Chapter 1179 He stopped vomiting after a while.
A while ago, Lin Yuesha only felt slightly unwell, so she didn't think about it and deliberately forgot that she was pregnant.
As morning sickness set in, her body's reactions increasingly confirmed to Lin Yuesha that she was pregnant.
"Isn't it a bit early to prepare a delivery room now?"
Lin Yuesha was a beat slow to react, and it took her a while to realize what was happening before she asked.
"It's not early."
A quick calculation reveals that Lin Yuesha is currently about two months pregnant, which is still a long way from delivery. However, considering the risk of premature birth in multiple pregnancies, she has high requirements for the delivery room.
Qi Heng is extremely concerned about this matter and is very likely to undertake large-scale construction for it.
"Sister Yue Sha, let me calculate the time. You should give birth around March next year, but there is a high chance it will be earlier."
If it happens to be the second month of the lunar calendar, when the spring chill is still in the air and the capital city is still a bit cold, it is best to lay down a floor mat in the room to keep it dry and at a constant temperature.
The delivery room should be spacious, bright, and well-ventilated. For Lin Yuesha's health, she should have at least two or three months of postpartum confinement.
"Have you thought about it? You have three little babies who are crying for food. Are you planning to breastfeed them yourself or hire a wet nurse?"
In the capital, most wealthy families hired wet nurses to feed their children, which made the little ones closer to their wet nurses and more distant from their biological mothers.
Having realized this, many families have stopped hiring wet nurses.
"I plan to breastfeed, but with three little ones fighting over it, I don't know if that will be enough."
Lin Yuesha was not ignorant of common sense. Back in the fishing village, when Liu the locksmith's wife gave birth prematurely, the baby was fed with great care, and Lin Yuesha had also helped with that.
Breastfeeding has many benefits, but seeing Liu the locksmith's wife drinking greasy and tasteless pig's feet soup to increase her milk supply, Lin Yuesha couldn't help but feel acid reflux when she thought of that scene.
"Therefore, just in case, we need to prepare two wet nurses with clean backgrounds and good health."
The wet nurse for Qi Heng's offspring must be extraordinary; she must be an honest, upright woman without any ulterior motives.
These are all things that must be considered in advance and decisions made as early as possible.
Lin Yuesha adopted all of Yan Yan's constructive suggestions, and fearing she might forget them, she wrote them down one by one.
"Sister Yue Sha, I'd like to discuss something with you."
Yan Yan paused for a moment before expressing her concerns.
Lin Yuesha's triplets pregnancy was extremely difficult. Yan Yan was not yet very skilled in cesarean section, so she wanted to travel and practice medicine before Lin Yuesha gave birth, to treat patients and accumulate more experience.
Even if she delivers babies for women a few more times, once she has experience with Lin Yuesha, she won't panic as much.
The daily pulse diagnosis can be conducted by other imperial physicians instead.
As for morning sickness, Yan Yan didn't have any good solutions.
"When the time comes, the vomiting will stop after a while."
Before leaving, Yan Yan held Lin Yuesha's hand and comforted her.
"Husband, are my uncle and cousin still alive?"
After finally managing to invite them to the mansion for a meal, Lin Yuesha had no choice but to leave early, leaving only Prince Luo and Xu Da, who would probably feel a bit awkward.
"Not here."
The lady of the house was not feeling well, and out of consideration for Lin Yuesha's feelings, Xu Da and Prince Luo could not indulge in a hearty meal.
"The banquet was perfectly fine..."
Lin Yuesha looked helpless. According to Doctor Yan, her morning sickness would continue for quite some time.
As a woman becomes pregnant, her body becomes heavier, and as the months progress, she experiences more discomfort.
"My wife, take care of your health first."
Qi Heng sat down beside Lin Yuesha, gently stroking her hand on his face, and asked, "What would you like to eat?"
As for the heartless Prince Luo and Xu Da, they're already in deep trouble.
Upon hearing that Lin Yuesha couldn't stand the smell of the braised meat, the Prince of Luo unceremoniously took away the jar containing the old brine and went to Xu Da's villa to drink and have fun.
"It really sounds like something my cousin would do."
Lin Yuesha leaned against Qi Heng's chest, finding a comfortable position.
After vomiting several times, she is now listless and weak, and just wants to stay cooped up like this.
"My wife..."
Lin Yuesha rubbed against him repeatedly, and Qi Heng looked incredibly embarrassed.
Once a man starts eating meat, he wants to eat it every meal. However, he was warned by Granny Fang that even though the meat was right in front of him, he could only swallow his words and dared not cross the line.
"Imperial Physician Yan said you want to eat something sour and spicy, so I'll go to the kitchen and make it for you."
Qi Heng straightened Lin Yuesha's body, then stood up, beckoned Qingxing and Qi'er to come in and serve him, and left in a hurry and disheveled manner.
An hour later, Lin Yuesha ate cold rabbit and spicy chicken nuggets, along with a plate of pickled cucumbers, which were sour and spicy and appetizing. She also drank a bowl of porridge and finally felt a little better.
To prepare the delivery room and postpartum care area, Qi Heng did not choose the palace, but planned to renovate the courtyard he built in Chenjia Village in the capital.
Deep within the palace, the night was utterly silent, especially in the harem. The women who had remained from the previous dynasty had long since been sent away, and the stillness of the night was rather eerie.
Qi Heng disliked cold, lifeless places where the sun never shines and it felt like being in prison.
Furthermore, a woman's temperament may change slightly during the period from pregnancy to childbirth, and she may become more sensitive, so he must try his best to take care of his wife's emotions.
Lin Yuesha was in confinement after childbirth, and he took care of her. He also asked his mother-in-law, Madam Chen, to accompany her. She passed the first hurdle safely.
Qi Heng was very thoughtful. No matter how busy he was, he insisted on preparing snacks for Lin Yuesha every day and washing her feet and gently massaging her calves every night.
The days were almost identical until the Mid-Autumn Festival on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, which was also the most anticipated ceremony for the people of Xinqi to be crowned empress.
After the morning court session, a grand ceremony was held to confer the title of Empress, during which all civil and military officials had to offer sacrifices to Heaven again before the altar.
Inside the Qi residence, lanterns and decorations were everywhere, and the servants, dressed in new clothes, displayed their joy in every gesture.
"Miss, from now on we should address Her Majesty the Empress."
Qingxing, beaming with joy, held up the Empress's court robes and knelt down to help Lin Yuesha dress.
"Stop being cheeky, it's just a name."
The old monk at Yutan Temple once said that she was destined to marry a nobleman, and Lin Yuesha had longed for it. But who could have imagined that the person she married would be the most noble one?
Sitting in front of the dressing table, several skillful maids applied peony flowers between Lin Yuesha's eyebrows, which, combined with the bright red and gold-embroidered empress's court dress, made her look even more elegant.
"Please take a look, is there anything you're dissatisfied with?"
Granny Fang tugged at the corner of her mouth, trying her best to appear happy.
The Empress's golden crown was too heavy. Qi Heng was worried that Lin Yuesha, who was pregnant, would not be able to bear such a heavy thing, so he specially found a skilled craftsman to hollow out the golden crown, leaving only a layer of gold leaf.
Gold leaf is so thin and light that it weighs almost nothing, and it can easily be twisted or deformed if handled carelessly.
This daunting task fell on Granny Fang's shoulders, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
"It's acceptable."
Lin Yuesha nodded, her mind only focused on getting through the solemn ceremony before her. She was worried about morning sickness and hadn't even had a sip of porridge that morning.
