Traveling through time and space

"It's okay, it's time to rest today," Gu Yuanyuan got on her own car, and her second brother also got on his own car. The car went to the Princess's Mansion. I didn't rest well at night and I was tired during the day. What happened to my mother? Gu Yuanyuan took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and took out some fruits, apples, and bananas from the space. She had to bring some gifts when she came to visit. She also took out a lot of pine and bamboo fruits from the space and put them in the room next to the car. Except for Gu Yuanyuan herself, no one was allowed to get on this car alone. With Yulin guarding this, she felt very relieved. Gu Yuanyuan suddenly wanted to drink chicken soup. Taking advantage of the free time on the road, she quickly stewed another chicken and made another dish of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and put it on the stove to simmer slowly. Yue'er in the space had cultivated a human body again and kept watching from the side.

"Master, Yulin mentioned it." Gu Yuanyuan was so focused on the stew in the pot that she didn't hear the noise outside. She quickly washed the car and returned to it, but the car had already stopped.

"The prince is back."

"Are there guests coming to the mansion?" asked the second brother.

Gu Yuanyuan got out of the car and said, "Your servant greets the princess."

"In reply to the prince, Madam He is here." The doorman Xiao Lu replied.

Gu Yuanyuan naturally heard it and teased his second brother, "Second brother, you are shy."

The second brother ignored Gu Yuanyuan and glared at her. Then they both entered the yard and went straight to their mother's Kangyiyuan.

"Mother, the princess was worried about you and insisted on coming with me."

"What is she doing here? She's still injured, how can she have the time? She doesn't even know how to rest more."

"Mom, if you don't miss Yuanyuan anymore, then Yuanyuan will go back," Gu Yuanyuan walked into the house, and her mother stood up. There were other people in the room, Mrs. He and her second son.

"Your Highness, I greet the Princess."

"Your humble servant greets the legitimate princess." Gu Yuanyuan turned her head to look at the side, and found that there was another person named Du Heng.

"Master Du, why are you here?" Gu Yuanyuan was very curious.

"Princess, this is my elder brother."

"Yes, Yuanyuan, Uncle Du and mother are old acquaintances. How did you get to know Uncle Du?"

"Second brother, Yuanyuan and Lord Du met in Liupu. I never thought that Lord Du is Madam He's brother."

"Princess, I want to thank you very much. I feel much better these days and can sleep well at night. I really want to thank you very much."

"Madam He, you're welcome. When the medicine is used up, just ask your second brother to go to the princess's residence to get some more. It's difficult to eradicate your disease, but it can be alleviated. As long as you do as I say, there will be no possibility of recurrence." Gu Yuanyuan stepped forward and helped Madam He up.

"Princess, please take care of yourself. I'll take my leave now." Du Heng took his leave. Gu Yuanyuan actually saw him glance at his mother who was sitting at the top of the table, and then looked at her again with a shy look.

"Princess, I will take my leave as well." Madam He and Mr. He Er stood up and said goodbye as well.

"Yujing, you will personally send Madam He and Lord Du off."

"Yes, mother."

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Gu Yuanyuan sat next to her mother.

"He's old, and this is an old problem. But you, are you okay? Where are you hurt? I heard that your father took back the title of Prince from the Sixth Prince? Where did he hit you?" Mother stood up and took Gu Yuanyuan for a walk.

"Mother, like mother, like son. Just now, when my second brother saw Yuanyuan, he did the same thing as mother. My sixth brother didn't mean to hit Yuanyuan. It was just that when they were pulling, Yuanyuan lost her balance and fell. Father has already vented his anger on Yuanyuan, so Yuanyuan no longer blames my sixth brother. Don't worry, mother. The imperial physician and the female doctor checked him yesterday. He just had some bruises on his body and took medicine. It's nothing serious." Gu Yuanyuan pressed his mother to sit, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

"It has been like this for three or four days. I can't sleep well at night, I don't have energy during the day, and I always feel uncomfortable here," the mother pointed to her heart and abdomen. Although Gu Yuanyuan was not trained in traditional Chinese medicine, she was also an enthusiast. After taking her pulse, she found that apart from weakness, there was nothing else wrong.

"Mom, what did you eat the night you felt unwell? Did you go to bed right after eating?"

"Yes, mother was happy that day and asked the kitchen to add a few more dishes. Maybe because I was happy, I ate half a bowl of rice more and also ate the braised pork which I usually don't like to eat." The second brother explained.

"Then don't worry, Mom. She's fine." Gu Yuanyuan smiled and returned to her seat. "Mom is old, she just has indigestion."

"What do you mean?" Mother and second brother asked at the same time.

"We just eat too much and then go straight to bed. The food we eat can't be digested properly, which is called indigestion and indigestion."

"so what should I do now?"

"Starting today, don't lie down immediately after eating. Walk around, take a stroll, and move around. Half an hour will be enough. Eat more vegetables and fruits these days, especially at night, and eat less meat that's hard to digest. Fish and shrimp are only for nighttime. In other words, you should eat a good meal in the morning and at noon, and make sure to eat light food at night."

"Yuanyuan, is there any way to make mother feel more comfortable today?" The second brother also came into the room.

"Mom, go to the inner room. Yuanyuan will give you a massage and apply some medicine. I promise you'll be fine. Second brother, go tell Yulin to get that package from the compartment in the car." Gu Yuanyuan wanted to take out some stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets, but she couldn't just take them out from thin air, so she had to ask someone to go get something from the car. Just now, Gu Yuanyuan took some mint from the space and put it in the compartment, which was perfect for making tea. Second brother went out. "Mom, find a personal maid to come in with you. Yuanyuan will teach her the massage technique so that she can give you a massage in the future. Also bring in some writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone."

"Mrs. Jiang, come in with us. Rumian, go get the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone and bring them in."

Gu Yuanyuan rubbed her hands while Mrs. Jiang helped her mother lie down. "Mom, just expose your belly."

"Princess, why are you rubbing your hands?" asked Mrs. Jiang curiously.

"Warm up your hands and then place them on your mother's abdomen. This will not irritate her skin and will make her feel more comfortable," Gu Yuanyuan explained while massaging the Zhongwan, Tianshu and Shangwan acupoints. These acupoints can dredge the meridians, promote digestion of the spleen and stomach, and help with recovery from illness. She carefully told Mrs. Jiang that the Zhongwan acupoint is located in the upper abdomen, on the anterior midline, 4 inches from the navel; the Tianshu acupoint is located in the abdomen, horizontally at the navel, 2 inches away from the anterior midline; the Shangwan acupoint is located in the upper abdomen, on the anterior midline, 5 inches above the navel. She told her over and over again. When she almost understood it, Gu Yuanyuan thought it would be more practical to write it down. Gu Yuanyuan wrote outside that when he heard his mother say that she was going to the clean room, he felt a little relieved, so he wrote down how to massage word by word. Second brother's box was also taken over. Gu Yuanyuan pretended to take out the stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets she had just taken from the box. "Mom, after each meal, put this small packet in your mouth with warm water. Take two meals today. If you feel better tomorrow, don't take any more." Gu Yuanyuan gave five small packets and, to prevent others from noticing anything unusual, ground them into powder. The mother who came out took one small packet first and sat down to talk. "Mom, why haven't you seen eldest brother in a long time?"

"He bought a new yard and moved out. I haven't had a meal with him in almost two months." Mother's expression was clearly disappointed. "I heard he had another daughter a while ago."

"Mother, please help my eldest brother. Although she is not my biological child, she is the eldest son of the Princess's Mansion. I raised her with great care since she was a child. Just for this woman, my eldest brother's relationship with the family is severed."

"Mom, second brother, tell Yuanyuan the truth. What's the origin of the woman that eldest brother likes? Why are you so repulsed by her?"

"Her name is Zheng Xiyun. She used to be the most popular courtesan in Yancailou and the daughter of Mrs. Fang in Yancailou." The second brother said with some disdain.

"Yan Cai Lou? Sounds familiar," Gu Yuanyuan was sure she had heard of the name. "Is Yan Cai Lou a place for fireworks?"

"Yes, it's spread all over the place now. The eldest son of the Princess's Mansion found a prostitute and has already had three children." The second brother said helplessly.

"Mother, Yuanyuan has seen eldest brother several times. To be honest, I always feel that there is something wrong with eldest brother. He has an unknown pain in his heart, which is incomprehensible to others. Mother, Yuanyuan wants to comfort you. Second brother is the prince of the Princess's Mansion. He will be the one to support the family in the future. So mother, don't have too many expectations of eldest brother. Although eldest brother was not born by mother after ten months of pregnancy, it is not easy to raise him to this age. I believe that eldest brother does not want to make his family sad. It's just that what eldest brother did in this matter was wrong to make mother sad. "I feel bad and want to bring shame to the Princess's Mansion, but has Mother ever asked Big Brother? Why would he rather go out and live on his own than marry that woman? He is an adult and can be responsible for what he has done. Mother should not blindly push Big Brother out, otherwise he will really be pushed to that woman. Big Brother will not know that his mother is sulking at home alone. Big Brother must think he is very happy now. In this situation, Big Brother must be in a difficult situation, and he must have his own difficulties."

"Yes, your eldest brother doesn't want to support the princess's mansion, so it's time to follow his heart. However, no matter who he marries, even if it's an ordinary servant, mother can accept it, as long as they are happy. But he actually married a woman from a brothel six years ago, and his mother-in-law is an old brothel owner. Mother is the eldest princess, a daughter of the royal family, how can I become a family with a prostitute? Forget it, forget it, just do as you say, as long as he feels happy," mother shook her head distressedly, "Mother is fine, you can go back to take care of your own things. Your second brother's marriage is also set, and he will get married on August 18th."

"Then Yuanyuan congratulates Second Brother." Gu Yuanyuan stood up. According to etiquette, Gu Yuanyuan could not bow to Second Brother Wei, but she would politely stand up and speak face to face when calling him Second Brother, especially on such a happy occasion. "Mother, Yuanyuan has other arrangements today. Mother will take the medicine first. If the condition does not improve the day after tomorrow, let Second Brother go to the Princess's Mansion to find Yuanyuan."

"Okay, I'll come find you if I have anything to do. If you need any help from your second and eldest brothers, you should also tell them. They can also help you if you need anything."
