“A child is like a piece of white paper. Her eyes are clear and bright, so of course, she looks good. You’re about to give birth, aren’t you?” Zhou Ying asked.
“That’s right, my Imperial Mother said that there’s less than a month left.”
“You have to be careful. Stay in this room and don’t go out later. Don’t knock into something.”
“That’s what I thought too. I’ll watch over the baby today.” After saying that, Mingyu asked the servant girl beside her to open a square box.
“This is a little toy for her. Don’t mind it, okay?”
“How could that be? It’s inlaid with high-quality white jade. But isn’t it too expensive for a baby?”
“It’s nothing. If she likes it, she can wear it for a lifetime.”
After chatting for a while, Zhou Ying also learned that the northern border had started to have conflicts again.
Soon, Elderly Consort An and Consort An walked in together, giving Guoguo a gold-inlaid jade safety lock.
After a few polite greetings, Consort An went over to show concern for Mingyu.
Zhou Ying also knew from her conversation with Elderly Consort An that her high blood pressure had acted up. She wanted to find Gu Chengrui to take her pulse and prescribe some medicine to bring back, apart from celebrating Guoguo’s month-old birthday.
Zhou Ying reminded her, “This disease is easy to relapse when the seasons change. You have to be careful. Don’t catch a cold.
“Especially in the morning, you must wait for the sun to rise and the cold air to dissipate before coming out.
“Now that it’s foggy, catching a cold will be detrimental to your body.”
“That makes sense. I just rushed into the palace the morning before yesterday and felt uncomfortable when I came back.”
“If there’s an emergency, wear a hat or a headscarf.”
“Alright, I’ll remember this.”
Following that, many more people came in one after another. However, they were afraid of disturbing the baby, so they quickly went outside.
Zhou Ying received a lot of jewelry on Guoguo’s behalf.
When it was almost time to eat, Niu Fugui suddenly ran in from outside and shouted, “Consort Xian is here.”
Gu Chengrui immediately stood up and bowed.
Then, he noticed that Eunuch Qian had also come down from the carriage behind him and gave him a simple bow.
Eunuch Qian returned the greeting. “Lord Gu, you are too polite. I am here today on behalf of the Emperor and the Empress to congratulate you.”
“Welcome, please come in.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he led them in.
After Gu Wanning entered, she walked straight to the main courtyard with Chun Xi.
When everyone saw her, they immediately stood up and bowed.
After Gu Wanning returned the greeting to Elderly Consort An and the other elders, she turned around and walked into the bedroom.
Zhou Ying and Mingyu were about to stand up and bow when Gu Wanning waved her hand. “No need. I’ll take a look at my niece first.”
After saying that, she walked up to Guoguo.
Guoguo happened to be awake. When she saw her gorgeous outfit, she immediately smiled and stretched out her hand.
Gu Wanning smiled. “Guoguo, since you like me so much, I’ll give you a little gift.”
After saying that, she put a jade pendant on her neck. However, she realized that Guoguo was still staring at her, and her small hands scratched at her.
Gu Wanning picked her up curiously.
Guoguo grabbed the red coral tassel on Gu Wanning’s hairpin when she lowered her head.
Zhou Ying quickly stepped forward and lifted Guoguo up. She took her over and said, “Stinky girl, you dare to grab anything.”
“It’s okay. If she likes it, just give it to her. It’s just a hairpin.” After Gu Wanning finished speaking, she was about to pull it down.
“Don’t. Not to mention that you can’t mess up your appearance; we can’t spoil her either. Otherwise, it’ll be troublesome if she becomes a little tyrant.” Zhou Ying quickly stopped Gu Wanning.
Guoguo might have sensed that the thing she liked was about to fly away. Her little mouth pouted, and she immediately started crying..
