Yao Susu suffered from severe morning sickness, and the old lady became anxious. She stepped up the task of choosing someone to take care of her mother for Yao Susu.
But after all, we are taking care of a pregnant woman, and this child is very precious. Even if we are anxious, we must choose carefully and be cautious.
So it wasn't until today that I found a suitable person.
Xu Zekun was particularly happy to hear this. The person his mother found must be reliable. He wondered if there was any way to relieve Susu's morning sickness?
"Bring it in quickly."
After Mother Zhu followed Yuping in, she bowed and said, "Greetings to Master and Auntie."
"Get up," she stood up after hearing a gentle male voice. She glanced around and saw a beautiful woman leaning on the bed, holding her bulging pregnant belly with one hand, and looking at her with a pair of big eyes full of curiosity.
She was extremely beautiful, with fair skin, beautiful features, and delicate features. She didn't have the bloated look of a pregnant woman at all. Instead, there was a touch of gentleness between her brows, making her even more charming.
The person sitting next to her was obviously the prince of this mansion. He had his arm around Aunt Yao's shoulders, and the two of them were very close.
Mother Zhu thought to herself that it seemed that this concubine Yao was very respectable and should be very favored.
As expected, the prince spoke first: "What's your name? Have you ever served a pregnant woman before?"
Mother Zhu calmed down and quickly told her background one by one.
Hearing that she used to be a female doctor in the palace and had served the empress, Xu Zekun felt a little more satisfied.
Yao Susu was even more surprised. This Madam Zhu was only forty years old and not very good-looking, but her skin was very white. She didn't expect that she had such great abilities and actually came from the palace.
She smiled softly, raised her little face to look at Xu Zekun, and said, "Thank you for your concern, old lady. Susu should go to Shou'an Hall to express her gratitude."
Xu Zekun caressed her pregnant belly with his big hand and said, "Take good care of the baby. As for Xie, I will bring him here."
At this time, Yuping brought a bowl of bird's nest. Yao Susu had just vomited and had nothing in her stomach. Xu Zekun was afraid that she would hurt her stomach, so he asked the kitchen to stew a bowl of bird's nest.
But Yao Susu had no appetite at all. Seeing this, she frowned and said softly, "Master, Susu doesn't want to drink..."
Xu Zekun felt helpless and wanted to persuade her to drink a little for her own health.
But Yao Susu really couldn't drink it anymore, so she covered her mouth and was about to vomit.
This time Xu Zekun didn't dare to persuade her: "Okay, okay, I won't drink anymore." He rubbed Yao Susu's chest again and again, and Yuping also brought a copper basin to catch it.
Seeing this man in such a state of disarray, Mother Zhu knew that this noble man was suffering from morning sickness.
She suddenly thought about it and asked, "Auntie, are you having morning sickness and can't eat?"
Xu Zekun paused after hearing this, looked up at Mother Zhu, and said, "Exactly. Mother, do you have any ideas?"
Mother Zhu is a capable person and naturally has a lot of experience.
Hearing this, he placed his hands in front of him, bowed slightly, and said, "When I was in the palace, some concubines were frail and suffered from severe morning sickness. They could use silver needles to prick specific acupuncture points, which would greatly relieve the symptoms. However, everyone's physical condition is different. I don't know if this method is suitable for your concubine."
Although she left some room for maneuver, Xu Zekun knew in his heart that if he was not absolutely sure, he would not have rashly asked this question.
Yao Susu had stopped vomiting at this moment and leaned softly in Xu Zekun's arms. Xu Zekun's heart was in a knot when he saw her, and he wished he could suffer for her.
He put his arm around Yao Susu's shoulders, lowered his head and asked, "Why don't we let Mother Zhu try?"
After all, she was once a female doctor in the palace, so she must be capable.
Yao Susu held Xu Zekun's other hand and smiled weakly: "Okay."
Mother Zhu then took out her acupuncture kit. The rows of silver needles were glowing, which looked quite intimidating.
When inserting the needle, Xu Zekun covered Yao Susu's eyes. In fact, the silver needle was very thin and the acupuncture points inserted by Mother Zhu were very accurate, but Yao Susu still looked very uncomfortable, which made Xu Zekun feel even more distressed.
After acupuncture, I can eat some food, but I will still vomit if I encounter food that doesn’t taste right.
Xu Zekun also knew that there was no panacea that could completely relieve the pain. It was great that someone like Mother Zhu had the ability to make Yao Susu feel more comfortable.
Although Mrs. Wu would not visit Yao Susu in person, she instructed the court physician to come to Yingxue Pavilion to take her pulse every other day.
The fetus in Yao Susu's belly was very healthy. Every time Mrs. Wu heard this, she was happy and sent rewards to Yingxue Pavilion in large quantities.
In the blink of an eye, the days passed by very quickly and it is already the end of the year.
The Marquis's Mansion was very lively, with red lanterns and peach charms hung everywhere. Whether it was the master or the servants, their eyes and brows were filled with joy.
Yao Susu was thoughtful and allocated money to make new clothes for the servants of Yingxue Pavilion. Yuping and Yuzhan both looked young, and they wore bright clothes that made them look like flower buds.
Even Zhu's mother looks a few years younger.
As she gained weight, she naturally didn't dare go out into the snow and ice, and spent most of her time indoors.
On the couch facing the east window, Yao Susu was leaning against a soft brocade pillow with rouge flowers, wrapped in a thin red brocade quilt, and cutting window flowers with Zhu Mama and Yuping.
Yao Susu is very dexterous and smart. Although she didn't know how to do it at the beginning, with a little guidance from her mother Zhu, she can now cut very well.
With skillful hands, patterns of prosperity in all four seasons, magpies climbing on branches, and surplus every year are all easily achieved.
Mother Zhu was not stingy with praise. She came over to take a look and said, "Auntie is smart and skillful. She cuts very well."
Yao Susu was a little shy, and her cheeks flushed red, making her even more beautiful and charming.
At this time, Yuzhan came in with a smile, lifting the curtain and said, "Auntie, the kitchen sent someone to ask what we have for lunch."
Yao Susu thought about it and felt like eating fresh food like fish and shrimp, so she said, "Make a steamed fish and stir-fried river shrimp. The rest will be arranged by the kitchen."
Yuzhan responded crisply, then went to reply like a butterfly.

The emperor has been entertaining his ministers these days, and Xu Zekun has been going to the palace almost every day, but he came back early today.
After paying respects at Shou'an Hall, I came to Yingxue Pavilion.
People feel refreshed when happy events happen. He didn't feel anything during the Chinese New Year before, but now thinking that the new year has passed and his and Susu's child will be born in a few months, he feels like he has endless energy.
The emperor asked this question today, which shows how much he values Xu Zekun.
The other ministers also knew that Xu Zekun was already an adult but had no children, and they all felt very sympathetic towards him. When they heard that his concubine was pregnant, they also congratulated him.
This had never happened before. After all, the reason why Xu Zekun was childless was Princess Jianing, who was the imperial concubine's sister.
When the imperial concubine gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, she was at the peak of her career. The ministers were not stupid, so how could they hurt the imperial concubine and the county lady's feelings?
But things are different now. With new people entering the palace one after another, the imperial concubine’s favor is no longer what it used to be.
In addition, the queen's legitimate son is almost six years old, so her position is completely established.
