Chapter 793 Pregnancy Reactions!
The news that Mu Xin Nuan was pregnant was kept from her.
Although she insisted that she was a physician, the emperor still issued an edict ordering Zhao, the physician, to go to the East Palace twice a day to check on her pulse.
As the Crown Princess, it's perfectly normal for her to check the patient's pulse more frequently.
"Anuan, you should rest well today, but you can't just sleep all the time. You can take a walk in the Imperial Garden. Also, I have already sent someone to tell your mother-in-law that she should come to the palace to keep you company today."
"Okay, I understand. Where's Zonghua?"
Duanmu Chuze glared at her. "Don't you know your own situation? You're pregnant. Do you think you can let Zonghua get close to you right now? What if he accidentally hurts you?"
Mu Xin Nuan twitched her lips. He was so small, how could he hurt himself?
"Don't underestimate children. If they are naughty, run fast, or bump into you hard, it will be difficult for you to avoid them."
"I understand. Go quickly, don't keep Father waiting."
This time, Mu Xin Nuan's pregnancy is different from before. She is not picky about food, but she can't eat much of anything. She doesn't have a big appetite, and she is always a little irritable.
Fortunately, she knew that this was indeed the case for some pregnant women.
In addition, she was extremely sleepy, as if she could never get enough sleep, no matter how long she slept.
But if she doesn't move around much, she won't get hungry and will eat less. This makes Duanmu Chuze worry that the child might not grow taller.
Mu Xin Nuan herself was also a little worried, so she still insisted on taking a walk in the garden every day, and most of the time, Duanmu Chu Ze accompanied her.
"Your Highness, the chicken soup is ready. Would you like it to drink now, or would you like it simmering on the stove?"
"Let's leave it for now, I have no appetite."
Aunt Fang came over and helped Mu Xin Nuan put her hair up simply. Knowing that the Crown Princess was prone to drowsiness recently, she always kept her hair simple to make it easier for the Crown Princess to lie down.
"You can't always be like this. How about I accompany you for a walk in the garden?"
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head without interest. "It's always the same old thing, nothing new. I don't want to go."
"Your Highness, you are pregnant now. Even if it's just for the sake of the little boy or the young lady in your womb, you should eat more. You can't just lie there all the time."
Mu Xin Nuan knew that what she said made sense, but she just got sleepy easily. What could she do?
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has ordered a shadow puppet troupe to be invited, saying it's to amuse you."
Sure enough, Mu Xin Nuan's eyes lit up. It had been a long time since she had watched a shadow puppet show, so this time she could finally go out for a walk.
Mu Xin Nuan watched less than one act of the play before Li Shi arrived.
The mother and daughter sat together and listened to the shadow puppet show for half an hour. Before they knew it, Mu Xin Nuan had drunk a bowl of chicken soup and eaten a few pastries.
Aunt Fang nodded slightly. His Highness the Crown Prince's method had indeed worked. This way, the Crown Princess would be in a better mood and eat more, which would be beneficial for the baby in her womb.
"Alright, let's rest for a bit. It's a good opportunity for me to have a chat with my mother."
"Yes, ma'am."
Rongyue and the others tactfully sent the people away, and then gave the shadow puppet troupe a reward of silver.
"Mother, it's been a few days. How is everything at home?"
“Good! Very good. Now that the marriages of the two girls are settled, the old master is very happy. These days, he often goes to the Zhenguo General’s Mansion, and the two old men are comparing tigers together.”
“My grandfather and maternal grandfather are getting old, which is good. Sometimes they have someone to bicker with and hold a grudge, which is nice. Their lives are not too monotonous. Especially my grandfather, now he is all alone, and sometimes he inevitably feels a little lonely.”
"Yes, now Qingyang usually sleeps with him at night."
"Mother, did Aze say why he wanted to see you?"
Li shook her head, looking puzzled, and said, "Didn't you say you had something important to discuss with me?"
Mu Xin Nuan smiled, and gently stroked her lower abdomen with her left hand.
Upon seeing her action, Li suddenly realized what was going on!
"Ah Nuan, are you pregnant again?"
Mu Xin Nuan nodded with extreme happiness, "Mother, the time is still short, so Father and Mother have issued decrees to keep the news under wraps. Aze is also worried that someone might harm me and the child, so right now in the East Palace, only the few people around me know."
“I understand. Zonghua is getting older, and it’s indeed time to have another one.”
“Mother, Aze is worried that I’m too bored in the palace by myself and can’t leave the East Palace, so he asked you to come into the palace to keep me company. How about this, tomorrow, you bring your third sister and Tingting with you, and just say that I invited them over to sit for a while, and also to see how well they behave.”
"Okay, Mother understands. Don't worry, when I get back, I'll only tell your father. I'll keep it from Grandpa for now, otherwise your maternal grandfather and the others will probably find out."
"Well, you'll be busy preparing for Tingting's wedding, which will probably be hard on your mother again."
"What nonsense are you talking about, child? You are my daughter. If I don't care about you, who else will I care about?"
“Mother, the Fu family in Yanzhou is a good family. Fu Hongzhang has been training in the army and is someone that Aze values highly. When you have time, you should also teach Tingting well. Marrying a military officer is different from marrying a civil official, so you should also teach her to be more considerate in the future.”
"Alright, enough about them. How far along are you now? Is the pregnancy stable?"
Mu Xin Nuan smiled happily, "It's alright, it's just that I always feel sleepy and think about sleeping all day long. I don't really want to eat much either, so A Ze thought of inviting you over so you can accompany me for a walk and then I can eat more."
Lady Li hadn't expected such good news upon entering the palace today. After a moment of joy, she went on to explain in detail some important points.
When Duanmu Chuze returned to the East Palace in the evening, Lady Li had already left.
When Duanmu Chuze heard from Aunt Fang that Anuan had eaten a lot today and was in much better spirits, he was finally relieved.
"Ziyi, go and summon the head musician of the palace's music bureau. I want to see what interesting programs they have recently prepared, and have them come to the East Palace tomorrow to perform for the Crown Princess."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After Mu Xinnuan had been resting for another ten days, Xu finally found an opportunity to enter the palace with Li.
This time, Madam Li brought Mu Xinyi with her, while Madam Xu brought her daughter, Li Wanhua.
Mu Xinyi has been coming almost every day lately. Mu Xinnuan wanted her to learn more about palace etiquette here. Unexpectedly, Li Wanhua also came along.
