Wow~~~

Lanqin started experiencing morning sickness. She didn't expect it to be so severe; she vomited almost everything she ate.

The Fourth Prince was thinking about the little princess, and these past few days, as soon as he finished his business in the palace, he would immediately return to the manor to see Lanqin.

"Nianxue, take it away. I can't eat anymore." Lanqin waved for Nianxue to take the lunch away.

"Princess, your face has gotten noticeably thinner these past few days. If you keep vomiting like this, what will we do? The little one in your belly needs nutrition!" Nianxue was extremely anxious. She had already instructed Niu Baoquan to come up with some delicious, visually appealing, and non-greasy dishes for the princess.

"I can't eat." Lanqin took the mouthwash Xicha handed her, took a sip, gulped it down, and then spat it into the copper bowl that Sihua had prepared.

"Should we ask Doctor Wu to come and take a look? Is there any way to adjust his appetite?" Xi Cha asked.

Siqi's voice came from outside, greeting the Fourth Master.

As soon as he entered, he saw Lanqin sitting on the couch and Nianxue preparing to clear away the afternoon meal, and he knew that he had not entered properly.

"How was it today? How much did you eat?" Fourth Master looked at the table and saw that the lunch had hardly been touched.

"It's all your fault, Master. I can't eat anything." Lanqin was also a little annoyed. When she saw Fourth Master asking, she started to throw a tantrum.

"Alright, Master. Should we invite your mother over? Her cooking might suit your taste." Fourth Master walked to Lanqin's side and pulled the little princess into his arms to comfort her.

"No need, just get me some sour fruit juice." Lanqin wanted to drink some icy, sour fruit juice. She had already invented a kind of "juicer" made of bamboo, and had the maids bring fruit to juice it. Fourth Master said he wanted to invite Anjia Shi over, but forget it, who knows who will be comforting whom then.

"Alright, orange juice or grape juice? We have both, have someone squeeze some and bring it over." Fourth Master was relieved to see that she was still willing to drink.

Look at Little Princess, she's lost weight these past few days. She's been throwing up everything she eats every day, how could she not lose weight?

Nianxue quickly led people to squeeze out some juice; whatever Gege wanted to eat right now needed to be prepared immediately. Otherwise, she might lose her appetite again soon.

"Why are you back so early today?" She asked casually when only Lanqin and Fourth Master were left in the room.

"We don't need to go these next few days. Anyway, Father is being taken care of by the Third Prince now, so we don't have anything to do." A hint of displeasure flashed across the Fourth Prince's face.

"My lord, I'm a little sleepy and want to go to sleep for a while. Please keep me company." Lanqin wished she could sleep for more than ten hours a day, but seeing that the Fourth Prince didn't want to talk about it, she didn't bother to ask.

Fourth Master nodded, helped Lanqin up, and they went into the inner room together. The maids had all gone to make juice, and in order to get Lanqin to eat something, they were making a ruckus.

"Let's assign you a governess. All the maids here are women who have never given birth, so they might not be able to serve you well." The Fourth Master personally removed the jewelry from Lanqin's head and then unbuttoned the buttons on her qipao.

"No, I don't want a nanny to manage me." The first thing that came to Lanqin's mind was "Nanny Rong".

"I'm not trying to control you, I'm just giving you some pointers. Now that you're pregnant, you need to be careful about what you can and can't eat, what actions you can't take, and what things you can't do." Fourth Master helped Lanqin take off her outer qipao.

Oh, the pot seller, no way~~~

"Master, I think you can give me some pointers now. Let's not bring in another manager." Lanqin smiled charmingly and began to unbutton the Fourth Master's outer robe with both hands.

Fourth Master lifted Lanqin by the waist with both hands, letting her undress him, experiencing an indescribable feeling.

"Tomorrow, I'll go to Mother's palace and ask that Granny De. She served Mother through three births, and she's also served several other concubines in the palace. I'll ask what can help pregnant women stop nausea. You can't not eat like this," the Fourth Prince said with concern.

Lanqin immediately thought to herself, "No, I mustn't provoke my mother-in-law!"

However, she also knew that this was the Fourth Master's good intention, and that he felt sorry for her seeing her like this, so she could only softly agree. Anyway, as long as he didn't send anyone over, it was still okay to ask about the food.

After the two rested for a while, Lanqin was woken up by the rumbling of her stomach.

Lanqin sat up abruptly and saw that Fourth Master was lying quietly on his side beside her.

Lanqin quietly got out of bed, then tiptoed to put on her shoes on the floor before gently leaving the bedroom.

Nianxue and Xicha were wiping the furniture outside when they saw Lanqin come out wearing only her underwear and without combing her hair.

"Princess, why don't you let me in to help you comb your hair and change your clothes?" Nianxue quickly put down the duster in her hand.

"Master is still asleep, let him sleep a little longer." Lanqin walked to the door, looked at the setting sun outside, and realized it must be past Shenshi (3-5 PM).

"Princess, the juice you wanted is ready. Would you like some to be brought in now?" Xicha asked.

"Go get some cardamom cakes, I'm hungry," Lanqin said.

When the two maids saw that she wanted to eat, they quickly went to get some. Lanqin then walked to the couch and sat down.

The two people carefully served Lanqin some snacks. They saw her take a small bite and then drink some sour orange juice. She took a few more bites, then a few more sips of grape juice, and showed no signs of vomiting.

Nianxue was finally relieved.

"Princess, would you like to try this? This is chestnut cake, and there's also lotus root starch cake." Xi Cha has grown up after all and knows to bring Lan Qin a variety of dishes to eat together.

"Don't eat too fast, or you'll throw up again later," Nianxue said.

Lanqin couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw the two little girls watching her eat, looking at her like she was watching a baby panda.

"Alright, take them away." Lanqin ate one piece of each and drank some juice, then dared not eat any more.

When the Fourth Prince got up, Lanqin had already picked several loofahs from under the loofah vines in her yard. Ever since she was confined to her quarters, she had cultivated this little vegetable garden. The Fourth Prince hadn't said anything; since the little princess liked it, he let her tend to it.

"When did you wake up? You didn't even call for me." Fourth Master stood at the door, watching the little princess dressed in a plain white jacket and a lake-blue pleated skirt, her arms, as white as mutton fat jade, picking fruits from the vines.

"So many loofahs, Master. Have the kitchen stir-fry them with eggs later. They'll be delicious." Lanqin said, scissors slicing the loofahs one by one, while Nianxue followed behind carrying a basket.

"Hmm, I love loofah, let Niu Baoquan make it." Fourth Master looked at the little princess's face in the soft sunlight and felt incredibly comfortable and peaceful.

He had never felt so at ease and comfortable with any other woman; only this little woman made him feel treated like a husband. She knew what he liked to eat and always remembered it sincerely, without thinking about family interests or seeking favor or advancement.
