Chapter 464: Not Behaving Well
"Is it because the small kitchen and the imperial kitchen have not been serving you well recently?" Anyway, it's not that Shen Qing has a picky stomach. Besides, even if she has a picky stomach, it's normal for her to be pregnant.
Shen Qing herself was helpless: "I just can't eat it."
My appetite has gradually decreased and is now half of what it used to be. Eating used to be an enjoyment, but now I am not enjoying it and half of the fun in life has been lost.
Xuanyuan Ling frowned: "What did the imperial physician say?"
"The imperial physician said that the child was well-developed, so he was holding it up, and that's why his stomach wasn't so good when he was eating."
Xuanyuan Ling didn't feel relieved, nor did he take it for granted. Instead, he was a little worried: "Is the child older than when Xiaoliu was young?"
"It seems that the belly is going to be bigger." Shen Qing sighed.
Xuanyuan Ling was cautious: "Have you asked someone to check the food you ate in the past? What about the soup and medicine for nourishing your body?"
In this regard, he actually still remembered that when Li gave birth to the fourth prince, the queen wanted to keep the child and the mother, so she deliberately made Li's belly very big. Li was a premature baby, but the child was already the same size as a full-term baby at that time. Shen Qing had a difficult time giving birth to Xiaoliu. If this child is bigger than Xiaoliu, wouldn't it be even more difficult for her to give birth?
Shen Qing knew what he meant: "Indeed not." This point had been checked a long time ago.
She deliberately said, "It's just that this child is not easy to take care of. Xiaoliu was so well behaved in my belly, but this one asked me to eat sour and spicy food as soon as I got pregnant. Now he can't eat it. I'm afraid he will be very fussy when he is born."
Xuanyuan Ling knew that she was referring to him and shouldn't worry about it.
Just: "It doesn't affect you?"
Shen Qing said: "It's not that I can't eat at all, it's just that I eat less, and it doesn't have any effect on my body."
Xuanyuan Ling looked at Shen Qing's belly: "It's making a fuss."
It was nothing when Shen Qing was pregnant with Xiaoliu, but now that she is like this, he misses her very much.
He reached out and touched her belly: "I hope she makes a fuss now and comes out obediently when the baby is born, otherwise I will spank her."
Chen Qing smiled: "Your Majesty, as a father, is already thinking about beating the baby before they even come out? To be honest, Your Majesty, have you ever suspected that they are twins? I suspected it too, because the belly looks bigger than when Xiaoliu was pregnant."
Xuanyuan Ling had never thought about this. She was stunned when she heard what Shen Qing said. Even the hand that was touching her belly froze for a moment: "Twins?"
"No." Shen Qing found his confused look really funny. Is he stupid? "Why did the emperor believe it? If it was twins, would the imperial physician not report it to the emperor?" In this month, if there were really two, how could it not be seen?
Xuanyuan Ling really wanted to get angry when he saw the way she smiled, and he was teasing her on purpose: "You are so naughty."
It stands to reason that having many children means more blessings. If Shen Qing really had twins, that would be a great omen. But Xuanyuan Ling had never thought about this. He felt that he and Shen Qing were good enough, and it was good enough as long as they lived in peace and stability.
A good thing is that the baby was born safely. During those years when I was full of uncertainty and suspicion, I had the same thought. But now I feel more relieved. After all, the child of Chen Qing is more like a sustenance of his and her feelings over the years, which makes him extremely happy.
Xuanyuan Ling thought about it with a smile on his lips and looked back at Chen Qing softly.
"Why is the emperor looking at me like that?" Shen Qing was moved by his gentle look. This man looked at her so attentively and gently, which was quite lethal.
"I just thought that I seemed to have everything I wanted, and God was still kind to me." So even if I lost something, it didn't seem that important.
He didn't say the second half of the sentence.
But Shen Qing actually heard that there was something else in his words.
Xuanyuan Ling had lived half his life with an unkind empress dowager, an unhappy childhood, quarrels between brothers, and discord between husband and wife. He was the emperor, the most honorable, but he was actually quite emotionally deficient, and too many things had happened in the past few days.
How can I not be tired? Even if I rest well physically, I will still feel tired mentally.
Shen Qing suddenly reached out and hugged him suddenly, and patted his back in a comforting gesture.
Xuanyuan Ling was stunned for a moment, his brows softened, and he put his chin on Shen Qing's shoulder. Her shoulders were not broad, but he could still rub against them. He smiled softly while smelling the faint fragrance on her body.
"You are so thoughtful, darling."
Shen Qing hummed deliberately: “I think so too.”
Xuanyuan Ling couldn't help but laugh at her tone again.
At this time, the child moved a little, and Shen Qing cried out "Ouch". Xuanyuan Ling was afraid that she would be uncomfortable in this position for a long time, so he was thinking of picking her up and changing to a more comfortable position, but Xiaoliu came over. Well, the intimacy was not possible. Xuanyuan Ling wondered, did this child not have much homework recently? Was it a little early today?
While the family here is having a great time, Chu Linglong over there has to chant Buddhist scriptures under someone's watch every day.
Xuanyuan Ling asked her to chant the Buddha's name, which meant that he had to find someone to watch her chant every day, otherwise she would be lazy and outsiders wouldn't know about it. So Chu Linglong spent a lot of time chanting the Buddha's name every day, and her original three meals a day became vegetarian dishes. Even though she couldn't compare to Chen Qing in terms of food in recent years, she was a concubine after all.
Now her status has been downgraded, the food has become worse, many servants have been transferred out of the palace, and she has to be watched while chanting Buddhist scriptures. Ming Su felt really distressed seeing this, but there was nothing she could do. She could only serve tea and water to Chu Linglong after she finished chanting. Ten days had passed like this, and she saw that Chu Linglong had become thinner.
