The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1719 The Pouch on the Windowsill

He Ye's belly was fertile, and Cheng Feng was even more fertile than anyone else. He had become quite arrogant in front of Yu Hua recently. Just last month, he was avoiding Yu Hua, but now he was praising his niece and belittling Chen Qingsheng. "Yu Hua, what did I say back then? It's your mistress's good fortune to be able to marry my niece. If it weren't for my He Ye being disobedient and insisting on marrying your mistress, your mistress would probably be a bachelor somewhere right now. Your Chen family line will have a place to go."

"Cheng Feng, what are you so smug about? It's all because of your interference! If you hadn't secretly colluded with those matchmakers, my Qing Sheng would still have gotten married! I won't argue with you here!"

“Yuhua, what else do you have to argue about? It’s all right here. Look at my niece, she’s beautiful and virtuous. In every way, her manners and speech are a match for your sickly mistress. Let’s not talk about anything else, but hasn’t my niece kept the Chen family line going?”

"That's true. Your brother Chen was so happy that he burned paper money to tell my parents-in-law that we have a grandson. He hopes that they can be happy in heaven too."

Cheng Feng was a little puzzled, "You can tell it's a boy already?"

Yu Hua said matter-of-factly, "We consulted three doctors, and they all said it's a boy. Cheng Feng, you're familiar with the Imperial Advisor, why don't you ask the Imperial Advisor Huang Chenming to take a look? He's known for his prophetic abilities and is more trustworthy!"

Cheng Feng said, "There's no need for that. Let nature take its course. The most important thing is to let He Ye have more children for your Chen family. The gender of the first child doesn't matter much. Yu Hua, my niece is sensible. Don't keep talking about boys. It's just making my niece anxious!"

Yu Hua slapped her mouth. "Cheng Feng, you're right. I won't mention baby boys anymore. But I really hope she has a few more, so our Chen family will have a successor."

"Yu Hua, stop nagging. My niece is obedient; she remembers everything you say after just one time!" What Cheng Feng wanted to say was that Yu Hua should stop talking about having children and carrying on the family line whenever she sees He Ye. Does she do nothing but stay at home having children and playing around?

But Yu Hua couldn't understand the meaning behind Cheng Feng's words at all. She pointed at He Ye and said, "Cheng Feng, you always complain that I'm a nag. Do you think I can get by without nagging? Look how thin He Ye is. She doesn't eat much at each meal. No matter how I try to persuade her, she won't listen."

Everyone looked at He Ye. Although He Ye frequently went to the Prince's Mansion, Cheng Feng and Shang Xi could still tell that He Ye had gained a lot of weight.

Cheng Feng said, "He Ye isn't thin at all; her little face has gotten rounder. Your Chen family has taken good care of her. She looks plumper than when she was in my Prince's Mansion."

Shang Xi also said, "He Ye isn't thin. You can't even see her belly yet. She's gained all the weight on herself. Don't overdo it with supplements."

Lotus Leaf immediately chimed in, "Auntie, that's what I said too, but my sister-in-law just doesn't agree and insists on forcing me to eat meat! I have nausea and feel nauseous when I eat meat."

"Morning sickness is very difficult, but you can't be picky about food for the sake of the baby's balanced nutrition. The imperial physician will come to take my father-in-law's pulse tomorrow morning. You should come over then and ask the imperial physician to prescribe some nourishing medicinal meals for you."

"Auntie, isn't this inappropriate? I'm just a commoner, so I shouldn't trouble myself with the imperial physician."

"What's appropriate or inappropriate about it? It's all because of your uncle's words that he's making a fuss."

Cheng Feng said, "I'll listen to your aunt. Come early tomorrow."

At this moment, He Bao suddenly appeared out of nowhere and immediately questioned Cheng Feng: "Uncle, you can get the imperial physician to treat my sister, so why can't you get the imperial physician to treat my mother?"

"No, where did you come from, sneaking around like that? Were you eavesdropping on us under the window again?" Cheng Feng looked down on He Bao even more.

"I wasn't eavesdropping, I just happened to be passing by and overheard it!"

"Where did you come from and where are you going to pass by my window? He Bao, you're not a little kid anymore. You're not allowed to eavesdrop by the window anymore. It will ruin your reputation if word gets out. Make sure your mother uses those medicines from the Imperial Hospital. They will be very beneficial to her. Forget about the imperial physicians, and tell your mother to forget about them too. I can find a way to make any other requests."

Upon hearing that she could make a request, He Bao shamelessly said, "Uncle, didn't my sister He Ye get married? Can I move into the little courtyard that she left behind?"

"Is your home too small for you? Or do you not want to take care of your mother anymore? Hebao, your mother's illness is so serious, it's her own fault, but you're also partly to blame. You should stay home and take good care of your mother before you get married. Your mother's health doesn't indicate a long life. You should stay at home obediently and not think about moving to my Prince's Mansion. You're your mother's precious treasure. The Prince's Mansion has many rules, and if you suffer any grievances, your mother and I won't be able to explain it. If you have any other matters, you can talk to your uncle!"

"Uncle, I'm sixteen now, it's time to find a husband, but my parents won't arrange anything for me!" All He Bao thinks about every day is escaping her home as soon as possible. She hates the smell of her mother's excrement and is too lazy to serve her mother. She wants to marry into a good family and enjoy a life of happiness, preferably with two wives.

Cheng Feng wouldn't interfere in her older brother's family affairs. He comforted He Bao, "That's because they don't want you to get married. Since they want to stay a few more years, you should stay by your parents' side and do your best to be filial!"

"No, that's not it! I don't want to stay at home anymore, I want to find a husband!"

"Marriage is a major life event, and it is arranged by parents and matchmakers. Even if you want to find a husband, you can't talk about it, or people will laugh at you. Since you want to get married, go back and tell your parents, and they will naturally find you a husband."

"Uncle, my father doesn't care about the family. All he does all day is walk his bird. My mother is even worse. She only knows how to order me around, making me pour tea and serve meals at her bedside, and clean up her excrement. If I don't take care of things myself, they won't take care of me!"

Cheng Feng was also in a dilemma after hearing this. He couldn't remain indifferent, after all, this was his elder brother's child. "He Bao, do you have someone you like?"

"That's not true!"

"So you've got your eye on someone!"

Lotus buds nodded.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Feng thought that the matter should not be difficult to handle. "Then tell me. If the families are well-matched, your uncle will come to your door tomorrow to propose marriage."

"Uncle, I want to go to the palace."

"Enter the palace?" Cheng Feng's tone completely changed. "You want to enter the palace?"

Lotus bud nodded again.

"He Bao, what are you thinking? Do you want to be a maid or an imperial concubine when you enter the palace?"

"Uncle, why are you belittling me like that? Of course I want to be the emperor's woman!"

Cheng Feng wiped his face helplessly, "The last one who wanted to enter the palace as a concubine was Han Muran!"

"Does Uncle think I'm inferior to Han Muran?"

The lotus bud had absolutely no self-awareness! Cheng Feng couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
