Chapter 768 Pregnant

Chapter 768: Pregnant Chapter 768: Pregnant Editor: Atlas Studios “Hahahaha, Ah Ling, look at the letter from the capital.

Zijin helped the national treasury raise 180,000 taels of silver.” Qi Haoran rushed over with the letter in his hand with Little Bear on his neck.

Mu Yangling opened it and raised her eyebrows slightly.

“Your name is on the merit monument.

Zijin was the one who paid on our behalf, right?

I’ll get someone to send him 10,000 taels later.” “No need, no need.” Qi Haoran waved his hand and said, “That silver was meant to be stored in the treasury anyway.

It just went one big round before entering the treasury this time.

If you send him the money, he will have to send it back to us.” Mu Yangling nodded slightly and glanced at the amount at the back of the list.

She was slightly surprised.

The donors were all officials in the Imperial Court.

There were more than 300 people in total, but the amount of donations varied greatly.

The lowest donation was 58 taels of silver from a sixth-grade official in the Imperial Censorate.

However, his name was written at the eighth place in the second row and was ranked very ahead.

Other than Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin, the one who donated the most was the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites, at 9,000 taels of silver.

However, his name was recorded at the back.

His name was listed together with Zhang Cheng and a few other officials who had also donated a lot.

“Why are they at the back even though they donated the most?” Qi Haoran snorted and said, “Let’s not talk about Zhang Cheng.

He’s infamous for being corrupt in the previous dynasty.

The Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites was an official in Jiangnan in the previous dynasty, and he also received a large sum of money in bribes.

It’s naturally not good for us to pursue the matters of the previous dynasty.

However, other than Zhang Cheng, the others have remained a little corrupt for the past two years.

The last time I entered the palace, Big Brother was still frustrated over this.

He said that if they went any further, he would definitely have to dig up old scores.” This was because even if they were corrupt now, there wasn’t much money involved.

If Qi Xiuyuan dealt with it now, the deterrence would not be great.

Instead, it would cause the money in the national treasury to flow away.

However, he could not watch helplessly as those officials embezzled.

It seemed like Qi Xiuyuan was giving them a warning this time.

Otherwise, with their greed, why would they donate so much money?

Qi Haoran stuffed the letter into his arms and said, “Big Brother and the others will take care of the matters in the capital.

Let’s just worry about what to eat tonight.” “Chicken!

Chicken!” Little Bear patted his father’s head with his little hands in an attempt to attract his attention.

Qi Haoran wailed and hurriedly replied, “Good son, so be it.

I’ll go catch a pheasant for you now.

Stop hitting me.

Daddy is in so much pain.” Even if his son controlled his strength, it was still immense.

Little Bear, who was sitting on his neck, was stunned for a moment.

Then, he hurriedly hugged his father’s head and rubbed his forehead with his small hand.

With a hint of nervousness in his eyes, it asked, “Daddy, does it hurt?

Little Bear will blow it for you.” Although Qi Haoran couldn’t see his son’s expression, he could hear the tears in his voice.

He immediately straightened his back and said, “Daddy doesn’t hurt anymore.

Let’s go.

Daddy will bring you hunting, but you can’t hit Daddy’s head in the future.” Little Bear nodded fiercely and promised, “I won’t hit you again.” Qi Haoran carried his son and rushed into the forest.

Mu Yangling only had time to shout, “Put him down.

Don’t drop him!” before he disappeared.

The guards behind him followed with bows and arrows.

Mu Yangling sighed, rubbed her waist, and walked to the side to sit down.

She instructed Rain, “Go to the cart and find some ingredients to make beggar’s chicken.

We’ll make beggar’s chicken later.” Rain agreed and brought a servant girl and a kitchen maid to the cart to look for the ingredients.

Seeing that Mu Yangling looked tired, Spring poured her a cup of tea.

“Your Highness, why don’t we get Imperial Physician Wang to take a look at you?

You’ve been sleeping too much these few days.

Perhaps you are unaccustomed to the local climate?” If it was in the past, the Princess Consort would definitely follow the Prince and the Little Heir when they went hunting.

However, during these few days, the Princess Consort had never mentioned going with them.

Mu Yangling waved her hand and said, “I don’t feel unwell.

Isn’t it normal to feel sleepy if you don’t sleep well on the road?” ‘But I’ve never seen you so sleepy before, eh?’ Spring advised in a low voice, “Let’s have Imperial Physician Wang take a look since he’s nearby.” Seeing that she was really worried, Mu Yangling nodded in amusement and waved her hand.

“Alright, go and invite him over.” Imperial Physician Wang was with his family.

When he heard that the Princess Consort invited him over for treatment, he was shocked and hurriedly rushed over with his first aid kit.

As a doctor, he was most afraid of having a patient fall sick on the road due to a lack of medicinal herbs and because the patient could not rest adequately.

Because of these reasons, there were certain treatment methods that he could not use.

This time, when he heard that the Duke of Peaceful State and his wife were not coming, he was secretly delighted.

He felt that he could enjoy the scenery in peace along the way.

However, just as they were a few days away from Ju Prefecture, the usually-healthy Princess Consort actually invited him over for a consultation.

Imperial Physician Wang was apprehensive.

He wasn’t so much worried about patients who had always been weak falling sick, but he found it concerning when someone who was usually healthy would suddenly fall sick.

Furthermore, they were on the road… Imperial Physician Wang prayed that there was nothing wrong with the Princess Consort along the way.

When he reached the central area and saw that the Princess Consort was pinching a chili from a plate to eat, he was shocked.

He looked at her face carefully and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that although she looked tired, her face was rosy and she didn’t look sick.

Spring was helplessly putting away the plate when she saw Imperial Physician Wang.

She hurriedly stood up and got someone to bring a small stool for him to sit on.

Mu Yangling sat on the chair without moving.

As she wiped her hands, she said apologetically, “You’re here, Imperial Physician Wang.

Actually, I didn’t think there was anything wrong with me, but Spring and the rest were making a fuss…” Imperial Physician Wang said with a smile respectfully, “It’s only right for Miss Spring and the rest to be careful when serving Your Highness.

Just consider it a routine checkup.” Spring got someone to bring a small table from the carriage so that Imperial Physician Wang could take her pulse better.

Seeing that Imperial Physician Wang was taking the Princess Consort’s pulse, everyone subconsciously lightened their footsteps and paid attention.

Imperial Physician Wang took her pulse for a while before saying with a smile, “Congratulations, Your Highness.

You’re pregnant and it’s been more than a month.

It was still early when we left the capital, so I couldn’t tell when I took your pulse then.

I’m glad Miss Spring came to look for me.” Shocked, Mu Yangling asked worriedly, “Will traveling during this period of time affect the fetus?” Seeing that she was worried, Imperial Physician Wang hurriedly said, “Since Your Highness is healthy, it shouldn’t have much of an impact.

As long as you rest well in the future, you’ll be fine.” Mu Yangling looked worried.

“Not much of an impact… so that means there is indeed an impact.” Imperial Physician Wang looked at her helplessly, but he also knew that this was a common worry for pregnant women.

There were many women whose temperaments changed drastically due to their pregnancy.

In comparison, it was not surprising that the Princess Consort was just a little more worried.

Imperial Physician Wang looked at Spring, who hurriedly led everyone to congratulate Mu Yangling.

The good news spread throughout the entire convoy in an instant, and many people came over to kowtow to Mu Yangling to congratulate her.

When Mu Yangling saw this, she couldn’t help but smile and say, “Alright, we’re on the road.

Even if you kowtow, I won’t give you any red packets.

We’ll have to wait until we return to the General’s Residence to see if the Prince is generous enough.” Spring said with a smile, “His Highness will definitely be more generous than Your Highness upon hearing this good news.

Let’s kowtow first and kowtow again when His Highness comes.

Only this way can we live up to those rewards.”
