Although she has a peace amulet for protection and a fertility pill, allowing her to conceive smoothly without being harmed by others, it’s always wise to be cautious.
In her mother’s heart, she was still an innocent little girl who knew nothing of the world, but after experiencing her past life, she was no longer that. She had been a crown princess and had also experienced suffering.
“Bring in some more hot water.” Xu Lingyi called out.
In this life, her face, figure, and skin are very different from those in her past life.
The night before, she had many marks on her body, but today, although those purplish marks were still there, they had faded considerably.
The pain and soreness in her body had also been greatly reduced, indicating that her body’s recovery ability was much better than before.
Actually, according to Xu Lingyi’s wishes, she would prefer to get pregnant as soon as she entered the palace.
But that won’t do; she wants to make the child legitimate.
The Emperor’s harem has been childless for so many years. If she becomes pregnant as soon as she enters the palace, others might secretly think that the child is illegitimate.
Xu Lingyi certainly wouldn’t let that happen.
So she needs to take some time off.
***
Xu Lingyi originally thought that her mother would be angry for a long time, but Mrs. Xu returned to normal the next day.
Mrs. Xu accepted the facts and understood that the most important thing at this time was to prepare for her daughter and that there was no need for any more accusations.
No matter how confused Xu Lingyi is, she is still her daughter. As a mother, she can only do her best to make her life better in the future.
“Yi’er”.
Mrs. Xu called Xu Lingyi into the room.
“Mother.” Xu Lingyi felt a pang of sadness.
She is the one who has worried her mother.
“This 10,000 taels of silver was originally the dowry money I prepared for you, but now that you are going to enter the palace, your sisters-in-law and I have pooled together another 10,000 for you. You must keep it safe. People say that money can make the devil turn the millstone, and that is true. There is also some loose silver, so take that too.”
“Once you enter the palace, you can’t do without money. You have to make arrangements. You can’t be too generous, but you absolutely can’t be stingy either.”
“You don’t need to worry about money. If you run out of money, just ask someone to let us know. It’s always harder for you in the palace than for us outside. We’ll prepare anything you need.”
Mrs. Xu stroked her head.
When she was born, she was happy to finally have a daughter, but she was also worried, as the world was unfair to women. She wondered if giving birth to her was a good thing or a bad thing for her.
But at that time, she quickly made up her mind that even if she gave birth to a daughter, she would do her best to let her daughter be a carefree and happy girl.
As it turns out, man proposes, but God disposes.
“Actually, Mother has thought it through carefully; entering the palace is not without its benefits. At the very least, you won’t become pregnant. Some women give birth to child after child—the lucky ones face no life-threatening risks, while the unfortunate ones deplete their bodies through repeated childbirth, and some even die from difficult labor.”
“And their husbands would soon marry new women.”
“At least my daughter won’t have to go through these things. As for when you get old, don’t worry. Your nephews and nieces will be your support in the future. As long as the Xu family is still around, my daughter won’t be too bad off. So no matter where you are or who you marry, it won’t make much difference.”
Xu Lingyi knew that these were words of self-comfort, and also words of comfort to her.
Xu Lingyi hugged Mrs. Xu, saying, “The luckiest thing in my life is being your daughter.”
