Chapter 304 Reply
It was a routine matter, and everything went smoothly.
Doctor Sun withdrew his hand with satisfaction and congratulated with a smile.
"Your Majesty, you are in good health, and the dragon fetus is safe."
"Thank you."
Jiang Wan also smiled and withdrew his hand.
In fact, she would check her own pulse from time to time, so of course she knew that the fetus was fine, otherwise she would not dare to work while pregnant.
"You're welcome. However, Her Majesty, you really need to take care of your pregnancy in the coming days. After all, we are old friends, so I won't beat around the bush."
Doctor Sun put away the pulse-taking pillow and gave the medical instructions calmly.
“There’s an old folk saying: Seven lives, eight lives.
Although it may sound a bit alarmist, it is true that women need to be more cautious as their pregnancy progresses.
Let’s just say, you should be careful during the first three months and the last three months of pregnancy.”
"I understand. I'll pay attention."
"Very well, I will take my leave now. I have recently gained some insights into the epidemic prevention method you proposed, and I want to quickly compile the relevant case studies into a book."
Doctor Sun, who is obsessed with medicine, is a very honest person. Since the Empress is safe and sound, he has to go back to the Imperial Hospital to do his regular business.
"Okay, then you can go back first. Hongzhu, go see off Doctor Sun."
"yes."
"I'll take my leave."
After Doctor Sun left, Jiang Wan leaned back in his chair, enjoying a rare moment of free time with nothing to do. Hongxiu habitually brought him some snacks and honey water.
"My Lady, would you like to have a bite?"
Their little master has a big appetite. Ever since she could move in the womb, she has often been hungry, and has developed the habit of eating small meals frequently.
"Not right now. Just leave it there for now. I'll eat it when I'm hungry."
"yes."
The master and servant chatted.
"My Lady, a letter has arrived from Dongling Mansion. Would you like to take a look?"
"Go get it."
"yes."
Hongxiu moved quickly and brought back a few letters after a while. Hongzhu, who had just returned from sending someone off, followed her into the house.
Jiang Wan took the letters and opened them one by one, with a smile on his face from time to time.
"My Lady, is there something happy happening in Dongling Mansion?"
Hongxiu had never been as steady as Hongzhu, and seeing her master's cheerful expression, she couldn't help but ask about it out of curiosity. Jiang Wan didn't seem to blame her, but smiled and shook the letter in his hand.
"After Meng Yu finished his report, he mentioned that Wan Jingya had already arranged a marriage two months ago. They had originally agreed to get married around the same time. However, due to the national mourning period, the wedding date would have to be moved to three years from now."
"Which family did Miss Wan choose?"
Hongzhu was also quite curious as she listened from the side. Miss Wan had a good family background, character, appearance and ability. I wonder which family's man she would marry?
"She said she had an engagement with a man named Zhuo from Dingzhou Prefecture. Meng Yu didn't go into detail in the letter about the details, so I guess she wasn't very clear about it.
Deng Linlang briefly reported on the affairs of the Salt Administration, stating that things had recently gotten back on track. However, Wan Qusheng mentioned that the livestock on the farm seemed to be struggling, and Doctor Zhang and his team were researching how to prevent them. The medicinal plots were doing well, however, and Miao Yue personally brought people there every few days to tend to them.
Well, everything is still on the right track and developing steadily.
However, Zhao Youyan wrote to me to complain, saying that a man in Dongling Mansion had once again sold his wife and daughter in order to take a concubine and have a son. She led her men to snatch the mother and daughter away, but she had a conflict with some other men, so she wrote to me specifically to ask me to make the decision.
"Ah? Could it be that even the powerful wife of the Tongzhi suffered a loss? Who did she fight against?"
"They say they are from the Qian family."
Hongzhu frowned and thought carefully.
"Where did the Qian family come from in Dongling Mansion?"
Jiang Wan folded the letter without moving his eyebrows, stuffed it back into the envelope and put it aside.
"They didn't exist when we were there, but that doesn't mean they can't go after we return to Beijing. Zhao Youyan's letter said that the man was from the direct branch of the Qian family, the same family that Old Man Deng wanted to marry Deng Linlang to."
He stood up and walked to the table, picked up a piece of paper and pen, and wrote something quickly. After putting down the pen, he grabbed the phoenix seal and stamped the letter.
"I'll write a letter of praise to Zhao Youyan. You did a great job and I'm very pleased with you."
Hongzhu and Hongxiu looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Madam Zhao will use this letter as a powerful weapon. Given that lady's personality, and with you, the current Queen Mother, openly backing her up, I doubt anyone will be able to gain any advantage from her."
"Otherwise, why would I give her the Phoenix Seal?"
Her red lips curled up, and the smile in her eyes was stunningly beautiful.
"Dongling Mansion cost me countless efforts, and I finally succeeded in pulling the women out of the backyard. If anyone dares to kick them back, I will kick him to death!"
She looked up at the sky in the direction of Dongling Mansion, and there was a sigh in her tone.
"Alas, we came to the capital to see our second daughter off to get married. Who could have known that not only would her marriage fall through, but that things would continue to change and turn out like this?"
The two personal maids hated to see their master frowning and sighing. She was pregnant with a little master, so how could she always be so worried?
The two of them quickly comforted him.
"Master, everything in this world has its own destiny. Although you and the Emperor have been forced to shoulder the responsibility, to put it another way, this is also the pinnacle! It's a great thing that many people would beg for!"
"What Hongxiu said makes sense. When you assigned tasks to your subordinates, didn't you always like to say, 'With great ability comes great responsibility?' Now the heavy burden of the country has fallen on your shoulders. What else can you do if you don't take it? Master, please be more open-minded."
Jiang Wan was amused by the two girls.
"Why are you trying to persuade me like this? Persuade the Emperor! I'm not complaining or crying."
After the ink dried on the paper, he folded it and stuffed it into an envelope. Then he wrote back to each of his subordinates, offering encouragement, instructions, and a generous helping of inspirational puns. He even finished by drawing a large, round, sweet sesame pie.
Let them all roll up their sleeves and work hard. As long as they can make outstanding achievements, we will find a way to transfer them all to the capital in the future. Then we can all show our talents together again.
It has to be said that after the princess was promoted to the queen, her ability to motivate her subordinates soared several levels.
After receiving the reply letter, the women in Dongling Mansion, who had been obviously in a state of decline without Jiang Wan's support, were instantly encouraged again.
