Chapter 375 Pregnancy
When her period was delayed before, she suspected that she might be pregnant, so she asked Jiang Rumin to take her pulse, but perhaps because the period was too short, the pulse was not visible.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed. Even if her menstruation was irregular in the past, it would not be delayed for so long.
Thinking of this, she turned to ask the housekeeper: "Is Senior Medicine King in the mansion now? Invite him over."
Jun Liluo noticed that Song Yunchu was in a strange mood, and asked quickly: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Song Yunchu said: "We will know in a moment."
The butler quickly invited the King of Medicine over.
Song Yunchu placed his wrist flat on the table and said, "Senior, please take my pulse."
Upon hearing this, the King of Medicine thought that she was not feeling well, so he took her pulse. This made his brows twitch slightly, and then a smile appeared in his eyes.
When Song Yunchu saw his smiling face, he thought to himself: As expected.
"Congratulations." The King of Medicine withdrew his hand and stroked his beard.
When Jun Liluo heard Medicine King say the word "congratulations", he was stunned for a moment.
A doctor will only congratulate someone when he detects a happy pulse.
Yun Chu...did she have a child with him?
Thinking of this, he felt an indescribable joy in his heart, but he was a little unsure, fearing that he had misunderstood, so he asked the Medicine King: "Senior, Yun Chu..."
"It's a pregnancy pulse, more than a month." The King of Medicine naturally knew what he was going to ask, and gave an answer with a smile, "I, an old man, will not take the pulse wrong, don't worry."
Jun Li Luo got a definite answer and felt his heart pounding even more. At this moment, he was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say. He subconsciously held Song Yunchu's hand.
The King of Medicine was not surprised by Jun Li Luo's reaction.
Thinking back to when he knew he was going to be a father, he felt almost the same as Jun Liluo. That sudden surprise was indescribable.
In contrast, Song Yunchu was much calmer, as if he had expected it.
"Xiao Song, I really admire you. You were able to fight Silver Fox even though you were pregnant. It's also thanks to your strong physique that you are fine. Don't do this again next time."
"Don't worry, senior. I will pay attention. I have disciplined Silver Fox so much that he dares not do anything wrong again. There is nothing worth my trouble in the future."
"That's good. I don't have anything else to tell you. Just be careful with your diet. Try not to eat spicy food, and don't drink alcohol."
"I know all this. I have stopped eating spicy food and drinking alcohol for half a month."
Jun Li Luo listened to the conversation between the two people beside him without saying a word.
[Yun Chu and I have a child, it’s great…]
[Yun Chu once said that we would have a child, and this day has finally come.]
[This child came at the right time. With a child, those pedantic old ministers would have to show more respect to her on the surface. She could take this opportunity to make them obedient, and they would learn to obey in the future.]
[If there are still those who are dissatisfied and cause trouble, they will be demoted to other places on the grounds of offending the mother of the heir to the throne, so that they can be out of sight and out of mind.]
Song Yunchu turned his back to Jun Liluo and raised his eyebrows slightly.
He really understood her. Even if he could no longer hear her voice, he knew what she was thinking.
Indeed, since the woman's identity has been revealed, she is now openly confronting the old ministers. She wants to gather all the factors that are favorable to her and secure her position as the King.
Governing the country, suppressing rebellions, and nurturing royal heirs, aren't all of these things done for the sake of the country and the people?
Anyway, there is no such thing as too many achievements.
After the Medicine King left, Song Yunchu turned to look at Jun Liluo, and seeing that he was also looking at him intently, he raised his hand and put his arm around his shoulders, "Now that you know I'm pregnant, don't you have anything to say? You're so silent."
"I was so happy that I was overwhelmed."
Jun Liluo put his arms around her back and hugged her tightly, but suddenly felt that if he hugged her too tightly, she might feel uncomfortable, so he loosened his arms a little.
"Yun Chu, I really don't know how to thank you." He gently rested his chin on her shoulder, "There are too many things I want to thank you for."
Song Yunchu chuckled and said, "Tell me about it."
"Thank you for saving me, thank you for making me no longer lonely, thank you for believing in me and loving me, and letting me experience the warmth of having someone by my side. Now we're even going to have a child..."
"I will be a good partner and a good father, believe me."
Song Yunchu held his face in his hands, caressing it gently with his fingertips. "Bringing up a child is not an easy task. In addition to raising him, his moral character, wisdom, and physical fitness must all be developed. If you are determined to be a good father, you must supervise and teach him well. If you fail to teach him well, I will hold you responsible."
Looking at the gentle smile in Song Yunchu's eyes, Jun Liluo felt a warmth in his heart and raised the corners of his lips unconsciously, "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely cultivate him well and won't let you down."
[The way Yunchu looks at me now is really becoming more gentle. ]
[She is not only willing to have a child with me, but also willing to let me raise the child with confidence, which shows her trust in me.]
[I must let her know that I am not only the most caring partner in the world, but also the most perfect father.]
[Yun Chu's eyes are so pretty. ]
[The atmosphere is so good, and she is so close to me, doesn't she want to kiss me? ]
[Forget it... I'll kiss you. ]
Thinking of this, Jun Li Luo tilted his head and covered Song Yunchu's lips.
Song Yunchu: “…”
This guy has a really active mind.
The King of Medicine said that she had been pregnant for more than a month. Calculating the time, she heard Jun Li Luo's voice about thirty days ago.
That was when she had just gotten pregnant, so—
Was Jun Li Luo's ability to read minds inherited from the child?
So once the baby is born, will the ability to read minds disappear?
If this were true, she would praise God for being fair.
She didn't want to listen to the noise in A Luo's heart for the rest of her life. Knowing him too much would make life lose some surprises and mysteries, and it would inevitably become boring after a long time.
"The treasure hunting team is on their way back to the court. When they come back, we will hold a celebration banquet for them."
Jun Liluo stroked Song Yunchu's palm and said, "By the way, use this celebration banquet to announce your pregnancy and give the court officials a surprise."
Song Yunchu smiled but said nothing.
A few days ago, General Zhao sent back a message that they and the envoys from the State of Xiling followed the instructions on the treasure map and found the location of the treasure house marked on the map, but were blocked by a mountain.
The crowd went around the mountain and saw only a large number of house ruins. The outline of a palace could still be vaguely seen. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, those houses had long since become ruins. At a glance, there was not a single valuable item.
Si Lianhuan suggested that they carefully search the ruins to see if there are any mechanisms or the like. After all, the treasure place mentioned in the rumor is the "underground palace". Since it is a hidden treasure, it will not be easily seen by people.
The group searched the ruins for four or five days without any results. On the fifth night, General Zhao accidentally discovered that there seemed to be an echo in the mountain wall near the ruins. Suspecting that there was a lot of space in the mountain wall, he took people to chisel open the mountain wall.
As expected, as soon as the mountain wall was chiseled open a little, they could feel the open space inside. Seeing this, everyone became more excited. When the entrance was smashed to a size that one person could pass through, General Zhao was the first to enter.
Behind the mountain wall was an empty stone cave. General Zhao found a mossy stone door in the cave, about ten feet high. He asked someone to call General Ye and Si Lianhua to come and see. The three of them fumbled for a long time but couldn't find the mechanism. They suspected that the mechanism had been corroded, and finally decided to smash the stone door again.
The stone gate was harder than the mountain wall, and the soldiers spent more than ten days to finally break it open. And this break did bring a surprise.
Behind the door there were stairs leading to the underground. Everyone went down the stairs and after lighting torches, they were all shocked by the scene before them.
At a glance, there are many pavilions and towers, and flowers and trees are everywhere around them. Flowers, plants and trees are not rare, but the flowers are so bright and shining, they are clearly gems, and the leaves on the branches are exquisite and translucent, they are clearly emerald.
There are tables, chairs, benches, musical instruments, swords, bottles and stoves in the pavilions. There are the four treasures of the study, various jewelry, as well as pots, bowls, and plates in the towers. All the objects that come into view are made of gold, silver and jade.
It is really full of dazzling lights.
According to General Zhao, the total value of the property in the underground palace was approximately 160 million taels, with Tianqi and Xiling each receiving more than 80 million taels.
Such a huge amount naturally cannot be known to external forces. In order to prevent external forces from spying, Jun Li Luo ordered Chen Yue to lead a thousand elite troops to provide support and escort.
Counting the days, we will arrive in seven or eight days.
…
The next day, the sun was warm.
Inside the Zhenxia Palace, two figures, one white and one pink, were sitting under the window playing chess.
Zhen Fei was holding a piece of shortbread in her hand, eating while staring at the chessboard. Seeing that she was still not making a move, Li Fei urged her, "Hurry up and play, don't just focus on eating snacks."
"I would like to, but look at the situation. Which step do you think I should take to save him?"
"No matter how you go, you can't save him." Concubine Li responded bluntly, "So I asked you to hurry up and finish this game."
"Okay, okay, I give up." Zhen Fei said unhappily, "You are only better than me at chess. If this were played at mahjong..."
She paused halfway through her words.
Concubine Li didn't respond either.
Mahjong was the favorite game of the four of them before, but later Concubine De died and Concubine Shu became a military commander. Now there are only two of them left, so how can they still play mahjong?
If you really want to play, you can play with your personal maid. But once you start playing cards, you can't help but think of the time when Concubine De was around, and you can't help feeling sad.
The purpose of playing cards is to have fun. If you are not happy, there is naturally no point in playing.
"Forget it, let's stop here today." Concubine Zhen smiled faintly at the person opposite her, "The shortbread you make is even better than the ones made in the imperial kitchen. How about you teach me how to make this?"
Just as Concubine Li was about to respond, she heard hurried footsteps outside the bedroom.
"My two ladies, just now, the eunuch Shun beside your majesty came to tell you that General Zheng accidentally fell off his horse this morning! He was injured."
After hearing what the palace maid said, both of them changed their expressions.
"How could this happen? How is her injury?"
"Where is she now? Has the doctor seen her?"
"General Zheng is now lying in her own home. His Majesty knows that you two have a good relationship with her, so he allows you to leave the palace to visit her."
Hearing the palace maid's words, the two of them quickly stood up.
"What are you waiting for? Get the carriage ready!"
On the way out of the palace, the two were worried about Zheng Qingshu's injuries, but when they rushed to her residence, they saw her sitting leisurely in the house drinking tea.
Didn’t you say that you fell and are lying in bed unable to get up?
With such a ruddy face and indifferent look, how could he look like a wounded person?
Seeing the two of them coming, Zheng Qingshu smiled and said, "Are you here? Come and sit down and have a cup of tea. I'll take you somewhere later."
"Are you not hurt?" Zhenfei came up to her and looked her up and down carefully.
"No, I'm fine." Zheng Qingshu said, "I just found a suitable reason to let you leave the palace. I can't say I'm taking you out for fun, right?"
"So you deceived His Majesty?"
"I dare not do that. I just suggested to His Majesty that I take you out to relax. His Majesty asked me to make up an excuse. If a concubine wants to leave the palace, visiting family is the best reason. I, your former sister, can also be considered a family member, right? Okay, take off your palace clothes and change into the clothes I prepared for you."
Zheng Qingshu's words made the two of them feel relieved.
Although I was frightened by her, I'm glad she wasn't really hurt.
Concubine Li looked at the gray suit on the table, a little confused, "Where are we going?"
"You'll know in a moment."
After changing clothes, Zheng Qingshu put on a mask, and the three of them went out together and got on the carriage.
Zheng Qingshu was responsible for driving, while the other two sat in the carriage, lifting the curtain to look at the scenery on both sides of the street.
"It's so lively outside the palace..." Concubine Li sighed.
Zhen Fei took over the conversation, "Of course, even the air is much better than in the palace. I seem to smell the aroma of sugar-roasted chestnuts."
"All I do is eat."
"What's wrong with eating? I won't get fat anyway. Look at how good my figure is. I'll just eat."
The two of them were looking at the scenery and bickering until the carriage stopped.
"We're here, get off the car." Zheng Qingshu lifted the curtain behind him.
The two people in the car got out and looked up at the plaque in front of them that read "Sixian Hall".
Almost everyone in the imperial city knew about this girls' school, which was built after the Conference to Select Talents.
"This Sixian Hall has actually been built. When did it happen?"
"School started about three days ago. I'll take you inside to have a look."
Zheng Qingshu led the two of them to the outside of the school, but as soon as they got close, they were stopped by the guards guarding the school.
Zheng Qingshu took out a badge from his sleeve pocket and said, "We are General Zheng's subordinates, and we are here to train the horses."
The guards quickly let the three people pass.
Although Sixian Hall is a girls' school, it also has horse riding courses, which are currently being taught by General Zheng and Captain Zhong.
Zheng Qingshu led the two of them and walked for a while, and soon they heard voices coming from the classroom in front.
"The hand-holding ceremony is also called the fist-holding ceremony. When performing the ceremony, one must stand with both feet straight, with the upper body upright or slightly bent, and clasped the hands in front of the chest."
As a clear child's voice sounded, another gentle and pleasant female voice took over the conversation, "Yes, then do you know the difference between the Heavenly Bowing Ceremony, the Time Bowing Ceremony, and the Earthly Bowing Ceremony?"
As soon as this voice came out, Concubine Zhen and Concubine Li stopped in their tracks.
This voice... sounds so much like that deceased old friend.
But then again, people are all similar, and it's not surprising that they have similar voices.
"The Heavenly Yi is mostly used by younger generations to pay respect to their elders, the Time Yi is used between peers, and the Earthly Yi is used to return the greeting to superiors. The arc of the bow is different for each, am I right, Master Huo?"
After the girl finished speaking, Concubine Zhen and Concubine Li were stunned again.
Even if it sounds like...
Still surnamed Huo?
