Chapter 203 Vegetarian Meat
Jiang Shu and Fang Nanxing were surprised to hear Yu Zheng ask such a question, and then their faces flushed at the same time.
Although the doctor was not shy, Fang Nanxing was an unmarried woman after all, and it was a bit embarrassing to talk about this topic in front of a man.
Fang Nanxing lowered her head and tried to be calm and said: "According to medical theory, it is not suitable to have sex in the first three months when the fetus is not fully settled. After three months, you can have sex lightly, but in the second three months when the baby is big, it is not suitable to have sex."
In order to avoid Yu Zheng asking again, Fang Nanxing simply said everything.
However, she had not experienced this matter personally, so she could only answer according to the medical theory she learned and her rare diagnosis and treatment experience.
The first three months and the second three months, then there are only about three months left in the middle, right?
Yu Zheng had no time to care about Jiang Shu and Fang Nanxing's reactions, and was calculating silently in his heart.
Today is the twenty-eighth day of the winter month, and Jiang Shu has been pregnant for less than two months. He has to endure for more than a month, which will be after the New Year.
"Take good care of the princess." Yu Zheng sighed, got up and went to the study.
The weather is gloomy today, and it started to rain shortly after breakfast.
The raindrops are not big, but when they hit people's faces and hands, it feels as cold and painful as a knife.
Tan Yu came in from outside, shrinking her neck and said, "There is snow in the rain, it's freezing cold. I will add a charcoal fire for the princess."
"Okay." Jiang Shu leaned on the couch and did embroidery with Chu Yu.
Shuanghua brought tea and snacks into the room, served a cup of warm tea to Jiang Shu and said, "The princess is pregnant, so just let the servants do these things."
Jiang Shu took two sips and said indifferently, "Reading books every day is boring. Besides, the intention of doing something by yourself is always different from that of others."
She was pregnant and it was very cold outside. She couldn't walk around, so she could only stay in the house reading and painting, which was really depressing.
Doing some needlework can not only kill time, but also express her intention, killing two birds with one stone.
Shuanghua remembered the sachet that Jiang Shu gave to Yu Zheng before. Yu Zheng was so precious that he washed it himself, so she didn't say anything more at that moment.
Jiang Shu ate a piece of cake with tea, wiped his hands with a towel and said, "You go to the outer room to watch. When the prince comes back, remind me so that I can put the things away."
Yu Zheng did not go out today. He must come back for lunch after finishing his official duties.
But this is the New Year's gift she prepared for Yu Zheng, and he cannot be informed in advance.
"Yes." Shuanghua responded respectfully and went to the outer room to keep an eye.
The cold wind and rain kept blowing, and Yu Zheng came back at noon.
"Prince." Shuanghua greeted him in the outer room.
After Jiang Shu in the inner room heard it, he hurriedly asked Chu Yu to hide the things she made under the couch.
When Yu Zheng came in, he saw Jiang Shu reading a book on the couch, and Chu Yu stood by to serve him.
"Prince." Seeing Yu Zheng, Chu Yu stood up and saluted, and then retreated tactfully.
Yu Zheng walked to the couch and sat down, stretched out his hand to warm the fire and asked: "Have you been reading for the whole morning?"
"Yeah." Jiang Shu put down the book and stretched his waist and asked: "Is it very cold outside?"
Yu Zheng nodded, his face slightly stiff: "I'm afraid the snow will fall earlier this year."
"Really?" Jiang Shu's almond eyes lit up when he heard it, and her face was full of expectation.
Although it's cold when it snows, it can't stop the snow from being too beautiful.
Yu Zheng saw her expression and knew what she was thinking. The corners of his lips curved slightly and said: "Do you like snow?"
"Yeah." Jiang Shu nodded repeatedly.
Yu Zheng thought of the plum forest in the back garden, which should be blooming soon.
The weather was cold, and the kitchen prepared a small red clay stove for lunch. The stewed chicken soup was placed on the stove and simmered on a low fire. You can drink hot soup at any time, or boil some fresh and tender leaves to eat.
Recently, Jiang Shu had morning sickness and her taste also changed. She would vomit at the sight of meaty smells, and could not swallow greasy and oily food, preferring refreshing vegetarian dishes.
The chicken soup sent from the kitchen was stripped of chicken and grease, leaving only the fragrant and clear soup, which was used to simmer fresh vegetable leaves, and Jiang Shu thought it was extremely delicious.
"Husband, please try it." Jiang Shu picked up the simmered vegetable leaves and put them into Yu Zheng's bowl.
Yu Zheng picked them up and put them into his mouth, chewing them carefully.
"Is it delicious?" Jiang Shu asked expectantly.
"Yeah." Yu Zheng nodded, but he was thinking in his heart.
If Jiang Shu only ate vegetables and no meat, she might not be able to bear it for a long time, and the baby in her belly would not grow well.
She had to think of a way.
After lunch, the drizzle was still falling. Seeing Yu Zheng sitting still, Jiang Shu could not help asking, "Do you have nothing to do this afternoon, my husband?"
"Well, what do you want to do?" Yu Zheng put down the teacup and asked back.
Jiang Shu choked. She wanted to wait for him to leave so that she could do the embroidery!
No, Yu Zheng rarely had half a day to spare, and the embroidery would not be late tomorrow.
Her clear almond eyes flashed, and Jiang Shu said, "Let's play chess." Jiang
Shu had been reading books recently, and he was really tired of reading. Thinking about it carefully, the last time they played chess was on the way back to Shangjing.
"Okay." Yu Zheng responded, and asked Shuanghua to bring the chessboard and set it up.
The two sat at the two ends of the soft couch, each holding a piece, and played chess leisurely.
Although they were still playing chess, their mood was very different from before.
The two people who had been together day and night, no longer had any tremors or reluctance, and were finally able to calm down and make their moves.
However, pregnancy can easily make Jiang Shu tired, and she yawned after playing two games.
Seeing this, Yu Zheng threw the chess piece in his hand back into the chess pot, and wanted to take Jiang Shu to the bed for a nap.
Jiang Shu grabbed his outstretched hand and said, "The bed is cold, I'll sleep here for a while."
Thinking that the nap time would not be long and the soft couch was spacious and comfortable enough, Yu Zheng asked Shuanghua to take away the chess equipment and sat beside the couch to accompany Jiang Shu for a nap.
After Jiang Shu fell asleep, Yu Zheng got up and went to the outer room, and whispered to Tan Yu.
"Go to the kitchen and tell them to find a way to make the meat more vegetarian so that the princess can't eat it."
When Tan Yu heard this, her face showed astonishment.
She had always heard of trying to make vegetarian dishes taste like meat, but this was the first time she heard of making meat into vegetarian dishes.
Just thinking about it, Tan Yu feels a headache about cooking.
As expected, after Tan Yu went to the kitchen to relay Yu Zheng's words, the chef's brows immediately twisted into the shape of a "chuan" character.
After thinking hard and trying many times for an entire afternoon, he managed to make a dish for dinner.
White jade balls in mushroom soup.
"Princess, try this." Tan Yu, who knew the answer well, scooped a ball for Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu frowned subconsciously, covered his nose with his hand and said, "I don't want to eat meat."
Tan Yu swore, "This is not a meatball, it's a vegetarian ball made with water chestnuts and tofu."
"Really?" Jiang Shu was skeptical, scooped it up with a porcelain spoon and sniffed it, and sure enough, he didn't smell any meat.
After confirming that he didn't feel sick, Jiang Shu took a tentative bite and tasted it carefully.
Yu Zheng and the others stared at it with bated breath.
After Jiang Shu swallowed it, Yu Zheng asked slowly, "How does it taste?"
Jiang Shu nodded in surprise, "It's sweet and smooth, and it has the delicious taste of mushroom soup. It's delicious. My husband, try it." Jiang Shu
said, and fed the remaining half of the meatball in his hand to Yu Zheng.
When Jiang Shu realized that he had eaten it and wanted to take it back to scoop another one for Yu Zheng, Yu Zheng had already come over and opened his mouth to eat it.
Jiang Shu was surprised, and Tan Yu and others were also surprised.
"It's really good, eat more." Yu Zheng scooped a few more into Jiang Shu's bowl.
If he hadn't known it in advance, Yu Zheng wouldn't have been able to taste the meat in the meatballs.
Jiang Shu, who didn't know about it, happily ate half a bowl, and had some other dishes, and was very satisfied.
Yu Zheng looked at it and breathed a sigh of relief.
