Chapter 85: Building a Bamboo House and Retreating to the Mountains to Care for the Pregnancy
Last night, she drew the design of the bamboo forest. In fact, the reason for building the bamboo house is to cover it up. The facilities in the bamboo house are not as comfortable as those in a normal house, but she can live in the bamboo house during the day and have a space at night.
Why not buy a house? Because she doesn't want to stay in the capital. The most important thing is to hide away. In the next few months, she just wants to quietly take care of the baby and live a life of eating, drinking and having fun. She wants to choose a comfortable environment and a peaceful life. She thinks this bamboo forest is very suitable. The environment is quiet and close to nature. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is perfect for cultivating the body and mind.
The bamboo house is relatively simple to build and is expected to be completed in a week. She had already thought of a good idea last night. Since the two doctors could not be sent away or killed, she could only let Bai Zhi pretend to be her.
Baizhi lives at the foot of the mountain. She is halfway up the mountain, not far away. She can take care of her in time if anything happens. Now we can only delay it for a while. We will make plans for the rest of the matter after the baby is born.
Fortunately, the emperor did not send guards to watch them. The two doctors stayed in the room all day except studying prescriptions and medical books, and did not care about other things, which was a relief.
Also, you need to find a suitable and reliable midwife to accompany her in advance, learn some nursing knowledge, and ensure that she has a smooth delivery.
She took out the portrait mask she had made last night from the space, and let Bai Zhi pretend to be her from now on. Bai Zhi was steady in her work and calm in the face of things. She had certain analytical and thinking abilities, and nothing had gone wrong in the past few months with her. She did everything assigned to her very well!
So she trusted Bai Zhi. If she hadn't had to, she wouldn't have pushed Bai Zhi to the front. Playing her role wouldn't bring good things... Alas.
"Baizhi, come in for a moment."
The door creaked open and Bai Zhi came in with water for washing.
"Miss, you're awake."
"Well, leave it there. I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter, miss?"
"I have to go back to the capital today and visit a few shops. You pretend to be me and stay here." In addition to arranging the next goods for a few shops, the main purpose is to pick up Zhao Momo. According to the time, Zhao Momo will soon wake up.
"Ah... Miss, are you joking?"
"I'm not kidding, this is serious! Look! I've got a human face mask ready! Come over here and I'll put it on you. I guarantee you'll look exactly like me!"
"Miss, this won't be discovered, right?"
"No! We are of similar stature and weight, so we generally won't be discovered. It won't be a problem for us to fool two old doctors here and Gui Momo!"
If Gui Momo does something weird, you can use the self-defense medicine I gave you on her. You can make her mute, blind, or even faint with poison... It's all fine! You can decide based on the situation!"
Bai Zhi nodded and asked, "Okay, I'll listen to you, young lady! Then should we tell Cherry and Strawberry?"
"Tell them, they'll find out sooner or later! If you disappear, they'll ask... So just be honest. You can discuss anything among yourselves. When I get back from the capital, I want to tell you three something!"
"Miss, do you mean to go to the capital alone?"
"Well, I'm with Ye Er, and I'll be back before dark! When you go out later, knock Aunt Gui unconscious, so she won't see me go out!"
Bai Zhi was relieved when she heard that Ye Er was around! Ye Er was a martial arts expert who could protect her young lady. "Yes! Miss, then please be careful!"
"Don't worry!"
After Yunli finished washing up, she put the mask on Baizhi's face. A few minutes later, a face exactly like hers appeared in the mirror.
Bai Zhi touched her face, full of surprise, "Miss, this is incredible!"
Although she knew her young lady's makeup skills were extremely high and she had disguised herself as a man before, she had never imagined it could be done in this way, to such an extent that it was indistinguishable from her own young lady. Looking closely, she could see that her demeanor and gaze were different from her own young lady's, but her facial features were completely indistinguishable...
I have to sigh in my heart, her lady is really amazing
Yun Li looked at her masterpiece, the corners of her lips raised in satisfaction, and she nodded repeatedly: "Not bad! It's 90% like me! Most people would never be able to tell! Don't feel guilty, be open and honest! Just be like me normally, there will be no problem!"
Bai Zhi nodded: "Well, don't worry, Miss, I will try my best to make sure nothing goes wrong!"
"Go to the closet and choose one of my clothes to change into!"
"Yes, Miss!"
Yunli also changed her clothes, and was dressed as an ordinary middle-aged woman. Her dress was dark and loose, so that her belly would not feel restricted.
She painted her face and the back of her hands darker and rougher, added some freckles to her cheeks, and asked Bai Zhi to comb her hair into an old-fashioned woman's hairstyle. No one could recognize her.
The two disguised themselves successfully, and Yunli called Ye Er to prepare the carriage.
Ye Er is going to the capital to find someone to build a bamboo house. They both act separately.
…
Ye Er drove the carriage very fast. They did not stop along the way and arrived in the capital at noon. Yun Li asked Ye Er to take her directly to Xiangyun Tower.
It was time for dinner. If she didn't eat, she would be hungry. The world was big, but she was the biggest! Moreover, she was pregnant. Although she had eaten something in the carriage, it was the same as not having eaten anything without a proper meal.
Arriving at the private room of Xiangyun Building, Yunli waved her hand and ordered a table of food.
The servant couldn't help but ask, "Madam, are you dining alone?"
"yes"
"I'm afraid you can't eat so much by yourself. Although our store is open to make money, the waiter also wants to remind you not to waste food."
"Don't waste it. I need to take some of the food away!"
"Oh, it was the waiter who was abrupt."
"It's okay, you're just reminding me kindly!"
"Thank you, ma'am, for your understanding!"
Just as the waiter was about to turn around and leave, Yun Li seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Waiter, can you take the food away directly with the plates?"
"Huh? Even the plates?"
"Yes! I'll pay for the plates separately."
"I'm not sure about this. Madam, please wait a moment. I'll ask the shopkeeper."
"good"
Yunli had deliberately ordered more food. She was thinking that she wouldn't be coming to the capital again in the next few months before giving birth, so she packed some food from Xiangyunlou on the way. She would be living in the bamboo house later, and sometimes she would wake up hungry in the middle of the night. She couldn't possibly ask Strawberry to bring it to her from the foot of the mountain...
The food at Xiangyunlou is incredibly delicious, but not really! The beauty of traditional food lies in its authenticity, fresh ingredients, and lack of technology and labor...
Therefore, pregnant women should eat light food and eat more of these high-nutrition foods to benefit the baby in the belly.
"Madam, the shopkeeper said you can take the plates with you. You just need to pay an extra ten taels of silver for the tableware!"
Yun Li readily agreed, "Okay, sure!"
"Then please enjoy your meal, Madam. I won't disturb you. I've instructed you to call the waiter anytime."
"OK"
After the waiter left, Yunli put most of the food on the table into the space while it was still hot.
Things in the space will remain in the same condition when you put them in. Put them in while they are hot, and they will still be hot when you take them out!
