Rui Wangfei wanted to tell her that there was no need to be so nervous and that this pregnancy felt like nothing at all. However, as the words reached her lips, she thought of Ning Wangfei's three miscarriages and closed her mouth in the end.
She cooperated and pretended to be more cautious than usual, taking slower steps.
"Is pregnancy difficult?" On the way to the Kunning Palace, Ning Wangfei chatted with her about everyday matters.
Rui Wangfei's eyes flickered, "Um... It's difficult. I can't sleep at night, and my legs cramp."
These were what the wetnurse always asked her, but she actually had never experienced it herself.
If she had to mention something difficult, it would probably be having to run to the outhouse all the time.
And exactly right now, she was feeling a little bit like that.
"What's wrong?" Ning Wangfei asked, looking at Rui Wangfei's wrinkled face.
Rui Wangfei blushed and said, "I... I need to relieve myself."
Ning Wangfei replied, "There's a chamber nearby, I'll accompany you."
Rui Wangfei declined, "No, it's fine. I'll go by myself."
"I don't feel at ease letting you go alone." Ning Wangfei insisted on escorting Rui Wangfei to the vicinity of the chamber, and Rui Wangfei had no choice.
When the two of them arrived outside the chamber, they never expected to run into the Crown Princess coming out from inside.
All three of them froze for a moment.
The Crown Princess held a higher status compared to the other imperial daughter-in-laws, but she still politely called Ning Wangfei "sister-in-law."
Rui Wangfei rolled her eyes.
She didn't like Wen Linlang and couldn't be bothered with formalities.
Especially after she caught Wen Linlang entangled with another man the last time, her dislike for her just grew stronger.
It was well-known that Ning Wang and the Crown Prince didn't get along, and Ning Wangfei obviously kept her distance from the Crown Princess as well, but they still maintained a facade.
She exchanged a slight nod with the Crown Princess as a greeting.
The Crown Princess said, "I have some matters to attend to. Goodbye, eldest sister-in-law, third sister-in-law."
Ning Wangfei replied, "Goodbye."
Rui Wangfei responded with an eye roll.
After the Crown Princess left, Ning Wangfei said to Rui Wangfei, "Alright, you can go now."
"Okay." Rui Wangfei went to the chamber.
Pregnancy had this inconvenience of needing to use the latrine frequently. After coming out of the chamber, Rui Wangfei had a servant help her wash her hands and apply hand cream. Then she followed Ning Wangfei to Empress Xiao's Kunning Palace.
They were not the Empress's direct daughters-in-law, so they exchanged formalities and pleasantries very politely and formally before leaving Kunning Palace.
Afterwards, the two of them went to Imperial Consort Zhuang's Yongshou Palace. This time, they stayed there for a while longer. Imperial Consort Zhuang had some expectations for the unborn child in Rui Wangfei's belly, as it was from her own people.
Rui Wang and Wangfei received favor while Ning Wang was also given additional support.
"You must give birth to a son." Imperial Consort Zhuang held Rui Wangfei's hand and said.
Rui Wangfei smiled wryly, "That's not for this daughter-in-law to decide, Your Highness."
Imperial Consort Zhuang thought for a moment and asked, "Do you prefer sour foods or spicy foods?"
Rui Wangfei honestly replied, "This daughter-in-law likes both. Sometimes I crave spicy, sometimes sour, and sometimes sweet."
Ning Wangfei's expression seemed a bit absent-minded.
Imperial Consort Zhuang considered her own daughter-in-law's mood and didn't mention the topic of children any further. She called for a trusted palace maid and instructed, "Go and ask where Ning Wang and Rui Wang are. If they are in the palace, have them come to the Yongshou Palace for a meal, and invite Imperial Concubine Yu as well."
Imperial Concubine Yu was the imperial concubine mother of the Third Prince.
After the princes were assigned separate residences outside the palace, they were no longer as free to come and go from the imperial palace as before. However, with Imperial Consort Zhuang's status, it was not difficult for her to see her son.
Before long, Ning Wang and Rui Wang arrived from the imperial audience hall.
"Your Highness." Ning Wangfei bowed to Ning Wang.
Ning Wang hurried over, supported her, and gently held her hand. His eyes were filled with tenderness as he spoke, "You don't need to be so restrained here with imperial consort mother; it's the same as being in the prince’s residence.”
Ning Wangfei smiled and replied, "Yes."
Imperial Concubine Yu also arrived quickly, and Imperial Consort Zhuang hurriedly had the palace servants prepare the meal.
Imperial Consort Zhuang sat together with Imperial Concubine Yu, while the two couples sat on either side of them.
Ning Wang and his wife displayed graceful and elegant manners, showing mutual respect to each other.
Rui Wang and his wife maintained a serious demeanor on the surface. But privately, Rui Wang brushed his leg against his wife's leg.
Rui Wangfei glared at him meaningfully, just eat your food!
Rui Wang casually peeled a shrimp for his wife and placed it in Rui Wangfei's bowl. Only then did he realize that everyone's gaze had fallen upon him.
His heart skipped a beat. He had almost forgotten that they were in the imperial palace, not in their own residence, and they had to abide by the palace rules and etiquettes.
The couple couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.
Ning Wang smiled warmly and said, "The shrimp in the palace is well-prepared." He also peeled a shrimp for Ning Wangfei and said, "Suxin, give it a try."
Suxin was the courtesy name Ning Wang gave to Ning Wangfei after their wedding.
Ning Wangfei smiled tenderly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
……
After finishing their lunch, Imperial Consort Zhuang went to rest for the afternoon. The group of four left the Yongshou Palace while Imperial Concubine Yu returned to her own place.
Four people walked outside the palace together.
"Be careful." As they passed under a large tree, Ning Wang used his hand to shield Ning Wangfei's head.
When he removed his hand, they noticed a worm on the back of his hand.
Rui Wangfei couldn't name the tree, but she often saw worms hanging from its branches, spinning silk threads.
There was a worm right in front of her, and if Ning Wang hadn't called out, she would have walked right into it.
Rui Wangfei exclaimed, "Eldest brother-in-law is so thoughtful!"
Rui Wang muttered, "I'm thoughtful too!"
Rui Wangfei sighed and said, "Oh, then why didn't your highness notice the worm in front of me?"
Rui Wang scratched his head, "Well, I was..."
"You were what?" Rui Wangfei looked at him questioningly.
"I was just about to get rid of it for you!" Rui Wang firmly denied that he hadn't noticed such a small thing!
Rui Wangfei snorted, "You just don't have the thoughtfulness of eldest brother-in-law!"
This was something Rui Wang couldn't refute. His eldest brother was the most considerate among all the imperial princes. He was considerate towards his sister-in-laws and towards his younger brothers. Even in his treatment to the Crown Prince, his sworn enemy, one couldn't find any faults.
Pregnant women's emotions sometimes came inexplicably. One moment, Rui Wangfei was arguing with Rui Wang, and the next moment, she became melancholic, "You know... if we can't keep this child... will you still be as good to me as eldest brother-in-law is to sister-in-law?"
Rui Wang glared at her and said, "Why are you saying such nonsense? Why would we not be able to keep the child? Don't jinx it! My son will be fine!"
Rui Wangfei sighed, "I'm just hypothetically speaking. I just feel that eldest brother-in-law is really good to sister-in-law."
Rui Wang couldn't refute her on that.
Ning Wang and Ning Wangfei had known each other since they were young. They weren't childhood sweethearts, but their marriage wasn't a blind arrangement either.
After getting married, the two of them had a harmonious relationship. The only regret was Ning Wangfei's inability to conceive. Fortunately, Ning Wang never neglected her because of it, and he always spoke well of her in front of Imperial Consort Zhuang.
Imperial Consort Zhuang wasn't an easy person to get along with, and the credit for the harmonious relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law belonged in large part to Ning Wang.
He was a man who would never mistreat his wife.
Rui Wangfei held onto the hem of Rui Wang's clothes and said coquettishly, "Promise me, you'll treat me as well as eldest brother-in-law treats sister-in-law, for the rest of our lives."Raz P.'s Thoughts
