Lu Shiqing walked out of the palace like a wandering soul and got on the carriage back home. He was in a daze for a long time.
He really lost to Yuan Cixian. God knows what a miserable life he has been leading for the past month.
Since the last time she realized that he had tormented her all night in vain, she learned her lesson and began to study the art of sex diligently, vowing to make every hard work bear fruit. During the days when she was most likely to get pregnant, she would seduce him day and night, asking him to hoe the fields at night and plant rice early in the morning.
This kind of thing is very exciting. For example, when he is sitting in the study working, she can suddenly crawl out from under the desk and pull off his belt. Another example is when he is taking a bath in the bathroom, she will use the excuse of going to the bathroom to jump into his bathtub.
He was just tasting it for the first time, and was full of blood. How could he stand such a trick? He told her to stop teasing him, but his hands and feet were not under his control and he retreated step by step. He thought that her previous harsh words were indeed true, and whether to have a child was really up to her. He was like an ox, sweating and working hard. In the past month, he had galloped everywhere.
But Lu Shiqing was not without foresight. In order to prevent her from giving birth too quickly and leaving him alone for ten months, he always retreated at the critical moment several times. After a few times, Yuan Cixian became anxious and when she saw him trying to escape, she would cling to him and hold on tightly. He had no choice but to give up struggling and was trapped inside.
So it's not surprising that she got pregnant after working so hard.
Lu Shiqing sighed all the way back to the mansion. He got off the carriage and walked quickly inside. When he saw Shi Cui, he asked, "Has the doctor come to see me?"
He had only asked casually, not expecting a negative answer, but she actually replied: "My dear, the doctor hasn't arrived yet."
Lu Shiqing stopped abruptly and stood in front of Yuan Cixian's door.
Seeing him stunned, Shi Cui hurriedly explained: "But Madam checked her own pulse and it seemed very positive."
“…” She took her own pulse and found out she was pregnant. She was really capable.
Lu Shiqing opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. After a while, he realized that there was no need to waste words with Shi Cui. He could just go in directly, so he pushed the door open and walked in.
Yuan Cihan was sitting cross-legged on a low couch, with her right arm stretched out with the palm facing up, three fingers of her left hand pressing on the pulse of her right wrist. She tilted her head and frowned, looking like a living god. When she heard the door being pushed open, she hurriedly asked through the screen, "Is the doctor here?" She probably thought it was a maid who came in.
"I'm here."
Yuan Cixian was stunned for a moment before she saw the speaker walking around the screen. She asked in surprise, "You are in the palace, why are you back at this hour?"
Lu Shiqing choked. The news just reported actually had nothing to do with her. Although she had been pestering him for a child recently, she always knew her limits and would not interfere with his work. He had specially ordered the servants who came to Daming Palace to stay in the mansion to keep an eye on her. I guess they heard that she was pregnant and hurried over to report the news.
This time, if Yuan Cixian took the wrong pulse, the Lu family might be deceiving the emperor.
But that's not important.
He sat down beside the low couch and asked instead of answering, "Did you really feel pregnant?"
Yuan Cixian knew why he suddenly came back after hearing this, and nodded affirmatively: "It must be right this time!"
Her period had been delayed for more than ten days, and she called the doctor again in fear for the first two days. But perhaps because her pulse had not yet shown any signs, the doctor did not tell her the truth, and only told her not to worry and to wait for a few more days. Later, she saw that she had no other obvious symptoms, so she stopped bothering the doctor to run around in vain, and simply tried to learn how to feel the pulse of pregnancy.
You can call 30 times a day, anytime, anywhere, easily and cheaply.
But since Lu Shiqing had spent a whole night worrying about her last time, he no longer dared to trust her. Seeing that the doctor had not arrived yet and he had nothing to do, he grabbed her wrist and started to cry out like her.
Yuan Cixian moved closer to him, rested her chin on his shoulder, and looked at him expectantly: "Did you feel it? It's sizzling."
Lu Shiqing twitched his mouth: "Wait a moment." After that, he raised his head and chest, relaxed his breathing, and pressed down with his fingers.
"Is it smooth and fluent? It should mean smooth and round, like beads rolling on a jade plate?"
"…" He felt it silently for a while, then turned his head and said truthfully, "I didn't feel it."
Yuan Cixian was unhappy, pulled her hand out, and said disdainfully: "It's you who don't know how to cry."
Every profession has its own expertise. Lu Shiqing really doesn't know how to do this. Seeing how eager she is to have a child, he didn't want to discourage her. He grabbed her hand again and held it in his palm, admitting, "I don't know how to call."
She glanced at him and said, "Why don't you go and get a doctor for me?"
Lu Shiqing choked, feeling that this scene was very familiar, just like last year when Jiang Birou had a miscarriage in the Lu residence and she treated him, a minister, as a servant and asked him to go get a doctor.
It's just that she lived here without any legitimate reason at that time, but now she is her legally married wife.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that even if she asked him to bring a basin of water for washing her feet, he would be willing to do so.
Lu Shiqing got up to urge people, and soon brought back a doctor named Ge. He watched him take Yuan Cixian's pulse with his own eyes.
This doctor named Ge Zheng was quite famous in Chang'an City. He usually practiced medicine in the pharmacy and seldom made home visits. It was only because of the Lu family's great reputation that they could hire such a figure.
Yuan Cixian started to act like a scoundrel to the old man again: "Doctor Ge, when I saw your face, I felt that you are more likable than Doctor Fang last time. Your rosy forehead shows that you are pregnant."
Ge Zheng stretched out his hand and touched her lightly, and said calmly, "Madam Lu, if you keep talking, your pulse will run away."
Yuan Cixian's lips pursed and she looked at Lu Shiqing who was standing beside her.
Lu Shiqing nodded his chin, signaling her to sit still. Even if she was really pregnant, it would only take a month at most. Now it was really difficult to feel the pulse, so there was no need to rush.
The room fell silent. Lu Shiqing stared at Doctor Ge with bated breath. After he had rubbed Yuan Cixian's left and right hands and removed the pillow, he asked, "Doctor Ge?"
Ge Zheng stood up and bowed to him: "Congratulations, Minister Lu, Ling Zheng is indeed pregnant."
At first, Lu Shiqing was afraid that it was just another misunderstanding, and he didn't really believe Yuan Cixian's lies. Now his head was dizzy, and his hands behind his back were shaking. He asked calmly, "Is your pulse stable?"
Ge Zheng shook his head.
Unstable? His heart sank, and he was about to ask, so he listened to his explanation first: "The central pulse and the lower pulse are both strong, it is very likely that they are twins in the same pregnancy. This pulse is temporarily unstable."
Lu Shiqing was so excited that his legs went weak. He reached out to support the table and asked, "What did you say?"
*
It was difficult for ordinary doctors to identify the pulse of twins, but Ge Zhengzheng was a skilled doctor, and he was very accurate. Seeing that the situation was special, he explained a lot of things to pay attention to, such as diet. The Lu family got the news and became busy.
Lu Shiqing was originally happy and worried, but when he heard that it was twins, he felt that this diet was very worthwhile. He sat beside the low couch and stared at Yuan Cixian, who was also caught off guard and hadn't recovered for a long time. He was the first to accept the glorious fact that he was indeed gifted. He carefully reached out his hand to feel her lower abdomen and asked, "Can it really hold two?"
He looked at her belly, which had no extra fat at all, and it looked barely full.
Yuan Cixian was a little unconvinced when she heard this. She thrust out her still very flat belly towards him and said, "It can get bigger!"
Lu Shiqing couldn't help laughing, and then he saw her rushing over and hugging his neck, and asked proudly: "Two in one, am I awesome?"
She rushed around like that, not even afraid of pressing on her belly.
Lu Shiqing avoided her slightly and raised his eyebrows, "Should I ask you this?"
"What's so great about you?" Yuan Cixian sneered, "I just counted on my fingers, this baby must have been conceived when I was on top."
"..." Lu Shiqing choked and asked, "Which time?" It seemed that he was usually the one working on it.
She answered shamelessly: "You were writing documents in the study and I climbed onto your chair."
Lu Shiqing said "Oh" and recalled: "Didn't he go to the desk later?" He also destroyed a stack of official documents and asked him to go back to work and copy books until his hands were sore that night.
"You were standing on the table, not on top of me."
Lu Shiqing's lower abdomen tightened when she said that. He frowned and said, "Stop it."
If he continued talking, the two little men in his head would move.
Yuan Cixian smiled slyly: "It's all my credit anyway."
The two of them argued about the credit for a long time until the servant came and said that Xuan was calling them to have lunch.
Yuan Cixian hadn't shown any symptoms of lovemaking or anorexia, but she was indeed hungry, so she swung her legs and got off the bed. Lu Shiqing grabbed her arm, frowned, and asked, "How did you get off the bed?" Then he helped her sit upright and helped her out like an eighty-year-old woman.
"… "
Yuan Cihan felt that he was being overly cautious, but after all she had never been pregnant, so she thought that after all she was pregnant, it would be better to be cautious. With his support, she took very small steps and moved towards the hall inch by inch.
When they came to the stairs, they both stopped. Lu Shiqing walked down one step first, then stretched out his arms to make a gesture that he could catch her at any time, and then waited for her to walk down slowly. As a result, it took nearly two incense sticks to walk this short distance.
Xuan waited in the hall until the meal had gotten cold. When she was eagerly waiting, she saw from afar the two people who were unable to move. She was stunned and could not help but hold her forehead with her hand.
Lu Shuangyu beside her said that she was not feeling well and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong, mother?"
She shook her head to indicate that nothing was wrong, smoothed her chest, and said, "How could I give birth to such a stupid son..."
Another half a quarter of an hour later, Lu Shiqing finally put aside all the difficulties and obstacles, and lightly supported Yuan Cixian to the hall, and greeted Xuan who had been waiting for a long time with apology: "Mother."
She really wanted to say that she didn't have a son as stupid as him, but she held back and said, "We were just walking, why are you holding Cixian to embroider?"
Lu Shiqing choked: "Mother, she is pregnant."
"If you are pregnant, you have to leave like this. You might as well ask the court for a nine-month leave and stay at home every day to support Cixian."
Yuan Cixian frowned when she heard this and immediately let go of Lu Shiqing's hand: "That's right, I told you not to make such a fuss! Look at mother, she is so knowledgeable."
“…” When did she say this? Wasn’t she feeling very comfortable being supported by him just now
Okay, he admitted it.
Lu Shiqing apologized to Xuan and sat down with Yuan Cihan. Just as they were about to start eating, they suddenly smelled a very strong sour smell.
He paused in his chopstick-holding movements and glanced at the table—shrimp in vinegar, deep-fried crucian carp in vinegar, bamboo shoots in vinegar, braised goose in vinegar…
Xuan immediately called Yuan Cixian: "Cixian, today's dishes are all sour, try them and see if they suit your taste."
Lu Shiqing raised his head slowly with his neck stiff, and asked suspiciously: "Mother, have you forgotten again... that I don't eat sour food?"
At least, could you prepare something edible for him
Xuan blinked twice and said with a smile, "Really? I saw Cixian gave you a bowl of sour plum soup last year, didn't you drink it very enthusiastically?"
"… "
