Chapter 1221: Pregnant at the Same Time
Before news of Lady Niohuru’s pregnancy even got revealed, they found out that Young Lady Niohuru had become pregnant. Interestingly enough, she was also one month pregnant.
What a rare coincidence. As expected of sisters, they ended up getting pregnant at the same time.
When Lady Niohuru told Lady Ula Nara that she was also pregnant, a trace of coldness flashed across Lady Ula Nara’s face. However, immediately afterwards, she told Lady Niohuru and Young Lady Niohuru to make sure to take good care of their health.
Ning Shu could sense that Lady Ula Nara didn’t like Lady Niohuru very much. She wasn’t this cold even when she faced Lady Nian who was Yinzhen’s favorite.
Lady Niohuru handled things very appropriately. She understood her own status well and was very respectful towards Lady Ula Nara, but Lady Ula Nara was still very cold towards her.
Lady Niohuru and Young Lady Niohuru left Lady Ula Nara’s courtyard together. Young Lady Niohuru said with a smile, “Big Sister, I never imagined that we’d get pregnant at the same time. I just wonder which one of these two mischievous little children would be born first?”
“They’ll naturally be born when it’s time,” said Lady Niohuru with a faint smile
Lady Niohuru didn’t talk much with Young Lady Niohuru. After exchanging some conventional greetings, she turned and left.
As Ning Shu followed Lady Niohuru, she glanced back at Young Lady Niohuru. Young Lady Niohuru was still standing there and stroking her belly with a faint smile.
Ning Shu retrieved her gaze. She had a feeling that there would be another fight breaking out soon.
Yinzhen had some nourishing foods delivered to Lady Niohuru’s courtyard. Lady Niohuru accepted the gifts and placed them in the storehouse. It was clear that she didn’t intend to eat them.
Lady Niohuru said to Ning Shu, “You’re the only one who knows medicine in this courtyard, so I hope that you’ll pay more attention to things. Once this child is born, I’ll definitely reward you generously.”
Ning Shu curtsied. “I’ll do my best.”
Lady Niohuru nodded. She didn’t force Ning Shu to say that she’ll definitely do it since the world was always unpredictable. No one could know what would happen in the next instant.
Lady Niohuru stroked her stomach. She had to protect her child no matter what.
Although Lady Niohuru had asked Ning Shu to help protect the baby in her belly, she didn’t allow Ning Shu to touch anything she ate. It was clear that she didn’t fully trust Ning Shu.
Ning Shu didn’t really care though. She continued to spend her days sweeping the courtyard. It really wasn’t her place to worry about the baby in Lady Niohuru’s stomach. The future emperor was blessed with great fortune and would definitely be born safely.
However, recently, she always felt like there was someone keeping an eye on her. Every time she walked into the kitchen for dinner, a maid would deliberately bump into her, then apologize and ask what her name was.
Ning Shu frowned. After observing for a few days, she confirmed that this maid who was bumping into her had something to say to her, so she found a rather isolated place to sit down to eat.
