Seeing Fei Leng's stunned expression, the Empress Dowager knew that he hadn't grasped what she was saying, so she had no choice but to be blunt. She didn't believe that Fei Leng would still not understand even after she made it clear.
"Your Majesty, Consort Jing is currently pregnant, so Your Majesty must exercise restraint in matters of the bedroom. For the first month of this month, you should definitely not have sexual relations. I hope Your Majesty is aware of this."
Don't act recklessly just because Consort Jing indulges you. You should think more about the child in Consort Jing's womb.
Fei Leng felt a little embarrassed after the Empress Dowager said that, since it was the Empress Dowager who had spoken to him, but he still nodded in the end.
"Mother, don't worry! I know this."
Although Fei Leng said that, the Empress Dowager was still a little uneasy, because when she saw the marks on Jiang Jingyue's body today, she felt that the Emperor didn't really know.
If she had known, she wouldn't have seen those marks on Jiang Jingyue.
"Your Majesty, what I said is true. You must take it seriously and not treat it lightly, understand?"
Seeing the Empress Dowager's serious expression, Fei Leng nodded coldly.
"Mother, don't worry, I promise."
The Empress Dowager believed Fei Leng's words. Moreover, Fei Leng had made a guarantee, so the Empress Dowager didn't say anything more and left with her servants.
Before leaving, she told Jiang Jingyue that if she had any other questions about the child, she could ask someone to invite her, and she would come personally, so that Jiang Jingyue wouldn't have to make a special trip.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager had finally left, Jiang Jingyue immediately had Dong'er set out the meal.
Seeing the abundant food, Jiang Jingyue's mouth watered.
She looked at the spicy fish that she had specially ordered the imperial kitchen to add extra chili peppers to, and her mouth watered.
Jiang Jingyue was just about to pick up some food, but before she could even reach for it, Fei Leng slapped her chopsticks away.
Jiang Jingyue looked up at Fei Leng with some confusion, her eyes full of bewilderment at Fei Leng for swatting away her chopsticks.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing? I want to eat fish. Why are you hitting my chopsticks?"
When Jiang Jingyue asked him this, Fei Leng didn't answer. Instead, he spoke to Su De beside him.
"Su De, go and call Physician Zhang over."
Although Su De was puzzled, he immediately accepted the order and went to carry it out.
Fei Leng placed the simplest-looking dish in front of Jiang Jingyue and then looked at her intently.
"Xiao Jing, these things all have a strong flavor. You're pregnant now, I don't know if you can eat them."
Seeing Fei Leng's puzzled look, Jiang Jingyue immediately nodded to him.
"Your Majesty, it is fine. I know my own body. I can eat these things."
After Jiang Jingyue finished speaking, she looked at Fei Leng expectantly, hoping that Fei Leng would agree to let her eat it. However, Fei Leng still dared not make a decision easily regarding matters concerning Jiang Jingyue's health.
The main problem is that the meals Jiang Jingyue is preparing here look rather heavy in flavor.
He himself had never eaten anything with such strong flavors before, so he was still a little worried.
Although Jiang Jingyue kept looking at him longingly, Fei Leng still shook his head.
"Xiao Jing, let's wait for the imperial physician to arrive. He said it's okay for you to eat it, so I certainly won't stop you."
Fei Leng's words instantly dashed Jiang Jingyue's hopes. If the imperial physician saw these things, he would definitely tell her that she couldn't eat them. After all, what family with children would eat such strong-flavored food?
"Your Majesty, then I will only eat a little, just a little will do."
Let alone a little bit, if the imperial physician says it's not okay to eat, Fei Leng definitely won't let Jiang Jingyue eat even a single bite.
Soon, Physician Zhang was brought over by Su De. The first thing Su De did upon arriving was to look at Fei Leng and ask her anxiously.
"Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell? Let me take a look."
After saying this, Physician Zhang immediately came to Fei Leng's side, preparing to take Fei Leng's pulse. Fei Leng's face darkened instantly. He waved his hand and looked at Physician Zhang.
"It wasn't me. I summoned you here to ask you to check if Consort Jing can eat these things on the table."
Physician Zhang probably didn't expect that the Emperor had summoned him, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, for something like this!
As soon as Fei Leng finished speaking, Physician Zhang froze, somewhat taken aback.
After realizing what was happening, Physician Zhang immediately looked at the food on the table. After looking around, Physician Zhang nodded to Fei Leng.
"Your Majesty, although these dishes are quite strong in flavor, it's fine to eat them occasionally as long as you don't eat them every day."
As soon as the imperial physician uttered those words, Jiang Jingyue was overjoyed, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She had assumed the imperial physician would tell her not to eat it, but to her surprise, he said it was okay.
Overjoyed, Jiang Jingyue looked at Fei Leng with a smile on her face, her eyes seeming to say something.
Look at me, look at me! The imperial physician said it's okay to eat now, can I eat it now?
Fei Leng almost burst out laughing when he saw Jiang Jingyue's expression.
"Doctor Zhang, what about pregnant women? If they are already pregnant, will it be bad for them to eat these things? Will it have any effect?"
When Physician Zhang heard the word "pregnancy," he subconsciously glanced at Jiang Jingyue beside him.
With just one glance, Physician Zhang was able to confirm that the pregnant woman the Emperor was referring to was Consort Jing.
However, this matter puzzled Imperial Physician Zhang. Wasn't Consort Jing a newcomer to the palace? How could she be pregnant so quickly?
However, he also knew that this was not a matter he could ask too many questions about.
"Your Majesty, pregnant women absolutely cannot eat these kinds of things, and even non-pregnant women should eat in moderation when consuming such strong-flavored foods."
As soon as the imperial physician uttered those words, Jiang Jingyue was completely distraught. She had specifically asked the imperial chef to add extra chili peppers, as she preferred them, but she never expected this outcome.
Fei Leng nodded, then looked at Jiang Jingyue and spoke.
"Xiao Jing, did you hear that? Pregnant women shouldn't eat these things, or it will be bad for the baby."
Jiang Jingyue really wanted to tell him that she had already taken a pregnancy-preserving pill. In order for the children to have good health in the future, Jiang Jingyue had already taken several pills the moment she became pregnant, just so that the children would be born healthy and safe.
However, since Fei Leng had already said so, Jiang Jingyue could only watch as the large table of food she had carefully prepared for the imperial kitchen was removed.
