Hearing her husband's sneezing, Fang Furong said worriedly: "Husband, are you suffering from the cold?"
Li Xian shook his head, rubbed his itchy nose, and continued to move his hands up and down.
It's no good if I don't do anything. These two days are probably the days when Fang Furong is about to have her menstruation. Although it doesn't affect anything physiologically, the rules at this time are that women are menstruating, not to mention that they can't have sex, or even live with their husbands. In a house because of bad luck.
However, these messy rules obviously have no effect on Li Xian.
Feeling the numb and trembling feeling all over her body, Fang Furong couldn't help but said: "Husband, you can't always ask me to sleep with you. Xiao Xiao and the others are not young anymore. Even if you don't plan to do that with them, right? Should I sleep in the same bed with them?"
Hearing these words, Li Xian stopped and said helplessly: "Sleeping in the same bed? What if something happens if I can't control your husband? You also know that the appearance of the three of them is no worse than yours. How many."
Fang Furong smiled: "I don't believe that my husband can't control it. To be honest, I know how good you are to me. In this world, I'm afraid there is no husband who treats his wife and concubines better than you. Therefore, it would be better for you to go and live with them, lest the three of them complain about me behind my back."
"It's okay to go. We'll wait until your period comes."
Fang Furong snorted, closed her eyes, and continued to bear what happened next...
You don't just have children if you want them, Li Xian knew this very well, but facing his wife's wishes and enjoying it himself, this period of time can be said to be particularly tiring.
After working hard for such a long time, there was no movement in her belly. She should have had some despair-like emotions, but Fang Furong didn't. She knew very well that although her husband didn't say it explicitly, he was already very tired for her little thoughts.
Since you can't force it, you can only let nature take its course. As a woman, she knew very well how Xiao Xiao and the other three were feeling. Especially Xiao Xiao, apart from playing the piano for a while in front of the prince that day, she basically had no chance to interact with the prince.
Because Qi Lan wanted to practice martial arts, he could be with the prince's husband every morning. Kong Xinyu is good at medicinal diet, so she participates in all three meals of her husband.
And although Xiao Xiao is good at playing the piano, her husband is busy from morning to night, and when he usually stops, he is not far away from rest. Therefore, Fang Furong felt that Xiao Xiao might only be able to get her husband's company at night.
Li Xian also knew that he did not take good care of his wife and concubines at all.
Although from the palace to the homes of wealthy merchants, there are usually three wives and four concubines, the male owner cannot remember the names of the other concubines except the main wife and the favored concubine.
This is mainstream.
However, Li Xian just doesn't want to be such a person.
Fortunately, Fang Furong is also kind-hearted. Although she inevitably had the idea of seizing her husband because of the child, she still considered her feelings after her efforts failed to achieve results.
That's what marriage is like. If you find someone who has similar views, you should marry him as soon as possible. That's right.
Ever since they promised Fang Furong to sleep at Xiao Xiao's place, the two of them began to wait for the menstrual period.
However, on the first day, she didn't wait, and on the second day, she still didn't wait. Until the third day when menstruation didn't come, Fang Furong was overwhelmed by the surprise. She pushed Li Xian up early in the morning. . Her menstruation was relatively regular, and when it was delayed for the first time, all she could think of was that she was pregnant.
Li Xian woke up and looked helplessly at the crazy Fang Furong, sighing: "How can you be so happy?"
"Husband, I haven't had my menstrual period today. Could you please ask the imperial doctor to check your pulse?"
Seeing her happy look, Li Xian said, "It doesn't mean you are pregnant if you come late." He tried twice, but still couldn't say it.
Pregnancy was one of the happiest moments in a woman's life, and he really didn't want to throw cold water on her at this time.
In desperation, Li Xian had no choice but to stand up and told Shangguan Wan'er at the door: "Wan'er, tell Li Yun to ask the imperial doctor to diagnose the Crown Princess's pulse. Don't make any announcement about this matter yet."
After hearing the prince's instructions, Shangguan Wan'er turned around and went out.
As for Li Yun, who heard the news, his whole body trembled.
Diagnosing the princess's pulse? Don't make any noise? Apart from the fact that the Crown Princess is happy, he really can't think of anything else that looks like this. To be honest, if the Crown Princess is happy, especially if she can successfully give birth to a son, then the Crown Prince's status will become even more firm.
This is a great thing!
Then, Li Yun, who was inexplicably surprised, simply rode on his horse and went directly to the place where the imperial doctor lived.
As the prince's territory, the East Palace naturally has an imperial physician.
The imperial doctor, who was carried by Li Xuan and got on the horse, was about to get angry. After learning that the Crown Princess might be pregnant, he immediately calmed down and allowed Manager Li to ride the horse and carry him all the way back.
In Cheng'en Hall, before Li Xian could put on his clothes, Li Yun carried the imperial doctor in.
Looking at the red-faced imperial doctor with a thick neck, Li Xian sighed and said to Li Yun, "Can't you call the person here properly and have to carry him?"
Li Yong chuckled and apologized to the imperial doctor regardless of his status as the general manager.
The imperial doctor knew very well what it meant for the Crown Princess to be happy, so he said he didn't care, sat aside and began to calm down.
After a period of time, when the heartbeat and breathing became even, the old imperial doctor walked to the bedside and checked the princess's pulse.
Although separated by a layer of gauze, Li Xian could still vaguely see how much Fang Furong was looking forward to at this moment.
However, after checking the pulse for a while, the old imperial doctor said, "Crown Princess, please stretch out your other hand."
Hearing this sentence, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If the joy is in vain...
After a long time, the old doctor let go of his hand, stood up, and saluted the prince.
Glancing at the direction of the bed, Li Xian frowned and said, "What's the result?"
The old imperial doctor sighed, cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, the pulse condition of pregnancy is usually Hua Mai. Hua Mai means that the pulse is fluent and smooth, like beads rolling on a jade plate. However, the Crown Princess's pulse does not look like that. She’s pregnant.”
After saying that, the old imperial doctor began to sweat. Not only because of this trouble, but also because of worries about his own fate. Being an imperial doctor naturally brings rewards that ordinary people cannot imagine, but at the same time, the head is not as stable as ordinary people's.
Hearing the imperial doctor's answer, Li Xian sighed, made a sign to see off guests, and waved to both Li Yun and Shangguan Wan'er.
Li Yun sent the imperial doctor out with a gloomy face.
It wasn't until the palace door closed that a suppressed cry came from the gauze tent.
Li Xian reluctantly opened the gauze curtain and felt a headache when he saw Fang Furong covering her mouth with tears streaming down her face but still making a sound.
Perhaps, if he had just hit her, he wouldn't have made her cry like this. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
He walked to the bed and sat down, putting his arms around her. Li Xian sighed: "I didn't get pregnant this time. Let's just keep trying next time. There's no need to be so sad. Besides, your menstruation has just stopped, even if it's Even if you are pregnant, it will take some time before you can feel your pulse, right?"
Listening to her husband's comforting voice and seeing that there was no one else in the room, Fang Furong simply let go and started crying.
Li Xian sighed and could only pat her back once, as if coaxing a child.
After a long time, until the sun shone into the hall, Fang Furong was tired of crying and fell asleep with her eyes closed.
Carefully placing her arms on the bed, Li Xian had time to get dressed.
After walking out of the screen tent, I found that breakfast had been placed on the newly placed table by the door. Kong Xinyu and Xiao Xiao were sitting there, looking worriedly.
Unlike the original Zhang, Fang Furong has obviously gained the respect of these three people and has become the well-deserved eldest sister among the four. She obviously would not keep the possible pregnancy a secret from the three of them. I guess they knew exactly what happened today.
Seeing the prince's husband coming out, the three of them quickly stood up and saluted.
Li Xian waved his hand, walked to the table, and then said: "The imperial doctor's diagnosis is that she is not pregnant. However, she has not had her period for three days, which is certain. Whether she is pregnant or not, we have to wait a few days. .”
After saying that, he picked up the porridge bowl and started eating breakfast. He didn't even use a spoon, just held the bowl and poured it into his mouth bit by bit.
Looking at the prince's husband's appearance, Kong Xinyu knew very well that it was not just the prince's sister who was disappointed.
After hesitating for a while, she said: "Your Highness, I... I can also diagnose my pulse. Do you think you should let me try again?"
Li Xian hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Just now, be careful, don't let her wake up, just call her secretly."
Although it is very possible to be disappointed again, if you don’t try, you don’t know what the result will be.
No big deal, just wait a few more days and see.
Seeing that the prince's husband agreed, Kong Xinyu tiptoed towards the bed.
Qi Lan glanced at the direction of the bed, then looked at the prince's uniform on the prince's husband, and couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, you don't plan to practice martial arts today?"
Li Xian shook his head: "Rong Rong was hit hard today. It's better for me to stay here with her. If you want to practice martial arts, go ahead."
Qi Lan was surprised and then shook his head.
Xiao Xiao, who had been silent all the time, couldn't help but blush and lowered his head.
It seems that the Crown Princess is right. The Crown Prince is indeed a rare husband who loves his wives and concubines.
It was just taking a pulse, and although it was time-consuming, Kong Xinyu didn't come out until Li Xian finished his breakfast, so he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Just when he was about to go over and take a look, Kong Xinyu opened the curtain and walked out.
Without looking, just looking at the joy on her face, you knew that the situation had taken a turn for the better.
Running over like a trot, Kong Xinyu said in surprise: "Your Highness, I have just called you for a long time. Based on my pulse, there is an 80% chance that the princess sister is pregnant!"
"Pregnant?"
"Yes, my father once spent a hundred gold in exchange for a true biography of Po Wen. According to Po Wen's description of the pulse, although it is weak, it can be determined that the princess sister is very likely to be pregnant. If you want to truly I’m sure, I have to wait a few more days, and by then, the pulse will be clearer.”
"you sure?"
"Sure!"
Seeing that Kong Xinyu was not joking at all, Li Xian immediately stood up and subconsciously wanted to shake Fang Furong awake and tell her the news.
However, after taking only two steps, he stopped again.
It’s better not to say anything!
After hope is shattered once, the damage is not as simple as one plus one equals two.
But after the disappointment has passed, and the news of pregnancy is revealed, the feeling of surviving a desperate situation can actually double the joy.
After thinking about it, Li Xian turned around and said to Kong Xinyu: "Don't tell her about this yet. Let's wait until a few days later, when the pulse condition can be confirmed 100%, then tell her. "
Kong Xinyu also knew what the prince's husband meant, so she nodded and said no more.
In the next few days, Fang Furong's menstrual period never came. And every day at noon, Kong Xinyu would take her pulse while she was taking a nap.
It wasn't until the morning of the tenth day that Kong Xinyu, who secretly sneaked into Cheng'en Hall early in the morning, nodded affirmatively after taking his pulse.
This time, I can be 100% sure!
Seeing her nod, Li Xiancai breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to pull her to the bed and sat down, while he put on his clothes and went out.
I really didn’t know how to tell her, so I had to ask someone else to do it for me.
As for the kids....
It wasn't until he was sure that he had a child that Li Xian discovered that his fear of children because of being a "naughty child" indeed accounted for 80% to 90% of his fear of children. However, when it comes to his own children, he is only 10 to 20 percent satisfied.
As for the remaining 89%, it is because of a sense of responsibility.
The crow feeds back and the lamb kneels to breastfeed. Before these filial piety, the first thing is the dedication of parents to their children.
Even most of the animals in the world have unimaginable love for their offspring, let alone the primate of all things - humans.
Regardless of whether the child is a boy or a girl, from the day he/she is born, as the father, he has the responsibility to raise them up and lead them on the right path. You can be hungry yourself, but your children cannot be hungry. You can wear rags yourself, but your children cannot wear rags.
No matter how hard and tiring it is to raise children, you can't tell them because as a father, this is your responsibility. There is no other way to take responsibility other than shouldering it honestly and seriously.
After walking out of Cheng'en Hall and looking back, Li Xian felt a little more weight on his shoulders.
In order for this child to have a bright future, I can't slack off easily!
No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, you can only take the path of overcoming them and reaching the summit successfully!
