Chapter 1209: How Could It Be a Girl?

The moment Lady Song woke up, she wanted to see her child. When she found out that the child was a girl, she was stupefied. She grabbed Hong Mei’s hand and asked, “How could it be a girl? Wasn’t it a boy?”

Lady Song had always believed that it was a boy inside her belly, that he would be the prince’s eldest son. However, the child turned out to be a girl! How could this be? It wasn’t possible!

The wet nurse carried the little lady over. Lady Song glanced at the thin baby in the swaddling clothes and found that the child was even very ugly. She was a little fl.u.s.tered as she undid the swaddling clothes. When she saw the distinctive characteristics of a girl, her figure seemed to crumble.

“Lady, everything must blossom first before it bears fruit. Lady, you’ll definitely be able to give birth to a little prince.” When Hong Mei saw Lady Song’s look of despair, she hastily said, “Lady, what you need to do now is to recover properly, then give birth to a son for the prince.”

“Take the child away,” said Lady Song to the wet nurse, then she lay back down and turned away.

Lady Song was extremely disappointed. It had been so painful. She had suffered so much that it felt like she had lost half her life, but she ended up giving birth to a girl.

As Lady Song lay on the bed, she could hear the whispers of the maids outside. They all said that she had demanded to be so respected and pampered, but all she ended up giving birth to was a girl.

During the puerperium period, Lady Song didn’t go to see her own child even once and just left her to the wet nurse. She was angry with this child, and she also bore a grudge against her own stomach for not giving birth to a son.

Perhaps Lady Song had kicked things off, because other women in the inner courtyard began to become pregnant. This time, it was the primary consort Lady Ula Nara, who had been diagnosed as pregnant.

When Yinzhen found out about this, he sent all the nouris.h.i.+ng tonics in his storehouse to Lady Ula Nara’s courtyard and had the doctor check her pulse once every three days.

Lady Ula Nara was pregnant with children of direct lineage so Yinzhen naturally cared a lot.

When Lady Song found out about this, she was practically angered to death. She hadn’t seen the prince being this concerned when she was pregnant. It was all because the child in her belly wasn’t a son.

Lady Ula Nara attached great importance to the child in her belly and handed over all the housekeeping authority to the secondary consort, Lady Nian. She told all the ladies in the inner courtyard that they didn’t have to pay respects anymore because she wanted to focus on the pregnancy. She stopped caring about anything else.

She was quite level headed, to have directly handed over the housekeeping authority. It was quite the courageous move.

However, Ning Shu now had a new task, which was to go to the kitchen to boil goat’s milk in the middle of the night while everyone was asleep.

Afterwards, she’d sneak to the little lady’s room with the goat’s milk. The wet nurse was lying on the bed, snoring loudly while the little lady was moving around in the cradle.

Ning Shu quietly set the goat’s milk on the table to wait for it to cool down. She got water to wipe the child clean. It was now summer, so the child’s body was covered with sweat rashes.

Lady Song didn’t care about her own child, and even the wet nurse didn’t care about this child. The current Lady Song just spent her time sulking and glaring at the pregnant Lady Ula Nara.

She grumbled at herself for not giving birth to a boy.
