Seeing Mingruo's thoughtful look, Si Haochen raised his hand and touched her hair: "You stay in the house obediently. You are not allowed to run around recently."
"Oh." Mingruo nodded.
"Let's go and have dinner." Si Haochen took Mingruo's hand and walked out.
Mingruo was already very hungry and had no appetite: "It's almost bedtime, but I still won't eat."
"The time is coming, but it's still early for the lady to go to bed." Si Haochen raised a smirk on his lips, "If you don't eat well, the lady will lose strength again."
Mingruo rolled his eyes: "You've been working all day long, can't you think of something serious?"
"Ahem." Si Haochen coughed lightly, "As long as I see my wife, it's hard for my husband to think about anything else..."
"..." Mingruo didn't even know what to say to Si Haochen.
"Come and have a meal. Today, the small kitchen made the assorted shrimp balls and roasted sea cucumbers with green onions that my wife likes." Si Haochen smiled softly.
"Just eat, why are you laughing?" Looking at Si Haochen's current expression, Mingruo could only think of a common saying - a weasel greeting a rooster in the New Year is not a good intention.
The two sat down in the small flower hall, and Zi Cao and Aunt Dong quickly put out the food. Zi Su and Ji Yue went to the Tangchi Hall to prepare things for the master's bath.
I didn’t have much of an appetite at first, but Grandma Dong made a cold dish of shredded bamboo shoots that was very appetizing. Mingruo drank a bowl of mung bean porridge with the cold dish.
"Come, eat more." Si Haochen diligently prepared dishes for his wife.#@$&
"I think you want to fatten me up before eating..." Mingruo poked at the vegetables in the bowl.
"Don't worry, madam, you won't gain weight." Si Haochen said with a smile on his lips.
"..." Mingruo gritted her teeth and swallowed the last bite of food under Si Haochen's ambiguous eyes. She accepted her fate and was carried to the Tangchi Palace.
Mingruo spent three days in the house fattening piglets. This morning, he got up from the bed and beat his waist.
Si Haochen, who was quietly changing into court clothes, turned his head and looked over: "Why did Ruo'er get up so early?"%&(&
"Today I am going to General Yingwu's Mansion with my third aunt to visit the general's wife." Mingruo said while tying her clothes.
The general's wife's cesarean section was a transverse incision, and the sutures are almost ready to be removed today. Mingruo also needs to observe the mother's recovery status.
Si Haochen frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you."
"Aren't we going to court today?" Mingruo raised his hand to smooth Si Haochen's court clothes and helped him hang up his purse and jade pendant. "Third aunt will come to pick me up and go with me. Everything will be fine."
"Okay, let's have breakfast later." Si Haochen lowered his head and kissed Mingruo's forehead, "I'll go down and pick you up."
"Okay." Mingruo watched Si Haochen go out and then wandered to the flower hall to have breakfast.
After that, under the service of Ji Yue, Zi Su and Grandma Dong, they tied up their hair and changed their clothes before going out, and got on the carriage to the General's Mansion. It was almost time.
"Have you had breakfast if Ruo'er? Auntie prepared snacks." Mrs. Su San opened the food box on the table.
"Already used it." Mingruo smiled and waved her hand.
When the two arrived at General Yingwu's mansion, they saw many relatives and friends coming to visit the general's wife, and they had to eat a bowl of eggs stewed with sweet wine outside before leaving.
Mrs. Su San saw the wet nurse holding the baby, and quickly pulled Mingruo to look at it: "Come on, give us a hug."
Mrs. Su San took the baby from the wet nurse and carefully put it into Mingruo's arms: "Ruo'er, please hug me, and I'll have a bowl of eggs stewed with sweet wine later."
The old nun who was responsible for taking care of the general's wife smiled and said: "Old slave, I will ask the girl to bring you a bowl. The sweet wine stewed eggs in our small kitchen are delicious. The ladies from all the houses say they are delicious."
"No need to bother." Although Mingruo is a doctor, he is still a little nervous with a soft baby in his arms.
"Princess, please just have a bowl." Aunt Dong, who followed Mingruo out today, also tried to persuade her.
"Huh?" Mingruo was a little confused, why did everyone let her eat eggs stewed in sweet wine.
Mrs. Su San saw the maid bringing sweet wine stewed eggs and quickly took the child: "If Ruo'er eats it while it's hot, you will be blessed with Su Xin. Next year, we will also treat you to sweet wine stewed eggs."
Aunt Dong also told Mingruo about Donghuan's custom of eating stewed eggs in the maternal yard to bring good luck.
"I'll go see Madam first." Mingruo just wanted to say, thank you for your kindness, I really don't need it now...
An old lady was accompanying the general's wife in the inner room. The general's wife, who was originally lying down, saw Ming Ruo coming in, so she stood up and saluted: "Princess, your Majesty."
"Ma'am, there's no need to be polite." Ming Ruo stepped forward and gently pressed the general's wife's shoulders.
The old lady saluted directly: "Wish you well, Princess."
"Old madam, please get up quickly." Ming Ruo felt quite helpless like "pressing down the gourd made the ladle float up."
"Thanks to the princess for saving my little girl's life." The old lady's eyes were filled with gratitude.
"Old lady, you're welcome." Mingruo figured out the relationship and found out that this old lady should be the biological mother of her third aunt.
"Mom came earlier than me." The third aunt walked into the inner room with a smile.
"As people get older, they sleep less. They can't fall asleep at midnight, so they get up early." The old lady gently stroked her forehead.
Mingruo saw that the old lady had heavy dark circles under her eyes, probably the result of years of insomnia.
"My mother is often sleepy. If she can sleep for two or three hours at night, she will be fine." The third aunt helped Mrs. Li massage her head. "If you don't sleep well, you will get a headache easily. Ruo'er, let's take a look."
"Okay." Mingruo took out the pulse pillow from the medical bag and put it on the table, "Old Madam, please."
"Thank you, Princess." Mrs. Li put her hand on the pulse pillow.
Mingruo checked her pulse carefully and said, "This is an old problem, Madam. I'm going to prescribe a prescription to soothe the nerves. If you take it for a while, it should improve a bit."
"This problem in my body was acquired when I was young. It would be good if it can be alleviated a little bit." Mrs. Li said hurriedly.
Ming Ruo wrote Zhang Fangzi and handed it to Mrs. Li. A Yuan also brought a treatment tray, intending to loosen the bandage and clean the wound for the general's wife: "Master."
"Take off the bandage first." Mingruo turned to Mrs. Li and Mrs. Su and said, "You two, please go out first."
"Okay." Mrs. Su San helped Mrs. Li up, "Mother, let's go out to see your granddaughter first, and don't disturb Ruo'er and the others."
"Your Majesty, Princess, you have taken the trouble." Mrs. Li thanked her again.
Mingruo looked at the recovery status of the wound and saw that it was ready to remove the stitches: "I'll remove the stitches, and you prepare the dressing that will be used later."
"Yes." A Yuan took the sterilized cotton gauze, cut it to a suitable size, and began to prepare the bandage.
Mingruo removed the sutures one by one and cleaned the incision with alcohol cotton: "It will hurt a little."
"Yeah." The general's wife snorted briefly. Mingruo thought she was in pain, so she didn't pay much attention.
"A Yuan, bring the dressing." Seeing that A Yuan didn't respond, Ming Ruo turned around to look.
I felt a heavy blow on the back of my neck, a flash of red flashed in my blurred vision, and I passed out.
