Chapter 185: Must we go to Tingyu Pavilion?
At this time, Yuanbao walked in from outside with a smile: "My dear, your nurse is here!"
Shen Zhinian threw back the quilt and got out of bed: "Come in!"
Her mother passed away early, and Zhou was a smiling tiger. She was brought up by Nanny Lin, and the relationship between the master and servant was very deep.
The Shen family was only a sixth-rank official family before, and Nanny Lin had never seen the splendor of the palace, so she was a little nervous. But she still tried to stay calm so as not to embarrass the young lady.
The moment she saw Shen Zhinian, she seemed to have seen her backbone: "This old slave greets the young master, may the young master be blessed!"
Shen Zhinian hurried forward and helped Nanny Lin up: "Nanny, there's no need to be so polite. Please get up!"
After not seeing her for nearly four months, the young lady had become plumper than when she was at the Shen family, and her complexion was also very good. Nanny Lin was finally relieved.
"I heard from the eunuch who brought me into the palace that the young lady was pregnant, but she was depressed and not feeling well. I was very worried, but when I saw the young lady, my heart finally settled down..."
Shen Zhinian said: "Those things are complicated, I can't explain them clearly at the moment. But don't worry, Nanny, I'm fine."
Nanny Lin knew that the young lady was always smart, and her eyes were full of kindness when she looked at her: "The young lady is pregnant with the royal heir, which is a great joy. This old slave has no other skills, but I will definitely take care of the young lady's baby and make sure it is safe and sound!"
Shen Zhinian patted the back of Nanny Lin's hand and said, "I feel relieved that the nanny is here."
Then, she set her eyes on Madam Xiao: "Madam has just entered the palace and does not understand the rules of the palace. Please give me some advice, Madam."
After all, Madam Xiao was the head madam of Tingyu Pavilion and had a long career in the palace. Suddenly, there was a nurse who had a deep affection for her, so it was hard to guarantee that Madam Xiao would not think too much and worry that her status would be affected.
Shen Zhinian's words showed her attitude. Even if the wet nurse entered the palace, Nanny Xiao would still be in charge of Tingyu Pavilion.
It would be difficult for her to go far in the harem alone. Only by working together could she pull together her energy.
As expected, the smile in Madam Xiao's eyes deepened: "Please rest assured, young master, I will treat Madam Lin as my own elder sister from now on."
Nanny Lin stood up and exchanged greetings with Nanny Xiao. "I am a few years older than you, so I am being too arrogant to call you sister. I hope you can teach me the rules of the palace, so that I won't offend the nobles and cause trouble for the young master."
"Old sister, you are too polite. Although I am well versed in the rules of the palace, I have never married in my life. I really don't know how to take care of a pregnant lady. Now that the old sister is here, everyone in Tingyu Pavilion can rest assured."
The palace maids below were secretly worried before. One was a senior and experienced head nanny, and the other was the young lady's wet nurse. After Nanny Lin entered the palace, they might fight for power and profit.
I didn't expect that the young master solved this hidden danger with just a few words.
This is the way to rule subordinates. It's a pity that the young master can be the master.
Next, Nanny Lin checked everything in Tingyu Pavilion that Shen Zhinian might have come into contact with. She actually found several things that few people knew about but were not suitable for pregnant women.
It’s not that someone wanted to harm Shen Zhinian on purpose. After all, the news of her pregnancy had just spread. Even if others wanted to take action, they couldn’t do it so quickly.
But the huge Tingyu Pavilion was filled with so many things, from screens and ornaments to pots and pans, that there were always some things that the palace servants could not notice.
Everyone admired Nanny Lin's meticulousness.
After these things were done, Nanny Lin sat by the bed and applied the essential oil she had prepared to Shen Zhinian's belly, thighs and other parts of her body.
"My lady, after many women become pregnant, as the fetus grows, their skin will be stretched and wrinkles will form. Even after giving birth, those stretch marks are difficult to eliminate."
"Before I entered the Shen Mansion to be your wet nurse, I used this essential oil to help many ladies. It will definitely help you not get any nipple marks during pregnancy."
Tang Luochuan has already checked that essential oils are indeed good for pregnant women's health.
In her past and present lives, although Shen Zhinian was a mother for the first time, she had never eaten pork in her previous life, but she had seen pigs run: "Don't you usually start to get stretch marks in the second or third trimester? I'm only one and a half months pregnant, why is the nanny applying essential oils to me now?"
Nanny Lin smiled and said, "Everyone's physique is different. You may not develop stretch marks, but it's always better to be on guard."
Shen Zhinian nodded: "Listen to the nanny."
For an emperor, if a concubine had a lot of chrysanthemums on her body, he might feel pity for her difficulty in getting pregnant and giving birth, but he would never favor her again. The truth is so cruel.
Moreover, Shen Zhinian loves beauty, so of course she hopes that she can still be beautiful even after giving birth to a child.
But not every pregnant woman is as lucky as her. Perhaps because of similar situations, Shen Zhinian can empathize with those poor women who have stretch marks during pregnancy, which affect their mood and are despised by their husbands.
"Are you willing to contribute the recipe of this essential oil to the Shen family's store to sell it? You can get 70% of the revenue."
Nanny Lin smiled and said, "It is my fortune that the young lady appreciates my skills. I just contributed a prescription, how can I ask for 70% of the profit?"
Shen Zhinian said angrily: "If the nurse says so, I'd be embarrassed to accept it."
Nanny Lin shook her head lovingly: "Then listen to the young lady, but I will only take 30% of the profit. Young lady is in the deep palace, where does she need money to bribe? Only when young lady is well, I can be better."
Since Nanny Lin had said so much, Shen Zhinian no longer refused.
Nanny Lin looked at her with even more loving eyes.
The young master was the child she raised with her breast, how could she not understand the young master?
Zhou is kind-hearted but cruel-hearted. The master only cares about benefits, and the eldest daughter looks noble but is domineering inside. The young master has lived in a den of tigers and wolves like the Shen family since she was a child. If she doesn't develop some ruthless means to protect herself, how can she grow up safely?
The young lady always says that she is not a good person, but in fact, her nature is kind...
……
Hall of Supreme Harmony.
After the state banquet, Li Changde followed the emperor holding a whisk.
"Your Majesty, on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, according to the rules left by our ancestors, you must go to the Queen's palace. Do you want to go to Kunning Palace?"
In fact, he knew that His Majesty would not go because he disliked the Queen, but he had to remind her according to the rules.
"Don't go."
The palace maids behind him couldn't help but guess that His Majesty was unwilling to give even superficial respect to the Queen. No wonder His Majesty didn't give the Duke of Zhenguo any face at the banquet just now.
Li Changde asked cautiously: "Then... do we need to go to Tingyu Pavilion?"
