Seeing her like this, he felt so distressed that he sent all kinds of supplements that were good for pregnancy and fetal health into the Jade Palace like a stream of water.
Every day, as soon as the court was over, he would come to the Jade Palace early to accompany her.
Ever since she became pregnant, Li Shushu has been feeling pain all over her body and has leg cramps.
Gu Jingyan sometimes massaged her shoulders, sometimes rubbed her legs, and he never let the maid do it, but tried to do it himself.
The difficult days finally passed faster with someone's caring care.
By October, the weather turned colder and Li Shushu's morning sickness finally passed.
When the imperial physician came to take their pulses again, he told them that they should exercise more during this period. When they have nothing to do, they can go out for a walk or a stroll. This will be beneficial for the later delivery and will help them recover faster after delivery.
The new father Gu Jingyan listened at the side, nodded repeatedly, and wrote it down in his little notebook.
From then on, they had a regular activity: after dinner every day, they would stroll in the Imperial Garden for half an hour and then return to the Jade Palace to rest.
Ever since Li Shushu became pregnant, Gu Jingyan would come to the Jade Palace every day to see her and accompany her, but he rarely stayed overnight in the Jade Palace.
Every night after watching her go to bed, he would go back to the Yangxin Palace to rest.
It was because Li Shushu was too tempting to Gu Jingyan. He was afraid that if they slept in the same bed together, he might lose control and hurt Shuer and the baby in her belly...
Furthermore, every time he went to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, she repeatedly emphasized to him: With this child that he had finally conceived, he must exercise extreme restraint and not act recklessly. If he caused a miscarriage or something like that, she would certainly not forgive him!
Gu Jingyan knew that the Queen Mother was implying something about him. The miscarriages of the first two concubines had nothing to do with him!
But since the Queen Mother had said so, and he had no confidence in his ability to control himself in front of Shu'er, he had no choice but to keep some distance from her physically.
…
One day in late October, after dinner, Gu Jingyan accompanied Li Shushu for a walk in the Imperial Garden again.
As winter approaches, it is still a bit cold in the Imperial Garden at night.
Gu Jingyan asked Zhen'er to dress Li Shushu warmly, but he still felt it was not enough. Before leaving, he also gave her a cloak that covered her from head to toe, for fear that she would catch a cold.
That was not enough. Along the way, he held her hand tightly, and from time to time he would put it to his mouth to blow on it and rub it for her. If he felt her hand was not warm enough, he would simply hold it in his arms and cover it.
Perhaps because there weren't many outsiders present, he had lost some of his pretentious demeanor...
Li Shushu: ...Next time, remember to ask Zhen'er and Zhu'er to take out the hand warmer and use it!
Although it is early winter, the osmanthus flowers in the garden still emit a faint fragrance.
The two of them strolled slowly for a while, and Li Shushu suddenly wanted to eat osmanthus cake.
Since the fetus was three months old, her appetite has improved. She wants to eat some strange things from time to time, and her mental state is surprisingly good.
Although this osmanthus cake is not a rare food, it is not easy to eat ready-made food in the middle of the night.
For a moment, the small kitchen of the Jade Palace was brightly lit in the middle of the night.
Seeing that she was still very energetic and not as listless as before, Gu Jingyan was not in a hurry to leave. He just asked someone to burn the floor heating more vigorously and stayed there to chat with her leisurely.
After a busy day, it was almost midnight when the osmanthus cake was served.
Li Shushu picked up the cutlery and ate a small piece, but felt it was a bit greasy. He couldn't eat much, so he stopped eating.
Gu Jingyan: ...
He smiled dotingly and shook his head, asked the servants to pack up their things, and after settling her down, he prepared to get up and return to the Yangxin Palace.
He was originally sitting on the bed watching her sleep, but when he stood up, someone gently pulled his sleeve.
He turned around, and Li Shushu blinked her watery little doe eyes and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty..., can you stay here with me tonight? You see, it's been a long time since you slept with me. Besides, it's snowing outside, and the roads are cold and slippery. I don't want you to leave!"
Sure enough, just as they were eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, they saw the first light snow of the year falling outside. They opened the door and looked...
When the tiny snowflakes fluttered down, her lively smile seemed to be able to cure all worries!
At this moment, her voice was soft and sticky, revealing an irresistible temptation.
"I am reluctant to leave Shu'er..., but..." Gu Jingyan struggled internally, and his feet suddenly felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't move them at all.
The body is the most honest!
"I promise that I will sleep well and never move around, so as not to delay His Majesty from attending the morning court tomorrow!" She raised her little hand and actually made a gesture of swearing.
Gu Jingyan's heart softened. He put her hand back into the quilt and said, "Well, I'll do as you say."
Anyway, the imperial physician also said that it is not completely impossible to have sex after the fetus is three months old, just be careful.
It was really hard for him to endure these days!
After tidying up, he turned over and got on the bed. She pulled one of his arms and rested it on her head as usual, blinking her eyes and looking at him.
"What's wrong?" Gu Jingyan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her.
"Your Majesty is still as handsome as ever," she answered softly.
He smiled, in a good mood, "Be good, go to bed, it's getting late."
"Yeah." She closed her eyes obediently.
A familiar fragrance wafted through his nose, and he felt at ease. He closed his eyes and prepared to fall asleep.
But within a few seconds, he felt something soft and elastic covering his lips. It was a very familiar and longed-for touch...
Moist, soft and elastic, with a hint of sweetness and coolness. The lips were still trembling slightly, but the little tongue couldn't wait to squeeze in...
He suddenly opened his eyes, tilted his head slightly to avoid her, and said in a hoarse voice with a trembling Adam's apple, "Shu'er..., have you forgotten what you just promised me? You're provoking me, do you know that?"
Li Shushu smiled cunningly, closed her eyes, and trembled her eyelashes: Even if she breaks her promise today and offends me, so what?
She knew very well that she had taken the Dragon Pregnancy Pill and the baby was very secure in her belly, but the person next to her who had been so cold the whole time was a bit pitiful...
Besides, she herself also wanted to...
Originally, she was the one who teased him first. At first, he was quite self-controlled and only took a brief stab at it passively.
But helpless, in the end, she was too wanton, and the taste was too fragrant and tempting...
He had to grab her lips forcefully and kiss her back passionately...
Afraid of hurting the child, he was extremely gentle with his hands, but he couldn't resist the desire in his heart, and the kiss went deeper and deeper...
Her hands couldn't help but increase the strength, lingering on the places he was most familiar with and loved the most.
Perhaps it was because of her pregnancy, but even though she was over three months pregnant, her belly wasn't showing yet, and her round, full breasts and perky buttocks had developed even better...
