Chapter 675: Fire in the Backyard
With Mr. Wang's promise, Jun Lie felt much more at ease.
Every night, the emperor, who had great power and influence in the court, would start massaging Xiao Jiuyue's legs!
"Mr. Wang, you are such an idiot. How can you live with your legs cramping every now and then?" In order to prevent Xiao Jiuyue from getting cramps, Jun Lie massaged her legs every day.
"There's nothing I can do about it. I'll just avoid taking medicine if I can." Xiao Jiuyue leaned on the soft cushion, watching Jun Lie massaging her legs seriously. Under the flickering candlelight, Jun Lie's handsome face looked even more handsome!
"Jun Lie, tell me, if the ministers in the court saw you like this, would their jaws drop in shock?" Xiao Jiuyue asked curiously, tilting her head.
He didn't just massage her occasionally, but ever since her belly got bigger and she started having cramps, Mr. Wang asked for a leg massage, so Jun Lie did it every night, rain or shine.
"Then they should all learn from me and stop thinking about the concubines at home." Jun Lie frowned slightly and said, "Yuer, you don't know that the scandals that happened in Master Liu's family are all due to the excessive number of women in the backyard!"
"Master Liu?"
Xiao Jiuyue immediately became curious. While enjoying the massage, she listened to Jun Lie talking about the fire in Lord Liu's backyard with great interest.
"Tomorrow is a day off, and Tingwu and Qinqin will both return to the palace. I feel like their demeanor has changed a lot since they started studying medicine, especially Qinqin."
Xiao Jiuyue said seriously: "Do you feel that?"
"That girl is so unruly all the time." Jun Lie used to be in the cold palace, and he was very disgusted with his brothers and sisters in the palace.
Whether it was the Crown Prince or the Second Prince, nothing they did in the past was good.
Ever since Jun Qin got attached to Xiao Jiuyue, she is not as afraid of him as before. Now her true colors are revealed: she is just a crazy person.
"Qinqin's personality is straightforward and honest. Otherwise, why do you think she was so popular with the Empress Dowager when she was in the palace?"
Xiao Jiuyue lay on her side on the bed, one hand resting on her head, and said, "Grandmother Huang has also experienced the bloody storms in the harem. She really likes a sincere and straightforward girl like Qinqin."
"That's right. Whatever he thinks about, it's all written on his face." Jun Lie agreed and asked, "Yuer, what do you think of General Qin and Qinqin?"
Jun Qin didn't say it, but every time she mentioned General Qin, her savior, she almost had the words "like", "care" and "attention" written on her face.
Especially regarding General Qin's affairs in Jinzhou, Jun Qin couldn't even cover it up, and the excuses he made were too poor.
"General Qin is a brave general, and Qinqin is a princess who grew up in the palace. I think the general and the princess are a perfect match." Xiao Jiuyue thought about the height difference between the two of them, which was very cute!
Jun Qin stood beside General Qin, she was petite and delicate, the embodiment of a little bird!
"However, this marriage cannot be forced. Isn't it still two years away? When General Qin returns to the capital, we can try to arrange it."
Xiao Jiuyue thought about this and said, "By the time I give birth, I'll have given birth. Can we prepare for the southern tour?"
"Mingzhou, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, lives up to its reputation. The silk there is really the best I have ever seen." Xiao Jiuyue said with emotion. The merchants in her second aunt's family are natural businessmen!
At first, they were almost disappearing without a trace. She just gave some pointers and taught some methods of dyeing various colors. Shang Ting was able to make the colors of these fabrics even more diverse!
The fabrics are getting better and better, with fabrics of various grades. Sometimes she has to sigh that her hands are so skillful!
"Well, General Qin is a brave general, and the merchant's fabrics are very good." Jun Lie's words made Xiao Jiuyue sit up straight. She stared at Jun Lie for a long time, sniffed at him and said, "Why does it smell sour to me?"
"Oh." Xiao Jiuyue blinked and said, "When the emperor, who was still the Third Prince, defeated the Yongzhao Army, he was ten times or even a hundred times more heroic than General Qin."
Jun Lie's face was visibly happy.
Xiao Jiuyue continued, "The merchant's fabrics are well made, but without a wise ruler like the emperor, no matter how good the fabrics are, they are useless."
Jun Lie's frowning brows completely relaxed.
Xiao Jiuyue stepped forward, pinched his face, and said, "Jun Lie, why are you like Little Star?"
Little Xingxing is a very small girl. Every time she gets close to Chaochao, she comes closer to her.
"Xiao Xingxing is my daughter, of course she takes after me." Jun Lie said proudly.
Xiao Jiuyue: "..."
Well, this father and daughter still need to be coaxed.
…
"Third sister-in-law."
"sister."
When Jun Qin and Xiao Tingwu returned to the palace and saw Xiao Jiuyue's belly, they automatically stopped in front of her and didn't dare to go any closer. They looked at each other, seeing each other's shock, and said, "It hasn't been long!"
"Half a month?" Xiao Tingwu said accurately. During the rest period, Xiao Tingwu would always follow Jun Qin into the palace to visit Xiao Jiuyue and chat with her.
Who would have thought, after only half a month of not seeing each other, I felt that Xiao Jiuyue's belly had grown bigger again.
"This is nothing. If it gets any later, I'm afraid it will get even bigger." Xiao Jiuyue supported her waist with one hand and lowered her head with the other hand. "I can't even see my feet now. The shoes I wear are one size bigger than before!"
Only after becoming a mother did I realize how difficult it is to be a mother.
Not to mention the hardship of pregnancy, the pain of childbirth, and the hardship of raising a child...
But it’s really not easy.
"Third sister-in-law, it's really not easy for you." Jun Qin carefully helped Xiao Jiuyue sit down in the garden and said, "Third sister-in-law, we went out for a free medical consultation a few days ago!"
"Yes, we went out with Elder Wang and split into several groups. Elder Wang said that we can now take a simple pulse!"
Xiao Tingwu said proudly that after learning for more than a year, they are now getting better and better at taking pulses.
"That's right." Xiao Jiuyue stretched out his hand and said, "Then take my pulse."
Jun Qin and Xiao Tingwu took turns taking the pulse. After they finished, they began to talk about various professional matters. The two of them discussed and concluded, "Sister-in-law Ren San, you are in good health. It's just that you are pregnant with twins now. It's best to eat less and move around more."
"Yes, during delivery, the baby was too big and difficult to deliver." Xiao Tingwu also added.
"It seems that your studies were not in vain." Xiao Jiuyue's lips curled slightly and said, "Now I take a walk every night."
"Empress, something bad has happened, Hua Qing is about to give birth!" The palace maid who was taking care of Hua Qing came over hurriedly.
Xiao Jiuyue immediately arranged, "Hurry up and send the midwife over. Qinqin, Tingwu, let's go over and take a look too."
