Fan Zijin couldn't even face Xiao Xia when he was angry. He could only put on a face that no one would enter. After learning that Mu Yangling and Xiao Xia sent Princess Dali away, he just snorted to show that he knew, and did not come forward in person. .
Qi Haoran was still in the barracks, so officials in Juzhou used Fan Zijin as a benchmark. Seeing that he did not appear, those officials who wanted to appear immediately turned off the fire, and only asked their family members to go to see him off.
The officials did not think that Fan Zijin deliberately neglected Princess Dali, but thought that Fan Zijin was concerned about Duan Yuqing's identity, and it was not good for him to get too close to the concubine of the harem.
The highest local official in Juzhou is the prefect of the fourth rank. Although the officials below have the heart to please Duan Yuqing, the future virtuous concubine, but they do not dare to be too obvious. After all, Mu Yangling and Xiao Xia are still standing there.
Especially Mu Yangling, I heard that she has a very good relationship with the Empress, but everyone dared not to please Concubine Xian, but offended the Empress.
So this time, the farewell was very low-key, and a group of women sent Princess Dali's guards out of the city.
But it was also very solemn. Because it was only a female family, the carriage took up the entire pipeline. The Shili Long Pavilion was directly filled with people. When Mu Yangling sent Princess Dali away and looked back, he was shocked. , even more grand than the state leaders' trip.
Mu Yangling twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "We have so many officials in Juzhou?"
Lichun smiled and said, "My lady does not know, all the officials and family members of the prefectures and counties under Juzhou have come to join in the fun. Although they can't come, they will be satisfied just by taking a look at them outside."
"Ulala is full of human heads, what can you see?" Mu Yangling turned to look for the little Xia Shi, held her hand and said, "Come with me in a carriage."
Xiao Xia was a little tired after standing all morning, and she didn't bother to walk over, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
Mu Yangling helped her to get on the carriage. Seeing that her hands were trembling slightly and her forehead was covered in sweat, she frowned. After getting in the carriage, she wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and asked, "The medicinal meal prescribed by Imperial Physician Wang is still there. Are you eating?"
Xiao Xia nodded, "I have been eating it all the time. Recently, the child has become a lot more obedient, and it is no longer uncomfortable."
"Then why are you still sweating? I see your hands and feet trembling after standing for more than an hour." How can you give birth to a child like this?
Xiao Xia didn't take it seriously and said, "Isn't this the case with children? Plus my health is not good."
Mu Yangling was silent, and after returning, he asked Imperial Physician Wang to inquire about Xiaoxia's physical condition.
Wang Taiyi thought for a while and said: "Princess, although Madam's body is weak, it is not that weak. The lower official once suggested that Madam should go to the garden more often, but Madam's fetal breath has been unstable, so she is very afraid to When I walk outside, I always lie down and sit down, suddenly I get tired, and it is inevitable that I have some night sweats.”
Mu Yangling nodded slightly, "Thank you, Imperial Physician Wang, and please prescribe more medicated meals suitable for your wife. This time back in Beijing, I will be tiring for you."
After the imperial doctor Wang left, Mu Yangling asked Mammy Xia to come over and asked the little Xia's work and rest in detail. Mammy Xia didn't hide it from Mu Yangling. After some conversation, Mama Xia also knew about Mu Yang. Ling was worried and sighed: "The servant also knows the mother's worry, why isn't the servant worried? But our lady is weak, and the fetus has been unstable. She is worried as soon as she goes outside. She fell down, so I never dared to force her to go out. In the past, when Princess Duan was there, our wife came in a sedan chair. We directly asked someone to carry it to the door, and we could walk a few steps indoors. Now that Princess Duan is gone, our wife I don't even want to move anymore."
There are times when he is afraid of Mu Yang's lingering bear, and he walks very carefully step by step, for fear of disturbing the child in his stomach.
Mu Yangling thought for a while, and said, "Let me think of a way, you go back first, and don't persuade her too hard, lest she'll be annoying and unwilling to move around. It's only more than five months now, and it's still early."
Mamma Xia nodded.
Mu Yangling asked Fan Zijin if the little Xia family had to go to Beijing, "She is not in good health and doesn't get bumpy, but if we stay here and we all go to Beijing, I'm afraid there won't be a host in the house when she gives birth. ."
Fan Zijin said indifferently: "She wants to go to Beijing, I'll make arrangements. When the time comes, you all set off ahead of time, walk slowly on the road, and we'll just follow later."
Mu Yangling knew it in his heart, so he went to the little Xia family the next day and said directly to her, "Cousin, I don't worry about you staying in Juzhou alone, and I will take you with me no matter what, but even though you are still in a stable position. Now, my body is still very bad. I just get tired after standing for more than an hour. How can I hurry? So my cousin asked me to take care of you. Now let me get used to it in advance, and then adjust my body. Slowly on the road Let's go." After speaking, she whispered in her ear: "I see my cousin's distressed appearance. I would rather we go late than tire you."
Xiao Xia's face blushed, and when she heard the words, she pushed her, "You can't talk nonsense, the censor knows that you are going to be impeached."
Mu Yangling smiled and said, "It's just a private conversation between the two of us. How could the Censor know? Could it be that you will tell the Censor to go?"
"Jing nonsense," Xiao Xia glanced at her, thought about it and asked, "Then what should I do?"
"I've arranged everything. Imperial Physician Wang has changed a few medicated meals for you. You can eat according to the recipe first. I'll come and pick you up every morning to take you to the yard for a walk. We'll leave when I've packed up."
Xiao Xia nodded, indicating that everything was subject to Mu Yangling's arrangement.
Early the next morning, Mu Yangling took the bear to look for the little Xia family. After breakfast, the three of them walked in the garden. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Mu Yangling would stop to rest. After two times, the little bear was not happy, and broke away from Mu Yangling's hand, and rushed out like a small cannonball to have fun.
Xiao Xia said enviously: "Xiao Xiong's body is awesome, I don't know what's going on in my stomach."
"If you can toss like this, your body must be much better."
Xiao Xia smiled, pulled Mu Yangling's hand and said, "A Ling, I have something to ask you."
"you say."
"I heard that you want some boys' clothes to be placed under the pillow to give birth to a son. I want to borrow some clothes from Little Bear's childhood." Xiao Xia touched her belly and said sadly, "My belly is pointy. Yes, they all said it was a girl's pregnancy. I asked Mammy Xia, although Mamma Xia said that this child must be the young master, but turned around and persuaded me that it would be better to bloom first and then bear fruit. I like girls. My daughter is my mother's little padded jacket, and it's her own blood. How can it not hurt? But I still want a boy first. For the pressure he carried for me, I should have given birth to a son for him."
Mu Yangling was silent for a while, and asked, "Is there still time for a pillow?"
Xiao Xia smiled slightly and said, "Just for more hope."
"Okay, I'll clean it up for you when I go back."
