Chapter 108 Persian Cat
Looking at the peony in the Queen's hand, Concubine Hua smiled and said, "This peony is blooming beautifully, but pink is ultimately a secondary color, not worthy of being displayed in a formal hall." After saying this, she turned around and plucked a peony, her face full of arrogance. "It's not as good as this peony. Although it's not the king of flowers, its bright red is eye-catching. This is the true color of elegance. Pink is only used by concubines, and only bright red and bright red are used by the main wife. In fact, as long as you are young, why should you care about the color of the flower you wear?"
The Queen looked embarrassed holding the peony in her hand. It was not right for her to throw the flower away, nor was it right not to throw it away. Moreover, Concubine Hua used the flower to mock her for being old and ugly!
Concubine Xin was filled with indignation, "This is such a reversal of status."
Zhen Huan's anger had not yet subsided. Upon hearing this, she stepped forward and said, "When I was young, I learned a poem, and I performed it in front of the Queen and all the sisters!"
The queen needed someone to rescue her, and when she saw her stand up, she agreed and said, "You read it!"
"The peony in front of the courtyard is wild and without character, the lotus in the pond is pure and unemotional. Only the peony is the true national beauty, and the capital is moved when the flowers bloom." After reading it, he bowed to the queen.
The Queen's eyes grew more and more joyful as she slowly walked towards Zhen Huan, praising her, "It's true that only the peony is truly the most beautiful flower in the world. The essence of respect and inferiority lies in the human heart. No matter how red a peony flower is, it is still enchanting and lacks class. It can never compare to the peony's national beauty and fragrance. Concubine Hua, today we are enjoying the flowers, why do you seem unhappy? Why ruin the mood with your own worries?"
Concubine Hua stood aside with a sullen face. Cao Qinmo thought to herself that this was not good. She was afraid that she would be scolded when she returned home today!
Seeing that the excitement here had ended, An Lingrong pulled Shen Meizhuang and said, "Caiyue Suye, I'm tired. Please help me go to the corridor to have a cup of tea."
Su Ye and Cai Yue always listened to An Lingrong's words, so they helped Shen Meizhuang to rest.
Seeing Shen Meizhuang walking away from the crowd, An Lingrong finally felt relieved and went to look at the people on the field.
At this time, Fang Chunyi had returned and stood behind Noble Lady Fucha and said, "Sister, your makeup is ruined!"
Noble Lady Fucha took out some powder to touch up her makeup.
And Zhen Huan stood behind the Queen.
"It is indeed the perfume powder bestowed by the emperor himself. It smells so good!" Cao Qinmo's eyes flashed.
Seeing that she looked like she had never seen the world, Concubine Hua rolled her eyes.
As for the Persian cat, it had appeared behind the pillar opposite Noble Lady Fucha at some point, and its dark green eyes watched Noble Lady Fucha powdering herself.
An Lingrong quietly looked for a suitable position, which was neither too conspicuous nor too short to catch Noble Fucha and Zhen Huan in time.
An Lingrong thought about whether to save Fucha Guiren's child for half the night. In the end, she really couldn't bear to see a child lose his life like this. What's more, the grudges between adults should not involve an unborn child.
The Persian cat suddenly became alert, its body slightly bent, its back arched high, its four paws tightly grasping the ground, revealing sharp nails, like a fully drawn bowstring.
Suddenly, it jumped up and rushed straight towards Noble Lady Fucha.
At the critical moment, Zhen Huan pounced on Noble Lady Fucha. Noble Lady Fucha lost her balance and the two fell backwards face to face.
An Lingrong seized the opportunity and took two quick steps forward. She wanted to hug Noble Lady Fucha, but she walked too fast and lost her balance, so she knelt heavily on the ground. She immediately took two steps on her knees and changed from hugging to supporting her, using her head to firmly support Noble Lady Fucha's waist. With the support, Zhen Huan was able to stand.
After scratching Zhen Huan's clothes on her back, the Persian cat hid in the flowers.
This sudden change shocked everyone present.
The Queen, Concubine Qi, Noble Lady Xin, Noble Lady Cao and others hurried to see Noble Lady Fucha, while Concubine Jing and Zhen Huan, who had regained her footing, helped An Lingrong up. Shen Meizhuang, who was resting in the corridor, also hurried over.
"Sister, I'm fine!" Seeing Shen Meizhuang's anxious face, An Lingrong ignored the pain in her feet and comforted her first.
"Sister Zhen, how are you?" An Lingrong asked, holding Zhen Huan's hand again.
"I'm fine, how about your foot?" Zhen Huan quickly bent down to check.
The Queen made a prompt decision and arranged Noble Lady Fucha to stay in a side hall of Jingren Palace, and asked someone to invite Zhang Mi, the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Service.
After a while, the Queen Mother also hurried over!
While Zhang Mi was taking her pulse, the Queen Mother had already learned the whole story.
Zhang Mi carefully felt the pulse and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Fucha is fine. She just had a miscarriage. She will be fine after taking some medicine to stabilize the pregnancy."
The Queen Mother heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
The Queen suppressed her disappointment and said to Zhang Mi, "Imperial Physician, go and see Concubine Wen!"
"Let Sister Zhen take a look first!" An Lingrong tried hard to endure the pain and not cry out, "Sister is frightened."
The Queen Mother nodded.
After taking the pulse, Zhang Mi's face showed joy, "Congratulations, my lady, you are nearly two months pregnant."
Zhen Huan was surprised and happy, and stood up subconsciously. Jin Xi hurriedly supported her.
Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong looked at each other and laughed heartily.
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother and the Empress hurried to Zhen Huan's side. Zhen Huan wanted to stand up and salute, but the Empress held her hand and said, "Hurry up and sit down, sit down. Doctor Zhang, is Concubine Wan really pregnant?"
The imperial physician, who had experienced both true and false pregnancies, was more cautious when taking the pulse and said with certainty, "Lady Wan is indeed pregnant, but she is weak and the fetus is a little unstable. I will prescribe a prescription for you to use first. If you rest and take care of it, you will be fine!"
The Queen's smile deepened. "Well, Doctor Zhang, thank you for your hard work!"
"Thank you for your care, Your Majesty. I am deeply grateful. Please ask the imperial physician to help Concubine Wen treat me." Zhen Huan was very happy, but she did not forget that there was An Lingrong who saved her and Noble Lady Fucha.
Concubine Hua said, "Lady Wan is so lucky!"
The Queen Mother's smile grew deeper, and she felt a little scared. "You were too careless, Concubine Wan. You didn't even know you were pregnant, and you rushed out to save someone. Luckily, you weren't injured. If anything had gone wrong, this would have been a matter of life and death for the royal family!"
Zhen Huan honestly admitted her fault, "It's my fault."
"The people around you are so careless that they're so clueless about your pregnancy," the Queen said sternly. "If anything goes wrong today, I'll send them all to serve in the Ministry of Punishment."
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Don't worry about their affairs. It was my own negligence. I felt lazy and thought it was spring fatigue."
Doctor Zhang finished taking the young master's pulse and reported, "The young master's pulse is fine, he just hurt his knee. He needs to take good care of himself and try to move around less!"
Shen Meizhuang felt relieved and said, "Thank you, doctor."
The Queen Mother came up to An Lingrong and said, "You saved Noble Lady Fucha and Noble Lady Wan today. Well done! I will reward you handsomely!"
An Lingrong quickly stood up and tried to bow, but the Queen Mother stopped her, "I dare not. I am the closest to them, so naturally I must help!"
After the Queen Mother left, everyone dispersed.
