Long Live the Empress

Chapter 137 Hanyu from the outer vassal

晚膳

The concubines and young ladies from each courtyard had all arrived and were waiting for the old lady to take a seat before they started eating.

There have been a lot of things going on in the mansion recently. The old lady's hair has turned gray, and her originally strong body has become a little hunched. "Are you all here?"

"Yes! Granddaughter/I'm here!" Everyone sitting at the dining table answered in unison.

The old lady looked around, and only when she saw the second concubine's slightly bulging belly did she smile. "Have you been enjoying your meals recently?"

The second aunt quickly stood up and saluted, "It's okay, I just feel a little nauseous and want to vomit occasionally!"

The old lady nodded, "Then you have to force yourself to eat some!"

"Yes! I saved it!" After the Second Aunt sat down, Yue Yuyan looked at Su Hongfu smugly, her eyes full of provocation!

The old lady looked at the food on the table again, "Bring the red shrimps to the second aunt! And the steamed sea bass,..." Soon, all the delicious dishes were placed in front of the second aunt.

Yue Yuyan was so happy that her teeth were showing. "It turns out that grandma loves aunt the most! Aunt, you must not let grandma down. Eat more! That way, the little brother in your belly can grow fat and white!"

The old lady loved to hear such words the most, "Yes, yes, Yuyan is right, you must eat more, so that my grandson can be white and plump!"

The Second Aunt covered her lips with a silk handkerchief and smiled softly, "Yes!"

The old lady was very happy at this time, "Madam Zhang, go and get the new jade ruyi!"

Nanny Zhang turned around and went to the old lady's bedroom, and soon took out a translucent jade ruyi.

Everyone present was an expert at recognizing value. They could tell at a glance that the jade ruyi was worth a fortune.

The old lady stroked the jade ruyi and said, "This is a new piece of jade from the outer vassal state. I ordered someone to make this jade ruyi and will give it to you to help you stay pregnant."

Second Aunt was stunned. It was only when Yue Yuyan nudged her with her elbow that she came to her senses. She was about to kneel down to thank the old lady, but she was stopped by the old lady, "You are heavy, so don't bow! Take it quickly!"

"Yes! Thank you, old lady!" The Second Aunt was about to reach out to take it, but she heard Aunt Su say, "Wait a minute!"

Everyone looked at Aunt Su, who bowed to the old lady and said, "Old lady, let's ask a doctor to examine this jade ruyi first! I've read a medical book that says jade from foreign vassal states is cold. It's almost the beginning of winter, and what if my second sister catches a cold..."

When Second Auntie heard that they were going to find a doctor, she subconsciously said, "No!"

Everyone looked at the Second Aunt, who smiled awkwardly, "This is the old lady's jade ruyi, it must not be cold! Let's not call a doctor!"

Yue Yuyan looked at the jade ruyi that was within her reach, her mouth almost watering, "Yes! What grandma gave must be a good thing! If we ask the doctor to come again, the food will get cold! Grandma and Second Aunt will feel uncomfortable if they eat it!"

"Hey! Miss San is a girl from the boudoir, she doesn't understand these things! If it's really as written in the book, it will be too late to regret! Oh... forget it, just think of it as me saying something too much!" Aunt Su asked the servants to serve a bowl of soup and brought it to the second aunt, "Second sister, you drink first, don't wait for the soup to get cold!"

The old lady pondered for a moment and said, "Come, find a doctor!"

The Second Aunt was so frightened that the spoon in her hand dropped to the ground. Yue Yuyan did not notice the Second Aunt's fear and just thought it was an accident, so she took another spoon and put it in the Second Aunt's bowl.

"Madam!" Second Aunt's voice was a little loud, and the old lady was also stunned when she heard it, "What's going on?"

"Then please ask the doctor who took my pulse last time! He has been taking care of my fetus, and I think he is also good at identifying cold jade!" There is no way to stop this matter, so I can only ask the doctor at that time.

The old lady nodded and said, "Do as Second Auntie says!"

The Second Aunt was relieved when she saw the servant take orders and leave.
