Chapter 220 Extra 1: Pregnancy
The Emperor's worthless appearance made people laugh.
The carriage swayed slowly as it walked through the snow into the palace.
It has been nearly half a year since they got married. To be honest, apart from the name, not much has changed.
Although the queen had her own palace, even if she moved there, Xie Lang would definitely follow her, which would be troublesome. So the two of them decided to skip this step and continue living in the Taiji Palace.
Today was the winter solstice, and a mutton hotpot was prepared for the meal. It was made by the chef that Xie Lang had specially invited back last year because he saw that she liked it.
It was freezing cold outside and she really needed a bowl of soup to warm herself up. Xie Lang diligently served her a bowl.
Wen Hemian had been feeling a little uncomfortable in the academy, and thought it was just a psychological effect. She didn't expect that as soon as the mutton soup was brought closer to her, she suddenly felt nauseous. She couldn't help but tilt her head and dry heave twice, and her face turned pale.
Xie Lang was startled. He quickly put down the bowl in his hand and went over to hold her hand. He couldn't hide the panic in his voice: "What's wrong?"
Wen Hemian slowed down, closed his eyes and calculated in his mind, vaguely came up with a plan, and slowly uttered a few words: "... call the imperial physician."
There was no time to eat. Xie Lang had the same idea in mind, so he immediately asked someone to call the imperial physician.
Wen Hemian didn't say anything, but he looked calmer than him. After a moment, he explained, "I didn't have my period last month."
Xie Lang suddenly realized something, his face went blank, and he froze for a long time without saying anything, but he held her hand even tighter.
The imperial physician who rushed over took a look and immediately knelt down, his face showing joy: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Queen is pregnant!"
The imperial physician's words just happened to confirm the two's guesses.
Wen Hemian had told Xie Lang about his plan a long time ago, and the two of them did not deliberately avoid each other, so although they were a little surprised, the child's arrival was not unexpected.
Xie Lang was brought back to his senses by the call, but the first thing he was concerned about was not the baby in his belly, but Wen Hemian.
"How is the Master's health?"
The imperial physician said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Your Majesty is in good health. It's just that the weather has been cold recently and she has caught a cold. In addition, she is pregnant, so she may have a poor appetite. You can use gentle methods to nourish your body later."
After hearing this, Xie Lang finally felt relieved. He asked a lot of questions before finally waving his hand and letting the man go.
When they were the only two left in the hall, he became a little dazed. He looked at Wen Hemian, then at her belly, looking a little at a loss.
After the initial nausea subsided, things got much better. Wen Hemian watched his facial expression change from beginning to end and couldn't help laughing: "Still can't accept it?"
Xie Lang shook his head frantically, moved closer to hold her waist, and acted cautiously: "It's just a feeling, a little strange."
Xie Lang once said that he really didn't like children. Besides finding them troublesome, he also didn't like having children because they would inevitably distract Wen Hemian's attention.
However, when this incident actually happened, he found that it unexpectedly aroused a deeper possessive desire in his heart.
He couldn't help feeling excited and overjoyed at the thought that their common blood could deepen the bond between them.
Xie Lang lowered his eyes and gently stroked her waist, expressing his dark thoughts that were unknown to others.
Intuitively, Wen Hemian felt that his idea was probably more than that simple. After a long silence, he patted his hand and said, "Okay, let's eat first. I'm hungry."
Judging from the situation, the mutton pot is definitely out of the question, but fortunately there are some side dishes, and with rice, it's barely enough for a meal.
Xie Lang wanted to ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some more dishes, but Wen Hemian felt that it was unnecessary and suppressed his eager heart.
As for whether he was planning something in his heart, Wen Hemian didn't want to delve into it for the time being.
The next day, His Majesty's oral order informed the entire palace that the Queen was pregnant. Everyone received reward money and could not stop rejoicing.
Lai Xi was the happiest one among them. With a stern face, he called all the palace people over and gave them a lecture, telling them to serve well and not to have any inappropriate thoughts.
Although everyone knew that the emperor and the empress were deeply in love, there were always a few who were ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and wanted to climb up the tree and become phoenixes. When His Majesty noticed this, he quietly sent them away.
Now that Lord Wen is pregnant, there is no room for carelessness. Lai Xi believes that His Majesty would definitely not be happy about these things being brought to Lord Wen's attention, and he must keep a close eye on them in private.
In the palace, upon hearing the news, Qin Yi rushed into the palace without stopping.
Ever since the border affairs were handed over, the couple moved to a villa on the outskirts of the city. It was a coincidence that they came back today.
Qin Yi had experienced the risks of childbirth, and now that her daughter was pregnant, she couldn't help but feel even more worried and gave a lot of nagging instructions.
"Mother knows you are busy, but being pregnant is unusual. You need to pay more attention to your diet and follow the advice of the imperial physician. Also, regarding sexual intercourse..."
Qin Yi is indeed an experienced person, and his advice is so comprehensive that it makes people's ears warm.
Wen Hemian agreed to all of them.
As he was talking, Xie Lang came in from outside. He heard some of the endings and immediately said seriously, "Please rest assured, Princess. I will take good care of Han Shuang."
The couple had considered a lot about him, and Xie Lang saw it all without pointing it out or saying anything. The two of them were not very close, but because they had someone they cared about in common, they could put aside these unimportant things for the time being.
Qin Yi nodded, but still couldn't help worrying: "Mother won't interfere in your affairs. I'll go find a few midwives and female doctors to come to the palace and let them take care of you."
Wen Hemian smiled and said, "Okay."
After saying this, Qin Yi didn't let her see him off when they left the palace. He just said that the roads were slippery due to the snow and asked her to have a good rest.
Xie Lang then sat down beside her, rubbing her waist while talking about his plan: "I have discussed with the ministers and decided to temporarily change the morning court session to the evening court session, and then change it back when spring comes."
This morning, Xie Lang took some time to read some notes sent from the hospital. He wanted to take care of the child himself to feel at ease. It was winter and people were lazy. With this change, he could sleep a little longer with Wen Hemian in the morning.
"also."
Seeing the tense look on his face, Wen Hemian reached out and pinched his cheek, saying happily, "Don't worry too much, I know what's going on."
In fact, the child is very well-behaved. Apart from making her vomit yesterday and making her aware of his existence, he has not been bothering her again until now. It may be because the baby is still in her early months... But Wen Hemian has a strange intuition that it will probably always be like this.
But intuition was unpredictable, so she didn't speak it out rashly.
Xie Lang leaned over and kissed her on the lips. He felt relieved when he smelled the sweet fragrance coming from her body, but he was still worried: "No matter whether the baby is a boy or a girl, it will be the crown prince. The progress of the Imperial Hospital is too slow. I will urge them to make a contraceptive drug for men by next year."
It would have been fine to just watch from a distance in the past, but when Xie Lang read the many rules and regulations written in the book about the dangers of childbirth for women, he felt horrified.
Most women's contraceptive drugs have serious side effects, and only by placing the risk on him would the imperial doctors dare not take it lightly.
It's okay this time, there's no chance it will happen a second time anyway.
He couldn't afford to gamble.
Xie Lang softened his voice: "Hanshuang, you are not allowed to say that to me."
