"Seventh younger brother and sister were fine last night, why are you sick today?"
Zhao Changqing whispered in a low voice.
Xiao Yuhan was also confused: "I don't know what's going on."
Not to mention the two of them, even Empress Yu also felt that something was wrong. However, in front of all her daughters-in-law, Empress Yu did not say much.
On that day, Queen Yu rewarded many tonics to the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
Xie Mingxi's "illness" lasted for five days.
Chief Gu Shanzhang handed over the affairs of Lianchi Academy to Master Ji and Master Yang, and then led Ruoyao to live in the Seventh Prince's Mansion. He claimed that Xie Mingxi was slightly ill and could not be left alone to take care of her.
When the Xie family heard about this, Xu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law immediately came to visit the patient and warmly expressed their intention to stay and take care of Xie Mingxi's health.
Xie Mingxi hinted rather tactfully: "Actually, there is nothing serious about my health, I just shouldn't be tired."
Mrs. Xu was so shrewd and experienced that she immediately guessed something, and the joy in her heart suddenly appeared on her brows. A woman is pregnant, and it is not appropriate to make it public. It is best to wait for three months, and the fetal phase is stable before talking about it.
Xie Mingxi became pregnant less than three months after her marriage, which is really a happy event!
Xu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stayed for half a day before returning to Xie's house.
"You, my grandmother, come from a humble background, but your behavior is commendable." Gu Shan smiled and praised: "It can be seen that a person's character is not directly related to how much he has read."
Some people, no matter how much they study, are still arrogant. For example, Xie Mingxi’s brother Xie Yuanting!
Chief Gu Shan was extremely disgusted with Xie Yuanting.
If it weren't for his evil deeds, Mrs. Yang's daughter Yang Ningxue would not have suffered humiliation. She has been refusing to marry until now. A nineteen-year-old girl is considered an old girl.
Xie Mingxi knew what Gu Shanchang was talking about as soon as she heard it, and said softly: "Master, don't worry. Xie Yuanting has been sent to Lin'an's old house long ago, and there is no way he can return to Beijing. Miss Yang was humiliated that day, but her innocence was not lost after all. When she thinks about it,
I will definitely arrange a good marriage for her."
Gu Shanchang nodded slightly and then said, "Didn't you ask a doctor to diagnose your pulse today?"
It is not advisable to invite the imperial physician in the palace for the time being, lest the news of pregnancy become known to everyone early.
Xie Mingxi smiled and nodded: "The doctor has been invited. I will ask Xianghui to invite the doctor in."
…
The person Xianghui invited was a famous doctor from the capital with superb medical skills.
The doctor briefly touched the pulse, then withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "Congratulations, the seventh prince's concubine is pregnant. The time is still short, but the pulse pattern is already obvious, and it can be confirmed that it is a happy pulse."
Before Xie Mingxi could say anything, Gu Shanchang was already smiling: "Okay, okay!"
It is naturally a great joy to have a positive pulse diagnosed.
Everyone was beaming with joy.
Xie Mingxi also quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had long been sure that she was pregnant, she always felt more at ease when a doctor diagnosed her with a positive pulse.
Xianghui hurriedly stepped forward and put the prepared purse into the doctor's hand. There were two hundred taels of silver notes in the purse. The doctor accepted it happily and said a series of things that needed to be avoided.
Gu Shanchang listened more seriously than Xie Mingxi. As soon as the doctor left, he ordered someone to bring in pen and ink. He used the pen like a dragon to write down everything.
Gu Shanchang is the most famous calligrapher in the capital. Even if someone comes to visit her with a huge sum of money, she may not be willing to write a few words. Today was a good day, and she could write several pages full of words.
As I was writing, I kept saying: "The first three months of pregnancy are the most important. It is best to write down everything the doctor has told you so as not to forget it."
Xie Mingxi: "..."
A strong, indescribable emotion surged fiercely in his chest. There was a soreness in his nose, and warm liquid was ready to flow in his eyes.
Is this what it feels like to be cherished, cared for and loved?
The happiness and beauty that she had never experienced in her previous life quietly came to her in this life. As smart, sharp and articulate as she was, there were times when she was so clumsy. After a long while, she squeezed out a few words: "Thank you, Master."
Gu Shanchang put away his pen, stepped forward, gently stroked Xie Mingxi's hair, and sighed softly: "Master has never married anyone in his life, has no children, and has broken up with his family. The only people close to him are
The Queen, my nephew Gu Qing, and your disciple are all."
"In my heart, I have long regarded you as my own daughter. Doing these little things for you is nothing."
"Master..." Xie Mingxi's voice suddenly choked up, and two tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
Gu Shanchang smiled and joked: "I heard that pregnant women are the most sensitive and fragile, and often cry. I finally witnessed it with my own eyes today."
After being a master and apprentice for several years, Master Gu was also very familiar with Xie Mingxi's temperament.
Xie Mingxi is smart and perseverant. No matter what difficulties she encounters, she always has a plan in mind and handles them calmly. This is the first time for her, as a master, to see her disciple shed tears.
Xie Mingxi was surprised to realize that she had shed tears, and she wiped away her tears shyly: "I made Master laugh."
Gu Shanchang laughed: "In front of me, laugh when you want to laugh, cry when you want to cry, and don't hide anything. However, the doctor just said that the most important thing to avoid when you are pregnant is to be overjoyed or sad, so as not to move the fetus.
For the sake of your children, you have to be patient."
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Before the child was born, she was already falling out of favor in front of her master!
…
After Sheng Hong returned home, he was overjoyed when he learned that the doctor had diagnosed the happy pulse. He immediately issued an order to reward all the maids and chamberlains in the palace with a month's salary. At the same time, he strictly ordered that no one should spread the news that the seventh prince's concubine was happy.
Outside the house.
Then, Sheng Hong discussed with Chief Gu in a serious manner: "...the first three months are the most important to take care of the fetus. It is not appropriate to run around and work, let alone worry. It is better to report the illness directly to Mingxi, so as to avoid every need.
Please greet me at Rijin Palace."
There is less effort, intrigue, and verbal bickering.
Gu Shanchang deeply agreed and nodded in agreement: "Going to the palace every day is indeed too tiring. However, there is no reason to complain about illness for a month. Mingxi's pregnancy is a happy event, not something shameful. It is inconvenient for you.
Say, I will go into the palace and speak to the Queen in private."
Only Mr. Gu Shanchang could "talk" to Queen Yu easily.
Sheng Hong smiled hurriedly and said: "Then it will be a long journey."
Shanchang Gu was not happy to hear these uninformed words and glanced at Sheng Hong: "I am Mingxi's master, so I should make a trip."
Sheng Hong was so obedient that he immediately changed his words: "What the mountain chief said was that I spoke inappropriately."
Xie Mingxi, who had no say from beginning to end, simply kept her mouth shut.
She has long been accustomed to taking care of everything for herself. This feeling of having someone to take care of and worry about is both new and wonderful. She just wants to be a "delicate" pregnant woman for once.
