Du Wanwan, a military doctor, overworked herself to death. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself branded a 'calamity star'—hated by everyone, facing a forced exodus, and expel...
The prince didn't expect Du Wanwan to do this. Fearing that the emperor would be unhappy, he defended her, "Father! Doctor Du didn't mean to use you. She..."
"I understand." The emperor waved his hand, interrupting the prince. "Whether it was intentional or not, Doctor Du was very clever to come up with this solution to the tree planting problem."
"It looks to me like she came here empty-handed, but actually she didn't. If I wasn't here, would she want to sell the right to plant a tree for five taels of silver?" The emperor laughed again after he finished speaking, "Hahaha! Doctor Du is really cruel, too cruel, I wonder how she could come up with such a plan."
You Chengzi had never expected that so many people would be willing to pay five taels of silver to help them plant trees for free. Doctor Du had previously planned a total of 1,582 places for planting trees, and they were all taken up in less than half an hour.
Seeing the basket full of money at his feet, he felt as if he was dreaming and dizzy. When Doctor Du told him about this, he didn't say anything, but he thought it was impossible.
Who would be so stupid as to spend five taels of silver to help someone plant trees?
I didn't expect that there are so many fools in the world. Someone actually cried and shouted to give them silver, hoping to plant a tree in the north of the city.
If Doctor Du hadn't said that the price couldn't be raised, people would be willing to plant them even at ten taels of silver per tree.
It was the first time they saw people making money so easily. They just provided some saplings, without any labor cost, and people would come to plant trees for them in batches.
He was full of admiration for Doctor Du's stunning moves. She was worthy of being the granddaughter-in-law of the old marquis, with extraordinary knowledge and means.
No one would believe it if I told them.
Although they didn't spend any money to buy the tree seeds, everyone was still very happy and danced with joy.
Du Wanwan: “…”
That’s right, this is the star effect!
"I got it. I got the quota. I can plant trees in the north of the city. I can plant trees with the emperor."
"Dad! My son has made it big. He can plant trees with the emperor. You should rest assured in your grave."
"Oh my god! I'm rich, rich! I can actually plant the same batch of trees as the emperor. This is the most amazing thing I have ever done in my life."
"Our ancestral tombs are smoking. We are able to plant trees for the north of the city together with the emperor. We are grateful for the care of our ancestors."
Listening to so many people shouting crazily, the emperor felt that his voice among the people was quite high.
After planting the trees, he washed his hands and stood by to watch Ye Zhenghai, Ye Tingxiao and the prince planted one tree each.
Then I got on the carriage and left the north of the city. Next time I come here, this place will definitely be full of new buildings and will be particularly eye-catching.
He Xiangjin brought people to arrange for other people to come in and plant trees. The saplings were ready, and people were called to plant them in the order they registered.
Du Wanwan didn't come, so she didn't see how lively the tree planting scene was in the north of the city.
When they returned home at night, Ye Tingxiao told her everything. Du Wanwan lay lazily on the sofa, listening, motionless.
Du Xiaoer took the spiritual spring water to the mountains. The white wolves would not be killed by the high temperature. As long as they could survive this year, perhaps they would be able to adapt to it in the future.
She took out two large bamboo tubes of spiritual spring water and gave them to Du Xiaoer, asking him to take them back to rescue the White Wolf clan.
Bai Xue no longer felt uncomfortable in the space. She was full of energy and jumped up and down every day.
Yaya was afraid that it would damage the medicinal fields and fruit trees in the space, so she imprisoned it on the mountain and did not allow it to come down.
Ye Tingxiao felt that Du Wanwan was always listless recently. He thought she was tired, so he didn't dare to disturb her every day and asked her to rest as much as possible.
"Wan Wan! Are you pregnant? Why do you look like you were when you were pregnant with Chen Chen?"
"Pregnant?" Du Wanwan immediately felt her own pulse after being reminded by Ye Tingxiao. She was stunned and looked at the man. "You are really good at predicting the future. I am really pregnant."
"Really?" Ye Tingxiao was stunned by the huge surprise. "Wanwan! Hit me to see if I am dreaming. Is the little girl I've been thinking about really here?"
"Virtue!" Du Wanwan pinched the soft flesh of Ye Tingxiao's body, and seeing him grimacing in pain, she asked with a gloating look, "How is it? Are you dreaming?
I was busy with Chengbei's affairs during this period and forgot to check my body. I don't know if it's my little girl, but I have a baby in my belly anyway."
"Great!" Touching the painful spot, Ye Tingxiao was very happy, hugged Du Wanwan carefully, "I'm going to be a father again, and I have a feeling this time, it will definitely be a little girl.
By the way, the Crown Princess has been chosen, Xie Junyao, the second daughter of Prime Minister Xie. "
"Who cares who he is? What does it have to do with us?" Du Wanwan didn't care. "People's personalities change. In fact, the investigation that the prince asked me to do was completely unnecessary. Once you have power and status, your heart will become bigger and wilder."
"No. The prince wants a dignified and proper queen, not a wife or a lover." Ye Tingxiao put Du Wanwan on the bed, "As an emperor, he cannot have a lover. Everything is subject to etiquette and law."
"Hmm!" Du Wanwan closed her eyes. "No wonder I was so sleepy these days. It turns out I'm pregnant. I was careless and didn't think of this. I don't know if Chenchen is doing well in Baiyun Mountain. Will he feel sad knowing that he has a brother or sister?"
Ye Tingxiao was puzzled. He hugged Du Wanwan from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder: "Why is Chenchen sad? Shouldn't you be happy to have a brother or sister?"
Du Wanwan opened her eyes, turned to look at Ye Tingxiao, and asked doubtfully, "Will he feel abandoned?"
In modern times, if parents want to have a second child, they must discuss it with their children! Didn't they do that in ancient times? If you think about it carefully, it seems that they really didn't.
People in ancient times liked to have many brothers and sisters. Some of them married seven or eight concubines and gave birth to a large number of legitimate sons and daughters, as well as illegitimate sons and daughters.
There are only two in their family, which seems a little too few.
"No, you think too much." Ye Tingxiao kissed Du Wanwan and comforted her with a smile, "Chenchen will be happy if he knows that he has a brother and sister."
"Yeah?"
"yes!"
Du Wanwan turned her head back and continued to close her eyes: "I miss Chenchen, can we go see him?"
"No." Ye Tingxiao gently rejected her request. "Baiyun Mountain is cold all year round, it's not suitable for you to go there. You have a child, you have to stay at home and take good care of the baby. You can't run around when you are pregnant.
Wait! Xiaobai should be back soon. When he comes back, write a letter to Chenchen, write several pages, tell him that he is going to be a big brother, he will definitely be happy. "
Amid Ye Tingxiao's chattering, Du Wanwan gradually fell asleep.
Chenchen, who was meditating on Baiyun Mountain, had a silent smile on his face. He was going to be a big brother. His mother missed him a lot, and his father missed him too.
He is very happy.
His mother might not know what he had learned. Although he was far away, he knew everything that happened at home.
He's going to be a brother.
This time, Daddy was right. He will have a soft and chubby sister. (End of this chapter)
