If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

There are many people in the capital who share the same idea as Sun Shao. After all, in an era when production was mainly based on manpower, having many children meant more blessings.

The Chu family closed their doors to visitors. Everyone knew that the baby in Mrs. Chu's belly was only slightly less precious than the royal heir. If anything went wrong, it would probably be performed by caesarean section. So after being rejected twice, no one dared to come to their house anymore.

Then people turned their attention to the Feng family and the Situ family. Although the people of these two families also made various excuses, they would always be caught, right? So recently, not only the wives of the families have been running to the Chu Mansion frequently, but the doormen of the two families were too lazy to change their words when rejecting people.

Even the heads of the Feng, Chu and Situ families could not escape. Whether they were leaving court or on the road, they were always surrounded and blocked. Some wanted to confirm whether the news was true, some asked questions suitable for the situation, and most wanted to see if they could buy herbs or prescriptions.

That day, the three of them were stuck on the way to the imperial study after court session.

"Greetings, three gentlemen." An old man with half-white hair and beard stood on the road that the three people had to pass, waiting for them with a smile. Seeing that his hair was a little frizzy due to the wind, it was obvious that he had been waiting for a while.

And he was standing here waiting for the three of them. Patriarch Feng slightly turned his head and glanced at Patriarch Chu and Patriarch Situ who were walking on his left and right respectively. Seeing that the two of them were intentionally avoiding his gaze, it was obvious that they didn't want to talk to anyone today.

"Hehehe," Patriarch Feng touched his nose and laughed dryly twice, "Thank you for your courtesy, old man. Are you going to the imperial study? Perfect, let's go together."

The old man glanced at the three of them and was not fooled by the two words of the Feng family head. The old woman at home had given him a strict order before leaving today, that he must get one or two facts, otherwise he would not be able to enter the house again today.

He has been waiting here for nearly two hours for this purpose. "Lord Feng has said that I will not go to the imperial study today. I am here to wait for the three Lords."

The others who were walking in groups of three or four not far from them slowed down their pace and pricked up their ears when they heard what was happening.

"Hehe, old man, you are joking. If you have anything to say, just send someone to tell me. How can I let you wait here?" The head of the Feng family continued to laugh.

The heads of the Chu and Situ families bowed and looked straight at the ground below them, as if pretending not to hear or see anything unless their names were called.

"Lord Feng, you are too polite. I am really forced into a corner by the old woman at home, so I had to resort to this last resort. Please forgive me." The old man bowed to the head of the Feng family with a bitter face.

With the status of the Feng family, the Chu family, and the Situ family, they could have stepped on them without much reason, and no one in Haoyue dared to say anything bad about them, but they gave them face, so they couldn't be shameless, right? So the old man didn't play Tai Chi anymore, and directly explained his purpose, and also said that he had no choice but to do so.

Patriarch Feng looked at the old man who was standing in the middle of the road with a wry smile on his face but had no intention of moving or making way. He then glanced at the other colleagues who were gradually gathering around him, and knew that if he didn't say something today, he would have no chance of getting away.

He sighed secretly in his heart, and said helplessly: "If the old man and my colleagues want to ask about the prescription today, I can only say sorry."

"First, we don't have any right now. Second, even if we did, we wouldn't dare give it to anyone. Anyone who knows a little bit about medicine knows that everyone's physical condition is different. The same prescription that you use to cure illnesses and save lives may kill me."

"So everyone just blocked our door every day, and our three families have the same attitude. We can't joke about the health of everyone's family and friends."

Everyone was disappointed when they heard this, but they also nodded secretly to what Patriarch Feng said. They realized that their recent behavior was indeed a bit unreasonable. Just as Patriarch Feng said, if they rashly threw out a prescription to everyone, they would probably not be surrounded by people, but be secretly pointed at and poked in the back.

The old man was stunned for a moment with a stiff expression when he heard this, then he replied with embarrassment with a slightly red face: "I am forcing you." Just as he was about to move aside to make way, the old woman's instructions suddenly echoed in his mind, so he had to stop abruptly.

"Lord Feng, Lord Chu, Lord Situ, could you please pass a message to the eldest princess and ask her to write a letter to help. My family has been worried about our eldest daughter and her hair has turned white. I have almost lost my life because of this." After saying this, she bowed deeply to the three of them.

Others also responded, "Please ask the three adults to pass a message to the princess. Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, we will be grateful."

"Yes, yes, yes. I beg the three adults to take care of it."

Every adult has family members, relatives, and friends who are more or less troubled by this. Years of war have caused the population of Haoyue to drop sharply. Although each household does not favor boys over girls, the pursuit of offspring is not too much, right?

Not to mention those ladies from various mansions who have never had children or who want to have more children. Their desire for children is no less than that of ordinary people in Liuzhou Prefecture.

This is also one of the reasons why everyone was so crazy after hearing that Mrs. Chu was pregnant again after more than ten years.

Patriarch Feng, Patriarch Chu, and Patriarch Situ exchanged glances, and Patriarch Feng spoke on behalf of the other party. "Well, we understand everyone's feelings. Let's talk about this when we meet the emperor. Let's see if he can write to the princess and ask her to think of some way to help everyone."

Hearing the promise made by the head of the Feng family, everyone showed a surprised expression, and then thanked the three people one after another. The old man stepped aside and made way.

The three of the Feng family head bowed and returned the greeting, then walked towards the direction of the imperial study. Not far away, they saw the emperor's personal eunuch looking over here.

"Old man, go back and wait for news. I believe that as long as the princess has a way, she will not sit idly by." The head of the Chu family said in a low voice when they passed each other, and the head of the Situ family also leaned over and nodded to him.

After hearing this, the old man's eyes could no longer hold back and turned red. He then bowed deeply to the three people as they left.

Soon, what happened on the way to the imperial study after court session and the conversation between several people were vividly conveyed to the ears of those who were paying attention, and everyone's hearts, which had been hanging for a long time, finally settled down a little.

In the imperial study, the three family heads were also reporting to the emperor what happened on the way here today. As for the four old men, they were now gathered in the emperor's palace playing mahjong.

It not only made them happy physically and mentally, but also perfectly avoided the embarrassment of being blocked. Who doesn't have a respected hometown? They could ignore the face of the younger generation, but if the old guys from various mansions in the capital city came forward, they had to be courteous. Later, they simply hid in this deep palace.

"Your Majesty, it's not a solution if things continue like this. None of us dare to go out. People block us wherever we go." The head of the Chu family joked helplessly. It was a great joy that his wife was pregnant, but being watched by everyone in the capital every day was too much for anyone.

"Yes, yes. Alas, my family has started to learn from the Chu family and has closed its doors to visitors." Patriarch Situ said, following Patriarch Chu's intention.

The emperor, who was sitting at the top, looked at the three friends who grew up with him at the bottom, curled his lips in a somewhat impolite manner, and scolded with a smile: "Just say what you want to say. You are beating around the bush in front of me. I am tired of listening to you even if you are not tired of talking."

The head of the Feng family also said, "Ha, that's what I've been waiting for. Your Majesty, can you please write a letter to the eldest princess and ask her to think of a way to resolve this matter?"

"First, we can live a normal life, and everyone won't have to keep their eyes on us, the people of the three prefectures. Second, if we can really increase the population of Haoyue, that would be a great thing, right?"
