An expression of surprise and astonishment appeared on Shen Qing's face.
Jiang Zhuo raised his hand slightly, motioning the imperial physician to come closer. He lowered his voice and said, "Let's not make this public for now. The month is still young, and everything is not stable yet."
The imperial physician nodded quickly and replied, "Don't worry, Lord Jiang. I understand."
"We will announce it once the pregnancy is stable."
The imperial physician replied respectfully, "Master Jiang has given it careful consideration. I will keep my mouth shut."
Jiang Zhuo nodded slightly, his eyes moving to the window, as if in deep thought.
After a moment, he turned to look at the imperial physician and reminded him again: "During this period, you must pay special attention to the condition of His Majesty's pregnancy. Don't be negligent in the slightest."
The imperial physician solemnly promised: "Don't worry, Lord Jiang, I will do my best to ensure the health of Your Majesty and the dragon fetus."
After the imperial physician left, Shen Qing sat on the couch, her hand unconsciously stroking her belly, which had not yet shown any sign of pregnancy, and murmured to herself, "I'm actually, pregnant."
Jiang Zhuo held her in his arms and kissed her forehead softly, "Qingqing, we are having a baby."
Chen Qing hugged Jiang Zhuo's waist back. At this moment, she no longer had the majesty of the past, but was rarely full of tenderness.
For the first three months, Shen Qing didn't feel anything at all. She only knew that her belly was indeed getting bigger day by day.
"You're so obedient." Shen Qing touched his belly with satisfaction.
I thought pregnancy was going to be very difficult, but it's just normal.
Three months later.
The news that Shen Qing was pregnant spread throughout the palace like a spring breeze, and the entire palace was immersed in joy.
However, after the fetus becomes stable, some unexpected changes occur.
for example……
Jiang Zhuo, Bai Runyi and others took meticulous care of Shen Qing. Every day's meals were carefully selected and cooked, and the palace maids always surrounded Shen Qing, fearing that she would be neglected in the slightest.
Sunlight streamed through the window into Shen Qing's bedroom. Jiang Zhuo walked in, carrying a bowl of nourishing soup, his face full of concern. "Qingqing, come here, drink this soup. It's good for you and the baby."
Shen Qing frowned, looking reluctant: “It’s the same every day, I’m tired of drinking it.”
Jiang Zhuo coaxed patiently: "Be obedient, this is also for you and the child."
Shen Qing curled her lips: "I just want to eat something from the stall outside."
Jiang Zhuo shook his head helplessly: "Those are too greasy, you will feel uncomfortable if you eat them."
But Shen Qing refused to give in: "I don't care, I just want to eat."
"Lord Jiang, just let Qingqing eat! She has had a very poor appetite these days, so don't stop her." Bai Runyi walked in from outside.
Shen Qing took the opportunity to hold Bai Runyi's hand: "Miss, you still understand me. I really want to eat candied haws, wontons and roasted sweet potatoes outside."
Jiang Zhuo sighed: "I really can't do anything about you. I sent someone to buy some, but I can only eat a little."
Shen Qing nodded vigorously.
But is it okay to eat it only once?
Shen Qing changed into the clothes of a palace maid and quietly slipped to the market outside the palace. She bought whatever she wanted to eat, her face full of satisfaction.
Just when she was enjoying her meal, Jiang Zhuo came over with his guards.
He stood not far away and looked at her back helplessly.
"Master, won't you go over?"
"Wait a little longer." Jiang Zhuo sighed.
It was rare for him to see her so happy, so he let her eat for a while.
He waited until it was almost time before walking over.
Jiang Zhuo looked helpless and a little angry: "Qingqing."
"Lord Jiang, I really couldn't help it." Shen Qing still had wontons in her mouth and said vaguely: "I'll eat it this time, I really want to eat it. If you stop me, I won't love you anymore."
"Okay, I won't stop you next time, but you can't sneak out again. I'll send someone to buy it."
"Jiang Zhuo, you are so nice! I decided to love you again!"
As the pregnancy progressed, Shen Qing's belly grew bigger and bigger. Gradually, her rebellious heart calmed down a lot.
Six months.
Shen Qing leaned on the couch and yawned. Bai Runyi walked in and saw her lazy look. He chuckled and said, "Qingqing, you are getting lazier and lazier now."
Shen Qing rubbed his eyes: "I don't know why, I always feel sleepy recently and want to sleep."
Bai Runyi said: "This is normal. Pregnant women tend to be sleepy. You should get some rest."
Bai Runyi has been staying with Shen Qing in the palace these days. She said she must see the birth of Shen Qing's child with her own eyes.
Shen Qing nodded and fell asleep soon after.
Bai Runyi saw Shen Qing sleeping soundly and gently covered her with a thin blanket. She had been very tired during this period of time. She felt that Shen Qing was not as energetic as before.
Shen Qing ate and slept almost every day. Occasionally, after dozing off in the court, she simply skipped attending court and let Jiang Zhuo do it for her.
And she was just lazing around... no, she was just taking care of her pregnancy.
Shen Qing was already the emperor, and no one dared to mess with her after she became pregnant.
This is Dongli’s future!
A few days before Shen Qing was about to give birth, the entire palace was filled with an atmosphere of tension and anticipation.
However, surprisingly, Shen Qing himself seemed calm and composed, and still ate and slept as usual every day.
On the contrary, Jiang Zhuo was as nervous as an ant on a hot pot. At night, Shen Qing slept peacefully on the bed, while Jiang Zhuo tossed and turned beside him, unable to fall asleep.
As long as Shen Qing turned over slightly, he would wake up from his light sleep like a frightened bird and come over to check nervously.
The afternoon sun streamed through the window lattice onto the soft couch in the bedroom. Shen Qing, dressed in a loose brocade robe, lay lazily on the couch, her cloud-like hair casually scattered over her shoulders.
She ate an apple in one hand and supported her head with the other hand, looking at the anxious Jiang Zhuo.
"Master Jiang."
"What's wrong? Qingqing, are you feeling unwell?"
Jiang Zhuo hurried over and sat down beside the couch, his eyes full of tension and concern.
Shen Qing grabbed his hand and placed it on her bulging belly.
Jiang Zhuo was cautious and didn't dare to move.
Shen Qing raised the corners of his mouth and said softly: "Don't be so cautious, you make me uncomfortable."
Jiang Zhuo raised his head, his eyes filled with anxiety: "Qingqing, my heart is always in turmoil, afraid that something unexpected will happen."
Shen Qing held Jiang Zhuo's hand and comforted him: "Don't worry too much, everything will be fine, the child and I will be fine."
"But I'm terribly worried when I think about the pain you'll have to endure during childbirth."
Shen Qing smiled and gently patted the back of Jiang Zhuo's hand with his other hand: "Master Jiang, I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"
Jiang Zhuo nodded, his eyes fell on Shen Qing's belly again, and he murmured to himself: "Little guy, you have to be good and don't let your mother suffer."
Occasionally, the sound of two people whispering could be heard in the bedroom, which seemed very warm.
Sometimes Shen Qing really thought that Jiang Zhuo was the pregnant person, because he was more anxious than her, and sometimes even vomited more violently than her.
