"I just noticed that Cuiying was not right. Master Jiu, you have been blinded by someone else's beauty, so I came to remind you."
Lu Zhenzhi played with Fu Tong'er's little hand and smiled gently: "If you want to say that I was deceived, it's true that I was deceived by a house cat."
"Master Jiu, please don't go to the banquet. Can you trust my feeling and not go? No, no, no~" Fu Tong'er shook Lu Zhenzhi.
"no."
"Well, what if I ask Jiu Ye to stay with me tonight? Can Jiu Ye not go?"
Lu Zhenzhi let go of Fu Tong'er's little hand, closed his eyes, and gently stroked Fu Tong'er's face with the jade ring on his thumb.
It's cool and mild.
"You want me to stay with you..."
"May I?"
Lu Zhenzhi closed his eyes, hugged Fu Tong'er, and leaned back in the chair without saying a word.
He knew very well that the banquet at the Dingnan Marquis Mansion was not a good one, but he had to go.
Lu Zhenzhi raised his hand and knocked on the table: "Sign this marriage certificate, and I will do as you wish."
The man kicked the "ball" to Fu Tong'er.
She chuckled, rose slightly from Jiu Ye's arms, leaned over him and said with a smile: "Hey, can't you pick a good day? This is a big deal. You are the regent prince after all. How can you be so careless like this? You are really something."
"If you don't sign, I'll go to the banquet." Lu Zhenzhi closed his eyes and slowly smelled the fragrance of Fu Tong'er's hair. "Tong'er, think carefully, do you want to sign or not..."
Fu Tong'er leaned in Jiu Ye's arms, raised her hand to stroke his chest, closed her eyes, and quietly felt Jiu Ye's palm gently patting her.
"Then, Master Jiu, tell me, what about your Cuiying?"
"This king has nothing to do with her."
As he was speaking, Deputy General Xiao knocked on the door: "Master Jiu, Doctor Bai from Jishi Medical Clinic is here."
Jiu Ye raised his eyes and looked towards the door.
He helped Fu Tong'er up, stood up and lowered the curtain, saying loudly: "Come in."
The doctor came in and kowtowed to Master Jiu as soon as he saw him. "Hello, Master Jiu. I wonder what's wrong with you."
Jiu Ye said, "I have a girl here. I'd like to ask the doctor to see if she is suitable for bearing a child."
As he spoke, he reached through the curtain, hooked it, took Fu Tong'er's hand and pulled it out.
Doctor Bai saw the delicate skin and tender flesh on the arm and thought that the patient must be very young. He concluded that it was the young wife of the Ninth Master, so he covered her with a silk scarf and took her pulse.
After a while, a look of shock crossed her face. She took back the scarf and replied, "Madam, how could your body be so weak? If you take good care of your body, you shouldn't get pregnant for a year at the earliest, or you'll have a difficult birth. Eat more medicinal foods to replenish your qi and blood, avoid getting angry, and stay cheerful."
After Jiu Ye had Doctor Bai escorted away, he drew up the curtain and hugged Fu Tong'er: "Your health has improved a lot."
Originally, the Imperial Physician Jin in the capital had diagnosed her as unsuitable for pregnancy within two years. In just half a month, her Qi and blood had been replenished somewhat. But it had also cost the Regent Prince Chun several hundred taels of silver.
There were as many as seven or eight kinds of medicinal food for each meal, not to mention that Fu Tong'er would sometimes eat bird's nest or drink ginseng soup when she was craving for it.
Her body was rounder than the night Lu Zhen first met her.
Fu Tong'er was a little dazed, lying in Jiu Ye's arms and listening blankly. It was originally said that she could not get pregnant within two years, but now the time was shortened by one year. She broke away from Jiu Ye and walked to the mirror. Her small face, which was the size of a palm, seemed to have gained weight.
She pinched herself, turned around, and asked, "Am I fat?"
Jiu Ye lowered his eyes to examine her carefully, then pinched her fair face: "Yes, you've gained some weight." His gaze then moved downwards, "It feels better now, not as sharp as before."
Fu Tong'er was stunned and stared: "Where are you looking?"
Lu Zhenzhi retracted his gaze and said calmly: "I haven't seen your..."
"You!" Fu Tong'er stared at Jiu Ye steadily, and after a long while, she said, "I want to go on a diet."
Before she could finish her words, Lu Zhenzhi pulled her into his arms and said, "Nonsense. From today on, you must eat more. Apart from meals, you must eat once a day at noon and once after you wake up from your nap. I'll have someone prepare some more medicinal food."
Fu Tong'er quickly raised her hand to cover Lu Zhenzhi's mouth:
