Chapter 281 His Majesty will soon be an uncle
In the following days, the ice and snow on the ground melted, green buds and red flowers sprouted from the branches, and the ground was covered with lush green grass.
Qin Yizhen didn't dare to go out for the past few days, afraid of catching a cold. After finally getting through five or six days, Mr. Hu's cold got better, so he came to take her pulse.
Cheng Yan happened to be on leave at home that day and was keeping her company. When he noticed that the hot water bottle in her hand wasn't hot enough, he asked Granny Gui to give her a new one.
Mr. Hu washed his hands with hot water, dried them, and then took Qin Yizhen's pulse. Both of them watched nervously.
After Mr. Hu withdrew his hand from his pulse, Cheng Yan asked him, "How is it?"
"Yes, it is."
Everyone in the room was overjoyed to hear this. Qin Yizhen patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that her hopes would be dashed, but now that everything was settled, she was truly happy.
Cheng Yan nodded, then asked, "But why is she afraid of the cold?"
He carefully consulted books and learned that after a woman becomes pregnant, her preferences and personality will change, such as becoming sensitive and thoughtful, irritable, prone to crying, dizzy, experiencing morning sickness, being sleepy, craving sour, spicy, or sweet flavors.
I've never seen her like this before; even though she's dressed warmly, she still seems to be cold.
Mr. Hu said, "It must be because the snow has melted in the past few days. Some pregnant women are more sensitive to changes in the weather. Besides, the princess just got pregnant in the last two days, so it's normal."
"But she always feels cold, what could it be?" Cheng Yan frowned, feeling very worried.
"Don't go out these days, and don't turn off the fire on the kang (heated brick bed). But make sure to put on thick bedding, as it's not good if it's too hot. In a few more days, when the spring breeze warms up, it should be much better."
"Don't I need to take medicine?" Qin Yizhen was still a little worried. "How about Mr. Hu prescribe two doses of medicine to prevent miscarriage?"
"No need, no need." Mr. Hu shook his head repeatedly. "If you can avoid taking medicine, it's best not to. Those who need to take medicine are usually prescribed it out of necessity because of some problem."
“The princess is well and the child is healthy, there is really no need for that. The princess and the marquis need not worry too much. Your subordinate is at the residence. If you feel unwell anywhere, the princess can simply send someone to call you.”
Although Mr. Hu was tired of being a royal physician and came to the Pingxi Marquis's residence to retire, he still had to be on the receiving end of their livelihood, and with the mistress pregnant, he had to be extra careful and attentive to her.
Thinking of this, Mr. Hu also added, "By the way, it would be best to find a female physician who knows some medical skills to serve the princess, preferably someone who is good at things like pregnancy and childbirth."
Speaking of female physician attendants, we've been talking about finding one for a long time, but we haven't been able to choose one yet.
Qin Yizhen looked at Granny Gui: "Go ask Granny Jin, it seems she was in charge of this matter before."
Granny Gui nodded: "I will go and ask in a moment."
Mr. Hu also said, "It would be best to arrange one."
Men and women are different. Although Mr. Hu is a doctor, there are indeed many inconveniences in taking care of pregnant women. Having a knowledgeable person around can better take care of the princess and the child, and ensure a smooth delivery in the future.
After taking the pulse, Mr. Hu left quickly. Qin Yizhen urged Cheng Yan to go to the palace to inform Empress Dowager Cheng and Emperor Jing'an of the news.
Cheng Yan watched the servants leave, then kissed her cheek: "You really want me to leave?"
"You're not leaving and never coming back." Qin Yizhen rolled her eyes at him. "Just come back soon, come back quickly, the child and I both want you to be with us."
Give me back 'me and my child'. This child is only a month old, what does he know?
However, this word is indeed very touching; he has family and a home.
His childhood was tough, and he lost a lot. Now it seems that God is making up for it little by little. He has a wife and children, and in the future, his children will have children of their own. He has more people who love him, and he loves even more people.
Cheng Yan was reluctant to leave, but Qin Yizhen urged him twice before he finally left reluctantly. He rode a horse and soon arrived at the capital.
Empress Dowager Cheng was instructing Emperor Jing'an on how to handle memorials when she heard of his arrival. She was somewhat surprised and had him invited in, then asked him, "Why have you come so suddenly?"
"Greetings, Your Majesty, greetings, Empress Dowager." Cheng Yan bowed and then said to the two, "Yizhen is pregnant."
Empress Dowager Cheng was stunned for a moment, then burst into joy: "Really?"
Cheng Yan said, "Of course it's true."
"That's wonderful!" Empress Dowager Cheng had been longing for this child for a long time, and now that she was finally pregnant, she felt completely at ease.
From then on, she could finally rest easy about her younger brother.
"Then you must take good care of Yizhen and don't make her angry again. Pregnancy and childbirth are very hard for women. As her husband, you need to be understanding and loving, and go along with her more in everything."
Cheng Yan thought to himself, "When did I make her angry?"
But now is not the time to argue about this, he smiled and nodded in agreement.
Emperor Jing'an was in a daze, and it took him a while to react: "So, Sister Yizhen is pregnant? My uncle is going to be a father?"
"Yes, your uncle is about to become a father." Empress Dowager Cheng's face was full of smiles. "In the blink of an eye, you have all grown up."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jing'an immediately replied, "Mother, I am still young."
He was only thirteen years old, still a young boy. Even if he were an emperor, he couldn't wait for him to grow up. But could he at least act like a child in front of his mother and uncle?
"Yes, yes, you're still young." Empress Dowager Cheng didn't hold it against him and immediately called over Eunuch De, "Go to the storeroom and pick out some tonics for Yizhen. Also, pick out an extra piece of fabric to make clothes for Yizhen and the child."
Grandpa De immediately agreed and then went to make preparations.
Therefore, when Cheng Yan returned from the palace, he brought back two carriages full of goods and also a boy who had grown a little taller.
When Emperor Jing'an arrived at the Marquis of Pingxi's residence, he couldn't wait any longer and had someone take him to see Qin Yizhen.
Qin Yizhen was genuinely surprised to see him: "Why has Your Majesty come?"
"Let me take a look." Emperor Jing'an's eyes darted back and forth over Qin Yizhen, seemingly full of curiosity: "Sister Yizhen, do you really have a child?"
"Yes." Qin Yizhen smiled and said happily, "His Majesty will soon be an uncle."
"Really? Then can he stay by my side like I used to, when I was with my uncle?"
Qin Yizhen covered her mouth and laughed: "The child is too young, it won't do. When he/she is older, let him/her come to the palace to see you often."
"Yeah."
When Cheng Yan returned, the siblings were chatting happily with the child. Emperor Jing'an even suggested that the child be taken to the palace to study with him.
Sometimes new life is just so magical, filling people with anticipation and joy.
Even he was looking forward to his arrival.
