Another person echoed in a low voice, "King Fushan is already fifty-eight years old this year, probably older than her father. It is really admirable that this girl is determined to rise to prominence."

The word "admiration" in this statement obviously does not have the original meaning of praise, but is an obvious sarcasm.

Ruan Yuluan sat at the table listening to these sarcastic remarks. It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel uncomfortable, but she had heard a lot of them in the past two years and perhaps she had become accustomed to them.

She sat numbly at the table until the meal started. She was originally planning to just eat a few bites and then leave, saying she was "not feeling well."

Anyway, the princess asked her to attend, it was just a formality. If she wasn't there, the princess wouldn't be upset.

But what I didn't expect was that the woman stretched out her fingertips, scooped up a spoonful of fish soup, took a small sip, and then suddenly frowned.

She felt a nauseous feeling in her heart and her face turned even paler. She quickly took a handkerchief and vomited into it.

This action was not very eye-catching, but it attracted the keen attention of Princess Fushan.

"What happened to Concubine?"

Ruan Yuluan wiped the corners of her lips with a clean towel. She was actually a little confused. She said in a low voice, "Maybe I have a poor appetite recently. I don't feel comfortable eating anything."

The woman had given birth to children. After hearing this, she glanced at her pale face, frowned silently, and spoke in a cold tone.

"Yunzhi, take the concubine down to rest, and ask a doctor to come in and take a look."

Yunzhi, the maid beside her, understood, nodded slightly, turned around, walked towards the girl, and helped her out through the side door.

Yunzhi took her and slowly sat down on a couch in a tea room, and quickly called a doctor.

Ruan Yuluan stretched out her fingertips and let the doctor put a thin handkerchief on her wrist and examined her pulse. The doctor stood up and congratulated her.

"Congratulations to this lady...she is pregnant."

Upon hearing this, the people present had different expressions.

The woman withdrew her fingertips and gently stroked her belly, which had no discernible shape yet, with a hesitant tone.

“…Are you serious?”

She never thought that she would have a child.

But when she thought that this child was the blood of King Fushan, she couldn't help but feel cold in her heart.

The doctor stroked his beard and nodded: "I am quite famous in the capital. I have checked the pulses of thousands of women. This is a pregnant pulse, there is no doubt about it."

Ruan Yuluan was so upset for a moment that she didn't notice Yunzhi's cold expression.

Yunzhi congratulated her and personally sent the doctor out. When she came back, she held a bowl of strong-smelling medicine in her fingertips.

"The doctor has told me that you are still in the first trimester and the fetus is unstable. You need to take the medicine to maintain the pregnancy every day."

Yunzhi said as she fed her a mouthful herself. Yuluan was not used to being so close to someone she was not familiar with. She was about to say that she would do it herself, but she saw Yunzhi holding up the bowl and smiling perfunctorily: "The concubine is very precious now, so naturally we have to serve her, so as to avoid any mistakes... and the blame from the prince and princess."

This made sense, so she didn't force it. After drinking a bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine, it felt like hypnosis, and she couldn't help but close her eyes gently.

Yunzhi explained, "It's normal for women to feel tired during pregnancy. You might as well take a rest for a while." After saying that, she tucked in the quilt for her and got up to go out.

Ruan Yuluan keenly sensed that something was wrong, but she didn't know where.

When she slowly woke up from her sleep, she found that it was still daylight, and she probably had not slept for long.

There was no one around and she no longer felt sleepy, so she stood up and went out.

The banquet seemed to have not yet ended. When the girl passed by the corridor, she vaguely heard the sound of laughter and noise coming from the garden.

She was too lazy to see anyone, so she walked towards a secluded place. Unexpectedly, when she passed the door of a teahouse, she suddenly heard her own name.

Inside the house, it was Ruan Yuxi's voice, with a slightly cold and lazy tone, "...If you say that my fifth sister is unlucky, then she is also unlucky."
