Soon the table was filled with all kinds of delicious delicacies.
Fu Jin took the lead in toasting the master and then presented him with a gift she had specially prepared for him, which was a hand-embroidered ink bamboo painting.
Fu Jin knew that her master loved bamboo, so she spent several months embroidering this ink bamboo picture.
Sure enough, the Fourth Master was very satisfied when he saw this ink bamboo painting.
"Fujin is thoughtful."
"As long as the master likes it." The concubine was happy to see that the master liked it.
Then it was the turn of Mrs. Song and Mrs. Li, who toasted their master one by one and presented him with gifts they had made themselves.
But the purses they gave were all homemade.
When it was Wen Mianmian's turn, everyone looked at her curiously.
Because everyone has heard about what happened in the front yard today.
Since Wenger has already given gifts to the master in advance, there should be nothing left to give now.
But what they didn't expect was that Wen Mianmian had other gifts.
In fact, the cake was not a gift. She just wanted to make her master's birthday happier.
In modern times, people have to eat cakes on birthdays, so she also wanted to eat the birthday cake that belonged to the Fourth Master on his birthday.
So in Wen Mianmian's heart, that cake was not a birthday gift, it was just a birthday cake.
Wen Mianmian slowly stood up under the gaze of everyone, raised the wine glass with a gentle smile on her face and looked at her master.
"I, the servant, also pay my respects to the master and wish him a happy birthday."
When the Fourth Master saw her smiling face, he felt like something was tickling his heart.
He picked up the wine glass, and his expressionless face softened a lot when he looked at her.
Then he drank the wine very politely.
Then Wen Mianmian took the box from Shancha and walked out.
"Master, I have also prepared a small gift for you."
The Fourth Master was a little surprised to see the box in the little princess's hand. Didn't she give him a gift in advance today?
Not only the Fourth Master thought so, everyone present thought so.
Mrs. Li was surprised at this time: "Sister Wen, didn't you send a gift to the master in advance? Why is there another gift now?"
"Sister Wen's words really embarrass the rest of us sisters."
Fu Jin also looked at Wen Mianmian and felt that this Wen family was really unruly.
It's not customary to give two gifts on a birthday, and everyone only gives one gift. Even if you want to stand out today, there's no need to do so.
"Sister Li, you misunderstood. I didn't give the master any gifts today. The cake sent from the front yard is not a gift, it's just a snack."
It's not that she doesn't know the rules. The concubine didn't give the gift to the master first, so how could she dare to go over the concubine?
"This is the gift I want to give to my master today."
No one expected that the thing that Wen sent to the front yard today was not a gift.
Even Fu Jin did not expect this, and the Fourth Master was also a little surprised.
Because at first he also thought that the thing called cake was a birthday gift from the little princess.
Su Peisheng took the box.
The Fourth Master did not open it immediately. He did not want to open the gift given to him by the little princess and let others see it.
Although the others wanted to know what Wenger had given to the master, since the master did not open it, they could only look away in disappointment.
Next came the concubines, all of whom made their own silk cords and purses.
The Fourth Master asked Su Peisheng to accept them all.
After the meal, the Fourth Master said directly that he had official business to deal with and then left.
Li had originally wanted to invite the master to her courtyard tonight, but the master left before she even had a chance to say anything.
Since the Fourth Master had left, they naturally didn't want to stay any longer, so they left one after another.
——
In the following days, the weather gradually turned cooler, and the Fourth Master became busy again. He came to the backyard less often, but most of the time he went there, he went to see Wen Mianmian.
There were also Fujin and Li, but they just visited the children and had a meal before leaving.
That day, Wen Mianmian was having lunch. While drinking fish soup, she suddenly felt a feeling of nausea.
Wen Mianmian put down the fish soup and began to retch.
Shancha saw this and ran over, worriedly asking, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
"I... vomit..." Wen Mianmian wanted to say something, but couldn't help but dry heaving several times.
When Shancha saw the princess like this, she thought she had eaten something wrong.
He said anxiously, "Princess, wait for me. I'll ask Wang An to call the court doctor over."
After saying this, Shancha wanted to run away, but Wen Mianmian grabbed her arm.
"Don't...don't go."
"But Princess, you..." Shancha was very worried about Princess' health.
Wen Mianmian took a while to calm down and finally suppressed the nausea in her stomach.
"I'm fine. I'll be fine in a while."
Wen Mianmian already guessed what was going on.
She thought she might be pregnant.
She didn't have her period last month, and at first she didn't think much of it, thinking it was delayed.
Knowing that she just now thought she might be pregnant.
As a modern person, she has some basic knowledge about pregnancy.
She has always been in good health and would often eat the spiritual fruits in the space.
So she has never been sick since she came here, and her reaction is somewhat consistent with the symptoms of pregnancy.
And she has been feeling sleepy lately, so maybe this is one of the reasons, but these are just her guesses at the moment.
If you want to confirm, you have to ask the court doctor to come and take a look.
"Princess, why don't I ask the court physician to come and take a look." Shancha was worried, fearing that something was wrong with the princess.
Wen Mianmian thought about it and felt that it would be better to ask the court doctor to come and take her pulse.
Wen Mianmian nodded and said, "Cha, ask Wang An to invite the court doctor over. Tell him that my throat is a little uncomfortable and I want him to take a look."
Although Shancha was a little confused, she still told Wang An what the princess had said.
When Wang An heard that the princess had a sore throat, he immediately put down what he was doing and ran to the palace doctor.
When Shannai heard that Gege was not feeling well, he hurried in.
"Princess, are you okay?" Shannai asked worriedly.
Why did my throat suddenly feel uncomfortable for no reason?
Could it be because I’ve eaten too many irritating foods these days?
"I'm fine, don't worry." Wen Mianmian didn't know how to tell them, so she decided to wait for the court doctor to arrive.
After saying that, she came and sat on the couch.
Shannai looked at Sister Shancha. She was the one who was serving the princess just now. Why did the princess suddenly feel unwell?
Shancha caught Shanna's gaze and shook her head at her.
She didn't know what happened to Gege. She had clearly vomited just now, but she asked her to tell Wang An that her throat was uncomfortable. She didn't know what was going on.
