He Yue then smiled with satisfaction.
"What do you think we should name this child?" He Yueyi asked him, looking up as she nestled in his arms.
After a moment of contemplation, Thirteen said, "I've already decided. If it's a boy, I'll name him Hongtun, and if it's a girl, I'll name her Tonghan."
Heyue chewed over the two names, finding the girl's name beautiful and quite satisfactory. As for the boy, Hongtun?
This name sounds familiar.
Soon, Heyue remembered that in that dream, Zhaojia Heyue's eldest son was Hongtun.
However, here, Hongchang became Heyue's eldest son, and if Hongtun were born, he would be the second son.
Could it be that all the children I saw back then will appear one by one?
To be honest, Heyue is no longer opposed to having children. After experiencing all of this, she feels that having many children by her side is a very lively and happy thing.
Knowing that the children from her dream might appear one by one, Heyue was still very excited.
Although she and the real Zhao Jia Heyue are not the same person, she feels that she and Zhao Jia Heyue have become one, sharing the same life. Those children belong to the original Zhao Jia Heyue, and they also belong to her.
Thinking of Hongtun, who was so angry he was jumping up and down, and Hongjiao, who was always crying, Heyue was already looking forward to seeing them again.
Heyue put her arms around Thirteen's neck, her eyebrows curving into a smile, and suddenly asked, "Thirteen, let me ask you, how many children do you want?"
Thirteen was surprised by her question, but after thinking about it seriously, she nodded earnestly: "Of course, the more the better."
Heyue pinched his arm hard, and seeing his pained but stoic expression, she asked fiercely, "Do you think I'm a pig?"
Thirteen chuckled and tapped her nose: "Where are you calling me a pig? The more royal offspring the better, and naturally, I hope we have as many children as possible."
Besides, I love the children you have, and I love that we have more and more children. In the future, we'll have so many children to enjoy around us, a whole bunch of sons and grandsons—how wonderful that would be!
Imagining that scene, He Yue shuddered; Thirteen's answer was truly realistic.
But could she have given birth to so many children on her own?
Heyue lowered her head and counted the number of children in her dream on her fingers. The more she counted, the darker her face became and the more frightened she felt.
If we follow this number, by the 59th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, including the one who was currently pregnant, there would be four more children. No, if we add a daughter, there would be five more. This does not even include those born after the 59th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign.
There are still ten years until the 59th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign. Even if they have one child every two years, they will have five children by then.
Heyue instantly collapsed into Thirteen's arms, on the verge of tears. She really wanted to die right now; if she continued living like this, she would truly become a pig.
Seeing her like this, Thirteen panicked and helped her up. Looking at her lifeless appearance, he was extremely anxious: "Heyue, what's wrong? Is your stomach upset?"
Then you need to call for help.
Seeing that he was so frightened that his face turned pale, Heyue held his hand and comforted him weakly, "It's nothing, I'm fine."
Thirteen's eyes reddened: "What do you mean 'good'? Is this what you mean by 'good'?"
Heyue sat up and hugged him: "I'm really okay, look, I'm fine."
She was just too surprised and couldn't quite accept it.
But then I thought about it again, and my mother had given birth to so many children, so it's not surprising that I had given birth to so many myself.
Alas, women in ancient times were indeed just baby-making machines. My mother only had children because she didn't have any sons. Heyue already had her eldest son, and now she's pregnant again. If it's a boy, he'll be her second son, and she'll have to have more children after that.
Are all women with the bloodline of the Irgen Gioro clan capable of having children?
He Yue thought with a hint of resentment, "Thirteen is going to be smug now, and I'm going to be depressed."
When you first get pregnant, you feel joy and wonder. But as time goes on, life becomes dull and boring. You can't go anywhere, you have to be careful in everything you do, and you're prone to getting angry easily.
Although I've gotten used to this kind of life after experiencing it once, I still feel bored.
After finishing her lessons, Thirteen would not go anywhere but would come back early to keep Heyue company and relieve her boredom, enduring her occasional little temper tantrums.
Since Zhang learned that Heyue was pregnant, he had been sending her a lot of supplements that pregnant women need, and the medicine to prevent miscarriage was also bought by Shisan from Zhang's Medical Hall.
Thirteen trusted Manager Zhang's character and medical ethics. The two were kindred spirits, and although there was an age gap, it did not affect their friendship at all.
This is what they call a friendship that transcends age. I never expected to meet someone like this here. I'm really lucky.
At five months, Heyue felt fetal movement in her belly.
When Heyue first felt the baby move, it was in the middle of the night. She was suddenly awakened by a sharp pain, her face turned pale, and she cried out, waking up Thirteen who was still asleep. Thirteen immediately sat up and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Zhizhu, who was on night watch, immediately got up and lit the candles, instantly illuminating the side of the room closest to the bed.
Since Heyue became pregnant, the couple should not have lived together anymore. However, Thirteen has no concubines here, and even during her last pregnancy, Thirteen stayed in Heyue's room every night, never leaving her side. This time, he stayed in Heyue's room again.
Lady Irgen Gioro felt it was inappropriate, but the Thirteenth Prince had no concubines, so where could he go? She warned them not to act impulsively, and then let them be.
From this perspective, Thirteen is indeed a good husband. If he were like other men, when his wife became pregnant, he would go to another woman's room or go to the front yard to avoid it, leaving his wife alone. Her mood was already irritable because of the pregnancy, and this would only add to her depression.
Heyue wasn't that kind of delicate person, nor was she the type to whine without reason. Even without Shisan around, Heyue would take good care of herself.
But Thirteen was worried. He had to stay by Heyue's side every step of the way, fearing that if Heyue needed anything, the maids wouldn't serve her properly.
How could a grown man be more attentive than a maidservant who's used to being waited on? It's just a matter of sentiment.
He Yue gladly accepted his kindness, feeling fortunate that her child had such a devoted father.
Thirteen leaned down and looked at her pale face, asking anxiously, "What happened?"
Heyue smiled, took his hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, laughing happily: "It's fetal movement, the baby is moving."
The long-awaited fetal movement indicates that Heyue is no longer just having a rational understanding of having a child, but is actually feeling the presence of the fetus, which is naturally a happy thing.
Thirteen's eyes lit up with surprise as he leaned over Heyue's lower abdomen to listen for any movement, and sure enough, he felt a slight movement.
Since that first fetal movement, Thirteen has become even more attentive to Heyue. Every night before going to sleep, he would always lean over Heyue's lower abdomen to listen for sounds. If he couldn't hear any sounds, he would look disappointed. If he could hear them, he would get excited like a child. Sometimes when he had free time, he would hold Heyue and read to her so that the child could hear him too.
The days passed quickly in this peaceful and warm atmosphere.
