In fact, the reason why Xiao Yu was so popular, in addition to the solid foundation laid before leaving Beijing, was the constructive suggestions she made for Qingyang Prefecture and even the entire Yan Country over the years. For example, she emphasized the importance of road construction, attention to farmers’ yields, and introduced high-yield crops like sweet potatoes and corn, which brought immeasurable value to the entire Yan Country.
The seafood and marine goods from Qingyang Prefecture, whenever shipped to Beijing, would be snapped up by predetermined cooperatives before even leaving the port. Despite their fleet now boasting five ships, the supply still couldn’t meet the demand. Of course, the main force behind this was the relentless promotion by the Royal Family. But if their goods weren’t delicious, they wouldn’t sell at all. So, the proper promotion by the Royal Family was one thing, and another was because their stuff was genuinely good.
Thanks to these five ships, the seeds she brought to Qingyang Prefecture, various methods of making delicious foods, and those processing factories, as well as the cut from each port’s shops, she effortlessly boosted Qingyang Prefecture’s economy in just three or four years.
This was also one of the important reasons why the Royal Family valued Shen Xiaoyu so much that even Yan Qing himself was pushed behind her and the grandson.
What annoyed Xiaoyu was that her child hadn’t been weaned yet, and she had only spent a winter with Yan Qing. When spring arrived and she wanted to live an idyllic life on the island, she found herself pregnant again, which was completely different from what she had imagined. Her period was missing, her breast milk hadn’t dried up, and yet she was pregnant again. Heaven knows she berated and hit Yan Qing for quite a while. After all, others would have two babies in three years;what was she, expected to breed like a pig, one a year? How was she supposed to live ?
Yan Qing felt guilty, but he couldn’t help himself, especially since his wife after childbirth had a milk fragrance, not to mention she felt fleshier than before, making it even easier for him to become impulsive. And just like that, they accidentally conceived again.
In fact, it was also Xiaoyu who was careless, thinking that pulling out would be safe, but alas, she wanted to cry without tears!
Fortunately, the doctor diagnosed her and confirmed that her physical condition was still okay, meaning there was no problem with little Doya finding a home.
As a result, her island trip became even less likely, since the place couldn’t accommodate that many people, not to mention all the wet nurses. How could they all go?
Funnily enough, Xiaoyu had originally planned to prepare baby formula for the child, but she overlooked the fact that in ancient times there were wet nurses. Now that she was pregnant again, she knew this child would definitely not be able to breastfeed. So, the child was left in the care of a wet nurse, and she had no choice but to settle down peacefully, knitting sweaters while criticizing Yan Qing’s infidelity.
By the end of the year, hoping for a little cotton-padded jacket and a daughter to complete the set, she miserably gave birth to another son.
This drove Shen Xiaoyu to despair, swearing that she must have a daughter.
Therefore, when Yan Qing wasn’t taking the initiative, she would take matters into her own hands. With her relentless efforts and control, she easily conceived again half a year after her body fully recovered, or after the delivery. From this, she deduced that she probably had an easy conception constitution.
Otherwise, why would it be so easy to get pregnant? If she hadn’t deliberately tried to delay, she might have ended up with three babies in three years!!!
Unlike the previous two times, she felt especially sensitive after getting pregnant this time. The morning sickness wasn’t noticeable the first two times, but this time it was particularly severe. Get full chapters from novᴇlfire.net
Xiao Yu excitedly thought to herself that since her pregnancy feelings were different, perhaps it was her dear daughter coming to report?
