Chapter 655 She is really tired and has no strength at all
Prince Yong's Mansion.
The autumn wind was blowing outside the window, but the heater was lit early inside the house.
Zhao Qingzhi leaned against the couch, stroking her belly, which had not yet shown any signs of pregnancy, with one hand, and holding a bowl of bird's nest in the other hand, stirring it intermittently with a silver spoon.
The maidservant stood respectfully by the side and whispered, "Princess, these are blood swallows bought from the south. They are extremely nutritious."
Ever since she became pregnant, Prince Yong's Mansion has paid more attention to her, and has been sending a constant stream of supplements and treasures to her courtyard.
A mother's status is enhanced by her son. With this child, her position in the palace is completely secure.
The rosewood low table in front of her was filled with a wide variety of dishes.
Steamed plump mandarin fish, braised shiny pigeon trotters, and a whole roasted golden and fragrant pigeon.
She specifically asked the kitchen to make these, saying they were to nourish the baby in her belly.
The young prince Lin Jingchuan came in from outside, bringing in a cool breeze.
As soon as he entered the door, his eyes fell on the table full of fish and meat, and his brows unconsciously frowned.
"Qingzhi, why do you let the kitchen do this again?" Lin Jingchuan said with a hint of disapproval in his tone.
"You're pregnant now, so you should eat lighter food. These foods are too greasy and might not be enough to nourish your body."
Zhao Qingzhi felt unhappy when she heard this and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
"Husband, I know. But isn't this all for our child? I want him to be plump and healthy when he's born."
Her words were flawless, and Lin Jingchuan didn't know what to say anymore, so he just sighed.
"In short, everything should be done in moderation. I'll have the court doctor come over to see you tomorrow. Follow the prescription and don't take any supplements on your own."
"I'll listen to my husband." Zhao Qingzhi nodded obediently.
Lin Jingchuan gave a few more instructions and then got up and left.
He knew that if he continued, she would think he was being harsh on her.
As soon as he left, the gentleness on Zhao Qingzhi's face disappeared without a trace.
She curled her lips.
Men are like this, they don’t understand the hardship women go through when they are pregnant.
It's just a few dishes, but you're not able to replenish your body.
She was pregnant with the eldest grandson of Prince Yong's Mansion, who was very precious, so naturally she had to eat the best.
"What are you looking at?" She glanced at the maid next to her and said coldly, "Hurry up and bring that bowl of ginseng chicken soup to this prince's wife!"
…
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Chu Ruohan had just finished processing the last account book sent by Yunshang Pavilion, and she felt a heaviness in her head.
She pinched her brows and casually asked Haitang, who was tidying up her desk, "How is Brother Xuan doing in the barracks? Has there been any letter?"
Haitang paused and replied, "Madam, I sent a message the other day saying everything is fine, except that the food in the barracks is a little unpalatable, and it's very cold at night."
Chu Ruohan's heart ached when she heard this.
Gu Qingxuan has been spoiled since childhood and has never suffered such hardship.
She immediately ordered, "Don't we have a few bolts of fine cotton cloth in the storeroom? Find two skilled maids and have them make him two thick padded jackets tonight and send them to him."
"Ask the kitchen to make some of his favorite dried meat and snacks and bring them along."
"Also, go to the pharmacy and get that bottle of cold-weather ointment. It's freezing in the barracks, don't let him get frostbite."
Haitang agreed to all of them.
After Chu Ruohan finished her instructions, she supported herself on the table and wanted to get up and go back to her room to rest.
But as soon as she moved, everything in front of her eyes went dark.
The tables and chairs, books, the light and shadow outside the window, everything was shaking, and there was a buzzing sound in my ears.
"lady!"
Chu Ruohan's body went limp and she almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Haitang was quick-witted and rushed over to support her.
"Madam, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!" Haitang's voice was filled with tears.
Chu Ruohan leaned on Haitang, and after a while, the dizziness gradually subsided.
She waved her hand, her voice a little weak: "It's okay, just help me lie on the couch for a while."
Haitang carefully helped her lie down on the bed.
Looking at Chu Ruohan's face, Haitang was so anxious that tears were about to fall.
"Madam, you've been toiling day and night for Yunshang Pavilion's affairs lately, and you've lost a lot of weight. I'll go get Doctor Qian to come and see you!"
"No need." Chu Ruohan stopped her.
She raised her hand and rubbed her swollen temples, thinking that she was just very tired.
"It's just a minor ailment. A good night's sleep will clear it up. There's no need to call a doctor. Don't make a big deal out of it."
"But……"
"It's nothing." Chu Ruohan interrupted her and closed her eyes. "Go ahead and do your work. Let me be alone for a while."
Haitang looked at her master's stubbornness and could only step aside silently, but her eyes were fixed on her, fearing that something else might happen.
The room was quiet for a while when footsteps were heard outside the door.
"Mom! Mom! I'm back!"
The voice arrives before the person arrives.
Gu Qingchen rushed in like a gust of wind, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
She rushed to the bed, grabbed Chu Ruohan's arm and shook it hard.
"Mom, hurry up and get up! Aunt Song said she wants to take us to the horse farm outside the city! She said there are a few new ponies there, and they are so docile!"
Chu Ruohan felt even more dizzy after being shaken by her. She forced her eyes open and looked at her daughter's excitedly red face, then smiled helplessly.
"Qingchen, be good. Mommy is feeling a little unwell today, so she won't go. You can go play with Aunt Song and have fun."
She turned to the maid who had followed in and ordered, "Have Wang Po and the two guards follow them and keep a close eye on them. Don't let them get into trouble."
Gu Qingchen is a fearless person, and Song Ruyan, who also loves to be lively, when these two people get together, it is hard to say what kind of trouble will arise.
"No, no! Mom, you should go too!" Gu Qingchen pouted and acted coquettishly.
Song Ruyan also walked in, and she saw Chu Ruohan's extremely bad face at a glance.
"Why do you look so ugly? You look like you're made of paper. Are you sick?"
Before Chu Ruohan could speak, Haitang, who was standing beside her, seemed to have found a savior. Her eyes turned red and she rushed to say, "Sister Ruyan, please persuade our wife!"
"She was so dizzy just now that she couldn't stand up, but she refused to see a doctor, insisting that she was just tired and just needed a rest!"
Chu Ruohan glared at her. Haitang shrank her neck in grievance and dared not speak again.
When Song Ruyan heard this, she immediately got angry.
She walked to the bedside and reached out to touch Chu Ruohan's forehead. It wasn't hot!
Song Ruyan is a man of action and never likes to talk nonsense.
She pulled Gu Qingchen away from the bed and said, "Alright, stop being so stubborn, and Haitang, stop crying."
"I'll go get Qian Mingyuan back for you!"
"Hey, Ruyan..."
Chu Ruohan wanted to stop him, but she didn't even have the strength to stand up.
This noisy look made Chu Ruohan laugh and cry.
She wanted to say something else, but she met her daughter's worried eyes.
The little girl stopped making a fuss and just stood quietly beside the bed, her little hands tightly clutching her sleeves, her eyes red, as if she was about to cry.
That's all.
Chu Ruohan lay back down and buried her face in the soft pillow.
She is really tired.
There was no part of my body that wasn't sore or weak, and I almost didn't have the strength to even lift a finger.
