228 How Did It Become Like This?

Ever since she entered the palace, Zhao Panpan’s body had slimmed down at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. Her morning sickness was already very serious during her pregnancy, and her stomach was very big, making her body seem even thinner.

“Pure Consort, the imperial physician said that you are depressed. If you miss home, then let Marquis Zhao come and see you. You must not demean yourself.” Qing Ping was on the verge of tears.

Zhao Panpan lay on the soft couch, feeling frustrated. Suddenly, she smelled a familiar scent, and saliva began to drip from her mouth. She seemed to have an appetite, and her stomach was growling.

“Pure Consort, it’s the Zhao family that has sent food. Quickly, bring the cooked food!” Qing Ping was so happy that she almost cried. She hurriedly took the food box from Zhao Shanshan’s hands.

“Why didn’t the Madam make more? The Pure Consort can only eat the food she made.” When Qing Ping saw the portion of the food, she first complained before handing it to the palace maid beside her.

“Mother’s body is injured, and it’s difficult for her to get out of bed. It’s already very tiring for her to personally cook for my sister.” Zhao Shanshan lowered her eyes. It was difficult to describe her feelings. Since she was young, Xiao Meili had been in charge of Zhao Panpan’s food and clothing. She had never given it to anyone else. Even when Zhao Shanshan wanted to eat, she would be reprimanded by Xiao Meili, not allowing her to snatch anything from her sister. She was envious, jealous, and even hateful. The calmness she had until now was probably despair. Now that Zhao Panpan had entered the palace and become the Pure Consort, as long as she wanted to eat, her mother would cook for her even if she was sick.

Zhao Shanshan looked up at Zhao Panpan. ‘Mother really loves you…’ However, her glance made Zhao Shanshan’s heart skip a beat and she was completely stunned.

“How did you end up like this?” Zhao Yingying said in shock. She was too shocked. The last time Zhao Panpan came back with a big belly, although she was also a little thin, she thought that Zhao Panpan had just entered the palace and was not used to it. However, she was so thin that her cheekbones protruded out, and her belly was terrifyingly big even though she was only five months pregnant…

“After the Pure Consort returned from the fu last time, her appetite has become worse.” Qing Ping was very worried. When they returned to the residence, Lady Xiao had clearly brought a bowl of soup for Zhao Panpan, and she had drunk it all. However, after returning to the palace, her aversion to food had become more serious than ever. Yesterday, when she saw the prince fall into the well, she was so frightened that she almost vomited bile.

Zhao Panpan did not say anything. She just sat up and ate the food that Xiao Meili had made.

“Mother’s cooking is still the best.” Zhao Panpan’s voice was a little hoarse, and her face was gentle as she touched her stomach. Ever since she was young, her mother had only ever cooked for her. Now that she saw Zhao Shanshan looking at her from the side, she wanted Zhao Shanshan to have a bite. However, she was worried about the nutrition of the child in her stomach, so she could not bring herself to ask.

“Tomorrow, this servant will go and ask His Majesty the Emperor to have the Madam make some food for you every day. Even if it’s not for you, you have to think about the prince in your stomach!” Qing Ping served Zhao Panpan another bowl of porridge.

The imperial physician diagnosed Zhao Panpan as depressed. She missed her family too much and got pregnant in an unfamiliar place, which led to her current state.

“Sigh, no wonder the Madam always says that girls should not marry far away. Milady is too attached to her family. Every time she leaves home for a long time, her appetite will decline and she will not want to eat.” Qing Ping sighed. Fortunately, Zhao Panpan was favored now. Otherwise, it would be difficult to send things in from the outside.

The emperor really did care about the child in Zhao Panpan’s stomach. He had checked the food she ate over and over again, afraid that something would go wrong.

After Zhao Panpan finished eating, she slowly put down her spoon. After eating, she felt as if she had come back to life. She had been feeling weak and dizzy before, but now she was much clearer. The children in her stomach seemed to feel her mother’s joy and immediately started kicking.

“The children just love to move. When they move, her stomach will tremble. His Majesty the Emperor says every day that he wants to give birth to a healthy and fat little boy. This time, it will definitely be a success.” Qing Ping said with a smile as she watched the fetal movement.

Zhao Shanshan glanced at Zhao Panpan’s stomach and pouted.

“It’s strange. Sister, you used to be in good health. Why do you have so many problems when you’re pregnant? ” Zhao Shanshan felt that something was not right, so she asked another question. Who knew that Zhao Panpan’s face would suddenly sink?
