Omi no Kata was perplexed as she read the letter passed on to her by Toyotamaru's tutor through Sakon no daibu Norihide.
"Ah, it mentions the foods that are beneficial and harmful to consume during pregnancy."
"It appears that Toyotamaru-sama, out of concern for your well-being, took the initiative to read books from Ming and wrote this letter."
"Oh! Toyotamara-dono is not only smart but also a kind child. He rarely speaks during our morning exercise sessions, yet he shows such thoughtfulness."
"The lord assures that the foods mentioned will not have any adverse effects on your health, so please follow the instructions given in the letter."
From Omi no Kata's perspective, Toyotamaru, the current heir, was someone difficult to approach. While it was likely that if she gave birth to a son, he would become the future successor, the situation at present still designated him as the heir.
Although Toyotamaru was probably aware of this circumstance to some extent, Omi no Kata appreciated his consideration and thoughtfulness.
"Very well, let us adhere to the advice given by Toyotamaru-dono. It suggests adding tachibana citrus juice to the meals for its beneficial and palatable qualities."
"Shall I prepare it for your evening meal? It also advises to refrain from drinking tea or alcohol."

Eating eel in pregnancy is usually safe because eel is always served cooked (it's toxic if it isn't).
