Chen Wei showed a simple smile, with an indifferent attitude, and deliberately said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I am in good health. My sister-in-law who used to live next door to me was able to go to work in the fields the day after giving birth - Caiping, bring me another bowl of iced yogurt, the colder the better."
Caiping silently went to get the ice cream.
King Yan: ...
Prince Yan rubbed his brows. His Weiwei was indeed different from his other wives and concubines, but this also made Prince Yan more worried.
Chen Wei likes to grow vegetables, swing on the swing, climb the ladder to see the bird's nest when she has nothing to do, go to the water to play, eat ice cream, and accompany him to have fun at night... Now that Chen Wei is pregnant, she must never do these laborious and harmful things again!
Unfortunately, this was Shen Wei’s first pregnancy and she had no idea about how to take care of herself during pregnancy.
Prince Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility - Weiwei doesn't know how to take care of herself during pregnancy, so he wants to teach her.
Prince Yan put down his chopsticks and instructed: "From now on, the dishes on the table should be replaced with dishes that are good for pregnancy and health."
Shen Wei was a little confused: "But in my hometown, the sisters-in-law in the village can work even when they are pregnant!"
Seeing her innocent look, the King of Yan wanted to teach her a lesson: "You are my woman, and you are carrying my child. How can my child suffer like that before it is born?"
Shen Wei nodded as if she understood, and then showed a sweet and trusting smile: "Your Majesty will definitely not harm me, I will follow your arrangements!"
King Yan felt a deep sense of pride in being trusted by the woman he loved.
Seeing Shen Wei give up the fried meatballs and obediently drink a bowl of bird's nest porridge, King Yan was quite satisfied.
After dinner, Shen Wei took King Yan to the waterside pavilion to cool off. The moonlight is bright, the breeze is blowing, and the lotus pond brings bursts of fragrance. Shen Wei leaned against the railing and reached out to pick the fresh green lotus pods.
Prince Yan's eyelids twitched as he watched.
Other pregnant wives and concubines took good care of themselves during their pregnancies and walked cautiously. Chen Wei was so good, she was lying on the railing picking lotus pods! What if you fall into the water and catch a cold, and something happens to the baby in your belly?
"Don't move, accompany me to enjoy the cool air." King Yan carried Shen Wei back and pressed her on the chair beside him.
Chen Wei's eyes widened: "I picked a lotus pod! I want to peel lotus seeds for the prince."
Look how thoughtful she is. Even when she was pregnant, she personally picked lotus pods for King Yan.
Prince Yan stroked her still flat belly and said, "The first three months of pregnancy are the most unstable, so don't do anything reckless."
Shen Wei raised her willow-shaped eyebrows slightly, and then looked at King Yan in admiration, her eyes sparkling: "Your Majesty, you are a man, I didn't expect you to know so much about women's pregnancy, Your Majesty is really knowledgeable!"
The corners of Prince Yan's lips curled up.
Being admired and trusted by the woman you love, the sense of accomplishment is so great.
The cool night breeze blew, and Chen Wei obediently accompanied King Yan to enjoy the cool air. The King of Yan was troubled by his pregnant wives and concubines, and he subconsciously memorized a lot of knowledge about women's pregnancy. So, he put his knowledge into practice and told Shen Wei about the precautions that women should take during pregnancy. Shen Wei listened with admiration and praised him from time to time.
Men all have a common problem: they all think they are very smart and don't like women who are smarter than them.
Shen Wei pretended not to understand and got King Yan to actively participate in her pregnancy protection work. Prince Yan felt a sense of participation and accomplishment, and he also developed feelings for the child in Shen Wei's belly.
After all, the child was the result of King Yan's personal "cultivation".
Just like the vegetables he planted in the vegetable garden, King Yan developed feelings for the things he had put in effort for.
...
While Prince Yan and Shen Wei were chatting in the waterside pavilion, under the cover of night, Cai Lian was walking back to the Glazed Pavilion carrying a box of cakes.
Passing by the garden, Cailian met Xuemei, the maid of Qixue Pavilion.
"Xuemei, where are you going so late?" Cailian took the initiative to greet her.
The two were old acquaintances, having worked together in the palace as maids. Xuemei was lucky. Because there was a word "Mei" in her name, she was chosen by Liu Ruyan of Qixue Pavilion to serve as a maid.
Cai Lian was unlucky. She had no background or connections, so she could only be assigned to serve as a low-ranking concubine in the mansion. Her masters changed one after another until Cai Lian was assigned to serve Chen Wei, and her life finally became stable.
"It's Sister Cailian." Xuemei forced a smile.
Cai Lian saw that she had a worried look on her face, so she asked kindly, "Xue Mei, did Concubine Liu give you a hard time?"
Xuemei sighed helplessly and told the story.
It turned out that Xuemei couldn't stand the mosquito bites so much that she secretly took a bath with mugwort and carried a mosquito repellent sachet with her. Unexpectedly, the scent of mugwort was smelled by Liu Ruyan today.
Liu Ruyan didn't like the smell, so she asked Xuemei to go back and take a bath, and also rewarded her with a box of "plum blossom ointment".
The plum blossom ointment has an elegant smell, but it really doesn't repel mosquitoes...
Cai Lian thought for a moment and gave a suggestion: "You should bathe with mint leaves, put some angelica and camphor in the sachet, and apply a layer of plum blossom ointment on the outside to cover up the smell."
Xuemei nodded helplessly, looking at Cailian's round and fair face, and envied from the bottom of her heart: "It can only be like this. I really envy you for following a good master. Now that Master Shen is pregnant, the favor will only be greater."
Among the maids and servants in the palace now, who doesn't want to work in Liuli Pavilion? Shen Wei is a rare good master. As long as you work hard, Shen Wei will definitely reward you.
Cai Lian raised the corner of her mouth: "Yes, my master is indeed a rare good master. It's getting late, and I still need to bring some snacks back."
Cailian and Xuemei bid farewell.
Walking under the bright moonlight, Cai Lian returned to the Liuli Pavilion. Looking at the beautiful fish lanterns on the eaves of the Glazed Pavilion, Cai Lian felt an indescribable sense of pride and satisfaction in her heart.
When she was assigned to the remote Fangfei Garden, Cailian had a prejudice against Shen Wei. But now, Cai Lian likes to follow Chen Wei more and more.
