Chapter 121: Her period hasn’t come yet, is she pregnant?
The next day, when Ning Miao woke up, he found that it was already noon.
She rubbed her eyes and sat up, looking at the hourglass in the corner.
She asked Chunlan, who was wiping the table in the room, "It's so late, why didn't you call me?"
"The lady is awake."
Chunlan quickly put down the rag in her hand, quickly washed her hands on the copper plate next to her, and walked over.
"I called her twice, but she was sleeping soundly. I thought she might not have slept well at night, so I didn't disturb her."
Ning Miao said nothing, raised his hand and rubbed his temple, thinking of the Dali Temple's roundup plan last night.
It must have been successful.
Otherwise, she would not have been able to sleep peacefully until now, and Yan Mobai would have come to find her long ago.
She lowered her eyes and curled her lips.
Fortunately, she succeeded. Otherwise, no matter she reported it or not, Yan Mobai would think it was her who did it and the blame would fall on her.
She didn't know if something like this would happen again in the future, and she didn't know if Yan Mobai would test her again.
But she knew that Yan Mobai did not trust her.
She also knew that she couldn't be so lucky every time.
Maybe one day, the blame will fall on her.
With a low sigh, she leaned against the head of the bed, looking a little tired.
Seeing her like this, Chunlan asked, "Madam, do you still want to sleep? Madam, you seem to be a lot sleepier these days."
Ning Miao raised his eyes.
Indeed, she seemed to be dozing off a lot and falling asleep easily in recent days.
People say that people feel tired in spring and sleepy in autumn. Spring is almost over and autumn has not yet arrived, so why can I sleep so well?
Suddenly she remembered something and her pupils narrowed.
Could it be that Yan Mobai secretly poisoned her?
He couldn't bear to use Dust to kill her suddenly, so he changed to a chronic poison that would not kill her immediately but could still control her life?
After thinking about it, she felt that it was not necessary, after all, she was still three years old.
This poison was enough to keep her under his control.
There was no need for him to do any more.
So, why so sleepy?
She suddenly remembered something and asked Chunlan, "What day is today?"
Chunlan laughed: "Madam, are you confused? Today is not even the first day of the lunar year, it's already the thirteenth day."
Thirteen?
Ning Miao was shocked.
Her period comes on the fourth day of every month. Today is the thirteenth day and her period has not come yet.
Nine days have passed and she still hasn't come. Does that mean...she is pregnant?
She was so excited that she quickly threw off the quilt and got out of bed.
Chunlan quickly took some clothes and gave them to her.
As she put on her clothes, she told Chunlan, "Get ready to wash up."
Seeing her in such a hurry, Chunlan was puzzled: "Madam, are you in a hurry to go to the rouge shop?"
"I have other things to do."
"Oh."
Chunlan didn't ask any more questions and immediately went to prepare washing utensils and water.
After it was ready and served, Chunlan asked, "What would you like to eat for breakfast, Madam?"
"Don't eat."
Ning Miao couldn't wait to go to the clinic to confirm whether she was pregnant.
Chunlan frowned: "Madam, you didn't even eat dinner yesterday, how can this be allowed?"
"It's okay to miss a meal or two." Ning Miao didn't take it seriously and picked up the mouthwash cup to rinse his mouth.
Suddenly I thought that if I was really pregnant, it would be okay for me to be hungry, but would it be harmful to the fetus in my belly?
Then he told Chunlan: "Prepare some food, something simple and light will do."
Seeing that she was willing to eat, Chunlan was also happy: "I will prepare it right away."
Chunlan went to the kitchen.
Ning Miao quickly put on her makeup in front of the mirror.
Seeing the sandalwood carved hairpin that she had taken down and placed on the dressing table last night, she was silent for a moment, but still picked it up and put it in her bun.
Chunlan brought the food over. Ning Miao ate a little and prepared to go out.
As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I saw Nanny Gan and a man dressed as a palace eunuch entering Fangfei Garden: "Madam."
Ning Miao frowned.
When the two of them approached, Nanny Gan introduced them, "This is Eunuch Sun who is by the Queen's side."
"Eunuch Sun." Ning Miao bowed slightly.
"I am here on the orders of the Empress, who asked you to bring a few boxes of the latest popular rouge and accompany me into the palace." Eunuch Sun said.
Ning Miao was a little surprised.
Although the ladies in the palace now all use rouge from her rouge shop, they all ask the maids around them to buy it, and no one has ever asked her to deliver it to the palace.
On second thought, she is the queen, and maybe she just wants to put on airs to show that she is superior to those concubines.
Then he curved his eyebrows and said, "It is a great honor for Ning Pan to be favored by the Queen, but the mansion does not have rouge in stock, so I have to go to the shop to get some."
"It doesn't matter. I'll accompany the lady to get it." Eunuch Sun replied.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Eunuch Sun. Please wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes."
"Well, please, ma'am."
Ning Miao returned to his room and thought quickly while changing his clothes.
There are only two possibilities when the Queen summons her into the palace.
One is that I really just want her rouge.
The other has other purposes.
But, what could be the purpose?
She had no grudge against the queen in her previous life or in this life, and the queen did not know her.
Moreover, the queen had a fifteen-year-old prince, and in the secret struggle for the throne, the queen did not take sides with any prince.
Therefore, the second possibility is unlikely.
She imagined again the possible dangers she might encounter when entering the palace.
There are also two situations.
One is that the queen is not satisfied with her rouge or her person, and Feng Yan is furious.
Another way is to meet King Kang.
The first possibility is also unlikely.
The queen was famous for her virtue. Although no one knew her true nature, at least that was the view of outsiders. So, even if she was just pretending, she would not be furious about this matter.
Moreover, even if it was the first type, she was not afraid.
Her current identity is still the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis' Mansion and Yan Mobai are both her support. No matter who the other party is, she will have some concerns.
The second option is also unlikely.
At this hour, the court session had already ended and Prince Kang should not be in the palace.
What's more, the queen is in the harem.
Except for the emperor, other men were not allowed to enter or leave the harem without being summoned.
Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved.
But safety comes first, so she still carefully instructed Chunlan before going out.
"Go to Fuxue Garden later and tell the Second Young Master that I am here to deliver rouge to the palace on the order of the Queen. If the Second Young Master is not in Fuxue Garden, go to the Dali Temple and tell him about this."
-
Ning Miao put on a veil on her face and went to the rouge shop with Eunuch Sun to get rouge.
When no one was around, she stuffed a silver ingot into the hands of Eunuch Sun.
Eunuch Sun was pleased to accept it and said to her, "A princess from a border country is coming to visit. Your Majesty wants her to see our Dazhao rouge and powder, so she ordered the lady to send rouge to her."
It turned out to be the case.
Ning Miao felt a little relieved.
But when she was brought to the Weiyang Palace and saw that it was full of guests, she was stunned.
"Today is the Queen's birthday. A banquet is being held. Madam, please come forward and congratulate her." Eunuch Sun reminded.
Ning Miao came back to his senses, his breathing becoming choked.
All the guests looked at her. Among them, she saw Prince Ning, Yan Mobai, and... Prince Kang!
She suddenly felt that this was a premeditated plan.
Why didn’t Eunuch Sun tell her earlier that today was the Queen’s birthday?
The only impression she had was that the Queen's birthday was at this time, in late spring or early summer, but she couldn't remember the exact date.
