The two children finally got a satisfactory answer, and they even ate a little more for lunch.
Li Chenjiao talked more than the two children. She didn't know if she was hungry, but she was definitely thirsty.
Now that the maids all know that Li Chenjiao is pregnant, seeing that she didn't eat much at lunch, they half-persuaded and half-coaxed her to eat another half bowl.
Then, Li Chenjiao ate too much.
Li Chenjiao originally wanted to take a nap, but the two children were unusually energetic. She didn't know who started it, but the two children were rummaging through their old favorite toys in their room.
The wet nurses had packed all these little trinkets very well; the Second Princess even had a whole extra trunk of trinkets than the Fourth Prince, with countless different kinds of items.
Finally, the two children put their heads together and picked out a huge box, which they proudly presented to Xiao Luzi and the others, asking them to carry it to Li Chenjiao.
Li Chenjiao wasn't going to spoil the fun. She took out a clay rattle from the box and started playing with it. She thought for a moment and said, "I remember this was given to us by your father when our Aman was just one year old. You liked it back then and even took a bite out of it. There's still a tooth mark on it now."
As she spoke, she bounced the small ceramic ball, about the size of her palm, which was quite large for the Second Princess at that time.
Li Chenjiao couldn't say she remembered everything in the box, but she could still tell which ones belonged to Aman and which ones belonged to Wanwan.
She and the children looked around and then realized that there were so many things.
That's great! In the end, Li Chenjiao listened to the two children and put away the box of trinkets, keeping them as a gift for the little one in her belly.
The little guy wasn't even born yet, but his older siblings were already preparing to welcome him.
Oh, his father doesn't even know he exists yet.
Li Chenjiao took a nap with her two children. Li Chenjiao slept next to Aman on one side of the soft couch, while the little girl slept on the inside. The two of them were just right to sleep on one side. On the other side, Wanwan hugged his little horse, which was a large horse made by Green Plum in the back. It was half the size of the current Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince could only fall asleep by hugging his little horse every day.
The mother and her two children were all sleeping soundly.
However, Li Chenjiao was dreaming again, a dream that was neither too long nor too short.
It wasn't a nightmare at all; Li Chenjiao woke up laughing so hard her stomach hurt.
In her dream, she took a nap as usual. When she woke up, the Fourth Master had just returned to the East Courtyard and saw her belly, which was several feet as big as a football. Then, Li Chenjiao woke up laughing.
Even after she woke up, she could still remember the bewildered and surprised expression on Fourth Master's face. If Li Chenjiao hadn't been in her dream, Fourth Master would have tripped and fallen flat on his face.
After Li Chenjiao finished laughing, she noticed that the second princess on the inside was obediently smiling at her. The little girl was sitting cross-legged with a book on her back, obviously because her mother was still asleep, so she didn't go out to play.
Turning my head, I saw that Wanwan, who was on the opposite tatami mat, had indeed disappeared.
Li Chenjiao thought about it and realized that her smile just now shouldn't have scared Aman. So she bent down and moved closer to Aman to read the book together and listen to Aman tell her the story.
Before Aman had even finished telling the story, Qiu Hu came in to announce that Fourth Master had arrived.
Li Chenjiao asked first what time it was.
In summer, it gets dark late, and the sky outside is still a dim yellow.
Qiu Hu answered, arriving at the residence half an hour earlier than the usual time Fourth Master returned.
Li Chenjiao got up and got out of bed with Aman, but when they went to the outer room, they didn't see Fourth Master: "Where is Master?"
Qiu Hu wasn't seen at this moment, so Qiu Ci answered: "As soon as the master arrived, he asked for hot water to be prepared for a bath. The master has already gone into the clean room, and Eunuch Su went in to serve him."
Li Chenjiao said "Oh," which was rather strange.
Where did Fourth Master come from? Why did he go to the washroom first instead of coming back?
She was a little worried, but she didn't go to the washroom to check: "Let the small kitchen prepare the meal..." she said, yawning.
The Fourth Prince quickly finished his bath, and when he came out of the clean room, dinner had already been set out in the flower hall.
During dinner, Li Chenjiao didn't rush to tell anyone about her good news. She ate dinner as usual with Fourth Master and the children, but her appetite was still not very good.
This made the Fourth Master look at her several times, but he didn't ask her anything.
After dinner, the two children went to take a bath, and Li Chenjiao and Fourth Master sat facing each other on the couch in the outer room and talked.
"Did the imperial physician come to see her today?" Fourth Prince asked, while also looking at Li Chenjiao's complexion. After confirming that Li Chenjiao's complexion was alright, Fourth Prince nodded slightly.
Li Chenjiao already knew that it was the Fourth Prince who had sent the imperial physician. She rested her chin on her hand, her smile widening slightly: "Yes. The imperial physician said..."
She deliberately dragged out the last syllable to keep the Fourth Master in suspense.
The Fourth Prince, who had been looking down at his book, waited for a while but didn't hear anything more, so he looked up at Li Chenjiao.
Before Fourth Master could say anything, Li Chenjiao had already gotten off the bed and come to him. She squeezed onto the soft couch, said nothing, and silently wrapped her arms around Fourth Master's waist.
The Fourth Prince raised his hand, tossed the scroll onto the small table beside him, and looked down to see Li Chenjiao's expression: "What's wrong? What did the imperial physician say?"
With his wife present, the Fourth Prince subconsciously thought of some unpleasant things. He even regretted telling Li Chenjiao after the imperial physician had examined her pulse...
Fourth Master vaguely heard a sob in Li Chenjiao's voice.
"No matter what I say later, you are not allowed to move," Li Chenjiao said again.
Fourth Master hummed in agreement and put his hand on Li Chenjiao's shoulder: "Okay, you go first..." At this moment, his mind was already full of how to comfort Li Chenjiao.
Li Chenjiao's health has always been good, and Fourth Master completely forgot about this matter at this moment.
"Master, I'm pregnant..." Li Chenjiao finally looked up, showing no sign of sadness, only a beaming smile.
"Even if you're pregnant, it's alright. Tomorrow, I'll get a plaque and ask the head of the Imperial Medical Academy to come and examine you again. There are so many famous doctors in the capital; nothing will happen... Hmm, hmm?"
The Fourth Master suddenly stopped talking.
The last two "hmm"s, the first one reassuring and the second one filled with doubt.
Wait, what Li Chenjiao just said was...
Fourth Master involuntarily released his grip on Li Chenjiao's shoulders, but then suddenly didn't know where to put his hands.
Li Chenjiao found the changes in Fourth Master's expression quite amusing.
As she watched, she couldn't help but smile.
