Chapter 278 Pregnant
After several rounds of the game, everyone fell into the trap. Everyone was asked to play truth or dare, and as a result, everyone revealed many secrets and stories from their innermost hearts.
Yan Wuque quietly observed and listened to all this from a nearby tree, and gradually understood Yun Yuxi's intentions. He realized that he was not suitable to participate in it, so he quietly left the scene.
Yun Yuxi noticed Yan Wuque's departure, but she didn't care. Instead, she felt that this way she could get along more freely with her sisters.
She became more and more relaxed, and even sent Banxia to the kitchen, instructing her to prepare sumptuous food and fine wine, and to gather everyone to Nuanyu Pavilion.
Most of the concubines were entering Nuanyu Pavilion for the first time. They were full of novelty and looked around curiously. However, this place was carefully managed by Qianxiao Anran and the other three, and it looked particularly clean and orderly.
More than a dozen concubines admired Yun Yuxi and were amazed that she could train the maids in the yard so decently and gracefully, in no way inferior to the ladies from wealthy families.
Perhaps it is because these maids often follow Yun Yuxi to exercise, so they all have a good figure and outstanding temperament.
Especially Yun Ran, her unique charm is eye-catching, even compared with Yan Wuque's concubines. People who don't know her might mistake her for a daughter of a famous family.
Not long after, Banxia ordered the guards to go out to purchase ingredients, and Yun Yuxi decided to enjoy a delicious barbecue feast today.
When the concubines heard about barbecue, they had never heard of this new term and were looking forward to this new way of eating this delicacy.
Yun Yuxi was not in a hurry and continued to ask everyone for their opinions. She knew that those would require a suitable opportunity. She was ready to get along with everyone and then change little by little.
After all, there is a force behind each concubine, and it is not easy to persuade them to leave the palace. The families behind them will not agree. Parents who can sacrifice their daughters do so in order to curry favor with the rich and powerful or to get the protection of the palace.
Although they had never received any protection from the royal palace, they still felt that it was a matter of great honor for their daughters to marry into the royal palace, even if they were concubines.
Some are even willing to sacrifice their daughters as a bargaining chip to climb to a higher position. They think girls are just tools, the only tools they can use to please others.
But what they didn't know was that doing so would only cause their daughters to fall into endless pain and unable to extricate themselves. And these concubines could only endure it silently and could not resist.
Their fate has been determined by their family. They can only obey the family's arrangements and become victims in the power struggle.
"Sisters, let's get involved. We're going to have barbecue today. Follow me and try your cooking skills," Yun Yuxi said as she washed her hands.
The concubines followed Yun Yuxi's example and skewered the meat. Everyone was chatting and laughing, and it was very lively. The maids were responsible for making the fire. The skewers of meat were roasted, sizzling with oil, and the rich aroma wafted through the Nuanyu Pavilion.
Yun Yuxi ordered the servants to bring the carefully brewed fruit wine and taste it with the concubines. Everyone sat together, enjoying the pleasure brought by the food and wine. They seemed to forget their troubles and enjoy this happy moment to the fullest.
As time went by, some concubines gradually became intoxicated by alcohol and gradually relaxed. They began to tell their stories, and some even burst into tears. These stories may contain the emotions and helplessness that they have suppressed for a long time.
Seeing the concubines crying, Yun Yuxi felt compassion. She understood their difficult situation in feudal society. Not only did they have to face the reality of male superiority and female inferiority, but they also had to compete for their husbands' favor to protect their status and future.
Yun Yuxi ordered the maids of the concubines to help them back to their respective courtyards, and thoughtfully arranged sobering soup to help them relieve the discomfort after drinking. This action showed Yun Yuxi's kindness and care for others.
Yun Yuxi was in a complicated mood at the moment, with many emotions. She couldn't help but think of the TV dramas she had watched before. Those plots seemed fictional, but now she thought about it, they actually reflected the real life of women in ancient times. In that era of male supremacy, women were often regarded as appendages of men, without autonomy, and could only depend on men, becoming tools or playthings in their hands. But now, she was experiencing such a scene in person.
She realized that TV dramas are not just the imagination of screenwriters, but an artistic presentation of historical and social phenomena. Behind these plots are the efforts and sacrifices made by countless ancient women for survival.
Yan Wuque pushed his wheelchair in and saw that Nuanyu Pavilion was already tidy and clean, except for the lingering smell in the air, indicating that people had eaten barbecue and drank wine not long ago.
Yun Yuxi sat at the dressing table, looking at himself in the mirror. Unconsciously, he had traveled through time for almost a year. So many things had happened in this year.
She got married without thinking, hoping to take advantage of the situation to deal with her adoptive father's family, make a lot of money, and make the whole world her home.
But Yan Wuque broke into her heart just like that. She didn't know what love was, but she knew that she didn't reject the man's approach, and she helped him time and time again invisibly. It was not until the accident that happened to Yan Wuque during the treatment that she understood the saying, love comes from nowhere, but it is deep and lasting.
Yun Yuxi suddenly felt like vomiting. In fact, she had been feeling nauseous when she was grilling meat today, so she didn't eat anything.
Yun Yuxi, who was lost in thought, did not notice Yan Wuque's arrival. Yan Wuque stood up, walked gently behind Yun Yuxi, and put his hands on her shoulders. Only then did Yun Yuxi notice Yan Wuque's arrival.
"Yu'er, Banxia said that you haven't eaten anything. I haven't eaten either. I'm a little hungry. Would you mind eating something with me?" Yan Wuque asked with a smile.
"Yeah," Yun Yuxi nodded. She was indeed hungry.
Inside and outside the room. Banxia prepared food attentively, and the couple walked out hand in hand. The fact that Yan Wuque's leg had recovered was no longer a secret in Nuanyu Pavilion, so he did not hide it from the maid.
"Princess, this is the shredded chicken porridge that the prince specially asked me to prepare. Please try it, Princess. The prince is so good to you." Banxia said as she served the porridge to Yun Yuxi.
Yan Wuque was very satisfied with Banxia's performance, so he was in a good mood. He told Banxia that she didn't need to serve him, as he could do it. Banxia was no longer the wooden person she used to be, so he left with a sullen look on his face.
"Yu'er, this porridge is delicious, please try it." Yan Wuque picked up the bowl and handed it to Yun Yuxi.
For some reason, Yun Yuxi felt nauseous when she smelled meat, which scared Yan Wuque. He hurriedly supported the retching Yun Yuxi and shouted loudly to Banxia, asking her to go get a doctor.
"Your Highness, please take good care of the princess. I'll be there soon." Banxia ran out in a hurry, and Yun Yuxi didn't have time to stop her.
Yan Wuque picked up Yun Yuxi domineeringly, put her on the bed, let her lie down, and stood by the bed.
Banxia's impetuous look was just seen by Chi Yan, so Chi Yan went to call a doctor and let Banxia stay to serve Yun Yuxi.
Not long after, the doctor came and carefully felt Yun Yuxi's pulse, again and again, and finally knelt on the ground with a happy look on his face and said.
"Princess, I have a few questions for you. Please answer them truthfully."
"Um"
"Is your period delayed, Princess? Do you feel sick and sleepy when you smell meat recently?"
Yun Yuxi didn’t remember her period at all, Banxia replied, Yun Yuxi’s period was indeed delayed by seven or eight days.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. The princess is pregnant, but the period is still young. I have been taking her pulse for so long."
"Really? Is the princess really pregnant?" Yan Wuque asked excitedly.
Yun Yuxi didn't expect that she was pregnant. As a doctor, she didn't expect that she was pregnant. The saying "a doctor cannot treat himself" probably applies to Yun Yuxi.
"Really. Congratulations, Your Highness. Congratulations, Your Highness," the old doctor said happily.
"Reward, a big reward. Chi Yan, you send the old doctor back and make sure to bring the gift with you." Yan Wuque laughed happily, and everyone in Nuanyu Pavilion would be rewarded.
