What Hua Ling meant by these words, Yan Shi naturally understood. When she first learned the news that she was pregnant, she was shocked, and after the shock, she was happy again. Ever since he connected with Hua Ling, he was ready to have no more children in this life. Now, he is pregnant with a child, and it is still a child with his beloved, how can he not be happy, how can he not be happy
Yan Shi tightly clenched Hua Ling's hand, looking at him with serious eyes: "This child must not be dropped."
Hua Ling's eyes were flushed anxiously, as if she hadn't slept for several nights: "The imperial city is full of dangers, even if others find your fault secretly without knowing it. Even if you go to court every day, when your belly grows bigger, you will go to court again. How can I guarantee that my father won't find out?" Hua Ling's expression when he said this has long since lost the naive expression of the past, and in a moment of urgency, he unexpectedly revealed some of his true colors.
"When the child is not pregnant, I will act carefully." When Yan Shi said this, he lowered his head slightly, looked at his stomach, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "If someone else finds something abnormal, I will say it is my illness." They must be wishing that I was sick, and they would secretly laugh behind my back. No matter how much they think about it, they can’t think that I have a child, after all, no one knows that a man can have a child.”
"Although others don't know that men can have children, what if someone finds out?" Even if there was even the slightest possibility, he was unwilling to gamble, and he couldn't bear the price of losing the bet.
"How could it be?" Yan Shi put his hand on his stomach, although there was no change there as before, but there was already a little life there, it was him and his child, "Fu I am all my own people here, and I am cautious on weekdays, so nothing will happen to me. On the day when my stomach is so big that I can’t hide it, I will find a reason to ask my father to allow me to leave the imperial city. When the child is born Come back again. Ming Ting, I want this child, this is our child." Yan Shi said the last sentence very firmly.
Hua Ling has always been unable to reject Yan Shi, and seeing Yan Shi like this made him feel even more sour. God knows, when he found out that this man was pregnant with his child, he was on the verge of tears of joy. But after being happy, he had to think rationally, this child came at the wrong time, and if Ruoyan Shi made any mistakes with him, he couldn't bear the price.
Yan Shi put his hand on his lower abdomen and slowly rubbed it. Seeing his expectant look, his heart was slightly shaken.
"Princess." Jiang Qingyue said suddenly, "I believe His Royal Highness is capable of protecting this child. Now the prince is no longer as weak as before. If something really happens, with His Royal Highness' status in the court , the emperor wants to punish His Highness for his crimes, I'm afraid he has to think about it. Now Mrs. Zhang Yuxin and Mrs. Shen Chenbi are respectively the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Mr. Zhang of the Ministry of Rites is also ours. Among the six We already have three parts in our hands. Many of our people have been placed in other positions in the court, and now most of the court is full of our people. There are still seven or eight months before His Highness gives birth. At that time, I am afraid that the entire imperial court will belong to us."
Qu Liushang followed closely behind: "Yes, Wangfei, Mr. Qingyue has already talked about the matter in the court, so I won't say more. Let me talk about the Jianghu, our sect master has already decided to help the prince ascend the throne. Sect Master, it's not like you can't even protect a child, right?" The last sentence Qu Liuzhang meant something.
Hua Ling stared at Qu Liushang for a while, then turned his eyes to Yan Shi, seeing Yan Shi looking at him with a smile, finally, he finally made a decision in his heart, he will do everything possible to keep this child . After making up his mind, he said again: "Will keeping this child hurt my brother's body?"
"I've read in ancient books that a man's pregnancy is a bit harder than a woman's, but it's not a problem." Qu Liushang said, "Besides, the prince is always in good health and can practice martial arts. It will be fine."
Hua Ling nodded, and held Yan Shi's hand tightly again, with pious and firm eyes: "Well, brother, I will protect our child with you."
The smile on Yan Shi's face grew wider, and just as he was about to say something, he couldn't stop his nausea, and threw up on the bed.
After vomiting for a while, Hua Ling asked Qu Liushang worriedly: "What should I do if my brother vomits so much?"
"It's nothing, it's just a normal pregnancy reaction, and it will subside on its own after three or four months." Qu Liushang thought for a while and said, "I will go back to the medicine house later and prepare a medicine for the prince. The prince Always carry it on your body, and when you come into contact with others, eat one, and you can temporarily suppress the vomiting reaction. However, it is best not to take too much, after all, it is a three-point poison."
Yan Shi nodded: "Young Master Lao Qu."
Yan Shi was pregnant, and Jiang Qingyue was also very happy, with a smile in her eyes: "Qingyue congratulates Your Highness."
Yan Shi smiled and said, "In the future, many things will depend on you." As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Shi vomited again.
Hua Ling's heart ached so much that she only gently stroked his back.
Hua Ling gave Qu Liushang a look, which means get out, it's none of your business here. Qu Liushang pretended not to see it, looked at Yan Shi with a flattering face and said, "My lord, I want to take a few drops of your blood, may I?"
"What do you want to do?" Hua Ling's face darkened immediately, the person in front of him was his heart, even if he frowned, his heart ached terribly, let alone what blood he wanted to draw.
Qu Liushang said: "My lord must have eaten that Yuanyang fruit to conceive. I have never seen this Yuanyang fruit, and there are very few records in the book. But I think, since my lord ate this fruit, then This fruit should be stored in the prince's blood. I want to know what is so magical about this fruit that can make a man conceive a child."
"What? Even if you have brother's blood, can you see the difference in the blood, or can you smell the difference in the blood?" Hua Ling said with a dark face.
"Naturally I can't see or smell it myself. But my treasures will always be tested." The treasures Qu Liushang said were those Gu, "If you really know what is so strange in Yuanyang fruit I want to see if I can make a medicine with Yuanyang fruit ingredients. If I can really make it, wouldn’t it be a good thing?"
Hearing what he said, Yan Shi was moved. The population of the Dayuan Dynasty is not very large, and the court has been encouraging the people to have more children in recent years. If there is the fertility medicine, the husband and wife can have children, and the population of Dayuan Dynasty will also increase.
Thinking of this, Yan Shi patted the back of Hua Ling's hand reassuringly: "Ming Ting, it doesn't matter, it's just a few drops of blood. If Mr. Qu can really develop a birth medicine, it will be a great thing with immeasurable merit."
Hua Ling couldn't stop her any longer, so she reluctantly nodded and agreed. Qu Liushang took out a silver needle, and slowly stuck the silver needle into Yan Shi's middle finger. The urge to beat up.
After finally taking the blood, Hua Ling immediately put Yan Shi's finger in his mouth and sucked it delicately.
Qu Liushang gave Yan Shi some more instructions, and left with Jiang Qingyue.
"Ming Ting, it doesn't hurt anymore." Yan Shi chuckled and took his finger out of Hua Ling's mouth.
"Is it really not hurting?" Hua Ling asked again in disbelief.
"It really doesn't hurt anymore, you can't even see the wound." He put his finger in front of Hua Ling and asked him to look carefully. Hua Ling looked and knocked, and she really couldn't see the wound, so she was relieved.
The two looked at each other for a while, Hua Ling suddenly burst out laughing, and then the laughter grew louder, rolling around on the bed.
"Brother, I'm going to be a father!"
"My brother gave birth to me!"
"I feel like I'm dreaming!"
"Brother, hit me quickly to see if I'm really dreaming?" Hua Ling said while putting Yan Shi's hand on his face, wanting him to hit herself a few times.
Yan Shi couldn't bear it, so he just touched his face lightly with his hands, and couldn't help laughing in a low voice.
Hua Ling sat up on her knees from the bed, seeing Yan Shi's face grew more and more fond of it, couldn't control herself, hugged Yan Shi's head tightly with both hands, kisses fell like raindrops crazily, covering Yan Shi's head and face It's all saliva.
Yan Shi couldn't help but let him be ruthless with joy, so he let him mess around, and even stretched out his hand to gently stop Hua Ling's waist, to prevent him from falling onto the bed.
Hua Ling was mad enough, just now she let go of Yan Shi and sat on the bed obediently, holding Yan Shi in her arms, but she couldn't close her mouth anyway.
"Brother, let's eat something more." Hua Ling calmed down and said, Yan Shi didn't eat a few mouthfuls tonight, and vomited so much.
Yan Shi really has no appetite. If it was the past, he would definitely not eat it, but now that he knows that he has one in his stomach, he can't control his temper, so he said to Hua Ling: "Eat something lighter, I will eat it." I want to drink some porridge."
Hua Ling immediately called the servants to cook some light food.
It was the dumb mother who brought the food, because it was dark now, and she had already gone to rest in her own room. Just now when she saw Qu Liushang came with a medicine box on her back, she knew something was wrong here, so she was out all the time. waiting.
"Dumb mama, are you still asleep?" Hua Ling couldn't hide the joy on his face when he saw the eyes of the dumb mama lit up, and he spoke with pride in his tone, "Brother is not sick, just happy." .”
The dumb mother was obviously taken aback, and Hua Ling told what happened.
After hearing this, the dumb mother was naturally very happy, and with a smile on her face, she gestured towards Yan Shi.
Yan Shi has been with the dumb mother for a long time, and he can guess the meaning of her gestures. It is nothing more than telling him to pay attention to his body and some precautions during pregnancy.
Yan Shi watched patiently, never missing a single move from the dumb mother. The less people know about his pregnancy, the better. Although there is a genius doctor named Qu Liushang, he is a young man after all, and has no experience in this field. But the dumb mother is different. The dumb mother is the wet nurse of Hua Ling's biological mother, and she has experience in serving people in this field.
The dumb mother made gestures again, but in the end Hua Ling couldn't help but piled her out: "Dummy mother, it's getting late, you should go to bed early. Brother hasn't eaten yet, what can I say?" Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”
Hua Ling didn't let Yan Shi get out of bed, and asked his servants to set up a small table beside the bed. He picked up the bowl, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew lightly, and brought it to Yan Shi's mouth: "Brother , eat."
Yan Shi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Ming Ting, it's not like I can't move."
Hua Ling said seriously: "Brother, you are my husband, and I am also your husband. You have to learn to rely on me more, and I will grow up slowly, enough to protect you from wind and rain."
Yan Yi smiled and said nothing more.
Yan Shi ate the meal pretty well, maybe it didn't smell too strong, but Yan Shi didn't vomit.
The porridge was a little too much, and Hua Ling didn't eat a few mouthfuls for dinner. Now that Yan Shi had finished eating, he used the bowl he used to eat all the leftover porridge.
Hua Ling touched her stomach contentedly, and then went to touch Yan Shi's stomach, feeling that her heart was full.
Yan Shi tried to rely on him as Hua Ling said just now. He rested his head on Hua Ling's shoulder, listening to Hua Ling read to him.
Hua Ling's voice was clear and bright, very pleasant to the ear, Yan Shi slowly closed his eyes listening to Hua Ling's voice, and fell asleep after a while.
After Hua Ling made sure that he was asleep, she put the book aside, gently supported Yan Shi's head, and put him to lie down, then flicked her fingers in the direction of the lit candle below, and the candle went out instantly.
The room was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. Hua Ling held Yan Shi in his arms, and unconsciously placed his hand on his stomach, rubbing it lightly, and unconsciously fell asleep.
Ever since she found out that Yan Shi was pregnant, Hua Ling was careful everywhere, and put away her naive attitude, just to keep Yan Shi from worrying too much about him.
After Yan Shi went to Dali Temple, he would visit it from time to time.
In the evening of that day, after Yan Shi and Hua Ling had dinner, the porter came to report: "The second son of the Duke of the State is asking to see him."
Hua Xu? Yan Shi and Hua Ling looked at each other, why is he here? This is the first time Hua Xu has come here since Hua Ling married the prince.
Yan Shi ordered: "Invite Second Young Master to enter the mansion."
Yan Shi and Hua Ling came to the main hall, just after sitting firmly,
Hua Xu also came in.
"My lord, brother." Hua Xu saluted the two of them.
Yan Shi nodded, motioning for him to sit down.
"Second brother, why didn't you come to see me earlier, you insisted on coming at night." Hua Ling pouted, "I'm going to leave after a while, if it's daytime, you can stay with me a little longer."
Hua Xu smiled: "Then I will come during the day."
Hua Ling stared at him for a while: "Second brother, you were kicked out by your father, right?"
"No, how could it be." Hua Xu's eyes flicked from left to right, very unnaturally, "I just thought that I haven't seen my eldest brother for a long time, and I miss you a little, so I came to have a look."
Hua Ling curled her lips: "Don't lie to me, your eyes will look around uncomfortably when you lie."
Hua Xu laughed a few times dryly: "Brother really can't hide anything from you, well, I admit, I was kicked out by my father."
"Because of what?" Hua Xu is Hua Qiancheng's favorite son, Hua Ling can't figure out what exactly Hua Xu did to make Hua Qiancheng drive him out.
Hua Xu took a sip of tea, looked at Yan Shi and then at Hua Ling before continuing, "Didn't father always say that I'm idle all day long, eating, drinking, having fun and doing nothing? A few days ago, he dragged me to Prince Zhao's mansion, Tell me to follow His Royal Highness King Zhao to do things."
Hua Ling knew about this, and Hua Ling also had eyeliner in Prince Zhao's residence.
"But what kind of material am I? I don't know anything. I'm still very unfree with His Royal Highness King Zhao, and I feel so uncomfortable." Hua Xu shrugged at this point, "I just yelled that I didn't want to go there anymore. But Dad disagrees. Brother, you also know that I have always had no ambitions, and I don’t want to be an official. I just want to eat, drink and have fun, so happy."
Hua Ling smiled: "Then you don't come to play with me, you come to play with me in the future, there are so many interesting things in this mansion."
Hua Xu also smiled and said, "Then I will have to bother Big Brother a lot in the future, Big Brother don't think I'm annoying."
"How come, second brother, you don't even know. If my brother leaves during the day, I'm the only one in this house. It's boring. It would be great if you could come and play with me." Hua Ling said.
"It's spring now, and it's suitable for kite flying," Hua Xu said, "Brother, let's fly a kite together next time."
"Okay, okay." When Hua Ling mentioned Wan'er's eyes were shining, he seemed to be able to go out to fly a kite immediately, "I still remember that when we were young, we only had one kite. But you gave in Let me play, and you just watch from the side. Thinking about it now, I am really incompetent as the eldest brother, and you who want to be the younger brother let me go."
Hua Xu was also a little moved when he recalled the past: "Brother, why did you say that, my brother, how did you say it was so strange."
"I just remembered something from my childhood." When Hua Ling said this, he brought back the original topic, "Second brother, it stands to reason that even if you don't want to go to King Zhao, dad will not drive you away because of this matter." Get out of the house."
"Of course it's not because of these things." Hua Xu sighed, "Just now at His Royal Highness Zhao Wang's place, father and His Highness Zhao talked about the emperor's birthday banquet again. They said that in another month, envoys from various countries will come to the emperor one after another. The city is over, His Royal Highness Zhao said, although the Wuman Kingdom has been repaired with our Dayuan Dynasty in recent years, in fact they have been eyeing my Dayuan, and they have been accumulating strength to attack Dayuan."
The Wuman Kingdom borders on the southern border of Dayuan Dynasty. More than ten years ago, Hualing's grandfather disappeared during the war against this country. Later, Yan Shi's grandfather was ordered to guard the southern border and confront Wuman Kingdom.
Hua Xu continued: "Then His Royal Highness King Zhao said again that when the envoy from Wuman Kingdom came, he would ask the emperor to send a princess to make peace with the leader of Wuman Kingdom. In this way, we will be married to Wuman Kingdom forever." If Qin and Jin are good, there will be no more wars."
Yan Shi's heart moved slightly when he heard this.
"But I don't think this matter is appropriate," Hua Xu said, "I have a mighty army in the Great Abyss, how can I be afraid of that small country?"
Hua Ling nodded: "Then King Zhao said, but does he want some princess to go and kiss?"
Hua Xu shook his head: "His Royal Highness King Zhao didn't say anything, but he said that the princess who is married must be the most honorable one, so as to show the sincerity of my Dayuan Dynasty. But the king of Wuman Kingdom is older than the emperor Duda, isn’t it sacrificing a lifetime of happiness for the princess to marry her? I told His Royal Highness King Zhao that this matter is inappropriate, we have so many soldiers in the Dayuan dynasty, do we have to rely on a woman to protect us?”
Yan Shi suppressed the overwhelming anger in his chest, the princess of the right age was already married. The only ones who were not married were Princess Huojia and the princesses of several concubines. In terms of status, Princess Huojia was undoubtedly the most honorable. He wanted Princess Huojia to marry her!
