Chapter 110: Pregnancy in Summer
After Xia Yanjing entered the palace with the eunuchs, he was arranged in a palace. Shengxia was unable to get away at this time. After all, the emperor died suddenly, and she was afraid that someone would take advantage of the chaos to do something.
It was not until dinner time that Shengxia found time to see Xia Yanjing. The lovers who had not seen each other for many days did not care about the eyes of others and hugged each other tightly.
"You all go down." Shengxia said to the eunuch serving at the door.
"Yes, General." Everyone responded in unison.
"Xia Xia, eat more. You look so thin." Xia Yanjing took Sheng Xia's hand and sat down. He kept serving Sheng Xia dishes, all of which were Sheng Xia's favorite dishes.
"Okay." Shengxia said with a smile as he looked at the bowls piled up in front of him. He had been busy with work these days and had not eaten well. Looking at his favorite meals, Shengxia's appetite increased rarely.
At first, the two of them were talking and laughing while eating, but Xia Yanjing soon noticed something strange. His Xia Xia seemed to be eating especially hard today. This was already the third bowl of rice he had added.
Xia Yanjing looked down at the bowl he was using. It wasn't much different from the one he used at home. He usually only ate two bowls in midsummer, and this bowl was almost empty.
When seeing Shengxia preparing to add the fourth bowl, Xia Yanjing couldn't help but remind her, "Xia Xia seems very hungry today."
"Yes, my appetite is particularly good today." Shengxia herself didn't think there was anything wrong.
Xia Yanjing supported his chin and watched Shengxia eating with great relish. A light bulb suddenly lit up in his head: his Xia Xia might be pregnant. Thinking of this, Xia Yanjing could no longer sit still.
Xia Xia has been looking forward to having a child for more than four years, but if he guessed wrong, he was afraid that his Xia Xia would be disappointed and sad.
"Xia Xia, you have been very busy these days. I am worried that you are not eating or sleeping well at home. Why don't you ask the imperial physician to check on your health? Then I can feel at ease, okay?" Xia Yanjing even acted like a spoiled child to get Sheng Xia's consent.
"Okay." Shengxia always fell for Xia Yanjing's tricks and surrendered immediately.
"Someone, go and get the imperial physician." Xia Yanjing walked to the door and instructed the eunuch standing in the yard.
"Yes. Thank you, sir." The eunuch had been instructed earlier that as long as the requests made by the people in the palace were not excessive, they should comply.
The imperial physician quickly came with the medicine box. After all, General Sheng was a big favorite of the new emperor, so he naturally did not dare to neglect him.
"Come quickly, take General Sheng's pulse and see if he is in good health." Xia Yanjing greeted him hurriedly when he saw the imperial physician coming in.
The imperial physician put down the medicine box, placed a wrist pillow under Shengxia's wrist, covered it with a silk scarf, then placed his hand on it and began to take her pulse.
Xia Yanjing was extremely nervous and kept observing the imperial physician's expression, but he couldn't see anything.
After a cup of tea, the imperial physician withdrew his hand, raised his smiling face and said, "Congratulations, General Sheng, and thank you, my dear. General Sheng is now pregnant and has been pregnant for over a month."
"Really, Imperial Physician?" Xia Yanjing confirmed excitedly.
"Of course it's true. I have been practicing medicine for decades, and I will never make a mistake in diagnosing a happy pulse." The imperial physician was very confident in his medical skills.
After hearing this, Xia Yanjing fumbled in his arms and handed all the banknotes in his arms to the imperial physician. "Imperial physician, please tell me if there is anything I need to pay attention to."
"Try not to do any strenuous exercise and overwork in the first three months. After three months, you need to pay attention to balanced nutrition intake and keep a happy mood. Remember to eat small meals frequently, otherwise the fetus will grow too large and delivery will be painful." The imperial physician explained to Xia Yanjing concisely and clearly.
"Okay, okay, I've taken note of it. I wonder if Xia Xia needs to take some pregnancy-maintaining medicine." Xia Yanjing asked carefully.
"General Sheng is in good health and does not need to take any pregnancy-maintaining medicine. Sir Xie, don't worry." The imperial physician almost said that Sheng Xia was strong and healthy and did not need any supplements at all.
"That's good, that's good." During the whole process, Xia Yanjing was like a primary school student in class. He wrote down every word the imperial physician said, making sure not to miss any key points.
During Xia Yanjing's consultation, Shengxia sat on a stool, gently stroking her belly with one hand. The child she had been waiting for for so many years was finally here, and she couldn't help but shed tears.
Xia Yanjing was chatting enthusiastically with the imperial physician and didn't notice Shengxia's mood for a while. Shengxia was also immersed in the joy of having a child at this time.
After Xia Yanjing sent the imperial physician away, he looked at Shengxia happily, but saw that Shengxia's eyes were slightly red. Xia Yanjing asked with concern, "Xia Xia, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, it's just that he came suddenly and I was a little happy." Shengxia said with a smile.
"Xia Xia, I don't know what to say at this moment."
"I think you will be a good father." Shengxia looked at Xia Yanjing who looked silly and said seriously.
"We will be good dads and good fathers." Xia Yanjing half-knelt in front of Shengxia and responded with the same seriousness.
The news of Sheng Xia's pregnancy soon reached Wei Rong's ears. Wei Rong was happy for Sheng Xia and Xia Yanjing. Soon he sent someone to deliver the news to Sheng Mansion. Presumably, someone in Sheng Mansion would pass the news to Sheng Yuan.
At Shilin Villa, the moment Sheng Yuan heard the funeral bell, he took Wei Yang and rushed to the capital. After returning to Sheng Mansion and learning that Sheng Xia was fine, he continued on his journey with Wei Yang. Their destination this time was the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After Sheng Yuan and Wei Yang arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, the soldiers guarding the Mansion knew Sheng Yuan and let them pass directly.
Upon learning that Zhao Quan had committed suicide and Xie Zhi was still holding on to a glimmer of hope in her room, Sheng Yuan took Wei Yang straight to Xie Zhi's room.
"No one is needed here, you can retreat first." Sheng Yuan ordered the soldiers outside the door.
"Yes." After hearing this, the soldier left Xie Zhi's yard.
Hearing the sound outside the door, Xie Zhi stood up nervously, and then saw Sheng Yuan walking in with a man wearing a veil.
"Sheng Yuan, what are you doing here?" Xie Zhi looked at Sheng Yuan nervously and asked.
"Father-in-law, how are you?" Wei Yang took off his veil and looked at Xie Zhi.
"You, you, you, aren't you dead?" The moment Xie Zhi saw Wei Yang, she was so shocked that she took a few steps back, suspecting that she had seen a ghost.
"I'm sorry to disappoint my father-in-law, I'm not dead." Wei Yang said with a smile.
"Bitch, did you kill Yang'er and harm Yu'er?" Xie Zhi used to beat or scold Wei Yang, and for a moment he even acted like his father-in-law.
"Xie Zhi, have you forgotten your current situation?" Wei Yang stepped forward and slapped Xie Zhi in the face, saying with a cold expression.
