Dr. Cao was a little surprised, obviously not expecting Xie Xun to be so sincerely concerned about Qin Rushuang's condition.
But since Xie Xun asked the question sincerely, he naturally wouldn't hide anything.
"In terms of food, ask the princess what she wants to eat. You don't have to wait until meal time to eat. As long as the princess is willing, let the kitchen prepare whatever she wants to eat at any time, and she can take a bite."
"A pregnant woman needs more care from her husband. The prince can spend more time with the princess. Even if he doesn't speak, he can just sit next to her. Of course, it would be best to chat with the princess and soothe her mood."
After Xie Xun listened, he was thoughtful.
He knew that the advice given by the imperial doctor should be followed, but thinking about Qin Rushuang's temper with him today, as well as some of the previous estrangements and misunderstandings between the two...
Xie Xun no longer adhered to the saying that family scandals should not be publicized, and said to the imperial doctor Cao: "The king and the princess had some misunderstandings before, and the princess is probably not very willing to talk to me now."
"Ahem, Your Majesty, I don't understand. Women are always duplicitous, especially the princess who has been strong since she was a child, so naturally she doesn't want to reveal her weak side. Your Majesty, you just need to try more."
Dr. Cao thought for a while and then said: "If the princess really resists contact with the prince, you can also use other things to divert the princess's attention. If the princess has some small hobbies, you don't have to restrain the princess, you can let her do it."
After Dr. Cao left, Xie Xun's mind flashed back to all the things he had done with Qin Rushuang since they got married.
Qin Rushuang's hobbies are more masculine. Apart from reading military books and practicing kung fu, she doesn't seem to have any female hobbies.
Oh, one more thing, when I watched Qin Rushuang prepare a rouge shop, she seemed to be very interested...
It seems it's time to help Qin Rushuang sort out the Du family property under her name...
But I want to communicate more with Qin Rushuang and show care. I have to try this one too...
At lunch time the next day, Xie Xun ordered the kitchen to prepare a lot of easy-to-digest food.
One small dish after another was put on the plate, and he was going to eat with Qin Rushuang himself.
Qin Rushuang was still a little lethargic and couldn't cheer up.
She didn't know if it was because she had been persuaded a lot in the past few days, but she became more and more disgusted with eating. When she saw someone coming in with a food plate, she subconsciously frowned.
But before he could send the servants out, he heard Xie Xun's voice.
"Today the King of Japan will dine with you."
Qin Rushuang felt uncomfortable and became picky when she spoke, "Won't the prince accompany the Yingying Yanyan in the mansion?"
Xie Xun said in a good temper: "You are talking nonsense again. When did this king have any Ying Ying Yan Yan? What is going on with those good concubines in the mansion, don't you still know?"
Qin Rushuang was indeed aroused by Xie Xun's words again: "Yes, that's right! I arranged those three concubines by myself. Why, is the prince coming to Qiu Hou to settle accounts now?"
Xie Xun shut up.
Now Qin Rushuang is losing his temper, and everything he says is wrong.
He simply picked up a bowl of rice porridge from the plate, took another spoonful, blew it to cool down, and then personally handed it to Qin Rushuang's mouth.
"Be good, take a sip."
Qin Rushuang wanted to complain again, but was blocked by the white porridge brought to her mouth.
She really didn't expect that Xie Xun's so-called "eating with her" would personally bring it to feed her.
She thought Xie Xun was just for show and wouldn't eat with her.
The porridge had already been put to her mouth, and it was fed by Xie Xun himself. Qin Rushuang couldn't refuse, so she reluctantly took a bite.
"tasty?"
Qin Rushuang's voice was strong, "It's just white porridge, what's so good about it? It doesn't taste good! I won't eat it!"
Xie Xun took another chopstick of green vegetables from the plate and brought it to her mouth, "Then try this to relieve your boredom."
"I told you it doesn't taste good..."
Xie Xun passed the chopsticks forward again: "You haven't tasted this yet? Try it first."
Qin Rushuang took another bite of green vegetables and still frowned: "It's not delicious."
She carefully observed Xie Xun's face. According to her understanding of Xie Xun, Xie Xun would not force her anymore after two times at most.
Unexpectedly, Xie Xun picked up a piece of crispy meat from another plate and handed it to her mouth: "You are not a vegetarian? Then try this meat."
Qin Rushuang raised her eyebrows and immediately started to think about competing.
Xie Xun is pretending very well this time, she wants to see how long Xie Xun can tolerate her this time!
So Qin Rushuang was angry, and every time Xie Xun fed her a mouthful of food, she said she wouldn't eat it because it didn't taste good, so Xie Xun changed it again without complaining.
Qingzhi on the side just stared at the princess who didn't want to eat, and tasted all the dishes on the plate.
There were more than ten or twenty kinds of dishes. After tasting each one, the princess was almost 70% full.
After Qin Rushuang tasted all the food, she finally realized what Xie Xun had planned.
Let her take a bite of everything so that she can feed herself!
Before she knew it, she seemed to have tasted all the dishes, and her stomach was almost full.
After finishing the last meal, Xie Xun showed a satisfied look and said, "It's so good."
Qin Rushuang's face turned blue and white.
Just now he said he didn’t want to eat, and now he tasted everything. Xie Xun is so cunning!
Xie Xun didn't care so much. Today's task was completed. Although Qin Rushuang seemed to be angry, she just had to eat.
As for how to feed tomorrow, let's talk about it tomorrow.
Thinking of this, he smiled in a good mood, and then ordered his servants to put away the remaining meals.
Only then did Qin Rushuang realize that although there were more than a dozen dishes brought in, there were only two or three bites of each dish on a small plate.
This was clearly planned!
Xie Xun really worked hard for this baby bump in her belly. Qin Rushuang thought bitterly.
She was about to have a seizure when Xie Xun suddenly changed the topic.
"I heard that the Rouge Shop's business has been very good recently. Didn't you send money to the old shopkeeper to learn the skills? How did you learn? If you have learned the skills well, then you should take care of all the industries under your hands.
Just stroke it out."
Qin Rushuang's thoughts were indeed drawn by Xie Xun's words.
Qin Rushuang has actually wanted to do this for a long time.
She had this idea before sending Qian Ertong to learn skills from the old shopkeeper.
It was only later that things in the palace came one after another, so it was shelved.
After finishing the business at the rouge shop, she lost her appetite and couldn't cheer up, so naturally she didn't continue the matter.
And she has another concern.
She is the daughter-in-law of the Tian family, and her appearance in the public eye has already attracted criticism.
Now that she has a child in her belly, if she makes any big move now, the failure to keep it safe will cause dissatisfaction from the emperor and the concubine, who feel that she is treating the child in her belly as child's play.
In Qin Rushuang's understanding, if she really wanted to sort out Du's property now, Xie Xun would definitely refuse.
So she didn't expect Xie Xun to take the initiative to mention this matter.
"I really want to, but what's the use of thinking? Isn't there still this baby bump in my stomach now?" Qin Rushuang said angrily.
"Then if I, as a guarantee to my father and mother, let you just go ahead and do it, what do you think?"
