Cheng Yujin originally wanted to play chess to wash away her shame, but unfortunately, she was not as thick-skinned as Li Seung-kyung.
When Li Seung-kyung carried Cheng Yujin to take a bath, he sighed and asked, "Is this what Old Lady Cheng taught you today?"
"No." Cheng Yujin leaned on his shoulder and did not have the strength to speak. Li Seung-kyung was still not satisfied and asked, "Then where did you learn it?"
"Can't it be that I'm good at it and learned it by myself?"
Li Seung-kyung had said this before. When he heard it, he immediately laughed and said meaningfully, "That's good."
Cheng Yujin closed her eyes and turned her head away, too lazy to talk to him. After the two of them took a bath, Li Seung-kyung's chest was wet. When he held her, the water droplets seeped through his clothes and lingered on Cheng Yujin's nose.
Li Seung-kyung put her on the bed. Cheng Yujin did not have much strength, but he was full of energy. Li Seung-kyung's hair was still wet at this time. The material of the pajamas was thin, and after being soaked by the water droplets, it was simply too tempting.
Li Seung-kyung did not care about his current state. He took a towel and sat on the bed, wrapping Cheng Yujin's hair. "Do you still want to apply it all like before?"
Cheng Yujin opened her eyes, and her gaze naturally fell on him. She stared at Li Seung-kyung's shaky and half-wet collar for a while, then she closed her eyes and said weakly, "Do whatever you want."
In the beginning, Cheng Yujin was a delicate fairy who went to bed early and woke up early. Now, she had also become depraved.
Li Seung-kyung could not help but laugh.
It was now February. Not only was the weather getting warmer, but the palace was also lively because of the Second Prince's marriage.
Everywhere was noisy and lively. Cheng Yujin went to pay respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress as usual. Empress Dowager Yang seemed to be greatly affected by the Second Prince's matter and did not have the energy to deal with outsiders like them. She waved her hand and let them leave. After Cheng Yujin came out of Cining Palace, she went to Kunning Palace to pay respects.
Today, Empress Yang's place was very lively. There were many people sitting in Kunning Palace. After all, it was her only son's marriage. Although her father and aunt were unhappy, Empress Yang was still very happy. So all the details of the Second Prince's wedding were handled by Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Yang.
Today, Empress Yang called many people over to help the Second Prince look at the pattern of the wedding candies. Half of the four concubines and nine concubines were present. The concubines sat in a row and picked the patterns one by one. Each of them had their own ideas.
Regarding these matters, Cheng Yujin had never dabbled in them. From time to time, a concubine would ask her, "What does the Crown Princess think?"
Cheng Yujin just smiled and nodded, "I think any one is good. I have never experienced this kind of thing. The Empress and the other concubines can decide. "
Cheng Yujin was the most slippery. Don't even think about trying to get information from her. The concubines saw that Cheng Yujin did not express her opinion and had no choice but to find someone else to choose.
The women in Kunning Palace chattered. Cheng Yujin held her hand and listened to the concubines talk. She did not express her opinion and just stood on the side like a wallflower. Logically speaking, this was what Cheng Yujin was best at. However, she didn't know what was wrong with her today, but she kept feeling nauseous and weak in her chest.
Cheng Yujin was secretly worried. What was wrong with her? Did she accidentally fall into someone else's trap? Cheng Yujin was shocked and her entire body tensed up. At this time, someone finally noticed Cheng Yujin's strange behavior and asked, "What's wrong with the Crown Princess? Why do you look like you're not feeling well? "
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stopped talking and looked at Cheng Yujin in unison. These days, everyone in the harem knew that the Crown Princess was the most graceful and noble. No matter when or where, the Crown Princess would never be rude.
Even Empress Yang looked at Cheng Yujin. In Empress Yang's impression, Cheng Yujin never left a topic for others to talk about. Ever since she entered the palace, she had never been absent or late to pay respects to the two harems. She never changed whether it was winter or summer, and her words were always watertight. Empress Dowager Yang and Empress Yang clearly knew that she was rebellious, but they couldn't find anything that could be used against her. Other than the fact that she hadn't given birth to a child, Cheng Yujin didn't have anything that could be used against her.
In this period of time, Empress Dowager Yang had made many difficult situations for Cheng Yujin, but Cheng Yujin withstood them all without any resentment or anger. Sometimes, even Empress Yang felt tired watching, but Cheng Yujin's expression didn't change at all.
Empress Yang felt that this person was terrifying. This kind of person either had no feelings or was ambitious. Either way, it made Empress Yang's back feel cold.
This was the first time that Empress Yang had seen Cheng Yujin's expression change in front of outsiders. Cheng Yujin's face was a bit pale. Although her bearing was still the same, it could be seen that she was weak.
Empress Yang asked, "Crown Princess, what's wrong?"
Since she was discovered, Cheng Yujin didn't continue to be stubborn. She bowed and said, "Empress, I accidentally caught a cold when I was sleeping last night. Today, I don't have any strength. I will be fine after resting for a while. "
Cheng Yujin said that she wasn't feeling well, so Empress Yang couldn't do anything. In the end, the royal family still cared about their reputation. Empress Yang was the mother of the nation. How could she learn from the common shrew mother-in-law who knew that her daughter-in-law was not feeling well and still force her daughter-in-law to serve tea and wash clothes with cold water? Empress Yang couldn't afford to lose face like this. If Empress Yang really did this, then it would be sending a wave of sympathy to Cheng Yujin for nothing. In the future, she would become the laughingstock of the imperial concubines in the imperial harem.
Therefore, at this moment, Cheng Yujin directly said that she wasn't feeling well. Empress Yang couldn't do anything and had to put on the posture of a virtuous stepmother. She said to Cheng Yujin with concern, "Since the Crown Princess isn't feeling well, then quickly go back and rest. Ben gong has people here and doesn't need you to wait on me. You should take care of your body. This is the greatest filial piety to ben gong and His Majesty. "
Cheng Yujin declined a few words and agreed. After she returned to Ci Qing Palace, perhaps because her mind was relaxed, the nausea and weakness became more obvious. Cheng Yujin sat on the soft couch with her hand on her forehead. Dugeaux brought in some medicine from outside and asked with a frown, "Crown Princess, what's wrong?"
Cheng Yujin shook her head, "I don't know either. I've been a bit sleepy since yesterday and I can't seem to wake up. When I wake up, my body is still very weak. "
Dugeaux frowned and turned to ask Lian Qiao, "Has there been anything strange with the things that the Crown Princess has been importing these past few days?"
Lian Qiao also knew that it was troublesome. She frowned and thought back. She and Dugeaux looked at each other for a long time, but they still didn't find anything strange. Dugeaux thought for a long time and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Crown Princess, is your period coming?"
Lian Qiao was also stunned when she heard this. At this time, Lian Qiao remembered that Cheng Yujin's period hadn't come yet this month.
Cheng Yujin frowned, "Not yet. Could it be because my period is coming soon? "
"Aiyo, Crown Princess." Dugeaux was very anxious. Their Crown Princess was indeed smart, but in some areas, she was really slow. Dugeaux couldn't help but lower her voice and whisper, "Crown Princess, maybe you're pregnant."
Pregnant? Cheng Yujin suddenly realized what was going on. She and Dugeaux looked at each other and showed a rare hesitant expression, "Really? But I don't feel anything. What if it's not, this … "
Cheng Yujin rarely didn't know what to do. Of course, she was looking forward to the child. Not only her, but Li Seung-kyung, the Emperor, the Cheng Family, and many ministers outside … they were all looking forward to the child in her belly. Because there were too many hopes, Cheng Yujin didn't dare to take the risk. What if she hastily called the Imperial Physician and startled everyone outside the Imperial Harem? In the end, it was just an empty joy. Wouldn't that be a great loss of face?
Du Ruo and Lian Qiao, the two servant girls, also did not know what to do. The three of them, master and servant, looked at each other in dismay. At this moment, the eunuch's voice suddenly came from outside, "The Crown Prince has arrived."
Cheng Yujin was thinking about the child when she suddenly heard that Li Seung-kyung had arrived. She jumped in fright. Before she could react, Li Seung-kyung had already strode into the inner hall. He looked like he had rushed back from Wenhua Hall. He was still wearing a crimson muslin robe, and his steps were full of dignity and solemnity.
Li Seung-kyung saw Cheng Yujin sitting on the soft couch, her face pale and expression indescribable fear. His heart was immediately stabbed. He quickly walked towards Cheng Yujin and reached out to stop Cheng Yujin from getting up to salute. "Don't move. I heard the palace people report that you are sick? "
As soon as he finished speaking, he strode to Cheng Yujin's side. Li Seung-kyung casually lifted the layers of crimson muslin robe. He sat next to Cheng Yujin and reached out to hold Cheng Yujin's shoulder. He carefully looked at her expression. "What happened?"
Cheng Yujin opened her mouth, not knowing if she should tell him. This was only the Dugeaux's guess. If it wasn't, wouldn't it be very awkward?
Li Seung-kyung saw Cheng Yujin's expression and his heart became even heavier. How could it be a small matter if Cheng Yujin wanted to speak but hesitated? Li Seung-kyung didn't dawdle and directly said, "Call the Imperial Physician."
"Your Highness!" Cheng Yujin hurriedly held Li Seung-kyung's hand and said, "It's not a big matter. There's no need to make a big fuss."
"You are sick. How is this not a big matter?" Li Seung-kyung's tone was firm this time. He didn't have any intention of accommodating Cheng Yujin and said firmly, "Liu Yi, you go personally."
"Yes." Liu Yi bowed and turned to leave. Cheng Yujin saw that she couldn't hide the matter and could only throw caution to the wind. "Your Highness, I have something to tell you."
Liu Yi heard the voice and stopped to look at Li Seung-kyung. Li Seung-kyung's eyes were still looking at Cheng Yujin. He only raised his hand and motioned for Liu Yi to stop.
"What happened?"
Li Seung-kyung's eyes were heavy. Cheng Yujin sighed in her heart and leaned over to whisper in his ear. After Cheng Yujin sat up straight, Li Seung-kyung was stunned for a while before he realized what Cheng Yujin had said.
After he understood, Li Seung-kyung's long eyebrows immediately raised. "You …"
Cheng Yujin hurriedly raised a finger to block Li Seung-kyung's lips. "It's just a guess! Your Highness, please don't make a big fuss. "
Everyone in the palace saw the Crown Princess' actions and immediately lowered their heads. Li Seung-kyung didn't pay attention to Cheng Yujin's actions at all. His mind was in a daze and he didn't notice anything else.
He subconsciously grabbed Cheng Yujin's finger that was blocking his lips. After a while, he finally regained his senses. He looked at Cheng Yujin carefully as if he was looking at a fragile object. He originally wanted to hug Cheng Yujin to express the excitement in his heart, but when he saw Cheng Yujin's slender shoulders, he didn't dare to touch her.
Cheng Yujin was originally very flustered, but when she saw Li Seung-kyung like this, she wanted to laugh. "Your Highness!"
Li Seung-kyung pinched his nose and said, "Wait a moment, let me calm down. Oh right, we should find an imperial physician now. "
Cheng Yujin's expression changed slightly. "But …"
"If your guess is true, then we should find an imperial physician even more." Li Seung-kyung used his palm to wrap around Cheng Yujin's hand and transmitted a steady stream of warmth to her. "Don't worry, it's my people who came. They can be trusted."
Cheng Yujin was relieved when she heard this. Liu Yi had been in the palace for many years. When he saw this, he knew that something big must have happened. It might even be related to the little master's happiness. The two masters were usually smart and calm, but when they encountered this kind of situation, they panicked. However, the palace maids and eunuchs who dealt with the harem all day might not be the same. Liu Yi immediately guessed that the Crown Princess might be pregnant.
When he thought of this possibility, Liu Yi didn't even need the Crown Prince to say anything. He immediately went to find an imperial physician.
Soon, Imperial Physician Zhao arrived. On the way, Liu Yi didn't know what he said to Imperial Physician Zhao. He only knew that when the Imperial Physician Zhao entered, he had a serious expression on his face. He greeted Li Seung-kyung. Li Seung-kyung casually waved his hand, indicating that he should hurry to see the Crown Princess.
At this moment, the curtain of the inner hall had been lowered. Cheng Yujin stretched out one arm. The Dugeaux knelt on the steps and covered Cheng Yujin's wrist with gauze. Imperial Physician Zhao focused on feeling the pulse. After a while, he said solemnly, "Crown Princess, I'm sorry to offend you. Can you use your other hand?"
Cheng Yujin stretched out her other hand. Imperial Physician Zhao took a much shorter time than before. He seemed to have confirmed something. He quickly stood up and saluted Li Seung-kyung. "Your Highness, the Crown Princess's pulse is smooth and smooth. Her pulse is smooth and not stagnant."
