Chapter 1206: A New Career
Since there was nothing specific that she needed to do, she was very idle. She had no choice but to find something to do herself like carrying over the water basin or tidying up the room.
This was the difference between being one of them versus not being one of them.
She used to be Lady Song’s servant, so if Lady Niohuru trusted her, then that would seriously show that Lady Niohuru’s brain had gotten fried.
Ning Shu was also pretty at ease staying in Lady Niohuru’s courtyard. As for this task, she could only take it one step at a time.
“Miao Ling, the lady is looking for you,” said a maid to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu tidied her clothes a little, then went to see Lady Niohuru.
At this time, Lady Niohuru was in the middle of washing up. She’d soon be going to pay her respects to the primary consort. When she saw Ning Shu, she said, “Miao Ling, come with me to visit the primary consort today.”
Ning Shu was a little surprised, then she curtsied and indicated her understanding.
She went with Lady Niohuru to the main courtyard. When Lady Ula Nara saw Ning Shu, she asked with a smile, “How are you doing at Lady Niohuru’s place?”
Ning Shu’s facial muscles spasmed, then she hastily curtsied and said, “Many thanks, Madame, for your concern.”
Young Lady Niohuru’s spirited eyes kept darting between Lady Niohuru and Ning Shu. She asked Lady Niohuru, “Big Sister really likes this girl?”
Lady Niohuru replied with a faint smile, “This girl really is quite likable, just as Madame said.”
Lady Ula Nara smiled without saying anything. Young Lady Niohuru kept scrutinizing Ning Shu with a sly and mischievous look.
Ning Shu just couldn’t make sense of it. She was just a maid. What were these people paying attention to her for?
Ning Shu snuck a glance at Lady Niohuru. Lady Niohuru was simply smiling without a word.
She suddenly had another bad premonition.
As these ladies chatted, Ning Shu did her best to reduce her sense of existence.
After that, Ning Shu followed Lady Niohuru back to the courtyard. Tong Yu, Lady Niohuru’s personal maid, said to Ning Shu, “From now on, clean the courtyard and the buildings. However, you’re not allowed to go inside the house.”
She couldn’t go inside the house? Ning Shu hastily curtsied, “This servant understands. Thank you, Big Sis Tong Yu.”
So Ning Shu started the career of sweeping the floor. She was told to only clean the courtyard and the corridors. She wasn’t allowed inside, which showed that she wasn’t trusted.
However, Lady Niohuru always acted like she trusted her a lot in front of Lady Ula Nara and the other ladies.
It was seriously confusing.
Ning Shu kept an eye on Lady Song’s situation. Her morning sickness was becoming more and more severe. She vomited so much that she couldn’t stomach anything and so her health was extremely poor.
Morning sickness was a normal phenomenon of pregnancy, taking medicine wouldn’t help. The kitchen had already tried their best to make appetizing foods, but Lady Song just couldn’t stomach them.
Whenever Lady Song didn’t feel well, she’d send someone to get Yinzhen. Unlike Ning Shu, these people didn’t report everything to Lady Ula Nara first and just directly went to go invite Yinzhen.
How many times could he be invited a day? Definitely at least three times for the morning, noon, and evening meals. Yinzhen was also seriously irritated, but Lady Song used the child as an excuse every single time.
It made it so that Yinzhen had no choice but to go to visit Lady Song. If he didn’t go, he would be called heartless. Besides, this was his first child. Yinzhen couldn’t help but look forward to it.
Yinzhen truly had few children. All the other princes already had children, but he only got this one child now, so he really wanted this child to be born safely.
Lady Song used this reason to invite Yinzhen over once, then kept this reason again and again. It was alright to use this reason a few times, but after several times, it seriously made people very fed up with it.
Yinzhen was an intelligent person, so how was it possible for him not to know that Lady Song was trying to use her child as a way to gain favor? He was very sick of it. So when Lady Song sent someone to find Yinzhen again, Yinzhen directly told her maid to find a doctor. It wasn’t like he was a doctor, even if he went it’d be useless.
Lady Song was very angry when she failed to get Yinzhen to come over. This coupled with the hardships of pregnancy made her feel very wronged. She cried as she vomited.
In any case, Lady Song had caused quite a sensation ever since she became pregnant. The whole residence knew about it and some people mocked her in private, saying that they look forward to seeing what golden egg she’d end up giving birth to.
However, Lady Song was very certain that the child inside her belly was male, that her child would be Yinzhen’s eldest son.
