"But how can we get Chen Jingshu to use this?"
"This will require some hard work from our Regent."
Yue Xiyuan took the 'beauty' from Yan An's hand. "Are there any more?"
"I'm giving this to you today. It's non-toxic and does have beauty and skin-nourishing effects, so you can use it with confidence. I just added something to stimulate the Gu worms, so it won't harm anyone else."
"Since it doesn't do any harm and can even beautify the skin, then give me this jar."
Gu Yanan winked at Yan An, then suddenly smiled and grabbed Yan An's arm, shaking it wildly.
"Okay, An'an, can you ask him to give me that jar? Look at the fine lines around my eyes."
"You should ask the Emperor to put you to bed earlier, then you'll have far fewer fine lines."
Gu Yanan quickly released her grip on Yan An's hand. "As expected, I have no secrets from you! Humph!"
Gu Yanan suddenly remembered something, grabbed Yan An and hid in the corner, whispering to him.
"Was there something wrong when you felt my pulse just now?"
Yan An shook her head. "There's nothing wrong. I'm just a little weak lately. I just need to eat more nutritious food."
"Then why haven't I had it yet?"
What is it?
"Of course she's pregnant."
"These things can't be forced; they'll come when they're meant to."
“That’s not because I’m worried about Yu Feng and me…” Gu Yanan pinched two fingers together, hinting at Yan An.
Are you worried that if both of you are healthy, you won't be able to conceive?
"Yes, that's how it used to be portrayed on TV. Two people got married but couldn't have children. After a checkup, they found out that neither of them had any problems, so they got divorced. Then, after they remarried, they both had children."
"That does happen, but it's not that common. Besides, you and the Emperor have only been married for a short time. Even if you are pregnant, you wouldn't be able to feel anything within a month."
"If others can't touch it, how can you not touch it? You just said it's fine, so it definitely isn't there."
"Besides, even though we just got married, we've been intimate with each other just as many times a year as other couples."
"A year?" Yan An was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped, and she raised her voice considerably.
Gu Yanan quickly covered Yan An's mouth, "Keep your voice down."
"You two are pretty good."
A faint, sly smile appeared on Yan An's face. He raised an eyebrow and a knowing smile played on his lips.
"Stop teasing me, that's why I'm worried."
"Pregnancy is not about the number of times it occurs, but about the quality of the pregnancy."
"I told you, the quality would suffer if it happened too often, but that bastard wouldn't believe me." Gu Yanan glared at Yue Yufeng in the distance.
Yue Yufeng was unaware of what was going on, only knowing that a group of eyes were staring at him. He turned to Gu Yanan and gave her a silly smile.
"Look at him, he shows no remorse whatsoever and makes me look so bad!"
Yan An's consciousness flashed, and he took out several boxes of ovulation test strips and folic acid from his spatial storage and handed them to Gu Yanan.
"If you really want a child, you might want to try this."
"Ovulation test strips?"
"It works on the same principle as early pregnancy testing, which tracks ovulation and increases the chances of success. You can start taking folic acid now, and it's best if both of you take it together for a healthier baby."
"I knew you'd have a way, An'an."
"Pregnancy is a matter for both of us. Shall I take His Majesty's pulse?"
"It's fine, but he doesn't want his brother to know."
Why not let Yue Xiyuan know? Yue Yufeng doesn't even know Yue Xiyuan's current situation, and he's afraid Yue Xiyuan will find out.
Yan An chuckled as she thought of this.
“Look, look, he’s like this because he’s afraid you’ll find out.”
"Okay, okay, I promise I won't laugh." Actually, she wasn't laughing at Yue Yufeng, but at Yue Xiyuan.
"Your Majesty, Sister Ya Nan said you've been having some headaches lately. Shall I take your pulse?"
Gu Yanan nudged Yue Yufeng, "Don't try to tough it out. Let An'an take your pulse."
"good."
Yan An placed his hand on Yue Yufeng's arm, his brow furrowing and relaxing intermittently.
"An'an, don't scare me! What happened?"
"It's okay, just like you, I just need to eat more nutritious food."
"Then why are you doing this and that all the time? You scared me."
"I just feel that if two martial arts practitioners can get themselves into this state, they can't stay up so late anymore."
"Are you all alright? If you're all right, then hurry up and leave."
Gu Yanan kept pushing the two of them out, saying, "If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I won't even have a pair of underwear left."
On the way back to Yan An, Yue Xiyuan secretly resolved that after their wedding, he would go home early and not let Yan An stay up so late. Some things can't be done too late, but it didn't mean they can't be done earlier.
"Now you can rest assured, if you're okay, I'm okay too."
"Then why is it that all my efforts are not working?"
“This is from An’an. It’s folic acid. I took it before I got pregnant. It’s good for the baby. If I take it, you should take it too.”
"Then what is this?"
"This is an ovulation test strip. A woman's cycle consists of four phases: the follicular phase, ovulation phase, luteal phase, and menstrual phase. This is for detecting ovulation. Having intercourse during ovulation greatly increases the chances of getting pregnant."
"Oh, I see. Then you should go get tested right away."
Gu Yanan took a box of test strips to the toilet and took one; it showed one line.
"One line doesn't mean it's ovulation period."
Just as Yue Yufeng was about to take it to look at it, Gu Yanan slapped it away, saying, "Take this one!"
"Look closely, there's a single line. You can probably understand the instruction manual by now. I'm not kidding you, I can finally go to bed early tonight."
