It is impossible to find a yard without flowers and plants in Rongjun Prince's Mansion, so the flowers and plants in the yard can only be emptied.

It took Mu Yangling two days to vacate a yard and ventilate the room to make it cool, and then let Xiao Xia live in. The symptoms of morning sickness were relieved, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Imperial Physician Wang said with a smile: "Madam, it seems that Madam really felt nauseated after smelling something. It's just right to live in this courtyard."

Can it be okay, the outside is bare, except for the two big trees in the yard that cannot be moved, all the flowers and plants have been dug away, and now there is no smell in the yard except a faint smell of soil.

"Then she can't stay here all the time, it's better to find out what smell caused her morning sickness."

Physician Wang stroked his beard and nodded, and said: "The lower officials will try their best to find it. Don't worry, the princess, the situation should get better after three months of pregnancy."

Just like Wang Taiyi said, Xiao Xia vomited dizzily at first, but after three months, her condition gradually improved. Within a month, her face became rosy, and her stomach was slightly protruding. Xiao An vomited every day. Pointing to her belly and the tiger-headed lion cub to show off, "I also have a brother."

Xiaoxia shone with maternal tenderness, grabbed the three children and asked, "Do you think this is a younger brother or a younger sister?"

Grandma Xia hurriedly came in from the outside, interrupted them and said: "Madam, the Duke has sent the second steward to deliver the letter, and also sent back a lot of things, do you want to go and see?"

Fan Zijin had just left the city when Xiao Xia was pregnant, so he knew about it that night. At that time, he only asked the guard who delivered the letter to send back a few words, which was nothing more than asking her to take good care of the baby and call Mu Yangling if there was anything to do.

He also sent a message to Qi Haoran, asking him to take care of his wife and children more, and then he took up the post in style.

Now more than two months have passed, and finally there is a letter back, of course Xiao Xia wants to meet the second steward in person.

Xiao Xia asked his servants to take the three children out to play, and helped Aunt Xia to the flower hall.

The second steward was waiting in the flower hall, when she saw Mrs. Xiao Xia come in, she got up and saluted, and presented the letter in her arms. After Mrs. Xia read the letter, she said: "The Duke said that Madam is not in good health, and it is not suitable to travel long distances at this time, so let me You need to spend more time, and wait until five months before leaving. Fortunately, Guangdong is not very far from the capital. Take your time, and it will be here in about twenty days. Settling down, you don't need to worry about it."

The second steward paused for a moment and then said: "The young one brought some seafood back this time. The Duke said that his wife should consider sending some to each family. The prince and concubine don't need to keep it here. The Duke has another copy for you." them."

Xiao Xia nodded in response, seeing that the second steward was hesitating, she asked softly: "Does the Duke have any other orders?"

The second steward said in a low voice: "Before the little one leaves the door, the Duke said to the young one again, before the madam leaves, ask the old lady if she would like to go to Guangdong with you. The prince will send her there together."

Thinking of the numb Xia Shi, Xiao Xia couldn't help but feel sore, nodded and said: "I know about this, please rest assured the Duke, I will try my best to convince my mother."

The second steward breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and stepped back.

The relationship between the old lady and the Duke of the country is strange. Normally they are mother and son, they should be the closest, but they were like enemies before, but now they are softer, but the Duke of the country often doesn’t care about the old lady’s affairs. In the capital, except for the first and fifteenth day of every month, I hardly go to see the old lady. Now that I can relax and pick up the old lady, it is probably because the lady is pregnant. The Duke is soft-hearted, right?

The second steward was taken down to rest by the servants of the palace, and he had to see the prince at night, so he didn't go back to the palace.

At this time, Mu Yangling was meeting the steward of the bookstore in the flower hall next to the courtyard, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "You mean someone bribed the workers to secretly learn the craft of movable type printing?"

The steward answered "Yes" with a blushing face, "But the worker was loyal and agreed to them, but turned around and reported the matter to the younger one."

Mu Yangling nodded secretly, and praised: "That's right, that worker is smart. Look back and see how he was promoted. Who bought him off?"

The steward lowered his head deeply, and said in a low voice, "It's the No. 1 steward of the Imperial Bookstore."

Mu Yangling sneered, "Is it because I dare not confront the imperial court? Go directly to the Wucheng Bingma Division and have him arrested, saying that he stole our bookstore's secrets."

"Your Majesty, after all, they are from the imperial court..."

"When I was in Beidi, I showed the emperor Lin Ke the first time he made movable type printing. At that time, the emperor didn't like this craft. Maybe he stole it from his sister-in-law after a few years. Is the bookstore on the books? Are they planning to trap the emperor for injustice, or are they looking at the court in disguise, so I won’t dare to make a fuss?" Mu Yangling snorted coldly, "I have never hidden this craft. The land is not a secret, if they want to learn how to find it openly, what are they doing with these dirty tricks? You just report it to the officials, and the rest will be handled by the imperial court."

The manager of the bookstore didn't expect the princess to be so strong, she would not touch the sand at all. Although she was afraid of making things worse, she still bowed her head and agreed. Just as she was thinking about how to analyze the situation with Mu Yangling, she heard her say: "Our bookstore The price is slightly lower than other bookstores, but the income is more. This is due to our low cost. At this time, I am afraid that many people will pay attention to our bookstore. The books sold in the past are similar, and those old bookstores have rich The cost of Tibetan editions is not high, and the printing volume is far higher than ours, so our bookstore does not show it, and those people naturally don’t think movable type printing is so good, but now we have new books, even if it is an old bookstore. It was also affected."

Seeing that Wang Hao understood, the steward breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said: "The small one thinks the same way. Although our bookstore has many branches, after all, it has only been in operation for a short time and its power is limited. If other bookstores unite, I'm afraid our bookstore will not be able to handle it."

The Wangfu may not care about the bookstore's profits, but he is in charge of the bookstore, and he can only be good when the bookstore is well established, so he manages the bookstore as his life, so naturally he can't just watch the bookstore make enemies at this time.

Mu Yangling sneered and said, "They thought I would hide this skill? If it spreads out, we will sell movable type printing for five hundred taels, and sign a contract. If someone spreads it privately, we will see you at the Yamen."

"Your Majesty," the steward exclaimed, "then our bookstore will lose its advantage."

"Our palace has a lot of money, not to mention we left a few years earlier than them, how could we have no advantage at all? This skill belongs to Lin Ke. Later, you will send all the money you received to Zhu Liang to me. , let Zhu Liang send it to Lin Ke in the Northland."
