Chapter 252 Don't Say Any More
In the evening, Li Jing returned home.

"What are you doing?" he asked softly, looking at his young wife who was drawing and writing under the lamp.

"Your Highness! You're back!" Mo Yi stood up happily and put down his pen.

"You're so happy to see me?" Li Jing walked over and found that his heart softened when he saw her.

I hugged Mo Yi from behind and looked at her scribbling on the table...

This feeling of satisfaction is something I've never experienced before in my life.

What are you drawing?

"A couple of days ago, I took Xiangxiang and Qianqian to Huaxiang Village and saw many novel flowers, plants and trees. I was thinking, should we renovate our garden? Your Highness, what do you think?"

"This is your business. You can make your own decision. You don't need to consult me." He held her and gently rocked her.

“But this…is our home, so your opinion is of course important. Whether to renovate or not, whether to do a major overhaul or a minor one, what style to choose, how much to spend…it’s all up to you to decide.”

"You're asking me for money, aren't you..." He hugged her tightly.

Mo Yi was squeezed and kept laughing.

"The money is only part of it. What matters is whether you're even interested! And what kind of result will it be? Don't waste all that effort only to end up worse off than you are now. Otherwise, you'll become a laughingstock."
Furthermore, don't underestimate the importance of tidying up just one garden. Once you start working on it, there's a lot more to it than meets the eye! Even if you have enough money and manpower, it will still take several months. With so many people living in the house, all that mud, water, and noise every day will definitely cause disruption.

Moreover, with so many outsiders coming to work, and the families consisting of women and children, their safety needs special consideration.

Now that I've said that, I'm starting to feel a bit apprehensive.

“All of this is easy to arrange. You just need to decide what you want it to look like. I’ll allocate the funds for you. Let Steward Zhao and Madam Feng handle the details. You just need to demonstrate on-site…” After saying that, he brought his nose close to the back of Mo Yi’s neck and took a deep breath.

So fragrant...

Mo Yi felt ticklish and giggled as she tried to avoid him, but she felt incredibly at ease inside.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness's mother has sent a maidservant."

"Huh?!" Mo Yi was startled, not knowing what had happened. "Quickly, let her in."

Li Jing released her, and Mo Yi straightened her clothes, which he had messed up.

Both of their faces were a little red.

Now, the maids in the room have become clever; as long as the prince is there and doesn't call for them, they will hide out.

It was Qiu Hong who arrived. It was her first time entering the Prince's Mansion, and she was very nervous. She kowtowed to Li Jing and Mo Yi as soon as she entered.

"Qiuhong, get up quickly. What's wrong with Mother?"

Qiu Hong didn't dare to look up at the prince. "Just now, Third Aunt sent Du Juan to deliver a letter saying that she's pregnant!"

"My sister is pregnant?" Mo Yi was both surprised and delighted.

"Yes, I just found out. I sent Dujuan home to tell her. Madam wants to go see her tomorrow. She wants you to go with her. I sent this servant to ask if you are free."

Mo Yi first looked at Li Jing, wondering if he had any other plans now that he was back.

Li Jing nodded to her.

"When I have time, I'll go home and pick up my mother so we can go together."

Qiu Hong nodded quickly in response, thinking to herself that Madam was afraid of being impolite if she went to the Xu family, so she brought the Princess along.

The maid gave Qiu Hong a tip, and Qiu Hong happily went home.

"That's wonderful!" Mo Yi was very happy for her sister.

Li Jing pressed on again, "Okay? Let's have one too..."

Mo Yi blushed and nestled in his arms, "I still need to prepare a gift for my sister."

Li Jing smiled and kissed her, then called out, "Hongyan, go to Consort Feng's place and tell her to prepare a generous gift."

Hongyan responded crisply from outside. "Your Highness, this..." Mo Yi thought of the household rules that Consort Feng had given her when she first entered the manor.

Logically speaking, my sister should have paid for these things herself. Even if the household were to cover the costs, it would only be a matter of adding a little more.

"Alright, alright, don't worry about that. Come on... let's have a baby too!" Li Jing pulled her into the bedroom.

When Hongyan arrived at Consort Feng's place, she briefly explained the matter and asked her to "prepare a generous gift," and specifically stated that it was ordered by the Prince himself.

Look at how arrogant this girl is!

Consort Feng secretly resented that she wasn't under Song Mama's command.
Moreover, the palace rules had already been given to the princess.

If Your Highness does this, what does the rule mean?
Her heart was pounding, but outwardly she nodded in agreement: "I'll send the gift list over in a bit. If there are no problems, everything will be ready first thing tomorrow morning!"

After bowing, the woman withdrew.

Consort Feng sat quietly for a while, then looked at the things she had finished doing... trying not to think about these messy things.

……

The next day, Mo Yi brought the gifts prepared by the manor. She looked at the gift list and realized that it was quite substantial, so she didn't need to add anything more.

The Xu family is different from the Mo family. This is a matter of reciprocity. If the gift is too heavy, it will be troublesome for the other party to return it in the future.

They loaded it onto the car and returned to the Mo family.

When Wang came out, she first looked into the car and saw the large and small boxes, which pleased her!

"Mother also prepared some things for Wenwen, take them with you!"

Then he directed the servants to load the load onto the cart.

Mo Yi took a look and saw that the gifts were neatly packaged and seemed to be quite varied.

It doesn't seem like something that was prepared hastily after learning the news yesterday.

Sigh, my mother treats my eldest sister better than my eldest brother and sister-in-law.

As she sat in the carriage, Madam Wang's eyes reddened with emotion. "Ever since your sister married into the family, I've been thinking about this constantly. Yi Yi, you have to understand: for a woman, everything else is secondary; ultimately, it's her son who supports her! Your sister is lucky to have married such a good man. But Xu Ke is too outstanding; it's normal for a young master from such a family to have other women around him. Just like the Prince..."

She glanced at Mo Yi, then looked a little embarrassed. "I mean, no matter who's around him, once he has a son, he's not afraid of anything! Your sister and you are on the same path."

Mo Yi listened silently without saying a word.

Ignoring her reaction, Madam Wang continued her rambling, "You lot are all quite healthy. You'll definitely be able to bear children easily! If she gives birth to a son! Tsk tsk... the old lady will definitely be happy and won't let her off the hook! Oh dear, I wonder if she's sent a message to her son-in-law yet? Xu Ke will be so happy when he finds out!"

She kept talking the whole way.

Riding in a luxury car, visiting his married and pregnant daughter at the grand mansion—what more could a husband ask for!
Upon arriving at the Xu family home, before even getting out of the car, Mo Yi said, "Mother, you've already said quite a bit on the way here. Now that we're at my sister's house, don't say anything more. In a family like the Xu's, every child is a treasure!"
Her sisters-in-law all have children of their own and don't rely on her having a son to maintain the family's prosperity. Therefore, peace and health are the most important things! Please don't put so much pressure on your sister!

Wang smiled awkwardly.

Granny Xu greeted them at the second gate, initially thinking it was Madam Wang.

One look at the car frame and you knew the princess was there too.

She quickly sent someone to relay a message, while she herself greeted the guests with a smile, "Oh, Your Majesty, may you be well! My dear in-laws! Please come in quickly. Please forgive me, Madam, for not knowing Your Majesty was coming."

Mo Yi smiled and said, "I couldn't sit still after hearing my sister's good news, so I came with Mother to see! There are some things for my sister in the carriage, so please have someone carry them out, Granny!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Granny Xu quickly gave the order.

Upon arriving at the main courtyard gate, the two Madam Xus were hurrying out to greet us.

Wang followed quietly behind Mo Yi the whole time.

"Your Majesty, are you well?" The two Madam Xus stepped forward to greet Mo Yi.

Seeing this, Wang was overjoyed...
