The servants in Zhiting Pavilion have had a hard time these days.

Today's meal had just been served when Mo Yaohua's expression changed as soon as he came out.

She pointed at the braised shrimps on the table and said, "What are you doing? I said I don't want to see fish and shrimps!"

The little maid reported weakly, "Miss, this was made by Aunt Lan herself, and she said it was your favorite..."

Mo Yaohua felt her stomach churning. "No one can do this. It's disgusting. Take it down now!"

"Yes, miss, I'll take it away right away." The little maid did not dare to delay and quickly brought out the plate of braised shrimps.

Mo Yaohua looked at the bowl of braised pork on the table again, "What is this? It's so greasy and disgusting, take it away!"

Jinqiu quickly called a maid who did rough work in and asked her to bring the braised pork down as well.

Mo Yaohua sat down at the dining table, "What kind of soup is this?"

Jinqiu took the soup bowl and prepared to serve her some soup. "Lily and lotus seed soup, to help relieve the greasiness of the braised pork."

Mo Yaohua looked at him with disdain, "The soup is so bland, it makes me lose my appetite just by looking at it. Why are the meals so perfunctory lately?"

Jinqiu placed the bowl of soup in front of her and said, "Miss, please tell me what you want to eat. I will do my best to satisfy you."

Mo Yaohua picked up the spoon and took a sip. As soon as he swallowed it, he felt uncomfortable in his stomach and vomited it out immediately.

Jinqiu was startled, "Miss?"

Mo Yaohua threw the spoon away and said, "It tastes terrible. I won't eat it anymore. Why can't you make a dish that I want to eat?"

Jinqiu has been tired of the hassle lately, "The kitchen has always been made this way, did the young lady like it so much in the past?"

Mo Yaohua glanced at the two remaining dishes and said, "No, I don't want to eat anymore. I have no appetite just looking at them. Give me some snacks."

"Yes, Miss..." Jinqiu responded, called the maid to come in and clean up, and went to the kitchen to make snacks for her.

Mo Yaohua just had a poor appetite a few days ago, but these past few days he began to retch and couldn't eat at the sight of food.

Amber was the most informed. She complained to Mo Zhaohua, "Luckily she is our daughter, otherwise who would spoil her?"

There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. Although the illegitimate daughters of other noble families are called young ladies, they are not treated very well in the mansion.

Mo Yaohua lives like a legitimate daughter because she is favored by her biological mother, her brother is the eldest son of a concubine, and there is no legitimate son in the mansion.

Mo Zhaohua had also heard some news a few days ago, saying that Mo Yaohua had a poor appetite and kept making trouble for the servants in the courtyard.

After hearing what Amber said today, I remembered my pregnancy in my previous life, so I asked Amber, "Can't eat and can't stop retching?"

Amber pouted, "That's right. We have to make a fuss about every meal. The people in Zhiting Pavilion have been complaining for a long time."

Mo Zhaohua frowned slightly, "Have you seen a doctor?"

Amber shook her head. "No, it's just that the weather is getting hotter and I'm feeling irritable, so I've lost my appetite. What's the point of seeing a doctor?"

Mo Zhaohua put down the book with mixed feelings, "I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the weather, but an extra piece of meat in my stomach."

Amber was slow to react and didn't understand, so she asked in confusion, "There's an extra piece of meat, what does that mean, miss?"

Pearl was the one who reacted quickly, but her eyes widened in shock, "The Third Miss is pregnant?"

"No way? Miss Three hasn't even married yet..." Amber said, thinking of the flower viewing banquet, "Is it Prince Qi's child?"

Pearl didn't dare to believe it, nor did she want to believe it. "How could I be so lucky to get pregnant in one try?"

Mo Zhaohua narrowed his eyes and said, "Judging from the symptoms, it is very consistent with the description of morning sickness in medical books."

In fact, there was no need for any medical book to describe it. She had given birth to Chu Xuanchi's child in her previous life, so she was an experienced person.

Amber looked dissatisfied, "If the Third Miss is really pregnant with Prince Qi's child, then can she enter the palace as a concubine?"

A scheming concubine's daughter could only be the concubine of Prince Qi, but the situation changed once she became pregnant with the eldest son.

Zhenzhu also lowered her head. She didn't want Mo Yaohua to be a concubine because that was obtained by scheming against her own young lady.

Even though the princess announced to the public that it was a maid in the mansion who had the idea, Pearl and Amber agreed that it was Mo Yaohua.

The reason was simple: it all lay in Mo Yaohua's reaction and the words he blurted out when he found out there was no Jiebuluo flower in the sachet.

***

A few days later, a doctor came into the Minister of Revenue's residence carrying a medicine box.

However, he did not go to Mo Yaohua's Zhiting Pavilion, but Lan Ruyu's Lanwu Garden.

Amber was puzzled, "Miss, why did the doctor go to Lanwu Garden instead of Zhiting Pavilion?"

Mo Zhaohua guessed without even thinking, "Maybe he's afraid that others will know about it, so he wants to hide it from others."

She could guess that Mo Yaohua was pregnant, and since Lan Ruyu had given birth to two children, she would naturally think in this direction.

Today, Lan Ruyu asked for a doctor on the pretext of feeling unwell, but in fact she wanted the doctor to take Mo Yaohua's pulse.

Mo Yaohua was reluctant, "Mother, you are the one who is unwell, why did you let the doctor take Yaoyao's pulse?"

Lan Ruyu didn't say her doubts, "You have no appetite recently, right? Let the doctor take a look at you."

The doctor had already received benefits and instructions from her, saying that he was treating a patient, but in fact he was checking whether Mo Yaohua was pregnant.

As a girl in the boudoir, Mo Yaohua had never thought about pregnancy and felt that what Lan Ruyu said made sense.

She immediately handed her hand to the doctor and described her symptoms, and began to suspect that there was something wrong with her spleen and stomach.

Mo Yaohua's pulse was very obvious, and the doctor soon diagnosed that she was more than a month pregnant and her poor appetite was due to morning sickness.

He said this quietly to Lan Ruyu. He had heard about the matter between Mo Yaohua and Chu Xuanhan and had some guesses in his mind.

Lan Ruyu gave him some money and asked him to keep his mouth shut and just say that he came to see her and never mention that Mo Yaohua was pregnant.

This action made the doctor even more certain that the child was probably Chu Xuanhan's, and he would probably use the child to gain status in the future.

After the doctor left, Lan Ruyu dismissed everyone and left only Mo Yaohua, and told her the real diagnosis.

Mo Yaohua's eyes suddenly widened. She didn't dare to believe it at all. She was so shocked that she couldn't speak clearly, "Are you...pregnant?"

Lan Ruyu smiled and said, "This is a good thing. Prince Qi doesn't even have concubines in his mansion. You are the eldest son."

Mo Yaohua reached out and touched her lower abdomen, "Then if I want to fight for a status now, will it be much easier?"

Lan Ruyu regained her composure and said, "Of course, but you can't make it public for now. Just tell your father and Prince Qi."

"Why?" Mo Yaohua pouted unhappily, "I was thinking of going to Yixiayuan first."

Lan Ruyu warned, "Are you afraid that she won't attack you? She may not believe you about the flower viewing banquet."

Mo Yaohua nodded repeatedly, "It's true that she can't know, but why do we have to hide it from even my grandmother?"

Lan Ruyu was extremely cautious. "None of the people in her hospital are ours. We can't guarantee that the information won't leak out."

Mo Yaohua then put away the idea of ​​showing off, "I'll let Jinqiu tell His Highness the good news, he will definitely be happy."

While the mother and daughter were still talking, the doctor had already left the house and was blocked after turning into an alley.
