"What's wrong?" Shangguan Ziqi asked softly when he saw her stunned.
"These few days are the most fertile period."
Shangguan Ziqi was also stunned when she heard this: "It can't be such a coincidence that she got pregnant in one try."
"Forget it, let's just take things as they come." Yu Zheng shrugged.
If you are pregnant, just give birth to it.
I can only pray in my heart that it won’t be another third child.
That was so thrilling.
What the two men didn't know was that their daughter was secretly happy.
Over the past month, Yu Zheng not only taught Shangguan Yajing some basics, but also taught her how to identify medicinal herbs.
In order to treat the soldiers on board at any time, there is also a pharmacy on board, which has some commonly used medicines. It can be used as a teaching material.
One day, Yu Zheng took out more than a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs to teach her daughter how to recognize them.
"This medicine is called Musk. Its effects include awakening the mind, promoting blood circulation and dredging the menstruation, reducing swelling and relieving pain, calming the mind and nerves, regulating qi and strengthening the body. Among them, promoting blood circulation and dredging the menstruation is most suitable for women. However, there is a biggest taboo: pregnant women are forbidden to use it. If they use it, they will have miscarriage. Most women will not get pregnant during the period of using it."
That's why Yu Yu explained the effect so clearly, in order to let his daughter know some of the tricks in the inner chamber.
Just use this medicine.
When Yu Zheng finished explaining its medicinal effects, she remembered them.
Then I picked it up and smelled it.
The smell is strong and fishy.
But one day, Shangguan Yajing smelled the scent of this medicine in Yu Yuzheng's room. Although it was very faint, her little nose was very sensitive.
Then, while Yu Zheng was away, she sneaked into her grandmother's room to look for it, and found three bottles of medicine, one of which was half taken.
She poured out a pill and put it to her nose, and immediately smelled the musk in it.
Although there were other ingredients she was not familiar with, the musky smell was too unforgettable for her.
Back in her room, she thought carefully and came to a conclusion.
Their mother hasn't given birth to any brothers or sisters for the three siblings in all these years, probably because they have been taking medicine all the time.
How could that be possible? She hated being the youngest the most.
She was born on the same night as her and her two brothers, so why is she the youngest?
She also wants to have a younger brother or sister to tease her. She doesn't want to be the youngest forever.
With this idea in mind, Shangguan Yajing sneaked into Yu Zhenzheng's room again and stole all the bottles of medicine.
It was too easy for her to avoid the two maids.
So no one knew it was her who did it.
When her mother went to look for medicine, she pretended to practice sword outside, but in fact she was always paying attention to her mother's reaction.
Seeing that they didn't react much, she put away her sword and returned to her room.
That night she quietly poured the three bottles of medicine into the sea.
Days at sea are all about watching the sunrise and sunset, and feeling the sea breeze.
Yu Yuzheng is in good health, and she is only eighteen years old, at the prime of her youth.
The next month, when her period was supposed to come, it didn't.
Three days have passed.
Sometimes she would stagger her schedule by two or three days.
She took her own pulse, but it was so early in the morning that she couldn't tell from the pulse.
She said nothing.
After waiting for another six or seven days, her period still didn't come. She felt her pulse again and found that it was very obvious.
Shangguan Ziqi looked at his wife who had put down her hands and asked, "How is it?"
"I'm really pregnant." Yu Zheng said the conclusion calmly.
Husband and wife, you look at me and I look at you.
"Both of our bodies are so good that we got pregnant just by not avoiding it once." Yu Yu Zheng spread his hands.
"Madam, thank you for your hard work again." Shangguan Ziqi gently embraced her in his arms.
If he didn't feel sorry for his wife's hardship during pregnancy, he would of course want to have more children from the bottom of his heart, as it is not like he cannot afford to raise them.
"Can you figure out how many there are?" This is what Shangguan Ziqi is most worried about.
If there is only one child, it is not that hard. But if there are three more, Madam will not know how she will get through the next nine months.
He still remembers clearly what happened when he was with the three of them, Changyu.
"It's only been a few days, I can't feel it. It will take some time before I can feel it, but I can only judge one or two differences. I don't know how many there are. Even when Dabao was born, the imperial physician couldn't make an accurate judgment."
"Madam..." Shangguan Ziqi didn't know what to say, "I only have one hope. I don't want you to suffer as much as you did when you were pregnant with Changyu and the others."
He gently touched his wife's belly.
"I hope so." Yu Zheng was also afraid that three more would come.
"There's nothing good to eat on this ship, so you'll have to endure it for a while." Shangguan Ziqi hugged him tighter with a distressed look on his face.
"No, she's still young. We'll reach Wei in a month and a half at most. By then she'll be three months old and the fetus will be firmly seated."
The news that Yu Zheng was pregnant again quickly spread throughout the ship.
Shangguan Yajing was the first to rush in.
"Mother, am I really going to have a brother or sister? Is it a brother or a sister?"
Shangguan Yajing fluttered to Yu Zheng like a happy little bird, and carefully stroked her mother's belly, which was not yet pregnant, with her eyes shining brightly.
Yu Yuzheng smiled and pinched her daughter's face: "We just got pregnant, how can we know whether it's a brother or a sister so soon? We have to wait until the baby is born to know."
Shangguan Changyu and Shangguan Changrui also rushed in quickly, with smiles on their faces.
Chang Rui coughed lightly and said in a mature manner, "Mother, please take good care of me this time. Don't work so hard like you did when you were pregnant with us."
Their grandmother had told them about the past, and they all knew how hard their mother had worked.
"That's right," Chang Yu took over the conversation, his eyes unable to conceal the excitement, "If it's the third baby this time, I'm afraid the prince will worship the mother."
Shangguan Ziqi heard this and glared at his eldest son in pretended anger: "What are you talking about? Your mother had a hard time when she was pregnant with you. You'd better hope that your mother is only pregnant with one child. Don't be like you three, who insisted on having all three."
There were hurried footsteps outside the cabin door, and the old prince and the old princess walked in hand in hand.
The old princess's face was full of smiles. As soon as she entered the room, she went straight to Yu Zheng: "Zheng'er, you are pregnant again, is it true?"
"Mother, judging from my pulse, it is true. Besides, my period has been overdue for more than ten days."
"That's great. You have to be more careful in the future and don't move around casually." The old princess sat next to Yu Yuzheng, holding her hand and said with concern.
Although the old prince was arrogant, his eyes were full of joy. He patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Our Shangguan family is going to have another baby."
The old prince was very satisfied with the daughter-in-law his son married.
It is really the blessing of their ancestors that the Shangguan family has such good fortune.
Shangguan Ziqi just smiled foolishly and nodded.
"Zheng'er, will it be the third baby again?" the old princess asked with some concern.
Hearing this, the old prince raised his eyebrows even higher, with obvious excitement.
If my daughter-in-law gets pregnant with her third child, it means that the Shangguan family’s ancestral tomb is buried in too great a place.
