Chapter 350 Taking the Pulse
April arrived in the blink of an eye, and the weather had already gotten warm. Ye Wan was exactly one month pregnant.
Aside from the occasional strong smell of cooking oil at the beginning, she seemed to have no other symptoms. Her abdomen was flat, and she looked great; you couldn't tell she was pregnant.
The villages and farmlands were planned last year according to local conditions. Ye Wan distributed the booklets, and the people below could take care of the problems. If they couldn't solve them, they could come to her to report.
As a result, I ended up having some free time.
With nothing else to do, Ye Wan reads all sorts of random books, and recently she's become obsessed with books on industrial transportation.
Sitting in this chair, with the sun shining warmly on me, it's incredibly comfortable.
"Madam, a letter has arrived."
A guard jumped down from the tree and placed a letter on the table next to Ye Wan.
After giving her bodyguards to Daya, Lin Suyi sent her two more, and two more maids who knew martial arts, whom Lin Anyuan had found.
There are also the people chosen by Hui-gu.
Ye Wan was surrounded by countless people serving her; what an extravagant life!
After seeing the contents of the letter, Ye Wan sat up abruptly.
Just then, Huigu brought over the soup she was making for Ye Wan and saw it. "Madam, why do you have that expression?"
Ye Wan gritted her teeth, "Our family's best cabbage has been eaten by a pig."
The letter said that Chu Xiujie was interested in Daya and was currently flaunting his feelings like a peacock.
"That shameless old man, doesn't he even look in the mirror and see how old he is? How dare he, an old cow eating young grass? And Lin Anyuan! Look at the mess he's made!"
Ye Wan's first reaction was that Chu Xiujie was old, seven years older than Da Ya. How could he be so shameless as to date a young girl?
Huigu said, "Master hasn't returned from the camp outside the capital yet, and Madam is the eldest daughter..."
"That scoundrel Chu Xiujie harbors treacherous intentions!"
Ye Wan slammed her hand on the table. "I'm going to Jiangnan."
Chu Xiujie has been traveling for so many years, he probably can't even count how many women he's met.
Daya, a naive young girl, was no match for this seasoned veteran.
Even rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows, what is this person thinking?
Chu Xiujie is fine as a friend, but if he were to become her son-in-law, Ye Wan would feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.
Huigu said in a low voice, "Madam, it's best if you don't go at this critical juncture."
The princes are fighting fiercely; what if Ye Wan goes out and gets taken hostage...?
Don't overestimate human nature; people will come up with any means to gain power and influence.
"This is so annoying! Why does my father-in-law have to take in so many adopted sons?" Ye Wan suddenly became irritable.
Originally, everything was fine, and we could just sit back and enjoy our wealth and luxury. But now we're going to start fighting again.
"The results should be available before the end of the year. Apart from these conflicts, the princes have done quite well in other aspects. If we only consider their talents in certain areas, they are indeed quite capable." Hui Gu lowered her voice.
"Madam, power is the best thing for a man; few can resist its temptation."
Even those who followed Emperor Jing, even his adopted sons, were not useless.
"Alright, Aunt, I'll trouble you to investigate Chu Xiujie. I need to go to the palace."
Ye bent up.
"Madam, please have some soup first."
"That's too much, I can't finish it all, Auntie, let's split it in half."
Huigu did not refuse; only those who have tasted the soup know how good it is.
Over the years, she has even seemed to grow younger with age; the lady is like a fairy from heaven.
The best decision I ever made was staying with the Lin family to retire.
This time, Hui Gu went to the palace with Ye Wan. She had some capable people under her, so Cha Chuxiujie didn't need to investigate personally.
Ye Wan went to find Lin Suyi, bringing a few fresh mountain apricots. Hui Gu came to the side hall to talk to Qin Gu.
Naturally, it was with the permission of their master.
"Ahui, how come you seem to get younger and younger all these years? Your hair has even turned black again?"
When Qin Gu saw Hui Gu, she was extremely surprised.
When Huigu left the Prince's Mansion, they met once. At that time, she was still very thin and her hair was half white.
Now she's actually gotten rounder, her hair is black, and she looks energetic and younger than ever.
Hui Gu smiled and said, "You have the nerve to say that to me? Aren't you the same? What, are you having such a good time these days?"
Qin Gu laughed, "Isn't it good? Following the mistress and the lady, one can enjoy endless riches and honors."
It's a pity the other two didn't live to see this day, and neither of them mentioned it.
Then they started chatting about everyday things, and inevitably their master came up in conversation.
Hui Gu laughed, "Madam most wants to eat and drink and live a life of luxury. She is thinking that in the future she will travel around to see the beautiful rivers and mountains of our Great Xia. I will definitely go with her when the time comes."
Her words were the master's will. Lin Anyuan and Ye Wan had no intention of seizing power; they were only loyal to Emperor Jing.
"Then you're really in luck!"
Qin Gu naturally understood, and her smile deepened.
If nothing unexpected happens, Consort Jing is carrying a prince.
At that time, the Lin family's wealth and prosperity for the next few decades will be secured.
Ye Wan felt quite wealthy at this moment, but after reading the letter today, she still felt uneasy.
"Your Majesty, have you been feeling unwell lately?"
Ye Wan placed the apricots in front of Lin Suyi.
Lin Suying's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly picked one up and ate it. After swallowing the bite, she said, "I don't feel uncomfortable at all. It's been moving around in my belly every day these past few days, which reminds me of when I was pregnant with Yuan'er."
Lin Suying was beautiful in a gentle and serene way. She didn't want to eat the last one, wanting to save it for Emperor Jing.
She didn't ask where Ye Wan's apricots came from, guessing they were from some hot spring resort; in any case, they were delicious.
Frequent fetal movements.
Ye Wan subconsciously placed her hand on Lin Suyi's stomach.
Lin Suyi paused for a moment, then relaxed her body. "Hey, I just moved around a bit, didn't I feel energetic?"
Ye Wan felt the movement in her belly, "How can it be so strong? Have someone call the imperial physician to take a look."
"Perhaps this pregnancy is more vigorous." Lin Suyi smiled. "The imperial physician comes every day to check on the baby's condition. After the pregnancy stabilized, I only asked him to come every two days. He just came yesterday."
Lin Suyi is five months pregnant and the fetal movements are normal.
"But since you're here, it's good to take a look together."
Physician Hu, who was in charge of taking Lin Suying's pulse, arrived quickly.
"Consort Jing is in good health."
This is a renowned gynecologist from the Imperial Medical Academy.
Just as Lin Suyi was about to ask her to take her pulse as well, Ye Wan looked at Physician Hu and said, "Call everyone from the entire Imperial Hospital."
The imperial physicians were responsible for the empresses and concubines, but they were also under the jurisdiction of the entire Imperial Hospital.
Physician Hu was taken aback. "Your Majesty, has something happened?"
Lin Suying reacted in a moment, "It's nothing, the princess wants to pick someone she likes from the Imperial Hospital to take with her."
Lin Anyuan is a king of a different surname, so Ye Wan is naturally the queen.
Ye Wan looked at Physician Hu and smiled, "Physician Hu, if you know anyone suitable with good medical skills, please recommend them to me. I have been married for many years but have not been able to conceive. I would like to invite a physician to take me back to recuperate."
"There are indeed a few skilled physicians, and I would like to recommend them to Your Highness," Physician Hu said, naming a few people.
Ye Wan smiled and picked up her teacup. "I still want to see them in person and pick one that catches my eye."
Knowing that she was pregnant, Lin Suyi replaced all the tea in front of her with fruit tea.
The news of Ye Wan's pregnancy was not spread, so when he heard that she wanted to invite a royal physician home to recuperate, Physician Hu felt it was perfectly normal.
At Consort Jing's word, everyone from the Imperial Hospital came. They decided to meet in the Imperial Garden, where the view was more open and many flowers were in bloom.
Ye Wan looked at the two rows of thirty people and said, "I don't know how good your medical skills are. Why don't you take turns taking Consort Jing's pulse and write it down on paper so I can see which of you are just here to fill in the numbers?"
"No way!"
