~ BEING PREGNANT IS A HYPOCRITICAL ACT ~

When the palace maid heard the elegant tone, she hurriedly said, “Madam, you are precious right now. I heard that Princess Wenxian had come to live in the Palace. Why doesn’t this servant let someone talk about this situation and ask the Princess to help roast the flower fruit tea?”

Su Yuyi couldn’t help but smile, “You still understand my thoughts.”

“This servant will go immediately.”

As soon as Mu Yunyao arranged the Snow Fox, she heard from Jin Lan that there were people from Cuirong Residence and could not help but slightly frown. “You said Cuirong Residence?”

“Yes, it is said that he belongs to the Imperial Concubine Yue.”

Earlier, the poisonous lady had said that Su Yuyi schemed to take false pregnancy grass, and a smile flashed across his eyes, “Let people in.”

“Yes.”

A palace maid quickly walked in and bowed respectfully to Mu Yunyao. “This servant greets Princess Wenxian.”

“Why have you come to seek an audience?”

Mu Yunyao sat upright on the chair. Her sky-blue skirt slowly stretched out, revealing a bit of embroidered shoes with pink lotus flowers. The palace maid slightly raised her head and saw the dazzling beads of jade embedded in those embroidered shoes flowing with brilliance. She hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look again.

“Reporting to the Princess, Imperial Concubine Yue is currently pregnant, causing great joy. But, Madam can’t drink any soup or water. Madam missed your brewed tea and could only drink the flower fruit tea made by the Princess. For the sake of the child in Madam’s womb, I don’t know if I can trouble the Princess to make some, please?”

Jin Lan frowned when she heard this. Imperial Concubine Yue is pregnant, and what does it have to do with our Miss? How could she drink the herbal tea if she couldn’t drink the soup or water? What was there to miss? Su Yuyi had never tasted the flower fruit tea made by Miss. She didn’t even know what it tasted like, so how could she miss it?

However, Mu Yunyao slightly smirked. “Alright, but I didn’t bring anything before coming to the Palace, so the materials needed to make this flower fruit tea still need to be prepared by the Internal Affairs Division under the command of Imperial Concubine Yue herself. I’ll write a list now so that you can take it back to Imperial Concubine Yue, and when the things are ready, I’ll start roasting the tea.”

“Yes, in that case, I’ll have to thank Princess Wenxian.”

Mu Yunyao finished writing the list and had Jin Lan send the person out.

“Imperial Concubine Yue undoubtedly intended to make things difficult for you, Miss.” Who didn’t know about the feud between Miss and the Su family? When the Su family was in trouble, Su Yuyi not being involved was already a good thing. Relying on the fact that she was pregnant, she began to act arrogantly and ordered Miss to make some tea. It truly makes people angry.

“Yeah, I can see it.” Mu Yunyao smiled.

“In that case, why did Miss agree to help her make flower fruit tea?”

“Just wait and see.”

In the side hall of Cuirong Residence, Imperial Concubine Yue heard the palace maid say that Mu Yunyao had agreed. She couldn’t help but feel happy in her heart as she said, “Send the list that Mu Yunyao wrote to the Internal Affairs Division. Tell them to prepare it quickly. I’m still waiting for Mu Yunyao to make tea for me.”

“Yes.”

Thinking about Mu Yunyao’s angry yet helpless expression, Su Yuyi’s mood was delighted, and she even ate half a bowl more in the evening. Just as she was about to go for a walk in the imperial garden, she saw Imperial Concubine De leading a group of people over. She quickly withdrew her complacent expression and obediently went forward to pay her respects, “Greetings, Imperial Concubine De.”

Imperial Concubine De frowned and suddenly threw a list in front of Su Yuyi’s face, “Did you get the Internal Affairs Division to prepare these things?”

Su Yuyi’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly picked up the list to check. “Winter Snow in December and the plum blossoms in February, spring rain in March and tea bud in April, fine bamboo in May and grass in June, sweet fruit in July, August and September, the autumn frost in October and honey in winter to get a pot of herbal tea. These items were the list of things to prepare for flower fruit tea.”

The Imperial Concubine De’s face was gloomy. “That’s right. When the Internal Affairs Division saw this list, they went crazy. They knew you were expecting and couldn’t be easily condemned, so they directly went to Imperial Concubine Li and reported it to her. So many concubines in this Palace had given birth to children and could raise them peacefully. So, why are you the only one so precious?”

When she thought of Imperial Concubine Li’s mocking expression when she held the list, Imperial Concubine De felt heartache. If not for the fact that Su Yuyi was pregnant, Imperial Concubine De would have been more than willing to repeat the original words of Imperial Concubine Li repeatedly to ensure that she could make people feel ashamed.

Su Yuyi’s face turned green and white: “Your Royal Highness, I couldn’t eat any food too much recently, and I especially want to drink some flower fruit tea. That’s why, but who would have known Mu Yunyao would cause trouble for me on purpose?”

Imperial Concubine De couldn’t wait to slap her over. “Mu Yunyao, it’s Mu Yunyao again. How many times have I warned you not to provoke her again? Do you still dare have any ideas about her? Do you want me to think of a way to imprison you in the side hall so you can live peacefully?”

“Madam, I know I was wrong. Please don’t. Oh, my stomach.” Su Yuyi covered her stomach and turned pale.

The Imperial Concubine De’s heart was panicked as she hastily ordered someone to look for the Imperial Physician. “Hurry and go find the Imperial Physician!”

The Imperial Physician came quickly. “Reporting to esteemed Imperial Concubine De and Imperial Concubine Yue, although it is relatively stable after three months of pregnancy, you still have to be careful not to get too agitated. This humble subject will prescribe some herbal medicine to protect the fetus and ask Imperial Concubine Yue to take it on time.”

Su Yuyi leaned against the bed with a pale face and caressed her stomach. “Thank you, Imperial Physician.”

Imperial Concubine De looked at Su Yuyi and then glanced at her stomach. She did her best to suppress the anger in her heart as she said stiffly, “You’ve taken good care of yourself, and have a rest. I’ll let people prepare the items on this list. Try not to give other things too much thought. The most important one is to have an heir in peace.”

“Yes.”

The Imperial Concubine De brought the Imperial Physician back to the main hall.

The Imperial Physician knelt on the ground, his heart thumping wildly. “Madam, do you need this humble subject to check your pulse?”

“No need. Imperial Physician, you’re an old-timer in the Imperial Hospital, so I know that you people only say sixty percent of what happened. However, I want to hear the truth today. How is Su Yuyi’s child?”

“Reporting to Madam, the baby in Imperial Concubine Yue’s womb is a little unstable, but she can still give birth safely after drinking some pregnancy protection medicine. She needs to pay extra attention to it in the future and must never move the fetal gas again.”

“What if she accidentally moves the fetal gas? What harm does it do to the child and Imperial Concubine Yue?”

“This… Madam, a woman’s childbirth is extremely dangerous, and if she were to move the fetal gas again, I am afraid that the child would be born weak and hinder Imperial Concubine Yue’s body.”

“I understand. You can leave now.”

When the Imperial Physician left, the maidservant hurriedly served tea. “Empress, do you want to help Imperial Concubine Yue gather the ingredients for the flower fruit tea?”

“Imperial Concubine Li spread and made a great fuss about this matter to the imperial harem to make fun of me. First, for the piece of meat in the concubine’s womb, and secondly, to shut up Imperial Concubine Li and the others, I must have made this flower fruit tea!”

“But the Grand Princess Yi De is there ….”

“First, gather the ingredients, wait for everything to be ready, and then prepare a generous gift. I’ll personally ask for Princess Wenxian’s help!”

“Yes, Madam.”
