The Salted Fish Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

41-45

Chapter 41

Since she knew that Li Fujin was pregnant, Geng Qingning didn't feel much. She was even busier. She was so busy playing mahjong, nail painting, pot throwing and other games that she couldn't be distracted.

It's just that the atmosphere in Lanyuan is a little weird. When she is happy, everyone around her smiles. If she frowns or sighs, everyone in the room is very careful, almost treating her like a fragile doll.

Even Nanny Chen came more often. She often talked to her, which was quite stressful.

In fact, Nanny Chen wanted to comfort her. After all, the Fourth Prince handed Lanyuan to her before he left. No matter what, Master Geng must not get into trouble during this period.

But it is strange that the Fourth Prince only went there once, and Li Fujin had good news, but Lanyuan and Zhengyuan, which had been there more often, have not had any news so far.

This can only be said to be everyone's luck.

A few days later, Nanny Chen took the initiative to participate in the card game in Lanyuan. When Geng Qingning was happy to win, she said carefully, "You are still young, but your fate has not arrived yet. When the master comes back, you can also give birth to your own little prince and princess."

Geng Qingning suddenly realized why these people were so weird recently. It turned out that they were all worried that she would be worried about the child.

Will it be completely fine? She is still a child herself!

Even the new dress she made last month is a little smaller than before, and the length is half an inch shorter, which means she is still growing and still in the development stage. How could she want to have a child?

Moreover, with the living environment and medical and sanitary conditions of the Qing Dynasty, having a child is like crossing the gates of hell. If you are not careful, you will lose two lives. Is life not important?

Of course, in order to lie down happily in the second half of her life, it is not impossible to have a child in the future, but definitely not now.

It is also luck that the fourth prince is on a business trip. If it is the frequency before, pregnancy is only a matter of time.

But as the concubine of the Fourth Prince, she must have certain professional qualities. Geng Qingning dropped the mahjong in her hand, covered her chest and said sadly, "It's all because I'm unlucky. It's just like this, I have to accept my fate."

As she said this, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief to wipe away the non-existent tears.

Seeing her like this, everyone rushed over to persuade her, but she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart. It's okay to cry, and everything will be fine after crying.

Geng Qingning had a better time in the next few days. Everyone stopped talking about the children and just picked some fun things to spend time with her. Nanny Chen not only came for several days in a row, but also brought a set of mahjong made of agate.

It was said that it was given by the Fourth Prince before. Although it is not a good material, it is the best for making mahjong tiles.

In the hot summer, in the cool room, the mahjong made of red agate, and a bunch of people coaxing her to be happy, may I ask, is the Fourth Prince important? Is the child important?

But there are still very few people in the backyard who think like Geng Qingning. Li Fujin regards this baby more than anything else. In the past, he would reach out for things from the Lanyuan, but now he is extremely cautious. He specifically asked Fujin for a stove, and the food and drink expenses were not mixed with those from the other courtyards.
