Chapter 387: Chicken Soup for the Soul is Delicious
Jiang Wan looked at the left hand that was covering his stomach, then looked at Hongzhu who didn't know what to say. After a moment, he nodded in sudden realization, with a look of surprise and inquiry on his face.
"You, are you...?"
"Um."
Seeing that her master didn't seem unhappy, Hongzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded vigorously.
"Really? Are you really pregnant?"
It would be impossible not to be surprised. After all, Doctor Sun's reputation as a gynecological expert was not exaggerated. He had previously asserted that Hongzhu would have difficulty conceiving, so it must be that she had a difficult time getting pregnant.
So what is happening now?
When Hongzhu was about to become one of the first practitioners of the marriage law and restore the freedom of being single, this child rushed to his parents in a hurry?
"Put your hand here, and I'll take your pulse."
"yes."
A slender, snow-white hand touched the slightly beating pulse with familiarity. The pulse was continuous and smooth like a ball, and it was undoubtedly a slippery pulse.
Surprised and happy, Jiang Wan withdrew his hand and quickly asked the pregnant woman to sit down.
"Stop standing there and sit down and talk. This is quite a coincidence. It shows that most things in this world happen by chance. Congratulations, Hongzhu, you're going to be a mother!"
"master…"
Hongzhu sat carefully at the bottom, with many unspeakable meanings in her tone.
"You, you don't blame me?"
"Why do you blame me?"
Jiang Wan looked at her strangely, not understanding why the girl asked such a question. Suddenly, her mind jumped, and she thought of some very dramatic plots in melodramatic novels. So she secretly moved a little closer to her personal secretary, lowering her voice very low.
"You kid, um, did you come here by a good way?"
"………master!"
The question made Hongzhu's face turn red with embarrassment after she realized what was happening. This made the Empress, who was becoming more and more like the Emperor and loved to pry into things, step back several times in embarrassment.
"If you have something to say, please talk it over. Don't you want to yell? I'm just concerned about you. It was you who seemed so hesitant and embarrassed to speak just now. So I must have thought the wrong thing, didn't I?"
"How could you possibly think like that?
I can't bring myself to speak because I feel I've let you down. I shouldn't have gone back on my word and gotten pregnant after you'd stood up for me and made such a big fuss about getting the marriage law. A servant shouldn't betray her master.
But I don’t know how I got pregnant. I clearly had my period last month. Master, I’m sorry. I really didn’t mean to cause you any trouble. I…”
"stop!"
Jiang Wan was almost dizzy from her series of nonsensical chatter, and quickly reached out to stop this guy who suddenly became a chatterbox and continued to output mental power.
"So, all the words I just said were in vain?
This child of yours was born in an upright way. He is your legitimate child, legally, compliantly, and reasonably. Oh, that means he is the eldest son of you and Ma Fei!
Why do you feel sorry for me? You didn’t steal from me…”
After thinking for a moment, she realized that she shouldn't say the following words, so she quickly bit off the words and changed the subject in time.
"Well, don't feel any pressure. It's not easy to successfully conceive a child. This baby might be your only child in this life, so you have to raise him/her carefully.
I am not that kind of black-hearted boss who only cares about his own career and doesn't let his subordinates live a normal life.
You can feel free to get pregnant and give birth without any worries. If you have any tasks at hand, find opportunities to share them with others. I will definitely not deliberately replace you with someone else while you are pregnant and giving birth.
I'm not the kind of person who likes to get rid of people after they've done their work, don't worry! "
He looked at Hongzhu who had a dazed look in her eyes, then picked up a bowl of chicken soup for the soul in a gentle tone and drank it down gulps with skillful technique.
"You've been with me for quite some time, and I know you're a very good person. Hongzhu, don't ever feel sorry for anyone.
Whether it is towards your superiors, your husband, or your future offspring, never embarrass yourself by living a guilt-ridden lifestyle.
In my country, every woman is free. Do you know why I am trying so hard to promote the marriage law? Do you know what this marriage law represents?
"Miss, Hongzhu knows. You are trying every possible way to find a way out for us women, a better way to go!"
Great love is silent but can easily make people's eyes moist. Hongzhu is really grateful to God for allowing her to meet her lady in her already very bad life.
“It’s good that you know.
So, it's up to you to decide. If you don't want a divorce, you can choose not to divorce. If you want a child, you can choose to have one.
The existence of this marriage law is the first right of choice that we have strived to gain for women!
Of course, there will be more and more choices in the future. There are thousands of ways to go in the world, and as long as we dare to break through the thorns, there will be a way to the sky waiting for us.
As long as I am here, as long as my title as the Mother of the Nation remains in Dayu, I will do everything I can for this world!"
The queen's eyes were bright and warm, as if all the people in the world were treated equally in her eyes.
“I hope my country can get better and better, and I hope my people can get better and better.
No matter whether that person is old, weak, female or child, healthy or disabled, they are all part of our Dayu.
Although I cannot achieve universal peace and equality for all, I still hope that my country will continue to improve, and that my people will continue to improve. I hope that our hard work now will be recognized by those who come after us!
Perhaps many, many years later, those women who have already lived a good life will be able to speak of us women of this era with joy and respect.
"And then, a word of praise for being a pioneer is enough to satisfy our lifelong aspirations. What do you think?"
"Master, you are a virtuous man with lofty ambitions. Even though I am humble, I am willing to follow you for life, without regrets, whether in life or death!"
Inspired by the bright future described by her master, Hongzhu's cheeks flushed. She felt as if she had been endowed with a magical power that made her full of energy and hope for the future.
Well,,,
I just accidentally boasted just now, how come Hongzhu was so moved that she looked like a man who was willing to die for his friend?
Jiang Wan came back to his senses and laughed dryly twice.
“…Haha, that’s all for the future!
As the old saying goes, you should eat your meal one bite at a time and walk your path one step at a time. Let's focus on the things we have at hand first.
You see, it's not easy for you to get pregnant. Why don't you go home and take good care of the baby?"
"No need! Thank you for your concern, Master. I am in good health and don't need to go back to rest for the time being."
