With her father and brother banished, and her engagement to the marquisate broken, everyone eagerly awaited to see Xiao Jiuyue become a laughingstock.
Facing her frail grandmother, her beauti...
Chapter 591 Chapter 591 Are you pregnant too?
"We can build a pharmacy, but you're being too hasty. Didn't we agree to wait for our medicine garden to be built?"
Doctor Xiao Wang looked at her slightly bulging belly and said, "Princess, you are pregnant now, you must be calm!"
"We can't wait any longer. If the Xijiang soldiers really start fighting, Jiashui City will need a huge amount of medicine." After Xiao Jiuyue threw all the medicine to his master, Shi Lizheng also came.
"Princess, is there something wrong?" Shi Lizheng heard that the princess was looking for him, and he rushed over without even having breakfast.
Xiao Jiuyue told him about her plans to make medicine and gauze, and said, "After the spring planting, please ask each household to send one person over. That way, we can make more gauze and other things."
"Okay." Shi Lizheng responded and asked, "Then I'll go gather people now and we can do it together."
"Okay." Xiao Jiuyue added, "I won't treat you unfairly. I'll pay you one hundred coins a day!"
"Princess, this is too much!" Shi Lizheng was surprised when he heard that he would earn one hundred coins a day. If he did this for a month, wouldn't he be able to earn three taels of silver a month?
"Thank you for your hard work, so naturally we have to pay you more wages." Xiao Jiuyue had a faint smile on her lips. Although everyone's life is better now, if they want to live better, they have to continue to earn money.
Whether it was Fengchunlou, Candy House, or Ruyuge, Xiao Jiuyue earned money much more easily than they did.
Therefore, even if she had to spend more money to hire the village aunts and young wives to do the work, she was still very happy.
Besides, since they get paid more, they will naturally work harder, and even do better than she expected. How can she not do such a win-win thing?
While Xiao Jiuyue was arranging the preparation of medicine and gauze, Hua Qing was also fiddling with the making of pills.
"Hua Qing, why are your pills sweet?" Luo Kui looked at Hua Qing in confusion. The medicines she made were all of various shapes and sizes. When did she make them white and smell a little sweet?
"What is the effect of this medicine? Will it make people have diarrhea? Or will it make people sick?" Basella kirilowii is like a curious baby.
"A pregnancy-maintaining medicine." Hua Qing had barely finished speaking when Luo Kui stared at her belly and asked, "Are you pregnant too? Then our palace will be bustling with activity next year."
"Who told you I was pregnant?" Hua Qing glanced at her and said unhappily, "Jin Wu and I have already agreed not to get pregnant within three years."
"Why?" Luo Kui became even more curious and asked, "Could it be that Jin Wu doesn't want children?"
"No, women of our Hua Clan cannot have children until they reach the age of fertility." Hua Qing explained patiently, rubbing the pregnancy-protecting pills in her hands without stopping for a moment. She said, "I told Jin Wu about this before we got married."
"Oh." Luo Kui said, seemingly understanding, "Then your Flower Clan has quite a lot of rules."
"Well, others want to be members of the Flower Clan, but they can't." Hua Qing said proudly, "Let me tell you, we, the Flower Clan, are very smart. We know the past and the future."
"Yes, yes, yes." Luo Kui nodded perfunctorily. She didn't know how many times she had heard such words. Suddenly, she looked around and asked quietly like a thief, "Prince, are you really going to be okay?"
The princess couldn't sleep well at night. What would she do if something happened to the prince?
Wouldn’t it be like the sky is about to collapse in the palace?
"How could there be any problem!" Hua Qing said righteously: "The prince is the true dragon emperor."
Hua Qing's words in her ear were clearly a whisper, but now they were like thunder, exploding in her ears.
"Hmm!" Luo Kui covered her mouth, afraid that she would accidentally say it out loud. She covered her chest for a long time before slowly calming down and said, "Hua Qing, doesn't that mean our princess will become the most noble woman in the world in the future?"
"Of course." Hua Qing answered without thinking, "It is precisely because the princess' fate is precious that she has such a difficult life!"
"Then the princess will enjoy a happy life in the future." Luo Kui's eyes sparkled with excitement, but then she became worried about the princess and said, "But, the prince said he won't take concubines."
Luo Kui frowned. It was clearly a matter that was still far away, but she was so worried that she couldn't even eat.
Fortunately, Xiao Jiuyue was worried, otherwise, it would have been seen immediately.
"What's wrong? Is the princess not feeling well?" Guo Sheng became worried when he saw that Luo Kui didn't even want to eat the roast chicken.
The prince led his troops to Jiashui City. Before leaving, they signed a military order in front of the prince, stating that even if they were all killed, the princess would not suffer a single hair loss.
"The princess is fine, it's just..." Luo Kui hesitated to speak. What Hua Qing said about fortune-telling must not be told to others. If it gets out, wouldn't it harm the prince and princess?
Luo Kui closed her mouth tightly again.
"What is it?" Guo Sheng asked anxiously. Luo Kui had kept his appetite high, and he was so impatient that he was almost going crazy.
"Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you." Luo Kui waved her hand and decided not to say anything. This matter concerns the princess's life and property, and she would never tell anyone even if she was beaten to death.
Even Guo Sheng can’t say it!
Who knows if Guo Sheng will betray me in the future?
Luo Kui now thinks everyone seems to be a good person, and she is afraid that if she tells others about it, it will implicate the princess.
"Miss Luokui, how can I understand if you don't tell me?" Guo Sheng was scratching his head and cheek anxiously, almost dying of anxiety because of Luokui's words.
Luo Kui's eyes rolled around, she was still thinking, not paying any attention to Guo Sheng. Suddenly, she asked, "Do you think the prince will really not take concubines in the future?"
"Of course I can." Guo Sheng answered without thinking. Looking at Luo Kui's disbelieving expression, he said, "No one except the princess can touch the prince's body. Even if the prince wants to, he doesn't have the strength to do so."
"Besides, with the prince's beloved princess, do you think he can take a concubine?" Guo Sheng had been with the prince since he could remember, and he knew the prince's character very well.
The prince is cold-hearted and has no regard for anything other than Concubine Rou's affairs.
The prince has been slowly plotting revenge for Concubine Rou, but when it comes to the princess, he would even sacrifice his own life.
"That's right." Luo Kui slapped his head and said, "How could I have forgotten about this?"
Luo Kui's gloomy expression instantly brightened up. She took the roast chicken and ate it in big mouthfuls: "The princess needs to make a lot of medicinal materials recently. You should also quickly ask the brothers to gather some."
After saying that, Luo Kui took the roast chicken and left.
In the small forest outside Fu'an Village.
"Brother Liang, the princess won't come out at all. Even if we disguise ourselves as nearby villagers and enter the village and find out where she lives, we won't be able to find her." A masked man said, "Don't underestimate this small village. I've encountered three patrols today!"
