Yu Yuanzheng was a little embarrassed by this, her cheeks slightly reddened, "Father, Mother, I don't know if this is the third child. We just got pregnant, so please don't get too excited."
"How can I not be excited?" The old princess held her daughter-in-law's hand tightly, "Our three babies are already so big, it's time to add a few more to make the family more lively!"
Of course the old princess hopes to have many children and grandchildren.
She had never known that Yu Yuanzheng and his wife were using contraception, and she thought that her daughter-in-law had injured her body when giving birth to her first child and would have difficulty getting pregnant again.
After all, she was different from ordinary people. She gave birth to three children at once.
And that time it was particularly dangerous.
Shangguan Yajing stood aside, looking at the whole family's joyful faces, and couldn't help but smile.
Now I don’t have to be the youngest one anymore.
"Mother, you are pregnant. Look, our whole family is very happy. So I did something." Shangguan Yajing is no longer afraid to talk about what she did.
"Huh? You did something?" The old princess grasped the key point and asked puzzledly.
Shangguan Ziqi reacted immediately.
He remembered that more than a month ago, his wife looked for medicine but couldn't find any. Now that he thought about it, the only people who could enter their room were the two maids and the three children.
His expression suddenly turned even uglier.
"Jing'er?" Shangguan Ziqi shouted coldly.
Shangguan Yajing shrank back.
Is father angry?
The room suddenly became quiet for a moment.
Shangguan Yajing's little body visibly stiffened for a moment, and she quietly hid behind Shangguan Changrui.
The old princess was puzzled and asked, "Why are you so careful and careful about the child? Be careful not to scare the child."
Yu Yuanzheng looked at her daughter thoughtfully and said slowly, "Jing'er, did you take the medicine that mother took?"
Shangguan Yajing bit her lip and slowly moved out from behind her brother, lowering her head and not daring to look at her father.
"Look up," Shangguan Ziqi's voice was not harsh, but it was filled with irresistible majesty, "Tell father, was it you who took it?"
Everyone in the room focused their attention on the little girl.
Shangguan Yajing took a deep breath, and suddenly raised her head, with a stubborn look in her eyes: "I took it."
"What's going on?" The old prince still didn't quite understand what was going on.
Why did my son suddenly lose his temper with his granddaughter? This has never happened before.
The old princess also felt puzzled and looked at this and that.
"Tell me, why do you do this?" Shangguan Ziqi was unusually stern.
"Mother taught me to recognize medicinal herbs and I learned about the effects of musk. I found out that mother often took pills containing this medicine. Then I understood why mother had never given us a brother or sister even though we were so old. So I stole mother's medicine and threw it into the sea."
Shangguan Yajing just went for it, her voice clear and loud.
"I want brothers and sisters! I don't want to be the youngest forever!"
She yelled the last two words.
Obviously, she is the same age as her brothers, but the adults always treat her as the youngest and treat her differently from her two brothers.
The house was silent.
Yu Yuanzheng was stunned at first, then couldn't help laughing out loud.
I see.
Her smile seemed to turn on a switch, and the old princess also laughed, followed by the old prince's deep laughter, and finally even Shangguan Ziqi shook his head helplessly and laughed.
"You little girl," Yu Yuanzheng pulled her daughter to her side, angrily and smiling, "I was wondering why the medicine suddenly disappeared, it turns out it was you, little brat, who did it."
Seeing that the adults were not really angry, Shangguan Yajing became bolder and coquettishly hugged her mother's arm: "Mother, you are not angry anymore? Look, now it's too late, you are really pregnant, and I will have a brother or sister in the future, and there will be one more person in the family."
"You," Yu Yuanzheng tapped her daughter's nose, "if you want a brother or sister, you can just tell mother directly. Why steal mother's things? Aren't you afraid that mother will not love you anymore if you have a child?"
"Mother will not stop loving me. The three of us can help take care of the younger one together." Shangguan Yajing smiled sweetly.
Shangguan Ziqi came over and rubbed his daughter's head: "You are so brave that you even dare to touch your mother's things."
"Father," Shangguan Yajing raised her little face and said confidently, "Don't you want more children? Our palace is rich and powerful, and we have only three children. How can we spend all the money? So we have to have a few more to spend together. Mother is really good at making money."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was another burst of laughter in the room.
Yu Yuanzheng felt that she was praised by the child.
At the same time, I was also touched that the child was not greedy and was willing to share the family property with more brothers and sisters.
The old princess wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Oh, this clever little boy has become a hero in our family."
Shangguan Changyu and Changrui looked at each other and reached out to rub their sister's head at the same time: "Little traitor, you didn't even take us with you."
"Oh, don't mess up my hair." Shangguan Yajing dodged left and right, but her face was filled with a happy smile.
"Hey, do you know why there are so many babies? Your mother and I have no plans to have more children?" Shangguan Ziqi sighed and said solemnly.
Several children shook their heads.
"Because your mother had a peculiar physique, she was pregnant with three of you. The whole process from pregnancy to childbirth was very difficult. Although she gave birth to you safely, her body was also severely injured. It took her a long time to recover.
If this is also the third child, if something happens, you may not have a mother anymore."
At the end of his speech, Shangguan Ziqi felt a little cold, as he was very afraid of losing his wife.
He would rather not have a child than lose his lover.
After Shangguan Ziqi finished speaking, the room suddenly became quiet and the three children put away their happy smiles.
Only then did they realize the seriousness of the problem.
Without their mother, they would become motherless children.
How can that be?
"Mother." Shangguan Yajing regretted so much that she was about to cry.
She was wrong.
"Don't worry, don't scare the baby." Yu Yuanzheng glared at Shangguan Ziqi, "Jing'er, don't worry, our hospital's caesarean section technology is now mature. If you can't give birth smoothly, you can just have a surgery. Mother will not abandon you."
Seeing that the child was frightened and crying, Yu Yuanzheng immediately comforted him.
Everyone was relieved.
Then everyone became happy again.
The old princess then understood why her son and his wife had not had any more children after so many years.
In fact, she didn't mind having too few children, and it didn't matter whether she had one or not.
Of course it would be better if it could regenerate.
Yu Yuanzheng looked at her children who were making a fuss, her hand unconsciously touching her belly, her eyes full of tenderness.
Shangguan Ziqi sat down beside her, held her hand and whispered, "The little one in your belly is welcome."
"That's right." Yu Yuanzheng nodded with a smile.
The old prince stroked his beard and watched the scene with satisfaction: "Ah, Ah! This time, whether it's a boy or a girl, it's all Jing'er's credit."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yajing proudly puffed out her chest like a proud little peacock.
She ran to her mother, gently touched her mother's belly, and whispered, "Brother and sister, grow up quickly. Sister is waiting to play with you."
Yu Yuanzheng and Shangguan Ziqi smiled at each other, their eyes full of happiness and expectation.
Outside the window, the sea and the sky are one color, with rippling blue waves, as if sending blessings to the family that is about to welcome a new life.
Just a dozen days later, when Yu Yuanzheng found that the pulse was a little abnormal, the family became worried again.
