Chapter 125 Fetal Movement
Du Wanchun reached out and touched her belly. "I don't feel anything yet. Maybe it's still early in the pregnancy."
Aunt Zhou nodded. "Wait a little longer, it will be night soon."
Du Wanchun looked down at her belly, her face full of anticipation for the baby inside.
Aunt Zhou strode into the house and, taking advantage of the Third Prince's absence, cooked a bowl of egg drop soup for Du Wanchun. She added small glutinous rice balls to the soup and then some brown sugar.
"Wanchun, come and try this, your mother made you brown sugar eggs." She smiled and placed the bowl in front of Du Wanchun.
Du Wanchun quickly took it from her hands, "Mother, didn't I just have breakfast?"
Aunt Zhou bent down and blew on it for her. "Pregnant women need to eat five or six meals a day. In a little while, I'll make some meat buns for you."
Speaking of which, Du Wanchun was actually quite hungry. She picked up a meatball with a spoon, took a bite, and found it sweet, chewy, and delicious.
She quickly ate two more bites.
Fortunately, the bowl wasn't very big, and Du Wanchun didn't feel full after eating it.
Seeing that she was enjoying her food, Aunt Zhou quickly turned around and went inside to make steamed buns.
After Du Wanchun finished eating, she got up and put the bowl back in the kitchen.
Today, Zhou Ruiyuan went to General Mo's residence in Cheng'an County.
It was said that General Mo wanted to see him.
Du Wanchun didn't know what they talked about, and Zhou Ruiyuan didn't return until dark.
When Zhou Ruiyuan returned, Du Wanchun had already finished washing up and was lying in bed.
Zhou Ruiyuan tiptoed carefully to her side, squatted down, brushed aside the stray hairs on her forehead, and gently kissed her forehead.
Du Wanchun felt a chill on her forehead and quickly opened her eyes, only to see Zhou Ruiyuan's handsome face.
Before she could even speak, Zhou Ruiyuan kissed her lips, rolled onto the bed, and pulled her into his arms.
They said that since she became pregnant, the two of them had not been intimate for several months.
Zhou Ruiyuan has always been very restrained.
Perhaps I'd been holding it in for too long, because I couldn't resist.
The warmth of his lips made Du Wanchun momentarily lose her composure, and she quickly pushed him away, "Wait, child..."
Zhou Ruiyuan kissed her earlobe again and whispered in her ear, "I asked the doctor, and he said there won't be any problems."
Du Wanchun blushed, her heart pounding wildly.
Then Zhou Ruiyuan pulled down the bed curtains and kissed her lips again.
The night was exceptionally long, and Du Wanchun was still asleep when the next morning arrived.
Zhou Ruiyuan got up and used a handkerchief to wipe her face.
Du Wanchun slowly opened her eyes, buried her face in the quilt, and exposed a large part of the back of her neck.
There were many red marks on the fair back of her neck.
Zhou Ruiyuan gently touched it with his hand, "General Cao told me about returning to the palace yesterday."
Du Wanchun peeked out from under the covers and looked at him. "Husband, if you return to the palace, will you be the Crown Prince? And the Emperor?"
Zhou Ruiyuan pulled her into his arms and gently kissed her forehead. "Don't worry, no matter what my status is in the future, my wife can only be you."
In the Xuan Yue Kingdom, it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines, and for the king of a country, it is even more common to have three palaces and six courtyards.
Du Wanchun was slightly touched and was about to speak.
Zhou Ruiyuan continued, "Wanchun, I will only marry one wife and never take a concubine in my life. Even if I return to the palace, you will be the only one in the three palaces and six courtyards."
Du Wanchun was taken aback, then turned around and hugged him tightly.
Zhou Ruiyuan is not someone who makes promises often, but once he does, he always keeps them.
Du Wanchun trusted him completely in this regard.
The two embraced and closed their eyes for a short rest.
Du Wanchun suddenly felt something throbbing in her lower abdomen. She opened her eyes wide and exclaimed in surprise, "Husband! The baby seems to be moving!"
Zhou Ruiyuan stiffened, then immediately released her. "The baby moved?"
Du Wanchun placed her hand on her lower abdomen and felt the slight throbbing again. "Hmm, try putting your hand on it."
Zhou Ruiyuan was thrilled to become a father for the first time. He reached out his slightly trembling hand and carefully placed it on her belly.
The baby in her belly seemed to sense its father and kicked its leg.
Zhou Ruiyuan immediately felt a slight pulsation in his hand.
At that moment, he suddenly felt a lump in his throat, too excited to speak, "He...he really moved..."
Du Wanchun laughed when she saw Zhou Ruiyuan speaking haltingly.
