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 634 The Princess’s Mother
"Princess, the lady is here." Luo Kui's excited voice sounded.
Xiao Jiuyue scratched her ears, thinking she had misheard. She asked, "Where did this Madam come from?"
This is Mingzhou, and my sister-in-law is also the Crown Prince's Consort, so where did the lady come from?
"Madam, the princess's biological mother!" She understood every word Luo Kui said, but when they were put together, she didn't understand the whole thing.
"Yuer?"
Su Su's voice rang out, and she walked over quickly, her eyes fixed on Xiao Jiuyue's abdomen: "Yuer, your belly is so big?"
"Why have you lost so much weight?" Su Su felt so distressed when she saw Xiao Jiuyue's thinner face.
"mother?"
Xiao Jiuyue stood up in shock.
"Don't stand, take a rest. You have such a big belly, but you don't know how to be careful." Su Su hugged Xiao Jiuyue and started crying. Xiao Jiuyue tried to comfort her at first, but later, she simply patted her back. After a long time, Su Su wiped her eyes and said, "Yuer has suffered."
Su Su's voice became a little hoarse.
"Mom, have you visited my sister-in-law? She gave birth to a son, and he's so handsome." Xiao Jiuyue changed the subject.
"I went there. I just came in and went to see your sister-in-law and the child. They fell asleep, and then I realized that you were here too!"
Su Su originally wanted to take care of the child, so she brought a midwife and an experienced nanny with her this time. But who would have known that she would later find out that Xiao Jiuyue was also in Mingzhou.
"You're pregnant and you're still running around. You really don't take your body seriously!"
Su Su thought about her journey from Hongdu to Jiashui City, a war-torn area, and now to Mingzhou. She was terrified and said, "What if the child..."
Su Su swallowed all the unlucky words, for fear that they would come true.
"Mom, I'm fine, aren't I?"
Xiao Jiuyue was afraid that she would cry again, so she said, "By the way, mother, why did you come to Mingzhou? How is the situation in Shengjing? Are grandma and father okay?"
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Su Su listened to these serious matters and then said, "Your grandmother was ill in the spring, but she has recovered now and is now recuperating in Tongzhou. Your father is in the imperial court and is also doing well."
"Your sister-in-law is about to give birth. I originally planned to come to Mingzhou, but I delayed it for a few days. That's why I missed your sister-in-law's birth."
Su Su held her hand and said gratefully, "Luckily Yue'er is here, otherwise I would be worried to death!"
"Mom, we are a family. I don't like to hear you say these foreign words." Xiao Jiuyue said with a smile. She said, "Then will you go to see the child later?"
"No need. Your eldest brother is watching over us, and there's also a wet nurse. It's useless for me to go." Su Su looked at her and suggested, "How about we sleep together tonight?"
"Mom, that's great!" Xiao Jiuyue took Su Su's hand and said, "That's perfect, let's talk."
"By the way, Mom, have you eaten?"
"I've eaten." Su Su looked at her with a smile. She looked like she was still unmarried. The fatigue from running all the way disappeared completely at this moment.
At night, Su Su and Xiao Jiuyue seemed to have endless things to talk about. If Su Su hadn't been worried about Xiao Jiuyue being pregnant, she would have probably wanted to say more!
Xiao Jiuyue was reluctant to sleep, but thinking that his mother must have been very tired after traveling all the way from Shengjing to Mingzhou, he shut up and went to bed early.
The next day, when Xiao Jiuyue woke up, Su Su was no longer around. In the morning, Xiao Jiuyue had chicken noodle soup!
The oil in the chicken soup has been filtered out, and the light chicken soup noodles are particularly fresh and fragrant.
"This was made by Madam herself. One portion each for the Princess and the Crown Prince's Consort." Luo Kui added, "Madam got up very early, and this chicken was stewed fresh."
"Mom, it's still the same as before!" Xiao Jiuyue thought about when she was in Hongdu and the Xiao family. In order to nourish her body, Su Su always went to the kitchen to prepare food for her!
Others eat three meals a day, but she eats three meals plus snacks, and a midnight snack.
Suddenly, Xiao Jiuyue touched her belly and asked, "Isn't my mother preparing lunch now?"
"Not really." Luo Kui shook her head.
Xiao Jiuyue felt relieved and murmured, "Mother will definitely have to look after the child more often."
"Madam is preparing snacks before lunch. Madam is cooking pumpkin soup and millet porridge."
Luo Kui added, "Madam said that the Crown Princess had just given birth and shouldn't eat anything greasy or nourishing, so she specially cooked some pumpkin soup for her."
"So, there's a share for me too?" Not long after Xiao Jiuyue finished eating the noodles, she knew that her mother would definitely not forget her!
The sweet pumpkin soup was delicious. At noon, Xiao Jiuyue looked at the pigeon soup in front of her and began to feel depressed. She had not yet fully digested the pumpkin soup.
"Yu'er, why aren't you eating yet? Does it taste bad?" Su Su, who had just come over from Cui Yao's place, saw Xiao Jiuyue staring at the pigeon soup, motionless, and asked, "I've tasted it, it's very good."
"Mom, I'm not hungry yet." Xiao Jiuyue looked at the table full of dishes in front of her, and her stomach told her that she was not hungry at all!
It’s only noon and it’s already the third meal. I guess even pig farmers don’t eat so diligently?
"It's already noon? How can you not be hungry?" Su Su sat down and ate slowly with Xiao Jiuyue. She asked, "I'll make vegetable and lean meat porridge for your sister-in-law later. What do you want to eat? Do you want some jujube paste cake?"
Xiao Jiuyue, who was drinking pigeon soup, paused, then looked at Su Su with a smile and said, "Mom, I'll just have some snacks. You should take good care of your sister-in-law. She's just getting better and is still feeling weak!"
"Don't eat greasy and nourishing food in the past few days. Eat light porridge and noodles. It will be good for sister-in-law's recovery. After a few days, I will give her a good nourishment." Xiao Jiuyue thought, the third meal has not been finished yet, and her mother is thinking about the fourth meal!
Mother's love is a bit heavy, and her stomach can't take it!
"Don't worry, I know. After giving birth, you need to take a lot of supplements. You will have milk, but your body can't handle it." Su Su asked many people for this. She always felt that she needed to take more supplements before, but now she knows that she can't take them all the time.
"Then I'll make you some date paste cakes, and I'll stew some red date porridge for your sister-in-law in the evening." Su Su happily agreed.
Xiao Jiuyue quickly said, "Mom, I won't eat it."
Su Su raised her eyebrows, looking like she was trying to convince him. Xiao Jiuyue touched her belly and said, "Mom, Master said that my pregnancy is going well. If I eat too much, and the baby gets too big, it will be hard to deliver!"
When Su Su heard this, she was half-believing and half-doubting and asked, "You are so thin, how can you be too nutritious?"
"If mother doesn't believe me, go ask Master." Xiao Jiuyue spread her hands. Perhaps she didn't absorb any nutrients, and all the nutrients were absorbed by the child, so she didn't look that fat.
"Then I'll go ask later." After Su Su finished eating, she went to ask Doctor Xiao Wang. Xiao Jiuyue felt helpless when she saw this.
