In the afternoon, Concubine Rong brought several concubines to Shangyun Palace and brought many supplements, saying that they came to visit Ao Rong.

Ao Rong followed Concubine Chun and responded to several people with a smile.

Xiao Ruge couldn't help but sigh inwardly after seeing this. After staying in this palace for a long time, even if the enemy was sitting opposite her, she could put on a mask and chat and laugh without blushing or getting nervous.

"It's not easy for a woman to get pregnant. We've all been through that. The Third Prince's wife must be careful and make sure nothing goes wrong!"

Concubine Rong was like a kind elder, holding Ao Rong's hand and giving her earnest instructions.

Ao Rong smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your concern, Concubine Rong. Mother has already told me everything I should be careful of, I will be careful. This is the mung bean cake made by the kitchen, ladies, please try it!"

While pushing the mung bean cake, Ao Rong pulled her hand out of Rong Fei's hand, took a piece of mung bean cake and ate it slowly.

Concubine Rong did not touch the mung bean cake. She just looked at Ao Rong's belly with a smile and glanced at Concubine Yue beside her.

"It's only been a month, and you're not showing any signs of pregnancy yet, but you don't seem to have any morning sickness symptoms, just like when Concubine Yue was pregnant with the Ninth Princess. Unlike me, when I was pregnant with Bai'er, I vomited so much that I couldn't eat anything!"

This statement seemed to imply that Ao Rong was pregnant with a girl. Xiao Ruge raised her eyebrows when she heard it.

It was unknown whether Yuepin didn't hear it or was really heartless. She smiled and replied, "Yes, that's right. When I was pregnant with the Ninth Princess, I could eat and sleep well. I was always lazy. What symptoms does the Third Prince's wife have now?"

Concubine Chun at the side reached out and held Ao Rong's hand, smiling as she looked at the people at the table, "Rong'er's morning sickness isn't obvious right now, and the symptoms aren't very noticeable, but no matter whether this baby is a boy or a girl, it's the eldest grandson of the royal family."

"Besides, the couple is still young. Even if the first child is a daughter, it doesn't matter. They can have another one in the future. There is still a long time to live!"

Hearing this, Concubine Rong looked unhappy. She remembered that when Mu Bo came to the palace today, she advised him to let the concubine give birth to a child as soon as possible, but Mu Bo did not agree.

In fact, as the eldest son of the prince, it would be best for him to be born in the womb of the queen.

But Mu Bo now only has a concubine and no principal wife, so Rong Fei has to place her hopes on the concubine.

But even with this wish, Mu Bo didn't seem to care much about it.

Thinking of her son, Concubine Rong couldn't help but sigh.

Many families of girls who were equally suitable for him were chosen, but he just didn't like any of them. No one knew what he was thinking.

Seeing Concubine Chun's boastful look, Concubine Rong became more and more upset. She glanced at Xiao Ruge who was standing silently beside her and snorted in her heart.

"I didn't expect that Miss Xiao Er would be so close to the Third Prince's wife."

As soon as she was mentioned, Xiao Ruge immediately put on a proper smile, "Third sister-in-law is kind-hearted and takes great care of me."

"Third sister-in-law? Where did this title come from?"

Yuepin stared at Xiao Ruge with a look of disdain in her eyes, and said with a silly smile: "Although General Xiao has made great contributions, you can't shamelessly use this to get involved in the royal family!"

"I felt very close to Ruge the moment I saw her, and I recognized her as my goddaughter in private. It has nothing to do with the royal family, Concubine Yue, what you said is too harsh."

Concubine Chun spoke up to come to the rescue and glared at Concubine Yue who was outspoken.

Rong Fei chuckled after hearing this, "Those who know that Sister Chun Fei likes Xiao Ruge, those who don't know would think that Xiao Ruge wants to climb up the social ladder!"

"Sister Chunfei and the Third Prince's wife are so kind to you, you must not be ungrateful. Don't let the last sentence 'Third sister-in-law' turn into 'sister', that would make people laugh!"

Her last sentence was directed to Xiao Ruge, implying that she was a wolf in sheep's clothing, claiming to have a deep affection for Ao Rong, but actually wanted to climb into Mu Huan's bed.

Ao Rong's face turned a little unhappy when she heard this. She knew that Xiao Ruge was not that kind of person. Even if she was angry, she was only angry at Concubine Rong for making malicious assumptions about others.

But Xiao Ruge didn't know what Ao Rong was thinking. When she saw her face darken, she immediately smiled and said, "No, even though I have a good relationship with my third sister-in-law, the seniority is still here. I still hope that my third sister-in-law can help me find a son-in-law, so that I can find a home soon!"

Everyone at the table widened their eyes when they heard her words, and Yuepin was the first one who couldn't help but speak.

"A son-in-law? Miss Xiao Er means that she is not planning to marry, but to find a son-in-law?"

"Yes, this is my grandfather's last wish. As his granddaughter, I will do my best to fulfill his wish!"

Concubine Chun and Ao Rong were moved after hearing this, and they thought that Xiao Ruge said this to avoid misunderstanding.

After all, as a prince, it is impossible for him to be someone else's son-in-law.

But everyone here is a person of noble status, and there is no reason to take back what has been said. It is not easy to find a son-in-law. Concubine Chun feels that Xiao Ruge has made too great a sacrifice for her son's family.

Ao Rong's idea was similar to Concubine Chun's. Only Concubine Rong and the others opposite were still in shock, thinking that Xiao Ruge's idea was a bit unorthodox.

It could be seen that Xiao Ruge looked calm and did not seem to be joking, and no one was able to speak.

Concubine Rong and her people sat here for a while pretending to be together, then got up and left.

As soon as the others left, Ao Rong held Xiao Ruge's hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, and she choked up and said, "Ruge, it's all my fault. I made you suffer. You..."

"Third sister-in-law, there is no need to be like this. What I just said is true. Besides, there is nothing wrong with finding a son-in-law. I am used to being strong. Finding someone who obeys me in everything is more comfortable than marrying someone!"

Xiao Ruge smiled and patted the back of Ao Rong's hand. After persuading her, she checked the things that Rong Fei and others brought.

They were all good nourishing things, and nothing had been done with them. Concubine Chun asked Xia He to put the things in the warehouse and prepare to cook them for Ao Rong later.

Normally, the palace should have been preparing for the Autumn Hunt at this time every year, but because something happened to Mu Huan, the Autumn Hunt was delayed.

On the seventh day after Mu Gu and his men left, Ao Rong finally had the pregnancy reaction because she was worried about Mu Huan. She couldn't eat the whole day. Just like Concubine Rong said, she vomited everything she ate.

The imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau came to see the patient, but he didn't have any good ideas and could only prescribe some medicine for treatment.

But as soon as she took a sip of the bitter medicine, Ao Rong vomited violently again, which made Concubine Chun very anxious.

Even the emperor was alarmed and came to see her twice. In just a few days, Ao Rong had lost a lot of weight.

The two maids left behind by Madam Ao tried their best to get Ao Rong to eat something, but after working for a long time, Ao Rong was still full before she could even finish half a bowl of porridge. If she drank any more, she would vomit until she fainted.

Xiao Ruge carefully checked the side hall where the two people lived, and after making sure that it was not caused by external factors, she began to give acupuncture to Ao Rong.
