"Thank you for your help."
"Ma'am, you're welcome."
The waiter brought a bowl of black medicine. Bei Yutang took the bowl and drank it in one gulp while it was still hot. A bitter taste immediately filled his mouth, and his tongue was so bitter that it made him numb.
Suddenly, a plate of candied fruit was brought to her. Bei Yutang glanced at the waiter, and the waiter smiled at her.
"Thank you." Bei Yutang took a candied fruit and put it in his mouth. The bitterness in his mouth instantly faded away. "Young man, could you please deliver a letter to the family in the northeast of the city for me?"
The guy accepted the benefit, so he naturally wouldn't refuse. "No problem."
Bei Yutang handed him a wax-sealed letter and said, "Please make sure to deliver this letter to the Bei Mansion today."
"good."
On the other side, two maids waited for Bei Yutang to come back, and wanted to follow Xiao Cui and said, "It's been so long, and Madam hasn't come back yet. I'll go check."
Xiaoyu didn't really care, "Oh, don't go. It will take a long time to poop. Madam, it won't be lost."
Xiao Cui was still worried, "I'd better go and take a look."
Seeing that she was determined to go, Xiaoyu stopped her and kindly reminded her, "Be careful and don't let the lady see anything unusual."
"I know that."
If the lady knew that they were monitoring her, she would be in trouble when she returned.
As soon as Xiao Cui turned around, Bei Yutang walked in.
Bei Yutang pretended not to notice her actions and walked over to the desk to continue with her unfinished painting. This time she wrote quickly and finished it in a quarter of an hour.
She gave the pattern to the shopkeeper and repeatedly instructed him to carve it carefully.
After leaving the shop, Bei Yutang turned her head and said to the two maids, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today, not even the prince."
The two maids looked at each other and replied with a smile, "Yes."
Bei Yutang added, "This is a surprise for the prince, you must keep it a secret."
"yes."
After finishing his business, Bei Yutang returned to Prince Jing's Mansion without stopping.
The next day
When Bei Yutang heard that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Bei family was visiting, she ordered someone to invite her to the back garden. As soon as she entered the back garden, she saw a dignified and virtuous woman sitting in the pavilion.
"Sister-in-law." Bei Yutang walked forward and called her affectionately.
When the eldest sister-in-law of the Bei family saw her, her eyebrows raised slightly, she stood up and bowed to her, "Greetings, Princess Jing."
"Sister-in-law, don't be so formal with me. Come and sit down." Bei Yutang helped her up and sat on the stone bench.
Bei Yutang said to Xiao Cui, "Ask the kitchen to get some osmanthus cake and water chestnut cake, and prepare a pot of scented tea."
"It's rare that the queen still remembers what I like to eat." The eldest sister-in-law of the Bei family said with a smile, her tone revealing a sense of intimacy.
Bei Yutang took her sister-in-law's hand and asked, "Sister-in-law, are my parents in good health?"
"My father-in-law and mother-in-law are both in good health."
"Brother, second brother, are you all okay?" Bei Yutang asked with concern.
"Don't worry, we're all fine. How's your health?"
"My husband treats me very well." Bei Yutang said shyly.
Seeing this, the eldest sister-in-law of the Bei family felt relieved. "Next year, you will have another nephew."
Bei Yutang's eyes lit up, "Is sister-in-law pregnant?"
Bei's eldest sister-in-law smiled and nodded.
"That's truly a joyous occasion." Bei Yutang immediately turned to the maidservant beside her and said, "Xiaoyu, fetch those batches of Shu brocade and the children's gold ornaments from the warehouse."
