Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother

Begonia Garden

Yixiu put down the account book in his hand, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and yawned involuntarily.

Jianqiu brought a cup of red date tea at the right time and placed it next to her, "Master, have a cup of red date tea. You haven't looked very well these past few days, so you need to replenish your energy and blood."

Yixiu drank it in three or two gulps, and finally frowned and said, "It's a bit too sweet, put less sugar next time. But Honghui likes sweet drinks, so when he comes back the day after tomorrow, you can give him some too."

"Yes, I've remembered it! Don't worry."

"Honghui works very hard in the study room. He only comes back once every three days. I can't always ask him to come back, but he can still go to the front yard to get snacks and food. The prince will have no objection when he sees it."

"The eldest prince is ambitious and sensible. Not only has he been praised many times in the study, he has also painted a picture album for his younger brothers and sisters. I heard that the album has sold six or seven hundred copies! Our eldest prince is only six years old, but he has achieved such success. Tell me, how can ordinary people compare to him? Concubine, you don't know how much the concubines and princesses in the mansion envy you!"

After some flattery, Yixiu couldn't stop smiling: "After all, he is the eldest prince in the mansion, and he has a heavy burden on his shoulders! Honghui works so hard, and I, as his mother, can't hold him back. Jianqiu, it's September in a few days, have you ordered the monthly allowance for next month?"

"I have ordered everything and I am ready for you to use it. Concubine Qi has also sent me the monthly account book. Would you like to order it again?"

Yixiu nodded indifferently: "Put it there first, I'll take a look later. Jianqiu, pick the best ones from Fu Jin's place. Fu Jin Qi has a daughter, the eldest princess, Fu Jin Li has a daughter, the third prince, and there's also Song who is pregnant. Starting from next month, add 10% to all the allowances. I've already asked for your permission."

"The concubine has a kind heart. If the two concubines and Princess Song knew about this, they would definitely be grateful to you!"

"Why should I need their gratitude? What's a little allowance? I'm not the mistress or wife of the mansion, so I can be generous. It will be the best of both worlds if they don't cause me trouble or challenge Honghui's status!" After saying this, Yixiu felt a little nauseous in her chest, and hurriedly drank a cup of red date tea to suppress it.

Jian Qiu was extremely worried and couldn't help but ask, "Master, how about asking the palace doctor to come and take a look?"

Yixiu waved her hand and rejected her kindness: "Don't worry, the court doctor comes to check my pulse every half a month. Today is August 25th, so we can just wait another five days. There's no need to go through so much trouble to summon the court doctor! Besides, you know, my stomach has always been bad. It's an old problem for many years. It's normal to damage my stomach if I use too much cold or icy food or get exposed to the wind. I'll ask the court doctor to prescribe some pills and I'll be fine after some rest."

"By the way, Song is almost five months pregnant. Let everyone below be alert and not leave any opportunity for others to take advantage of her! No matter what, when I'm the housekeeper, I want to make sure there isn't a single grandson who dies young in this mansion. As for whether the grandson is healthy or not, it all depends on the methods of his biological mother!" This was not only to slap his elder sister in the face, but also because he couldn't let down the title of 'virtuous' bestowed by His Majesty.

"Master, don't worry. The servants have been paying attention to you these days. But your health is the most important thing. You'd better let the palace doctor check your pulse as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the eldest prince finds out, he will definitely blame me for not serving you well enough." Jianqiu is a personal maid and also her most trusted confidant. In her mind, the most important thing is whether the master is healthy. Everything else takes a back seat.

Thinking of her master's recent physical condition, she added hesitantly, "Also, your period this month is already five or six days late..."

"Don't think too much about it. Ever since I was injured three years ago, my period has been delayed from time to time. I think it's the same this time! Didn't the palace doctor say a few days ago that I should continue to recuperate?"

"Master, you'd better call the palace doctor to take my pulse, otherwise I will feel uneasy..." Jianqiu persuaded earnestly, and for a while she seemed to be unwilling to give in.

"Four or five days won't delay much, so let's wait a few more days."

"Master, when the eldest prince returns home the day after tomorrow, if he knows you are like this, he will be distracted from studying in the upper study..."

When it came to her son, Yixiu immediately came back to her senses: "Well, call the court doctor in to take his pulse, and I'll let you guys rest assured."

In less than half an hour, the court physician with a moustache came hurriedly to Haitang Garden carrying a medicine box.

"I pay my respects to the concubine." This palace doctor was newly hired in recent years, so he knows best who is in charge of the Fourth Prince's mansion. This person is not the Fourth Prince's wife, but the virtuous concubine who gave birth to the eldest prince.

Since he had dealt with him many times before, Yixiu just waved his hand and let him come forward to take his pulse.

Unexpectedly, after the court doctor took my pulse, his expression became serious, and he said respectfully, "Concubine, please change your hand."

What's wrong? Is there any serious illness? Yixiu stretched out her other hand nervously.

Before she could guess, the court doctor came forward with a look of joy on his face and congratulated her, "Congratulations, Concubine, you are pregnant, and it will be in about a month..."

Yixiu stood up in astonishment and asked impatiently, "Are you serious? Could it be that the diagnosis was wrong? Doesn't my wife need to take care of her body before she has a chance to get pregnant?"

"Don't worry, Concubine. I am good at taking women's pulses. If your pulse is like a rolling ball, you are pregnant, right? However, your pregnancy is relatively new, and your pulse is a little vague, so I have to check it repeatedly. If you are still not sure, wait a few days and send another doctor to take your pulse and you will know.

As for the fact that you are pregnant before your body has been fully recovered, that is not a problem. The cold in your body has been basically removed. You may get pregnant someday if you are lucky. This is what your pulse indicates now."

After the palace doctor left, Jianqiu stepped forward to congratulate him repeatedly: "Congratulations, master, congratulations, master, you are going to give your eldest prince a full brother..."

"Wait a minute to congratulate me. Go tell Su Peisheng who is beside me that I have received the invitation. I want to ask the imperial physician from the palace to come and take my pulse, otherwise I will feel uneasy." Yixiu really wasn't sure that she was pregnant so soon. To be safe, she had to ask the imperial physician to take her pulse.

However, the fact was that she was indeed pregnant, the court physician's pulse diagnosis was correct, and the imperial physician's words were sufficient evidence.

Then, a piece of news set off the entire Fourth Prince's Mansion: the virtuous concubine of Haitangyuan was pregnant again!
