Nian Shilan suppressed the doubts and shock in her heart and looked at Wen Xianqing.
"Mr. Wen only said how to take care of my body now. I must drink this Bizi Decoction. To be honest, the legitimate son in the palace has not yet been born, so I can't get pregnant before Fujin."
She would not let Wen Xianqing get involved in too many things until she was not sure that Wen Xianqing was completely useful to her, so she only said that because there was no legitimate son in the house, she did not want to get pregnant as a concubine.
Wen Xianqing was born in a commoner family, but he could imagine and hear a lot about the methods of these high-end mansions.
He nodded in understanding.
"Don't worry, Xi Fujin. Since Xi Fujin doesn't want to get pregnant for the time being, Wei Chen will make a mild prescription for you. This prescription will not harm your body."
Wen Xianqing hesitated.
"In addition, Wei Chen will also make another prescription and prescribe some warm and tonic medicine. Wei Chen will report to Fu Jin. You were just frightened a few days ago and need to be nursed back to health."
"In this case, there is Dr. Lawen."
Nian Shilan knew that Wen Xianqing, according to the rules, had to go back to report to Uranala after the consultation.
Mrs. Duan was waiting impatiently in the yard. Han Lu came over and said that Dr. Wen had finished the consultation for Xi Fujin and asked Mr. Duan to go in for a consultation.
When Mr. Duan entered the door, he first saluted Nian Shilan, and Wen Xianqing saluted Mr. Duan.
"Wei Chen has seen the girl."
According to the rules, concubines have no status and are called girls in the palace.
If the master is kind, he will allow his concubines to call themselves concubines. If the master refuses, they can only call themselves slaves.
Duan also returned the gift and then sat down.
Wen Xianqing took her pulse while Nian Shilan sat aside with tea.
"The girl said that her monthly letter was delayed, is she not thinking about eating?"
Wen Xianqing checked the pulse on Duan's left hand again.
"The imperial doctor really has a good pulse, but he just doesn't want to eat. It's strange to say that he can't eat in the past few days. I was wondering if it was because of the hot weather. Today I saw the fruits on the grapevine in Xifujin Courtyard, and I was very surprised. I'm very greedy. I'm thinking that after I finish the consultation, I'll boldly ask Xiang Fujin for a few pills."
Duan smiled, she was telling the truth.
Wen Xianqing carefully felt for his pulse for a while and then stood up.
"Wei Chen congratulates the girl. The girl is more than one month pregnant."
Duan stood up suddenly.
"Is what the imperial doctor said true?"
"I don't dare to speak nonsense. It's just that the time is short and my pulse is not very stable, so I should rest more."
Wen Xianqing still cupped his hands and replied to Duan respectfully.
Nian Shilan saw Duan getting up excitedly and said slowly.
"Congratulations to my sister on the pregnancy. Since you are pregnant, you have to be careful about your body. Sit down and talk."
Duan turned around and faced Nian Shilan Fuli.
"I would like to thank you Fu Jin. I never expected that I would become pregnant so soon."
Duan's words were respectful, but her tone could not hide her joy.
Ulanara was relieved when she heard Wen Xianqing say that Fujin was just too frightened, which caused him to feel tired at night and drowsy during the day.
But when she heard that Duan was happy, her hand that was turning the book paused for a moment before she smiled.
"This is a great joy. No heir has been born in the house for many years. The master will be happy to know about it when he comes back."
After Jiang Fuhai sent Wen Xianqing out, Ulanara stopped smiling.
Duan was so lucky that she got pregnant overnight.
When Yinzhen returned home in the evening, Ulanara was already waiting in the front yard.
"I send my regards to my master, may I wish you all the best."
"Get up. Fujin came here so late. Is there something wrong?"
Yinzhen sat down, and the maid served fragrant tea to him and Uranala.
Ulanara felt sad, her husband was always so polite to her.
"I come here to congratulate my master on his great happiness. Mrs. Duan is pregnant."
Yinzhen held the tea cup in his hand and would not put it down.
"I heard from Su Peisheng in the evening that Mrs. Duan is pregnant. Just give her a few people who can help her. In addition, I have told the kitchen that starting from tomorrow, Mrs. Duan's diet should be more refined and don't let the kitchen hold the portions. Speaking of things, Fujin will just make arrangements."
Ulanara did not find any joy on Yinzhen's face, seeing him as usual.
Logically speaking, there has been no pregnant woman in the house for several years, so the master should be happy.
"Yes. I will take care of the arrangements. So...does the master want to see the Duan family tonight?"
"I'm tired today. I'll go back tomorrow."
Yinzhen's expression was indifferent, and when Ulanara saw this, he stopped talking and resigned.
When the news of Duan's pregnancy reached Liufang Pavilion, Shugege looked indifferent. He just lowered his head and fiddled with a bunch of bottles and jars, looking at things like rouge and gouache.
Hu Gege couldn't hide his thoughts, and a look of jealousy appeared on his face.
"Huh, she's so lucky. My master just got lucky once and she's pregnant."
Yucui helped Hu Gege wash up and thought about how to speak.
"Gege, would you like to send a congratulatory gift to Miss Duan? I heard that Master Fujin and Xi Fujin both sent gifts today to congratulate Miss Duan."
"I don't have enough of my own stuff, how can I get the extra to give to her?!"
Seeing that Hu Gege was in a bad mood, Yucui stopped talking.
In Jianjiaxuan, Mrs. Feng closed the door early, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.
Su Peisheng had people tell each courtyard that the master was tired today and rested in the front courtyard. He did not need to sleep with him or go to anyone else's courtyard.
Mrs. Duan took the sweet soup sent from the kitchen and drank it slowly.
"Tell me, I'm pregnant, why doesn't my master come to see me?"
Qiang Wu was standing nearby, not wanting to answer the question.
What should she say as a slave? She said that the master just slept with you for half the night. There is no emotion, so how can she be happy?
But Duan put down the bowl, looked at Qiang Wu, and asked again.
Qiang Wu had no choice but to think about it.
"Don't worry, girl. Didn't Eunuch Su say that my master is tired today and I think he will come to see you tomorrow. You might as well have a rest first."
Duan rolled his eyes at Qiang Wu.
"That's all. It's useless to ask you. You don't understand. Bring some water to wash up. Dr. Wen said that I need to rest more."
Qiang Wu breathed a sigh of relief. If you don't understand, just don't understand. She doesn't want to understand yet.
Qiang Wu just wanted to wait until she was old enough to ask for grace and let her go out of the house and follow the Duan family. She was always frightened.
