Chapter 1333 -1330: Nourishing the Body
Chun Xing hurriedly rose and whispered softly, “Lady, this servant will go immediately.”
There was a small kitchen in the courtyard, the water was boiling, but there was no food ready.
Su Mei also responded promptly and quickly left the room. She fetched some water, carefully wiping Ye Muyu’s body.
Chun Xing dashed swiftly, reaching the main kitchen in no time, ignoring greetings from other servants she passed by.

Once inside the kitchen, Chun Xing went straight to Madam Hu, “Aunty Hu, quick, please prepare some red date, coix seed, and goji berry porridge for the lady. And if there’s anything already cooked, I’ll take it to the lady first.”
Madam Hu had learned just an hour ago that the lady had woken up. Overjoyed, she had thanked the heavens, and upon hearing this request, she said, “Doctor Lu already mentioned earlier that the lady has lost a lot of blood and needs to be nourished. I have already prepared the red date, coix seed, and goji berry porridge, it’s ready to be served.”
“There is also fish soup, but since the lady has just given birth, we cannot use salt or oil, so we’ve only made plain boiled cabbage and stewed pig’s trotters soup.”
“Chun Xing, I’ll come with you to see the lady,” said Madam Hu.
Chun Xing quickly waved her hands, “Aunty Hu, there’s no need, I can manage. Please send up a serving of these dishes; not too much, just a variety of them will do.”
Madam Hu was a bit puzzled by her refusal, but it wasn’t the time to ask too many questions and cause delays. She rapidly filled a small bowl with each dish beneficial to a postpartum woman and placed them in a food box.
Carrying the food box, Chun Xing returned to the courtyard just as Su Mei had finished wiping down Ye Muyu. Seeing her return with the food, Su Mei quickly helped to set up a table beside her, laying out all the dishes.
Ye Muyu originally intended to get out of bed to eat.
But as soon as she moved, she felt Chu Heng’s tight grasp around her waist and sensed his anxiety.
Ye Muyu immediately dared not move, still afraid to wake him.
After six days and nights without sleep, she wished nothing more than for him to rest more. So, she had no choice but to eat sitting on the bed. Although it was a bit luxurious, thankfully not many people saw her, Ye Muyu thought to herself.
Glancing at the dishes, they were all excellent for nourishing the body.
But since they contained no salt or oil, their taste was quite plain. Nevertheless, she ate without hesitation, knowing her body was already weak and neglecting nutrition would truly lead to suffering.
Of course, she drank the porridge the most, as it was sweetened with brown sugar, much tastier than the flavorless soup. The pork trotters were stewed until tender and the texture was pleasant; aside from the bland taste, it was bearable.
As for the nourishing ingredients like fish maw, donkey-hide gelatin, bird’s nest, and others, she had some of each until she felt quite full before gesturing that she didn’t need any more.
She was now starting to nourish her body, and as for getting chubby after confinement, she could always focus on healthy weight loss afterwards.
“Bring me the account books to review, and help me wipe my hair as well,” said Ye Muyu.
Su Mei was always thorough. She personally wiped Ye Muyu’s hair, while Chun Xing brought over the account books.
In the capital, her assets weren’t substantial, just the rouge shop, bookstore, and the manor.
The rouge shop provided a fixed income every month, but she still needed to check it to prevent any financial disputes with the Emperor, so reviewing the account book was essential.
Moreover, there were also updates from other rouge shops in different places, which sent their account books every six months.
After going through the rouge shop’s account book.
Ye Muyu then cheerfully examined the manor’s harvest.
This year, the manor had made a Hundred Taels of Silver just from selling watermelons, and beyond that.
