Leisurely Four Fortunes

Chapter 169

The snow and ice melted, and the sycamore trees in front of the window were green. The green leaves on the branches gradually blocked the sunlight that shone into the main house. April in the capital came quietly.

"Sit still and don't move. Grandpa goes to the study to deal with something."

Xiaoyi was helped to the bed by the fourth master. Since she was four months pregnant, her belly has grown like a balloon.Two children means greater risk, and the chances of all surviving are very low.Ordinary people are generally unable to support them, and if something goes wrong, they may die.

Therefore, she did not dare to slack off at all. Chef Yang ate his health-preserving meals on time, and stepped on his bicycle every day.

"Well, this concubine has enough people here, so I can just be busy with peace of mind."

Fourth Master heaved a sigh of relief, entering April, Xiao Fujin's moody temper finally improved a lot, and only then did he feel a little bit of spring.Covered her with a thin quilt, walked out of the main room, saw Su Peisheng nodding at him, and hurriedly walked towards the study.

"Greetings to Prince Yong."

In the study room, a middle-aged man wearing a doctor's uniform tied a thousand knots. It was Doctor Li.

"Come on, but you can tell if it's a man or a woman."

Doctor Li pondered: "This slave is not proficient in this matter, so it may not be accurate."

"The matter of childbirth depends entirely on God's will. I can't force it. You can just say what you knock out. There are specialties in the art industry, after all, you have to be more accurate."

Doctor Li breathed a sigh of relief, he is not afraid of accidents if he makes a mistake, so he can rest assured.Considering his words, he respectfully replied: "From what I see, it's probably twins of a dragon and a phoenix."

"really?"

"Be sure to be more than [-]%."

Fourth master was not happy, but frowned.After a long while, he seemed to have figured something out, and let out a long breath of relief.

"This matter must not be announced to the outside world. After all these years, I believe that you are not such a talkative person."

Doctor Li bowed and nodded, he knew all the rules, and he also understood King Yong's concerns.He doesn't need to say much at this moment, he believes that the king of Yongjun has no doubts about employing people, and the two have worked together for so many years, and each has their own strengths and reliance on each other, so nothing will happen this time.

"It's the best, I need you to do something."

Lowering his head and approaching him, fourth master whispered.Seeing him nodding without hesitation, he felt even more confident.

"Su Peisheng, send Imperial Physician Li out."

He was the only one left in the study, looking out the window, he sighed.Although Huang Ama didn't say how many A Ling'a found out in Jiangnan, he probably knew that the officialdom there was rotten from the root.And most importantly, most of them are the prince's staff.

Huang Ama wanted to keep the prince, but also wanted to secure her own country, and her suspicions became more and more serious day by day.Now he doubts whether the prince can last for 47 years like in his previous life.

"What would you like to eat tonight?"

Back in the main room, fourth master looked so high-spirited again.Xiaoyi leaned in his arms. She wondered why Fourth Master had been so leisurely recently. Except for going to court, he would deal with official duties for an hour when he returned home, and spent the rest of the time with her.

"Chef Yang can eat whatever he wants, I still have a choice?"

Puckering her lips, a hand stretched over her face and pinched her cheek.While playing, he persuaded: "Chef Yang's craftsmanship is not bad, if you don't like it, it's okay to eat something else occasionally?"

Just as Xiaoyi wanted to go back, she suddenly realized why this person kept grabbing his face.She thought of Yao'er's favorite doll when she was a child, and she seemed to be hugging and pinching it in her arms all the time.

"What are you doing?"

Hearing the sullenness in Xiao Fujin's voice, Fourth Master's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly let go.It's all because her skin feels so good that she can't touch other places, so he can only pinch his hands and face to satisfy his greed.

"Take my concubine as a plaything?"

"No, Grandpa absolutely didn't mean that."

"My concubine believes in me, but my master rarely does this. Let me think about it, do you think my concubine is getting fat?"

After finishing speaking, she got out of bed and walked in front of the mirror. This was a full-length mirror that fourth master had specially bought in exchange for. The body of the mirror was made of colored glass, which was much clearer than the bronze mirror.Usually, she doesn't feel anything when she uses it, but now she has a heart, looking at the bloated woman in the mirror, no matter how ugly she looks.

"Sure enough, it's no wonder the master gave me this mirror to let my concubine take a look at myself. I know I'm ugly, so you can't bear to just say it..."

Where did this go? Fourth Master felt that the times were changing too fast.Now Xiao Fujin was about to cry, but he was helpless.

"Where is Xiaoyi fat, you are just right."

"Then you are saying that being a concubine was not suitable before? It has been 13 years since we got married, and you are telling the truth."

It started again, and the fourth master used his trump card: "Don't think too much, I will tell you something about the Niu Gulu family."

"I've heard what Che Jilu said several times. If you don't say that you are ugly today, this matter will never end!"

After Xiaoyi finished speaking, she lowered her eyes, her changeable temper had already healed.Besides, it's not like she hasn't seen someone who is pregnant before, and someone like her who only has a big belly but not fat elsewhere is already considered excellent.It's just that she just wanted to see fourth master helpless and wronged.

She was really suffocated in her previous life, as if she drank a glass of snow water, her whole body felt refreshed from the inside out.

"Don't get angry, it's guaranteed to be new today."

Speaking of which, the fourth master glanced at Xiaoyi who was opposite, and saw that her fingers were slightly bent upwards, as if she was holding back a smile.He reacted immediately, and his tone became softer: "If you don't like to listen, I won't make it hard for you. Now that you are annoyed by looking at me, I'd better go to the kitchen first and see if your bird's nest is stewed."

After speaking, he walked out without looking back, slowed down his pace and made a heavy posture, and silently said: "five", "four", "three", "two",

"One"

"Wait, daddy."

Holding him with one hand, Xiaoyi's voice sounded: "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, watching bird's nests is a servant's job."

After she finished speaking, she pointed her fingers and began to feel awkward.Fourth Master knew that she was being shy, so he refused to ask him to keep him.If it was someone else, he would definitely leave without a pick.But this is the person on the tip of his heart, and if she keeps him, he will be as sweet as drinking honey, so why would he care about these things with her.

"Then tell you about Niu Gulu's family?"

Xiaoyi murmured, raised her chin and said like a queen: "Sir, tell me, what's new today."

"Emperor Li said that the fetal position of Niu Gulu's is extremely unstable, and it is very likely to be born prematurely."

This is the first time Xiaoyi heard of it, touching her belly, it was the first time she sympathized with Niu Gulushi.Pregnant in October, watching him grow up from the womb little by little, enduring the heart-piercing pain to give birth, no mother-in-law would not love her child at all.

And premature birth means that most of the children may die early.Such a result is unbearable for any biological mother.

"She is also a little pitiful."

Fourth master showed a clear expression, the reason why he didn't say anything was because he knew Xiaoyi was kind.But now Niu Gulu's affairs are not only his own affairs, the crown prince and all the brothers are all concerned about this child.Hong Xi has been abolished, and the crown prince has no more sons to take.If this baby is Elder Brother, then his confidence can be stronger.

"The reason for the unstable fetal position is that she has been taking Yifei pills for a long time. That thing is harmful to the body, and the toxicity has been transferred to this fetus."

That bit of pity vanished into thin air, it was all done by myself, death of such a person is not a pity.

"and then?"

Fourth Master sat down again and helped her rub her legs: "The first day of next month is an auspicious day, and the sky monitoring shows that there will be a spectacle of three stars around the moon."

Xiaoyi understood: "So, Niu Gulu gave birth on that day?"

"I just want to remind you. As for whether it is true or not, I am not sure yet."

Lie down comfortably, Xiaoyi looked at the fourth master with her eyes, and said with a smile: "Sure, I know Niu Gulu's family better than you. She yearns for prosperity and wealth very much. This son is destined not to be raised by her side. If he comes from a good background, To be sure, she can always keep what she thinks in her heart."

Fourth Master didn't say much, but continued to rub her legs.Thinking about it in her heart, twins are usually born prematurely, Xiaoyi's child must be raised well, and she must be born after Niu Gulu's no matter what.

At that time, even if the twins were really born, they would not be as expensive as the prince's auspicious son.

**
Another month passed in the blink of an eye, and Xiaoyi felt that she had really lived a life like a pig.He ate, slept, and ate every day, and even the only exercise, cycling, was stopped.Touching her swollen belly, she could no longer see her toes when she bent down.

"Why did you get out of bed again?"

"Emiang, I want to go out, look at the peonies, and take two steps. The imperial doctor told me when I checked the pulse that it would be easier to move around during labor. Emiang, you promise my daughter. This is a twin, and you should be alone. Work hard."

Yao'er, who manages the account books, is not surprised by this, and it's not the first time Erniang has acted like a baby to Guo Luomamu.After seeing her a lot, she no longer had the sense of collapse that she had when she first met her.No matter what, she is always the best mother to her, and the elder she respects and should love the most.

"I'm not afraid of children's jokes, Nanny Wu, let's help her out."

Three days ago, the Guarjia family moved in, and she was still worried about her daughter.After the fourth master learned of his mother-in-law's thoughts, he went to the palace to beg the queen mother himself.This made the Crown Princess very reluctant. She gave birth twice, and never received such treatment once.On the contrary, the fourth younger siblings always let their natal family come into the mansion to accompany them for two months.

The peonies were blooming just right, and some pots were sent by Prince Jian Fujin Jinghui.Looking at this beautiful flower, Xiaoyi's mood improved a lot.Strolling to the gazebo, Mammy Wu laid out the mat, and before she picked up the cup, she saw Chun Xing walking over.

"Master, Niu Gulu Gege of Yuqing Palace activated it an hour ago."

As soon as Xiaoyi's eyes lit up, she knew that Niu Gulu couldn't bear it.It's only been less than nine months, and she is not afraid of "seven lives and eight lives".

Guarjia's reaction speed was faster than hers, and she sent Chun Xing down. She looked at her daughter and said, "I'm ready for the three baptisms. Your stomach is only half a month away. If it happens, Yao'er can handle it." Not coming."

This is really a matter, Xiaoyi thought for a while, then waved her hand indifferently: "Emiang, don't worry, Yao'er can't handle it, there is no fourth master."

"You, count on him for everything. Fourth master is so busy, and he still has to take care of you. It's really hard for him."

The fourth master who walked in just heard what his mother-in-law said, and was immediately moved beyond measure.In Xiaoyi's family, only the mother-in-law is a good person.

"Grandfather is here?"

Guarjia turned her head, apologetic all over her face: "Smile made you worry."

"Mother-in-law, don't say that. She is my master's Fujin, and her husband and wife are one. It is my duty to take care of her."

After speaking, he consciously stepped forward, stood in the seat vacated by Madam Wu, and poured her a cup of hot water.Fill up the mother-in-law again, and asked slowly: "How are they today, did they bother you?"

Xiaoyi shook her head, she was a little shy to her mother: "Nothing."

"You don't have to worry too much over there in the palace, Lord Youxin will order Chunxing to inform you."

"Fourth master is busy, business is important."

Sending off fourth master, Xiaoyi looked at Eniang suspiciously, why she has always been so kind to fourth master.

Seemingly understanding what her daughter was thinking, Mrs. Guarjia nodded her head: "You, you have to be gentle with others. You all have white faces, and the red face can only be done by my mother."

It turned out to be the case, Xiao Yi understood.
