Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Avoiding the Conception Soup

Translator: 549690339

This stewardess was a useful person in the former courtyard and had some authority in the Mansion of Prince Yu.

Huang Ying had a good memory and remembered her after seeing her once. She quickly went forward to greet her, smiling amiably, “Are you Mother Qian from the former courtyard? It’s hard for you to come so early. If there’s anything, just send someone to pass a message.”

Huang Ying wasn’t deliberately trying to curry favor, but rather she understood the art of survival.

Although they were the Main Consort of the Mansion, they had just arrived. The saying goes that strong dragons don’t suppress the local snakes, and it is better to be on good terms with the bigger devils than face the endless troubles of the little ones.

It’s not necessary to offend these people.

Huang Ying had been in the palace for so many years, and she was still quite adept at dealing with such matters.

Facing a smiling face, Mother Qian couldn’t put on a straight face either and said half-jokingly, “We are servants; it is natural for us to serve our Master. Where dare we complain about being tired? Has the Princess Consort woke up?”

“Yes, she’s getting dressed.”

“That’s just right. Please ask the Princess Consort to drink this medicine first.”

“Medicine?” Huang Ying took it, somewhat at a loss, then looked back and asked Chunlai, “Is the Princess Consort feeling unwell?”

Chunlai knew that Jiang Ning had been feeling unwell all this time, having trouble eating and sleeping.

But she had gotten much better lately.

Her appetite had improved a lot, and she didn’t feel nauseous anymore.

She shook her head, “The Princess Consort is doing pretty well.”

Huang Ying smiled, “Did Mother Qian make a mistake? Our Princess Consort is fine, she doesn’t need any medicine.”

“Oh, this is a fertility-avoiding soup.” Mother Qian said indifferently.

There was not even a hint of wanting to please the new Princess Consort.

No wonder the old woman had such an attitude, she didn’t even kowtow to the new Princess Consort.

So that was the reason.

But why should the Princess Consort drink the fertility-avoiding soup?

As a legitimate wife, who has been carried back to the mansion on a grand sedan chair, she had the right to sit on an equal footing with the Prince, manage all the people in the backyard, and bear children.

It was their first day of marriage, and even if there was no deep affection, they should at least be treated with respect.

And now they send her a bowl of fertility-avoiding soup?

This was too much.

Even Huang Ying felt that she couldn’t bear it, so her tone also changed for the worse, “Mother Qian, you’re an old person in the mansion, and I shouldn’t be saying this. But you should understand some rules. Who on their wedding day would send such a thing?”

Mother Qian calmly said, “We are just servants, following our Master’s orders. This is what His Highness asked the servant to bring, and this is what the servant brought. This is not a bad thing, it’s just that His Highness temporarily doesn’t want the Princess Consort to become pregnant. Princess Consort, it’s better to drink it.”

She seemed determined to watch Jiang Ning drink it all up.

Seeing this, Chunlai was furious and wanted to grab the bowl and splash it on her face.

Jiang Ning, who had already dressed, came out pushing her wheelchair, glanced at the medicine, and asked with a smile, “Is this the fertility-avoiding soup your Prince asked you to bring?”

“Yes.”

“What if I don’t drink it?”

“Oh, if the Princess Consort doesn’t drink it, the servant wouldn’t dare to force her. But the Princess Consort should show some sympathy for us servants. After all, this is our Prince’s order.”

“You’re using your Prince to pressure me?” Jiang Ning shook her head, “I won’t drink it.”

This was a fertility-avoiding soup and, even though she didn’t know how it worked, it certainly wouldn’t be good for the child in her belly.

If she took the medicine and lost the child, how could she make Li Hongyuan wear a cuckold’s hat and raise someone else’s son?

Before getting married, she was determined to abort the child.

But now that she was married and had already passed three months, she didn’t want to do it anymore.

This damned Prince of Yu was indeed as she had expected: extremely selfish and self-centered.

He had the audacity to send an old woman to bring her a fertility-avoiding soup to make her drink it under his supervision.

What did that mean?

After all, she was the Main Consort of this mansion, not some random creature that could be easily castrated!
