A fairy from various TV dramas and movies travels through time, starting with Consort Fucha.

Chapter 106 Consort Fucha's Arrangements

Not long after, Zhou Ninghai limped in. Nian Shilan opened her eyes and looked at Zhou Ninghai.

"What is it now?"

Zhou Ninghai dared not look up. "Your Majesty, this servant heard that Consort Jing, Consort Jin, and Consort Xin have all gone to Yanxi Palace."

Nian Shilan sat up abruptly.

"Hey, why aren't they staying in their palaces hiding with such big bellies?"

What are we going to Yanxi Palace for?

And what are you saying behind my back? No way, I'm going too.

Go, summon Songzhi to me, and quickly have someone help me with my makeup.

"Prepare the sedan chair; I am also going to Yanxi Palace."

Zhou Ninghai hurriedly went to prepare the sedan chair, and a young palace maid went to Songzhi's room to call for help.

Songzhi rushed over and carefully dressed Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan boarded a sedan chair and hurried towards Yanxi Palace.

At Yanxi Palace, Fucha Peiyun and Ye'er were still discussing what to bring when they went to the Yuanmingyuan to escape the summer heat.

Then an announcement was made that Consort Jing had arrived.

Fucha Peiyun worried that something might happen to Consort Jing, who was heavily pregnant, coming in such hot weather.

He quickly put down what he was doing and came out to greet them.

"Sister, why did you come today? You're feeling unwell, and the weather is so hot."

"If you have anything to say, just send someone to tell me, and I'll come to your palace."

Feng Ruozhao smiled and grasped Fucha Peiyun's hand.

"Don't worry, sister, I'm fine. I wouldn't come here unless I needed something."

Fucha Peiyun held Feng Ruozhao's hand and said, "Come on, sister, let's go inside and talk."

As soon as the two entered the hall, Feng Ruozhao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why does it feel so much cooler in my sister's palace?"

Fucha Peiyun smiled and said, "I suppose you just came in from outside and that's why you had this misconception."

Sister, what brings you here today?

Feng Ruozhao took the water Ye'er brought and sipped it to moisten her lips.

"It's all about going to the Yuanmingyuan. The Imperial Noble Consort sent Songzhi to ask me if I wanted to go to the Yuanmingyuan."

My sister knows about my situation; I've become especially sensitive to heat since I got pregnant.

But if I go to the Old Summer Palace, I'm afraid something might happen on the way.

Fucha Peiyun immediately understood Feng Ruozhao's meaning and looked at Ye'er.

"Ye'er, go to the Imperial Hospital and invite Physician Wen over."

Ye'er accepted the order and left, quickly arranging for a young eunuch to go to the Imperial Hospital to fetch someone.

Fucha Peiyun: "Sister, wait a moment, let Physician Wen take your pulse first."

"How is the baby in your womb?"

Feng Ruozhao suddenly realized, "I really didn't think of these things."

Fucha Peiyun: "Sister, you're just worried. Actually, as long as you're healthy..."

There's nothing wrong with going to the Old Summer Palace, and besides, the roads around Beijing have already been renovated since cement was installed.

Things have calmed down considerably. We'll bring several imperial physicians with us then, and prepare soft embankments on the carriage.

I don't think anything will happen.

Feng Ruozhao breathed a sigh of relief. "My sister is right. That puts my mind at ease."

Only then did she notice that Hongchang was not there. "Sister, is the Sixth Prince asleep?"

Fucha Peiyun: "I was busy packing my things just now and didn't have time to look after Hongchang."

So the wet nurse took him to play in the side hall first.

"Ye'er, go and bring Hongchang here."

Upon hearing this, Ye'er responded and hurriedly walked towards the side hall.

Not long after, Ye'er walked back quickly, followed closely by her wet nurse.

The wet nurse carefully cradled Hongchang in her arms and slowly approached the crowd.

At that moment, Hongchang was happily nibbling on his little finger.

A pair of big, round eyes looked around curiously.

When he saw Fucha Peiyun, he quickly pulled his little hand out of his mouth.

And it eagerly stretched out its two chubby arms.

She was making babbling noises, clearly wanting Fucha Peiyun to hug her.

Upon seeing this, Fucha Peiyun immediately broke into a gentle smile.

She quickly reached out and took Hongchang from the wet nurse's arms, gently pinching his rosy little round face.

Fucha Peiyun's affectionate teasing made Hongchang giggle with delight.

Feng Ruozhao looked at Hongchang with a loving expression.

She couldn't help but exclaim again, "Our Hongchang is getting more and more lovable as he grows up!"

Look at her, everyone loves her!

Fucha Peiyun said, "Children are most fun at this age; once they grow up, they just become annoying and bothersome."

Feng Ruozhao said, "Our Prince Hongchang is so well-behaved; he'll only become more lovable as he grows up."

After the two played with the child for a while

Not long after, Wen Shichu arrived.

He first respectfully bowed to Fucha Peiyun and the others.

Fucha Peiyun: "Imperial Physician Wen, you may dispense with the formalities. I invited you here today."

I need you to help Consort Jing take a pulse to check her health.

"Let's see how her pregnancy is going, and whether she can go to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat."

Wen Shichu replied, "Your humble servant understands."

Wen Shichu began to take Feng Ruozhao's pulse.

At first, Feng Ruozhao was a little nervous, but Wen Shichu quickly told her to relax.

After a moment, Physician Wen slowly released his grip, a slight smile playing on his lips as he said:

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Judging from this pulse, the fetus is fine and the pulse is steady and strong."

As long as you are careful on the road, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Upon hearing this, Feng Ruozhao's tense expression instantly relaxed, and her face beamed with joy.

Just then, a sudden burst of noise from outside broke the brief tranquility inside the room.

Everyone looked puzzled and turned to look at the doorway.

At this moment, Ye'ertong reported: "Your Majesty, Consort Jin has arrived!"

Fucha Peiyun's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately guessed that Cao Qinmo's purpose in coming here was probably the same as Feng Ruozhao's.

So she quickly gestured to Wen Shichu not to leave yet.

Sure enough, a short while later, Cao Qinmo, heavily pregnant, reached out and touched her sleeve.

He slowly walked in.

Fucha Peiyun did not allow Cao Qinmo to bow.

Cao Qinmo, holding Yinxiu's hand, sat down on the other side of Fucha Peiyun.

Cao Qinmo smiled and said, "It seems that I have the same idea as Consort Jing again today."

After a pause, Cao Qinmo continued, "Judging from how relaxed you are, you must have made up your mind."

Feng Ruozhao smiled and said, "Yes, Consort Shu is so thoughtful."

She specially invited Physician Wen to take my pulse.

After taking my pulse, Physician Wen said that given my current physical condition...

As long as you are careful on your way to the Old Summer Palace, there should be no major problems.

Upon hearing this, Fucha Peiyun nodded slightly and said:

"It just so happens that Physician Wen hasn't left yet, let him take my sister's pulse as well."

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Wen Shichu, who was not far away.

Cao Qinmo quickly replied, "Yes, Your Highness, I thank you for your kindness."

Wen Shichu quickly stepped forward to take Cao Qinmo's pulse again.

After a moment, Wen Shichu said, "Consort Jin has taken good care of herself during this pregnancy."

"Be careful on your way to the Old Summer Palace."

Cao Qinmo said, "Thank you very much, Physician Wen."

Fucha Peiyun said, "I think Imperial Physician Wen doesn't need to rush off. I think Consort Xin will be here soon."

Upon hearing this, Wen Shichu quickly and quietly sat down to one side, lowering his eyes and not daring to look around.

The group started teasing Hongchang again, and Cao Qinmo picked up a rattle drum to attract Hongchang's attention.

Hongchang heard the sound and glanced at the rattle drum in Cao Qinmo's hand.

Then she turned her head and started playing with Fucha Peiyun's fingers again.

Feng Ruozhao joked, "It seems that our Hongchang only recognizes Sister Fucha."

Everyone laughed.

Fucha Peiyun said, "He's just tired of playing with that rattle."

Cao Qinmo: "I see."

Feng Ruozhao held a brightly colored doll with several small bells on it, teasing Hongchang.

The ringing sound immediately drew Hongchang's attention.

This doll was exactly Hongchang's favorite, and Hongchang immediately looked at Feng Ruozhao.

Seeing the doll in Feng Ruozhao's hand, he reached out to take it.

Just then, Ye'er came in to announce, "Consort Xin has arrived."

Everyone looked up and, sure enough, it was Lü Yingfeng, who was also heavily pregnant.

Lü Yingfeng slowly walked in, supported by Chanjuan's hand, and said with a smile:

"Consort Jing, Consort Cao, you came to Yanxi Palace without inviting me."

Feng Ruozhao said embarrassedly, "I forgot for a moment."

Cao Qinmo: "My sister is here now."

Fucha Peiyun hurriedly said, "Sister Xinpin, please sit down and rest for a while."

After Lü Yingfeng sat down, her eyes fell on Wen Shichu, and she asked:

"Imperial Physician Wen is here too? Are any of you ladies feeling unwell?"

Feng Ruozhao explained, "We were just discussing going to the Yuanmingyuan Garden to escape the summer heat."

"Physician Wen, please take our pulses and see if it's suitable for us to travel."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yingfeng gently stroked her belly and said, "What a coincidence, I came here for the same reason."

Fucha Peiyun said, "That's perfect. Physician Wen is here. Sister, please let him take your pulse as well."

Wen Shichu stepped forward to take Lü Yingfeng's pulse as instructed, and then said that Lü Yingfeng's pregnancy was very stable and she could travel.

As everyone was talking, another commotion broke out outside, and they immediately heard Nian Shilan's voice.

Soon, Nian Shilan rushed in.

Just as the group was about to bow, Nian Shilan said directly, "No need for formalities. What are you all discussing behind my back?"

Nian Shilan immediately noticed Wen Shichu, who was standing respectfully.

"What's Wen Shichu doing here? Is anyone here with an upset stomach? Are you alright?"

Cao Qinmo replied with a smile, "Your Highness, we were just discussing going to the Yuanmingyuan Garden to escape the summer heat."

Imperial Physician Wen was invited by Consort Shu to take our pulses.

"Let's see if we pregnant women can go to the Old Summer Palace this time."

Nian Shilan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wen Shichu:

"Imperial Physician Wen, please tell me, how are they?"

Wen Shichu respectfully replied, "Your Highness, all the ladies' pregnancies are stable."

As long as you are careful on the road, visiting the Old Summer Palace is fine.

Nian Shilan nodded in satisfaction: "In that case, the list of personnel going to Yuanmingyuan this time is finalized."

I will promptly report this list to His Majesty.

You guys also need to hurry up and start preparing what you need.

Once the Emperor has finalized the departure date, we can immediately set off for the Yuanmingyuan!

Upon hearing this, Cao Qinmo and the others quickly replied, "Yes, Your Highness, Imperial Noble Consort."

Immediately afterwards, Nian Shilan's gaze slowly swept over the protruding bellies of Feng Ruozhao and the others.

A hint of concern flashed in her eyes: "You all must take good care of the babies in your bellies."

If there is even the slightest mistake, and something unexpected happens, the Emperor will blame you.

I'm afraid none of those present could bear this responsibility.

You must not let your negligence implicate me.

No one dared to be negligent, and they all responded in unison once again:

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will be extremely careful and will not dare to slack off in the slightest."

Nian Shilan nodded slightly, her gaze falling once more on Wen Shichu, and said in a deep voice:

"Since Physician Wen is here, I will not have to summon you again."

Now that you are the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, you need to make proper arrangements for the accompanying imperial physicians when you go to the Yuanmingyuan Garden for summer retreat.

This time, the Yuanmingyuan had quite a few masters.

Consort Jing, Consort Jin, Consort Xin, Consort Fang, Noble Lady Chun, and Consort Lian, among others, were all pregnant women.

In addition, Princess Shuhe, Princess Wenyi, and the Third Prince and Sixth Prince also accompanied them.

This journey is long and fraught with uncertainty, so please take good care of yourself.

Make sure to arrange for a sufficient number of imperial physicians to accompany them and take good care of each of them.

Upon hearing this, Wen Shichu quickly and respectfully bowed and replied:

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, your humble servant will do his utmost to properly arrange all matters."

However, this trip involved a large number of people.

Moreover, these pregnant women and their young masters all require extra care, which makes me somewhat worried.

Especially regarding medicinal herbs, I fear that our current reserves are insufficient to cope with any possible situations.

Therefore, I humbly request Your Majesty's guidance: Is it necessary to prepare some additional commonly used medicinal herbs in advance?

And those rare medicinal herbs that can deal with emergencies?

In this way, even if unexpected situations arise along the way,

We can also be prepared to ensure the safety and well-being of our masters.

Nian Shilan said, "You should list out all the medicinal herbs needed and give them to me."

"I will arrange for the Imperial Household Department to make the purchase."

Upon hearing this, Wen Shichu dared not delay in the slightest and quickly took out paper and pen from his medicine box.

He carefully spread out the paper, then picked up the ink stick and began grinding it quickly.

He quickly made the list.

After Wen Shichu finished writing, he gently blew on the still-wet ink on the paper.

Then he presented it to Nian Shilan with both hands.

Nian Shilan reached out and took the list, examining it carefully.

After reviewing the list, Nian Shilan nodded in satisfaction, then handed it to Songzhi beside her and instructed her:

"You must keep this list safe. You will need to personally deliver it to the Imperial Household Department later."

Make sure they are instructed to purchase all these medicinal herbs as soon as possible.

Songzhi responded respectfully and carefully put the list into her bosom.

Then, Nian Shilan looked at Wen Shichu again and said slowly:

"I will have the Imperial Household Department procure all the necessary medicinal herbs, so you need not worry."

Upon hearing this, Wen Shichu quickly bowed and said:

"Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. If Your Majesty has no further instructions, then I shall take my leave."

Nian Shilan waved her hand, indicating that he could leave, and said calmly:

"Well, back off."

Wen Shichu quickly stepped down

Cao Qinmo knew that Nian Shilan actually really liked hearing compliments.

"Your Majesty is truly thoughtful; you've considered everything."

Nian Shilan said arrogantly, "I have been in charge of palace affairs for so long, how could such a small matter stump me?"

Everyone smiled slightly upon hearing this.

Nian Shilan walked a few steps to Fucha Peiyun and reached out her hand to Hongchang in her arms.

Hongchang recognized the person and did not resist.

Nian Shilan gently picked up Hongchang, smiling like a wolf in sheep's clothing, "Hongchang, it's been so many days, have you missed me?"

Hongchang giggles

Nian Shilan looked at Fucha Peiyun and asked, "How much longer until he speaks?"

Fucha Peiyun said, "In another two months, I should be able to say some simple words."
