Shu Jiaying looked at the medicine brought by Zhao Ma Ma with a bitter face. She asked, "Zhao Ma Ma, didn't you just make this medicine for me this morning? Why did you make another bowl for me?"
"I made it this morning and gave it to you. No way, why don't I have any recollection of it?"
"Really? I did drink it. How could you have forgotten about it? And I clearly remember you telling me that the fertility formula can only be taken once a day and not more than that."
Seeing Shu Jiaying's confident look, Aunt Zhao began to feel confused. She glanced at the medicine in her hand and muttered to herself, "No way, how could I be so confused? I boiled the medicine this morning, and now I boiled it again? My God, this fertility formula really can't be taken too much..."
Shu Jiaying clearly heard what Aunt Zhao said, but she pretended not to understand and asked, "Aunt Zhao, what are you talking about? What do you think will happen to me after I drink this formula to have a child?"
Zhao Ma immediately laughed dryly and said, "How could that be possible? This medicine will only benefit you, not harm you. Concubine Chen...don't overthink it, just drink this medicine!"
Shu Jiaying shook her head firmly again.
"No... Madam Zhao, I've already told you, I drank it this morning. I can't drink this medicine again."
Madam Zhao was stunned for a moment, then she agreed, "Yes, yes, you can't drink it again after drinking it this morning. I...this old servant will take this medicine away. Then, Madam Chen, you should have a good rest."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Aunt Zhao."
After watching Madam Zhao leave, Shu Jiaying called Xiaoxue, who was standing by and serving tea and water, to her side.
Shu Jiaying deliberately said worriedly: "Look at this Zhao Ma, she looks absent-minded. I think she must have been overworked recently.
"That's just how Madam Zhao is. She likes to do everything herself. Although I'm quite touched by her, she's getting old after all. If she continues like this for a long time, I'm really worried she won't be able to handle it."
Xiaoxue believed that Shu Jiaying was speaking the truth. She felt that servants like them were truly blessed to have such a considerate master. She also sincerely comforted her, "Madam Zhao is just like that. Your Highness, there's no need to worry so much."
"Thank you, Xiaoxue. You're such a considerate girl. By the way... I have some sandalwood in my room that helps people sleep. It's very precious. I'm afraid Aunt Zhao will be reluctant to use it if she knows its value. You should still light it for her after she falls asleep. When people get old, health is the most important thing."
"I understand."
After getting some sandalwood and "health-preserving" flower tea from Shu Jiaying's room, Xiaoxue left Shu Jiaying's yard and came to Zhao Ma's bedroom.
Seeing Madam Zhao sitting in her room, carefully carving a wooden box, Xiaoxue quickly stepped forward and praised her, "Madam Zhao, I never thought your craftsmanship was so exquisite. You were able to carve this wooden box so vividly. Madam Zhao...if the princess sees the finished product, she will definitely give you a great reward."
Zhao Mama was always confident in her cooking skills. She glanced at Xiaoxue who had come running to her room and said in a feigned anger, "You little girl, why are you here with me when you're not serving your master?"
"Madam Zhao, Princess Chen noticed that you haven't been in a good mood recently, so she specifically asked me to make a pot of flower tea to cheer you up."
