Lu gave birth to the siblings Su Wenxuan and Su Yujin, so she understood the hardships involved and couldn't help nagging Su Yujin.
Su Yujin naturally understood the worries and distress that Lu was feeling as a mother, so she just held Lu's hand and said, "Don't worry, mother. I was originally a doctor, and now I have Doctor Xue to take care of me. The old lady and mother-in-law treat me very well, and the queen specially sent two experienced aunts to take care of me."
"The old lady and the lady take good care of you, and the queen loves you very much. Everyone can see it." Mrs. Lu nodded repeatedly.
When she and Su Yunruo first arrived here, they happened to meet a middleman from the dental clinic and asked him a few questions casually.
The middleman asked to recommend a few cooks who could make snacks, and also started to look for a wet nurse to feed the child.
Su Yujin was still some time away from giving birth, so it was a little too early to start looking for a wet nurse. But this was enough to show that Mrs. He was very concerned about Su Yujin's pregnancy and was afraid of missing anything.
As a mother, she felt extremely relieved that her child was held in the palm of her hand and loved by others.
Su Yujin also smiled and pulled Mrs. Lu to ask about what had happened at home in the past few days.
Ask my father and elder brother if they are busy these days.
"Your father is still the same as usual, which is nothing special, but he has been very busy with the propaganda department recently and has not been seen for a long time."
Hearing what Mrs. Lu said, Su Yujin's smile deepened. "My eldest brother has just been promoted, and the Ministry of Rites has a lot of things to do. This is unavoidable."
In addition, she heard from Lu Wenjing, who came to accompany her at home, that the Fifth Princess seemed to be very busy these days, and even Lu Wenjing couldn't see her when she entered the palace to look for her.
I guess these two people are busy together? "It should be." Mrs. Lu nodded, "I heard him and your father often mentioned Yan Xiu's name when they were chatting recently. I think it's something about the court."
Then he smiled and said, "This is their business, just let them be busy. I am most concerned about this person right now. He must behave well in your belly and be a filial child."
Hearing Mrs. Lu mention this, Su Yujin couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth again and again, and her hands unconsciously rested on her lower abdomen.
The pregnancy is only a month old at this point, so strictly speaking it is not a baby in the belly, but just a developing embryo, whose hands and feet have not even fully grown out.
The tiny one will grow slowly in her belly, take shape, develop fully, and finally mature and become a complete baby.
And this baby will grow up day by day, becoming a babbling, toddling child, and then a spirited teenager or girl...
Speaking of which, she suddenly couldn't imagine what her and He Yanxiu's child would look like.
Will he be more like her, or more like He Yanxiu? I don't know what his personality will be like.
Is it lively, quiet, or steady?
But no matter what, you must not be as thick-skinned as He Yanxiu! Su Yujin was thinking this way, and he didn't even notice that He Yanxiu was sitting next to him with a starry face.
He Yanxiu reached out and pinched her cheek, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?"
"Nothing." Su Yujin smiled and leaned into his arms. "I'm just thinking about what our child will look like in the future."
"It doesn't matter what form it takes." He Yanxiu replied with a smile and touched Su Yujin's lower abdomen.
The pregnancy is still early, the belly is still quite flat, and there is no visible fetal movement.
But this did not prevent He Yanxiu from feeling the future little life. Every time he touched it, the smile on his face deepened.
After a moment, he sat up straight, took out a stack of silver bills from his arms and gave them to Su Yujin.
"This is……"
Su Yujin didn't look at it closely, but just by squeezing it she knew that the stack of banknotes was not thin and must be worth several hundred taels.
"It was a reward from the Emperor." He Yanxiu replied with a smile.
"Another reward from the Emperor?" Su Yujin tilted her head.
During this period, He Yanxiu brought back money every now and then and gave it to him to keep. It was money earned from business, debts owed from outside, and the largest amount was the reward from the emperor.
Su Yujin didn't quite understand how well He Yanxiu had done in government affairs to make the emperor so happy and praise him. He Yanxiu didn't think so, and just smiled and said, "If the emperor is happy, he will inevitably be more generous."
Su Yujin blinked when she heard that.
He didn't mention anything specific, he just said that the emperor was happy, so the money...
It must be coming with shamelessness!
The Second Master is indeed greedy and shameless! Children in the future really cannot be too much like He Yanxiu!
By August, the weather had become a little cooler in the mornings and evenings.
Su Yujin was already three months pregnant. Although her pregnancy was not yet fully apparent, her waist looked much rounder than before.
And three months later, when the fetus was stable, Su Yujin's appetite was better than before. She was not picky about food. She wanted to eat everything she saw and stuff it all into her stomach.
In order to avoid becoming a fat girl by eating like this, Su Yujin deliberately controlled her food intake and insisted on getting a certain amount of exercise every day to ensure her good health during pregnancy.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the imperial edict was issued, granting the marriage between Qin Peiyou and Su Yunruo, and the wedding date was set for May of the following year.
The marriage was granted, and everyone's original speculation became a reality. The Su family was going to have a crown princess, the future empress, which also made the Su family a popular and prestigious family in the entire capital.
Many people came to congratulate them, and for a while, the Su family's house was crowded with people and bustling with activity.
However, Su Shaoyuan ordered the door to be closed tightly, and all those who came to deliver gifts were to be received by the doorman, and all the gifts were politely declined.
Some people who wanted to curry favor with Lu saw that this approach didn't work, so they found various ways to send invitations, inviting Lu to visit them.
Lu's explanation to the public was that he had caught a cold and should not go out.
Some people understand that the Su family is now avoiding suspicion. They don't want to attract attention, and they don't want to make the emperor suspicious. They think that the Su family is taking advantage of the opportunity to form a clique for personal gain. Seeing this, they no longer insist and only consider whether they can get a chance to make friends with them in the future.
Some people, after being politely rejected, held a grudge in their hearts and secretly said behind the Su family's backs that they were arrogant and looked down on others, and that they were acting so conceited and looking down on others because they had a future Crown Princess.
These rumors, fanned by jealous people, drifted with the wind like autumn rain to the streets and alleys of the capital, and passed by the ears of almost everyone.
But a few days later, the attention of the entire capital was attracted by another incident.
Minister Liu of the Ministry of Justice was thrown into prison for crimes such as favoritism, bending the law for personal gain, accepting bribes, and dereliction of duty, and will soon be exiled to the northwest.
