Chapter 63 Abnormal Pregnancy

Chapter 63 Abnormal Pregnancy
In February of the 41st year of the Kangxi reign, Yihuan was already six months pregnant.

The little guy in the belly is very lively and active. He does boxing every day. He especially likes Honghui and moves especially hard when he hears the sound of his brother reading.

Sometimes Yihua would feel the pain of her bulging belly and think to herself that this child was really naughty.

At the same time, Yihua's peaceful pregnancy life ended, and she began to vomit everything she ate.

It all started with a hotpot. It was the middle of winter, and Yihuan had a sudden idea and ordered a mutton soup hotpot. The chef in the mansion took great pains to prepare a large table of dishes, but unfortunately Yihuan was not able to enjoy it.

From the moment she smelled the mutton soup, Yihuan couldn't stop the urge to vomit. In a rage, Yinzhen punished the eunuch in charge of cooking with ten strokes of the cane.

This pot of mutton soup was like turning on a switch. Yihuan couldn't stand the smell of anything. She even moved away the flowers and plants in the yard. She could only eat a little porridge every day. She lost weight quickly and her belly looked particularly big.

Yihuan asked Nanny Chen to send some medicinal herbs to the eunuch in charge of the kitchen, and attached twenty taels of silver. The kitchen staff had served well, and if the master was punished for his own fault, he should be comforted.

On this day, Yinzhen came back late from supervising the accounting in the government office. Seeing a bowl of rice soup and a plate of pickled vegetables in front of Yihuan, he frowned so hard that a fly could be killed: "Su Peisheng, tell Feng Yong to get out. Don't you want to serve me?"

Feng Yong was the eunuch in charge of cooking at the Fourth Prince's mansion. Yinzhen had been eating the dishes cooked by him since he was a child and they really suited his appetite.

"Master, it has nothing to do with others. I just can't eat." Yihuan's face was pale and her voice was weak, which made Yinzhen even more worried.

Feng Yong dragged his aching leg in and knelt down: "I pay my respects to Lord Beile and Lady Fu Jin."

"The lady has a poor appetite. You should always find ways to persuade her to eat more. How can her body bear all this every day?" Yinzhen said angrily, pointing at the dinner that had not been removed yet.

Feng Yong kowtowed and said, "My Lord, I am also worried about the health of the Lady and the Young Master. This bowl of porridge may seem ordinary, but it was actually made with medicinal food from the Imperial Physician. It may not taste very good, but it is definitely nutritious."

"I dare to say that it is very common for pregnant women to feel nausea and vomiting. Perhaps there is some food in the Unalana mansion that the concubine liked when she was a child, which may have miraculous effects." Feng Yong said bravely.

Yinzhen thought about it and felt that what he said made sense. Even if Fu Jin still couldn't eat, she would probably feel better with her biological mother by her side.

"Okay, take care of Madam Fu's diet, and go down."

Yinzhen did not mind the smell of Yihuan's vomit, and moved closer to look at her pale face.

"How about letting your mother stay for a while tomorrow?" Yinzhen coaxed her, "Also, Honghui will be six years old in a little over a month. You are not in good spirits and your health is so bad that you can't take care of him. Why not let him move to the front yard in advance? I will take care of him, and the eldest princess is here, so you can rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Yihuan grabbed Yinzhen's hand tightly and said, "No, he is not even six years old yet."

"I don't want him to feel that he can be abandoned for the sake of Honghui in my belly."

"Yinzhen, he can only accompany me for these six years. I hope this is a complete six years. After March, he will move into the front yard, have a baby, and will officially go to the study room to study. His future is bright."

"He's completely mine for only these six years. Please don't move him out, okay?"

Yinzhen patted Yihuan's back quickly, feeling the bony spine, and felt very sad: "Okay, okay, let's not move now. I just said that. Why are you in such a hurry?" "Slow down, drink some water." Yinzhen tested the temperature of the cup and brought it to Yihuan's lips.

"Grandpa, how about we prepare a different sixth birthday for Honghui?" Yihuan thought about it and suddenly had an idea.

Yinzhen saw that Yihuan was distracted when she was thinking about something and vomited less frequently, so he quickly asked, "What do you want to do, Fu Jin?"

Yinzhen chattered with Yihuan for a long time, and he tasted some of the flavor.

Fu Jin always had a sense of cherishment towards Honghui, as if she had lost and regained him. This feeling was so strong that Yinzhen suddenly envied Honghui a little. He could feel Fu Jin's friendship towards him, but this friendship was always elusive across thousands of mountains and rivers, unlike the friendship towards Honghui, which was as warm as a volcanic eruption.

The next day, Mrs. Ulanara hurried over early in the morning. She felt very distressed when she saw her daughter's pointed chin.

"Fujin, you haven't had breakfast yet, right? I had someone prepare this overnight. It was your favorite food when you were a child. Try it and see if you have an appetite."

Yihuan saw her mother take out a plate of still warm and soft-looking snacks from the lunch box. She picked one up out of curiosity. When she took a bite, she found the snack was golden and crispy, with a full filling, this one was black sesame.

It looked like it was fried, but it wasn't greasy at all and had a sweet taste. Yihuan ate three of them in one go.

Nanny Chen was chanting Amitabha beside her: "Madam is the one who has the solution. The amount that Fu Jin ate today is several times more than usual."

Mrs. Unalana took out a small paper bag from the lunch box and tore it open to reveal dried apricots. "I heard that you were feeling very uncomfortable. This is what your father queued up at Wuweixuan yesterday to buy. When you were a child, you always clamored to eat their preserved fruits, and your father often went to queue up there."

Yihuan wiped her mouth, drank some water and took a sip. It was so sour and refreshing, and the nausea was immediately suppressed.

"My daughter is unfilial and has made mother and father worry." Yihuan was deeply moved. They had to prepare all these foods overnight, which showed how much they cared about it.

"What's the big deal? Mother doesn't have anything important to do at home anyway." Mrs. Ulanara said it didn't matter. She looked around her daughter's house carefully. There were traces of the male owner's life everywhere in the room, which was good. "Come on, let's move after eating so that we can have an appetite for the next meal."

"Mother, you make it sound like your daughter is a little pig." Yihuan frowned, not liking this statement.

Madam Ulanara nodded at her and said, "Don't be upset. My words are just a little blunt but true. The child is growing up now. If you can't eat, it will not only make you feel bad, but also make him feel bad."

In this way, Mrs. Ulanara accompanied Yihuan to stroll around the garden for half a morning. Yihuan felt a little tired and went to catch up on her sleep.

"Madame Chen, come here."

Madam Ulanara asked Nanny Chen to go outside to talk so as not to disturb Yihuan's rest: "Did Yihuan also have the same symptoms when she was pregnant with Honghui?"

Nanny Chen shook her head and said, "Madam, although it was Fu Jin's first child, the reaction was minimal, but the delivery was a little difficult."

Madam Ulanara looked around and said, "Most women experience morning sickness in the first three months of pregnancy. There must be a reason why Yihua is so abnormal. Have you checked this room carefully?"

Upon hearing this, Nanny Chen suddenly realized something and her face changed drastically.
