"Mom, don't worry. As long as we are here, nothing else will come into view except the things in our small kitchen."
Zhou Ninghai understood what Nian Shilan meant when he heard it.
There are not many children who can survive in the palace, especially since their mother-in-law has not had children for so many years, and there are too many people who don't like them.
"But my dear, I'm afraid I can't keep the news of your pregnancy a secret."
Songzhi squatted next to Nian Shilan's legs and said, "There are so many people, and we can't guard against them all."
"I don't want to hide it, but from the outside, I am only two months pregnant, so I asked Jiang Cheng to go back to the emperor just now, saying that my health is not good and the child may not be able to Keep it.”
Nian Shilan sighed and said: "As long as my image is not good, those people will always feel more relieved. We will pay more attention to how long it can last."
"Don't worry, Madam. Since your last miscarriage, I have learned some pharmacology intentionally or unintentionally. Although I can't compare with the imperial doctor, there is still no problem in distinguishing what to eat."
Nian Shilan didn't expect that Songzhi would be by his side every day, but he didn't know when she secretly learned this.
"Okay, it's a good thing after all. I still want to congratulate you."
Zhou Ninghai said happily: "My dear, starting from today, you will be in bed."
"Yes, so this is what I want to tell you."
As soon as Nian Shilan stood up, Songzhi immediately stepped forward to support her. Nian Shilan smiled and patted her: "It's okay."
"I want to tell you that if anyone comes these days, you can let them in, but after these few days, you should know what to do."
Nian Shilan looked at herself in the mirror. Although her expression was not good, she still looked good: "After all, if you don't have good imagination, you can't be tired."
"What about Wan Gui and Hui Gui?"
Songzhi didn't know if everyone didn't want to see Nian Shilan now or what.
Nian Shilan thought for a while: "Concubine Jing, Concubine Duan, Gui Hui and Gui Ren Wan don't come too often, but as long as they come, just let them in, and let others talk about it. "
Nian Shilan also specifically asked Songzhi to explain that the kitchen must be light.
"But that won't be too hard on you."
Although Songzhi also knew that this was only temporary, she still didn't want Nian Shilan to suffer at all. Pregnancy was a good thing in the first place, but things changed when they came to their mother-in-law.
"Okay, Miss Songzhi, it's okay. Even if our little kitchen is light, it's still very good. I'm sure our lady won't be deprived of nutrients."
Of course Zhou Ninghai knew Songzhi's concerns, but he also knew that now was not the time to think about these things. The most important thing was for the empress to give birth to the child safely.
Sure enough, the next day everyone in the Old Summer Palace knew that Nian Shilan was pregnant.
I don't know what the queen's expression was, but the queen mother was the first to see Nian Shilan.
Nian Shilan knew that someone would come early in the morning, so she dressed herself up in a sickly look early in the morning, with a pale face.
"Happy Queen Mother."
When Nian Shilan saw the Queen Mother coming in, she wanted to stand up and salute, but the Queen Mother held her down first.
"Lie down quickly."
The Queen Mother took Nian Shilan's hand and sat beside the bed: "Why do you look so bad? Did you not sleep well?"
"Go back to the Queen Mother. Our queen was vomiting last night and didn't even eat her breakfast."
Songzhi spoke at the right time.
"Shut up, don't worry about such trivial matters."
Nian Shilan scolded her unhurriedly, then looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Don't worry, I just didn't sleep well at night, it's okay."
"You're still hiding it from me. The imperial doctor has already told you that your pregnancy is not good and your body is weak. Whether the fetus can be saved is still a question."
The Queen Mother felt really distressed when she saw Nian Shilan. After all, Nian Shilan had been serving in front of her every day for the past year, so it was inevitable that she would have feelings for her.
Nian Shilan held the Queen Mother's hand comfortingly and said: "I just want to try my best. After all, I am old. This age is not suitable for pregnancy. But now that I am pregnant, I always think of the past." I wonder if he has come back to see my concubine with the child she is carrying."
Nian Shilan specifically mentioned the child from before, and sure enough the Queen Mother's expression changed again.
"But it doesn't matter. The imperial doctor told me not to get tired, try not to walk, and just lie down on the bed if nothing happens. It's still possible to save the child."
When the Queen Mother listened to Nian Shilan's words, she only regarded them as comforting herself and said nothing.
"The Ai family has brought some good medicinal materials and some tonics. You should cook and eat more of them. There is also this Guanyin. The Ai family has specially given it to you to keep you safe."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Nian Shilan didn't care what the Queen Mother sent. What she wanted was for the Queen Mother to protect her child.
"Actually, even if my concubine is old and in good health, this child is not safe."
Nian Shilan lowered his head and looked a little depressed: "It is difficult for the children in the palace to survive, and I understand that. My mother's family is in such a position, I..."
"Good boy, don't think so much now. Leave the other things to the Ai family. Just take good care of yourself and give birth to the child."
The Queen Mother also knew what Nian Shilan meant, but if she was a princess, it would be okay for Nian Shilan to be born, but if she was an elder brother, then she would have to think about it carefully.
But Nian Shilan had never had a child before, so she would be extra careful this time. Instead of doing this, it would be better to keep her safe. When the child is born, if he is really his elder brother, he can be the first to pick him up and send him off.
This is the result of the discussion between the Queen Mother and the Emperor last night.
So when the Queen Mother heard Nian Shilan's words, she immediately continued: "Don't worry, the Ai family will take care of your fetus. With the Ai family protecting your fetus, no one dares to do anything to you."
Nian Shilan didn't expect the Queen Mother to say it so easily, but she understood it after thinking about it carefully.
"I thank the Queen Mother for myself and for my children."
"Your health is not good, and the Ai family will order you to stay behind closed doors and thank guests."
The Empress Dowager was the first to stop everyone outside the door: "If you want to see them, just go and spread the word. For other people, when they come, let Zhou Ninghai say it's the Ai family's wish."
"twitter."
Zhou Ninghai hurriedly agreed.
After the Queen Mother left, Nian Shilan relaxed.
The Queen Mother obviously came prepared today, otherwise she would not have understood her thoughts clearly.
And this also shows that the emperor also has this attitude, so her next pregnancy will be much safer.
But we still have to be on guard against the Queen. Even if the Queen Mother beats her, the Queen will not fail to do anything.
"Empress, Xin Changzai has been here for a long time. I heard that the Queen Mother is here, so I haven't come over to Princess Shu Yue's room."
