The news of Zhang Fei's pregnancy quickly reached Uncle Prince's ears. His face that still reflected the grief over the Emperor's departure was suddenly given a thin touch of a smile. Even so, the mourning situation that plagued the palace obligated Uncle Prince not to show an overly obvious expression of excitement.
However, when the time for rest came, Uncle Prince took the initiative to ask for permission and went to visit Zhang Fei, the Princess. Inside the room, Zhang Fei was still lying weak and listless, his eyes blank as he looked into the void.
"To be honest, I only forgot about contraception when Uncle Prince went to look for a rare plant for the Emperor's poison antidote. But there's no way I could get pregnant so soon, right?" Zhang Fei pondered in his heart, but slowly he said those words in a daze.
When he asked the System, the answer he received was just a slab. The system was not an entity that could plan a pregnancy, but rather just an information thief from the outside world. It made Zhang Fei even more dumbfounded and unable to accept the reality that was in front of him.
When the Prince's Uncle arrived, Zhang Fei still remained silent, as if the events that occurred were just a delusion. However, when Uncle Prince's hand grabbed his hand and grasped it tightly, the tremors made Zhang Fei realize that this was reality.
"Uncle Prince..."
"Daughter, I never imagined that we would receive such good news in such sad times. But, thank you for giving me a new generation" said the Prince's Uncle in a soft but sincere voice.
"But I don't plan on having children now. My body is still too young," zhang Fei lamented sadly.
You know, marriage is something that zhang Fei hated as a result of the trauma he experienced in his previous life. If he never thought of getting married let alone having children.
Married the Prince's uncle was also forced but he had swallowed a series of contraceptive pills to block the existence of children among them but...
What's happening now.
The Prince's uncle looked at him with an astonished expression "Daughter, don't you want a child from me?"
Zhang Fei was puzzled, he did not want to let Uncle Prince down. But he was doubtful especially with his young age. He wanted to talk, but he knew that the reason for age was not an acceptable reason.
This year there are so many girls getting married at the age of 14. If possible a girl can even give birth when they are at the age of 16.
Zhang Fei was also married at the age of 15 but never thought about getting pregnant this year.
"Whatever happens, he's a descendant of dragons. I don't want to force you to love me, but please cherish my descendants," the Prince's Uncle said with serious eyes.
The prince's uncle and Zhang Fei were a couple who liked to argue. But in such a debate Uncle Prince understood one thing.
Princess Peipei is someone who has different thoughts and her outlook on the world is also different compared to the girls out there.
After speaking a few things in the end Uncle Prince walked out of the room. He was only disappointed to see the reaction from zhang Fei alone.
when walking in a daze Uncle Prince met a little healer.
but this was one of the healers who had once tried to treat Uncle Prince but had never managed to now see Uncle Prince walking with a mature face made Him a little amazed just that their statuses were not the same so he has to duck.
But who knows, the Prince's uncle called him.
"Tabib, the prince's uncle wanted to ask . The princess had a strange reaction, when she got the news of her pregnancy.What do you think?"
"Uncle Prince. This strange reaction may be a common emotional response the first time a woman knows they are pregnant, many factors can trigger their feelings, such as major life changes, new responsibilities as a mother, and worries about the future"
"So, is this not a disease or a worrisome symptom?"
"No, Uncle Prince. This reaction is normal and normal"
After getting an answer from the healer earlier Uncle Prince felt more relaxed.
Now she had to go back to the Hall to continue the kneeling ritual, but before that she advised the chef to pay more attention to food intake for the Princess because of her pregnant condition.
Meanwhile, Zhang Fei who was staying was complaining about his system.
"Why I didn't realize that I was pregnant, Mama never told me"
("Say you should have thought, Princess has consumed fitness pills that will always maintain a healthy body. So everything about morning sickness or something like that is definitely not going to happen, but congratulations ya will be mother hehehe")
"Huh my plan is a mess all. do not want to marry, forced to marry. do not want to have children, now even pregnant.Hey ..."
("Yes but being pregnant doesn't get down on your knees, so don't get angry")
"not angry but kel"
Zhang Fei who was feeling annoyed suddenly remembered that a while ago, zhang Mei was also pregnant even though she had already miscarried.
How is he now.
"Mama, how's Zhang Mei doing now? I don't seem to have heard from you since a while ago?"
("No, only now where did Buk go")
"Eh um mama ever?"
If the system had a hand perhaps he would pinch his current host. Yesterday also mentioned there are missing characters.because there is nothing, the system is silent.
"Oh mama, I think now mama has complex emotions deh. now mama can also be angry right.don't get angry later old, soon, eh Mama doesn't even have any form of how to get old is it hehehe"
"("Hum")
"OK come on mah, look for mei zhang, how are you doing now??"
("Ohh let's back off this incident 3 days before the day of the rebellion okay.if the direct events today ntar not on connecting")
"Okay, three days before the day of the rebellion"
That day, Zhang Mei was captured and locked up in a cold palace.In fact the so-called cold palace was a courtyard that had a high wall that could be locked from the outside.
There was a building there but it was a building left so it was never taken care of. There was even a grass higher than humans.
someone who was expelled and stayed in this cold palace in a week would definitely be sent food even when they were first placed later would also be given preparations.
it was just that inside there would be no servants following his heart one had to stay alone.
("But he was hated by the concubines.Because of the absence of the Princess in the Prince's palace then the concubines are in power.Because upset, on the first day, they did not even provide food supplies even a grain of rice")
"Please, anybody....
That day zhang Mei began to feel what her name was hell. Although he knew he had made a mistake, he only wished they were more humane by sending him some groceries to survive in the cold palace.
Zhang Mei shouted to remind the people, If he doesn't already have any groceries .But who would care about that shout if it was actually beyond the conditions so alarming for the third Prince's party.
Tired of screaming at the end zang Mei surrounded the cold palace to find something edible.
Although dirty, the cooking equipment here is still a little complete. It's just that everything must be cleaned first if you want to use it.
Maybe the cutlery here has never been used again four or 5 years.
"There's a knife"
Zhang Mei was happy to see only a rusty knife.
With a knife he went around the area again. He also diligently collected the dried branches that fell from the big tree trees that were deliberately planted inside this cold palace.
"so he's starving dong mah??"
("Not really, his survival ability is quite good.He can light a fire without matches, there are rats there and now it's meat for zhang Mei")
"Eh a.huk....!"
Yuck...
Peach girl did not know the contents of the conversation with her system.But she was a little worried to hear zhang Fei vomit.She hurriedly took the basin for zhang Fei to vomit there.
("The cook's wife loses to Mei, Ckckck")
"This mama.ti.kus,huek....!"
("If you're hungry, it's all gone.")
" oh princess, how uncomfortable" asked the worried Peach girl.
Moments later the system resumed its story, and this happened on the fourth day he was in the cold palace and also on the first day of the revolt.
Zhang Mei was mentally already so badly slumped. Now he spoke to himself in a soft voice.
"Is this all my fault? Do I deserve this?" slowly muttered. His voice was carried by the cold wind and sounded like a whisper inside the silent palace.
A small cry broke from her lips as she reminisced about her mother in the zhang mansion"Mother, do you still remember me ? Miss you. I miss your warm embrace. I know I made a mistake but help me, mother."
Zhang Mei knelt on the cold floor of the palace "Mother, I can't stand it anymore. Please, hurry up and pick me up from this palace."
Closing her eyes, Zhang Mei tried to imagine her mother being present by her side. He felt the warmth of his mother's embrace, as if he was back to being a protective little boy in Jiang moyun's arms.
His eyes closed softly and in his delusion, he returned to the dining table at the Zhang Mansion.
On that table, lined up delicious dishes that were appetizing. His fragrance ventured out and filled the room, inviting saliva to drip on his lips.
There is a savory soup with slices of soft meat, a plate of fragrant and tempting fried noodles and a plate of pure white rice. The dishes faced him alluringly, as if calling him to eat immediately.
She is Zhang's beautiful eldest daughter and she always gets priority when it comes to food. All the delicious dishes were always put in front of her.As the eldest daughter, she had the right to choose and enjoy the best. Her sisters stared at her with sparkling eyes waiting patiently for their turn.
But those sweet memories suddenly turned into a bitter taste as Zhang Mei returned to the cold reality of the silent palace. He felt the contrast between the beautiful past and the bitter reality. His hunger and solitude made him despair, and his cries and shouts shattered the silence of the room.
"I am the beautiful and noble Princess Zhang," she exclaimed in a smashed soft voice. "But why, why should I end up like this?" His sobbing voice.
Suddenly a dark-colored snake crept in a calm motion. The dim sunlight illuminated his shiny scales, perhaps he was looking for food or shelter.
But zhang Mei who was crying, immediately saw him.By suddenly, her trembling hand caught the snake.
The snake revolted, trying to coiling its body to break free, but Zhang Mei firmly held it in place immediately. He also thoughtlessly, immediately skinned the snake by ripping off its scales one by one.
("The person who wants to survive is actually very terrible.Only zhang Mei must have been afraid of snakes but now because of stomach problems then she became brave")
All of a sudden, the system felt he had chosen the wrong host.
Fortunately, Zhang Fei did not know.
After skinning the snake, Zhang Mei gathered the dried twigs and burned them with a simple piece of equipment she found in the palace kitchen. A small flame blazed and smoldering, turning the snake meat that had once been alive into fragrant roast meat.
As the roasted snake meat finished, Zhang Mei held the pieces of meat with trembling hands. She cried, facing the harsh reality that had drastically changed her life.
While biting the piece of roasted snake meat, Zhang Mei's tears also fell . He ate snake meat between necessity and nausea.
While chewing on the snake meat Zhang Mei asked herself "Why did I become like this? Why can?"
Although the zhang mantion was not so rich, but what kind of food had he never eaten.
When compared with the past and the present, the difference is very far.
"Uhh mama is so sorry, mahah"
("In Dayun life like this is common.She just never experienced this.Eh but the princess also not, that's why you guys are so gentle, ckckck")
Zhang Fei recalls a documentary about survival in the wild. Overview of the mountains, forests, and the struggles of the main character inspired him.
Despite being in a cold palace, Zhang Mei has the same spirit and strength as the characters in the documentary .
"Yes Mama's right we're just too soft" Zhang Fei said.
He subconsciously stroked his flat stomach.
"Mom if he was born, I would encourage him to learn about living in the wild.Or just reading it is not true, one must have the ability to survive and some real skills right"
("Hem may be ")
Was this what the palace concubines thought when they gave birth to a son?
Surviving in a palace is no worse than surviving in the wild.
For example, the prince's uncle who forced himself to be stamped as a stupid man.
Isn't this the art of self-defense as well.
Then does the fate of the child who will be born later also have to be so?
Heh arrived just as zhang Fei lost his fighting spirit.
