She'd slept for far too long; this had never happened before.
He insisted on calling Huaxing to come check on her, and Tu Qingyu didn't stop him. After all, they weren't in the harem right now, so there was no need to calculate the timeline for the pregnancy announcement.
Huaxing felt a sense of trepidation every time he took the Queen Mother's pulse, as the King watched him intently.
It was as if if anything truly amiss with the Queen Mother, he, the Royal Doctor, would be beheaded in the next second.
Fortunately, the Queen Mother looked delicate, and every time he took her pulse, nothing was amiss.
Occasionally, there would be a surprise.
Look, isn't this the surprise?
After a moment's examination, he quickly stood up, raised his hand towards Helian Lingfeng, and said happily, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is pregnant. It looks like she's almost two months pregnant."
"Three, three months." Helian Lingfeng's first reaction wasn't joy, but a frown.
Wasn't this a little too fast? Qing Ge'er was only a month away from turning one.
Hua Xing's eyelids twitched. This reaction was not right. Shouldn't he be happy and then say "reward?"
The king's reaction, could it be...
But in a moment, Hua Xing's mind was filled with a series of royal secrets. He wondered if he knew this secret and would not see the sun tomorrow.
Fortunately, the next moment, he heard the king say, "The Queen Consort just gave birth to the little princess. Pregnancy at this time could be harmful to her health."
"Your Majesty..." Hua Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately said, "The Queen Consort is in good health now. With careful care, nothing will happen. Your Majesty, don't worry."
"That's good. Then what tonic should she take?"
"Your Majesty, if there's nothing wrong with her, don't take any medicine."
"Then why does she sleep so long every day? Is it really okay?"
"Pregnancy symptoms vary widely, including morning sickness, drowsiness, and so on. Perhaps there wasn't any reaction with the previous pregnancy, but a strong reaction with this one. These are all normal. As long as it's not too uncomfortable, it's best not to take any medicine."
"Then..."
Hua Xing, seeing his hesitation and indecision, almost wondered if this was the King of Mobei he knew.
Also, was this a question of his medical skills?
He grumbled inwardly, but kept his head down, respectful.
Only when Tu Qingyu tugged on his sleeve did he stop tormenting Hua Xing.
She pulled Helian Lingfeng to sit down. "What's wrong? Aren't you happy I'm pregnant?"
"Happy, I just..." He was actually scared by the basins of blood when Tu Qingyu gave birth last time.
Ever since he could do that kind of thing with Tu Qingyu, he would go to Huaxing to get medicine.
Only a few times, when they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they had a chance encounter and didn't take any precautions. Unexpectedly,
she got pregnant.
He thought it would be best for Tu Qingyu to get pregnant when the world was stable.
Now that the war was still going on and she had just given birth, he was really worried.
Tu Qingyu sat up. "It's okay, I know my body. I know it myself."
If she didn't want to get pregnant, who would make her pregnant
? "Then if you feel any discomfort, you must tell me."
"Okay."
Despite saying it was okay, Helian Lingfeng looked more nervous about Tu Qingyu's pregnancy this time than last time.
"How about we stop the war for a while and I'll go after you give birth." He really didn't feel comfortable leaving Tu Qingyu here alone.
After all, the Central Plains was there, so it didn't matter whether they attacked early or late.
"No." Tu Qingyu glanced at him calmly. "Conquering the empire is such a big deal, how can we keep putting it off? We need to make a decision early to avoid any more trouble."
Helian Lingfeng placed his hand on her slightly bulging belly and thought for a moment before speaking. "Okay."
The last time she was pregnant with Qingge'er, she'd said she'd conquer a kingdom for her unborn child, but in reality, she'd only conquered a few cities.
"This time, Daddy will definitely conquer the kingdom for you."
Two months later, Qingge'er had learned to speak simple words.
Wrapped in a small cape, she leaned against the doorstep, looking up at Helian Lingfeng, who had rushed back, clad in armor and dusty from the journey.
Her chubby face froze for a moment, as if she was carefully identifying him.
After a long moment, she spoke in a childish voice, "Dad..."
Daddy...
Helian Lingfeng had never known how devastating those two words could be.
It was the dead of winter, and she'd just galloped in on horseback; she should have been freezing.
But now, he felt a warmth welling up from head to toe.
Tu Qingyu came out and said with a smile, "Daddy, what are you standing here like an idiot for?"
He finally came to his senses, took a few steps to Qingge'er, and picked her up.
"My dear daughter, you can speak now! How did you know I was your father?"
Qingge'er was suddenly picked up, not at all frightened. Her chubby little hands held Helian Lingfeng's face, her big, dark, watery eyes constantly looking at him.
"Hua, Mommy, show Cancan Hua~ Daddy, Cancan knows the smell~"
Helian Lingfeng didn't pay much attention to the smell she said, but used a coaxing tone, gently and dotingly saying, "So amazing! How is Cancan so smart?" Qingge'er
's pupils dilated for a moment, and then the corners of her mouth curled up, her little chest subconsciously straightened, and she nodded seriously, "Yes, Cancan... the smartest!"
It was so adorable that Helian Lingfeng couldn't help but want to kiss her little face, but just as he moved forward, Qingge'er raised her hand to block him.
"No!" Her small body was full of rejection, "Daddy stinks!"
Helian Lingfeng was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"Okay, okay, Daddy stinks, Daddy will go wash it now!"
After putting the person on the warm couch, he turned around and kissed Tu Qingyu on the face behind him.
Then he went out to wash up with a happy face.
At dinner time in the evening, he looked at the tiny Qingger holding a spoon and eating by herself, and felt very strange.
"She is still young, it's okay for the wet nurse to feed her." He reached out and picked up some food with chopsticks for Tu Qingyu, "But my daughter is smart."
Tu Qingyu: "She is over one year old, and she has to learn to do these things."
All the children she had given birth to before were like this. None of them were really like the children of rich families in ancient times, who were held in arms for several years and still couldn't walk.
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."
At night, they lay in bed. After he hugged her and made out for a while, he hesitated and said, "I brought someone back. Aren't you going to ask?"
She played with his slender fingers and said nonchalantly, "What's there to ask? You brought her back, so you must have your reasons."
"No, you're wrong. I brought back a woman. You shouldn't react like that."
