Jia Yao of the Red Chamber

Chapter 60 Pregnancy

The eldest princess is pregnant.This news caused a great shock to the imperial palace where no new life had come for a long time.Not to mention the eldest prince who is the father, even the emperor and the old empress are extremely happy.The eldest prince and the eldest concubine had been married for many years, and because of the death of the empress, no one was too concerned about the pregnancy of the eldest concubine.But now it has been a few years since the queen's filial piety period has passed.If there is no movement in the First Concubine's stomach, it will be impossible to justify it.

Of course, as a prince who tries his best to please his father in everything, it is impossible to ask the concubine to give birth to the eldest son, and the eldest prince and concubine came from the Xie family. no face.The relationship between their husband and wife is also good, but the matter of children and heirs is separated in the middle, after all, there is a layer of weakness in their hearts.

This time the eldest prince's concubine is pregnant, which has given the eldest prince back a lot of weight from the emperor.This can be regarded as the No.1 of the third generation of the royal family. The grandson of the eldest son of the emperor is self-evident.The queen mother is also very happy.She can see the coming of the fourth generation with her eyes open. Isn't that a great blessing?It's just that she still has a little inhumane regret in her heart.That was an idea she had had since Jia Yao married in: she hoped that her third grandson would give birth to the emperor's great-grandson.Although they are all ordinary grandchildren, their five fingers are both long and short. It is normal for the old queen to prefer Mo Lanyan.Seeing that the grandson's daughter-in-law has it, she might not want to add a great-grandson to herself.This idea is now hopeless.Although Jia Yao and Mo Lanchang have only been married for a short time, they are not in a hurry about having children.But the queen mother was happy, looking at Jia Yao's belly who came to pay her respects, she still looked a little sad.

Jia Yao is used to looking at people's faces, seeing the old lady's eyes seem to fall on her stomach, her heart is moved.She naturally understood what this look meant.It's not that she hasn't thought about children, but just thinking about it doesn't mean she can have one.Seeing the eldest prince's concubine's always gentle and indifferent face, showing a bit of pride for the first time, she knew that having a child was really an important thing in life for a woman.So much so that this extremely rich woman who can even bow down to her with a smile, can hardly maintain her indifference.

After all, the old lady didn't mention the child with Jia Yao, and now Jia Yao and Mo Lanyan have moved to live in Prince Qin's Mansion.Naturally, the emperor also found an excuse for the eldest prince to confer the title of Prince of Zhijun, and went out of the palace with Mo Lanyan and the others to build a mansion.Now Jia Yao can't come to pay respects to the old queen every three days like in the past, and she doesn't have a decent mother-in-law above her, so there are very few restraints.The old lady was separated from her by generations, and she always liked her, so she didn't want to put pressure on her like a wicked mother-in-law.As usual, I rewarded some seasonal melons and fruits that were only given by the palace for her to take back home.

In late spring, the emperor asked Qin Tianjian to choose an auspicious day for relocation, and Mo Lanchang and Jia Yao went to their mansion from then on.Before the mansion was completed, Mo Lanchang had already visited it several times. Jia Yao had only seen the blueprints and heard the description Mo Lanchang gave her, but she had never actually been there once, and she was longing for it in her heart.That day when the two princes left the palace, everything was finally settled. Jia Yao and Mo Lanchang sat in the carriage and finally arrived at their mansion.When they arrived at the gate, because people from the palace followed, although Jia Yao really wanted to get out of the carriage, she could see in all the way, but she finally restrained herself and kept looking at it with the curtain of the carriage lifted.The repairs on the outside are all well-regulated and dignified.Compared with the Rongguo Mansion, it is not gorgeous, and compared with Lin Ruhai's mansion, it is much more exquisite.Jia Yao had seen the blueprint Mo Lanzhang gave him before, but she didn't expect that the finished product would look better.

There were especially many peach trees in the courtyard of the Wangfu. At that time, the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the fallen flowers were scattered in all directions with the spring breeze, and one or two fell in from the curtain Jia Yao opened.Mo Lanchen leaned over and twirled the peach blossoms on Jia Yao's lap with her slender fingers, "I ordered them to grow more peach blossoms. Does Yao'er know what it is for?"

Jia Yao naturally knew it. Hearing what he said, Jia Yao's thoughts also followed to that spring day in the mountains many years ago, and she couldn't help but feel the corners of her lips curl up.

Mo Lanyan watched her fall into the memory, and her eyes were full of warmth, "At that time, my mother had just left, and I took Xiao Wu to the Qingxu temple to pray for my mother. Originally, it was only for the separation. To relax, I went for a walk to the back of the mountain. But I saw a peach blossom, which was in full bloom. Before I could appreciate it, I saw a little girl, who was so ignorant of etiquette, she took off her shoes and socks and danced. I thought I was still thinking about which girl this is, but don't be surprised that the peach blossoms are all over the mountain... But when I saw it, I realized in my heart that it turned out that there were people who said that the fish fell into the wild. Why don't you just let me, an ignorant goose, Falling down in shock."

Jia Yao first heard him talk about taking the fifth prince to pray for the successor empress, and based on the time she guessed, her heart was indeed so, and then she heard him say that she had nothing but shoes and socks, and she was ashamed, and then she heard him praise herself, and she was happy and happy. Feeling proud, she just replied, "Are you a dumb goose? It's so easy to listen to you and the music, so you know you're a romantic!" Jia Yao bumped him with her forehead.But my heart was soft and gentle, as if being blown by the spring breeze.

Mo Lanzhang reached out to pick the petals that accidentally fell on her hair, "My song is only compatible with your dance. Only then did I know that the Spring Festival Gala on April Mountain is waiting for you Peach Blossom Fairy."

On their wedding night, when they were in love, Mo Lanyan also said this sentence. Jia Yao heard it now, and she only felt that it was even sweeter. She stopped talking and rested her head on Mo Lanyan's shoulder...

In the blink of an eye, it was more than a month.It is already hot summer now, and the weather is very hot.The peach blossoms fell one after another, and small blue fruits bloomed one after another.After Jia Yao greeted the old lady, she took some melons and fruits back home in a carriage.Even though there were two baskets of ice on the car, people were still unbearably hot.Du Jia Yao didn't feel hot because she had practiced Taoyao Jue, and her body was circulating with aura.Very cool.Taoxi Xingzhi is used to seeing it, although she is also amazed, she doesn't respond, but she is more willing to join Jia Yao's side.Mo Lanzhang found it strange, not to mention that it is a miracle that his wife is not afraid of heat at all, but now he seems to be more resistant to heat than in previous years.Neither he nor Jia Yao knew that, as a member of the Tian Family, Mo Lanyan already had a dragon aura in his body, and after making love with Jia Yao, both of them complemented each other.Now, not only is she not afraid of the cold and heat, but the luck in Mo Lanyan's body is also longer.

After returning to Prince Qin's mansion, Mo Lanchang was not there.Now he is assigned by the emperor to work in the official department, and he may not be able to come back every time before dinner.Jia Yao is not in a good mood and has no appetite.I used some fresh melons and fruits rewarded by the Queen Mother.Ask Taoxi to read from the story book, and then take a lazy nap.Although Jia Yao didn't suffer from the heat in this summer, she still couldn't lift her spirits.The son heard the news that the eldest princess concubine was pregnant, although Jia Yao would not be jealous and annoyed because of it, it was inevitable that she would be disappointed.Mo Lanchang didn't mention this to her, and she didn't ask him if he wanted to have a child.This is nonsense, he naturally thought, just like she thought too.

She has never been a mother, and she has never taken care of children in her past and present lives.However, as a woman, when I think of a soft baby in the future, I will take a step with my support, I will grow the first small tooth under my care, and I will narrow my eyes when I smile. Everyone will be so soft-hearted!Otherwise, how could she be as calm as the eldest princess with an uncontrollable smile in her actions.

A long time ago, in a girl's fantasy, she thought of her and Yin Feng's child.It may be a handsome little boy like him, or a little girl who likes to act like a baby and cry like her.She thought, he (she) must be smart and mischievous, good and thoughtful.Because he (she) will be her child, the best child in the world.

Years seemed to have passed since then, and many years had indeed passed.The life trajectory of the new life is like a nearly [-]% transparent mask in PS, covering the previous life.Now she has lived with Mo Lanyan for more than a year, and the life of husband and wife is undoubtedly different from dating.But because she and Mo Lanzhang were not familiar with each other before, they still liked each other.Therefore, during this year, they were living as husband and wife again, and at the same time they were passionately in love.

She would love to have a baby with him.Like him, but also like myself.If it's a boy, he must have Mo Lanyan's straight eyebrows and side face, he can play tricks, he can speak nice words to make her happy, and he can puff out his immature breasts and say to protect her.If it's a girl, she must not cry too much, she has to tie her beautiful braids.Make her a doll that no other little girl would have in this day and age.

Just as Jia Yao was thinking about it, she saw a little doll stumbling towards her.She was wondering where a child ran out of the palace, and the doll suddenly fell to the ground.There was a "thud" in her heart, and she hurried forward to help the child up.This doll is chubby, and it only makes people think that the eyebrows and eyes are cute, but Jia Yao feels that she can't see clearly.For a moment, it seemed that the child's appearance was imprinted in her heart, which made her even more confused.No matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see it clearly, Jia Yao couldn't help feeling anxious, frowning tightly, not knowing what to do.

I was in a hurry, feeling the warmth between my brows in a trance.Then I heard someone whispering in my ear, "What dream did you have, that you frown so tightly?"

Jia Yao understood a little in her heart, the giggling little chubby baby turned out to be a dream, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.She slept a little dazedly, her eyelids were stuck together and she couldn't open her eyes. She felt that someone was hugging her, "I can sleep very much these days, don't you have something wrong with your body? I'm back, why don't you Can't get up, can you still sleep at night!" Seeing her still leaning in his arms with her eyes closed, Mo Lanyan was annoyed and funny, "Get up quickly. I heard that you didn't eat anything at noon, so you have to sleep well at night. It’s time to eat. Kuxia is not the way to go.”

After coaxing him for a while, Jia Yao finally felt more sober.Rubbing her cheek against his chest, she opened her eyes. "Have I slept for so long? Or did you come back early today?"

"You slept all afternoon! Last night we went to bed early, you shouldn't be so sleepy! What dream did you have just now, I see you are frowning? Have a nightmare?"

"It's not a nightmare," Jia Yao shook her head, "I dreamed of a little doll, it's so cute!"

Mo Lanzhang understood, knowing that the eldest princess concubine was pregnant stimulated her.Of course, he was also looking forward to the matter of the child, but she had just married him not long ago, so there was no need to be in a hurry.Let nature take its course. "How about giving me one if you like it? I'll try my best today..." He lowered his head and teased deliberately.

Jia Yao slapped her up, "Not serious!" After thinking for a while, she said, "Did they make dinner? You should have dinner when you usually come back!"

Mo Lanyan dragged her up, "It's all set up, get up quickly. I'll be waiting for you, let's use it together."

Mo Lanzhang woke her up and went to the front to wash her hands.Under the service of Taoxi and the others, Jia Yao also changed her clothes and cleaned her hands.

Because it is summer, the food is light.A Taihu Lake whitefish was steamed under cilantro and served in a small porcelain bowl.Jia Yao has always loved eating this.Then he picked up a chopstick and put it in his own bowl.

It's just that today, for some reason, before the most proud dish reaches his mouth, he is disgusted by the fishy smell.

"Ouch~" Jia Yao retched uncontrollably, but she hadn't eaten anything else since morning, so she couldn't vomit anything, only holding back her tears.

"What's the matter?" Mo Lanyan dropped the chopsticks, got up to her side anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Jia Yao managed to calm down, "Who made this fish today? Why is it so fishy?" Saying the word "fishy", Jia Yao couldn't help but think of the disgusting smell just now, "vomit~~~"

Mo Lan was puzzled, and also picked up a chopstick.I don't think it has a big smell.I sent it to my mouth and tasted it, "Isn't this the same as before? I tasted it and it's okay!"

Nanny Liu and Nanny Song looked at each other at this moment, and they could see a kind of longing but unsure surprise in each other's eyes.The two of them exchanged eye contact, seeing that Mo Lanyan was about to announce the imperial doctor in a hurry, and finally Nanny Song said, "Back to the third prince, I think the third princess is not sick. It's like..."

Neither Mo Lanchang nor Jia Yao knew everything, and at this moment, there was a faint guess in his heart, "What does it look like?" Mo Lanchang asked.

"It seems to be there." Nanny Song lowered her head and covered her smile.

The doctor will come soon.Jia Yao was secretly counting her menstruation, only to realize that this time it was really late, she only thought that it was because she was greedy for cold food these days, so she postponed it, and now she was looking forward to it.

No one was in the mood for dinner.Mo Lanzhang hugged Jia Yao and lay down on the bed.The curtain was lowered, leaving only one hand covered with a silk kerchief to check the pulse of the imperial physician.

The old imperial doctor has been taking the pulse of the nobles in the palace for decades, and he is an expert in gynecology.After listening for a long while, he respectfully asked Jia Yao's hand back.

"The third concubine's pulse condition does seem to be pregnant, and this reaction sounds like it. It's just that the month is still young, and the old minister dare not make a judgment. After half a month, the pulse condition is mature, and the veteran dare not judge."

The old doctor didn't veto it, but Jia Yao already felt like fireworks were going off in her heart, very like...very like...that is, she was sure that her child had already arrived.Hers, his, their children.It was the fat baby in the dream who couldn't see the face clearly.Already come to her, her darling.Come to find mom.

I couldn't hear Mo Lanyan's ecstasy laughing at all, and I couldn't see the old doctor holding Taoxi's bounty several times higher than usual, and I didn't care that Mo Lanyan was going back and forth in the room, bumping into walls and pillars several times .She unconsciously raised her hand to caress her flat belly, with a dreamy smile on her face, unable to regain consciousness.

Until Mo Lanyan suddenly rushed over and hugged her up, "Yaoer, Yaoer, baby~~~ We are going to have a little baby, our child, haha, our child!"

Jia Yao put her arms around his neck and buried her face in his shoulder, "Yes." She replied in a low voice.A smile on your face is more happiness than happiness.

Until the two of them fell asleep at night, there was still a smirk on their faces.The two of them have not received an accurate final answer, and they already feel that they have been promoted to stupid parents.Head to head hugging each other, the two of them were talking softly.

"Do you want a boy or a girl?" Jia Yao gently circled Mo Lan's chest with her fingers.Mo Lanyan grabbed her naughty finger, put it on her lips and kissed it, and asked without answering, "What about you?"

"I like them all." Jia Yao narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"Yes. Both boys and girls are good, they are all my sweethearts. We will not have only one child."

Mo Lanyan originally thought that Jia Yao would be sweet without being shy after hearing this, but Jia Yao suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at him seriously, "No, we will only have one child. I only want one child."

Mo Lanyan couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words, raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you say that?"

Jia Yao looked into his eyes, "I only want one child in my life. I will give all my love to him alone. I am his only mother, so he is my only child."

Mo Lan was amused, "I haven't heard anyone say that before! A child's idea!"

Jia Yao didn't smile, "I'm serious. Being a parent is human, and it's inevitable that there will be partiality. I can't guarantee that I won't be partial, so I want my child to be the only one. I only love him. Whether he is Excellent or mediocre, I will not give up on him. Because he is my only one and my most precious treasure.”

Mo Lanyan understood what she meant, and couldn't help being shocked. He wanted to say a lot, wanted to refute her wayward thoughts, and wanted to say that as long as it was his own child, he would love it.But when those words came to his lips, he couldn't say them all.At the end he uttered a completely off-brained line, without thinking, but he seemed to be thinking, "Okay. Well, then, he's my only child too. Only him, totally my child."

Jia Yao buried her face in his arms, tears wet his strong chest.

The temperature seemed to burn through his flesh until his beating heart at the moment, and he began to think over and over the sentence he said unconsciously just now, he can't have only one child, not even the child born to her.So what does he mean?Only treat the child of the two of them as a flesh and blood, as a heart and soul. In the future, it will only be the grandson of the emperor, the heir?Yes, he didn't think about it, but he already thought so in his heart.This child he was looking forward to with all his heart at this moment, his only child, he would love him as deeply as his mother and concubine loved this child.

Compared with him, Jia Yao's mood is even more chaotic.After marrying in, what she deliberately ignored, the reality that he will have other women and children born to him by other women has surfaced again.Before she got married, she thought that she was already prepared, that she would manage her married life well and accept all the rules of this era.But after getting along with him, she realized that she didn't want to, didn't want to compromise in this era at all...

What did he mean when he said that he would not have other children?Is he promising that he won't have another woman?However, even if he is willing, what about the emperor?Where is the Queen Mother?What about families with daughters to marry?

She didn't say a word, tears stayed on his broad chest, let him wrap her arms around her, patted her back lightly, after an unknown amount of time, she seemed to hear a deep sigh from him, She is already fast asleep...
