Chapter 81 Bi'er, slap your face!
Jin Congcong didn't sleep all night after he returned. Bu Ruo was speechless when she found out. She couldn't help laughing every time she saw Jin Congcong.
A few days later, the wife of Marquis Guangling handed a visiting card to Buruo in the morning, and in the afternoon she couldn't wait to come to Prince Zhan's mansion, bringing many things with her.
"Ruo'er, are you...really okay?"
Guangling Marquis' wife, Lady Bai, pointed at the boxes of things the servants were carrying in. "I asked them to bring all this from Jiangnan to nourish you. They're all good things you can't find in Kyoto."
"And this box of pearls would be great for making jewelry or accessories."
Bu Ruo looked at the box in the hands of the Lady of Guangling Marquis filled with pearls of various colors and could not help but admire it: "So many! I heard that the sea has been very rough this year and the pearl production is very small, let alone such top-quality ones."
Mrs. Bai pressed the box into Bu Ruo's hands and said, "We really didn't get many pearls this year, especially top-quality ones like this. We only have this box, and all of them are here."
"Hmm... there's another box of ones that aren't very round and aren't very good quality. I'm keeping them to send off the people in the palace."
"As for those seafood, they were all sent here by express horse on ice. I have written down the cooking and preservation methods and had them sent to the kitchen of the palace. You can try them. If you like them, I will have them sent back."
Bu Ruo glanced at Bai and smiled: "Congratulations, Aunt Bai."
Bai paused, not reacting for a moment: "Congratulations? What should I congratulate..."
Seeing Bu Ruo staring at her abdomen, Bai suddenly widened her eyes: "Ruo'er, are you saying..."
"Yes, Aunt Bai, they are back."
Bai gently stroked her lower abdomen with both hands, her eyes slightly red: "Really? Are they really back?"
Seeing that the other party looked incredulous, Bu Ruo asked Bier to call the palace doctor of Prince Zhan's mansion.
Soon after...
"Congratulations, Madam Hou, you are pregnant. It has been over a month now. It is not obvious yet because the month is still short, but I can confirm that you are indeed pregnant."
"How many? Are they twins?"
The court doctor stroked his beard and said, "It's not clear yet. It will take a few more months."
After the court doctor left, Bai held Buruo's hand and couldn't stop crying: "They are really back, Ruo'er, they are really back, thank you, thank you."
"I will definitely listen to you, donate my property, do more good deeds, and accumulate blessings for the children and Ruo'er."
Bu Ruo looked at the faint light of merit in Bai's belly and knew that what she said was true. All the blessings she had accumulated during this period of time had fallen on the children, and even on herself.
"Aunt Bai, you don't need to donate so much. Just enough is enough. Don't really donate it all. You still have to make a living."
Mrs. Bai waved her hand and said, "That's nothing. Our family earns money much faster than I can donate. So if Ruo'er wants anything or needs money, just tell me. My Bai family will never frown."
After chatting with Bai for a while, the two decided to go shopping together to pick out some fabrics to make some small clothes for their unborn children.
Prince Zhan's Mansion had no shortage of these. Bu Ruo originally wanted Bi'er to pick some good ones from the mansion and send them to Marquis Guangling's Mansion, but Bai said she didn't want anything and that it was fun for her to pick them herself. She had no choice but to accompany her.
"Ruo'er, let's go to Yanzhilou. I heard that Yanzhilou has fabrics specially made for children's clothes. They are extremely soft and don't rub the skin at all. Even the ladies in the palace love them very much."
"Okay, let's go check it out. All the expenses today will be charged to me. It's my gift to our unborn child."
Mrs. Bai quickly shook her head: "No, no, I'm already very happy that you can accompany me out. Aunt Bai knows that you have money, but you still have the Bu family army to support. Things in Yanzhilou are not cheap. Good child, Aunt Bai accepts your kindness."
Bu Ruo was not in a wheelchair today. Xiao Yulan's health had already improved, even faster than she expected. If he continued like this, the poison in his body would be completely eliminated in less than half a year.
As for the emperor and the prince... hehe, let's go find the imperial seal first.
"Ruo'er, what do you think of these? Yong'er likes blue, and Pan'er likes yellow. These are all good, they should like them."
"Boss, wrap them all up. Ruo'er, let's go upstairs and see if we can find any peace and good fortune locks or something like that. We need jade ones, as they don't have sharp edges and won't scratch the children."
As Bai pulled Bu Ruo to the second floor, she heard a familiar voice coming from downstairs.
"Waiter, bring me the fabric you have that's suitable for making clothes for newborn babies!"
"Miss, it's someone from the third room."
Looking over, it was indeed Tian and Bu Yanfu from the third house.
Just when Bu Ruo was about to leave, Tian's annoying voice rang out again: "Hey~ Isn't this Ruo'er? What a coincidence."
Bu Ruo narrowed her eyes slightly: "Bi'er, slap your mouth!"
Bi'er flew down from the second floor and slapped Tian in the face twice.
"I already told you last time, you can't just call our princess by her maiden name casually."
Bier was very strong and swung the fan in a round shape, knocking Tian to the ground.
"You...you, a lowly slave, actually dared to hit me. Do you know who I am?"
Bu Ruo chuckled, "Who are you? You're not trying to say you're the mother-in-law of Prince Yongning, are you? You're just a concubine who hasn't even married yet, and you're already relying on Prince Yongning's power?"
That's right, Bu Ruo heard from Xiao Yulan a few days ago. She didn't know what tricks Bu Yanfu used to get Prince Yongning to go to the palace and ask Concubine Shun to agree to the marriage. Concubine Shun refused, so that guy knelt at the gate of Concubine Shun's palace.
Finally, Concubine Shun had no choice but to reluctantly agree to let Bu Yanfu enter the mansion as a concubine.
Although Concubine Shun is not very smart, she is clear-headed.
Bu Ruo was already at the center of the storm and had angered the Emperor and the Crown Prince. Having been in the deep palace for many years and having seen all the intrigues, how could she not see that Bu Yanfu was not a good person at all.
If it weren't for her silly son, she wouldn't want to have anything to do with the Bu family at all, not even the third branch that had severed ties with them.
Prince Yongning knew that Bu Yanfu could not be the principal wife, and he asked for a concubine. However, Concubine Shun said that at most she could be a concubine. Otherwise, she would directly ask the emperor to let her go to the border as an ordinary soldier and die there. Maybe she could give birth to a smart child.
King Yongning decided to stop while he was ahead and finally agreed.
But the more Concubine Shun thought about it, the angrier she became. It was said that she later called Bu Yanfu to the palace and set rules for her several times. Until one time, Bu Yanfu was almost forced to have a miscarriage, and Prince Yongning went to the palace to plead for mercy, and then the rules were stopped.
Come to think of it, the original Princess Wenxue of Yongning was personally chosen by Concubine Shun. Her grandfather was a veteran of three dynasties, and her father was the Minister of Dali Temple. Wenxue was a proper lady from a noble family, and her every move was almost impeccable. Over the years, any good things would be sent to the palace as a gift to her as soon as possible. How could she not like her?
