Chapter 218 Pregnancy
She felt her heart bursting with joy. This was their first child, and she had been looking forward to it for many years. Now her wish had finally come true. She wanted to write to him and tell him, but he would be back in half a month, so she wanted to tell him in person.
When it was time for rest, he came back. This time he left in a hurry and it was already evening when he arrived at the courtyard. She was sitting by the bed embroidering something, and when she saw him, she immediately put it away.
He laughed, "Why, is it for me?"
Yu Huatang didn't answer him, but only said, "You'll know later."
"So mysterious?" He came over to hug her and kissed her. "Did you miss me?"
She finally pushed him away and punched him, "You've been so exhausted from all this travel, can't you just calm down for a while?"
He hugged her tightly again, lowered his head and smiled, "Don't you miss me? How can I remain calm when I see you?"
After that, he kissed her again and said, "I'm going to take a shower first, wait for me..."
The words that followed were extremely ambiguous, and before she could explain, he rushed in impatiently.
When he came out of the shower, he put down the things in her hand and carried her to the bed.
"It smells so good. What did you use today? Am I using the same thing as you? Why isn't it as good as yours?" He was not honest with her hands and feet, kissing and rubbing her. She couldn't resist it anymore and pushed him away with a gasp, "No... Listen to me..."
"Let's talk about it later..." He continued to block her lips and his hands continued to behave inappropriately.
When she got there, she woke up with a start, pushed him away with force, and gasped, "I really can't..."
"What's wrong?" He was a little annoyed and came over to hug her again.
She immediately said, "I'm pregnant, and this is not good for the baby."
"What?" He didn't hear clearly.
Yu Huatang stood up and said, "It's been almost two months."
Zhao Yan seemed to finally react, "So, so that's what you mean, we have a child?"
She smiled softly, "Yes."
He looked at him for a long time, and finally asked carefully, "Are you okay just now? I used so much force?"
She smiled in his arms, "It's okay, it's not made of porcelain."
He hugged her tightly again, "So, it was conceived last time. I never thought..."
"You're inside every time. It would be strange if you didn't get pregnant..." She gave him a reproachful look.
He hugged her and smiled, "Yes, I was so happy that I almost forgot." Then he looked at her and said, "Why do I feel that God is so good to me, giving you to me and sending us our child."
"Maybe God has taken pity on you at your old age..." She said this deliberately.
But he was not annoyed. He just held her hand, stroking the delicate skin carefully, and then put her palm on his face, "Whatever you say, I'm happy."
"I'm happy too. What do you think we should call him (her)?"
Zhao Yan also thought for a while. "Names are a big deal. I need to think carefully. It would be best to prepare three for girls and three for boys. How about that?"
She smiled, "Whatever you want."
Afterwards, she sat on the bed and continued sewing the children's clothes. He watched from the side and said, "Are you going to make so many? I see there is a lot of fabric."
"This is still a small amount. When the baby is born next year, it will be around February, and it will still be quite cold. Babies change clothes quickly, so we need to prepare more than a dozen sets."
"Then don't do it. I'll ask the embroidery workshop in the capital to do it."
Yu Huatang glanced at him and asked, "Why, you don't like my craftsmanship?"
"No, I just think the fabric might be too rough. Shouldn't it be at least satin?"
Yu Huatang glanced at him and said, "What's wrong? Children should wear cotton underneath. Cotton is soft. Silk and satin are too cold. They should be worn when the weather gets warmer."
He didn't understand either, so naturally he took whatever she said as his own. After waiting for a while, he felt filled with tenderness, so he took the book and flipped through it, determined to find a good name.
He wrote and wrote, but none of them seemed good. Then he remembered something and turned to her and said, "Why don't you tell your family?"
She shook her head. "It'll take at least three months."
"You still have that?"
She nodded, "Of course, the first three months are easy..." She didn't dare say anything bad, for fear of any accidents.
He understood what she meant and came over to hug her. "Don't worry, everything will be fine. After the baby is born, I will go to the Buddhist temple to buy something to protect him (her)."
After saying that, she worriedly asked, "Will you still go in the future? I heard that pregnant women tend to be sleepy and vomit constantly. How can you still go to the store like that? Otherwise..."
Before he finished speaking, Yu Huatang naturally knew what he was going to say, "Of course I will go, but I will no longer teach them, I will just give them some guidance. I will also go there to rest when I am tired."
"I'm still worried. You only have one maid by your side. Tomorrow I'll go buy a few strong maids to cook for you and do the hard work for you. Don't eat the food from the shop. It won't be good if you starve."
Yu Huatang replied, "There's no need to make such a big fuss. Besides, the child is still young and can't eat too much. It might not be good for the child when he grows up."
"Really? Why do I see other people eating it all the time when they are pregnant?" He always felt that she was lying to him.
"Of course, when my cousin gave birth to Ji'an, the doctor told her to move more and take walks regularly, and not just eat."
He looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and finally just hugged her.
Of course she knew what he meant. It was simply to go to Fuzhou Prefecture with him, but she really couldn't leave at the moment and had to wait for a while.
Since getting married, many people have asked her why she didn't go to Fuzhou. She didn't say it was not a good idea, but she felt that the fear from the past was still in her heart, and staying here was a way out.
But things are different now. She feels sorry for him running back and forth all the time, and she is not so reluctant to go to Fuzhou Prefecture.
After a few days, Zhao Yan was about to leave again. He was extremely reluctant to let her go. Before leaving, he told her not to move things and just leave them to the maid, and not to walk at night and not to leave anyone by her side.
She nodded to each one, and finally he mounted his horse and rode away with a frown.
She watched him from behind, and when the shadow turned into a dot, she felt a little sad and reluctant.
Afterwards, Zhao Yan wrote to her again. There was no inappropriate content in the letter, but only instructions. Today he said that he had read medical books and knew that she should not eat this.
Mingtian said he read medical books and can eat this.
Later, Anfu sent a lot of supplements, including sea fish and various things that were not seen before. Yu Huatang wrote to him and told him not to buy any more, because they would not be able to be finished even if they were eaten by next year.
When she was three months pregnant and the fetus was stable and the doctor said she could travel long distances, she called the shopkeeper Yuan to give him instructions, settled all the money with the head shopkeeper of the Baili family, and finally went to Fuzhou Prefecture with a few maids and Xiao He.
Several gatekeepers were standing outside the government office. Yu Huatang came down, and Xiao He went over to explain her purpose. Several people chatting around immediately looked over, and one of them said, "You can't go in without proof."
