Chapter 142 Are you still scaring me like this? Qi Buchen is full of affection...
Qi Buchen's affection was interrupted by his questions. He glared at him quietly, looked at the servants around him, and pulled him into the house: "It's cold outside, let's talk inside."
After having Honghui taken away to play, leaving only those in the know in the room, Qi Buchen finally explained to the anxious Yinzhen, "I don't know either. This baby has had a particularly good appetite since it was confirmed. If they don't eat for two hours, they get very hungry. We asked Doctor Fu to come and see, but we can't be sure since the pregnancy is still young. However, Doctor Fu said there's a 50% chance it's twins."
Yinzhen's eyes widened. Qi Buchen laughed and said, "The remaining 50% is just the one in his stomach that eats a lot. He must be a big eater."
Yinzhen simply ignored the second half of the sentence and tightened his grip on Fu Jin's hand slightly, "Are they really twins?"
"Tsk." Qi Buchen pinched him dissatisfiedly, "I said I wasn't sure, were you listening to me carefully?"
Yinzhen, however, didn't care at all. His mind was completely occupied by the word "twins". He looked at Qi Buchen's belly with eyes full of excitement: "Twins, haha, twins, twins are good...hiss..."
Qi Buchen pinched his flesh: "What's so good about it! Do you know how difficult it is to give birth to twins? You are happy, but I have to suffer!"
Yinzhen was so happy that he didn't care about being twisted. He continued to laugh foolishly: "I will suffer for you, I will suffer for you!"
"Bah!" Qi Buchen spat at him, "You only have a nice mouth!"
Yinzhen hugged her and showered her with sweet words, finally coaxing her into submission after a long while: "By the way, I brought you something nice, I guarantee you'll like it!"
"What?" Qi Buchen was curious.
At Yinzhen's command, Su Peisheng and his men brought in two boxes and opened them.
Qi Buchen took a look and was a little disappointed. He muttered, "That's it?"
There are some wooden dolls in the box.
Honghui, who saw the opportunity, ran over and smiled: "Father, is this a gift for Honghui? Honghui likes it very much. Thank you, Father!"
Yinzhen, however, ruthlessly poured a basin of cold water on him: "No, this is for your mother."
Honghui: ...I want to cry.
"Why are you teasing him?" Qi Buchen scolded. In her opinion, these things were for Honghui to play with.
But Yinzhen said seriously: "I'm not teasing him, Su Peisheng, take out that dog and show it to Fu Jin."
Qi Buchen's curiosity was piqued again. If Yinzhen could say this, then it meant that there must be something different about this fake dog.
Su Peisheng placed the wooden dog on the ground. Somehow, the wooden dog stood up and made a sound: "Woof woof woof!"
Honghui was startled and ran over to hug his father's thighs.
Su Peisheng fiddled with the dog again, and the dog stopped barking and lay back down.
Qi Buchen's eyes sparkled, and he asked excitedly, "Where did this come from?"
Yinzhen glanced at her with a smug look, picked up the Qiao, and refused to explain to her. He ordered Su Peisheng, "Show the others to Fu Jin as well."
Next, Qi Buchen saw a small wooden figure that could walk automatically on a slope, a Ruiguang mirror that looked like a searchlight, a tester that could measure heat and cold, and self-drawings of people, horses, and animals that could move on their own...
Qi Buchen's eyes lit up when he saw these things. These things were similar to some of the five products widely used in later generations. If the person who made these could be found, with time, it might be possible for these inventions to be born in China.
"Where are the people who did this?" Qi Buchen stared at Yinzhen with a sharp gaze, as if he would not give up until he got an explanation. "Don't say you didn't find him!"
Honghui no longer had the initial fear and now followed Su Peisheng to the outer room to play with those novel "toys".
Yinzhen sighed: "Alas, I did find it, but what a pity."
He sighed deeply, which made Qi Buchen extremely anxious. He pinched the flesh on his arm and threatened, “Tell me quickly.”
"Fujin, you're really becoming less and less gentle." Without anyone around, Yinzhen put on a resentful look and complained, "I've been away for so long, and when I finally came back, not only did you not care about me, you even abused me!"
I learned the term "domestic violence" from Qi Buchen.
Qi Buchen gritted his teeth and let go of his meat. Okay, let's act, right? Who doesn't know how to act?
"You're still blaming me!" She was about to cry. "Ever since I found out I might be pregnant with twins, I've been so worried. I'm afraid of miscarriage, premature birth, and not being able to leave the delivery room... well..."
Yinzhen, who was pretending, initially watched his wife act, but when he heard what she said didn't sound like her, he quickly covered her mouth and scolded her, "How can you say such things so casually! Bah!" He then clasped his hands together and bowed to all sides, "She is pregnant and is just imagining things. Please don't pay any attention to her, gods and Buddhas."
It was originally just acting, but as he spoke, Qi Buchen felt wronged and couldn't help but shed tears: "I looked forward to your return day and night. But when you came back, you didn't care about me, you only asked about my belly. You were so happy when you knew you were pregnant with twins, and didn't think about the danger at all... I... I... Woo..."
Yinzhen was anxious: "I'm not! I'm not unconcerned about you. I asked about your stomach because I was worried about your health!" But he felt a little guilty about the twins, and argued, "Twins... I really didn't know about twins before, and I don't know how dangerous it is... But don't worry! Tomorrow... No, I'll ask Doctor Fu to come over soon and understand the situation of the twins clearly! Stop crying, your eyes are getting swollen, and it won't be good soon..."
"You still think I'm ugly?!" Qi Buchen was overwhelmed with grief and cried even louder.
"No! That's not what I meant!" Yinzhen was extremely anxious. He didn't understand how things had turned out like this?
Qi Buchen's crying startled the outside. Honghui ran in first, hugged Qi Buchen's legs and jumped up and down: "Mother, mother, what's wrong with you? Mother, are you feeling uncomfortable? Mother, don't cry, Honghui will comfort you!"
Baozhu and others also followed in. They could clearly see that the concubine must have been made to cry by her master, but they did not dare to blame their master. They could only anxiously surround her and comfort her.
"Fujin, please don't cry. It will make you lose your mind and give you a headache."
Qi Buchen felt very embarrassed to be surrounded by such a large group of people. The grievance she felt quickly disappeared. She covered her eyes in shame and said sullenly, "I'm fine. You guys go out first."
When Baozhu and the others saw her stop, they probably understood that she was embarrassed and quickly withdrew. However, Honghui refused to be carried out no matter what. Qi Buchen said a few words to persuade them but failed.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Honghui was still hugging her legs, tears in his eyes. If Qi Buchen hadn't stopped just now, he would have cried at the top of his lungs.
Yinzhen was frightened by this beating. Seeing that she stopped, he didn't dare to say anything and carefully handed her a handkerchief.
Qi Buchen glanced at him, took it and wiped it, then dealt with Honghui first: "It's okay, didn't Mommy tell you that I'm pregnant? Just now, the baby kicked Mommy's stomach when she was stretching. Mommy cried because it hurt."
Honghui curled his lips and said, "The baby is not well behaved. Mother, we don't want him anymore!"
"That won't work." Qi Buchen said patiently, "The baby didn't mean it, it's just that he's too small now. He's only this...this big..."
Qi Buchen wasn't quite sure how big a three-month-old baby was, so he roughly raised his fist and said, "So you can't blame him. He doesn't know that stretching will hurt Mother. Didn't Father teach you that ignorance is not a crime? That's how babies are, understand?"
Honghui nodded reluctantly: "I understand." Then he asked curiously, "Is the baby so small?"
"Yes." Qi Buchen gestured again, "When he grows up to this size, Honghui will be able to see him. During the time he grows up, mother will have to eat more, sleep more, and not exert herself too much. This will also mean less time for Honghui. Honghui won't blame mother, will he?"
Mother had said a lot of things like this recently. Honghui pouted and nodded: "Honghui is sensible and won't make mother tired."
"Our Honghui is so good. Mother loves him the most." Qi Buchen touched Honghui's head. "Okay, let's go out and play. Give all the things that Father brought back to Honghui."
"Really?" Honghui's eyes lit up. Children are easy to coax.
Qi Buchen nodded with a smile: "Really, they are all Honghui's."
"Oh~" Honghui cheered and ran out to see his baby.
Honghui also left, leaving only the couple in the room. Qi Buchen lowered his eyelids, touched his belly, and said nothing.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Yinzhen touched his nose and moved closer: "...are you really angry?"
Qi Buchen was actually feeling embarrassed. The energy she had just now came out of nowhere. In fact, Yinzhen had done nothing wrong in this matter. She guessed that this was because of her endocrine disorder and emotional instability.
But if you ask her to apologize now, well, she can't bring herself to do it.
"Don't be angry, I really didn't mean that." Yinzhen touched her tentatively, and when he saw that she was not rejected, he boldly hugged her. "I admit that I was only concerned with my happiness just now and didn't consider the hardship you went through during your pregnancy. I apologize, okay? But I really don't think you're ugly. How could you be ugly? In my eyes, you are as beautiful as Xi Shi, as beautiful as the fish sinking to the bottom of the water and the geese falling to the ground..."
...These two words are really unscrupulous.
Qi Buchen covered Yinzhen's mouth. She didn't know whether what he said was right or not, but she felt guilty listening to it.
"I'm not... angry." Qi Buchen blushed and said with some shame, "I just... I just suddenly felt uncontrollable. It's not your fault, it's my fault..."
Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief. He had also experienced the mood swings that his wife experienced when she was pregnant with Honghui, so he could certainly understand. "It's okay, it's okay. As long as you're not angry, that's good. If you are angry, it's okay. Just remember to take it out on me. Don't cry by yourself. You'll hurt your eyes if you cry."
Qi Buchen pouted and his eyes turned red after hearing what he said.
Yinzhen's heartbeat almost stopped in fear: "...What did I say wrong?"
"Yinzhen, you are so nice." Qi Buchen threw himself into his arms.
"...You really are! I thought it was nothing." Yinzhen, as if he had just survived a disaster, patted the person in his arms, "I'm fine, why are you scaring me like this?"
