(PC: The previous chapter said that the appetite starts to improve after four months of pregnancy. It is not already four months. There are missing words. Don’t understand it wrong.)
In the blink of an eye, it was three months later.
The New Year is approaching, and the temperature has dropped sharply in the past few days. At this time, the eaves and branches have been covered with ice, covered with a layer of silver. At first glance, it is crystal clear and very beautiful.
Now, Yu Lan is seven months pregnant. Because she is carrying twins in her belly, her belly now looks like that of a woman who is eight months pregnant.
As her belly got bigger, Yu Lan really realized how hard it was to be pregnant. Her body was heavy, it was difficult to bend down, and even walking was difficult.
Sometimes I feel dizzy, chest tight and short of breath. Especially I always want to urinate and have to have sex countless times a day, even at night. In short, I feel embarrassed and helpless.
The main thing is that I don’t sleep well. I feel difficulty breathing and can’t breathe when I lie down. I have to be careful when turning over, otherwise my stomach will hurt. Sometimes, sleeping is so uncomfortable that I still have to sleep in the middle of the night.
Get up, sit and breathe.
In short, she is really restless now and it is not easy.
At this time, in the corridor of the inner courtyard of Rongxi Palace, Yu Lan put her hands on her waist and walked back and forth along the corridor with the support of her mother. She was also accompanied by the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting for her.
"call……"
"So tired..."
Hearing her daughter cry out that she was tired, Jiang was allowed to enter the palace to take care of Yu Lan and reached out to pat her daughter's shoulder to comfort her.
Glancing at her daughter, Mrs. Jiang said: "You are very heavy now. You have to walk more and exercise more, otherwise you will suffer in the future. It is not easy for this woman to give birth to one child. You are still pregnant with two children."
Even my mother is worried about you."
When Yu Lan was four or five months pregnant, her belly size looked normal, and no one could tell she was pregnant with twins.
No, after six months, Yu Lan's belly looked particularly pregnant. Now at seven months, it looks the same as that of eight months pregnant. So Jiang speculated that Yu Lan might be pregnant with twins.
At first Jiang was doubtful and not sure. This is the imperial palace.
If she said she was pregnant with two children and only gave birth to one, where would she go to find another child to compensate her son-in-law? She would have to tell her daughter in private about her suspicions.
After Yu Lan heard her mother's guess, she couldn't help but laugh. She directly told her that she was carrying two babies.
"I know why wives from wealthy families have trouble giving birth and are prone to dystocia. It's because they try to protect the fetus as soon as they get pregnant, or they lie down too lazy to move for fear of being bumped. Without a good body, they can have a good birth.
That's weird. You can't imitate them. You should eat and move.
Even if the weather gets cold, you still have to go out and breathe some fresh air, and you can’t stay in the room all the time.”
The Jiang family had come from the past and had given birth to seven of their siblings. She was already experienced in giving birth to children, so Yu Lan naturally listened to her.
After walking leisurely for a while, I felt that today was almost over, Cuinong who was following me couldn't help but remind me.
"My dear, it's almost done. Why don't you go back and take a rest first? Don't be too tired."
"No, I will leave for a while."
"Yes, empress..."
"My dear, be careful."
"good……"
After walking along the corridor for a while, Yu Lan stopped.
No wonder it is said that one will only know the kindness of his parents when he is raised. This saying is absolutely true.
Yu Lan touched his belly lightly with his hand, glanced at his mother standing next to him, and couldn't help but feel something.
"Mom, thank you for giving birth to me. Thank you for your hard work."
When Jiang heard this, she felt warm in her heart, "Every woman has to be a mother. Although it's a bit hard, when I look at you, I feel it's all worth it."
It doesn't matter if she keeps having daughters. Jiang never thinks that her daughter is superfluous. Even her daughter is the daughter she gave birth to after ten months of hard work. Whenever she thinks of her daughter being sold by the immortal for a few taels of silver, Jiang is now
My heart still hurts.
In the past, many people in that village said, openly or secretly, that the daughters she gave birth to were losers.
Nowadays, her daughter is the emperor's concubine and has a high status. Even those officials have to kneel down and salute respectfully when they see her. Who dares to say that the daughter she gave birth to is a loser.
This really corresponds to the saying, thirty years east of Hedong and thirty years west of Hexi.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is here."
The sound of sweet-scented osmanthus rings in my ears.
Hearing the sound, Yu Lan raised his head and glanced not far away.
In his sight, a tall figure came into Yu Lan's eyes.
He has a slender and straight figure, a handsome and stern appearance. His long black hair is tied up high, making him look very heroic. He is dressed in a black brocade robe and tied with a thick cloak. From a distance, you can still see the clothes.
The black gold dragon pattern totem makes him look majestic and dignified when walking.
The majesty of the emperor is completely natural.
Seeing the emperor coming, all the palace people present saluted.
"This servant (servant) pays his respects to the emperor..."
"My wife has met the emperor..."
Even Yu Lan's mother, now the Duke's wife, bowed down and bowed respectfully when the emperor came.
In theory, the emperor is their son-in-law. If the emperor is just an ordinary person, then they do not need to salute. Instead, it is the son-in-law who wants to greet them. However, the emperor is a king, so it is different.
The emperor was very considerate to his family, especially to Lan's parents in private. Yu Dashu and his wife could feel this.
However, a son-in-law is not an ordinary person after all, he is the king of a country. Therefore, even if His Majesty the Emperor respects them, she cannot push her too far and must never forget the proper etiquette.
At the beginning, when Jiang saw the emperor, he was not like he is now. His forehead was sweating and his feet were weak, which was normal. But after seeing him more times, he got used to it. Thinking that he was his son-in-law, he didn't feel that way.
She was scared. Otherwise, she, an ordinary citizen, would be under a lot of pressure hanging around the emperor all day long.
After glancing at his mother-in-law, Zhao Chengji raised his hand to signal.
Zhao Chengji: "The Duke's wife is exempt from the ceremony..."
Jiang: "Thank you, Your Majesty..."
Zhao Chengji loved his mother-in-law and was respectful and polite to her. Otherwise, he would not have allowed her to freely enter and leave the palace to take care of Yu Lan.
"Master, why are you here?"
Seeing him, Yu Lan stepped forward and reached out to him.
"Slow down..."
After walking a few steps in front of Yu Lan, Zhao Chengji reached out and took Yu Lan's hand.
"He's out and about again."
Yu Lan nodded in response.
"Well, Mom said you can't stay in the room all the time. You should go out and move around more, so that you can suffer less when giving birth."
Zhao Chengji nodded after hearing this.
His mother-in-law gave birth to seven children in a row. Since she said so, it must be reasonable, and the imperial doctor also said that it is also good to walk around and move.
The weather was getting cold, so Yu Lan wore quite a lot of clothes. However, her exposed face was still slightly red from the cold.
"Cold?"
Yu Lan shook his head, "I felt a little cold when I first came out, but now that I've been walking around for a while, I don't feel it anymore. It's just that my body is bulky and it's hard to walk."
He put his arms around her waist. It was really not easy for such a small body with such a big belly.
During this period, Zhao Chengji saw her hardships during pregnancy. Sometimes he would see her sitting up in the middle of the night, feeling distressed and unable to help. The only thing he could do was to turn her over at night or use his internal strength to
Massage her legs to avoid leg cramps.
Maybe others will think that it is shameful for him as the king of a country to do such a thing, and he should not do it. But Zhao Chengji feels that compared with the one he loves working so hard to conceive an heir for him, what he does is insignificant and should be done.
.
"Are you hungry?"
"not yet."
"Then let's go have a meal first."
"Okay."
When going back, Yu Lan pointed to the frozen tree branches not far away.
"Look, those branches are so beautiful, they are all frozen."
"Well, the temperature has dropped in the past few days, and it might be snowing."
Zhao Chengji remembered that the snow was very heavy this year, and there were snow disasters in a few places. Fortunately, they were not too serious. However, these all happened in his previous life. As for when the snow started to fall, he could not remember clearly.
Although Zhao Chengji was reborn, he was already in his forties when he died in his last life. He can't remember everything that happened, and it's normal not to think so. It's good to be able to roughly remember it.
"snow……"
In the third year of Qingyuan, Yu Lan remembered that it snowed very heavily this year, with heavy goose feathers flying in the air, which looked very spectacular.
The snow started to fall at night.
It rained continuously for a day and a night, and then it slowly stopped. Yu Lan remembered that in the third year of Qingyuan, it was her birthday after the first heavy snowfall. Therefore, she remembered clearly when it snowed this year.
Yu Lan was born in winter, and her birthday happens to be three days later.
After doing some math, that means it will snow tomorrow night.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Jiang who was following him speak.
"Speaking of which, Wu'er's birthday is coming soon."
Zhao Chengji knew Yu Lan's birthday. When they got married, he read the post and wrote it down.
Hearing what Yu Lan's mother said, Zhao Chengji nodded slightly.
"It's almost time."
"I will take people to hunt later, catch some mink and make you a cloak." The cloak made of mink fur is fluffy, soft and comfortable.
Yu Lan stopped after hearing this.
"No, how big is the marten? How many animals do you need to kill to make a cloak? Our prince is about to be born, so don't kill them yet. Think of it as accumulating blessings for our prince. So this mink
Forget about the leather cloak."
After Zhao Chengji heard this, he nodded seriously, "I haven't considered this."
"The prince is about to be born, so forget it."
He had always planned to wait for the heavy snow to pass and then go hunting to make her a cloak to protect her as a birthday gift. Since the child's mother said so, it was really inappropriate to go hunting again.
