Chapter 208 Losing Weight

"I'm afraid I won't be able to walk tomorrow." Wu Yingyue said with a trembling voice.

"Be careful when you sleep later. It will be uncomfortable if you bump into something." Qingluan felt sorry for her but there was nothing she could do.

"Yeah." Wu Yingyue nodded.

After Qingluan left, Wu Yingyue immediately asked the system, "I have shown this to her, can you let me feel better now?" When I was applying the medicine just now, Wu Yingyue was in so much pain that tears came out.

"It's almost time. I'll relieve your pain a little, but you still have to look like this on the surface, otherwise it will arouse suspicion." The system agreed.

"Well, it's better if it doesn't hurt." Wu Yingyue wished for it.

Qingluan Palace

Hu Shanxiang was trying on the clothes that had just been sent by the Fashion Bureau, which she would wear at the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner.

"I'm afraid the Crown Princess has gained a little weight. Her waist is a little tight. Do you want them to adjust it?" Lingzhi said while helping her get dressed.

Hu Shanxiang looked at it and said, “Forget it, just a little bit, just a little bit to absorb the stomach, eat less in the next two days, it should be fine.”

"I'm sure you can eat less, Concubine Crown Prince. I'm afraid even if you wish, His Royal Highness Crown Prince won't agree."

"Don't worry about him. He won't eat much later." Hu Shanxiang nodded solemnly.

When it was time for dinner, Zhu Zhanji discovered that Hu Shanxiang had not eaten much. She usually could eat a bowl of rice, but today she only had half a bowl and took a few bites, not finishing it.

Zhu Zhanji reached out and touched her forehead and said, "It's not hot. Are you feeling unwell?" Zhu Zhanji thought of the few days every month when Hu Shanxiang didn't have a very good appetite, but it seemed like the timing was not right.

Hu Shanxiang was puzzled: "No, I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere."

"Why do you only eat so little? What if you get hungry later?" Zhu Zhanji was about to take the bowl and give her more rice.

Hu Shanxiang quickly stopped him and moved his hand away, "No, Your Highness, I plan to eat less these two days."

"Why?" Zhu Zhanji didn't understand.

Hu Shanxiang lowered her head and said somewhat embarrassedly: "I tried on clothes today and my waist became thicker..." The muffled voice came over and Zhu Zhanji could not hear it clearly.

"What? What's wrong with the clothes? Don't you like them? Ask them to make them again." Zhu Zhanji seemed to have vaguely heard that the clothes were sent over and thought that Hu Shanxiang didn't like them.

"No," Hu Shanxiang raised her head and looked at the palace servants standing next to her. Wu Cheng and the others watched closely and immediately retreated outside. Seeing that everyone had left, Hu Shanxiang continued, "I tried on clothes today and they were a little tight around my waist. I thought I'd eat less these two days so I don't have to alter the clothes."

"No, it's their problem that the clothes can't be worn. They didn't change the size in time. If you don't eat, your body will suffer." After hearing this, Zhu Zhanji immediately opposed his idea.

"It's just a little bit, not a lot. It's not that I don't eat, I just eat less. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will ask them to alter the clothes." It's only two days, and Hu Shanxiang didn't want to make any trouble.

"You have to eat that half bowl, otherwise it would be too little, and we can't waste food." Zhu Zhanji took a step back, "Or drink some soup, soup is fine."

"Okay." Hu Shanxiang decided not to have dinner with Zhu Zhanji tomorrow. She could not resist his persuasion.

Zhu Zhanji was satisfied only after he saw her finish eating. After she finished eating, he patted her head and said, "You are so good."

"You are raising a daughter?"

"I'll try hard and we'll have a daughter next year."

"Ah." Hu Shanxiang was stunned.
