Chapter 798: Loss of Appetite in Summer Chapter 798: Loss of Appetite in Summer Editor: Atlas Studios As Bowen was going to participate in the village examination in two years, he could no longer manage the nursery.
In addition, now that the nursery had belonged to the royal family, it had to be separated from the Mu family.
Hence, Mu Yangling began to let Bowen hand over the responsibility to the people she had sent.
By the time she had finished settling these remotely, it was already April.
The weather had begun to heat up, and with her stomach now as big as a balloon, it was inevitable that she would feel frustrated.
When Spring saw this, she opened the ice cellar in advance and placed an ice basin in the room.
Only then did she feel better.
When Qi Haoran returned, he felt cold the moment he entered the room.
It was completely different from the stuffy heat outside.
Little Bear was sitting obediently beside his mother and reading a sketchbook.
It was a storybook drawn by Qi Haoran, and Mu Yangling had written a story to match the illustrations.
Of course, in order to nurture his sonâs correct aesthetic sense of font, the words were also written by Qi Haoran.
It had just been completed not long ago and Little Bear flipped through it every day.
When he saw his father enter, he slid down the bed with the book and ran to his fatherâs side.
âDaddy, read the story to me.â Qi Haoran carried him up and placed him on the couch.
âAsk your mother to read it to you.â Little Bear pouted.
âMotherâs not as good at story-telling as you.
I want to hear you read it.â If it was in the past, Qi Haoran would definitely be smug.
However, today, he only responded absent-mindedly and picked up the storybook to read to him.
Seeing this, Little Bear got angry and stuffed the storybook into his motherâs hand.
âMother, read this to me.â Mu Yangling also looked at Qi Haoran in surprise.
In the past, when he read stories to Little Bear, he did it in a vivid manner, even imitating the sounds made by the animals or putting on a straight face as he imitated a serious teacher.
Not only was Little Bear fascinated, but sometimes he would also be so engrossed that he would listen with his eyes widened.
What was going on today?
However, seeing how angry Little Bear was, Mu Yangling didnât have time to ask Qi Haoran.
She took the storybook and started reading his favorite story to him.
Qi Haoran stood up and walked outside, then beckoned Spring over and asked with a frown, âItâs only late April.
Why are there ice basins already?â Spring answered with her head lowered, âItâs really too stuffy and hot these few days.
Her Highness canât sleep at noon and her appetite has decreased by half.
Imperial Physician Wang said that itâs a case of one losing appetite and weight in summer, but because Her Highness canât take medicine or consume icy drinks, we can only place ice basins in the room.â Frowning slightly, Qi Haoran said, âRemove one ice basin at night.
Get someone to clean up the waterside pavilion and install a gauze around it.
Move a wider wooden couch over and let the Princess Consort rest there at noon.
Try to place fewer ice basins in the room.â He then called the kitchen maid over to ask about the Princess Consortâs diet in detail.
When he heard that Mu Yangling couldnât even finish a bowl of rice for lunch today, he immediately said angrily, âWhatâs the use of having you around when you canât even cook well.
?
If she doesnât like to eat this, you can cook something else.
If she refuses to eat, itâs because you guys canât cook well.â This was a little unreasonable.
Who would have thought that Mu Yangling, whoâd always had a healthy appetite, would be unable to eat during the summer now that she was pregnant?
Seeing that the kitchen maid was trembling in fear, Qi Haoran turned to Fei Bai and said, âGo out and find a chef whoâs good at making refreshing side dishes.
Focus on making light-flavored foods.
Since the Princess Consort doesnât have a good appetite, nourishing her stomach is key.â Fei Bai agreed.
Spring and the others bowed and left with the trembling kitchen maid.
At night, Mu Yangling had diarrhea and woke up three times.
Extremely worried, Qi Haoran called Imperial Physician Wang in the middle of the night.
Even when he found out that there was nothing serious, his expression was still dark.
Feeling guilty, Mu Yangling held his hand and said, âItâs all my fault for asking them to place too many ice basins because I wanted to cool down.
Donât be angry, Iâll be more careful in the future.â Qi Haoran held her in his arms and touched her growing stomach.
âThis child is tormenting you too much.
Why are you still so sleepy when itâs already been six months?
And itâs summer.
Itâs only been seven to eight days, but youâve already lost so much weightĂąâŹÂŠâ Qi Haoran pinched Mu Yanglingâs arm and his heart ached even more.
She had clearly become much plumper previously, and her arms were as fair as snow, chubby like Little Bearâs lotus root-like arms.
However, in just a few days, her arms felt like skin and bones again.
Qi Haoran gently touched her stomach and said in a low voice, âWhen he comes out, Iâll smack his butt.â Mu Yangling burst out laughing and sighed.
âIâm afraid you canât bear to do it when the time comes.â âIâll definitely be willing to.
If I can beat up Little Bear, surely I can bear to smack this one.â Mu Yangling looked at him disdainfully and asked faintly, âWhen did you beat up Little Bear?
Gently patting his butt a few times doesnât count.
Thatâs more like patting dust off his butt.â Qi Haoranâs face turned red.
Therefore, though it was said that âa benevolent mother spoils her childrenâ, in their family, there was also a benevolent father spoiling the child.
âIâve gotten someone to clean up the waterside pavilion.
Go there for an afternoon nap at noon since itâs cooler there.
Iâll get Mrs.
Liu to come over and chat with you so you can relax.
Didnât Imperial Physician Wang say that if youâre in a good mood, you might have a better appetite?â Mu Yangling yawned and muttered, âForget it, Iâm not familiar with Mrs.
Liu and Iâll still have to entertain her when she comes.
Besides, I have to sleep for 16 to 18 hours a day.
I canât just fall asleep while talking, right?
How rude would that be?â Qi Haoran fell into deep thought.
The next day, Mu Yangling moved to the waterside pavilion to rest.
Because of the gauze, mosquitoes couldnât enter.
This gauze let in some air, and when the breeze blew, the summer heat would decrease by 30%.
Coupled with the fact that this place was near water, the temperature was lower than other places.
Mu Yangling no longer felt stuffy or hot, but her appetite was still bad.
She was clearly very hungry, but she didnât have any appetite at all when food was placed before her.
Not wanting to starve her unborn child, she could only force herself to eat.
Qi Haoranâs heart ached when he saw Mu Yangling forcefully swallowing the food with a pale face.
He picked up some vegetables for her and said, âEat this.â When Mu Yangling looked down and saw the oil glistening on the vegetables, she almost vomited.
She turned her head away and swallowed the mouthful of rice in her mouth, then waved her hand and said, âNo, I canât eat anymore.
You guys eat.â When Qi Haoran saw that there was still half a bowl of rice in her bowl, worry flashed across his eyes.
However, he nodded and helped her sit on the couch.
âRest for a while first.
Little Bear and I will talk with you after we finish eating.â Little Bear looked at his mother worriedly.
Just as he was about to ask, his father turned his head back.
âHurry up and eat.
After eating, perform a show for your mother.
If you can cheer your mother up, Iâll bring you to ride on a horse tomorrow.â Little Bear quickly stuffed rice into his mouth.
Qi Haoran sighed slightly and got someone to guard the kitchen.
At night, when Mu Yangling woke up from hunger, she asked for plain water and a bowl of noodles with some vegetables without the addition of any oil.
Seeing that she had finished the small bowl of noodles, Qi Haoran heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, âIf you enjoyed eating this, Iâll get them to prepare it again tomorrow.â Mu Yangling nodded.
âI hope I can still eat tomorrow.â Qi Haoran hugged her and said with a smile, âIâm sure you can.â
