Chapter 336: Soon to Be Born

"Mother, the third sister is my sister. You adopted her as your adopted daughter. Should I call her the third sister or the adopted sister?" Jingyun's eyebrows were twisted into knots, and he waved his hands: "No, no, the adopted sister is not as close as the third sister."

The Queen Mother was surprised.

Jingyun was determined: "Everyone knows that I was raised by my mother. No one would think it's against the rules for the third sister to stay with us. Even if it's against the rules, I have the final say in the Great Zhou. If I say it's against the rules, it's against the rules!"

If he can't make the decision on such a small matter, what's the point of being the emperor?

The Queen Mother smiled: "Okay, she's your sister."

She knew Tingyuan's true identity. With Jingyun and Tingyuan escorting her, naturally no one dared to criticize Gu Baozhu.

"Mother, I don't have much time. I want the third sister to live in my side hall. The two can review and study together. When I have to attend the morning court and handle official business, she can come to you to learn needlework, okay?" Jingyun blinked, wanting to take her back.

This is unreasonable. Under normal circumstances, the Queen Mother would refuse and there would be no room for negotiation.

But Jingyun is different. He did not grow up in the palace. He is afraid and lonely when he comes to a strange environment. Can a familiar person accompany him to bring him some comfort?

"Okay. Mother knows that you know your limits." The Queen Mother gave her trust.

Jingyun was so happy that he was going crazy. He just wanted to run around the palace three times like a wild horse.

"Thank you, mother!"

Jingyun bowed and saluted in a proper manner.

The Queen Mother had no choice but to say to Gu's mother: "Jingyun changed his name. The name recorded in the royal jade book is Ji Shuo, and the nickname is Jingyun."

Gu's mother smiled and said: "It's a good name."

She looked at Jingyun, who was wearing a dragon robe, a golden winged hat, and a stern face. She felt soft and cute for some reason. Her heart was warmed and she wanted to hug the child, but she knew that her status was different, so she restrained herself.

Gu's mother asked: "Have you just come back from the morning court?"

Jingyun took the initiative to hug Gu's mother, his clear eyes revealing admiration: "Mom, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much."

Gu's mother's eyes were filled with tears: "Mom misses you too."

"Mom, can you come to the palace to see me and my third sister every month?"

"Okay, Mom will come to see you when she is free."

Jingyun was so happy that he wanted to take Gu's mother to see everything he saw in the palace. He held back and only pulled Gu's mother and Su Wan to talk about his experiences.

"Sister-in-law, there is a court official who opposes the construction of Baishan Hall and does not allow you to monopolize the supply of medicinal materials to the palace and military camps. He thinks I am stupid and doesn't know that the supplier of medicinal materials is his relative!" Jingyun snorted: "I will give an order and let him personally supervise the construction of Baishan Hall."

He was so angry!

Su Wan thought he was so cute that she couldn't help pinching his little face: "Okay, it just so happens that I can't supervise the construction, so let him go. If you catch his little braid, remove his position."

Jingyun happily agreed.

Gu Baozhu stood beside the Queen Mother. Seeing her second brother's white and tender face always smiling, she glanced at the Queen Mother cautiously. Seeing the warm light in her eyes, Gu Baozhu breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and her uneasiness in her heart settled down a little.

"Third sister, don't be afraid. We will live together in the future, just like before. If there is anything, I will take care of it for you." Jingyun touched Gu Baozhu's head.

Gu Baozhu's eyes smiled into a crescent moon, and a spirit of charm overflowed: "You can't bully me."

"I'm an adult now, so I won't bully you childishly." Jingyun stretched out his hand: "You can bully me."

Gu Baozhu glared at him and slapped his hand.

Jingyun quickly dodged and stretched out his hand to pull her braid.

"Gu Jingyun!" Gu Baozhu was angry and ran after him.

Jingyun laughed and ran away.

The Queen Mother, Gu's mother, and Su Wan couldn't help laughing as they watched the two people laugh and make a fuss.

Queen Mother: "I have never seen Jingyun so happy."

Gu Baozhu's entry into the palace may be a good decision.

——

Su Wan and Gu's mother had lunch together in the palace and returned home in the afternoon.

Mo Yuan reported: "Madam, six people were sent to Miss Cao, and they have left Beijing."

"Okay, you will contact them about the property purchase in various places in the future." Su Wan led Mo Yuan back to the study and explained: "I will draft a document for you, which contains various precautions. There are also geology and climate in various places, and what kind of medicinal herbs are suitable for planting. You ask them to give feedback so that I can make a plan. You will have to work hard in the first three months. After that, I will go to the site for a survey in person."

"Madam, your body..."

"It doesn't matter, I will pay more attention to it myself. If you feel uncomfortable, you have to go, I can only teach you how to identify. Or pay a little more money to hire someone who can plant medicinal herbs." Su Wan's career has a plan and has been put on the agenda, so it can't be stranded because of pregnancy.

Mo Yuan was silent and told Gu Huaizhi about Su Wan's plan.

Gu Huaizhi had no objection. During the first three months of Su Wan's pregnancy, he was very busy and had little time to take care of Su Wan in the mansion. Fortunately, the child was very well behaved and did not make much noise. Su Wan not only had no pregnancy reaction, but on the contrary, her appetite was very good, she gained some weight, and her complexion improved visibly.

When Su Wan was going out of Beijing for an inspection, Gu Huaizhi tried his best to squeeze out time to accompany her.

Because of her health concerns, Su Wan spent nearly a year to arrange the six places where Cao Wanqing bought property, and planted medicinal herbs in all of them, which grew very well.

Two pilot Baishan halls were also built. A group of imperial doctors such as Su Wan and Liu Yuanshi selected medical envoys. There were four medical envoys in each Baishan hall. The medicinal materials were supplied for one month according to the medicine list provided by the medical envoys. batch.

Su Wan leaned on the soft couch with her round belly, a big pillow stuffed behind her waist, and in her hand she held the bill submitted by Baishan Hall and the simple report she made.

Qi Min put the pineapple cut into pieces on the small table, poured honey on it, and fed a piece to Su Wan's mouth with a bamboo skewer: "This is sent by someone from Jingyun. There are not many in total, half of it." All given to you."

Su Wan took a bite, and the juice flowed out, sour and sweet. She liked eating it very much: "You just can't eat too much, it's easy to get angry. I'll just give it a try, and you can share the rest."

"Your father and mother-in-law and I ate it, and our teeth were sore." Qi Min was quite disgusted.

"I think it's delicious." Su Wan forked a piece and stuffed it into her mouth. She was wearing a thin spring shirt and her stomach was kicked around by something. She touched her belly and said, "Don't be naughty, I'll hurt your mother."

Qi Min saw a small bump bulging in her belly, as if she had been stabbed by a fist. There was a smile in her eyes: "You are about to give birth. Don't worry about Baishantang's affairs for now. Leave it to the people below, or give it to Huai Zhi.”
