Yun Qingluo knew that the old nanny had declined the Empress Dowager's invitation to come to the Prince's residence, and she felt a little guilty about it.

Even though they only came because of the baby in her womb, she is the child's mother, so she should at least thank them.

When Granny Gong heard Yun Qingluo express her gratitude, she waved her hand dismissively, "This old servant has received kindness from the Prince's mother. When the Prince was a child in the palace, this old servant wanted to help him, but the Prince was too sensible. He knew that anyone who helped him would not have a good ending, so he spoke coldly to this old servant in an attempt to make her back down..."

But this old servant has no children, only an old body left, how could I be afraid of death? When the prince saw that I wouldn't listen to his advice, he assured me, "Don't worry, nanny, I won't die, so please live well too. If I have children in the future, I will definitely trouble you to help take care of them." I knew what the prince meant, so I never went to see the young prince again. Later... I waited and waited... Finally, this day has come..."

Yun Qingluo felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this. She knew that Achen had suffered greatly in the palace when he was young, but fortunately, the palace maid had given Achen a glimmer of warmth back then.

Yun Qingluo felt a pang of regret. Why hadn't she been kinder to Achen when she saved him? She hated herself for losing her memory, for making Achen wait for her for so many years and suffer for her sake.

The day after Granny Gong arrived, she woke Yun Qingluo up early in the morning and told her to go for a walk.

"Your Highness, walking around more will improve your strength and make childbirth less painful," said Granny Gong, standing by the bed and pulling Yun Qingluo's arm.

Yun Tao and Yun Xin watched from the sidelines with smug expressions.

Previously, when the princess's mother learned that the princess was pregnant, she specially came to the mansion to stay for a few days to take care of the princess.

As she left, she kept reminding the princess to walk around more and not to stay in bed too long.

But the princess ignored her completely. As soon as the lady left, the princess continued to eat and sleep as usual, and asking her to go out for a few steps was like taking her life.

This caused Yun Tao and Yun Xin a lot of distress.

Now that someone can cure the princess's habit of sleeping in, they are much more relaxed and no longer have to think of ways to coax Yun Qingluo out of bed every day.

For the next two weeks, Yun Qingluo suffered terribly.

I was woken up by the palace maid on time every morning and taken for a walk in the garden, which lasted for half an hour.

Although she was walking slowly, she was exhausted from going out for a stroll before dawn, like a wronged child. But she couldn't argue with the old woman who seemed to be doing everything for her own good.

After all, they had offended the Empress Dowager to take care of him, so he couldn't refuse their kindness.

After returning from a walk, we eat breakfast, and then I'm made to practice music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, supposedly to cultivate my character and help the fetus's physical and mental health.

Yun Qingluo secretly complained to Yun Tao that she didn't even know if her body had grown back, so how could she be healthy in body and mind?

However, she really didn't expect that Granny Gong, an ancient person, would also know about prenatal education.

After all, in her previous life, she suffered from uterine coldness and infertility because she jumped into an icy lake on her wedding night, so she never had the chance to have Granny Gong personally take care of her during her pregnancy.

When noon arrives, after lunch and digestion, it's time for a midday nap. In the afternoon, I'll go fishing, admire flowers, practice calligraphy, and review my accounts.

Even though Yun Qingluo was very hungry, Granny Gong still kept an eye on her, telling her not to eat too much for dinner and to go for a walk to aid digestion afterward.

After half a month of this ordeal, Yun Qingluo's energy and spirits improved considerably, and her complexion became healthier. Although she was a bit thin, Granny Gong said that women always gain weight during their postpartum period, so being thinner now was actually a good thing.

Yun Qingluo dared not refute, after all, she had naively refuted it before, but for every word she said, Granny Gong would always have ten or a hundred grand principles waiting for her.

While she was blushing with embarrassment, the other woman remained calm and composed. "Your Highness, I know that what I am doing will displease you, but for the health of Your Highness and the unborn child, I must do this."

"Your Highness should give up on this idea as soon as possible. Even if the Prince, General Yun, and Madam Yun come, it won't make a difference. If Your Highness doesn't believe me, we can go to the General's Mansion and tell Madam Yun about Your Highness's desire to climb trees and pick flowers. If she thinks it's acceptable, this old servant will no longer interfere with Your Highness's food or clothing from now on."

Yun Qingluo's face showed bitterness. "Seriously? If her mother knew she was pregnant and still thinking about climbing trees, she'd definitely punish her severely."

Her whole family is very fierce.

Yun Qingluo felt that her very bones were screaming for freedom.

Yun Qingluo was extremely bored and asked the nanny why she didn't teach her those court etiquette rules.

The palace maid said that she was currently pregnant and could not practice court etiquette, so she could only learn other things to pass the time.

Yun Qingluo saw through it but didn't say anything. After all, her etiquette and manners were taught one-on-one by Granny Gong. She clearly stopped teaching her because she saw that her etiquette and manners were up to standard.

However, being watched while practicing music, chess, calligraphy, and painting was too boring.

Yun Qingluo was extremely irritable and had a terrible headache every day, but she couldn't fight with Granny Gong, so she could only endure it.

"Your Highness, it's time to get up. Although it's still dark outside, the air is fresh. Taking a walk in the garden will be good for you and the baby."

"Your Highness, you can't eat this. What are the people in the kitchen doing? Your Highness can't eat spicy food anymore, don't you know?"

The spicy dish that Yun Qingluo had painstakingly prepared through Yun Tao's efforts was taken away by Granny Gong.

Yun Qingluo reached out to try and persuade her to stay, "Granny, it's really okay to eat a little less."

The palace maid disapproved, saying, "Your Highness mustn't act recklessly. There are so many chilies. Eating too much spicy food can easily cause the baby's skin to turn red. If it's a boy, that's fine, but what if it's a girl? How ugly she would be!"

The clouds could only fall, so the plan had to be abandoned.

She felt that Granny Gong was being a bit too cautious. After all, the saying "sour for a boy, spicy for a girl" wasn't entirely unfounded. Now that she was eating a bland diet every day, she herself didn't know whether she craved sour or spicy food.

That's exactly the effect that Granny Gong wanted.

“Nowadays, there are spies all around the Prince’s mansion. If they find something to use against us because of our food, it will be troublesome.”

Yun Qingluo said, "They say sour foods indicate a boy and spicy foods indicate a girl. If I eat more spicy food, I can dispel their suspicions."

In ancient times, when sons were favored over daughters, those men probably wouldn't have been so eager to have a daughter.

Granny Gong shook her head. "Well, you can't say that. Whether it's a boy or a girl, as long as it's the prince's child, they won't let it go. This old servant just wants to make them rack their brains to guess. We can't always be on edge. We have to make them put in some effort too."

The clouds tilted down, "..."

I never would have guessed, Granny, you were quite the hidden talent.

But she was the one suffering. Her mouth was bland and tasteless every day, and she felt like she was losing consciousness.

Yun Qingluo always looked miserable, but Yun Tao and Yun Xin could tell that she was actually enjoying it; she was probably experiencing both pain and pleasure.

After all, how could it not feel good to have someone who cares about you, protects you, and loves you?
