Huang Ying smiled and said, “With your beauty, it would be a waste not to share it with others.”
“What a sweet-talker you are, here, have a reward.”
Jiang Ning stuffed a sour jujube into her mouth.
Huang Ying’s face immediately scrunched up: “Sour…”
Jiang Ning laughed and said, “Turns out you’re afraid of sour.”
“It really is very sour… Miss, you must be having pregnancy cravings; I can’t handle the sourness with my teeth.”
“You’re exaggerating, this is a tribute product after all. You all come and have a try.”
Jiang Ning looked at the other maids with disbelief.
The maids all scattered and ran off.
Laughter filled the Crystal Clear Manor.
When the stewardess led the Imperial Physician over, they saw such a scene.
After Nanny Wei, who used to control the backyard, was neatly dealt with by Jiang Ning, Nanny Xu, who had been oppressed, took over her position.
They were all from the palace and were qualified to be called nannies; usually, they could only be called old women.
Nanny Xu, very respectfully, led the Imperial Physician and didn’t even enter Jiang Ning’s room, waiting outside the door.
Generally speaking, only the cleanest maids were qualified to serve their masters closely and enter their bedrooms. Old women, who were considered unclean, would not enter.
Although it was not explicitly stipulated, it had long been an established custom.
Married women would no longer serve their masters closely.
The previous Nanny Wei, relying on her own decency, not only entered and exited Jiang Ning’s room freely, but also dared to pull the little crown prince. Regardless of her merits, no master would like such behavior.
This was a trampling and contempt of the rights and privileges of the upper class.
This was also the real reason why Concubine Jin and her son did not protect her.
Jiang Ning lay on her side on the couch while Chunlai massaged her legs.
Although she was only five months pregnant, her legs were already slightly swollen.
Moreover, she couldn’t walk normally and had to sit most of the time, which made the situation more serious.
After the Imperial Physician bowed, he squatted down to take Jiang Ning’s pulse.
This time, the Imperial Physician was an old and steady man.
Jiang Ning didn’t know him and asked his name. She learned that he was Master Dong Chaofeng, the dean of the Imperial Medical Academy.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, “I’ve heard of a genius doctor named Dong Feng whose name differs from yours by only one character.”
Imperial Physician Dong quickly replied, “Princess Consort, your knowledge is profound. Dong Feng was indeed my ancestor.”
“I see.”
Imperial Physician Dong carefully diagnosed Jiang Ning for a long time. He then withdrew his hand, stood up, and respectfully said, “Princess Consort’s body is fine, and the baby in your womb is also healthy. Although your legs are inconvenient, you still need to walk around more often to avoid sitting or lying down all the time.”
Huang Ying promptly responded.Xiachu quickly asked, “Master, can you tell if our Princess Consort is carrying a boy or a girl?”
Huang Ying glared at her, “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t!”
Imperial Physician Dong just smiled and didn’t say much. He got up and packed his medicine box, “Princess Consort, rest well. I must take my leave and report back to His Majesty.”
Huang Ying said, “Dongxie, please see Master Dong out.”
Dongxie quickly escorted the Imperial Physician out. Before leaving, she handed him a silver ingot, smiling, “Thank you, Master. We will have to trouble you to come and examine our Princess Consort from time to time.”
Imperial Physician Dong hurriedly laughed and said, “Princess Consort is too polite; this is all part of my duty.”
Dongxie smiled brightly and placed the silver ingot in his hand, seeing him out.
This silver ingot was worth twenty taels.
Jiang Ning was very generous in such matters.
Furthermore, the other party was the head of the Imperial Medical Academy; there was no harm in ingratiating with him.
Imperial Physician Dong went to the front yard to see Prince Yu and reported Jiang Ning’s condition to him..
