"Do you think Little Green is malnourished?"
System: "Impossible, that's probably how she is."
Dou Shiliu: "So, does that mean my child will never grow up?"
System: "Possibly"
Dou Shiliu pursed her lips, watched as Xiao Lülü comfortably narrowed her eyes, and then gently softened the pressure in her hand.
After the imperial examinations were over, the list of successful candidates was released, and countless scholars rushed to see it. Sure enough, their names were not on the list, but He Yanyu's name was prominently displayed.
Everyone sighed. As expected of He Yanyu, her knowledge was indeed unmatched. She failed the exam this year, so she can only wait until next year.
The scholars returned to the inn, packed their belongings, bid farewell to the capital, and went back to their hometowns, while He Yanyu, having brought honor to his ancestors, met the emperor.
In the imperial court, He Yanyu, dressed in official robes, exuded a commanding presence and bowed to Emperor An Yan, who sat on the dragon throne.
Di An Yan laughed loudly: "No need for such formalities, Scholar. Your writing skills and strategies are truly rare talents in our dynasty."
He Yanyu humbly replied, "Your Majesty is truly remarkable. You were also extremely skilled in the other exams. I was simply very lucky."
Emperor An Yan bestowed many gifts upon He Yan Yu and built him a mansion. He Yan Yu then made a request, which Emperor An Yan did not refuse.
That is, he wanted to marry a girl and asked Emperor An Yan to bestow the marriage upon him. Emperor An Yan originally thought it was a young lady from a noble family, but unexpectedly, He Yan Yu only said a name he did not recognize, which clearly indicated that she was a woman he had already secretly betrothed to.
Without asking any further questions, Emperor Yan issued an imperial edict. After thanking the emperor for his great favor, He Yanyu returned to his residence.
The place had been cleaned spotlessly, and the servants carried the things inside. He Yanyu then had a carriage prepared by the servants, and he went to the dilapidated courtyard where he used to live.
A servant knocked on the door, and a melodious voice came from inside, "Coming!"
He Yanyu was a little nervous. She straightened her hat and looked at the gate with a glimmer in her eyes. Ji Ya came out with a plain face, and she was already six months pregnant.
Her little belly was already sticking out high, but an accident had bound them together tightly.
He Yanyu quickly stepped forward to help Ji Ya, saying, "Wife, be careful, your feet are small."
Ji Ya smiled and said, "I'm not stupid. Today you became the top scholar, which is a wonderful thing. Husband, my master said that after I give birth to the baby, he will take you back to see him."
He Yanyu nodded, took Ji Ya's hand, and carefully helped her into the carriage. Ji Ya didn't need much effort to step onto the horse, but He Yanyu's careful attitude made her both amused and exasperated. She wasn't a pampered young lady; she was used to being wild and untamed. Even if she was injured somewhere, let alone pregnant, she could still run around anywhere.
He Yanyu didn't care what Ji Ya thought. He wouldn't let Ji Ya run around carelessly; it was too dangerous. So, she couldn't do anything dangerous.
He Yanyu had placed a particularly soft cushion inside the carriage to make it easier for Ji Ya to sit comfortably. However, Ji Ya was quite uncomfortable sitting with her large pregnant belly, so He Yanyu simply let her lie on her lap.
Ji Ya leaned comfortably against him, then suddenly turned pale, startling He Yan Yu. She asked in a panic, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Did the baby kick you again?"
Jiya's face was pale: "My leg... my leg cramped up..."
He Yanyu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly rubbed her face. Sure enough, Ji Ya's expression relaxed. He Yanyu's eyes were filled with tenderness and heartache, and the pressure in her hands gradually decreased.
Still want to smoke?
Ji Ya shook her head. The gentle massage made her feel much more comfortable. As Ji Ya lay flat, her belly appeared even larger. He Yan Yu looked down at her, her belly so big that it seemed to be crushing Ji Ya's small body. It was heartbreaking to see.
That accident warmed up the relationship between He Yanyu and Ji Ya. Of course, besides that incident, He Yanyu was also a gentleman. Feeling guilty, he first gave Ji Ya a marriage certificate, and then married her when he passed the imperial examination.
Ji Ya wasn't worried about him running away; after all, this matter wasn't a huge deal, but it wasn't insignificant either.
Ji Ya never expected that she would get pregnant. Of course, she told He Yanyu about it. Ji Ya still vividly remembers his shocked and bewildered expression at that time.
Fortunately, Ji Ya's judgment was correct. He Yanyu was a man she could entrust her life to. Ji Ya looked at He Yanyu with tender eyes as he carefully massaged her legs, her heart overflowing with love for him.
After the carriage arrived, He Yanyu carefully helped Ji Ya down. The two looked at each other, and Ji Ya turned to look at the huge mansion. She was stunned for a moment, and then smiled happily. Now she and her child would live exceptionally well.
He Yanyu helped Ji Ya inside. He would marry Ji Ya, this clever and mischievous little thing, in less than a month.
Now that she is pregnant with his child, He Yanyu cherishes her even more.
He Yanyu helped Ji Ya up, and Ji Ya's face turned pale. She looked down at her clothes, which were gradually getting wet, and hurriedly pulled He Yanyu next to her. She calmly said, "Husband, go find a midwife."
He Yanyu was still in a daze until she saw a large amount of liquid seeping from between Ji Ya's legs, then she came to her senses and found the best midwife in the area.
Ji Ya was a little depressed. It was only 8 months, and it would take 10 months to give birth. So Ji Ya tried her best not to let the baby come out so early. The midwife saw Ji Ya like this and went out to talk to He Yanyu. She said a few words: "Lord He, the lady has just had a miscarriage. You should find a doctor to stabilize the pregnancy for her now."
After hearing this, He Yanyu hurriedly went to find a doctor. Sure enough, the doctor prescribed medicine, and He Yanyu personally brewed the medicine, enduring even the bitter and unpleasant taste.
After drinking it, the bleeding stopped. Her water didn't break, but there was some discharge. It turned out that the baby had actually been disturbed during the bumpy ride.
Ji Ya: "...", He Yanyu kept an even closer eye on her.
The tables turned quickly. Ji Ya's activities were restricted, He Yan Yu went to court, and Emperor An Yan issued an edict to bestow a marriage upon them—a rare favor.
While busy with the wedding banquet, taking care of Ji Ya, He Yan Yu also had to attend court.
Although He Yanyu was extremely busy, he massaged Ji Ya's legs every day without fail. He also applied the knowledge he had learned from other women to Ji Ya's body. For example, he found a fragrant ointment and applied it to Ji Ya's belly little by little to make her belly look less grotesque.
Ji Ya's legs no longer ache, and they no longer cramp in the middle of the night.
