After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 54 Pregnant
Xiangguo Temple covers a very large area, with a temple in front of the mountain and a tea garden behind the mountain. The tea here is said to have absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and is worshipped by people from all walks of life. The tea has a unique aroma and the tea from Xiangguo Temple is very hard to come by.

Next to the tea garden is the west courtyard of the Xiangguo Temple. Even though it is not the tea picking season, there is still a faint scent of tea.

When Rong Peilan woke up, she dimly saw a figure by the window, boiling water and making tea. Against the light, she could even see the corners of her lips slightly raised.

The air seems to be filled with a strange scent of tea and medicine?

"Mother?" Rong Peilan slowly sat up from the bed.

"Lan'er is awake?" Mrs. Zhong, who was sitting by the window, turned around and saw her trying to get up, so she immediately went forward to support her.

"Oh, good boy, don't move, just lie still."

There was some distress in Mrs. Zhong's eyes. "Child, you should have known to be more careful when your period was late. You came all the way here, and when you fainted, I was so scared that I almost died."

Rong Peilan stopped and blinked in confusion, "Huh?"

Seeing her confused look, Mrs. Zhong suppressed her smile and patted her hand, "You are a double-bodied person now."

As she spoke, she helped Rong Peilan lie down, "Master Huiquan came to see you just now. It's still a short time, only a month or so. You may have fainted because you were a little tired these days."

She blamed herself a little as she spoke, "I didn't think it through and put all these things on you, which is why you fainted from exhaustion."

Rong Peilan's mind came to its senses. She couldn't help but touch her belly, her tone full of disbelief, "I, I have a child?"

She had never thought she would have a child, but here he came, unexpectedly.

Mrs. Zhong stuffed a small sachet in her hand into hers, "Lan'er, mother has long said that you are a blessed child."

"Mother hopes that you two will live in harmony. Now I also hope that you can be safe and sound. This is what mother prayed for in front of the Buddha last night. Mother's wholehearted heart is here. I hope I can protect you well."

Rong Peilan looked at the dark circles under Mrs. Zhong's eyes and was deeply moved, "Mother..."

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were about to burst into tears, Ji Yunzhang came in carrying a large coarse porcelain bowl.

"My lady is awake. The temple does not kill animals. I got a bowl of mushroom soup from the young master."

Haitang and Zhou's mother followed him in, carrying two food boxes in their hands.

Mother Zhou smiled and said, "The prince is finally a father, and he knows how to care for others. He asked the chef in the dining room to make this bowl of mushroom soup for him."

Haitang took the lunch box from Zhou's mother and put it on the table by the window.

She uncovered a small clay pot on the table that was cooking something on a small charcoal stove. The faint aroma of tea and medicine that had just been there was now even stronger.

It feels like medicine but not like it, and like tea but not like it.

The refreshing fragrance whetted Rong Peilan's appetite and her stomach growled uncontrollably.

The sound was loud enough for everyone to hear.

Rong Peilan's face turned red instantly, and she almost covered her face and crawled into the ground.

Mrs. Zhong quickly asked Mrs. Zhou to bring the medicine prescribed by Master Huiquan. "Master Huiquan said that this is not a medicine, but it is relatively warming and tonic. It is best for you to take it now."

"Since we are already here, let's stay here first. We will return home when you are more comfortable."

"The scenery of Xiangguo Temple is pleasant. Let Zhang'er take you there for a few more days."

Ji Yunzhang sat next to Rong Peilan with the mushroom soup, the smile on his face never faded.

He helped Rong Peilan up with one hand, "You didn't eat last night. Your stomach has been empty all night. You must be starving."

The young man who usually seemed a bit ruffian suddenly became so gentle that water could drip out of him. Rong Peilan couldn't help but glance sideways as she sat up.

The Ji Shizi, who was frightened by being looked at, finally frowned, "Mother said that you are pregnant now and asked me to be gentle, but I said it and it didn't work!"

Rong Peilan took his hand and got off the bed, raised her hand and poked his face, and said with a smile, "You should change back, my wife is scared when she sees you."

Ji Yunzhang, "..." The young couple was flirting with each other. Mrs. Zhong had already left with Mother Zhou, but their voices could still be heard from a distance.

"Go ask Manager Wu to buy some fabrics. I want to sew two sets of clothes for Lan'er and the child myself."

Mother Zhou's hesitant voice came, "Where is the prince?"

"We only made several sets of clothes last year. He hasn't grown any taller, so why would he need new clothes?"

Prince Ji, "..." He knew that he would not hear any good words from his mother.

Other families forget about their mothers once they get a wife, but their family is different. They don’t care about their sons anymore after they get a daughter-in-law.

Haitang brought a bowl of tea-colored medicine and placed it in front of her, "Madam, Master Huiquan said it's best to drink it before meals."

I'm used to seeing black and bitter medicines, but this is the first time I've seen such medicine.

Rong Peilan drank it all in one gulp, and it was surprisingly refreshing.

Seeing her confusion, Haitang collected the bowls and said, "Master Huiquan's medicine is different from the doctors in the city. It is clear in color and not bitter. That's why all the children here are treated by Master Huiquan."

"I was also amazed when I saw it for the first time."

Seeing that she had finished drinking the medicine, Ji Yunzhang immediately brought the mushroom soup in his hand to her and said, "My wife, drink some. Your husband made it especially for you."

Rong Peilan, who had already drunk a bellyful of soup, was just thinking about how to refuse when Wei Chi appeared at the door at the right time.

"Sir."

Ji Yunzhang paused and looked at Wei Chi, only to see that he looked unhappy.

He stuffed the bowl in his hand into Haitang's hand and hurried away with Wei Chi.

Haitang was a little dissatisfied, "The young lady is already pregnant, and she hasn't even been here for half a day. Why does she have to go now?"

"The prince must have left because he had something to do. I have you by my side now, so I don't need him for anything."

There was a rich variety of dishes on the table. Although they were all vegetarian, they were delicious and tasty.

After Haitang washed her hands, she picked up the chopsticks and served the dishes. "Master Huiquan said that your physical foundation is not very strong. Fortunately, you were healthy as a child and your foundation was not damaged."

"Let us cook more meat for you after we return home. Madam also said to ask the head of the farm to catch two wild boars and bring them back for you as a supplement."

Rong Peilan: "..."

She had seen people using bird's nests and shark's fins as tonic food, but she had never seen people using pork as tonic food.

"Where is Xiangwu?" Rong Peilan found that she hadn't seen Xiangwu, only Haitang was busy here.

"Xiang Wu made a mistake and was punished by the lady to go to the laundry room to help the monks wash clothes."

Haitang paused while serving the dishes, "Madam, I shouldn't say too much, but Xiangwu has ulterior motives, you should let her go."

"What's wrong?" Rong Peilan glanced at her.

Haitang is not a talkative person. She always does her own things quietly and never talks too much in Yuhui Garden. Among so many maids, except Chenchun and Qingtan in the past, she is the most reliable one.

"Xiang, Xiang Wu... Yesterday, when I learned that you were pregnant, I saw her go to see the prince in private."

Haitang said quickly, "The prince asked Wei Chi to throw her out, and Xiangwu was seen by the lady and was punished to go to the laundry room."

Rong Peilan chuckled and said, "It's hard for our Haitang to still be so concerned about this matter."

"I've made note of this. This is a temple and it's not easy to kill people. We should give her another chance. If she doesn't correct herself, she will be transferred to another place when she returns to the government."
