Chapter 800: Asking for Advice Chapter 800: Asking for Advice Editor: Atlas Studios Liu Dahei’s heart skipped a beat.
Why was the Prince looking for Jinhua?
Could it be related to the Miao people?
However, he had not heard of any conflict between the Miao and Han people recently.
On the contrary, because the corn seeds and dry rice seeds promoted by the Harvest Grain Store had allowed them to reap a good harvest, their relationship had eased a lot.
In addition, Magistrate Liu from Ju Prefecture had set up Miao-Han academies in various counties to specially teach Mandarin to the Miao people and the Miao language to the Han people, the relationship between the two races had improved significantly.
The last ti Liu Dahei’s father-in-law ca to visit his son, the forr had even asked him what gift to give Little Heir for his birthday.
Could it be that the two sides had fallen out in just a few days?
Heart filled with trepidation, Liu Dahei asked soone to invite Jinhua over.
He carefully observed the Prince’s expression.
Qi Haoran lowered his eyes and drank his tea quietly without any expression on his face.
When he saw Jinhua enter, he looked up at her and couldn’t help but reveal a hint of envy in his eyes.
Jinhua had just given birth not long ago and was already about twice as chubby as before.
If it was in the past, Qi Haoran would definitely not take a second look at her.
However, in Qi Haoran’s eyes now, she was like a treasure.
If Ah Ling could be so chubby, he would wake up laughing in his dreams.
Qi Haoran straightened his back slightly and gestured for Jinhua to sit down.
He asked her how her diet had been recently, whether she was suffering a loss of appetite due to the sumr heat, what she liked to eat, and which region her kitchen maids ca from… Liu Dahei’s expression beca uglier and uglier.
Even he, as her husband, had never cared about such matters.
Why did the Prince suddenly ask about Jinhua for no reason?
Jinhua also felt that it was very strange, but she could not think of anything wrong, so she answered honestly.
Although this was her first pregnancy, other than so morning sickness in the first month, she hadn’t felt any discomfort.
A little disappointed, Qi Haoran asked, “Aren’t there any adverse effects due to the hot weather?” Jinhua tilted her head slightly and asked, “Does a lack of appetite count?” Qi Haoran perked up and nodded repeatedly.
“That counts.” Qi Haoran looked at her with bright eyes and asked, “You didn’t have a good appetite?” Liu Dahei looked back and forth at the two of them strangely.
Why did the Prince seem so happy that his wife couldn’t eat?
“It was hot a few days ago and I didn’t have a good appetite.
I didn’t want to eat anything.” “What about now?” Qi Haoran looked at her with shining eyes.
“I’m much better now.
The doctor prescribed two doses of dicine and I felt better after taking them.
Moreover, the kitchen prepared so light and appetizing dishes for .” Qi Haoran frowned slightly.
“Do you still have the prescription?” Recalling the rumors he had heard recently, Liu Dahei had a vague guess in his heart.
He hurriedly asked soone to bring the prescription over.
When Qi Haoran unfolded it, he frowned even more.
He recognized this prescription—it was a prescription to relieve heat and strengthen the stomach.
Imperial Physician Wang had written a few prescriptions that were better than this, but Ah Ling had taken two or three doses to no effect.
Furthermore, due to being pregnant, she couldn’t drink too much dicine.
After drinking for two days, she refused to drink anymore after seeing that there was no effect.
Although Qi Haoran was a little disappointed, he was here for sothing else.
So, he asked, “You grew up in Lingnan, and I heard that your father often brought you around.
Have you been to many places in Lingnan?” Jinhua nodded and patted her chest proudly.
“My father dotes on .
Whenever he went out, he’d bring along even if he didn’t bring my brother along.
I’ve been to many places.” “Then do you know of suitable locations to avoid the heat?” Qi Haoran emphasized.
“Sowhere cool for pregnant won.” “Is the Princess Consort going out to avoid the heat?” Jinhua tilted her head and said, “You Han people are really particular, to have to head sowhere just to avoid the sumr heat.” “Ahem.” Liu Dahei coughed lightly and interrupted Jinhua.
He said in a low voice, “Just tell him if there’s a place in Lingnan that’s cooler during the sumr to avoid the heat.” Jinhua pursed her lips and said, “Even if there is, don’t tell you’re going to build a house there now?” Qi Haoran said in a deep voice, “You just have to say yes or no and where it is.
You don’t have to worry about anything else.” Jinhua replied, “Yes.
Not so far from here, there’s a large mountain spring in the Bisha Tribe.
There’s a small valley surrounded by a dense forest there, so it’s very cool.
Every year, during the hottest ti in June and July, one has to cover themselves with a blanket at night.
I heard from my father that there’s a vent there.
There’s a lot of water and trees, so it’s especially cool.
The mountain spring there is excellent—warm in winter and cool in sumr.
However, that’s the territory of the Bisha Tribe.
Also, there are especially many poisonous insects, snakes, and ants.
Can you Han people live there?” “Is there anywhere else besides this one?” “Yes, but it’s even more impossible for you to go to those regions.
For example, the peak of the Monkey Ridge and the bottom of the Green Cliff.
Do you dare to bring your wife to stay in these places?” Jinhua sneered.
“It’s just sumr.
Do you really have to go through so much trouble?” Qi Haoran turned to look at Liu Dahei.
“I’ll bring your kitchen maids back to my residence for two days.
I’ll get soone to send a few more to your place later.” “No, no.” Liu Dahei hurriedly waved his hand and said, “It’s their blessing to serve Your Highness.
Just take them with you.
You can send them back to later when you no longer need them.
As for the new kitchen maids, there’s no need for that.
There are others who can work the stove.
Don’t worry.” Qi Haoran nodded and stood up.
“Then I’ll take my leave first.” Liu Dahei hurriedly sent him out while asking the kitchen maids to pack up and follow Qi Haoran.
Qi Haoran ca empty-handed.
But when he left, he brought three kitchen maids with him.
Seeing that they had walked far away, Liu Dahei wiped the sweat off his forehead and sighed.
“His Highness is really devoted to Her Highness.
To think he actually ca personally.” Most importantly, he actually asked Jinhua about those everyday stuff in such detail.
Liu Dahei even suspected that the Prince usually served the Princess Consort personally.
He felt that he doted on his wife enough, but even then he had no idea what she ate in the morning, afternoon, and night, let alone ask her about all those details.
Liu Dahei sighed.
When he went back, he saw Jinhua pouting and muttering, “The Han people are really pampered.” Liu Dahei explained, “Her Highness’s situation is special.
I heard that His Highness has been frantically looking for doctors recently.
Shouldn’t he be anxious that his pregnant wife can’t eat a single thing?” “I didn’t have these problems when I was pregnant.” Liu Dahei said with a smile, “Everyone is different.
I heard that Her Highness didn’t feel so unwell when she was pregnant with the Little Heir back then.
However, it’s indeed too hot in Lingnan this year considering it’s only May.
I really wanted to take off my clothes when I’m outside these days.” When Qi Haoran brought the kitchen maids back to the residence, it was already dark.
He didn’t even let them rest and imdiately got soone to bring them to the kitchen to prepare so light and appetizing dishes.
After washing up, Qi Haoran hurriedly rushed to the dining room.
Mu Yangling was watching Little Bear eat happily.
Every ti she saw Little Bear eating happily, Mu Yangling would eat a little more, so she was working up an appetite by watching her son eat.
