The Princess Of 100 Talents
Chapter #119

"How, is the fish burned with yim leaves ready?" Empress An said to Feng Ying.

"Your majesty, you just asked to make grilled fish with yim leaves. Please wait for him a few more moments."

"Okay, but my stomach always feels hungry. You saw it, I just finished 5 mooncakes, and now I'm like a starving man again."

Feng Ying smiled, "Your highness, you are currently pregnant. And what I do know, if a woman is pregnant, will feel hungry more often. So that's a natural thing, your honor."

"Although so, but still this makes me confused. Looks like in a month, I'll be a very fat pregnant woman."

Feng Ying could only laugh softly at what Empress An had said.

"Do you want to rest first, your majesty. When the grilled fish is ready, I'll wake you up." Said Feng Ying.

"No, it's better now we go to the park first."

"Your Majesty, the air is getting colder today. And his highness prince Rong asked me to look after his majesty, lest his majesty go anywhere."

"Your majesty really wants to make me a big woman."

"What are you saying, why do I feel someone is scolding me?" Said Prince Rong who had just walked into the room.

"Your majesty." Said Feng Ying while saluting.

Prince Rong nodded, then walked over and sat down beside his empress.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Prince Rong.

Empress An was silent, because she did not want Prince Rong to know, that she was waiting for the fish to burn.

Prince Rong looked at Feng Ying, "Say, what does Empress An want?"

"Your majesty the empress, is waiting for the grilled fish, your majesty." Said Feng Ying.

"Fire burn?"

"Yes, your honor."

Prince Rong grabbed the hand of Empress An and looked at her.

"Wait a minute, the palace chef must be making it for you." Prince Rong.

"...... Good your honor."

"Then, why would I hear if I wanted to make you big?"

"That's....."

Empress An could not continue her words, because she really did not know what to say.

Prince Rong smiled looking at her empress like that, because after becoming pregnant, she changed a little. More silence in the room, as if reluctant to part with their room.

"You're pregnant right now, you need to take better care of your health. I don't want anything to happen to you either." Prince Rong.

"I understand your majesty."

"I'll take you to the park, for a walk."

Empress An nodded, "Good."

Feng Ying who saw that could only smile, because right now Empress An was like a child sulking at her father.

Prince Rong helped Empress An stand up, then the two of them walked out of the room towards the garden inside their palace.

"Sit down, we'll be here for a while. Once the grilled fish you want is ready, we'll go back to the room." Prince Rong said after they arrived at the park.

"Okay, your honor."

Prince Rong and Empress An then sat in the middle of the spacious garden. They enjoy spending time together which they rarely do.

"Your majesty, is everything okay?" Said empress An.

"Yes, everything's fine. You don't have to think about it."

"I'm just worried, I'm pregnant right now. And of course I don't want anything to happen to you."

Prince Rong clasped Empress An's hand, "You don't have to worry, everything is good. And I hope it'll always be like that."

Empress An nodded and smiled.

"We rarely sit here, because I'm so busy with all my work." Prince Rong.

"I can understand that, but you also have to pay attention to your health."

The leaves and flowers in the garden looked very fresh, because at this time the winter wind had blown and also every day the servants would water them.

"Your highness, the palace chef said that the grilled fish was ready. And soon to be brought to the hall." Said Feng Ying.

"All right, we have to go back now. The grilled fish you want is ready." Prince Rong.

"Yes, your honor."

Prince Rong and Empress An walked towards the hall.

Arriving at the hall, they saw the palace attendants laying grilled fish, and some vegetables that were also ready on the table.

"Did the palace chef burn the fish with the yim leaves I wanted?" Said empress An.

"Yes, your highness. The palace chef also prepared some vegetables, so that his majesty would not just eat grilled fish."

"All right, thank you."

Prince Rong helped Empress An sit in his chair, and he sat down next to her.

"Isn't this food too much, your majesty?" Said empress An.

"No, just 1 grilled fish and two vegetables. You should eat well anyway."

"Yes, your honor."

Prince Rong smiled, then took the grilled fish and placed it on the bowl of Empress An.

"Eat, you've been waiting for that fish." Prince Rong.

"Thank you, your honor."

Empress An stuffed the grilled fish and ate it.

"It feels pretty good, you should try it too, your majesty." Said empress An.

"Yes, I'll try."

Prince Rong picked up the grilled fish and ate it, and he immediately felt that there was something else in the taste of the grilled fish.

"Your majesty, are these grilled fish not tasty?" Said Empress An who saw the face of prince Rong.

"No, it's pretty good. But it tastes a little sour."

"really? But I don't feel it."

Prince Rong looked at Empress An in surprise, as the grilled fish had a slightly sour taste but Empress An said no.

"Maybe my tongue has a problem?"

Prince Rong took the grilled fish back and tried it again, and the taste remained the same as when he ate it earlier.

"Is it true that there is no sour taste in your tongue, empress?" Prince Rong.

"Yes, your highness. It tastes good."

Prince Rong frowned hearing the words of Empress An.

"If so, you can eat the grilled fish. I'll eat a little vegetable." Prince Rong.

"Is the grilled fish not tasty, your majesty."

"Fish it's good to burn, so I want you to eat it."

"Your majesty, really want to make my body grow bigger."

Prince Rong just smiled hearing that, "If your body gets bigger, isn't that good? Which means our son grew up well in your belly."

Empress An was silent, then stuffed the vegetables on the table and ate them.

Prince Rong was very happy, because Empress An did not choose food when she was in her early pregnancy.
