Several old women in the village were watching, and Shan Shi openly talked about menstrual cramps?

Gong Yun has already torn it open.

Some even thought that dying in pain was a small matter compared to losing one's chastity, and they took out knives to kill her.

Now, for her daughter's sake, Madam Hong suddenly understood: "Her Majesty is truly compassionate!"

An old woman sighed, "If they still care about their own daughters and granddaughters, who will care about others? Some girls have no one to teach them, and who knows how much hardship they will suffer!"

Look at that girl who's listening the most attentively. She has no mother, no milk, and a younger sister.

She was very patient and kind, and resolved every problem she raised.

The girl understood and knelt down to kowtow to the benevolent servant and the goddess.

The shrew quickly helped her up, saying, "It will get better in the future. If there's anything you don't understand..."

Zhou replied, "Come find me!"

The old lady also said, "No matter what it is, come to me. Although there are some things I don't understand now, I won't leave you with nowhere to talk. Our lives are getting better and better."

A village woman shouted, "This year's harvest is another bumper crop, let's dry it!"

"I've never been this dark before!"

"No one has ever taught me like this before."

The girl over there shouted, "The goddess is even giving out candy!"

She patiently explained, "Don't be tempted. Drinking this brown sugar for a few days will make you feel much better. It's hot today, so it won't keep well. I'll send you some more if I have any later."

A girl shouted, "Why don't I have any?"

Gong Yun explained, "Charity is mainly aimed at those who are not in good circumstances. It's not unfair to girls who are in good circumstances. In the future, if possible, women won't have to worry about this."

It's uncertain when that possibility will materialize, but it's much easier to reach Sheng'an Prefecture.

One of the villagers, who was well-off, said, "Just this one set, right? It'll cost three to five qian (a unit of currency). A cheaper one would be even cheaper. I'll make fifty sets for the village." He added, "The finished ones!"

Everyone praised her for her kind heart!

Gong Yun finished her work in Daxing Village relatively smoothly, and after packing up, she was ready to head to the next village.

Everyone hurriedly tried to stop them.

Zhou asked, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Gong Yun smiled and said, "We brought some food. It's the Empress's birthday, and she'll treat us to something nice then."

The village woman wasn't stupid: "It's too hard, in this sweltering heat!"

The old lady sighed, "Others receive gifts on their birthdays, but when it comes to Lady Huan's birthday, she gives them away."

Gong Yun smiled and said, "As long as the world is good and the emperor is good, that is the best gift for Your Majesty."

The villagers knelt down and shouted, "Long live the Emperor! Long live Empress Huan!"

The Crown Prince had nothing to do with it, so he probably didn't care.

Gong Yun drove away, and finally a breeze brought some coolness.

It's actually quite awkward to let someone skilled teach this kind of thing.

However, considering how many women's problems this can solve, it is clearly a good deed!

Doing charity is difficult, and there's so much more to say about this, but the Charity Department has no choice but to continue.

Perhaps one day, if the Great Zhao truly becomes better, they will have contributed to that.

Qing'e Palace.

Huan Yue, heavily pregnant, sighed and suffered.

I want to give birth as soon as possible, but it's not easy to have a postpartum period in this hot weather.

It's said that the real suffering begins after delivery. During pregnancy, you long for delivery; after delivery, you wish you could put it back in.

Xie Zhou would come back to visit his wife whenever he had free time.

Huan Yue really wanted to cut his hair; there had to be a first one, right?

However, she dared not do anything too drastic and had to take it slowly, perhaps when she was pregnant with her second child.

Why does Xie Zhou seem so distracted by his wife?

Now that it's hot and it gets dark late, Gong Yun and her group didn't return until it was completely dark.

Gong Yun tidied herself up briefly and, accompanied by her attendant, came to pay her respects to the Empress.

Huan Yue sat in the Jixian Pavilion, looking at the several young beauties, and his heart softened: "You've all worked hard."

The envoy laughed and cried at the same time: "It's alright, compared to the hardship of a good harvest in the fields, we're much better off here. However, there are a few villages that, after hearing the news, deliberately blocked us from entering."

Xie Zhou nodded in acknowledgment.

Gong Yun understood that the Empress didn't need to worry about this matter.

Dealing with those that have many problems is also quite easy.

Huan Yue was lazy and seemed fine.

Gong Yun simply reported to the Empress: "The Liu family in Caoshe Village considers themselves a family of scholars and farmers, and they have certain quirks. Old Scholar Liu even said that he dares not disrespect Empress Huan, but he also forbids anyone from influencing the Liu family. Does this mean Caoshe Village is the Liu family's territory?"

A palace attendant ran up to report: "We have found out that the old scholar Liu's grandson is having an affair with his concubine, and his youngest son may be his grandson's son."

That's really hard to believe.

Xie Zhou said, "Let's get this done first thing tomorrow morning."

The eunuch understood.

It's not always such a coincidence, but there are quite a few of these kinds of cases.

An old scholar dared to occupy a village and act as its king, challenging the imperial court.

Cat interjected, "Perhaps we can find out something else."

The eunuch naturally followed the instructions without implicating the Crown Prince. There was no shame in it.

Huan Yue said smugly, "There's probably a group of old fogies blocking my way."

Xie Zhou took his wife away.

On this sweltering day, Huan Yue stopped talking to him.

An ice basin could be placed inside the palace, but there were concerns it might be bad for the child. So the Crown Prince took care of her and held her to shield her from the wind and rain.

Gong Yun and Shan Shi are alright now, but they still have things to do when they get back.

Regardless, we still need to send out these 10,000 portions.

I don't know the pain his mother felt giving birth to him; I'd rather his mother had died from the pain.

But his mother might not be happy. It's easy to criticize others, but when it comes to suffering herself, she'll do anything as long as there's a chance to survive.

Gong Yun has traveled to many places and witnessed the suffering of many girls. Helping even one girl is considered an act of kindness.

As for what happens to the girl who was helped in the future, it's not her fault. We can deal with the problems as they arise!

The Chengen Hall looks even more comfortable than before.

It is essential to keep Huan Yue in the best possible mood.

However, Huan Yue was a man who had died.

I'm carrying my own child now, not raising someone else's.

She's much more tolerant of scoundrels.

Xie Zhou thought his wife was the absolute best!

Even during her pregnancy, she didn't lose her figure; in fact, she became even more beautiful! This kind of graceful and dignified demeanor can probably only be found in someone who has given birth and has also given birth to themselves.

Women shouldn't always feel it's difficult. Just like giving birth once can reduce the chances of getting sick, having gone through the experience makes life more fulfilling. Heaven never treats anyone unfairly.

However, some things are inconspicuous; if you don't pick them up, they will disappear over time.

Huan Yue, dressed in a thin gauze dress, lay on the couch.

Xie Zhou lay down beside her.

The window outside was open, and a breeze was blowing in.

Xie Zhou placed his hand on his wife's belly and could feel that his son was playing with him again.

It's like a child kicking with their feet, right? It's like tickling your palm.

Whether it's a foot or a hand, we don't know.

Huan Yue felt that her son shouldn't play with the umbilical cord, as long as he didn't do handstands.

Xie Zhou took the book and started reading.

It's best for the father to teach the child during pregnancy, so that the father and son will be close in the future. Even if the father beats the child, it will be for the child's own good.

This is probably a case of "courtesy first, then force."

Xie Zhou's voice was very pleasant, and his wife fell asleep in no time.
