Traveling through: I rely on space to raise the sick Wei Wang

Chapter 296 Got it
Xu Ruqing glanced at her belly with interest, then put down the teacup in her hand: "How happy are you?"

Chu Yu didn't expect Xu Ruqing to ask this. Her smile froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered. "Sister, you're really good at joking. Let's not talk about this for now. I heard that according to Dongyuan customs, holding a birth-inducing banquet is to pray for the safety of mother and child. The birth went smoothly. I don't know if he likes a boy or a girl. What do you think, Princess?"

Xu Ruqing really thought about this question and said, "Girls, he is stricter with boys, so it might be different for girls."

"That's really unfortunate. The imperial physician who helped me with my pregnancy said that I'm very likely carrying two boys. But I think after all, they are the bloodline of the Su family. Having two younger brothers will be like having more left and right arms, which will make things easier for Yi'an."

Xu Ruqing smiled faintly: "It's hard to say. Who can predict the future accurately? Whether it's a boy or a girl, whether it can be born smoothly, these are all unknowns."

Chu Yu, who was suspicious by nature, had a look of surprise and guilt on his face.

What does she mean by this?
When she was nervous, she subconsciously felt an itch on her neck. Chu Yu inadvertently raised her hand to loosen her collar, thinking that it was too tight. "Sister, what do you mean by that? I don't understand."

This movement made Xu Ruqing notice that the back of her neck was red, and she could vaguely see a few small pimples that looked like rashes.

Xu Ruqing's eyes moved slightly: "Nothing, I just suddenly thought of Ouyang Bihua. She just fainted. Guess what I saw when I went to treat her?"

"What did you see?"

"She was eating meat." Xu Ruqing deliberately exaggerated: "Tsk, that meat smelled really good. I kept asking her what kind of meat it was and which cook cooked it. I wanted to try it someday, but she wouldn't tell me. She had a big rash on her body and fainted suddenly, but don't you think it's magical? After eating the meat, she recovered in a few moments!"

"It's the first time I've heard of such a miraculous thing."

"I heard from her maid that the meat was given by a man called Mr. Bai, who said it has miraculous effects on beauty and skin care... Don't you know that man? It's better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. Why don't you recommend him to me?"

Chu Yu dodged her gaze and said, "Where did you hear that from my sister? I've been staying in Fengxiang Palace to rest and take care of my baby. I've been having morning sickness and vomiting all day long. It's hard for me to even go out, let alone meet anyone. As for Mr. Bai, this is the first time I've heard of him today."

Xu Ruqing retracted his gaze: "Really? That's a pity."

As they were talking, beautiful and ethereal singing could be heard intermittently from the center of the banquet. A row of dancers, with their sleeves raised, entered the venue in an orderly manner accompanied by the music. The noisy crowd gradually quieted down, and all eyes were attracted by the enchanting dancing postures.

"Sister Princess, just throw away the snacks once they're cold to avoid getting an upset stomach." Chu Yu casually snatched them away and threw them on the ground, reminding her kindly.

Xu Ruqing was then shocked to realize that the osmanthus cake in her hand had passed its best-ever tasting time without her noticing. The cake still had a slight residual heat and was not cold at all.

I don't know which concubine's cat came to pick up the food. The cat was used to eating good food all year round, so it just licked the cakes twice and walked away with disgust.

Xu Ruqing looked at the dusty osmanthus cake on the ground and couldn't help but feel sorry: "The royal chef must have spent a lot of effort to make such a plate of dessert and ensure that it is hot when it reaches the diners. There are also workers who pick flowers. It is not suitable to grow osmanthus trees in the palace, so they can only purchase them from Yuecheng, which is a hundred miles away from the imperial city. From picking, ensuring the freshness of the flowers, transportation, to using them in cakes, any interruption in any of the procedures will lead to failure. Now you are wasting this delicacy." "Dongyuan is vast and rich in resources, and the imperial palace is even more prosperous and prosperous. This little osmanthus cake is nothing."

After hearing this, Xu Ruqing just sighed slightly.

Who knows dishes on the menu, A Journey.

The royal family has a lot of money and holds banquets from time to time. The money and food wasted on this banquet are enough to ensure that ordinary people have no worries about food and clothing for several years.

As far as Xu Ruqing knows, the Prince of Wei's Mansion has lost a lot of money in the past few years because of the war. Originally, they fought for the country, but Emperor Yan Qian always made excuses at the critical moment. He was unwilling to mobilize the imperial palace troops, and even the national treasury was unwilling to open to supply food and grass. As the leader of the army, Su Yichen had to shed his own blood to stabilize the morale of the army. Although it was a drop in the bucket, it seemed too easy to bully if he kept letting others ask for it.

The emperor insisted on recruiting beautiful women to expand the harem every three years. It cost a lot to keep women. The recruitment of soldiers was often negotiated by the Prince of Wei and the Prince of Zhennan. The Long family was stingy except for ensuring that they had good food, drink and entertainment. The Prince of Zhennan was smart. With the Prince of Wei supporting them, they would not give money if they could. Only Su Yichen felt sorry for the soldiers and the people. For him, as long as money could solve the problem, it was not a big deal.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, sister Princess. How are you doing?"

While she was thinking, Concubine Guo Shu, wearing a dark blue dress, came in front of Xu Ruqing.

Her hair was combed meticulously and she wore a chamois crown. She looked dignified and delicate, with a rosy face and a cheerful expression.

Xu Ruqing smiled calmly: "As Concubine Shu can see, I am fine."

Concubine Guo Shu naturally sat down on the empty seat next to her. "The once-in-a-decade ceremony of diplomatic relations will be held soon. This ceremony symbolizes our country's strong strength, and many countries will come to pay tribute and show their goodwill. By then, Concubine Chu's child will be exactly one hundred days old, which can be said to be a double happiness. Even the emperor said that the arrival of this child is an auspicious sign. The diplomatic relations ceremony will surely be held smoothly and with great fanfare."

"Well, your Majesty is right."

Xu Ruqing's reaction was beyond Concubine Guo's expectations. Logically, her words would make her unhappy, but she didn't expect her to be so magnanimous and calmly agree with her words.

"The Su family has few descendants, and it has been five years before they have another one. The King of Wei must be very happy... As the saying goes, a mother is honored by her son. Sister, don't blame me for being too talkative. You should also be more careful." Concubine Guo said this sincerely.

Xu Ruqing's eyes moved slightly. She said nothing, but covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief to pretend to vomit. The smell of powder coming and going made her stomach feel uncomfortable.

"I don't even know when my mouth was blessed... Are you really pregnant?"

Xu Ruqing smiled, saying everything without saying a word.

"Oh, this is such a great joy!" Concubine Guo smiled happily and quickly ordered her maid to bring cushions and felt to Xu Ruqing, fearing that she would be cold.
