[Quick Wear] Puhua Fairy is blessed with a long pregnancy

Chapter 12: Queen Tong Jia's Blessing of Pregnancy

"You've had a hard time during your pregnancy. I have some excellent bird's nests here. You can take them back and use them to replenish your body."

The Empress Dowager looked at Sheng Huan and saw that she was neither arrogant nor impatient, and there was no dissatisfaction or resentment on her face. The depression that had arisen in her heart last night dissipated a little, and she felt slightly satisfied.

Now, enjoying the bird's nest is also to calm Sheng Huan's emotions. After all, she has a baby in her belly, and it would be bad if the fetus is disturbed.

"I would like to thank the Empress Dowager for her reward."

Sheng Huan also knew what was going on, so he smiled slightly and acted respectfully.

The Empress Dowager nodded, smiled and said a few more words of concern, then said she was tired and asked everyone to kneel and leave.

After leaving the Cining Palace, Sheng Huan could clearly sense that the concubines were no longer suppressing their excitement.

After all, the warning from the Empress Dowager was still before their eyes, and the concubines knew that they had lost their strongest competitor, and it might be nine months later. Who wouldn't be happy?

However, although the concubines with a lower sense of presence were excited, they did not dare to provoke Sheng Huan. After all, they all knew that Sheng Huan was not easy to mess with. Secondly, she was pregnant. The royal heir was more important than anything else, and no one could afford the consequences of anything going wrong. Thirdly, the favor of the Emperor was not false, and Sheng Huan's identity as his cousin was not false.

Therefore, after paying respects, many concubines left. However, Concubine Nara caught up with Sheng Huan. She looked like a caring sister:

"Princess Tong Jia, you are not used to many things when you are pregnant for the first time. I am not talented, but I have some experience after giving birth to the Fifth Prince. We are all women, and there are some things that are not easy to tell the imperial physician. If you have any questions, I will tell you everything I know."

"The concubine is thoughtful." Sheng Huan curled the corners of his lips slightly. He knew that Concubine Nara approached with bad intentions, but the smile in his eyes became deeper.

Although Concubine Nara looked well-intentioned, none of the women in the harem would trust her face.

But they were just pretending to be nice and the agreement was tacit.

"It is my blessing to be able to share the worries of Princess Tonggia." Concubine Nara shook her head.

Her eyes fell on Sheng Huan's belly, which had not yet bulged, with envy between her eyebrows, and a hint of nostalgic worry in her envy:

"It is the most difficult for a woman to be pregnant for ten months. When I was pregnant with the Fifth Prince, I didn't know why I got spots on my face. I was so ashamed that I dared not go out to see people, let alone let His Majesty see me, for fear of insulting the Emperor."

"Gege Tongjia, you don't know that many women will have some skin color problems after they become pregnant. I am still the best. Some women will get acne, which will leave marks after they break. Some women will even gain weight. My aunt from my mother's family is like this. Her waist was as thin as a willow before, but it has not gotten any smaller until now..."

As if she realized that she had said something wrong, she groaned, and fearing that Sheng Huan might misunderstand, she quickly explained:

"Princess Tongjia is naturally beautiful, which is incomparable to the concubines and their frail appearance. I don't think you will have these troubles."

Women should avoid thinking too much when they are pregnant. As Nara spoke, a dark color flashed across her eyes. Her expression did not change, and she even expressed it very well, without any affectation.

However, Sheng Huan is not an ordinary person. She has always been sensitive to emotions, and she instantly captured Nara's malice.

For the women in the harem, getting acne was tantamount to disfigurement. They dared not see the emperor until the acne was healed, fearing that their image in his heart would be ruined. Obesity was even more frightening for women. Women were most sensitive during pregnancy, and anything they couldn't think of was a big deal, which was most detrimental to the growth of the fetus.

Sheng Huan was naturally not naive enough to think that Nara's actions were unintentional. She raised her hand and stroked her temples, saying as a matter of course: "I am naturally beautiful and have never had such troubles since I was a child. Concubine Nara does not need to belittle herself."

Concubine Nara did not expect Sheng Huan to be so direct and shameless in boasting, and even to belittle her appearance. Her face visibly froze, and she was worried that Sheng Huan would see something, so she could only force a smile, but she could not say a word.

Sheng Huan pretended not to notice and said calmly, "I have something else to do in the palace, so please do as you please."

After that, he left without saying anything more.

Concubine Nara became more and more unhappy. Logically speaking, she entered the palace earlier than Sheng Huan, and even now had the Fifth Prince by her side. Everyone in the harem gave her some face for the sake of the Fifth Prince.

If Sheng Huan wasn't the emperor's cousin, she would have thought she was better than her. Who knows who would be the one to bow to? Concubine Nara felt aggrieved, but she had to half-kneel and bow to see him off.

Watching Sheng Huan's departing back, Nara became more and more annoyed at Li Ma's incompetence, otherwise how could she have allowed Tong Jia, her powerful rival, to become pregnant!

She clenched her palms, not in a hurry. Even if she got pregnant, she might not give birth. After all, everyone in the harem was watching. She didn't believe that the queen could bear to see Tong Jia climbing over her head and acting so rampant.

Today she was still impulsive.
