When she was six months old, Qingdai's belly became bigger and her narcolepsy became more and more serious.
If no one called her, she could sleep with her butt sticking up in Jingren Palace all day.
"System, how many babies did I give birth to? Why is my belly so big?"
"Host, please wait a moment. The system will check you immediately."
"Spread the flowers, spread the flowers, spread the flowers~ The host is pregnant with quadruplets this time~ The system will definitely do its best to protect the host and the babies in her belly [clench fist] [work hard] [I can do it]"
Four dolls...
Qingdai didn't expect that she could win such a big prize in one go.
"Since the host is pregnant with many babies, the system will give you a free pregnancy-preserving pill this time to ensure that the babies can be born smoothly during childbirth~ [Be good][Praise]"
Qingdai was delighted.
Medical conditions in ancient times were relatively poor, and she was indeed worried about whether she could give birth normally to her fourth child.
Now that I have the pregnancy-preserving pills given by the system, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After Gong Liangxiu finished his government affairs, he went to Jingren Palace to have lunch with Qingdai.
Pulling his sleepy pregnant wife out of bed, Gong Liangxiu wrapped her in a thin blanket and whispered softly in her ear, "Dai'er, get up and have lunch with me?"
"Hmm..." Qingdai's voice was still a little unclear, and she was trying hard to open her eyes.
Gong Liangxiu skillfully picked up the gauze dress beside the bed and put it on Qingdai.
Ever since her belly grew bigger, she had difficulty moving around and basically stayed in bed.
The service work was no longer done by maids, but by Gong Liangxiu himself.
But Gong Liangxiu soon discovered that pregnant women have their own advantages.
Indigo eats a lot and grows very fast.
She was already as beautiful as snow, and now she is even more pure and beautiful.
Touching the soft little hands, the plump beauty is almost shining all over.
The silver-patterned cicada silk dress made her figure more seductive. Gong Liangxiu stared at her for a long while, his eyes burning with passion.
His hand moved up from her waist, pinching her recent swelling, and was silent for a moment: "It seems... a lot bigger."
Qingdai's face turned red and she became much more sober.
When she was just two or three months pregnant, her breasts started to swell.
She felt bloated and painful in the middle of the night, but was too embarrassed to get up, so she could only let her pajamas get soaked.
Gong Liangxiu slept lightly at night and noticed that she was moving rustlingly at night. He thought that Qingdai was not feeling well, so he turned her over to check on her out of concern.
The two new parents fell silent as they looked at the white pajamas soaked with indigo.
Then Gong Liangxiu looked at the semi-transparent pajamas and his eyes began to burn with anger.
Qingdai felt the chest she was leaning against begin to heat up, and her breathing became heavier in her ears.
She was so scared that she quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep, not daring to move.
The man beside her was as warm as a stove, but he just put his arm around her waist all night and didn't make any other moves.
As a result, the next night, Qingdai had just finished taking a shower and had not yet put on her pajamas when she leaned against a masculine chest from behind.
Gong Liangxiu was only wearing a thin black bathrobe and picked up the beautiful woman who was lying on the bed.
"Ah!" Qingdai was so embarrassed that her skin turned pink all over, little by little like peach blossoms blooming, like the sunset in the sky.
"What are you doing?" The beauty looked at him angrily and punched him with her fist.
Gong Liangxiu placed the beautiful woman with a radiant body and rosy cheeks on the bed.
He half-knelt and looked into Qingdai's eyes, his serious tone as if he was talking about some important national affairs.
"Dai'er... I've already asked the experienced wet nurse in the palace today. She said that a husband can help his wife with this kind of thing."
Qingdai covered herself with a thin blanket, her face blushing with shame.
"Dai'er, I don't want you to be unable to sleep at night because of the pain, so let me help you, okay?"
Gong Liangxiu tried hard to make his tone serious, his deep eyes filled with pleading.
Seeing Qingdai tossing and turning and unable to sleep these past few nights, he naturally felt distressed.
That's why I specially found a few experienced wet nurses during the day and asked them carefully about the situation.
The pain in the man's eyes was not fake. Qingdai hesitated for a long time and said hesitantly: "Then...then...be gentle."
Gong Liangxiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Before he said it, he thought Qingdai would not agree.
But his Qingdai is just so obedient and loving.
Gong Liangxiu leaned over, sank his tall nose into the mouth and took a breath of the soft fragrance.
Qingdai stretched out her arms and wrapped them around his neck.
Gong Liangxiu was also paying attention to Qingdai's reaction.
If she hugged him too hard, he would loosen his grip and comfort her gently; if she hugged him too lightly, he would continue.
With his help, Qingdai no longer felt uncomfortable at night.
Lying in Gong Liangxiu's arms at night, she slept more and more soundly.
Gong Liangxiu stared at the Su-style murals on the roof of Jingren Palace with his eyes open, kissed the back of Qingdai's neck, and then patiently closed his eyes and fell asleep.
To be honest, some of it is self-inflicted.
***
Sometimes Gong Liangxiu was too busy with government affairs to accompany Qingdai, so he asked Princess Hua'an, who lived outside the palace, to come into the palace to chat with Qingdai.
Princess Hua'an was the eldest daughter of the late emperor and the elder sister of Gong Liangxiu.
When Qingdai saw them, she realized that the brother and sister did look somewhat similar.
Princess Hua'an is also a bright and beautiful woman. She and Qingdai hit it off right away, especially when she saw her pregnant brother complaining about her.
"Your Majesty, you are such a fool! You've been so hard-pressed to be pregnant, yet you're so busy with government affairs that you can't even be with you. If I were pregnant, and my husband dared to do this, I'd divorce him!"
Qingdai sat in the pavilion and smiled at the eldest princess's complaints.
In order to accompany her, Gong Liangxiu had shortened his meetings with ministers to one hour every day, except for the morning court session. He even reviewed memorials directly in Jingren Palace.
But since someone was complaining about her husband on her behalf, she naturally... joined in the complaints!
"The princess has good taste. The marquis she chose is so considerate and always puts the princess first. I'm so envious of him."
"That's right, let me tell you, when I was pregnant with that girl Anping, your brother-in-law, the Marquis, didn't dare to leave even a step..."
Xiao Luzi looked at His Majesty with a sullen face in fear.
I silently said to my Royal Highness the Princess, "Please say less. His Majesty's face has turned very dark."
And there is the Imperial Concubine...it's not okay to say that I'm envious!
He saw it most clearly because he was with His Majesty every day. His Majesty spent almost all of his time with the Imperial Concubine.
When he was not with the Empress, he would summon the ministers and the imperial physicians at the same time.
On several occasions, when the ministers were asking for an audience outside the Imperial Study, His Majesty was already having in-depth discussions with Imperial Physician Chen inside.
His Majesty would personally handle anything related to the Empress, and would personally send people to keep an eye on it afterwards, without relying on anyone else.
This posture can't be summed up by just one word: clingy...
He treated the imperial concubine as a fragile porcelain doll, fearing it would melt if he held it in his mouth, and fearing it would fall if he held it in his hands.
