Because the fetal condition has been stable recently, Duan Changchuan's medication has been changed from twice a day to once a day.
But he always felt that something was wrong.
For example, Mr. Huang clearly said that his fetal condition was very stable, but his appetite suddenly became worse in recent days, and his mood also inexplicably became not very good. However, every time he took medicine in the evening, his appetite would be much better, and his mood would also be much better.
The next day the cycle repeated itself.
On this day off, Duan Changchuan touched his stomach and sighed, "Really don't need to take more medicine? I feel very uncomfortable during the day... I only feel better after taking medicine at night."
Even at this moment, he felt uncomfortable.
I didn't even know where the pain was, it just felt uncomfortable from top to bottom.
"I've already told you that your pregnancy is very stable. It's normal for pregnant women to vomit or feel uncomfortable. Why don't you believe it?"
Senior Huang was sitting nearby, his brows furrowed with anger.
The young man pouted in grievance: "But I can get better after taking the medicine, and I get worse without the medicine. Isn't it because there is something wrong with my body..."
Doctor Huang: …
Is that the effect of the medicine? It was Bai Su's blood. Blood is so precious. Bai Su took three bowls and lost half his life. The two of them thought that if they drank it in the morning and evening, the amount would be too little. It would be better to drink it once a day and drink enough at a time. This is how the current situation came about.
But these cannot be said!
The old man, who was almost on his back because of the secrets he was told by this group of people, was so angry that he glared: "You'll piss me off to death! When your baby is born, I'll go traveling around. Don't even think about seeing me for ten or eight years! It's annoying!"
Duan Changchuan: …
Forced to bow his head: "Don't be angry, I won't say it again..."
Yun Xie, who was standing by, quickly pulled him aside and said, "Hey, today is the wedding of the eldest son of the Regent, Duan Xuyuan, and Bai Jinzhi. Why don't we go over and join in the fun? Now the whole capital knows that the Duan family can no longer be established. There will definitely be something fun to watch."
The young man had no interest at all. "What good drama can there be? It's just an arranged marriage. Prime Minister Bai and the daughter of the Bai family both knew Duan Xuyuan's character, but they still got married. Doesn't this explain the nature of this marriage? There won't be any good drama."
"Even if there's nothing good to watch, we can go out for a walk. Look at you now, you're afraid of your belly showing, so you can only stay in this small courtyard every day. How suffocating it is. Not to mention that you're pregnant, I can't stand it either. Besides, when you show your pregnancy in a while, you won't be able to go out anymore."
Seeing that he didn't move, she simply came over to pull him and said, "Let's go, let's follow the people in the palace and go out in a carriage. It will definitely not tire you out."
The young man then reluctantly followed him: "Let's go... I'll go with you to see the excitement."
"What do you mean by accompany me? I want to take you out to relax! Do you want to eat some candied haws?"
"Can."
The little one, who had never had to worry about anything on his own because Bai Su took care of everything, completely forgot that he was now averse to eating hawthorn.
Doctor Huang's beard was about to puff up: "Why are you eating candied haws? Can you eat hawthorn? My apprentices and grandchildren each wrote you a list of things to pay attention to, but you didn't even read it!"
I wanted to pull his ears and teach him a lesson: "Look at you, you make the girl from the Bai family worry about this and that every day. Isn't the baby in her belly yours? Can't you take care of yourself? What else can you do without the girl from the Bai family?"
Duan Changchuan: …
Guilty and whispered back: "On weekdays, the imperial kitchen arranges meals... Changle also knows what to avoid eating, so I don't pay much attention to it..."
Doctor Huang: "Is it only the diet that needs attention? What is the best sleeping posture on weekdays? Which exercises can be done and which exercises cannot be done? Have you memorized it?"
Duan Changchuan: "... I'll take a look these few days..."
"Read it tonight. Read it carefully. I'll test you tomorrow and save you from having random thoughts every day."
Duan Changchuan: “…”
-
In the end, Yun Xie, Duan Changchuan and Doctor Huang went out together.
Yun Xie and his companions disguised themselves as ordinary people, found a restaurant across the street, and went up to the third floor, where they could just see the Regent's Palace.
"How is it? I asked someone to reserve this location early in the morning. This is the only room in the entire restaurant where you can see the view clearly."
The young man crossed his legs, fanned himself and looked down.
Duan Changchuan also sat down by the window, opened the gap and looked out.
I saw the huge plaque of Prince Cheng’s Mansion from a distance, and the crowd of people below, whose colors I could only see…
He turned back expressionlessly.
"You call this seeing clearly."
Doctor Huang also came back after examining the patient: "With my old eyes, I can't even see the three words 'Prince Cheng's Mansion' clearly."
The young man closed his fan with a snap and quickly poured tea for the two men: "We can't see the specific person clearly, otherwise anyone who comes in here with an arrow will be able to shoot him through."
Seeing that Duan Changchuan didn't say anything, she leaned over to his side and coaxed him, "You can't see the person clearly, but you can see the excitement. I heard that Duan Xuyuan was hanging out outside two years ago and had a son. He hasn't been in good health in the past two years. Old Sun has been treating him for a year and a half, but there is no improvement. In the past, they were concerned that the son came from a brothel, so they didn't bring him back openly and kept him secretly outside. Now they want to use the marriage with Bai Jinzhi to recognize the son directly, and after a few years, they will say that he was born by Bai Jinzhi. Do you think the Bai family will recognize him? Oh, yes, and there is! The child's mother is also stubborn. When she heard that her son was going to be taken away, she almost jumped into the lake with the child a few days ago."
After saying that, she raised her eyebrows at him in a pretentious manner: "This is such a commotion. I don't believe they can get married quietly today."
Duan Changchuan glanced at him suspiciously.
And as if to confirm his words, the Regent's Palace, which had been making a lot of noise, suddenly fell silent.
Yun Xie and Duan Changchuan looked at each other and immediately leaned back to the window.
Doctor Huang, who was not stable, ran extremely fast.
Duan Changchuan: …
"The bride's procession hasn't arrived yet, but I don't know why the suona stopped playing first."
"Are you preparing to pick up the bride? That's not right... Don't they always welcome the bride with music and dance all the way and bring her in?"
"Is there someone standing in the middle? Is it the little princess of the Duan family? She is the only female member of the entire Regent's Mansion who dares to show up in public like this."
"I can't see clearly..."
"The bride-picking team is here! Why are there two teams, one on each side? As expected of a marriage between Prime Minister Bai and the Regent's family, it's so grand."
"Am I old and my eyes are blurry? Why do I see two brides?"
Duan Changchuan listened to the two people talking and became more and more curious. He couldn't help but lean over and follow them.
Yun Xie simply opened all the windows: "Two brides really came. The one coming from the east is from the Prime Minister's residence, right? The Prime Minister's residence is on the east side, and the groom is also on this side. This team is also very impressive. The one on the other side is holding a child in her arms. She should be the girl from the brothel. Do you want to marry both of them? Will Prime Minister Bai agree?"
Duan Changchuan looked out the window and saw two wedding processions outside, one long and one short.
Now, both brides came down from the bridal chamber. One of them was still wearing a red veil and was supported by a maid. She must be Bai Jinzhi.
On the other side, there was also a girl in red, holding a child in her arms.
The Regent and his wife hurried out of the palace, looking very angry.
The scene was chaotic for a while.
Duan Changchuan directly called the secret guard in and asked, "What's going on in the Regent's Palace?"
"Reporting to His Majesty, the princess suddenly rushed out just now and tried to stop the wedding. Later, the two wedding processions came over, and the Prince Regent's Palace didn't know there were two groups of brides. Now the Prince Regent and Duan Xuyuan are handling this matter."
Before Duan Changchuan could say anything, Yun Xie beside him couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Doesn't the Prince Regent's Mansion have two brides? I said, the one he's marrying today is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how could the Prince Regent be so ungrateful that he brought in a concubine from a brothel as well. I thought that the old fox Bai had done something to let him down, haha."
"Reporting to Lord Yun, some of my subordinates have found out that the Prime Minister's residence is also very angry about this. The Prime Minister and his wife are already on their way."
Who could have thought that such a grand marriage would turn into such a farce.
Duan Changchuan and Bai Su were also in a business marriage. He imagined...
What if I became the abandoned child of my mother and father, and was forced to marry into the Bai family? Before I even entered the house, I learned from everyone that Bai Su was an Alpha who had been flirting with men since she was a child and couldn't get her lower body to work. On the wedding day, an Omega came to marry her together...
The fist hardened.
What a piece of shit.
None of the Regent, Duan Xuyuan, and Prime Minister Bai and his wife who pushed for this marriage are good people.
Although he knew early on that girls had no status at all in ancient times, Duan Changchuan still felt sympathetic.
No wonder the girl before Bai Su traveled through time chose to commit suicide by cutting her wrists...
Bai Jinzhi, the legitimate daughter of the prime minister, had fallen into such a state, not to mention Bai Su, a powerless illegitimate daughter. The girl named Bai Su probably grew up in such an environment, was accustomed to such things, and could not see the future, so she finally chose to die.
Duan Changchuan thought silently in his heart...
Suddenly I heard a loud noise outside.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
He asked subconsciously.
I glanced out the window inadvertently and found that the entire entrance of the Regent's Palace was in chaos.
The one who caused the chaos was a girl in a goose yellow dress who was surrounded by the crowd in the center.
The girl was holding a sword in her hand and chasing the groom who was a head taller than her.
There was a large circle of guards surrounding the place, but they could only surround the person, and no one dared to step forward.
The girl's voice was not loud and could not be heard clearly, but Duan Xuyuan was quite strong and kept shouting: "Wait a minute! Little sister, wait a minute!"
The sound came from far away, and everyone in the area knew it.
Huang, the old doctor, came back through the window and said, "I haven't been back to Shengjing for a few years. Have the princes and nobles become like this now? But, is this little girl called Duan Qinxue? I remember that she was interesting since she was little. I teased her several times when she was little. Every time, she would say that I was disrespectful to the elderly, cry and go home, and come to play with me the next day. Didn't she go to Xiguan later? She said that she had played all the games in Shengjing and it was boring. She liked riding and shooting since she was little, but the boys in Shengjing didn't play with her girls, and the girls couldn't play the games she liked. I gave her some advice, saying that the customs in Xiguan were open and many girls also liked riding and shooting, so she went there."
Duan Changchuan didn't expect that Duan Qinxue went to Xiguan at the beginning with the instigation of Mr. Huang.
Yun Xie: "How old was Duan Qinxue at that time? You urged a girl to go to Xiguan..."
The old man chuckled and scratched his head: "Duan Jing'an's family are not good people. Duan Xuyuan has been a crooked person since he was a child. Only this little girl is not bad. Wouldn't it be good to let her go to Xiguan and stay away from this group of bad people?"
After saying that, he turned back to admire the little girl's heroic posture of beating people: "Look, isn't it pretty good?"
Duan Changchuan: …
-
The farce in the Regent's Palace did not end until Bai Yanyuan and the Prime Minister's wife came over and argued for a long time at the door, and it was not until noon that they finally reached an agreement.
The team on the other side entered through the side door, and everyone acted as if nothing had happened, and welcomed Bai Jinzhi, the legal wife, into the gate with great fanfare.
The farce ended here.
Seeing that the Regent's Palace had regained its former majesty and solemnity, Yun Xie fanned himself and clicked his tongue several times.
"There are only two girls in this prime minister's mansion, and they all became tools for Bai Yanyuan to win power. The regent has only one son, and he is such a scumbag. I don't know why these two are fighting for power. What's the point of fighting for it? There is not even an heir. Bai Yanyuan is the funniest. He is the prime minister now. If he assists you in registering, he will also be the prime minister in the future. If he assists the regent in seizing the imperial power, he will still be the prime minister at best, right? What's more, the previous emperor has arranged a marriage. As long as you successfully register, he will be the prime minister in the future. I really don't know why he is tossing around."
Senior Huang rolled his eyes. "Why else? What good can he get from being the prime minister of the young emperor? Being the prime minister under Duan Jing'an, who knows how many benefits he has been promised in secret. Why can the two collude to get together? It's because they have the same taste. They really don't need anyone to inherit. With the two of them, they can defeat Datong in their lifetime. It depends on what happened in Huainan this time. The plague can be big or small, but the two of them can definitely make it the biggest. By then, a natural disaster or a big epidemic will consume the entire treasury. If the enemy country takes advantage of the situation and invades, how can the treasury get the military pay? They will all die. Tsk tsk tsk tsk."
They chatted and Duan Changchuan listened quietly.
Until there was a knock on the door.
Then a woman in white came in from outside the door.
The window was not closed, and a breeze blew through... a faint floral scent wafted over.
It was Feng Xian who had been busy outside all morning.
When Yun Xie saw someone coming, his eyes were brighter than before. He smiled and patted the seat next to him: "Aunt, why are you here? There is a big farce in the Regent Palace today. I was just thinking of discussing it with you. Let's find the person who wrote the storybook before and write a paragraph for him to spread everywhere."
Feng Xian then put on his robe and walked over, naturally sitting next to the young man.
He first felt the temperature of the water in Yun Xie's teacup, then changed the cup, poured him a hot cup and pushed it over. He said, "I heard from my disciples that you were watching the fun here, so I came to see if you need any help, and have a meal with you."
Yun Xie took the teacup and drank a sip, then said to her, "Nothing I can help you with, but are you busy over there? Do you want us to go over and take a look this afternoon?"
Feng Yan smiled and curled the corners of his lips: "No, everything is almost ready. The restaurant will be open in a few days. I will take you there to play then. The privacy of the restaurant is also very good. Everyone can wear a mask and you don't have to disguise yourself."
"Sure, sure! I'll wait for my aunt to help us make money in the future."
"And then I ask you to go to the restaurant and order a girl to listen to music?"
"Well... that was a long time ago. I changed my habits a long time ago. Besides, I really listen to music for the sake of listening to music. I am a playboy in Shengjing, so I must have a few bad habits. Otherwise, how can I be a playboy?"
"Yes, you've worked hard."
The two of them were talking very intimately, and Duan Changchuan was watching quietly from the opposite side.
Suddenly my eyes felt a little sore.
Normally, Yun Xie was the one who disliked him and Bai Su for being so close. Now that Bai Su was gone, the roles were reversed and he became the one being abused.
The young man lowered his eyes and drank the tea in the cup quietly.
Halfway through drinking, my wrist was suddenly grabbed.
His hand shook reflexively... and he almost spilled the tea.
Just about to explode: "What are you doing all of a sudden?"
Seeing the young man raised an eyebrow at him, he clicked his tongue and said, "There's something I forgot to tell you. This restaurant was the idea of the Empress. Not only that, there are a lot of other business ideas. The Empress invested almost all of her dowry money in it, saying that she wanted to buy shares. Well, anyway, she invested money in it, and when it makes a profit, she will share the money with Baimu Palace. My aunt and I thought she wanted to raise her own treasury and build her own power in the future, but guess what she said?"
Duan Changchuan's heart skipped a beat subconsciously.
Bai Su said that all the money she earned in the future would be given to him... He knew.
But he still pretended to know nothing and asked softly: "How do you say...?"
"Ahem... She said: This is the money that Your Majesty and I invested in the business. When there is a profit in the future, we will be included in the same account. Then make three copies of the account book. You and Miss Feng Xian will keep one copy, and I will analyze one copy and present the other copy to Your Majesty."
"I was joking with her about you. I said, Your Majesty, he can only understand the final harvest at most. Your Queen gave me a blank look and said, "The purpose of presenting him with the account book is to let him see the harvest."
The young man was narrating while waving a fan, but his voice and movements were not similar to the real person.
But Duan Changchuan seemed to have seen it with his own eyes.
Alpha has received elite education in the business world since childhood. When it comes to business, he can speak eloquently and every sentence he says can cause the other party to be amazed.
But she is also extremely reserved, neither arrogant nor proud.
Dazzling beauty.
If she sat next to him, she would always take care of him and look at him with concern from time to time, as if she was afraid that he would run away on his own.
When I mention him, I would smile and touch his hair.
"Well... she and I are husband and wife, so of course the money she earns... is also mine."
The young man took a sip of the teacup.
The corners of his lips touched the wall of the cup and curved slightly.
[She is mine, too.]
