Chapter 149 I will provide you with retirement in the future
Ming Yueshu looked up and saw that she was alone. She asked, "Auntie, why are you here? Why isn't Lancao with you?"
"I'm no longer your father's concubine, so naturally, I have no one to serve me. Shu'er can call me mother." She put down her bundle and took the child from Mingyueshu's arms. "What are your plans for the future?"
In the Anguo Mansion, Shu'er's nominal mother is Madam, and it would be against the rules to call her mother.
"Auntie..." Mingyue opened her mouth, "Mom, you have changed a lot."
"You've changed too." Su's eyes reddened and she patted her head, "Shu'er, you've suffered."
Ming Yueshu reached out and hugged her, tears streaming down her face. "Auntie, I won't be willful anymore. You should go back. Life here is no better than at the Duke's Mansion."
"I won't reply. I want to hear you call me mother openly, not concubine. Besides, no matter how wonderful or lively the Duke's Mansion is, it has nothing to do with me. My existence is dispensable. Concubine Lu and Concubine Shi both have sons and daughters, but I don't." Concubine Su choked up, "Shu'er, you are all I have."
"I can't come out to see you in the mansion. Mother hasn't seen you for more than a year."
Ming Yueshu saw Su's determined expression clearly through her tearful eyes. She was silent for a long time before finally nodding, "Okay, then I won't leave. I'll take care of you in your old age and see you to the end."
In the Anguo Mansion, she learned a lot of things, including embroidery, piano playing, chess, and painting. Although her skills were not top-notch, they were more than enough to serve as an enlightenment female teacher for the young girls in the houses of minor officials. The difficulty was whether they would hire her.
First, she snatched Shi Jianli's marriage and was driven out of the Anguo Mansion. Then she sued her husband's family. Ming Yueshu realized that she had a bad reputation.
"What are your plans for the future?" Aunt Su also wiped her tears and asked back.
Ming Yueshu squeezed her son's fingers and said, "I've established a daughter household, and the child will have my surname. He'll call you grandmother and I'll provide for your old age. He'll be able to survive, but it won't be as comfortable as it was in the Duke's Mansion."
"By the way, I changed the child's name to Zixing, Ming Zixing."
To have a thorough enlightenment is to wake up.
Su was stunned, looked at her, then looked down at the child, her eyes warmed again.
With her status, she could become a grandmother one day.
…
Because Mingzhao had an appointment to go boating with his elders, he got up to go to court. Shi Jianli was also awake, lying on the pillow with her head tilted to watch him get dressed.
Mingzhao had put on his clothes and leaned over to kiss the corner of her lips. "Would you like to get up and have breakfast with me?"
"Hold~"
Hearing this, he picked her up from the bed and carried her out to wash up. "Madam, are you sending me to court today?"
"Okay." Shi Jianli put her arms around his neck and rested her head on the side of his neck.
Mingzhao pinched the back of her neck and said, "I'll go straight to Taiyuan Lake to find you after I'm done with my shift."
"oh."
When they were about to leave after breakfast, Mingzhao leaned over to look at her and said, "Give me a kiss."
Shi Jianli leaned over and touched his lips.
He smiled, bit her lips lightly, and took her hand to go out.
When he was sent to the gate of the mansion, he saw Ming Zhouqing and Zheng Leyun were also there.
Zheng Leyun and Shi Jianli stared at each other for a moment, then shyly turned their heads away. Last night, Ming Zhouqing had mentioned that his elder brother's wife often escorted him to court, and he wanted to experience the feeling of having a lady escort him out.
Ming Zhao glanced at Ming Zhouqing, raised his eyebrows slightly, then lowered his eyes to look at his wife and squeezed her hand. "It's just right, Madam, you and your sister-in-law should go back together."
"Yeah." Shi Jianli nodded, "Le Yun, let's go."
Zheng Leyun said to Ming Zhouqing, "I'm going back first."
Ming Zhouqing smiled and nodded: "Okay."
The two of them went back the way they had come. Shi Jianli asked, "I'm going to my mother's place. Do you want to come with me?"
"Okay." Zheng Lejun looked her over and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you often send my brother to court?"
"I only give him a ride if he asks me to." If he can't get up, I won't give him a ride.
At the time of Si, all the women in the family went out. Shi Jianli and Zheng Leyun helped the old lady into the carriage.
It was not hot in the morning, so we walked around Taiyuan Lake to enjoy the breeze before we all got on the pleasure boat.
The sky was bright and clear, and the pleasure boat cut through the waves, heading towards the center of the lake. Ripples spread out in circles, then disappeared among the crowded lotus leaves.
Shi Jianli was sitting by the railing of the boat drinking tea. As the pleasure boat started to move, she felt a little dizzy. After drinking some cold tea, she felt better.
As the boat moved forward, the dizzy feeling came back and Shi Jianli closed her eyes.
"Aunt, mother, I want to get off the boat," she said.
Qiao Ruoying looked at her carefully, "What's wrong?"
"I get a bit seasick. I feel dizzy whenever the boat moves."
"Jinzhi, have someone row the pleasure boat back and ask the court doctor to come and take his pulse." Yuan Yuhe said, "You didn't feel dizzy before, did you?"
The old lady is here today, so the court doctor naturally comes with her.
"No."
Seeing that she looked fine, Qiao Ruoying thought of something and asked, "Did Li'er have her period last month?"
It has been three months since Li'er and Zhaohuan got married.
"It's here, but a little too little." Meeting her aunt's gaze, Shi Jianli understood what she was thinking.
The old lady was excited when she heard this, "Then she might be pregnant."
The court doctor arrived soon, and Shi Jianli stretched out his hand to feel his pulse.
Half a minute later, the doctor of the Mo Mansion said, "You are two months pregnant. Congratulations, Madam Crown Prince."
The boat had docked, and Shi Jianli subconsciously touched her lower abdomen.
The old lady smiled when she heard this, "Great, we're going to have a little great-grandson!"
Yuan Yuhe was equally delighted. She glanced at Shi Jianli, who was still somewhat dazed, and asked the court physician, "How is the Crown Prince's wife in good health?"
"Don't worry, Madam Guogong. The Crown Prince's wife is in good health. Just be careful not to get hurt. I'll write a list of foods that pregnant women should avoid."
Qiao Ruoying: "What about seasickness? Li'er never got seasick before."
"This is normal. During pregnancy, tastes and habits will change. Second Madam, there is no need to worry too much."
"That's good." Qiao Ruoying patted Shi Jianli's back gently, happy for her.
Mingyue saw that Li was a little dazed and asked, "Sister Li, why are you in a daze?"
Shi Jianli came back to her senses, a slight smile appeared on her face, and she said, "I'm a little slow to react."
The old lady said, "Let's stop here today and go back home. Li'er is pregnant, and I'm worried about her being away from home. It's not as comfortable as being at home."
Shi Jianli looked at her, her tone slightly apologetic: "You originally said you were going out to play with grandma, but now you have to go back early."
The old lady held her hand and said with a smile, "You can come out and play anytime, your health is more important."
"Um."
When they came out, Shi Jianli was riding in a carriage with Mingyuelin and Zheng Lejun. When they went back, Yuan Yuhe felt that Mingyuelin was not steady enough, so she asked her and Zheng Lejun to go and sit with the old lady.
Shi Jianli felt a little dizzy as she listened to Yuan Yuhe and Qiao Ruoying's instructions.
Qiao Ruoying patted her head and said, "I'll tell your maids when we get back. You like to stay cool in the summer, so don't eat so many cold things."
"good."
After returning home, the elders all went to Langgan Courtyard and checked the incense and flowers inside and outside the house, replacing those that needed to be replaced and removing those that needed to be removed.
When Mingyue saw Li sitting next to her, she handed her a cup of warm water and said, "Sister Li, are you feeling unwell now?"
