Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

Looking at the surging river in front of them, Liu Rusi and the other two couldn't help but feel their hearts surge with emotion.

Little Qin Hao immediately understood why those literati liked to write poetry. Seeing this magnificent natural scenery, he also wanted to recite poetry!

After thinking for a while, some inspiration emerged in his mind. Little Qin Hao was a little shy and did not dare to express it directly, so he ran to Chu Shiyu and whispered to him the poem he had just written. After dozens of days of teaching, little Qin Hao had completely regarded him as his teacher.

After hearing this, Chu Shiyu beckoned for someone to bring him a pen and ink, and commented on Little Qin Hao: "The parallelism is even, and the rhymes are all right. Although it's not a masterpiece that can be passed down, this should be your first poem. It's already very good and worthy of being put on paper."

The desk was placed right next to the river. Facing the surging river, little Qin Hao was open-minded. He slightly modified the poem he had just written, recited it aloud, and then began to write freely!

"Not bad! The handwriting has improved. It's still neat but less childish, and now it's lively and free and easy." Chu Shiyu praised sincerely. Little Qin Hao was only one month away from turning five, and he could never have imagined that there was anyone else with such talent at this age.

Liu Rusi, who was standing by, was also more and more relieved. It was great that Xiao Qinhao could meet Chu Shiyu. Xiao Qinhao could be said to be reborn during this period. She herself could no longer teach Xiao Qinhao now. It was not that she was self-deprecating, but the literary level she had accumulated in school was like a firefly competing with the bright moon compared to Chu Shiyu.

After the ink dried, Prince Duan's entourage moved all the belongings onto a dozen official ships, including the carriage drawn by five horses.

"Let's go. We will take the waterway in the next few days, which can save us a lot of land travel." Chu Shiyu collected Xiao Qinhao's works and handed them to the servants for safekeeping, and then directly picked up Xiao Qinhao.

"Uncle Shi Yu!" little Qin Hao exclaimed. He had rarely been carried around since he was three years old!

"The deck between the ferry and the ship is a bit unstable, so it's safer if I hold you." Chu Shiyu added in his heart that he not only wanted to hold you, but also wanted to hold your mother over there. Unfortunately, he could only hold you now.

Little Qin Hao was shy for a moment, but soon became happy. The broad chest and strong arms gave him a sense of security. Then he found that from Uncle Shi Yu's perspective, his mother looked very petite.

Liu Rusi glanced at the deck of the ferry with suspicion. If it was unstable, shouldn't they just lower it and walk?

Chu Shiyu wouldn't throw her son into the river...

Although this sudden idea was outrageous, Liu Rusi couldn't help but feel uneasy, so she simply hurried over and reached out to grab her son's hand.

Such an outrageous worry naturally could not be revealed, so she pretended to be a little timid and said, "I'm a little scared too."

Chu Shiyu looked at her in amazement and surprise, and couldn't help but free up one hand and said, "How about you hold my hand?"

"No need! Just hold Qin Hao firmly! I'll hold Qin Hao!" Liu Rusi hurriedly urged him to hold little Qin Hao with both hands.

Although it was a bit strange, Chu Shiyu couldn't guess her outrageous thoughts, but guessed that she might be embarrassed to hold his hand. So he didn't force it, and hugged Xiao Qinhao tightly with both hands, secretly happy in his heart, this was the first time she took the initiative to get so close to him after coming out.

After getting on the boat safely, Chu Shiyu did not let little Qin Hao down immediately, but Liu Rusi had already let go, so it seemed that nothing outrageous would happen.

Chu Shiyu was a little disappointed that the deck was so short, but he quickly changed his mind and began to introduce the various positions of the ship to Xiao Qinhao. They were all interested in these structural things.

The two of them walked around and looked around, while Liu Rusi and Caiyun followed Meihong and the others to find their rooms first. Chu Shiyu arranged two adjacent rooms for them and their luggage had already been moved in.

The ship soon set sail, and Chu Shiyu was finally willing to put little Qin Hao down. After giving him a few instructions, little Qin Hao ran off to find Liu Rusi.

"Mom, there is a barge on the boat overlooking the river. It is decorated in a simple and elegant style. We can go there to study. Do you want to go there with Sister Caiyun?" Little Qin Hao asked expectantly.

Liu Rusi readily agreed and walked out with Caiyun. Chu Shiyu was already waiting at the corridor.

But she had just taken a few steps when she suddenly felt a slight dull pain in her lower abdomen. She secretly calculated the day and knew that her menstruation was coming...

"Well...Haohao, you go with Sister Caiyun. Mom suddenly feels a little unwell, so she'll go back to her room and rest for a while." Liu Rusi said tactfully in an awkward tone.

Before Xiao Qinhao could respond, Chu Shiyu hurried forward with a worried look on his face. "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? There's a doctor on board. I'll go get him to take a look?"

Liu Rusi was speechless for a moment, then said relatively bluntly: "It's the kind of discomfort that mature women experience a few days every month."

Chu Shiyu was stunned for a moment, unable to understand for a moment. When he finally dug out some fragmentary information from his vast knowledge, his face suddenly turned red.

"Well...then you go and have a rest. I...will take Xiao Qinhao and the others over first." Chu Shiyu said this, but he didn't leave. He watched Liu Rusi go back to the room before hurriedly taking people to the barge.

Halfway through the journey, he stopped a servant and asked him to call Doctor Ma. When he arrived at the barge, Doctor Ma also hurried over.

He asked Xiao Qinhao and Caiyun to do as they pleased, and he called Doctor Ma to a corner to ask, "Is there anything that women should pay attention to during those few days of the month?"

Doctor Ma was a professional after all, so he wouldn't be so embarrassed. He replied respectfully, "Your Highness, when women have their menstrual period, they should avoid catching cold and eating cold food. They can eat soups that replenish qi and blood, such as red dates and longans."

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Chu Shiyu was still concerned about the discomfort she mentioned.

"It depends on the individual. Some women feel no different from usual, while others experience unbearable cramps." Doctor Ma described the phenomenon objectively.

Chu Shiyu frowned and asked worriedly, "What if the pain is unbearable?"

"There is no immediate method. It can only relieve the pain. You can prepare a hot water bottle. The warmth can relieve the pain. You can also rub your abdomen, which may also have some effect. It is best to take good care of yourself on a daily basis, and you will feel better in the future." Doctor Ma answered with all his heart.

Chu Shiyu didn't know whether Liu Rusi was in pain or not, and it was not appropriate to ask directly, so he simply called the maid Mei Hong and others, and asked the doctor to tell the maids what to pay attention to, and asked them to prepare the soup and the hot water bottle.

In the room at the other end, Liu Rusi fastened her menstrual belt and straightened her dress, planning to take a nap in the room, but just as she closed her eyes, she heard a knock on the door.

Hearing the voices of Juxiang and others, she went to open the door, but when she opened it, she saw that each of the three maids had his hands full of things.

After all the food items were laid out, Mei Hong said, "Madam, do you feel any stomach pain? I have just learned how to rub your stomach, so I can do it for you."

Liu Rusi only felt a moment of embarrassment. She was at most a little weak from her period, but they made such a big scene that it seemed as if she was pregnant...

Although when she was pregnant with Xiao Qinhao, Qin Lie's attitude was much more exaggerated than this. At that time, Qin Lie seemed to think that she was a piece of tofu, and anything could break her. If she hadn't earnestly said that moderate exercise would make it easier to give birth, Qin Lie would probably let her lie in bed until she gave birth...

After a moment of trance, Liu Rusi smiled and said, "I'm not in pain, just a little tired. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

Hearing her refusal again, Juxiang looked at Zhuqing anxiously. Zhuqing gave her a calming look and took over and said, "Madam Liu, would you like to drink a bowl of soup? It won't hurt, but it can also replenish your blood."

There was really nothing wrong with drinking a bowl of soup. Liu Rusi smiled and picked up the soup and smelled it out of habit. But when she smelled it, she couldn't help but frown, as the smell was a bit strange.

Whether in her modern body or in Liu Cui's reborn body, she has a not very useful talent, which is that her sense of smell is sharper than that of ordinary people. With this talent, she might become a gourmet or perfumer in modern times, but she had no way to enter these industries at that time.

She thought that this kind of talent would be even more difficult to use in ancient times, but later she began to try to learn Chinese medicine in this world. After all, the modern medicine she learned was too dependent on equipment and drugs, but Chinese medicine was obscure and difficult to understand. She was completely in the dark when she learned it by herself, and could only start by recognizing the medicinal materials.

Qin Lie would also pick various herbs to sell when he went hunting in the mountains. He was as good at identifying herbs as some professional herbalists. She naturally made full use of the resources around her, learned a lot of herbs from Qin Lie, and used her keen sense of smell to remember the smell of many herbs. Although she didn't know how to use most of the herbs, she deliberately remembered which ones were poisonous...

As for the strange smell in the soup, she remembered it was a slightly poisonous medicine. After drinking it, she would easily suffer from abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea, just like the common human acclimatization. Drinking too much could even lead to death...

Many thoughts flashed through her mind, but after analyzing it several times, she chose to believe Chu Shiyu first. After all, if he wanted to harm her, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.

Putting the bowl down, Liu Rusi said to the maids, "Go and call your prince over."

The three maids were stunned, then knelt down, anxiously asking what they had done wrong, thinking that the prince was dissatisfied with them and wanted to call him over.

Liu Rusi looked at their expressions one by one, then said expressionlessly: "Zhu Qing, go call the prince."

Zhu Qing was stunned for a moment, still hesitating, and Liu Rusi said in an inexplicable tone: "It's still unclear whether it has anything to do with you, but disobeying orders should be a taboo for maids, right?"

A maid who disobeys orders can be beaten to death! Zhu Qing made a quick judgment and immediately went out to find Prince Duan nervously.

Liu Rusi sighed inwardly. She didn't like this practice of distinguishing between the superior and the inferior, but when it came to her own life and death, using her status to pressure others was the most convenient way.

Chu Shiyu hurried over quickly, perhaps because he felt that Zhu Qing's expression was not right, he did not bring Xiao Qinhao and Caiyun.

"Rusi, what happened?" Chu Shiyu naturally hoped that Liu Rusi would take the initiative to find him, but he also knew himself that given their current relationship, she must have something to do with him.

Liu Rusi didn't waste any words. She pointed at the bowl of soup on the table and said expressionlessly, "I think there are medicines in this soup that shouldn't be there. I came to Mr. Chu to ask you to confirm the reason for this soup."

"This is impossible! This soup is mine..." Chu Shiyu was furious. His sincerity was regarded as poison! But he immediately stopped his anger.

Regardless of whether she was just imagining things, he had always planned to slowly gain her trust. Even if the suspicion was pointed out, he would have a chance to prove himself, which was better than her secretly suspecting him.

Having made up his mind, Chu Shiyu calmly told Zhu Qing, "Go and call Doctor Ma."
