Zhu Wuhuan looked at the aggrieved look of the young boy and smiled.
Although she was old enough to get engaged in ancient times, she is still a junior high school student in modern times.
It's a bit early.
No wonder they were forced to run away from home.
She patted the boy's shoulder gently and said, "It's okay. I'll take care of it for you later."
Zhu Chunjun was happy. In such a big family, he finally had a third sister who was willing to help him!
Without informing the Zhu family, Zhu Wuhuan, who was determined to make the decision for her brother, followed her husband, the emperor, into the Zhu Mansion in a low-key manner.
She didn't expect that after they greeted each other as soon as they entered the door, she was scolded by her mother before she even opened her mouth to support her brother.
"Hawthorn slices?"
Madam Zhu grabbed the small purse from Zhu Wuhuan's hand with a trembling heart. "Who told you to eat hawthorn slices? Don't you know that hawthorn can promote blood circulation and dissipate blood stasis, and pregnant women shouldn't eat it?"
"..." Zhu Wuhuan looked at Madam Zhu with a confused look on his face, "I don't know."
Madam Zhu was so anxious that she didn't care about hierarchy. She tapped her daughter's forehead with her finger and asked, "How much did you eat?"
Zhu Wuhuan silently turned his head and looked at Feng Changye.
Unable to let her be scolded alone, she decided to drag this man into it as well.
So she blinked her eyes innocently and said softly, "Your Majesty, how much have you fed me?"
When Madam Zhu heard this, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Feng Changye!
What?
This thing was actually fed by the emperor's son-in-law himself?
Is it because the Zhu family is too successful and the emperor doesn't want the baby in the queen's belly anymore?
"..." Feng Changye was almost laughing because of his own queen!
You're being scolded by your mother, so you want to drag him down to be scolded as well, right?
What a bad heart.
But this is his wife after all. Besides pampering her, can he beat her to death?
So he looked at Madam Zhu silently, "I didn't know the Queen couldn't eat hawthorn. I forced her to eat an extra bowl of rice this morning, and she felt uncomfortable because of the fullness, so I fed her some hawthorn... not much, just six or seven pieces."
I wish the old lady would try hard to tell herself not to be angry.
If the person standing in front of her wasn't an emperor, she would have scolded him to death!
Six or seven pieces aren’t enough?
This kind of hawthorn slices are made from pure hawthorn squeezed into a paste, and one slice is half a hawthorn!
They all lack common sense, it’s so annoying!
She quickly asked someone to call a doctor to see if the baby in her daughter's belly was affected.
It was difficult to lecture the emperor's son-in-law, so the old lady could only poke her daughter's eyebrows tiredly, "Empress, don't you have a few maids with you as a dowry? Why don't you let them into the room to serve you closely now that you are pregnant? You are pregnant now, how can you still act like before? There are so many taboos!"
Zhu Wuhuan was afraid that the old lady would get sick from worry, so she quickly promised, "Mother, I know I was wrong. When I return to the palace, I will let them into the room to serve me."
Madam Zhu nodded and asked, "Have you done anything taboo in the past two days?"
Zhu Wuhuan felt particularly guilty, "This...my daughter doesn't know what things are taboo..."
Madam Zhu suppressed her anger and asked her what she had been doing these days.
She answered obediently, "I didn't do anything. I just had three meals a day as usual. When I had free time, I would go for a stroll in the Imperial Garden. When I came back, I would make clothes for the Emperor..."
When Mrs. Zhu heard about making clothes, her heart lifted again!
She glared, "You're still making clothes? Then you used needle and thread and scissors?"
Zhu Wuhuan felt even more guilty, "Mom, can't I even use the needle and thread scissors?"
Old Madam Zhu was so angry at her daughter that she almost died. "Of course you can't touch them! You can't touch sharp objects like needles and scissors. Be careful not to offend the fetal spirit, or the baby in your belly will be disabled!"
“…” Zhu Wuhuan found it a bit strange.
What kind of feudal theory is this?
She had never heard in modern times that pregnant women cannot use needles, thread and scissors. Many pregnant women would embroider insoles and cross-stitch when they were bored, and the babies they gave birth to were all healthy.
However, now that she has come to a feudal society, she cannot refute these feudal theories, and she has to adapt to local customs.
Besides, she was worried about having no reason to refuse. She had long wanted to stop making clothes for the emperor. Her fingers were cramping like chicken claws from embroidering the five-clawed golden dragon!
So she hid her joy and silently turned her head to look at Feng Changye beside her, "Your Majesty, did you hear that?"
Feng Changye glanced at her.
I thought to myself, not only did I hear what my mother-in-law said, I also heard your secret joy!
I've been working on it for so many days, but there's still no sign of my clothes. Now you've found another excuse to be lazy. I'm afraid I won't be able to wear the clothes you made until the baby is born, right?
Besides arguing with me and raising geese to pick at me, what else can you do for me?
I can't count on you for anything, so you are the first choice to seize the throne!
Even though Feng Changye was complaining in his heart, he had to try hard to smile.
He said gently, "I heard you. Since it will offend the fetal god, then we won't make clothes."
Without waiting for Zhu Wuhuan to be happy, he smiled and said, "Put it aside for now. We can continue after you give birth to the baby."
The smile on Zhu Wuhuan's face almost collapsed.
You can't escape the fate of embroidering that big golden dragon, right?
Can I not embroider?
She was afraid that if she embroidered a tiny, weird-looking lizard, the tyrant would think she was deliberately mistreating him and would get angry and chop her to death!
There was an old doctor nearby, and soon the servants from the mansion brought the old doctor back.
When the old doctor heard that Zhu Wuhuan had eaten hawthorn, he quickly took his pulse.
After taking the pulse, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Madam's pulse is stable, nothing is wrong, which shows that Madam's health is very good. Hawthorn, it's okay to eat two occasionally, but don't eat too much. I hope Madam will remember -"
Zhu Wuhuan nodded, "Thank you, doctor."
Feng Changye asked Xiao Yuanzi to give the doctor the medical fee and reward, and then sent the old doctor away.
Knowing that the fetus was fine, the old lady finally felt relieved.
Finally I was in the mood to chat and laugh with the Queen's daughter.
"Third sister..."
Seeing that his third sister was fine, Zhu Chunjun was worried that she had forgotten about him and would not plead for him anymore, so he secretly poked her arm to remind her.
Zhu Wuhuan came back to his senses immediately.
She glanced sideways at her poor fourth brother and mustered up the courage to plead with her old mother.
She held the old lady's arm and smiled, "Mother, my fourth brother is only fourteen this year. Why is he getting engaged so early? He is still young——"
The old lady smiled and said, "Originally, I meant to let him wait another two years to get engaged. But who knew that as soon as your father returned, everyone in the capital would set their sights on your fourth brother? Now everyone is vying to marry us. If we don't agree, we will offend everyone. What will happen when your fourth brother wants to get married?"
Without waiting for Zhu Wuhuan to speak, the old lady continued, "Besides, your fourth brother is not young anymore. He can get engaged at the age of fourteen. If both families make their own preparations, and then get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, wouldn't that be just right?"
