Chapter 43: Pregnancy
The dark night sky has become an ink pool for Wang Xizhi's pen, and there is not even the glimmer of the stars. In the cool hall www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, bursts of light smoke are rising from the three-dimensional lotus petals that are about to bloom on the plum green brown glazed incense burner, like the stamens that have left the flowers. Wrapped in a beaded curtain strung by Gillian, it fills the entire palace, and there is a supported guqin on the desk, and the conspicuous position shows the owner's cherishment of it.
Gillian was sitting on the couch crying and laughing, she wanted to play the piano, Haitang said that the imperial doctor said that she couldn't work hard, and Yulan forced her to go back to sit on the couch. Okay, she just wanted to read a book, and the wooden pen said that it would be a waste of eyes at night.
Since she was diagnosed as pregnant, the whole palace treated her as a porcelain doll and refused to let her bump a little. Probably, this child has been secretly looking forward to it for a long time in Weiyang Palace. Even Princess Guantao also took Princess Longxi to the Qingliang Palace for a while, and Guantao almost cried in private, saying that fortunately she didn't call Gillian to Concubine Liu Chena.
Not to mention the Queen Mother, who used to complain secretly about Gillian not being pregnant for three years. Otherwise, Binh Duong would not have been a beauty pageant in Fuzhong. It's just that the Queen Mother is still there, and it is not her turn to speak in the harem, and Gillian is still as she wants. hasn't shown anything on her face yet, but since Gillian is pregnant, Gillian has finally realized what it is like a spring breeze.
The Empress Dowager is Gillian's maternal grandmother, and the old man couldn't close his mouth happily because Gillian was pregnant.
Liu Che was overjoyed, and almost every day she touched her belly, which was not yet pregnant, to communicate with the child in her belly. Gillian even woke up in the middle of the night and saw him muttering thanks to God.
She never knew that the whole palace was so looking forward to being pregnant, so what about herself?
Gillian breathed a sigh of relief gently, sweet and sour, tasteless and tangled. I can't tell you what it feels like for a moment. She closed her eyes, and if it weren't for the Doctor's face affirming that this was a strong, powerful slippery vein, she would almost feel like it was a dream.
Yes, dreaming.
It has been a few days since she was diagnosed as pregnant, but she has always been in a trance, like falling into a dream, unbelievable.
How is it possible to get pregnant?
In history, Empress Chen has not been able to get pregnant for ten years, and people with a little common sense know that Liu Che's first child is Princess Wei Chang, who was born to Wei Zifu.
As for why Chen Hou was not pregnant, there is speculation that it is due to her physical constitution, and more speculation points to conspiracy theories. Empress Chen had a prominent background, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was her grandfather, Empress Dou of the Han Xiaowen was her grandmother, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was her uncle, her father was the hereditary Tangyi Marquis Chen Wu, and her mother was the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty Emperor Liu Qi's sister Guan Tao, the only eldest princess of the Han Dynasty. Empress Chen was even more pampered, and was forbidden to enter and leave the palace since she was a child.
Emperor Jing and the Empress Dowager have been doting on Gillian since childhood, and it must be known that if her mother does not love, the emperor's uncle does not like her grandmother and does not spoil her, and Empress Chen will not develop a jealous character. Because of her pride and nobility, she had no need to shy away from anyone. And such a queen Chen, once she gives birth to a prince, whether it is the empress dowager or the eldest princess, she will force Liu Che to become the crown prince.
The emperor won the throne because of Princess Guantao, and the narrowly missed the throne because he annoyed the Empress Dowager, and finally kept the throne because Empress Chen was very loved by the Empress Dowager, and Princess Guantao fully supported and maneuvered, and Emperor Wu had no danger to keep the throne. This would definitely be an unforgettable shame for Liu Che, and it was impossible for him to tolerate that the next emperor would still live in the shadow of his relatives.
Life and death must be in your own hands.
And not the charity of relatives.
So, is it really because of the containment of his relatives Chen that he has always been pregnant? Is history always like this, as later generations speculated, full of conspiracy, blood and tears?
No, maybe this world is not as bright as we imagined, but there is a dark side and a bright side. Gillian prefers to believe that the historical Empress Chen was born infertile, and the fact that she has not been pregnant for three years has almost confirmed her guess.
However, now she is pregnant.
She was almost really ready to leave Liu Che, and she even imagined her future life without Liu Che.
She went from being sober and rational at the beginning to hesitating and hesitant later. She thought she could do it, but she didn't know how hard it was to face it. accepted Liu Che's kindness to her as a matter of course, and showed his affection for him. After a long time, she has blurred the boundaries of her heart, she has almost no way to lie to herself anymore, her feelings for Liu Che are just friends and sisters. Later, I finally found a reason to comfort myself with Liu Che before leaving, so as to accept Liu Che's goodness, but now she is pregnant.
She and Liu Che, even if there is no Wei Zifu, there is no one else. Can it really last long?
The kindness between her and her mother at this moment will only become a life-saving charm in the future. When the talented Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw Gillian in the future, he would only think of the humiliating days when he was pressed by his relatives in the early days of his ascension to the throne.
She has no confidence, and she doesn't know whether this child, who is regarded as a lifesaver in the palace at this moment, is born good or bad.
She has no one to talk to, not even her mother, who has loved her since she was a child and broken her heart for her. said that Liu Che, who loves her now and almost can't be seen by the Queen Mother, will abolish her in the future? Will you turn your face because of today's help? If there is no reason for this, who can she tell her?
The exhaustion and lack of appetite in the early stages of pregnancy left her with little to spare. In addition, when the imperial doctor came to ask for a pulse, he repeatedly told the queen to be open-minded, and it would be bad for the fetus if she was depressed for a long time.
Begonia Magnolia tried her best to make her happy, and Shaofu racked her brains all day long to present all kinds of dishes, hoping that Gillian could be appetizing. The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother inquired about Gillian four or five times a day, and the whole palace was worried about her.
Her gloomy and low mood did not last long in Liu Che's patient care day after day. She woke up in the silent night, touched her belly, which had not been pregnant for three months, and looked at Liu Che's side face. Ask yourself: If it's not even good now because of what you know will be bleak in the future, is it worth it? And more importantly, willing?
The answer is reluctance, no matter how ruthless Liu Che in history is, he treats human life like a mustard, is mean and unkind, and turns his face ruthlessly. But at this moment, he made her feel warm from the bottom of her heart. When she was four or five years old, he called her Sister Gillian with the childishness of her children. When he was a teenager, he hid in the Yilan Hall with her and told him his secrets. After getting married, he doted on her unabashedly.
She has already died once, even if there are more hidden dangers buried now, even if she will fall out of favor in the future. can accompany Liu Che in his best and most sincere years, she is reluctant.
She used to think that history could not be changed, so she restrained herself. Now, however, history has indeed changed. And how do you know that it won't change in the future? She was no longer willing to push him away, even if she would fall into the abyss in the future, she would have jumped down.
She was almost moved to tears by herself, and Gillian, who had figured it out, leaned into Liu Che's arms, hugged him tightly, and fell asleep with a pillow almost instantly.
What she didn't know was that since she was pregnant, Liu Che, who had to keep one eye open even when she was sleeping, had been woken up by her when she was in her arms. It's just that I don't dare to show it.
It wasn't until Gillian in his arms fell asleep sweetly again that he breathed a sigh of relief. It's the first time I've been a parent. Gillian lost her appetite again, he was anxiously angry but didn't dare to let Gillian know.
Gillian fell asleep, but it took him another two moments to calm down before falling asleep.
When Liu Che came back from the Xuanshu Palace, Gillian greeted the palace with a smile as before. The begonia behind him is even more happy, it seems that Gillian has an appetite? He was in a mood and made Gillian's smile light up, probably because he was happy, he felt that Gillian was not only ruddy, but also looked different from before.
After he changed his clothes and washed up, he ordered to eat, and Gillian had a bad appetite for only half a month, but he almost broke his heart. Taiyimai has also been invited several times, and he always said that he was depressed. Secret trouble? Thinking of Gillian kneeling in front of Changle Palace, her face was pale, and she was diagnosed as pregnant by Ping An Pulse.
Is he still worried? His heart was crushed by Gillian at once.
All the famous cooks outside the palace asked him to invite them, and the eldest princess, the cook of Tangyi Houfu, had already sent them. Shaofu made a move with them, and he didn't appetize Gillian.
He looked at Gillian next to him, who had a big appetite, and didn't forget to put it on his plate while eating: "Your Majesty, this is delicious, you can taste it, and this." She smiled like a pool of autumn water, probably because the situation stabilized, and she also stabilized.
He also laughed, finished eating what Gillian gave him, and praised the deliciousness with Gillian. After eating the main meal, she turned to the inner hall, and Gillian ate a pot of green plums on the hall.
Liu Che saw that his teeth were sore, and he didn't dare to say it. It's easy for Gillian to finish eating, and she wants to call again. Thinking that she hasn't had such a good appetite for a long time, and I'm afraid that she won't be able to digest it after eating so much at once. Liu Che didn't allow her to eat any more, and dragged her around the yard for half an hour before coming in to wash and lie down.
Begonia only left a palace lamp and cautiously withdrew. Gillian was already asleep on the couch in the inner hall, and she was already sleepy and almost asleep when she sat and removed her makeup. Fortunately, since Gillian knew that she was pregnant, she refused to use gouache rouge again, and she always felt that it was not good to wear makeup when she was pregnant. Therefore, removing makeup is nothing more than scattering the hair that is simply pulled up.
Liu Che hugged her, watching her relax and no longer have a little unspeakable melancholy under her smile as before, she only felt calm.
As a result, not long after the good days, Gillian began morning sickness again. At first, I only vomited occasionally, but I could still eat after vomiting. Later, it began to develop to the point that he vomited when he smelled the food, and there was no way, Liu Che could only order to make six meals a day for Gillian to eat. You can't always be hungry with adults and children, and by the time you finally don't vomit again, it's already August.
