The Return of An Lingrong in Legend of Zhen Huan

That afternoon, the news that An Lingrong was pregnant and became Consort Rou spread throughout the harem. Xia Dongchun was the first to rush to An Lingrong's place.

"Sister An, I heard that you are pregnant. Let me take a look." Xia Dongchun stared at An Lingrong's belly as soon as he came in.

An Lingrong was so annoyed that she said, "Well, it's only been a month, what can you tell?"

Xia Dongchun gently tapped An Lingrong's belly with her finger, raised her head and asked, "Is there really someone in your belly?"

……

An Lingrong was speechless. It was the first time she heard someone describe pregnancy like this. Do you think she was right? It sounds weird. Do you think she was wrong? This is indeed a person.

An Lingrong pondered for a moment and nodded, then saw Xia Dongchun looking at An Lingrong with surprise and admiration.

Then she said to An Lingrong's belly: "The child inside, when will you come out? When you come out, I, your godmother, will definitely give you a big red envelope."

……

Did she ask Xia Dongchun to be the godmother of her child? This person is really rude.

Xia Dongchun stayed for a long time, asking An Lingrong all kinds of questions, such as whether the baby is a boy or a girl, how many babies are you pregnant with, what to do when you get your period after becoming pregnant, etc.

An Lingrong was a little skeptical. Did the Xia family not teach her anything? Did they just want her to grow up happily?

Only after the gifts from various palaces arrived did Xia Dongchun reluctantly put down the gifts and leave. After finally sending the giant baby away, An Lingrong looked forward to seeing what rewards everyone had given her.

What the Queen sent was a string of Buddhist beads that were said to have been blessed. An Lingrong gave it to Bao He to smell it. Bao He shook his head and said, "Alas, it really releases musk."

Concubine Duan brought a white jade peace locket, Concubine Hua brought a jade ruyi, Concubine Qi brought a pure silver necklace, Concubine Li brought a gilt peace locket, Concubine Jing brought a pair of jade rings, Noble Lady Cao brought some rouge that can be used during pregnancy, Concubine Xin brought some soft cloth, Noble Lady Shen and Concubine Wan brought some poetry and books and some jewelry respectively, Chun'er undoubtedly brought some health-preserving pastries, Concubine Xia and Noble Lady Fucha brought some rare supplements, Princess Chaogui brought a fertility-granting Guanyin, Noble Lady Borjigit, who believed in Buddhism, gave An Lingrong a blessed Buddhist rosary, and Concubine Yan brought a pair of jade dragon and phoenix pendants.

Let's just say that, except for the Queen's, the others are very safe and have no musk.

An Lingrong asked the palace servants to register the gifts and put them into the warehouse. Just after they were put away, Concubine Cao came holding Princess Wen Yi and Princess Chao Gui.

"It's strange that you two came together." An Lingrong stood up and joked with a smile.

"We happened to meet Princess Chaogui on the way, so we came together."

"Wen Yi, little Wen Yi, you're going to be a big sister. Are you happy?" Wen Yi smiled when she saw An Lingrong as soon as she came in. An Lingrong happily teased little Wen Yi.

Afterwards, Concubine Cao explained to An Lingrong some precautions during pregnancy, and even brought some sour apricots, saying, "When I was pregnant with Wen Yi, my mouth felt bitter, and this was the best thing to eat."

An Lingrong knew that in most people's impression, women are characterized by sour boys and spicy girls. In order to give birth to her child safely, An Lingrong decided to use the image of a sour boy and a spicy girl to confuse everyone when she confirmed her pregnancy.

So I said, "Thank you, Sister Cao, but I'm afraid I can't eat these. These past few days, I've been particularly fond of Sichuan cuisine, but I always feel that it's not spicy enough. On the contrary, these sour foods make my teeth feel sour and I really can't eat them."

"Sour boy, spicy girl, could it be that Sister An is pregnant with a girl?" Princess Chao Gui asked curiously.

"It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl. I hope it's a little princess, as well-behaved and sensible as Wen Yi, so that the two sisters can be companions." Hearing someone praising her daughter, Concubine Cao was naturally very happy and nodded in response: "Yes, it doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl. A girl is also good, a caring little cotton-padded jacket."

After a few people chatted for a while, Noble Lady Fucha and Concubine Chun also came. The Yanx Palace was crowded with people throughout the day, and they only dispersed when the cards were about to be turned over.

An Lingrong stood up and stretched her body, and couldn't help thinking: Shen Meiyu and Zhen Huan didn't come today, so they will probably come tomorrow. After all, I have a good relationship with them now, and I will not miss them even if I am pregnant.

When she thought about the fact that someone would come to congratulate her tomorrow, she quickly went to bed. After all, after confirming her pregnancy, An Lingrong always felt that she had not gotten enough sleep. It turned out that being pregnant was tiring.
