Shangguan Lingyun didn't know that Ye Xiaoxiao was pregnant, so he didn't know what they were talking about.
However, upon hearing that the Queen Mother had actually restricted Ye Xiaoxiao from leaving the palace, Shangguan Lingyun looked at her with some concern.
"Mother, Xiaoxiao and I left the palace to look for herbs for the children. How could you not let us leave the palace?"
The Queen Mother knew at a glance that Shangguan Lingyun was still unaware of the situation, but she had no intention of telling him.
"You two can discuss yourselves, but leaving the palace is non-negotiable."
The Queen Mother was rarely so assertive, and Shangguan Lingyun was puzzled. Just as he was about to continue arguing with the Queen Mother, he was pulled back by Ye Xiaoxiao.
"Mother, I know what's going on. Don't worry, I promise to be obedient."
Seeing that Ye Xiaoxiao agreed, the empress dowager's expression improved a little.
"Xiaoxiao, it's not that your mother is being unreasonable and insists on stopping you from leaving the house."
"Just now, you sent Doctor Xu away before he could finish his words. He was worried, so he came to report this to the Queen Mother."
Shangguan Lingyun frowned, "What's wrong? Is Xiaoxiao feeling unwell? Why did you call the imperial physician?"
The Queen Mother glanced at Shangguan Lingyun unhappily, then turned around and left with Concubine Jing, each holding a child.
"During this period, the two of them should be left in the care of Aijia and Concubine Jing. You should take good care of your health."
"I asked Qing Ning and Iris to make a nourishing soup for you. I will send it to your palace later. You must remember to drink it."
Without waiting for Ye Xiaoxiao to reply, the Queen Mother and Concubine Jing turned and left. Ye Xiaoxiao had no choice but to respond awkwardly.
Shangguan Lingyun was confused by what he heard. He pulled Ye Xiaoxiao to his side and looked her up and down.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you? Tell your husband quickly."
Ye Xiaoxiao hadn't decided whether to tell Shangguan Lingyun, but now, if she didn't tell him, she would be in trouble.
"I'm fine, don't worry. I just started retching suddenly, so I asked the doctor to come and take a look."
"What did the doctor say? Why did he suddenly start retching? Regurgitating?"
Shangguan Lingyun suddenly woke up, "Xiaoxiao, are you pregnant?"
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded. Shangguan Lingyun was not happy when he heard this. Instead, his expression suddenly changed.
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned and said in a bad tone: "Why, my husband doesn't want this child?"
Seeing that Ye Xiaoxiao's tone was wrong, Shangguan Lingyun hurriedly explained.
"Xiaoxiao, don't worry. I just feel that giving birth is so painful, and I really don't want you to suffer again."
Ye Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes in annoyance and complained mercilessly in her heart.
"You know I'm suffering now, but why didn't you think about this when you were enjoying yourself?"
Shangguan Lingyun: “…”
"Xiaoxiao, sit down first, don't hurt yourself."
"Tianxuan, go get Doctor Xu and have him examine the Queen again."
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the extremely nervous Shangguan Lingyun speechlessly, and then stopped Tianxuan.
"No need to go. Didn't Mother just say that Iris will bring me some nourishing soup soon? I can just ask Iris directly later."
Shangguan Lingyun refused and insisted on asking Doctor Xu to come back. Ye Xiaoxiao had no choice but to let him do it.
After Doctor Xu arrived, he recounted Ye Xiaoxiao's physical condition.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's body is a little bit deficient in Qi and blood due to the fatigue from traveling outside."
"But your majesty, don't worry. This is not a serious problem. It is a normal phenomenon of pregnancy. Just take regular nourishment and you will be fine."
Shangguan Lingyun asked Doctor Xu to tell him all the precautions, and then asked Doctor Xu to write them down on paper.
Ye Xiaoxiao found it a little funny, but didn't say anything.
When she was pregnant, she lived alone in the Ye family's side courtyard. Everything was done according to the advice of modern medicine, so there were not many requirements.
But people in ancient times paid attention to these things, and Shangguan Lingyun was extremely nervous, so the precautions listed by Doctor Xu for her were a bit too many.
Shangguan Lingyun asked about every detail at the beginning.
However, when he heard that they could not have sex in the future, his face suddenly became even uglier.
"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let Xiaoxiao get pregnant. How am I going to live without being able to be intimate with Xiaoxiao for ten months?"
As if he could see Shangguan Lingyun's grievance, Doctor Xu coughed dryly, and then briefly explained the safe period to Shangguan Lingyun.
"Your Majesty, the first three months of pregnancy and the first three months of childbirth are dangerous periods. Sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited during this period."
"As for the rest of the time, the child is relatively stable and can be determined based on the mother's physical condition."
Ye Xiaoxiao's pretty face turned slightly red, while Shangguan Lingyun was studying seriously like a primary school student.
Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she waved her hand and asked Doctor Xu to leave.
"Xiaoxiao, I still have many questions to ask the imperial physician. Why did you let him go?"
Ye Xiaoxiao sighed, then looked at Tianxuan.
"Tianxuan, go to Tianquan Bookstore and find some basic books on pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum recovery for His Majesty."
Shangguan Lingyun's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.
"Yeah, how could I forget about Tianquan Book Club?"
"Okay, okay, it's windy here, let's go back first."
After Shangguan Lingyun finished speaking, he supported Ye Xiaoxiao back to the palace as if she were some rare treasure.
Later, after walking a few steps, Shangguan Lingyun was afraid that Ye Xiaoxiao would be tired from walking, so he just picked her up horizontally.
Ye Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes speechlessly, but unfortunately, no matter what she said, Shangguan Lingyun refused to let her come down.
