Jingxue looked at the incredulous old woman and said, "Grandma Zhang, my brother's name is Nan Ze'an. You can ask Zhang Daming when he comes back. Tomorrow morning, have your daughter-in-law wait for me at Li's Grain Shop on West Street. Just say the owner sent him! Remember, it's Li's Grain Shop on West Street!"

"I'll remember, I'll remember! Li's Grain Shop on West Street, Miss Nan, thank you!" Grandma Zhang bowed with her hands clasped together.

Jingxue spoke a few more words with Grandma Zhang, then took Runyue and left the Zhang family to return to the Prince's Mansion, also wanting to visit Old Guo's wife.

When Jingxue arrived at the courtyard where Lao Guo and his wife had stayed the day before, carrying her medicine box and leading Runyue, there were several people inside, while Lao Guo's wife stood in the center of the room.

Everyone bowed to Jingxue upon seeing her.

"How is it? No exhaust, right?" Jingxue asked.

"Your Highness, she hasn't passed gas yet. But she seems to be feeling alright, so this servant helped her get down and walk around!" Old Guo said.

"Hmm! It should be able to release gas tomorrow. You all can go out now! Let me take a look!"

Jingxue changed the dressing on Lao Guo's wife's incision, did not give her an IV drip, and left her oral medication.

Today is the day off because it is the first month of the Crown Prince's life. Ye Muchen does not have to attend court, but he still went to the military village construction site to take a look. The foundation has already been dug, and the carpenters are also making doors, windows and beams next to the tents. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner!

Upon returning to the manor, he instructed his steward to prepare a gift for the eldest prince in the storeroom.

The butler brought over a brocade box. Ye Muchen opened it and saw a crystal-clear jade pendant inside!

"Your Highness, today at the Princess's grain shop, each person can only buy ten catties of rice and flour. The queue stretches all the way to the end of the street. Also, Granny Wu, the cook at Lingyunxuan, got intestinal abscess, but Her Highness the Princess cut off her blue tail and the pain stopped!" the steward said.

Ye Muchen understood the steward's implication and asked, "How long will the manor's food last? Are the princess and the others still eating the manor's food? The princess knows medicine, so it's not surprising that she can have any kind of surgery!"

I didn't realize that Lady Wu had a tail, and it's blue!

"Alas! The manor's food supply is only enough for a little over two months. Jingning Garden doesn't need the manor's food and vegetables, but we did manage to save some meat twice!"

"Alright then! Go to our estate and get some grain!" Ye Muchen said helplessly.

"Yes, this servant will go in a couple of days!" The steward didn't say anything more, but in his heart he was thinking that the grain on the estate was nowhere near as good as the grain he bought from the princess's shop!

He sent people to queue up to buy it once. The rice was so delicious that you could eat two bowls of it even without any side dishes!

But since the prince has said so, what can he do?

Jingxue also fussed over herself at Jingning Garden, already dreaming of the Emperor granting her a pardon from death!

Wow! I'm so excited!

Before leaving, Jingxue reminded Xiaoman not to forget to pick up An'an, and then, according to the time given by the steward, she and Runyue arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

Ye Muchen, dressed in a python robe and with a jade belt around his waist, stood by the carriage with his hands behind his back. His lackey, Gao Chi, stood not far away, leading a horse.

Hearing footsteps, Ye Muchen turned around.

Jingxue wore a light blue palace dress with delicate flower petals embroidered on the hem. Her skin was like solidified cream, white with a hint of pink, her eyes were like stars and her lips were moist.

Today she finally styled her hair into a mature woman's bun, with a delicate jade hairpin inserted at an angle, adorned with fine silver beaded tassels that swayed back and forth as she moved!

The little girl was still following behind, also wearing a blue dress and carrying a small bag of the same color!

He was also carrying a large package!

Upon seeing Ye Muchen, the child squatted down, but deliberately raised his arm to prevent the package from falling to the ground. To maintain his balance, he also raised his other arm.

Ye Muchen: You want to fly!

"What are you carrying? I have already prepared a gift. Besides, there are too many people today, so there is no sedan chair available!"

"Your Highness, these are toy rabbits for the two princesses and the eldest prince. They're not heavy!" Runyue said without thinking.

Looking at the unruly little girl, Ye Muchen remembered what Jingxue had said at the Ningguo Duke's mansion that day, "She spoils her maids!" He didn't want to say anything more and got into the carriage first!

In the carriage, Jingxue sat with her eyes closed, thinking about how they were going to Phoenix Palace first today. They had brought some new gadgets, and she wondered if the mall would be upgraded. If it was upgraded, would there be plastic sheeting?

If we delay any longer, the ground will freeze, and building a greenhouse will be too much work!

Ye Muchen looked at Jingxue, whose eyelashes were like small brushes, and asked, "I heard you cut off Madam Wu's blue tail. Do people have tails?"

Jingxue chuckled!

Looking at her radiant smile, Ye Muchen also curved his lips into a smile!

"What blue tail? It's the appendix. Everyone has one. It's a small organ in the abdomen! Removing it won't affect your health!" When it came to medical knowledge, Jingxue unconsciously went a little overboard.

"Oh! Do you know who the grain merchant behind Qin Jing is?"

Upon hearing this, Jingxue became alert. "I don't know!" she said, then closed her eyes again.

Ye Muchen: Why did I bring this up? I finally got a friendly look from him, and then I had to take it back!

When the carriage arrived at the palace gate, Jingxue got off the carriage!

Good heavens! A long line of carriages, with ministers and their families dressed in their finest attire. These people were quite well-mannered, not making a lot of noise, but chatting quietly in twos and threes while waiting in line!

As a member of the royal family, Ye Muchen naturally didn't need to queue and used a special passage.

After entering the palace, they walked to Fengqi Palace. Since the Empress had finished her confinement period, Ye Muchen also came along!

Jingxue was surprised to find so many people at Fengqi Palace: the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, the Consort Xian, two princesses, the Second Princess Consort, and the Eldest Princess Ye Muyan, each with a child.

After exchanging greetings, the Empress Dowager noticed that Runyue was carrying a large package. "What is this girl carrying?" she asked.

"Reporting to Mother, these are dolls for the two princesses! There are several! Keep one for each child! Runyue," Jingxue gestured to Runyue.

When the leap month arrived, the first thing the princess did was take out two pink and white rabbits from the package and give them to the two princesses. The little girl was delighted to see the rabbits, which were half the size of her own body!

There was also a slightly smaller Winnie the Pooh for the eldest prince, which was given to Qi, the nanny beside the queen, during the leap month.

The Second Princess Consort only brought her own eldest grandson, the Emperor's eldest son. The other two children in the mansion were born to concubines. The eldest grandson was one year younger than the eldest princess and was named Ye Ang, an ordinary child.

When the leap month brought the dolls to him, the child turned to Jingxue and asked, "Auntie, can I give one to each of my younger brothers and sisters in the manor?"

Jingxue felt quite fond of this polite child who also thought of his younger siblings. "Of course! Your Majesty's Aunt didn't bring that many today. If you like them, your Majesty's Aunt will give you new toys in the future!"

The child respectfully bowed to Jingxue, saying, "Ye Ang thanks you, Your Majesty!"
