry. Seeing Ruyi looking at him with tears in his eyes, it seemed that he had become a big villain.However, the number of times is too many, but the prince has found fun and feels quite happy in it.

After November, the first snow of this winter fell.

And Nanny Cao also got busy, and even Ruyi's three soups a day, Nanny Cao was too busy to stare at her to finish drinking.Ruyi asked strangely, and Grandma Cao said it, and then she suddenly realized that the prince's birthday was approaching.

Although Ruyi didn't particularly remember the prince's birthday, because she didn't feel that it had much to do with her, but when she was in the small kitchen of Jiaofang Palace, she probably knew the vague days.

Nanny Cao didn't think there was anything wrong with Ruyi's behavior, because Ruyi's image has become so popular recently, she just thought that Ruyi was becoming more and more stupid when she was pregnant, so she smiled and said to her: "Don't be stupid anymore. , or His Highness still treats you like a fool!"

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been very vicious recently, he takes pleasure in teasing Ruyi's slow reaction all day long.

Ruyi didn't listen to Nanny Cao's last words. She was thinking about whether she should prepare gifts for His Highness the Crown Prince. Prince, the embroidery of clothes, her current situation is really embarrassing for her.

As for the time-traveling girl’s cake, Ruyi thinks it’s better to forget it. In modern times, she can buy it for a few dollars in cake shops and supermarkets. She has never thought of learning to make it in the past. The steps are completely different. Remember, in this era, she can make a lot of desserts, but she doesn't have the energy and capital to waste ingredients on researching cakes.

And in this era, there is no custom of eating cake on birthdays.

She can consider making birthday noodles. Her craftsmanship is not very good, but since there is no chef in the yard, she can still do it well.

"Auntie, does Your Highness like noodles?"

Ruyi raised her head and asked.

"Do you want to make birthday noodles for Your Highness?" Nanny Cao expressed the meaning of Ruyi's words.

It also made Ruyi a little embarrassed.

"That's impossible!" Grandma Cao waved her hands again and again to reject Ruyi's proposal, "You're pregnant, so it's bad if something happens to you!"

"It's not that easy to have an accident!" Ruyi was a little speechless when she heard the words. Although she was a little inconvenient to move, it was not to this point. When she was working before, when the unit was busy working overtime at the end of the year, the due date was still a week away. A colleague of mine climbed up and down the stairs to get things. It was not the same until the Chinese New Year holiday.

"At most, Auntie, don't you feel relieved when you look at me?"

The more Ruyi thinks about it, the more she feels that it is a good idea to make a bowl of birthday noodles for the prince, which is both innovative and heartfelt.

"No, you can just rest in the house!"

Nanny Cao justly refused.

Ruyi was a little frustrated, but after dinner, she put this matter behind her.

Sitting on the couch and talking to the prince for a while, Ruyi started to yawn, and after a while, her eyes also started to get sleepy.

The prince was also used to it, and called Shaoyao to wait on Ruyi to wash up, and then fell asleep with Ruyi in his arms.

In the middle of the night, Ruyi was awakened suddenly by bursts of tingling pain in her feet.She thought it was her dream, but the tingling pain on her feet, as if something had been drilled into her, made her react and her feet cramped.

She took a hiss of cold air and sat up, only to find that the prince who was supposed to be asleep beside her was nowhere to be seen.She was a little strange, but her physical reaction prevented her from noticing this, and she just felt a throbbing pain in her calf.

She couldn't help rubbing her calf while wiping away her tears.

"What's wrong!"

At this moment, the prince's voice sounded, and Ruyi looked up, and saw that the prince was fully dressed, as if he had just returned from outside.

"Calf hurts!" She replied with a slight sob.

The prince sighed, sat on the bed, put his hand on the position where Ruyi rubbed just now, and said, "Why are you getting more and more delicate, this is worth crying about."

"I just want to cry suddenly."

Ruyi also knew that she was abnormally emotional like this, but just now she just couldn't control her emotions.

"Is it better now?"

"Ah."

Ruyi nodded obediently, and for some reason, a word came out of her mouth: "Your Highness, where did you go just now?"

The crown prince paused slightly with his hand rubbing Ruyi's calf, but replied in a flat tone: "Just now in the study."

Ruyi felt something strange, her mind, which had always been dull, suddenly became brighter at this moment.She didn't ask any more, she didn't know how long it had passed, she leaned her head on the prince's chest, and said softly: "It doesn't hurt anymore!"

The prince stopped his hands, but Ruyi said softly again: "No matter what His Highness will do in the future, Ruyi feels that he is very happy to be able to be with His Highness with his children."
