026 Cramps
On the morning of the second day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Mingzhu and Wei Ci spent time in the study again. Wei Ci held a military book in his hand and read it with relish, and Mingzhu held a charcoal pen to write and draw there.
On a stack of white paper, a set of extremely intricate and gorgeous diamond jewelry is drawn. Mingzhu took out the drawing of the necklace, and in the corner of the drawing was a three-view of the diamond in the very center. Mingzhu is calculating the cutting angle at this time.
Of course, this is the most common round "12 hearts and 12 arrows", as long as you calculate some average angles. Like those "pear-shaped cuts" and "rose cuts" in previous lives. Mingzhu doesn't even think about it, grandson will!
Wei Ci was a little curious, and leaned over to Mingzhu to see that she was calculating with Arabic numerals. "What is this?" The head rests on Mingzhu's shoulder, a little cute.
Mingzhu looked at him suddenly like a curious baby, and his heart melted, "This is the calculation method I learned from a Westerner before, do you want to learn it?" Not only can it be used on the machinery you make, but it is also said to be good for arranging troops. β
Sure enough, Wei Ci was very interested when he heard it, so the two of them taught and learned. The ears and temples are grinding, and it is very harmonious.
"Yikes! It's moving! The baby moves! Mingzhu is overjoyed, since the fetus is five months old and has not moved, Mingzhu has been worried, and now she finally put her mind at ease.
When Wei Ci heard this, a string suddenly moved in his heart, staring at Mingzhu's stomach with his eyes wide open, and he didn't know what he was thinking, his face was expressionless.
Mingzhu smiled secretly, gently took Wei Ci's hand, and stroked him on his stomach. "Don't be nervous, you listen attentively?"
The two of them held their positions like this for a long time, and the little guy inside finally moved again. Wei Ci's hand trembled, and his pupils contracted rapidly. This was the first time he and the child had a bloody conversation, and it felt amazing!
Time is very gentle at this moment, and the two of them don't say anything, just wait quietly, waiting for the little wonder to come again.
"Your Highness, Si Zhenfang has sent the crystal piece requested by the princess." Si Hai broke the silence of this moment.
Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and remembered that this was the mirror of the glass mirror she had always wanted before.
"I remember that there are silver-plated craftsmen and slaves in the house, you go and summon them"
"No."
Mingzhu asked Wei Ci to open the brocade box and lay the crystal pieces flat on the sketch, and from different directions, the lines did not change at all. "Tsk, it's worthy of the craftsmanship of Si Zhenfang."
The crystal pieces are only half a centimeter thick, and the whole crystal pillar is only two feet high and one foot wide, two ovals and three rectangles, and two palm-sized perfect circles. In order to do this, all the manpower of Si Zhenfang was exhausted, and it took a month, and the loss rate reached eighty percent, which alarmed the entire harem. Only the queen mother, who spoils her daughter like this, can tolerate her doing this.
"See Princess Pearl."
Si Chai explained on the side: "These three are the best craftsmen in our house with the best silver-plating skills, although they are not as good as Si Zhenfang, but they are not too close. β
Then Mingzhu explained the requirements of the silver plating to the craftsman in detail, "You go down and try this small piece first, how long will it take to make it?" β
"Princess Qiyu, if you don't make a mistake, at the latest."
"So fast?" Mingzhu didn't expect it to be so fast, so he turned around and handed another small piece of perfect circle to Si Chai. "In this case, Si Chai, you hurry up to Si Zhen's room and let them follow this and make a mirror holder of enamel color Luan Feng and Ming. Hurry, I'll get it tomorrow at dusk at the latest. β
"No." As he spoke, Si Chai took the crystal piece, put it back in the brocade box, and walked out quickly.
"Go too, as soon as possible." Mingzhu said to the craftsmen who were still in place.
"No."
The study was quiet again, and Mingzhu returned to her desk to continue drawing jewelry patterns. But Wei Ci couldn't calm down and continue to read the military book. Seeing his wife who is getting plump, all this is like a dream. Now that I think of everything on the battlefield, I am a little afraid. No wonder people say "gentle township, hero's mound", if there is a chance to go to war in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be ready to sacrifice at any time like before, right? After all, it's the one who wants to be a daddy.
"Why are you staring at me all the time because you don't like reading your books?" Mingzhu's face became more and more red, and she couldn't paint anymore, so she could only say angrily.
"You're good-looking." Instead, Wei Ci stepped forward and hugged Mingzhu. I wanted to hug my waist, but I stroked my round belly and went up... Up...
Mingzhu's heart was beating faster and faster, and suddenly, "Ah! With a bang, Mingzhu's face turned pale and leaned on Wei Ci, cramping!
Wei Ci's face changedβ_β: "What's wrong?!" What's wrong?! Si Wei! Si Wei! Come on! Hurry up! β
Mingzhu wanted to appease Wei Ci, but it really hurt a lot. Wei Ci wanted to carry Mingzhu to the side of the Hu bed, "Don't ...... Don't touch me, wait... Wait a minute. Wei Ci's body suddenly stiffened, and he didn't dare to move, allowing Mingzhu to hold his arm tightly.
Although it was only a breath of time, Mingzhu and Wei Ci felt that it was extremely long.
Si Wei carried the medicine box and rushed in. Mingzhu has almost recovered by this time.
"Why is it so long?" It's rare for Wei Ci to be so motivated.
Si Wei's face turned pale, she was already running fast.
"Don't yell at Si Wei, it's just cramps, today is the first time, and there will be many more times in the future. You can't do that all the time. With that, Mingzhu helped Wei Ci limp to the side of the Hu bed.
"Many times?" Wei Ci's brows furrowed.
"Yes, it's just that the average pregnant woman may start later. I'm a twin, and now my belly is big, and it's normal for me to have cramps a little earlier. β
Wei Ci still pursed his lips tightly, with a serious expression. Mingzhu leaned against him and stretched out a leg, and her toes were a little chubby, probably starting to swell.
Si Wei stepped forward to massage the cramped area for her, and after a while, the pain was almost gone.
"Si Wei's good craftsmanship is worthy of being mixed up in the Tai Hospital." Mingzhu praised.
Si Wei was a little worried, "It's better to summon Imperial Doctor Sun as soon as possible, the slave and maid's skills are still poor in the end." If you are given daily massage by Dr. Sun, you can at least eliminate edema. Although it can't cure the cramps, it can definitely relieve a lot. "The movements of the hands are non-stop, and they are even more attentive.
"A few more days later." Mingzhu saw Wei Ci's disapproval, so she could only explain: "The imperial sister-in-law has just been out of confinement, let's postpone it for a few more days, so as to save her from thinking too much." β
Probably the mental consumption was a little too much just now, but at this time, after being relieved, Mingzhu began to be drowsy again. The people in the room fell silent, and their movements became lighter.
Mingzhu took a nap and woke up to see that Wei Ci was still in her bedtime position. He pinched his arm a little apologetically, turned around and asked Si Wei, who was standing aside, "Why are you still here?" "Usually when she has nothing to do, Si Wei will be busy in the pharmacy.
"Before Imperial Doctor Sun comes, let the slaves and maids follow at any time. It's also a little more reassuring that way. Si Wei glanced at Wei Ci.
Mingzhu smiled: "Don't be so nervous, doesn't Imperial Doctor Liu come every day to check the pulse of peace?" The pharmacy is just a short walk away. If you do this, I'll get nervous. He patted Wei Ci's hand comfortingly, took a cup of warm water handed over by Si Cha and drank it in one gulp.
"Okay...... Well, but you won't be able to stay in one position for as long as you do today. Every quarter of an hour or so, you have to get up and walk around and stand for a while. Keep your tendons open at all times, so that there will be fewer cramps. Si Wei instructed seriously.
"Hmm... I know this, don't worry. β
Looking at the circle of suspicious eyes around her, Mingzhu was a little dumbfounded.
"Am I that unreliable?"
"Yes, you have."
