Chapter 156 Pregnancy

While Shen Wangshu was still hesitating whether to tell Chen Ting, Chen Ting, who had just returned to the general's mansion in the afternoon and had not even had time to change out of his court clothes, came over and hugged him, without saying a word but with a resentful look in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Shen Wangshu looked up at him: "You are so unhappy, who made you unhappy?"

Chen Ting held his limp wife for a while before he felt a little relieved. "In mid-March, the Great Zhou Dynasty will host a continental exchange meeting. There will be many foreign envoys at that time. The emperor asked me to lead the troops to clean up the bandits and rebels in various transportation fortresses, so as not to affect the image of our Great Zhou... I have to set off in a few days."

It’s only been a month since Chinese New Year! He has only been back for a short time, and before he could enjoy the love with his wife enough, he was ordered away again! When will this day end?

"This is necessary. You are now the pillar of the Great Zhou. Most of the bandits are not powerful, and some of them are forced by the officials to rebel. Now that the emperor has implemented new policies and reforms, many people who were originally bandits have been recruited. The stubborn bandits are no match for you, and they should be able to come back soon." Shen Wangshu explained the reason to him in a soft voice, and then coaxed him: "You work hard, and I will have a surprise for you when you come back."

Chen Ting barely recovered from his depression: "What surprise?"

"Can it still be called a surprise if you tell me about it?" Shen Wangshu refused to answer his question, but worked hard in the next few days to make a bunch of internal and external injury medicines for him to take away.

Since Chen Ting was going to suppress the bandits, there was no need to worry about whether or not to tell him about her pregnancy. She could wait until she was a little further along in the pregnancy and could be sure of it before telling him, to avoid a misdiagnosis that would make others excited for nothing.

Upon learning that her sister was pregnant and Chen Ting was about to leave, the queen proposed to bring her to the palace to take care of her personally that afternoon. After being rejected by Shen Wangshu, she immediately sent a large amount of supplements to the general's mansion and ordered a few old maids from the palace who could take care of people, saying that the maids around her were too young and she was not confident in them to do the job.

It was hard to refuse the sister's kindness, so Shen Wangshu had to accept it.

After I came back from the palace last time, the little thing in my belly was probably discovered and stopped pretending. The pregnancy reaction came violently. I had no appetite for food. This situation only lasted for a few days, and then it started to become completely the opposite -

Her demand for food became very large. Her appetite was more than two or three times that of before. It was as if she had grown another stomach inside her stomach. She ate five big bowls of rice five times a day without gaining weight. She was no longer disgusted by meat and would feel very hungry if she missed a meal.

This situation was not normal, and no one had ever seen a pregnant woman like this. Although Shen Wangshu himself could find a reasonable explanation, others did not understand. They were extremely worried, fearing that the lady would get sick if she continued to eat like this, so they even invited Zhang Dai, who was preparing to go out for a trip, to come out of the palace overnight.

When Zhang Dai arrived at the General's Mansion, Shen Wangshu was having afternoon tea. The table was full of food, which was swept away quickly and elegantly. He looked up and said, "Brother? You are here. Come sit down and eat something together?"

"......" Zhang Dai had never seen such a scene before, so he turned around and asked, "How long has her symptoms lasted?"

Tao Hong's face was filled with sorrow: "Madam was just like an ordinary person when she was pregnant, and her morning sickness reaction was normal. But after a trip to the palace, her appetite became so huge..."

Judging from the outside, Shen Wangshu was actually no different from before. He even had a rosy complexion, bright eyes, and looked very good because he ate well and slept well.

Although Zhang Dai had not come into contact with Chen Ting a few times, he could detect some clues through some clues. When he examined Shen Wangshu's pulse alone, he lowered his voice and asked, "Tell me honestly, is the problem with the child's father?"

Shen Wangshu raised his eyebrows: “How did you figure it out so perceptive?”

"Although we are souls traveling through time and space, we are also real humans. No matter how much we have mutated, it cannot be like this. There must be something wrong with Chen Ting. In addition, I have been curious about the dragon horn powder you saved Emperor Zhou Xian before." Zhang Dai revealed the secret: "Chen Ting is not a human, he is a dragon? So the one in your belly is not an ordinary human child, but a little monster. The food intake is very large because an ordinary human mother cannot support it."

Shen Wangshu nodded, confirming his thoughts: "I think so too, so I'm quite panicked now." He ate a lot to begin with, and when he panicked, he ate even more, and then it became a vicious cycle, and it became like this now.

Zhang Dai stopped traveling and praised his junior sister for her boldness. He said, "I have learned both obstetrics and gynecology and paleontology well. Give me a chance to research a topic."

We are all family, so Shen Wangshu certainly agreed: "If I can go back, I must be the co-first author of your paper."

"no problem."

The poor little dragon egg had already been divided up by the two crazy scientists when it was still in its mother's belly. It rolled around in the belly a little uneasily, and was so round that it was difficult to tell its hands and feet apart.

The days for keeping the baby safe were set in such an ordinary way. Zhang Dai formulated a set of scientific rules for feeding the little monster for Shen Wangshu, changed her previous diet of eating and drinking excessively, and even formulated an exercise plan.

After a month of experiments, the final conclusion was that dragon eggs do need to consume a large amount of food, but they will not excessively plunder the mother's nutrients. In fact, they will even feed back to the mother's strength in order to protect themselves and ensure a smooth delivery afterwards.

After becoming pregnant, Shen Wangshu's physical strength buffs were fully stacked, and she was so strong that she could even lift stones with one hand. The intense exercise did not have any effect on the dragon egg, at most it felt a little bumpy. In a way, it was also a disguised experience of being a superman.

Of course, there are some negative effects.

For example, she would miss Chen Ting especially when she went to bed at night. She didn't know whether it was because the baby in her belly needed the father's pheromones or because of the hormones in Shen Wangshu's body. In short, it was still cold in spring, and she just felt that the bed was too big and too cold when she slept alone...

Of course, Shen Wangshu would not tell anyone about this embarrassing reaction, and her senior brother was no exception. She would only silently hug the clean clothes stained with Chen Ting's smell and sleep, and it was not exaggerated to the point of nesting behavior.

However, Shen Wangshu felt that if Chen Ting didn't come back, it was hard to say whether he would be affected by some animal nature.

Although her body is in great shape, her mood is still affected by human progesterone, especially at night, when she becomes particularly emo. She would hold someone's clothes and smell them secretly in the previous second, and then punch and kick the clothes in the next second because she resented this bastard for not being by her side, and throw them aside and ignore them, and then pick them up silently after a while.
