The sweltering heat of June is truly unbearable. Apart from paying his respects, Yan Nangui has basically stayed indoors again.
However, I feel much better this year than last year. At least I still have an appetite when it's hot, and I haven't lost as much weight as I did last summer.
She also takes good care of her health.
When Physician Hu took Yan Nangui's pulse, he used the same old rhetoric. Yan Nangui then asked, "My body isn't in a long-term solution of taking tonics. I've also been thinking about dietary supplements. I've had this Yangrong Pill for several years now; will it still be effective if I take it again?"
"Liangyuan, don't worry. Although you've been taking this for a while, you don't take it all the time. It's still the best tonic. After all, you're deficient in qi and blood. You can drink other herbal soups according to the seasons, but ginseng is best taken in all four seasons. Although this Yangrong Pill is mainly made of ginseng, it also contains other concentrated medicinal ingredients."
"That's good. I don't really expect anything from my health. It's fine if I can't have children; I still want to live a few more years. I don't want to suffer. Physician Hu is a trusted physician of His Highness the Crown Prince, and I've never sought treatment from anyone else. Since Physician Hu says so, I'm relieved." Yan Nangui smiled and said, "You should see Physician Hu off and reward him well."
Physician Hu thanked him profusely, already understanding the situation.
Thinking to himself, it's no wonder that someone of this background could gain favor and maintain his position in the mansion. These few words have clearly made his intentions clear to everyone inside and outside the mansion.
Physician Hu is definitely one of the Crown Prince's men. Who in the mansion doesn't know that the Crown Prince trusts him?
Yan Liangyuan was speaking openly through these words.
She doesn't have to have children, but she needs to be healthy.
However, Physician Hu thought, His Highness really didn't tell you not to have children...
After Physician Hu finished his work, he also went to the front courtyard to see the Crown Prince, just as the Crown Prince returned from the palace.
"Your subject greets Your Highness the Crown Prince. Greetings, Your Highness."
"No need for formalities. How about you take the pulses of a few people in the backyard?" Shu Chengfeng asked.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess is somewhat deficient and needs to replenish her energy. I have prescribed a formula for her; she only needs to follow it."
"Both of the two concubines are in good health. Among the concubines, Concubine Murong, although she had that incident before, has recovered now and only needs to take good care of her pregnancy. Concubine Luo has been suffering from internal heat lately, so I prescribed some heat-clearing herbal soup, and she will feel better after drinking it for a few days. Concubine Yan is still weak and deficient in both qi and blood. I did not prescribe any tonics for her, and she will take them in the autumn. For now, she is still taking Yangrong Pills."
"Xia Zhaoxun is in good health, and the fetus is also doing well."
Shu Chengfeng hummed in agreement: "Is Yan's health still so poor?"
"This..." Physician Hu hesitated.
"Just say it." There are still two maids in the room, Liangchen and Meijing.
However, since their master hadn't told them to leave, they didn't dare to act on their own.
"Yes, Yan Liangyuan had just narrowly escaped death, and such a loss cannot be recovered all at once. Fortunately, Yan Liangyuan knows a lot about health preservation. She has recovered quite well over the past year."
"Oh, then in your opinion, when will she recover?" Shu Chengfeng asked.
"If you continue to recuperate as you are now, you will get better in two or three years. You won't be like you are now." Physician Hu thought for a moment and then said, "However, when it comes to recuperating, you can't rush it. You also need to take tonics in moderation."
Wasn't that what that person meant?
"Alright, your medical skills are excellent, so take good care of her. Since she is deficient in both qi and blood, nourish her slowly. If she needs any good medicine, just come to the front yard to get it," Shu Chengfeng said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my best," Physician Hu replied.
"Then go ahead, there's nothing else to do." The Crown Prince waved his hand.
Once outside the house, Yun Ji naturally led him to receive the reward.
Physician Hu accepted it with a smile.
Yun Ji smiled and asked, "How is our Lady Xiao's health?"
Physician Hu stroked his beard and smiled, "He's doing very well, in excellent health."
Yun Ji nodded: "Alright, I'll see you out."
When Yun Ji returned, Shu Chengfeng said, "Since the head concubine isn't feeling well, send her some tonics. Send her whatever else you think is appropriate. Give some gifts to the two pregnant women. Send something to Madam Luo as well. And to Madam Yan..."
He thought for a moment, unsure of what to give.
"No need for anything nourishing, she probably can't finish it all."
"Your Highness, I remember there are a few fine pieces of jade in the storeroom that haven't been carved yet. Shall we send them over?" Yun Ji asked.
"Okay, then you can choose which ones to send. See what nice flowers the greenhouse has, and send them to her and Mrs. Su."
The clouds responded.
"Tell Mr. Luo that I will go over tonight." It's been a while since I've gone.
Yun Ji agreed and came out to give instructions to send the rewards to the back.
Soon, everyone accepted their rewards.
The head of the household was naturally delighted to receive the tonic and some jewelry.
Murong Liangyuan also received jewelry and was happy.
Xia Zhaoxun brought several pieces of jewelry, some daily necessities, and one hundred taels of silver. This was what Shu Chengfeng had instructed him to give.
Luo didn't care what she got; she was overjoyed just by hearing those words.
Yan Nangui returned here, looking at the reward with a beaming smile: "Why did you give me such a wonderful thing?"
Leaving aside the three uncarved jade pieces, they were all top-quality jade; two were jasper and one was white jade.
There are also fabrics and jewelry.
"It's all His Highness's heart that's on my mind," Eunuch Liu said with a smile.
"A reward," Yan Nangui said with a smile.
Eunuch Liu happily accepted the reward and left. Oh my, he got five taels of silver just for giving a reward!
That evening, it was said that His Highness had gone to Consort Luo's place. Some people didn't care, while others cared a lot.
However, since giving birth to the eldest princess, Lady Luo has rarely served the emperor. The last time she did so was several months ago.
After all, she has children.
In the middle of the night, a thunderstorm suddenly broke out.
Thunder in June is like a bolt from the blue, a sharp crack.
Startled awake, Luo grabbed Shu Chengfeng's arm.
Shu Chengfeng didn't move or speak, he just opened his eyes, and then closed them again as lightning flashed.
Then another clap of thunder struck.
Before long, they heard some noise from next door. The wet nurses were afraid of disturbing the little princess, but thankfully, the princess didn't cry.
Shu Chengfeng quickly turned over and fell asleep again.
Luo Liangyuan couldn't fall asleep for a long time. She carefully rested her head against Shu Chengfeng's back and sighed softly.
Luo Liangyuan is a straightforward person, always appearing to be outspoken.
But there are things she dares not do, such as not daring to get too close to His Highness.
She could still tell that His Highness was different when he was with Consort Su and Consort Yan than when he was with her.
As for the Xia family, the Xia family has a low status, but Consort Luo... just doesn't dare to.
At this moment, thunder rumbled intermittently, which frightened her, but she dared not actually hug him, much less beg him to hold her.
This is the only way; it's like I'm ashamed to be seen, so I stay close to him, even closer.
Outside, the rain was pouring down, but Shu Chengfeng slept soundly and comfortably.
