Yinzhen held Ji Ling's hand and didn't urge her to answer for a while.
He knew very well that if Lingling had something to say, she wouldn't be able to hold it in for long.
Sure enough, after a while, Ji Ling expressed her fear.
After saying that, she felt much more relaxed.
In fact, people are like this. When the water is full, it will overflow. When you have emotions in your heart, you have to talk it out. Having someone to share it with can immediately relieve a lot of psychological pressure.
Yinzhen hugged her back, calmed down, comforted her over and over again, and assured her: "I am here, and there are so many doctors and midwives with superb medical skills. I guarantee that you will be safe!"
It's a good thing he didn't say it. When he mentioned the very pictorial word "midwife", Gillington thought of the appearance of pregnant women crying and howling. He also imagined a river of blood in the delivery room, with palace maids and nuns holding hands.
Basins of hot water were pouring in and out, rushing in and out in a panic.
She shrank her neck and remained silent, and her eye circles began to turn red.
Yinzhen was so confused by her that he could only hold her in his arms and rub her head.
He pressed his chin on the top of Ji Ling's head, nudging her gently every now and then, and pulled her body tightly into his arms.
Ji Ling suddenly felt very envious of Concubine Qi and Concubine Yu - at least they had given birth to children, and they had finally passed through the gate of hell.
Alas, it would be great if, after seven months, when the delivery date comes, she can wake up with an extra child beside her!
Yinzhen saw that she was really scared, so he had to calm down, and tried hard to find some lighthearted gossip to talk about. Then he hugged her and coaxed in a low voice: "Be good, if a pregnant woman is too worried,
It’s not good for the baby in your belly.”
When he said this, Ji Ling immediately glared and tried his best to relax his frown.
She touched her belly and encouraged herself: Be optimistic, it's okay!
I originally traveled through time, but if something unexpected happened when I gave birth to the baby, I might be able to go back to the 21st century!
Besides, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge, and others can cross it. Why can't I pass this level?
Ji Ling comforted herself like this.
Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered the sentence "Look for the dragon and share the gold to see the mountain..."
She covered her mouth and laughed softly.
Yinzhen originally had a solemn look on his face and was thinking of finding some gentle and comforting words to say to Ji Ling.
When he lowered his head, he suddenly saw Ji Ling grinning, as if he had thought of something interesting, covering his mouth and laughing.
Yinzhen:……
He suddenly wanted to raise his hand and poke the person in front of him in the head.
Are there any people whose moods change instantly?
This night, during the supper, Ji Ling wanted to eat rice dumplings again - she also had rice dumplings for lunch, which she specially asked Xiao Dazi to make yesterday.
Xiao Dazi's craftsmanship is very delicate. The rice dumplings made are small and come in one mouthful. The fillings are very simple, with only sweet and salty flavors. The sweet one is filled with bean paste, and not much sugar is added.
The salty one is from the ham. The oil from the lean ham has flowed out and has been absorbed into the glutinous rice. The glutinous rice has been soaked until it is soft and shiny. When you take a bite, it is fragrant.
Qixi came in and heard his master say that he wanted to eat rice dumplings again. He looked a little hesitant and said with a grimace: "Master, didn't you just use it at noon? Why don't you eat it again? Wait a minute, I'm afraid of you.
It hurts your stomach!"
Glutinous rice is not easy to digest, and eating too much of it is really uncomfortable.
But how big is Xiao Dazi’s bag?
Based on that size, she would have to eat three of them to be almost as good as one normal rice dumpling.
Ji Ling winked at Qixi. Qixi was halfway through her words before she realized what she was saying. The rest of the words were choked in her throat - the master's look clearly told her to stop talking.
The master is afraid that the emperor will stop him!
Qixi took a sneak peek at the emperor's face.
How could Yinzhen be fooled by Ji Ling?
Her little winks and little movements had long been seen by him out of the corner of his eye.
He glared at Ji Ling slightly: "My servants all know that they feel sorry for you. Don't you even know what you can eat and what you can't eat more of?"
As he spoke, he raised his head and glared at Qixi, scaring Qixi out alive.
When they were the only two people left in the room, Ji Ling put her arm around Yinzhen, gently rocked it back and forth, and gestured to Fourth Master: "Your Majesty, do you know how big that rice dumpling is?"
She circled it with her fingers and showed it to him, with a distressed look on her face: "It's only so big, not as big as an egg - I didn't even eat it!"
Yinzhen actually wanted to make a face at her, but Ji Ling's look was so funny that he couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing that Fourth Master actually smiled, Ji Ling became more courageous. She stretched out her hand to hug Yinzhen's waist and began to bargain with him: "Your Majesty, please let me eat one, just one. I promise not to eat more!"
Yinzhen snorted and tried to break away from her, but failed. With a sullen face but a hint of a smile on his lips, he let Ji Ling hug her.
Ji Ling buried her head on his back, hummed and bumped it a few times, and then said: "I don't know why, but I just want to eat these days. Maybe it's because the child in my belly wants to eat?"
This reason was quite sufficient, and Yinzhen was immediately shaken.
For this midnight snack, Ji Ling finally got what she wanted and ate two mini rice dumplings, one sweet and one salty, as well as a bowl of chicken soup and corn soup.
There is also a cup of sweet wolfberry bird's nest - the concubines in the harem often use bird's nest to maintain their beauty, and Ji Ling heard before traveling through time that pregnant women should drink more bird's nest, so that the skin of the baby born will be breakable and crystal white.
After pregnant women supplement the nutrition of bird's nest, their bodies will be healthier throughout pregnancy, their resistance will be enhanced, they will recover easily after delivery, and they will be less likely to suffer from postpartum syndrome.
In short, it has a hundred benefits and no harm.
She specifically asked the imperial doctor about drinking bird's nest, and the answer she got was also positive, saying that bird's nest greatly replenishes vitality, moistens the lungs and nourishes yin, and brings fire back to the body.
Yinzhen watched her slurping down the two rice dumplings, without even blinking, and drank a bowl of chicken soup without even blinking. Then she started drinking the bird's nest again without taking a break.
One operation was as fierce as a tiger's.
He reached out and touched the back of Ji Ling's thin neck, and in the end he could only force out one sentence: "...Be good, slow down."
Just as he expected - Ji Ling was full again from this midnight snack.
After both of them had taken a bath and were lying head to head in the tent, Yinzhen reached out to hold Ji Ling's hand and squeezed it carefully in his palm.
She was still burping—probably she knew it was not elegant. Ji Ling covered her mouth with the quilt in embarrassment, trying to hide the sound.
Yinzhen couldn't laugh or cry. He stretched out his hand, pulled off the quilt from her, and rubbed the top of her furry head hard: "I've never seen how ugly you are? Don't cover it up."
Ji Ling burped and threw herself into Fourth Master's arms.
Yinzhen hugged her tightly and carefully avoided her belly.
He put his hand on her back and followed the shape of her spine, gently massaging it section by section.
Ji Ling squinted her eyes and was burying her head in Yinzhen's shoulder comfortably, when she suddenly heard him whisper: "Let me give the child a name."
