Chapter 158 Children's Discussion
Shen Junqi has been pregnant for more than three months now, and her morning sickness has disappeared. However, she feels hot at night and cannot sleep well. The emperor is very worried about her.
When they entered the hall, the Emperor and the Empress were already seated, waiting for Lin Qian and Wei Xiaoran to pay their respects.
"Qianqian, come quickly. The queen hasn't been able to sleep at night these past few days. Come and see if she is okay." Before Lin Qian even knelt down, the emperor had already called her.
It was good that she didn't have to kneel. Lin Qian didn't care about the emperor's oppression of her for the time being, and went to take the empress's pulse happily.
Shen Junqi smiled embarrassedly, his face was a little pale, and the dark circles under his eyes became more obvious.
"It's normal to feel hot during pregnancy. You can cover yourself with a thinner blanket when you sleep at night, or open the window for ventilation. No treatment is needed." Lin Qian took a look and found that Shen Junqi and the fetus were both healthy.
The emperor nodded, reached out and patted the back of Shen Junqi's hand, and said: "I didn't know that pregnancy was such a difficult thing. You have suffered."
Shen Junqi smiled and shook her head, touching her already bulging belly and said, "This is my child too, I don't care."
Seeing the emperor and empress displaying their affection up close, Lin Qian still felt a little uncomfortable. She finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Since the queen is fine, we will take our leave."
Wei Xiaoran was waiting for Lin Qian downstairs and looked like he was about to fall asleep out of boredom.
The emperor waved his hand and was about to ask Lin Qian and Wei Xiaoran to leave, but he was suddenly glared at by Wei Xiaoran. He suddenly remembered something and quickly asked Eunuch Su to bring an imperial edict that had been prepared long ago.
When Lin Qian saw the glaring imperial edict, she felt helpless. Well, she still couldn't escape the fate of having to kneel down, so she had to kneel down with Wei Xiaoran to receive the edict.
After a lot of gibberish, Lin Qian only understood one sentence, which was that she was conferred the title of First-Rank Lady.
The emperor had stopped looking at the two of them a long time ago. His attention was focused on Shen Junqi's belly. Lin Qian and Wei Xiaoran did not bother him too much. They received the imperial edict and left the palace.
After leaving the palace and getting in the carriage, Lin Qian asked Wei Xiaoran beside her, "Shall we go home now? How about going to Nanshan Hall?"
Wei Xiaoran now only wanted to go back quickly. He had just started having sex and he felt hot all over when he was alone with Lin Qian.
However, seeing that Lin Qian looked like she really wanted to go, Wei Xiaoran sighed helplessly. The world is big, but his wife is the most important. Finally, he could only nod and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
The carriage immediately turned and went to Nanshan Hall.
"Look, it's written in the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases..."
As soon as Lin Qian and Wei Xiaoran entered Nanshan Hall, they saw Xu Jingcheng and Huan'er sitting close together, reading a medical book.
One of them was teaching very seriously, and the other was listening very attentively. They didn't even notice that Lin Qian had arrived until the doctor on duty called out "Miss Lin" and then they both looked over.
"Master, you're here." Xu Jingcheng and Huan'er both stood up. Huan'er even trotted over, pushed Wei Xiaoran aside, and hugged Lin Qian's arm.
Lin Qian smiled and rubbed Huan'er's head, then asked, "Well, I came to see you two on the way. Huan'er, how have you been doing with your studies these days? Is there anything you don't understand?"
Xu Jingcheng and Huan'er took Lin Qian to the backyard on each side. Wei Xiaoran watched the three of them walking forward. Lin Qian ignored him. He felt aggrieved, but he had to follow them.
Huan'er said, "I'm learning very well. If there's anything I don't understand, my senior brothers will explain it to me."
Lin Qian nodded and asked about the situation in Xu Jingcheng's medicine garden. The three of them, master and apprentice, chatted for half an hour as if no one was around. Wei Xiaoran finally couldn't help it.
"Qianqian, it's almost noon, and mother should be waiting for us to eat." Wei Xiaoran pulled Lin Qian's clothes and said.
"Okay, we'll leave first. We'll come visit you two when we have time."
Xu Jingcheng and Huan'er reluctantly saw Lin Qian off, taking Wei Xiaoran with her.
When I got home, Zhang Yufang was waiting for me as expected, and all the dishes on the table were cooked according to Lin Qian's taste.
"You must be exhausted after getting up so early today, right? This is the blood swallow's nest I asked someone to cook. Drink it quickly to replenish your body." Zhang Yufang asked someone to bring a bowl of blood swallow's nest to Lin Qian.
Lin Qian didn't refuse, she took it and drank it.
Zhang Yufang looked at him and smiled even more. "You're still young. You just turned sixteen. You need to take good care of your body first. I suffered a lot back then."
When she was a child, she was a maid and served others. Later, when she got married, her mother-in-law was incompetent and her family was poor. There was nothing delicious to eat or drink. She had to wash clothes, cook and embroider, and she couldn't stop even when she was pregnant.
She almost had a miscarriage several times, but fortunately Wei Xiaoran was lucky enough to have a strong life.
Lin Qian almost spit out a mouthful of bird's nest. After stopping herself, she thought for a moment and said to Zhang Yufang, "Mom, actually, I don't plan to have a child this year. Let's talk about having a child next year."
Although she has space and spiritual spring, there is still a high chance of difficult labor if she wants to have a child at the age of sixteen. Such things are unpredictable.
She's having it next year, and she'll be seventeen. She'll be almost eighteen when the baby is born, two years older, so her body can expand a lot, and giving birth will be safer.
There is basically no need to ask Wei Xiaoran for his opinion on matters like this. He listens to Lin Qian in everything. If Lin Qian doesn't want to have a baby, Wei Xiaoran doesn't dare to force her.
After hearing this, Zhang Yufang's face remained expressionless, still smiling. She said, "For matters like this, you two should make your own decisions. You don't need to ask for my opinion."
The two children have had their own opinions since they were young. Zhang Yufang was well aware of this, so she just wanted to help Lin Qian take care of her body and was not going to interfere with anything else.
Lin Qian let out a breath and smiled, even picking up several of Zhang Yufang's favorite dishes with her chopsticks. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts have always been the most difficult to handle, but fortunately, Zhang Yufang is a reasonable person.
After dinner, Lin Qian and Wei Xiaoran went back to their own yard, and Wei Xiaoran went to the study to work. Although he had six days of honeymoon leave, he still had to do his work.
Lin Qian, on the other hand, continued to read classical medical books.
In the evening, Wei Xiaoran had dinner delivered to the room. Lin Qian felt very uncomfortable during the meal.
Wei Xiaoran took a bite with his chopsticks and looked at Lin Qian. His eyes were so sharp that Lin Qian couldn't ignore them even if she wanted to. After finally finishing the meal, Lin Qian hadn't even stood up when Wei Xiaoran grabbed her and pulled her onto the bed.
Lin Qian's face turned pale with fear, and she said hurriedly, "Brother! We have to get up early to go back home tomorrow!"
"I know, it's so close, right next door, we can sleep a little longer!" Wei Xiaoran ignored Lin Qian's resistance.
Without waiting for Lin Qian to say anything, Wei Xiaoran couldn't wait any longer, so he bent down, picked up Lin Qian, and went to the inner room.
