Chapter 543: Chapter 544, Unfavorable to Offspring
"Mother, let’s go shopping in a few days, I want to see what new accessories the Capital City has recently!"
"Sure, we will also stop by Xufuji to buy some pastries. I heard Xufuji has come up with several tasty new cakes!"
Yun Jinnian wasn’t very fond of pastries, accessories, or dresses, nor was she particularly interested, but seeing Mrs. Han happy, she was willing to accompany her.
They then spoke about embroidery patterns.
"How about I draw a couple of designs for Mother?"
"Sure, you draw them, and I’ll do the embroidery!"
Feeling a rare surge of enthusiasm, Yun Jinnian quickly said, "Mother, wait for me just a moment. I will go and soon be back to draw for you!"
"Alright!"
Mrs. Han was in an excellent mood.
She watched Yun Jinnian go to the lavatory with tenderness, then stood up to lay out the paper, grind the inkstick, and mix the colors.
Mrs. Han possessed artistic talent and, feeling inspired, she took the initiative to paint a picture of proud snow and cold plum blossoms herself.
By the time Yun Jinnian came out, she did not disturb her mother but quietly stood aside and watched.
The mother and daughter rarely shared such a refined pastime.
They painted one picture after another.
The next day, Imperial Physician Zhang came to take Yun Jinnian’s pulse, his brows knitted tightly.
"Imperial Physician Zhang, how is it?" Mrs. Han asked anxiously.
"Miss Fourth has suffered greatly in her early years, and although she has carefully recuperated these past years, a damaged body is a damaged body. Since this is the first time, it has taken longer. I will prescribe a few doses of medicine for Miss Fourth to take, and then I shall come back for a follow-up consultation next time," Imperial Physician Zhang spoke kindly.
However, there were things he did not say.
Yun Jinnian’s body was burdened with an excessive chill, which seemed adverse for bearing offspring.
Mrs. Han nodded quickly, "Thank you, Imperial Physician Zhang!"
"Hmm!"
After writing the prescription, Imperial Physician Zhang left.
Having returned to the Zhang Residence, he then went to report back to the court.
"Adverse for offspring?" the Emperor uttered in astonishment.
"Your Majesty, Miss Fourth of the Yun family has a serious chill in her body, which indeed is adverse for bearing offspring," Imperial Physician Zhang confirmed.
"Is there a remedy?" the Emperor asked somberly.
"This humble servant is incapable," replied Imperial Physician Zhang as he knelt down.
The Emperor thought for a moment, then smiled, "Enough, you may leave. In the future, report to Us truthfully about matters concerning Miss Fourth!"
"Yes!"
The Emperor gestured for Imperial Physician Zhang to leave.
"Summon someone!"
"Your Majesty?" called Eunuch Hai softly.
"I hear that Uncle Wang is celebrating the full month of his eldest grandson today. I shall also go to enjoy a cup of joyous wine!" said the Emperor.
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Hai’s eyes slightly narrowed, and he promptly responded, "Yes!"
Since the Emperor was leaving the palace, a few Hidden Guards would inevitably have to accompany him.
The entourage set out merrily from the palace toward the Wang Residence.
Today was the eldest grandson’s full moon celebration at the Wang Residence, and being the legitimate eldest grandson meant many came to offer their congratulations, including Chu Yu, Chu Zhaowei, and Chu Renzhi.
The three of them exchanged looks and smiled mischievously.
They rallied a group of dandies to drink, issue drinking orders, and made merry without end.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
The crowd was startled but also envious of the Wang Residence’s favored position with the Emperor.
To think the Emperor had actually come for the full moon celebration.
Prince Wang led the way in wanting to kneel and pay his respects, but the Emperor quickly helped him up, "Uncle Wang, no need for formalities today. I come as your junior!" He then smiled at everyone, "There is no need for formalities from anyone, today the star is Uncle Wang’s little nephew!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The Emperor was very pleased with everyone’s deference and his gaze softened.
The Princess holding the baby approached, "Your Majesty, a thousand blessings!"
"Princess, no need for formalities. This must be the little nephew, right?" said the Emperor as he stepped forward and gently tapped the child’s fair and tender cheek, which was truly adorable. He then took out the prepared jade pendant from his bosom, "Here, this is for you from your Imperial Uncle. Grow up healthy and safe, and in the future make your mark and achieve great things!"
