Youmei Court
"What is this?"
Mo Shuang glanced at the bowl of white soup on the table, and her stomach suddenly turned.
In fact, even without asking, she would have guessed that the contents of this cup were probably some kind of anti-fetal and tonifying soup.
Still remembering that day, he said that this was his first child and he should cherish it.
How much of this sentence is true and how much of it is false
she does not know.
She only knew that this man's "cherishing" behavior in the past few days really made her a little bit overwhelmed.
"Princess, this soup was specially prepared by the prince for the princess. It's called 'Yam, Poria, Suckling Pigeon Soup'!" Lily couldn't hide the joy on her face.
She saw the relationship between the princess and the prince in her eyes. The prince was different from the princess. However, if they were loved, they would be loved. There would always be a day when love faded away.
But now, the princess has the prince's flesh and blood... She can't help but feel a little proud.
The corners of Mo Shuang's lips twitched slightly.
“Didn’t I just drink half an hour ago
She really couldn't drink any more. For several days in a row, she had either medicinal food or this soup, water, and all kinds of birds and animals.
I'm afraid that in a few days, I might even be able to eat bear paws.
"Princess, the one I drank half an hour ago was called 'Donkey-hide gelatin, red dates and black-bone chicken soup', and this one is 'yam, poria, swine and pigeon soup'. The effects of these two soups are different..."
"Forget it, I've lost my appetite after listening to what you said. Let's put it aside for now and wait until there is a gap in my stomach before drinking. By the way, how are the other two ladies doing?"
In fact, what she wanted to know was what the situation was like there.
That day Leng Qisu said that he had his own opinion on Su Wen's matter.
I don’t know what this idea is
Several days have passed and I haven't heard any movement. I wonder what kind of medicine he is selling in his gourd
"My servant heard that although the treatment given by the two ladies is not as good as that of the princess, they still provide good food and drink."
"Serving you with delicious food?" Mo Shuang frowned slightly, and she couldn't understand the man's thoughts.
It was right for Meng Ruxue to eat and drink well, but there was no reason for him to treat Su Wen like this!
Seeing her grimace, Lily thought she was unhappy and said quickly: "Although the food is delicious and delicious, it is incomparable to the princess. The prince did this because he was afraid that others would say he favored one over the other."
Mo Shuang pursed her lips and smiled, "You can speak for him."
In fact, that wasn't what she cared about. She was thinking about the man's purpose for doing this.
"By the way, does the princess want to go out to buy crabapple cakes today?" Lily looked outside, "It's so hot today, and the princess is still healthy, so just let the slaves buy it. Why does the princess have to go in person? Same thing. In this shop, isn’t the crabapple cake that the slave bought different from the crabapple cake that the princess bought?”
Of course it's different. Although the cake is still the same cake, the meaning and feeling are completely different.
I still remember that man said that she was the second woman in the world to give him crabapple cakes.
Being remembered by him like this, but only needing to walk a little way, how could she lie to others
What's more, a new store selling crabapple cakes had just opened on the street in front of the palace, so she didn't need to walk far.
"I'd better go in person. Anyway, I have nothing to do. Just treat it as exercise."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man stood up and strode out.
Just as she walked to the door, she suddenly stumbled and almost fell forward. She screamed and quickly reached out to hold the door lintel, only to narrowly stabilize her body.
Lily was so frightened that she quickly ran over to hold her up, "Princess, are you okay?"
"Why is this threshold gone?"
She was usually used to stepping out of the door, but today she followed the inertia and stepped out. She felt something was wrong and couldn't take back her stretched out foot, so she almost pounced on him.
"Look at this slave's memory, it almost caused a disaster. The princess was still sleeping soundly this morning. The prince came over and said that the princess would be getting heavier and heavier, and it would be difficult to cross these thresholds, so he ordered people to take these thresholds softly. It’s all my fault that I failed to remind you in time!”
Take the threshold...
How could she not understand.
He was so considerate.

Qing Ya Yuan
Su Wen sat motionless at the desk, looking at the various soup dishes on the table, his face was pale and his eyes were misty.
What does Leng Qisu mean
You know clearly that the child is not yours, but you still treat her like this
He was provided with delicious food and drink, and a few more maids were assigned to serve him day and night.
From the outside, it may seem that, except for the one in Youmei Garden, no one in the mansion can match her honor.
However, only she knew what it felt like.
That man treated her like this, which tortured her even more than killing her. Her heart was wandering all day long, and she had no idea what he wanted or what would happen next.
The feeling of panic was driving her crazy.
Suddenly, she stood up and walked out.
Several maids made fun of each other and quickly followed, "Where are you going, Mrs. Su?"
"Take a walk!" she replied angrily and continued walking out.
How could she not know that these maids were called to serve, but they were actually to monitor her.
**********
Mo Shuang walked to the front yard and saw from a distance a thin and delicate figure standing under the rockery in the yard, looking at the small fish pond under the rockery, motionless, not knowing what he was thinking.
The four maids stood behind her with their eyes and noses and their minds attentive.
Su Wen!
Why is she here
Mo Shuang narrowed her eyes and walked over, "Su Wen"
The woman turned around and saw that it was her, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but then it dimmed again.
"Are you okay?" Mo Shuang pursed her lips and asked tentatively.
Su Wen looked back at the maid behind him, his eyes twinkling, "It's good, how about you?"
"Yeah, I'm pretty good too."
Su Wen curled his lips and looked at the goldfish swimming happily in the fish pond. After a while, he quietly said, "Do you think these fish are happy being trapped in this small pond all day?"
Mo Shuang was startled, not expecting that she would ask this question.
Could it be that she discovered the secret of goldfish
Although she was doubtful, she remained calm on her face, lowered her eyes and smiled, "How can I know the joy of fish if I'm not a fish?"
"No, I know. They are unhappy," Su Wen shook his head and smiled sadly, "Because I am the fish in the pond."
After saying that, without waiting for her to react, she turned around and walked back to her Qingya Garden, feeling lonely and desolate.
Mo Shuang stood there in a daze, looking at her shaky back, and suddenly felt a little sad.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with Su Wen. Just like her, after all, she was just a pawn being used by men.
"Fourth sister-in-law!" came a soft call from behind.
She gathered her thoughts and turned around, it turned out to be eleven.
The "Eleventh Brother" saw that the direction he was coming was Ziyunxuan, and he immediately understood that he was coming from Meng Ruxue, so he couldn't help but purse his lips and look at him with a smile.
Ever since Leng Qisu told their story last time, they no longer shy away from her, but seemed to truly treat her as one of their own.
"Fourth sister-in-law." Leng Qixi blushed, pursed her lips, and hesitated to speak.
"Huh?" Mo Shuang looked at him carefully and saw that his expression was indeed different today. Although she tried her best to hide it, she still couldn't hide the sadness in the corners of her eyes and brows, "What's wrong?"
"Under what circumstances would the fourth sister-in-law not want the fourth brother's child?" Leng Qixi raised his head and looked at her.
Mo Shuang was startled and didn't understand why he suddenly asked this. She didn't know what to say.
"She doesn't want this child." Eleven sighed, with a hint of bitterness in his eyes.
"Why?" Mo Shuang naturally knew who he was talking about and was a little shocked.
"I don't know either. She didn't tell me when I asked her. She just said she didn't want it. Fourth sister-in-law, what do you think I should do?"
He grabbed her arm with some eagerness, his helpless and frightened look was something she had never seen before from Leng Qixi.
She thought for a moment and patted his hand, "Eleventh Brother, don't be too anxious. Let Fourth Sister-in-law go and see her before we talk."
