Doctor Zhang of the Imperial Hospital was an expert in obstetrics and had delivered babies for the late emperor and the current emperor. The old doctor had just been invited by King Dongling to take the pulse. On his way home, he suddenly felt dizzy and a cloth bag fell from the sky. The old doctor never expected that at his age, he would be kidnapped.
The kidnappers did not make a sound. They neither tied him up nor kept him in the cloth bag for long. After about a cup of tea, the cloth bag was opened. Doctor Zhang got up and rubbed his eyes. He was shocked to find that he was in an unfamiliar house. Sitting in front of him was a person he had not seen for a long time.
——Ye Zhi, King of Huainan.
Doctor Zhang's beard was shaking with excitement. He had delivered the late emperor and he had almost watched the eldest prince Ye Zhi grow up. Later, the King of Huainan died. Doctor Zhang did not know about Ye Zhi and Cui Lan's revenge and thought that Ye Zhi was really dead. At this moment, Ye Zhi suddenly appeared, which frightened Doctor Zhang. The old doctor's mind was in a mess. He knelt down with a flutter and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, you..."
Are you a human or a ghost? Why do you want to arrest me?
Ye Zhi said softly, "Doctor Zhang, it's me. I'm still alive, but I'm no longer the King of Huainan."
...As long as you are a human being. Doctor Zhang wiped the sweat off his face.
Ye Zhi continued, "I'm looking for you in such a hurry, and not for any other reason... Doctor Zhang, please check my pulse again."
Ye Zhi slowly stretched out his arm. From childhood to adulthood, he always asked Doctor Zhang for help whenever he had a headache or a fever. Doctor Zhang's vision became a little blurred when he heard this. He wiped the corners of his eyes and took out a pulse pillow from his arms.
After a moment, Doctor Zhang said softly, "Your pulse is pregnant. It's been three months."
Ye Zhi nodded. He had fathered several children, so he had noticed the changes in his body long ago and had a rough idea of what was going on.
Ye Zhidao: "What's the situation?"
Doctor Zhang said, "Everything is fine now, but... have you been too worried recently?"
Ye Zhi coughed lightly: "I won't do that again in the future."
Doctor Zhang asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Ye Zhi said: "Sleepy. And not having a good appetite."
Doctor Zhang: "These are all normal pregnancy symptoms. If you have a poor appetite, you can eat some appetizers, but don't eat hawthorn, which can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis."
Doctor Zhang thought of the piles of angelicae chinensis he had seen in the Dongling Palace, and said with a smile, "During this season, you might as well eat more angelicae chinensis."
Ye Zhi nodded and pointed to the table next to him. Doctor Zhang then noticed the several fragrant magnolias placed on it and thought that the King of Huainan had made a lot of preparations himself.
Ye Zhi said: "Thank you, Doctor Zhang. If I feel unwell in the future, I will have to come to you again. Please don't be surprised. And during the delivery..."
Ye Zhiben had already left the imperial city. The reason he returned was because only the imperial physician knew how to deliver a baby for people with their physiques, and Imperial Physician Zhang was someone he could trust.
Doctor Zhang agreed and told Ye Zhi some precautions during pregnancy. Afterwards, a tall man wearing a silver mask walked into the room quietly, picked up the cloth bag that contained Doctor Zhang, and Doctor Zhang cooperated by closing his eyes and waiting to be hooded. He knew very well that although Ye Zhi appeared dead to the public, he was actually still alive. This must be a royal secret, and for the safety of Prince Huainan, they had to do so.
Doctor Zhang sent the patient away quickly. The masked man flashed into the room and sat down in the empty seat next to Ye Zhi.
Ye Zhi said happily: "Cui Lan, did you hear that? The imperial physician said he is fine."
Cui Lan nodded.
Ye Zhi smiled and said, "You can't be angry with me now. The imperial physician said that we should not worry too much. You and I have both died once, so what is there to worry about? Don't always think about leaving. Stay with me and accompany the child to grow up, okay?"
"The past... is all in the past."
Ye Zhi held Cui Lan's hand tightly, his eyes slightly red.
Cui Lan knew that he must be thinking of his previous children, who all died before him.
Cui Lan was originally going to leave Ye Zhi because his existence was a burden to Ye Zhi, and his ugly appearance under the mask made him feel inferior for a time. He felt that he was not worthy of Ye Zhi, and apart from revenge, he could not find any reason to stay with Ye Zhi. But this revenge can no longer be avenged.
Cui Lan had prepared everything and wanted to leave secretly several times, but Ye Zhi would not let him go and would chase him back every time. When those sparkling eyes looked at him, Cui Lan would always forget everything.
In the past, Ye Zhi and his wife were so focused on revenge that they didn't dare to have children, fearing that the children would suffer. But now they are ordinary people.
Ye Zhi said that ordinary people just want to get married and have children. Since he and he were married, they should have children.
Cui Lan felt that Ye Zhi must have done it on purpose. How could he leave with peace of mind when he had a child?
I'm afraid I won't be able to leave in this life... Finally, I have one more reason to stay with Ye Zhi.
The man who had never been afraid of swords and knives had red eyes at this moment, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, I promise you."
Doctor Zhang was sent back to the palace by Cui Lan, and the next day when he was on duty, the emperor also summoned him.
This was a routine pulse check. The emperor wanted to have a second child as soon as possible, so he would ask the imperial physician to check on him every few days.
Last time, Doctor Zhang had not yet diagnosed anything.
Ye An had a rosy complexion and a smooth body. While eating the Xiangluan that Mu Ci bought for him, he slowly stretched out his arms.
Doctor Zhang examined the patient repeatedly for a while, then glanced at the half-eaten Chinese magnolia and felt like laughing.
"Your Majesty, do you think this fragrant Luan is delicious?"
Ye An said, "It's sweet and sour, very good. Would the imperial physician like to try it too?"
In private, Ye An did not have the dignity of an emperor and often distributed food to his subordinates. Now that the imperial physician was interested in Xiangluan, Ye An took out a fruit and put it in the old imperial physician's palm.
Doctor Zhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Your Majesty, this fragrant atractylodes is too sour. When I smell it, my teeth feel sour. I'm afraid I can't enjoy it."
Ye An: "No way? It tastes OK to me..."
Ye An stopped talking halfway and suddenly covered his lips. Was it because he had eaten too much recently that he felt like vomiting?
Jin Li tactfully handed over a handkerchief. Ye An covered his mouth with the handkerchief and dry-heaved twice. Finally, he felt better. When he saw Xiangluan, he still wanted to eat her.
Doctor Zhang watched the emperor eat and vomit, his mouth twitching.
"Has the emperor been feeling unwell lately?"
Ye An said: "No! I can eat and sleep! It's just that sometimes I eat too much and feel like vomiting..."
Doctor Zhang stroked his beard and hinted meaningfully, "Your Majesty, it's like this for the first few months, and it will be fine in another two months."
Ye An: “…”
Ye An was stunned for a moment, then when he came to his senses he touched his stomach happily.
"Imperial Physician, what are you saying?!"
Doctor Zhang smiled and said, "Although it is still a short time, I am 80% sure about your pulse diagnosis this time. Your Majesty has taken good care of his body before, so there shouldn't be any problems with this pregnancy."
Doctor Zhang is a very skilled doctor, so it is generally said that there is an 80% chance that the patient is pregnant. Does Erzai know that his father has a hard time and suddenly become diligent?
Ye An could no longer hear what Doctor Zhang said afterwards, but it didn't matter, because he had a capable Jin Li by his side who would write down every detail for him.
Ye An was overjoyed, remembering that he did like sour food recently, and his taste was somewhat similar to that of King Dong Ling. For example, they both liked to eat Xiangluan. How come he just realized it now when it was so obvious?
"By the way, Doctor, if you suddenly like to eat angelica, does that mean you might be pregnant?"
Doctor Zhang smiled and said, "If they are from the royal family, then it is possible. At this time of year, the fragrant apricot should be put aside before eating."
Ye An thought of someone. Didn’t Cui Lan also buy a whole bag of angelica? It should be bought for Ye Zhi, right?
Ye An thought about many things in an instant and said, "Doctor Zhang, according to what you said, I saw Ye Zhi a few days ago, and he seemed to be pregnant too..."
Doctor Zhang was shocked. The emperor actually knew that Ye Zhi was not dead? He was well aware of Ye Zhi's situation and asked tentatively, "What does the emperor think?"
Ye An said: "What do you mean by how do you see it? If he is really pregnant, would I not let him give birth?"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Doctor Zhang was deeply moved and knelt down to tell him everything about Ye Zhi's recent situation.
"Is that so..." Ye An played with the pale yellow fruit in his hand and said indifferently, "If he needs it, you should do your best to help him. Since I asked you to keep it a secret, don't tell me that I know everything."
Doctor Zhang kowtowed several times on behalf of the King of Huainan.
Ye An was in a very good mood. It turned out that the fortune stick he drew in the Guanyin Temple still left him with some trauma. It was said that he would have trouble conceiving. It seemed that the fortune stick was a bit exaggerated. It was just that he had some troubles at the beginning. Now that he had a baby, what difficulties would he have in the future?
What's more, Mu Ci gave the best fortune to him!
Ye An grinned silently, and glanced at Jin Li from the corner of his eye. Jin Li knelt down and asked, "What does the emperor want?"
Ye An said: "I want to tell the queen in person about the pregnancy, so don't say anything."
Jin Li is Mu Ci's man. If he was not specifically reminded, he would have gone to pass on the news immediately. For such a big happy event, Ye An wanted to go and tell it himself.
The emperor had made it clear, and it was difficult for Jin Li to refuse.
Ye An got up and rushed to Zhaoyang Palace. Mu Ci was watching Dou Dou learning to walk.
Since Doudou learned to speak, he made rapid progress and soon showed signs of being able to walk. His wet nurse sewed him a pair of soft-soled tiger-head shoes. Wearing the beautiful tiger-head shoes, Doudou was supported by his wet nurse and moved his feet step by step.
The wet nurse teased and teased, and Dou Dou looked at his father Mu Ci who was not far away, broke away from the hand that was supporting him, and stumbled towards Mu Ci.
His feet were not used to walking yet, and he almost fell to the ground several times. He took a few short steps in a thrilling manner, which made people sweat for him. Dou Dou himself was completely unaware of it. He giggled, revealing a few small white teeth like rice grains, and threw himself tremblingly into Mu Ci's arms.
“Daddy!”
Doudou said happily. He can already recognize people. Although he spent the longest time with his wet nurse, due to the father-son relationship, his two fathers are still the closest to him.
Mu Ci hugged his soft body and tied a bib around his neck so that he could wipe it at any time because he had been drooling a lot recently. Mu Ci used the bib to wipe his son's drooling mouth.
In return, Doudou gave his father a kiss on the cheek.
At this time, Ye An came and witnessed the scene of loving father and filial son. Dou Dou heard the voice of another father and struggled to pounce on Ye An.
Ye An looked at his son staggering towards him in surprise. He was going to hug him when his son got closer, but when Dou Dou got very close, he suddenly remembered that he was carrying another baby in his belly.
He couldn't use force anymore now, so Ye An changed to gently hugging Dou Dou's round body and played a kissing game with Dou Dou for a while.
Doudou pouted. There were only kisses but no hugs. Doudou was unhappy!
The one-year-old child thought about it, opened his arms and said, "Daddy, hold me!"
Although he still spoke one word at a time, Doudou's meaning was clearly expressed.
Ye An couldn't hug him, so he still hugged his body, secretly glanced at Mu Ci, and said with a smile: "Daddy is pregnant with a brother or sister, so you can't hug him for the time being!"
"younger brother?"
Doudou tilted his head and blinked in confusion. He was currently the youngest child in the royal family and didn't understand what younger brothers and sisters were.
Mu Ci was stunned for a moment, then came forward excitedly.
"Xiao An, are you pregnant?"
"Yeah, it's finally here after all the nagging." Ye An smiled and touched his belly which was not yet visible, and said softly, "Brother Aci, we are going to be fathers again."
