Chapter 225 You Deliver It for Me
When Ye Jiayao went to pay her respects to Mrs. You in the evening, Imperial Physician Li was also there. It seemed that Mrs. You cared about her very much. When she was in a good mood, she liked to think positively about everything.
After checking Ye Jiayao's pulse, Imperial Physician Li changed the prescription for her. His tone was as calm as her face, and he said, "It has improved."
Youshi showed a happy expression. When Zhoushi came to visit in the afternoon, she hinted to her that Chunyu should take a concubine. To be honest, she had this thought when Li Yuyi said that it was difficult for the second son's wife to get pregnant. The second son's wife was good in other aspects, but as a woman, how could she not give birth as the future mistress of the Marquis's mansion? This matter troubled her for a long time. After thinking about it, she decided to give the second son's wife some more time. If she mentioned this at this time, Chunyu would definitely object, and the second son's wife would hate her. So, she suppressed this thought and waited and saw.
Let's wait for a year. If the second son's wife still hasn't gotten better and there's no movement after a year, I believe Chunyu will have nothing to say when we bring it up again. After all, as the crown prince, it is his unshirkable responsibility to carry on the family line, and the second son's wife will have even less to say and can't blame anyone.
Unexpectedly, she heard good news tonight. So, she did not ask any further questions, but just reminded Ye Jiayao to take medicine on time.
Ye Jiayao nodded obediently. She had always taken her medicine on time. She hoped to get better sooner than anyone else. Although the people around her were very careful and did not let her hear the rumors, she had eyes and could see and observe.
Those servants who used to be in awe of her would sometimes reveal expressions of regret and sighing.
Needless to say, it was Zhou who was making trouble out of nothing. He could say such things in front of her, and he would only get worse behind her back.
But there is no way to argue about this kind of thing, only facts can speak for themselves, but this fact cannot be achieved for the time being, so she can only endure it, like a bug hibernating in the cold winter, waiting for the first thunder.
After returning to the courtyard, Ye Jiayao wanted to give the prescription written by Imperial Physician Li to Qiao Xi and asked her to get the medicine tomorrow, but she took it back halfway through.
There was nothing wrong with Imperial Physician Li's prescription, but after taking it for so long, there had not been much improvement, so she thought she should try the medicine prescribed by the doctor at Renhetang.
Thinking of this, Ye Jiayao handed over the prescription written by the doctor at Renhetang yesterday.
Inside the glass room.
Xiaoya supported Liuli and walked slowly in the room, because Imperial Physician Li said that pregnant women should walk more often, which is beneficial for delivery.
"Has the prescription been opened?" Liuli asked as they walked.
"opened."
"is that OK?"
"There is no clue in the prescription. The key lies in the cordyceps."
Liuli nodded, a smile gradually appearing on her lips: "That's good."
Who will be able to find out what has been tampered with the Cordyceps sinensis and the medicine prescribed by Imperial Physician Li?
"Princess, the eldest young lady is here." The maid outside reported.
Liuli smiled, thinking that it was time for her to come.
Qiao didn't come to see her every day, but would come every two or three days.
"You can leave now." Liuli waved her hand and asked Imperial Physician Li to leave.
After sitting down, Mrs. Qiao stared at Liuli's belly with some envy for a while. She heard that the possibility of a boy was higher. It was really a blessing for her to get pregnant so soon, and it was a boy.
Unlike her, she gave birth to a daughter as her first child, and then there was no movement for three years. Fortunately, the mother-in-law calmly arranged Cuiyan to live somewhere else. Chunli did mention the idea of taking a concubine, but was scolded by the mother-in-law and dared not mention it again. The mother-in-law did not like taking a concubine unless it was absolutely necessary. So, Chunli has also paid attention to her recently. I hope there will be good news soon!
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and the topic shifted from Liuli's child to Niu Niu, and then to Qiao.
"Sister-in-law, it's time to consider having another child." Liuli said with a smile.
Mrs. Qiao actually blushed, feeling a little guilty, and said awkwardly: "Niuniu is still young, I want to wait until Niuniu is a little older."
Excuse, poor excuse. Liuli did not expose her, and sighed and said: "You can give birth but cannot, but my second sister-in-law wants to give birth but cannot."
Qiao had heard rumors before, and her second brother's wife had been taking medicine, but she didn't dare to ask directly. After hearing what Liuli said, she took the opportunity to ask: "Is it true?"
The illness of my second brother's wife was treated by Imperial Physician Li, so Liuli must know the inside story.
Liuli shook her head regretfully: "It's more difficult, but it's not hopeless." "Is that so..." Qiao also sighed, but she didn't feel much sympathy in her heart. On the contrary, she was very happy. With her second brother and sister-in-law to support her, her pressure was much less.
"Well, I sympathize with her. I hope she can get better soon." Liuli said sincerely.
Mrs. Qiao was a little surprised. She had heard that her third brother's wife had conflicts with her second brother's wife before, but she didn't expect that her third brother's wife still cared so much about her second brother's wife. Could it be that they had resolved their differences?
"That's right, my second brother and his wife are pretty good people." Qiao agreed.
Liuli smiled and said, "The other day, the Queen Mother gave me some nourishing food, which is the best cordyceps sinensis. Sister-in-law, you can take some back to nourish your body."
Qiao said embarrassedly: "How can that be possible? It was given to you by the Queen Mother."
Liuli smiled and said, "Why not? I have a mountain of supplements here. I can't finish them even if I use them as meals. Sister-in-law, just help me share some of the burden."
Then he told Xiaoya to get it. Just as Xiaoya was about to leave, Liuli stopped her and said, "Get two servings, and prepare one for my second sister-in-law as well."
After a while, Xiaoya brought two bags of Cordyceps sinensis.
Liuli said, "Sister-in-law, this big bag is for you, and this smaller bag, please pass it to the second sister-in-law for me! Don't say it was given by me, just say it was given by you."
Qiao was puzzled: "Why didn't the third brother's wife give it to her in person?"
Liuli said embarrassedly: "You also know that there were some misunderstandings between my second sister-in-law and me before. Although I have figured it out, we are a family, why should I care so much, but my second sister-in-law still seems to have a grudge against me. If I give it to her, she will think I want to harm her! Let my eldest sister-in-law give it to her for me!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao accepted it and said, "Okay, then I'll give it to her for you. Sooner or later, the second sister-in-law will understand the third sister-in-law's intentions."
The next day, Ye Jiayao came back from Tianshangju, and Xiangtao told her that the eldest young lady had come and gave her half a pound of Cordyceps sinensis, saying it was top quality and hard to get. She would keep half for herself and give the other half to you to nourish your body.
Ye Jiayao knew that Cordyceps sinensis was a good thing and very expensive. This time, Qiao was generous. However, she didn't like to take these supplements. If she was sick, she could just take medicine. Why should she take supplements at such a young age? Princess Yide had a lot of supplements! Let Qiao Xi put them away first.
Xiangtao added that the eldest young lady said that Cordyceps sinensis is most nutritious at this time and should not be kept for too long.
Ye Jiayao thought about it and decided to use it to stew chicken to nourish Chunyu.
The Imperial College is about to start, Zhongyuan and Fang Minrui come to Jinling as scheduled, but Ye Jiayao didn't expect Jinyao to come as well.
Xia Chunyu took time out that day to take Zhongyuan and Fang Minrui to the Imperial College to complete the admission procedures.
Ye Jiayao originally planned to arrange for the two to live in the small courtyard where they lived before. It was quiet there and a good place to study quietly. Anyway, they spent most of their time in the Imperial College and only went home two or three days a month. But Youshi thought it was not good to let them live outside when relatives came. Besides, Zhongyuan and Fang Minrui were both good seedlings, and she also wanted to make friends with them. Moreover, they could also keep Chunguo company, so she arranged for them to live in the mansion.
Xia Chunyu's idea was consistent with Youshi's. Of course, he had one more concern than Youshi. If Zhongyuan lived in the mansion, Zhongyuan would have less contact with Ye Jinrong. He didn't want Zhongyuan to be led astray by Ye Jinrong, that vicious woman.
Since Chunyu and Youshi both meant this, Ye Jiayao couldn't object and agreed, but she would be responsible for all of Zhongyuan and Minrui's expenses in the mansion.
The two were arranged to live in the outer courtyard, and the trouble was with Jin Yao. Jin Yao came this time to live permanently, saying that Ning had been divorced, and the house was cold and lonely, and she felt bored alone. Moreover, she didn't want to live with her second sister, because her mother was also there, and if she got close to her, her father would be unhappy.
What else could Ye Jiayao do? She couldn't just chase her away! She had no choice but to let Jin Yao live in her own yard.
Jin Yao had a melancholy look on her face, as if she was a poor homeless child who had to seek refuge with her sister. Her heart was very excited at this moment. After her brother-in-law left, her heart could no longer calm down. His handsome face was like engraved in her mind, lingering. She thought for a long time before making such a decision.
She knew very well that after her mother was divorced, her father would remarry and her status would plummet. Instead of staying at home to face her stepmother's face, it would be better to come here. Moreover, no one would plan her marriage with all their heart and soul. She might just be married off casually. In that case, it would be better for her to marry her eldest brother-in-law.
She was not like her second sister, who wanted to snatch the man away. She just wanted to stay here, to see that man often and hear his voice. If possible, she would not mind following the example of Ehuang and Nvying and sharing a husband with her eldest sister. Such an excellent man is the partner that every woman dreams of. Of course, she also knew the feelings of her eldest brother-in-law towards her eldest sister. Her requirements were not high, and she just wanted to occupy that small corner.
No one knew what was in the mind of this little girl, after all, she was only fourteen years old. Those who knew about the situation of the Ye family, such as Qiao Xi, felt a little sympathetic towards her, while those who did not know liked Ye Jinyao because she was beautiful and pretty.
Seeing that Jin Yao had always been well-behaved and polite, and that everyone in the mansion praised her, Ye Jiayao felt relieved. Let's live here! After all, they are sisters, and half of the blood flowing in their bodies is the same.
Just as the envoy sent by the King of Nanyue was about to arrive in Jinling, the appointment letter of my third uncle Xia Zhuoqin also came down, as the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Xia Chunyu was slightly surprised. He had already hinted to Su Xiang in a very subtle way that his third uncle was not suitable for this position, but it still fell on his uncle. Later he found out that it was Liuli's help.
