Chu Heng quickly stood up and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just think this dish is too greasy."

As she said this, she took another look at the four-happiness meatballs in the bowl. Just by looking at them, she felt nauseous again.

Chu Heng quickly poured her a glass of water: "Don't be too tired or cold from the journey. Have dinner and go to rest early."

Cheng Jiuyuan took the water and took a few sips before feeling better. He smiled and said, "How can a martial artist be so delicate?"

Pei Xiu looked at the girl and said, "Go and ask the palace doctor to come."

Cheng Jiuyuan waved his hand to stop him: "Why invite a palace doctor? Uncle forgot, I also have medical skills."

"If a doctor doesn't treat himself, go and get the government doctor."

Sheng looked at the Four Joy Meatballs and asked in confusion, "Are the meatballs very greasy today?"

She turned around and looked at Old Madam Pei, and joy flashed in both of their eyes.

Sheng walked closer to Cheng Jiuyuan and whispered in her ear: "Have you had your period?"

Cheng Jiuyuan was stunned, glanced at Chu Heng, and then his fingers slowly fell on his wrist.

Soon a trace of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

Sheng's face was full of anticipation: "How?"

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Sheng and nodded slowly.

"Oh!" Sheng shouted happily and looked at Old Lady Pei.

Mrs. Pei stood up and walked to her granddaughter: "Really?"

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded affirmatively.

"That's great! It's really the blessing of our ancestors!" Old Mrs. Pei held her granddaughter's hand and was so happy that she didn't know what to do.

Sheng quickly told the maid, "Quick, ask the kitchen to prepare some light food!"

The others were still confused.

Especially Chu Heng, he still looked worried.

Pei Yan asked in confusion: "Grandma, mother, why are you still so happy?"

Madam Pei and Madam Sheng looked at each other and smiled.

"Silly child, this is a great joyous event, of course we are happy."

Chu Heng looked at Cheng Jiuyuan, and Cheng Jiuyuan also looked at him with a smile in her eyes.

Mr. Pei guessed: "This is..."

Sheng looked at Chu Heng happily: "Yuzhi, you are going to be a father!"

Chu Heng was stunned for a moment, then reacted and his ecstatic gaze fell on Cheng Jiuyuan's abdomen.

He seemed a little bit unbelievable and looked at Cheng Jiuyuan: "Really?"

Cheng Jiuyuan's hand unconsciously touched her abdomen. She also felt that it was not real, but the pulse could not lie.

"real."

Mr. Pei and Emperor Zhaolie laughed.

"This is so great!"

"That's great, this is really great!" Emperor Zhaolie repeated this sentence over and over again.

Pei Yan shouted happily: "I'm going to be an uncle! Hahaha, I'm going to be an uncle!"

Chu Heng seemed to come back to his senses. He picked up Cheng Jiuyuan and shouted excitedly: "I'm going to be a father! We have a child!"

His actions may seem reckless, but he knows how to control his strength.

But this action frightened Madam Pei and Mrs. Sheng so much that their faces changed.

"Put it down, put it down!"

"I can't do it! I can't do it!"

Emperor Zhaolie slammed the table and said, "Old Fifth, put him down quickly!"

Chu Heng put Cheng Jiuyuan down with a silly smile and helped her sit on the chair.

She said softly, "Yuan'er, what do you want to eat? Let's eat a little."

Cheng Jiuyuan glanced at the sumptuous food on the table, but had no appetite at all, so she shook her head.

"No, just eat and don't worry about me."

Sheng smiled and said, "My aunt has already asked the kitchen to prepare something light. You can try to eat some later."

Cheng Jiuyuan felt as if there was a lump in her chest that was about to surge up at any time, but looking at the worried eyes of her grandmother and Chu Heng, she nodded.

At this time, the court doctor hurried over and bowed to the leader.

Emperor Zhaolie said, "Go show it to Cheng girl."

Cheng Jiuyuan was about to say that it was not necessary, but Madam Pei said, "A doctor should not treat himself. The doctor in the palace is very experienced. Let him see grandma to make her feel at ease."

Cheng Jiuyuan had no choice but to stretch out his hand and let the court doctor feel his pulse.

Soon the court doctor showed a look of joy: "Congratulations! The queen is pregnant!"

Although everyone already knew it, the joy on their faces became even more intense after hearing the confirmation from the court doctor.

"I'm already two months pregnant."

Chu Heng was shocked. It’s been two months!

In the past two months, she often went out of the palace to personally supervise the establishment of girls' schools, traveling back and forth between the counties around the capital. It was so busy that he broke out in a cold sweat just thinking about it.

"So how is her health?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured. Your Majesty's pregnancy is extremely stable. You don't even need to take any pregnancy-maintaining medicine. But you still need to be more careful in the first three months. I will list the precautions later."

Chu Heng nodded, feeling a little relieved.

Cheng Jiuyuan gently stroked her lower abdomen, which was still flat, but a small life was quietly growing. The feeling was very wonderful.

Soon the maid brought over the light-tasting meal. Cheng Jiuyuan didn't dare to glance at the big fish and meat, but she could still vaguely smell the greasy smell, and she began to feel nauseous.

Chu Heng noticed her discomfort, took her hand and said to the maid, "Send the food to Cuizhu Garden."

Since Cheng Jiuyuan came to Suzhou at the age of seven, Cuizhu Garden has always been her courtyard and has been preserved to this day.

"Yes."

Cheng Jiuyuan felt that this was too rude and said embarrassedly: "Father and grandfather are still here."

"Don't worry about us, just go." Emperor Zhaolie said.

Old Master Pei also smiled and said, "We've been running around for days. After dinner, we should rest early."

"She's pregnant and she's coming all the way from the capital to Gusu. If something happens on the way, I can't imagine the consequences!" Pei Xiu was also scared.

"Then father, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousin, we will take our leave first." Cheng Jiuyuan said softly.

"Go ahead and be careful."

Chu Heng put on the cloak for her, wrapped her tightly, and then carefully helped her walk out.

There were sounds of laughter coming from the house behind me.

"It's almost the New Year, and there's such a big happy event happening at the same time. It's really a double happiness!"

"This is worth a full plate!"

Then came the voice of Eunuch Quan admonishing: "Your Majesty, you must not drink."

"How can we not drink alcohol for such a big happy occasion?"

"Just drink soup instead of wine. You're going to have a grandchild soon, so you have to take care of yourself."

Thinking of his chubby grandchildren, Emperor Zhaolie stopped being stubborn.

Chu Heng turned around, with a smile on his face, and supported Cheng Jiuyuan as they walked towards the Green Bamboo Garden.

"Be careful, it just snowed."

"You don't have to be so cautious. If you fall on such a flat ground, my master will probably not accept me as his disciple."

When we returned to Cuizhu Garden, there was a charcoal fire burning in the house, and it was as warm as spring.

The maid had already placed the food on the table. Chu Heng took off their cloaks and pulled her to sit at the table.

He personally served a bowl of soup to Cheng Jiuyuan.

"This is not meaty at all, try it."

After drinking half a bowl of hot soup, Cheng Jiuyuan finally suppressed the nausea in his heart and felt a little more relaxed.

"You didn't have much for dinner, would you like to eat some?"

Chu Heng picked up the bowl and chopsticks on the table and ate vegetarian food with her.

"You can go to the front hall..."

"No need. The child is ours. You can't eat vegetarian food while I eat meat. Although I can't take your place in the pregnancy, I will accompany you in everything else."

Although Cheng Jiuyuan felt that this was unnecessary, seeing that he was so persistent, she let him do it.

After they finished their meal and digested the food, he knew that she was not used to being served by servants, so he personally helped her bathe and wash herself.

After serving Cheng Jiuyuan, he quickly tidied himself up, and the couple leaned against the head of the bed.

Cheng Jiuyuan leaned against his chest, and he was reading the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" in his hand.

"In the first month of pregnancy, the liver meridian is the main focus. Eating barley will help the baby grow stronger. In the second and third months, the gallbladder meridian and pericardium meridian are the main focus. The mother should keep a happy mood and sleep well. In the fourth month..."

Cheng Jiuyuan curled her lips: "I am very familiar with these contents."

"I know. I want to learn."

After traveling for many days and feeling sleepy recently, she fell asleep unknowingly to the sound of his low, pleasant voice.

Hearing her steady breathing, Chu Heng stopped talking, put the book aside, and looked at her in front of his chest.

She leaned against his chest, her brows relaxed, her breathing shallow, and a faint shadow under her eyelashes.

Looking down is the delicate nose tip, light pink lips, and flawless fair skin.

Looking at her like this, love and pity welled up in my heart.

"Yuan'er, thank you." He lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

He turned sideways and let her lean on his chest so she could sleep more comfortably.

His warm big hand gently stroked her flat abdomen, and a clear smile appeared on his thin lips.

The heart in my chest was beating with joy for some unknown reason, and I felt never so satisfied.
