"This Zhou Wencheng, although he is indecisive and somewhat pedantic, is also an upright person."
Zhou Wencheng's position as governor was actually arranged by Helian Jue in secret.
Therefore, he was not at all surprised by the imperial edict sent from the capital.
He sat cross-legged in front of Xie Yuan and reached out to massage her slightly sore legs.
Xie Yuan is already six months pregnant and her pregnancy is quite noticeable.
Xie Yuan is not an ignorant woman, but rather someone who grew up in an age of information overload.
Therefore, she knows all the common knowledge about scientific pregnancy.
For example, you shouldn't eat too much.
The saying that "one person eats for two" is actually incorrect.
Eating too much not only leads to a surge in weight, but can also cause gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, and other diseases.
These days are different from later generations. Even in later generations, if you contract these diseases, you can only control your diet.
Medications should not be used indiscriminately.
Besides the mother getting sick, an oversized fetus can also cause dystocia (difficult labor).
After Xie Yuan confirmed her pregnancy, she began to consciously control her diet.
However, once I got pregnant, my appetite became exceptionally good.
Especially at night, I always feel hungry, but I can't eat anything, or I eat too late, and I feel extremely uncomfortable and restless.
Xie Yuan could only have people prepare more high-protein foods such as dried meat and jerky.
Eat less carbohydrates, less fruit and snacks, and more meat. This will fill your stomach without making you too fat.
Scientific prenatal care also yields excellent results.
Four months have passed, and Xie Yuan has only gained weight in his belly; his limbs remain slender.
Moreover, she had a rosy complexion and was in excellent spirits, showing no signs of malnutrition.
Imperial Physician Feng and other physicians came to check her pulse regularly, and they all happily remarked that the princess's pulse was strong and the fetus was developing well!
Along with the good news, there was also some news that was hard to say whether it was good or bad—
The princess is suspected of being pregnant with twins.
Because the pulse is different from that of a woman who has only one child.
And Xie Yuan's belly is too big!
She's only six months along, but it feels like she's about to give birth.
Helian Jue, Xie Zhen, and Granny Zhao were all frightened.
Imagine a slender beauty carrying a huge belly.
She herself didn't realize it, but the people around her, even when they saw her walking normally, felt their hearts tremble.
Helian Jue simply handed over all the outside affairs to his subordinates and stayed at the palace.
As the months went by, Xie Yuan did not gain weight rapidly, but he still experienced edema and cramps.
My once slender and long calves are now swollen, and if you press them lightly with your finger, you'll leave a small indentation.
My legs would cramp from time to time while I was sleeping.
Xie Yuan would be woken up by the pain every time.
At first, Xie Yuan still considered the imperial power and the husband's authority, and advised Helian Jue to sleep in a separate room from him.
Helian Jue refused, "No! I want to stay by your side!"
Helian Jue not only disagreed with separate rooms and beds, but when Xie Yuan had cramps, he would wake up immediately and patiently massage her.
Granny Zhao and Ruyi, along with the other old servants of the Xie family, were all stunned.
It was deeply moving—
Even an ordinary man wouldn't take care of his pregnant wife like this.
Helian Jue, however, was no ordinary person.
He was once the crown prince and is now a first-rank prince.
In Yuezhou and Lingnan, he held considerable military power and occupied most of the territory.
He's a total local tyrant.
This man, who held such a high position and great power, was willing to serve his wife.
In this day and age, it's already quite rare for a man not to sleep with other women while his wife is pregnant.
As for His Highness the King of Yue, he is simply the epitome of manhood!
Our young lady is so lucky to have married such a good man.
While wiping away their tears, Granny Zhao and the others secretly rejoiced.
With a reliable husband, Xie Yuan's life during her pregnancy became increasingly comfortable.
She also told Helian Jue about prenatal education for future generations.
Helian Jue: ...Reading to the baby in my belly?
Hmm, that's a good idea.
Although Helian Jue was very certain that his and A Yuan's child would not be too stupid.
But the fourth son and he himself were both sons of a sage, and the sage was naturally wise and powerful.
Consort Cui, the birth mother of the fourth prince, doesn't seem to be a fool either.
They still managed to produce a fourth child, a complete simpleton.
Therefore, no matter how outstanding the parents are, there is always the possibility of "what if" situations.
Even if you're clumsy, it's okay!
Even a slow bird can start flying early!
With this in mind, Helian Jue read to the child in her womb every day.
He would also discuss military and political matters with Xie Yuan without any reservations.
The baby in my belly is also doing great.
It actually gives a "response" from time to time.
Sure enough, just as Helian Jue was talking about Zhou Wencheng's appointment and removal, a little foot bulged out on Xie Yuan's stomach.
Perhaps it was because the child was strong, or perhaps it was because Xie Yuan's belly was thin, but Helian Jue could clearly see the shape of a foot.
"This child seems to really enjoy listening to government affairs."
Xie Yuan looked at the little feet on his belly and couldn't help but laugh.
She herself didn't realize that as her belly grew bigger, a maternal glow seemed to appear on her face.
The Xie Yuan of the past had already accepted his fate—he had transmigrated, so he would live well in this fictional dynasty.
However, she still lacks a connection to this world.
Even Helian Jue was someone she liked, but not someone she loved more than her life.
It wasn't until she became pregnant, and until she felt the baby move again and again, that Xie Yuan developed a deeper and closer connection with the world.
She is no longer alone.
She now has family members who are connected to her by blood!
Xie Yuan has become less "perfect" and more humane and down-to-earth.
Helian Jue clearly sensed Xie Yuan's change. Although he felt a little jealous, he still credited the unborn child with a good deed.
At least he (or she) is of some use; it wasn't a waste of his (or her's) life!
For the sake of making A-Yuan a better person, he is willing to like this child (or n children) a little more.
“My child with A-Yuan is naturally different from those ordinary people.”
While continuing to rub his legs, Helian Jue said smugly, "For example, that fool, the fourth son, I heard that Xu Shi is also pregnant."
"Their children are definitely not as good as ours!"
Xie Yuan: ...This kind of comparison isn't very good.
Although Xie Yuan also believed that his own child was the best in the world, he would never belittle other people's children.
Whose child isn't their parents' darling?
"Your Highness, now that the imperial decree has been issued and Zhou Wencheng's promotion to governor is a joyous occasion, shouldn't we, as his former master, also present him with a grand gift?"
Xie Yuan didn't want to comment on other people's children, so he changed the subject.
"A grand gift?"
Helian Jue's beautiful peach blossom eyes sparkled, and the corners of his lips turned up slightly. "It's time to give him a big gift!"
We also need to appease people in the capital.
A Yuan is pregnant. In recent years, Helian Jue has wanted to keep a low profile so as not to be constantly schemed against by the capital!
