Chapter 896: Chapter 890 Preparing for Pregnancy

Gu Youyou giggled and nodded, saying, "Of course I do!"

Madam Lin was extremely excited and said, "Then quickly tell your cousin, how exactly can she conceive intelligent children?"

Gu Youyou replied, "There are so many conditions, all of which must be met, and I’m afraid you’ll find them troublesome."

"It’s not troublesome at all. Who would complain about trouble when it comes to having children?"

Gu Youyou glanced mysteriously at Lin Qianqing before saying to Madam Lin, "Originally, it’s not ideal for cousins with blood relations like this to have children, but since the Ducal Residence is a large family, and Qianqing is related to King Jin by several degrees of consanguinity, let’s not discuss that.

"However, age is very important. The optimal childbearing age for a woman should be at least above twenty, with a mature body capable of conceiving a superior child. It’s just like with trees— the fruit of a young tree is never as good as that of a mature tree, right?"

Madam Lin pursed her lips, indicating for her to continue.

She intended to ignore that point anyway.

"Next, if you want to have a good child, you should start preparing for pregnancy six months in advance. The days of the pregnancy must be carefully calculated, not to be taken lightly..."

Gu Youyou spouted a river of prenatal and eugenics theories, which Madam Lin had someone write down, and then had Long Luo take them back to supervise Lin Qianqing’s preparation for pregnancy.

With Lin Qianqing’s slow nature, even if she couldn’t bear the first child, having an intelligent child to eliminate the trash would be an accomplishment.

No matter what, this child would be legitimate, backed by the Lin Family, the Empress, and the Ducal Residence.

After the feast, Gu Youyou chatted with Lin Qianqing.

"You don’t seem to be having a good time, but it doesn’t look like heartbreak. What’s really going on?"

Lin Qianqing smiled and said, "What else? The more women in the house, the more trouble there is."

Long Luo, fanning the flames, added, "It’s the Princess herself who isn’t happy, showing her displeasure to the Prince. At first, the Prince consoled her, but after the Consort and favored concubines arrived, he grew tired of it. He would even say that the Princess was no longer as lively as when she was younger. Miss, please advise the Princess!"

"Silence," Lin Qianqing scolded Long Luo, saying, "No one asked for your input, leave."

With a pout, Long Luo bowed and left.

Gu Youyou watched the door and sighed, saying, "Long Luo was chosen for you by my aunt and has been with you since you were young; she has your best interests at heart. It sounds like the Prince initially liked you very much. You turned your nose up at him, and with his warm face against your cold backside, he naturally lost patience over time?"

Tears welled up in Lin Qianqing’s eyes as she suddenly said, "Cousin, I really wish I were like you, inflicted with some incurable disease, at death’s doorstep at any moment. Then, no one would force me into marriage."

"So, you don’t actually despise your cousin the Prince, you just dislike that kind of life."

She nodded gently and said, "You could say that, so I really don’t care who he dotes on."

"Well then, I’m out of solutions," Gu Youyou reclined in the chair and laughed, "How shall I put it, I think your mindset is quite good. At least when he favors other women, you won’t be sad. If you want to live well, the power is in your hands; it all depends on what you want."

"What do I want?" Lin Qianqing blinked her eyes.

Gu Youyou laughed and said, "It seems I have to moonlight as a psychologist."
