Though Concubine Yu felt uncomfortable from pregnancy nausea, she still felt hungry.
This morning, she only managed to eat half a bowl of Bird's Nest Porridge before throwing up some of it.
Now, as she looked at the exquisite and simple dishes in front of her, her appetite grew.
She reached out to pick up a piece of pastry.
"Your Highness, no!"
The palace maid stopped her, whispering, "Be careful, these may not be clean."
Concubine Yu valued the child in her belly more than her own life, so she hesitated upon hearing this.
"How is that possible?" She stared at the pastry in her hand, "Not even outsiders know about my pregnancy yet, how could she possibly harm me?"
"Even so, it's always better to be cautious."
Concubine Yu nodded, but her hand still held the pastry tightly, her expression uncertain.
Seeing her reluctance to let go, the close palace maid smiled and said, "Let me try the food for you, Master."
