As time passed day by day, Yan Shiqing finally remembered one thing. It seemed that her relatives had never come.
When she realized this, she looked solemn and repeatedly checked her pulse with both hands.
Chu Ximo was on the boat and suspected that Yan Shiqing was pregnant, so he did nothing during these days and stayed with her.
Sometimes the two of them discussed together how to persuade Emperor Dexuan, and they also said that if Emperor Dexuan still did not abdicate the throne in the end, what would happen to Dachu, and what would happen after he abdicated the throne.
Sometimes we discuss together which country to go to first after setting off from Hongwu Kingdom, and how to promote their great Chu.
Of course, when Yan Shiqing was reading medical books or researching prescriptions, he was planning the riverbank of Dachu based on the routes of the rivers he passed along the way.
But at this time, when Yan Shiqing took her pulse, he was by her side.
"how?"
Chu Ximo waited for a long time, and when he saw her expression, there was both anticipation for a new life and fear that she was really pregnant.
This way to Hongwu Kingdom, it would be okay to take a boat or something, but he was afraid of traveling by land.
If you are pregnant, it is best not to travel far away, let alone go overseas with you.
Yan Shiqing seemed not to have heard anything. She lowered her eyes with some surprise and reached out to touch her abdomen.
When Chu Ximo saw this, how could he not guess it? His tone was filled with surprise and worry: "But you are pregnant? Why don't you go overseas first and wait until you give birth to the baby?"
Yan Shiqing finally came to her senses. When she heard this, she shook her head: "No, I must go!"
After she said this, she also knew that her reaction was a bit fierce, so she turned around and said softly: "Ah Mo, we can go by ourselves anytime, but Huaijin can't. Right now, we can only take him out while he is still young.
To open his eyes, we also need to let him know that the outside world is completely different from Dachu. This will be beneficial to him and Dachu in the future."
Chu Ximo knew that she was doing it for Xiao Nian's well-being. Hearing this, he sighed and held her in his arms: "I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it!"
Yan Shiqing simply leaned into his arms, looked at the wide water outside the window, and said: "Don't worry, I am a doctor myself, and I won't make fun of myself. They say doctors can't heal themselves, but that's not true.
And Master? I think we can arrive in Huaizhou in the next two days, and she is still waiting for us. Master is here, so don’t worry, Amo."
Chu Ximo hugged her hand, tightened it slightly, and replied: "Qingqing, actually I thought you wouldn't want children in the next two years. I didn't expect it to happen so soon..."
"Theoretically, we shouldn't have it at this time. It's best to wait until we return from overseas countries. But at that time, Huaijin will enter the palace. The children we have in the future will have less contact with Huaijin. By then, they will
The relationship between brothers and sisters will definitely not be very close. I want to let Huaijin have more contact with us after the child is born. Also, the emperor will feel less guilty.
"
Chu Ximo didn't expect this to be the reason. He lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, saying with affection in his tone: "Thank you for your hard work!"
Yan Shiqing raised a smile at the corner of her mouth, touched her abdomen with both hands, and said: "It's not hard or hard, this child came at the right time. From the moment she was in the belly, Huaijin will be with her.
We won't grow old together. And when the news of pregnancy reaches the capital, the Emperor and the Queen Mother will feel less guilty about taking away our child."
Yes, Yan Shiqing has always known that since Xiao Nian'an was established as the crown prince, Empress Dowager Jiang and Emperor Shun'an had a faint look of guilt in their eyes when they saw the couple.
The emperor has no heirs, but Prince Mo's palace only has one child.
Now that the child has been established as the prince, he will live in the East Palace in the future and cannot leave the palace easily. This is equivalent to taking away the only heir of Prince Mo's palace.
But with a child in the belly, whether it is a boy or a girl, at least when Xiao Nian'an enters the palace, their Prince Mo's palace will not be empty, not even a next generation.
The heirs of the royal family withered away. During the reign of Emperor Yongchang, the only surviving princes were Chu Xixuan, Chu Xihao and Chu Ximo.
Now Shun'an Emperor Chu Xixuan has no hope in his life, and Chu Xixuan, who was named King of An County, has no legitimate children so far, and only one bastard, and his body is a little weak.
If Empress Dowager Jiang knew that she was pregnant at this time, she would probably be happier than herself.
In ancient times, especially in the royal family, no one would object to having many heirs, let alone a direct descendant.
When Chu Ximo heard this, he didn't say anything, but the love in his eyes became a little stronger.
Time flies, two days pass, and their ship arrives at the dock in Huaizhou.
Huaizhou is the city with the least water shortage in the entire Da Chu. Since the canal was built, the place that used to be considered a bit dry has never been short of water.
And the places where people live are gradually moving to the riverside.
Originally, most of the existing rice in Dachu was produced here, but even so, there were actually not many paddy fields.
But now, looking around, most of the original dry land has been turned into paddy fields, and the patches are golden, just in time for harvest.
Because Huaizhou is close to the Hongwu Kingdom, it is the only place that Chu and the Hongwu Kingdom must pass through, so commerce has become extremely developed.
People were coming and going in the streets and alleys, not to mention the various hawking sounds. Even the dock, which had only been built a few years ago, was a lively and prosperous scene.
Ni, who had been waiting here for a long time, waited until the medicinal materials she had bought were put on the boat. When she saw Chu Ximo carefully feeding Yan Shiqing water, a flash of surprise flashed across her eyebrows.
"Master!"
Yan Shiqing saw Mrs. Ni coming up and quickly stood up to greet her: "Has Guang'an Hall been settled?"
"alright!"
Ni nodded subconsciously, then looked at Yan Shiqing and Chu Ximo up and down, and finally his eyes fell on Yan Shiqing's belly, and then reached out to explore her wrist.yyls
Yan Shiqing smiled as she took her pulse and explained in a low voice: "Master, I'm pregnant, less than two months old!"
Mrs. Ni had also been diagnosed, and immediately said: "You should rest more in the first three months. Don't be afraid. Master is with you in everything. Among the medicinal materials I bought this time, there is no anti-fetal medicine, but it doesn't matter. I will wait until I enter Hongwu."
After going to China, go buy it over there."
"Thank you, Master!"
"Silly girl, thank you for anything. But do you want to write a letter and ask someone to bring the creek from Camelback Town?"
Hearing this, Yan Shiqing shook her head: "No need. I have written some medical books of my own for her over the past few years, which are enough for her to ponder carefully in the past few years. She is still young, and her foundation is not solid enough, and she
Lack of experience. Letting her stay in Tuofeng Town is also a kind of experience for her. Besides, Biyun's medical skills are not low, and it is also good for her to have Biyun to guide her. Besides, her mother and brother are both in Dachu Capital, so she
If you think about it, you can at least go to Beijing and have a look. If you follow me, it will take several years, and our whereabouts are uncertain. Most of them are floating on the sea, and there are no various doctors who can improve her medical skills.
There’s not much benefit.”
Ni also knew that Xiaoxi, her disciple, had worked very hard in the past few years and taught her everything she needed to know, but in the end she still needed to put what she had learned into practice instead of just talking about it on paper.
In the absence of various patient treatments, it is simply empty talk to say that you understand everything.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Let me see what medicines you have prepared when you come out this time?"
"Master, please follow me!"
Yan Shiqing said, glanced at Chu Ximo and told him to go about his business, and then took Bai Zhi to the cabin that was specially used as a pharmacy for her.
She had prepared a lot of pills this time, including all kinds of pills, almost everything she could think of.
Mrs. Ni looked at the pills that had been processed one by one and saw that many of them were mentioned in the notes she had given to Yan Shiqing. She was very satisfied at the moment.
"That's almost it. The batch of medicines I brought are also made into pills to be prepared. But now that you are pregnant, you don't have to worry about these. Just come as a teacher and you can rest."
"good!"
On the other side, Chu Ximo took advantage of the opportunity to replenish the ship with drinking water, meat, vegetables, etc., and sent the envelope he had written earlier to someone to pass back to the capital.
After buying the things, we set off to Hongwu Kingdom again.
In the Prince's Mansion in the capital of Hongwu Kingdom, Qi Lie had been counting on his fingers when Yan Shiqing would come back last year since she returned to get married.
Finally he heard the news that she had set off for this side, and he looked forward to her arriving soon every day.
After all, she said that when she comes again, she will convince his father to abdicate and allow him to ascend the throne.
If he is the biological son of Emperor Dexuan, then he is worried.
After all, he is already the prince, and the throne will be his sooner or later.
But it's different. His biological father is someone else. If he doesn't ascend the throne, he will feel uneasy every day.
Although his position as crown prince is now stable, who knows what if Emperor Dexuan knew that he was not his biological son and killed him with a knife?
Only by ascending the throne and sitting in that position can everything be settled.
"Feng Jun, please ask someone to check and see where Shiqing and the others are. It's been more than two months, why haven't they arrived yet?"
It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, so we should have arrived long ago by land and water.
"yes!"
Feng Jun got married, and he married Liancheng's sister Lian Yan.
Now he holds the post of Prince's family magistrate, a fourth-grade official, managing everything in the Prince's house.
Lian Yan, the daughter of an imperial merchant, was able to marry him as his wife because of Liancheng, and she was considered a high-ranking member of the Lian family.
After Qi Lie waited for Feng Jun to go out, he couldn't sit still. After thinking about it, he asked Liancheng, Shen Yi and others to come over for discussion.
He had to think about what would be best if his father agreed to the Zen position. If that failed, what would he do next?
It is naturally impossible to force him to conceive. After all, his position as prince is quite stable so far.
The best way is to think of a profitable business to attract his father's attention, so that his father will have no time to think about anything, and no time to listen to gossip.
But now some parts of the rivers in Hongwu Kingdom and Dachu have been opened. His father has set up checkpoints in the rivers in each city, and he collects a lot of fees every month. His attention is now focused on it. What should he do?
How can I ask him to divert his attention?
Or, keeping his attention on it without being diverted is also a big problem.
