Madam Qi knelt anxiously and apologized: "I don't know the rules and have angered Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Marquis' wife. I have come here to apologize and hope to be forgiven by both of you!"

Princess Youyi said coldly, "Madam Qi, do you know that if you were to be in the capital, you would be beaten to death on the spot for disrespecting the royal family?"

Old Madam Qi regretted it immensely. She was not a fool and could see that the princess in front of her was trying to use her to establish her authority.

But she couldn't refute it. Who made her so stupid that she fell into the hands of the princess?

She immediately kowtowed and begged, "I have realized my mistake. I promise I will never do it again. Please, Your Highness, please don't be angry with me!"

Qi Yuan also spoke up: "I have already discussed it with my mother and will send her to the farm immediately to prevent her from causing trouble in the city!"

Madam Qi wiped her tears and said, "Yes, I will no longer stay in the city to bother Her Royal Highness the Princess. Now you should be able to calm down, right?"

Princess Youyi couldn't help but frown: "Look at what you said, it's as if I can't tolerate you and want to drive you away?"

Madam Qi quickly denied it: "No, it has nothing to do with Her Royal Highness the Princess. I asked to go to the Qi family's farm on my own initiative!"

Princess Youyi nodded in satisfaction. She said calmly, "Since Old Madam Qi has admitted her fault, I will not pursue the matter any further. I will tell the city lord not to blame Officer Qi anymore!"

The mother and son immediately kowtowed in thanks: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Youyi served tea and sent the guest away.

After their backs disappeared, Princess Youyi looked at the silent Lin Yiwan and said, "Aunt Wan, are those noble ladies in the city frightened now?"

Lin Yiwan nodded: "Well, with the precedent of Madam Qi being driven away to Zhuangzi, those people won't dare to look down on you anymore!"

Princess Youyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She was no longer the well-protected little girl in the palace. She was the wife of the Lord of Jingcheng and needed to stand on her own.

As she was thinking this, her stomach suddenly started to growl violently.

She subconsciously covered her mouth and retched a few times with an ugly look on her face.

Lin Yiwan was startled and immediately brought the copper basin in front of her.

She waved her hands in pain: "I can't vomit it out. I have no appetite to eat in the morning!"

Lin Yiwan didn't expect her morning sickness to be so severe. She had no choice but to advise: "Youyi, you can't do this. You must eat, otherwise it will affect the fetus!"

Youyi stammered palely, "Auntie, I can't eat. I really can't swallow a single thing!"

Lin Yiwan said decisively: "I'll ask the kitchen to make you meals with various smells. Experiment and see which one won't make you gag after smelling it!"

Princess Youyi didn't have the energy to refuse and could only let Lin Yiwan go and make the arrangements.

About an hour later, the meal made with five kinds of ingredients including sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty was placed in front of Princess Youyi.

She covered her nose with a handkerchief and said, "Auntie, I really can't smell anything. I don't know why, but even the most fragrant smells stink when they reach my nose. I subconsciously want to vomit, let alone eat!"

Lin Yiwan frowned and asked, "Can I try it first?"

Princess Youyi didn't want to disappoint her, so she had to pick up the food with chopsticks.

It’s just that the food came out the same way it entered her mouth.

She didn't even chew it!

Lin Yiwan was worried. She couldn't help but say, "Youyi, if you keep going like this, you won't be able to take good care of the baby, and you'll probably starve to death!"

Princess Youyi's eyes turned red with anxiety. She sobbed and asked, "Auntie, what should I do? Why is pregnancy so hard?"

Lin Yiwan soothed softly, "We'll find a way!"

Just at this moment, a strong stench suddenly wafted in from not far away.

Lin Yiwan's expression suddenly changed. She immediately asked, "What's gone bad? Take it away quickly, before it stinks, Princess!"

Unexpectedly, Princess Youyi sniffed hard and said, "Huh? This smell is so unique? Where does it come from?"

Zhan Miao poked half of his head out of the door. "Mom, Sister Youyi, did Miaomiao's fried stinky tofu bother you? I'll finish it soon!"

Princess Youyi subconsciously stopped him: "Meow, don't eat it all, leave some for me, I, I want to try it!"

Zhan Miao asked worriedly: "Ah? Don't you find it smelly?"

Princess Youyi hurriedly shook her head: "No problem, bring it here quickly!"

Zhan Miao rolled his large, distinct black and white eyes and kept glancing at Lin Yiwan: "Mother, it was Sister Youyi who asked me for it!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Youyi was desperate and was trying every possible means. If she ate a bite of this fried stinky tofu, she would probably vomit even more violently.

But she didn't stop it.

She thought it was worth a try!

She quickly took a half step back and said, "Then bring it to your sister Youyi!"

Zhan Miao brought the exquisite little jade plate hidden behind his back to Princess Youyi, which contained three pieces of golden fried stinky tofu.

She said proudly, "This smell is really great. When I first smelled it, I thought it was Brother Xuan's stinky socks that fell into the frying pan. It was so stinking that I almost turned around and ran away!"

Princess Youyi asked curiously, "Then why did you eat again?"

Zhan Miao quickly replied, "Brother Xuan and Ye Qian said it was delicious, so I tried it. It turns out they weren't lying. This thing smells bad, but tastes delicious!"

After hearing her words, Princess Youyi swallowed instinctively.

She turned and looked at Lin Yiwan pitifully: "Auntie, I want to try it!"

A trace of heartache flashed in Lin Yiwan's eyes. If Youyi hadn't gotten pregnant unexpectedly, she would still be a little girl who depended on adults.

Thinking of this, she hated the bastard King of Gaoyou.

She said softly, "If you want to eat it, try it. The worst that can happen is you'll vomit!"

Princess Youyi hurriedly stuffed a small piece into her mouth and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

She couldn't help but praise it vaguely: "No wonder Miao'er and Xuandi like to eat it, it turns out it's really delicious. This smell is so attractive!"

Lin Yiwan frowned suspiciously. Is it really that delicious?

Zhan Miao quickly stuffed the plate into her hands: "Mom, you should try it too!"

The strong stench filled Lin Yiwan's nose, and immediately made her stomach churn violently.

She didn't hesitate any longer and ran outside.

She stopped only after she was sure that the stench was far away from her.

Zhan Miao and Princess Youyi laughed behind her. She gritted her teeth and said, "Pregnancy really does give you a unique taste. How could she eat something so stinky that she could enjoy it so much?"

Maybe because he had eaten something, Youyi's complexion and spirit were not so bad anymore.

She first sent someone to reward the old woman who made the fried stinky tofu, and then asked her to prepare some more stinky tofu.
