Fu Ciyi said calmly, "The fruits from that orange tree are really sweet. Ningning likes to pick them and eat them."
"There are so many sweet orange trees out there. Why don't you just buy two new ones?"
I have to trouble him with such a small matter.
"The main thing is that the two trees have developed feelings for each other."
Yan Xinghe couldn't help but raise his voice: "Trees can have feelings?"
Fu Ciyi's voice remained steady: "Ningning has feelings for those two trees."
"So that's the case." Yan Xinghe's tone slowed down and he turned to look at his sister. "Since you like those two orange trees, I will send someone to dig them up in a few days."
"Okay." Yan Funing pursed her lips and smiled.
Fu Ciyi said calmly, "Send people? We have plenty of people in my palace. Doesn't it depend on how careful Second Uncle is?"
"Okay." Yan Xinghe felt like he was being tricked. "I'll personally lead the team to dig it out, okay?"
"Thank you so much, second uncle." Fu Ciyi expressed his gratitude.
Yan Xinghe sneered.
As the three were talking, Zhen Yuan, who was standing beside Yan Honghou, came hurriedly over.
Seeing Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing, he quickened his pace, bowing as he walked, "Second uncle, Second Miss, Second Master."
"You are the one who is close to the eldest brother, why are you acting so rashly?" Yan Xinghe was just venting his anger, and when he saw that Zhen Yuan was not well-mannered, he scolded him.
Zhen Yuan reported, "Second Master, please forgive me. The Crown Prince's wife has been suffering from abdominal pain for a day, and the pain is becoming increasingly unbearable. The Crown Prince is extremely worried and has sent his subordinates to the Rui Palace to invite the Princess. When my subordinates saw the Second Uncle and the Second Miss here, they were so happy that they forgot about etiquette."
"Sister-in-law, are you having abdominal pain?" Yan Funing calculated the duration of Zeng Kerou's pregnancy and hurriedly asked, "Have you called a midwife?"
"Yes, we have already hired two experienced midwives. We hired them early this morning." Zhen Yuan answered truthfully.
"Okay, I'll go take a look." Yan Funing hurried towards Nanyuan.
Several people followed.
Yan Xinghe asked, "You invited me in the early morning, why didn't I hear about it this morning?"
You know, the sister-in-law's childbirth is a big event for the entire Duke's Mansion.
After all, among the three brothers, only the eldest brother got married, so the burden of having children for their family fell on the eldest brother and his wife.
"The Second Young Master had to attend the morning court and then the Imperial Academy. He was busy with official duties, so the Crown Prince didn't ask us to discuss the matter." Zhen Yuan said, "The Third Young Master was busy at the military camp and didn't know about it either."
The group walked in a hurry.
When they arrived at Yan Honghou and Zeng Kerou's courtyard, many people were already waiting there.
The two concubine grandmothers, Xu and Wen, sat on one side with Hong Qingyi, and the second and third wives and their respective daughters-in-law were also on the other side.
Yan Honghou paced anxiously outside the house.
Seeing Yan Funing coming over, Yan Honghou immediately went to greet her: "Sister, please help me think of a solution. Your sister-in-law has been in pain for a whole day."
Before Yan Funing could say anything, the Second Madam spoke up, "Which woman wouldn't feel pain when giving birth?"
Hong Qingyi said, "If my second brother's wife is busy, she can go back to the West Garden."
As if being driven away, Second Madam Zhang suppressed her annoyance and immediately stood up: "I still have some things to do in the West Garden. I will go back and take a look. I will come back at night."
"There are some things happening in Beiyuan, sister-in-law, I will go back to take a look." The third wife, Mrs. Miao, also stood up.
Hong Qingyi responded indifferently, and she didn't even glance at the second and third wives as they left.
"Our two sons have been raised astray, and even their wives don't listen to us." Xu and Hong Qingyi said, "I hope you won't be offended."
"Don't blame me, it's my daughter-in-law who is giving birth today."
It's okay for her to feel sorry for herself.
Outside the courtyard at this moment.
Zhang lowered her voice, "I just came to see if the baby was a boy or a girl. I've been waiting all afternoon and there's been no news. I've been wanting to leave for a long time."
Miu also said, "Me too."
As they spoke, they each looked at their daughter-in-law, their eyes falling on their bellies.
I really didn't expect that my daughter-in-law's belly would not cooperate and she couldn't even get pregnant.
In the courtyard now.
Hong Qingyi stood up and took Yan Funing's hand, her voice anxious: "This is Kerou's first child, and the first child is always difficult. Son, please help me think of a way. She's weak, how can we give her some strength?"
"Don't worry, mother." Yan Funing said softly, "I'll go take a look first."
Xu said, "Let me tell you, the princess has never given birth before, so she has no experience."
Wen agreed: "Yes."
Fu Ciyi, who was following behind, complained in his heart, isn’t it just a lack of experience?
Tonight was the night they had agreed to meet...
Looking at the current situation, I wonder if they can return to the palace and accomplish their mission smoothly tonight?
Yan Funing smiled and said, "My two step-grandmothers, I'm going to go see my eldest sister-in-law first."
After saying that, he followed Zeng Kerou's maid into the house.
Yan Xinghe and Fu Ciyi walked up to Hong Qingyi one after another.
"Mother."
"mother in law."
"It's just right that you're here. Please help me persuade him."
Seeing that her eldest son was extremely anxious and didn't know how to comfort him, Hong Qingyi had no choice but to ask the men to talk to him.
Yan Xinghe and Fu Ciyi invited Yan Honghou to the corridor, one on each side.
"How can I not be anxious?" Yan Honghou rubbed his hands and squeezed them, "She's in so much pain..."
Suddenly, there was a shouting sound from inside the house, and Yan Xinghe and Fu Ciyi looked at each other.
"It's quite difficult for a woman to give birth. It's said to be very painful." Yan Xinghe said, "It's said that the pain is unbearable for men."
Hearing this, Yan Honghou became even more anxious: "Does it really hurt that much?"
"Yeah." Yan Xinghe nodded, "If you don't believe me, ask my brother-in-law."
