Chapter 236 Pregnancy Reactions
"I know!
I also thank the elderly, the weak, women and children who were willing to step forward to defend the country in times of crisis.
Didn’t you say last time that from now on, whether working or going to school in Dongling Mansion, there will be no restrictions on gender. I have no objection.
This is a right that those brave women fought for themselves, and it is what they deserve.”
Li Chengxiu agreed readily.
Jiang Wan glanced at him with a smile.
"Do all the lords in the city agree? If word gets out to other states, aren't you afraid people will point fingers at you and accuse you of being henpecked?"
"I'm not afraid of a thing! I'm so happy to have a comfortable life! If they knew, they would be so jealous!"
His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi raised his head proudly, with a silly look that put his wife first and himself second, which made his princess smile happily.
The two of them discussed everything, and the couple focused on handling the subsequent chores. They were busy and fussy for several days, arranging the affairs of Dongling Mansion and finding a way to settle Tongren.
By the time everything was back on track, time had leisurely passed until late spring and early summer.
Worried about his wife's health, Li Chengxiu decided to leave early. After all, when his father and brother wrote to scold him a few days ago, they also told him to go back.
Now that you have received the order to return to Beijing, what else is there to wait for?
Let’s go back to Beijing!
The operation of Dongling Mansion has been put on track, and everything is moving forward in an orderly manner. It doesn't matter if the prince and princess are not watching over it.
So they chose a morning with particularly good weather, and the King and Queen of Qi set out on their journey back to the capital, amid the reluctant wavings of the people of the city.
"Wife, how are you feeling? Are you dizzy or vomiting? Do you feel any discomfort in your stomach?"
Li Chengxiu leaned against his wife with a pale face. He wanted to ask eight hundred times about the one-hour journey, which made Jiang Wan glare at him in annoyance.
"I'm not dizzy, I'm not vomiting, I'm not feeling uncomfortable. If you keep complaining, get off and ride your horse. Don't bother me here!"
"Don't I feel sorry for you?"
His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi felt very aggrieved.
"And you're the one who's pregnant, so why are you not dizzy or vomiting, but I'm dizzy and vomiting today? This doesn't seem to make sense!"
Jiang Wan twitched the corners of her mouth. She seemed to have heard of such a thing in modern times, where the wife was pregnant and the husband had morning sickness. She didn't expect that it would happen to her now.
But this situation is really hard to explain, so I can only give him a perfunctory answer with all my heart.
"Are you carsick?"
"Are you kidding me? I've been riding horses and fighting for so many years. The horse's back is almost as good as my chair. How can I get carsick?"
"You said it was a horseback ride, how can it be the same as riding a car? Why don't you go down and try riding a horse?"
"No, dizzy."
He leaned his head pitifully on his wife's shoulder. As the wheel rolled forward, he felt his stomach shake and the feeling of nausea and vomiting came back.
He quickly withdrew his head and leaned over the window to dry heave a few times to slow down his strength, then he leaned back on his wife's shoulder dejectedly. This fucking feeling was so irritable that he wanted to explode!
"I've never been carsick before, have I?"
"Well, it was then and it is now. Maybe you are weak?"
Someone who had been lucky enough to escape morning sickness whispered these words with a guilty conscience. But someone unlucky enough to have sharp ears and lean in close to them instantly broke through.
"Who is weak? Who is weak? Didn't you praise me for being so powerful and majestic before? I'm a real man, a first-class talent, how could I be weak? No way!"
A real man never gives in. You can call him ugly or stupid, but you can't call him weak! This insult is a bit harsh.
Jiang Wan nodded quickly, saying that she had said the wrong thing, and then began to coax the troublemaker gently. The couple spoke sweet words and tenderly, sticking to each other in the carriage, and the couple's love was so strong that Li Song, the coachman, blushed!
A pretty big single guy, oh no, a pretty big young man, his face was as swollen as a piece of red cloth, and he didn't know where to put his ears for a moment.
After they arrived at a post station and stopped to rest, he eagerly handed over the important task of driving to Ma Fei, who already had a wife.
"Hey, bro, isn't it time for you to find a wife? You're a real man, but you can't even handle a little thing. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
As a well-fed man who already had a wife, he displayed a great sense of superiority in front of a group of hungry men, which made the single guards very angry.
Hongzhu, who had already combed her hair like a woman, was carrying a food box and preparing to serve her master. When she passed by here, she heard her man showing off again, and could only cough a few times in silence.
Ma Fei, who had just been laughing heartily and mocking single people, turned his head when he heard the noise behind him, then quickly shut up and looked serious.
Hongzhu glared at him warningly, then left with the food box, leaving behind a group of bastards who began to laugh at Ma Fei.
"Oh, you're really promising!"
Cheng Zhuo is a man of few words, but his words usually hit the nail on the head. Li Song is not in a good mood either. He twisted his mouth, trying not to laugh too obviously.
"Brother Ma, you are indeed a talented person!"
Ma Fei raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, with a look of superiority on his face.
"I'm not henpecked, I'm respectful!
Just like how our prince respects his princess! You young men without wives, what the hell do you understand?
It’s time to eat, feed the horses, we have to get going soon!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared.
Hongzhu carried the food box into the inn lobby, where the masters were sitting and waiting. She quickly went forward and placed the food box on the table. Hongxiu helped to lift the lid and took out bag after bag of candied fruit.
"Your Highness, please try some sour plums to calm your nerves. It's no use vomiting all the time without eating. Could you try some candied fruit to change your appetite, or even just a few more dishes later?"
When the maid mentioned the dishes, Li Chengxiu thought of the braised pork from earlier, and he vomited again, clutching the basin. Jiang Wan, sitting nearby, quickly patted his back to soothe him, then took the teacup from Hongzhu and brought it to his lips.
"Rinse your mouth quickly, it will make you feel better."
His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, who vomited until tears came to his eyes, rinsed his mouth with the Princess's hand, then leaned weakly on her shoulder, with a look of despair on his face.
"Wife, can we just have this one child? No matter if it's a boy or a girl, let's just have this one, okay?
We have brothers and sisters on both sides, and neither the Li family nor the Jiang family expects to rely on us to continue the family line.
Is it okay for you to just have this one child?
Please!
The weak tone matched with the pitiful expression, you could actually see a little bit of fragility in this big and strong man.
The master and the servant all turned their heads away and suppressed their laughter out of respect for His Majesty the Prince of Qi.
