Chapter 1202: Visiting the Primary Consort

Ning Shu put it very plainly. “It’s not a normal time, so Lady, you should be more careful. You should be more cautious with your words and actions.”
“Are you lecturing me?” Lady Song glanced at Ning Shu, then placed her hand on Hong Mei’s and slowly got up.
Ning Shu hastily curtsied and said, “This servant wouldn’t dare to lecture you, Lady.”
Lady Song smoothed down her sideburn and said lightly, “But you’re right. I should be more cautious in my actions.”
Ning Shu was a little surprised, then she took out a perfume sachet and said to Lady Song, “Lady, this is a perfume sachet I made. It contains orange peel and mint. When you feel dizzy or uncomfortable, you can take it out and inhale the scent. It’ll help soothe your discomfort.”
Lady Song nodded, then shot a look at Hong Mei. Hong Mei immediately went to accept the sachet.
“Come with me to visit the primary consort,” said Lady Song to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu immediately curtsied.
So then, Lady Song took Hong Mei and Ning Shu with her along with several other maids to head to Lady Ula Nara’s courtyard.
Ning Shu saw Lady Song supporting her waist in a very exaggerated manner. The pregnancy wasn’t even visible yet, so what was she supporting her waist like that for?
Ning Shu had a bad feeling about this. Lady Song didn’t look like she was going there to pay her respects, she looked like she was going there to show off.
“Miao Ling, stop trying to fawn upon Master! Are you trying to become her personal servant?” Ning Shu was in the middle of thinking about something when Hong Mei walked over and fiercely whispered this in her ear. The words were forced out between gritted teeth.
Hong Mei was clearly angry with Ning Shu for trying to gain favor with Lady Song. She felt that this behavior was an act of challenging her position.
Ning Shu didn’t speak and just put on a scared expression. Hong Mei curled her lips in disdain, satisfied with Ning Shu’s attitude. She then hastily went up to take Lady Song’s hand and said, “Lady, rest your hand on this servant’s arm.”
When they arrived at Lady Ula Nara’s courtyard, all the other ladies had already arrived. Lady Song smiled happily as she walked in while supporting her waist.
Lady Song hadn’t come to pay respects ever since she got pregnant, so her sudden arrival surprised everyone.
“This concubine pays her respects to Madame.” Lady Song said that she was going to pay her respects, but she didn’t curtsy. Lady Ula Nara said, “There’s no need to be so polite, go have a seat.”
Lady Ula Nara had her maid go cushion Lady Song’s chair and Lady Song sat down happily.
Lady Ula Nara asked Lady Song about her health. During the entire conversation, Lady Song kept stroking her stomach in a pained and also happy manner.
It caused the facial colors of the other women to worsen.
Ning Shu had her head lowered while she observed the surroundings out of the corners of her eyes. When she saw Lady Song’s smug expression, she felt seriously speechless. She then continued to observe the surrounding women.
Lady Ula Nara had been smiling this entire time so it wasn’t very obvious whether or not she was angry. Speaking of which, Lady Ula Nara wasn’t very old. At most, she looked only seventeen years old, but she was mature, had a steady temperament, and was generous.
It was obvious with a glance that she was a great choice for the position of main wife.
Ula Nara was a big surname of Manchuria, and Lady Ula Nara’s family had very prominent status. The fact that Master Kang had engaged such a woman to Yinzhen showed that he cared about Yinzhen quite a lot.
Lady Ula Nara had been able to stay so calm in the face of a concubine’s provocation, so it really showed that she was skilled at enduring.
Ning Shu was starting to regret asking Lady Song to come pay her respects. With this kind of attitude, it was better for her to not come here at all.
In reality, Ning Shu could understand Lady Song’s current way of thinking. She usually wasn’t favored at all. Although she was Yinzhen’s first woman, she barely had a sense of existence among all these ladies.
Now that she was pregnant with Yinzhen’s first child, she couldn’t help but feel smug and enjoy this attention.
Haa. Ning Shu sighed. No matter what, her top priority was guaranteeing her own life.
She had no speaking rights in front of Lady Song.
“Lady Song, you have pretty good maids. It’s reassuring that they’re there to take care of you,” said Lady Ula Nara to Lady Song.
Suspicion flashed across Lady Song’s face as she asked, “Madame, which maid are you talking about?”
Lady Ula Nara looked towards Ning Shu with a smile on her face. “Just the girl who comes here everyday to pay respects on your behalf. It’s obvious with a glance that she’s an earnest one.”
Ning Shu had a bad premonition. Why did she suddenly get brought up? This usually resulted in nothing good.
