After Ruan Xi became pregnant, Mother Yang began to show her talents and took care of everything properly, especially in terms of meals, she put a lot of thought into it, which made Ruan Xi feel comfortable raising the baby.
Ruan Xi now walks around Yonghe Juli every morning or evening and pays more attention to diet and daily life, but her life is no different from before.
A month passed in a blink of an eye.
Ruan Xi's complexion is very good, she has not experienced morning sickness in early pregnancy, and her appetite is good.
Compared to Liu Wanwan who became a demon after pregnancy, Ruan Xi was much more low-key and quiet.
It's just that Ruan Xi's abnormal behavior of not going to the main courtyard to serve her mother-in-law in the past month has fallen into the eyes of everyone in the backyard.
Aunt Zhao couldn't help stabbing a few words when she greeted her yesterday, and was beaten severely by Mrs. Wen, so everyone knew that Mrs. Wen spared her daughter-in-law to serve her.
Rumors of Ruan Xi falling out of favor faintly flowed from the mansion.
Liu Wanwan has been suffering from severe morning sickness recently, her appetite is not good, and her mood is easily agitated. After hearing about this, she smiled happily. An infertile daughter-in-law dangles in front of her all day. Anyone who sees her will feel upset, especially if she is pregnant. When comparing the pregnant bastard and daughter-in-law.
"Sister-in-law's current situation is a bit embarrassing. When do you think Madam will let eldest brother take a concubine?" Liu Wanwan asked the two maids next to her softly.
How can a barren eldest daughter-in-law dominate the stunningly talented Wen Tingzhou as the sole favor, but Wen Tingyi has several beautiful aunts in his backyard.
"The servant does not know."
"Probably not, the young master has a deep affection for the young lady."
Liu Wanwan lowered her eyes, a pair of white and delicate jade hands stroked her abdomen, and sneered in a low voice: "Is it affectionate?"
After a few years, there are still no heirs around, and it is difficult to even protect the position of the main wife.
And she, Liu Wanwan, was the first of the five daughters-in-laws who married into the Wen family to become pregnant, and she would give birth to Wen Shangshu's eldest grandson. Her status would rise, and she might even overwhelm Ruan Xi. Thinking about it, she was very happy.
The bead curtain rang, and a mother came in with a bowl of bird's nest.
Liu Wanwan frowned the first time she saw the bird's nest, and said displeasedly: "Why is it not a blood bird's nest? Didn't my husband say that I can drink blood bird's nest today?"
"Second Young Madam, the blood bird's nest is very precious, and only Madam has it. Except for Eldest Young Madam, no one else is entitled to drink it." The mother explained.
Liu Wanwan pursed her lips, and her pretty face sank: "Sister-in-law, even an infertile woman, can drink blood bird's nest, but I am pregnant with the eldest grandson of Shang Shufu, so I can't even drink a bowl of blood bird's nest?"
"Besides, I have a bad appetite recently, and I vomit whatever I eat, so I want to drink blood bird's nest."
"But the blood bird's nest that the young lady drank was given by the old lady." A servant girl's eyes flickered and she whispered.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Wanwan became even angrier. After the news of her pregnancy came out, the old lady didn't give her any rewards, and the lady only rewarded her with some medicinal materials, and her status was raised.
"It's too deceitful, I must drink blood bird's nest."
Half a month ago, because she was pregnant, Liu Wanwan wanted to eat the stewed duck which was praised by the emperor, but Ruan Xi refused because she was pregnant and not suitable for eating braised duck.
A doctor testified that her condition is really not suitable for eating stewed duck, Liu Wanwan was angry and helpless.
Bird's nest is different now, it is a nourishing tonic, most suitable for pregnant women to eat.
Why can an infertile woman eat it, but a precious pregnant woman like her can't eat it
The more Liu Wanwan thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help retching, and then her fetus moved, which frightened the maids and mothers who were serving her.
The news quickly reached Mrs. Wen's ears. After learning the reason for Liu Wanwan's fetal gas, Mrs. Wen laughed angrily.
This Liu family is just a concubine's daughter-in-law, relying on her own pregnancy, she has nothing to worry about, she has often acted like a monster for more than a month, do you really think everyone will let her go
"Mother Zhao, go tell Liu Shi, let her remember her identity, and don't think about things that don't belong to her."
"By the way, I have to tell Aunt Zhao to discipline Liu Shi well."
Mother Zhao led the order to Liu Wanwan's yard.
Ruan Xi didn't know that Liu Wanwan's fetus was angry because she couldn't eat the blood bird's nest, she was reading in the room for entertainment.
"Young Madam, the stewed blood bird's nest is ready." Mama Yang came in with a bowl of blood bird's nest.
Ruan Xi now drinks a bowl of blood bird's nest every day. Since Mrs. Wen found out that she was pregnant, she has sent a lot of precious top-grade blood bird's nest.
Mother Yang lamented Ruan Xi's favor several times.
"Young Madam, this servant has just heard the news that the Second Young Madam wanted to eat blood bird's nest and was so angry that she was so angry."
Suyu talked about it as soon as she came in.
"The Madam sent Zhao's mother to beat the Second Young Madam to remind her to remember her identity, and now the Second Young Madam has lost face." Suyu couldn't help but gloated and laughed at the end.
Ruan Xi put down the empty bowl and raised her eyebrows: "Why does she suddenly want to eat blood bird's nest?"
Suyu replied: "It's not because I heard that you have blood bird's nest to drink, and I want it, and I don't think about my identity."
The corner of Ruan Xi's mouth twitched.
Before, they were clamoring to eat stewed duck, but now it has become a blood bird's nest, and the child has not yet been born. There are so many moths about Liu Wanwan, but they are still only targeting her.
Now it's all right, my mother-in-law is here.
It is estimated that Liu Wanwan will settle down for a while.
At this time, Wen Tingzhou came back, and he would return home early when he was in Yamen recently.
The maid mothers in the room retreated tactfully when they saw that the master had returned.
Wen Tingzhou sat beside Ruan Xi, stroked Ruan Xi's lower abdomen gently with his big hands, and asked in a gentle tone.
"Ruan Ruan, how are you doing today?"
In fact, someone told him about the Yongheju, but Wen Tingzhou was used to asking about it last time.
"Eat well, sleep soundly, how about you?" Ruan Xi replied with a smile.
Wen Tingzhou showed a reassuring smile, and gently held her in his arms: "That's good, I heard from the doctor that women will have morning sickness symptoms in the first three months of pregnancy, and you are still fine for two months now. A filial one."
Ruan Xi was amused.
The child in her womb should be a small bean sprout now, how can she show filial piety
"Ruan Ruan, don't believe me, just look at Liu's pregnancy, and she will be tossed on her back."
Wen Tingzhou said happily.
As the saying goes, if there is no comparison, there will be no gap. Looking at Ruan Ruan's situation, he is full of expectations for the unborn child.
This is a filial child who will love his mother.
Ruan Xi: "..."
"Maybe I'm pregnant with a girl, so be quiet and not make a fuss."
The corners of Wen Tingzhou's lips curled up, he lowered his head and kissed her hair, and smiled lightly: "The girl is not bad, she'd better be as beautiful, cute and smart as you."
Ruan Xi blushed, but thinking that aristocratic families pay great attention to the concubine, especially the eldest son and grandson, Wen Tingzhou may not care, but Wen Shangshu and Mrs. Wen should care.
They should not be happy to see the eldest grandson born from the belly of the concubine's daughter-in-law.
"But my father-in-law and mother-in-law are expecting me to have a son."
"Ruan Ruan, don't put pressure on yourself. As long as it is our child, no matter the girl or the son, I like it. You don't have to worry about the parents, everything is up to me."
Wen Tingzhou quickly comforted him.
Hearing what Wen Tingzhou said, Ruan Xi was filled with great anticipation.
Wen Tingzhou also talked about how Ruan Sanniang recently opened a store to sell ice cubes to earn money.
Ruan Xi thought of making ice with saltpeter.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Sanniang made such a fuss.
Ruan Sanniang sells ice cubes at high prices to earn money but fails to send a piece of ice to Chengyibo's mansion, which attracts criticism from many people and the impeachment of Yu Shi.
Ruan Xi didn't know what she was thinking, was she planning to draw a line with the Chengyi House
"What's the emperor's reaction?" Ruan Xi asked curiously.
Wen Tingzhou raised the corners of his lips: "Your third sister dedicated the method of making ice to the emperor."
Ruan Xi: "..."
She knew it would be like this, and the good things in Ruan Sanniang's hands would eventually fall into the hands of the emperor.
I just don't know when the cement glass will appear.
She really wanted to replace the glass windows in the house.
"However, her wanton sale of ice cubes has attracted the attention of many people. Some people guessed that she has a way to make ice, but because of the emperor's love for her, she didn't make a move."
"Besides this matter, she recently confronted Concubine Mu, and suffered a lot."
A smile flashed across Wen Tingzhou's eyes.
Ruan Xi: "..."
She admired Ruan Sanniang so much in her heart that she dared to confront Concubine Mu.
Now Ruan Sanniang should not have time to think of her.
that's the truth.
Ruan Sanniang fought fiercely with Concubine Mu in the palace, and she had already forgotten about Ruan Xi.
Fast forward to August, and the news of Ruan Xi's pregnancy was finally announced to the public.
