After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day
Chapter 139: Only This One Child
"Try this mutton, it's not smelly at all!"
Old Madam Bian kept picking up food for Zhu Qingan, her eyes always on Zhu Qingan, her eyes full of love and care.
"Look at you, always like to force others. Qing'an's bowl is full, how can she eat it all?" The Queen Mother snorted coldly, and she was actually jealous in her heart.
"I haven't forgotten you either!" Old Lady Bian picked up some more food for the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother then laughed. Old Madam Bian looked at Zhu Qing'an's belly and said, "She'll give birth in the early spring of next year, right? The weather will be warmer by then, and both adults and children will feel more comfortable!"
"The due date is in the early spring of next year!" Zhu Qingan said with a smile.
"Please invite Miss Yang to the palace in advance. Miss Yang is an excellent doctor. I will feel more at ease with her by your side!" ordered the Queen Mother.
Although the imperial physicians were skilled in medicine, they were men and were not allowed to enter the palace when the concubines gave birth. Only midwives were there to help, which made the empress dowager worried.
"The Empress Dowager is right! Miss Yang is still more reliable!" Old Lady Bian quickly agreed.
Nowadays, everyone is very confident in Yang Chaoyan's medical skills. Yang Chaoyan has opened a medical clinic in Ancheng, which is quite famous and has become the salvation of many women.
"Don't worry, Empress Dowager and Mother. I have already mentioned this matter to Miss Yang in advance, and she has agreed to it!" Bian Jingsheng said gently as he poured a glass of warm water for Zhu Qing'an.
Zhu Qingan had just taken a bite of mutton. After hearing this, he turned his eyes and looked at Bian Jingsheng in surprise, his tone full of surprise, "How come I don't know?"
She really didn't know that Bian Jingsheng had done this in private. He was so meticulous.
"I consulted Miss Yang a few days ago and asked her about some things that need to be paid attention to during pregnancy. Naturally, I also sought Miss Yang's opinion and asked her to help you when you give birth!" Bian Jingsheng explained in detail.
Although he usually seemed to have everything under control, he was actually more panicked than anyone else about Zhu Qing'an's upcoming birth, and was even a little scared.
Bian Jingsheng knew that giving birth was like walking through the gates of hell for women, and many women even lost their lives during childbirth.
"Your Majesty is very thoughtful!" The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction.
After her niece had been in the palace for a few days, the empress dowager had witnessed with her own eyes how much Bian Jingsheng cared and cared for Zhu Qing'an. Fortunately, she was there to help with government affairs, so that the two of them could live a loving life.
"This is what a husband should do! Qing'an is pregnant now and she is suffering so much. Jingsheng can't help much, so he should be more considerate!" Old Lady Bian said as if it was a matter of course, and she didn't realize how great what her son did was.
"Seeing Qing'an suffering so much during her pregnancy, no matter whether the child is a boy or a girl, I just want this one child!" Bian Jingsheng suddenly held Zhu Qing'an's hand and spoke solemnly to the two elders in front of him.
The two people in front of him are both Bian Jingsheng's mothers. He may not care about what everyone in the world thinks, but he only hopes that these two mothers can understand him.
"Jingsheng?" Zhu Qing'an opened his mouth slightly, but his heart was blocked, afraid that he would cry accidentally.
Zhu Qing'an is a very rational and clear-headed woman. She used to think that if she had a child one day, just one would be enough. She only thought of herself as a human being, not a reproductive animal.
Zhu Qing'an has seen many noble ladies who married into aristocratic families. They give birth to two children in three years, and three children in five years. If they have a girl, they want a boy, and if they have a boy, they want a pair of boys. It seems that there is no end to women's childbearing. In Zhu Qing'an's opinion, this is an extremely sad thing. It seems that they have no control over their own bodies.
But now she knows that pregnancy is not only hardship but also happiness. Moreover, Bian Jingsheng's understanding and preference also make Zhu Qingan feel that pregnancy is a very sacred thing.
Furthermore, Bian Jingsheng's status was there. As an emperor, he would definitely want to have children. Moreover, Bian Jingsheng had already decided that she was the only woman he would have, so there would be no other heirs.
However, Bian Jingsheng actually said that no matter whether the baby was a boy or a girl, he only wanted this one child. What kind of mentality did he have? How much advice and pressure would he have to face from court officials in the future?
The Empress Dowager and Old Lady Bian paused for a moment while they were eating. The two old friends looked at each other, with only shock and relief in their eyes.
"Aunt Yao! Mother!" Bian Jingsheng looked at the two elders without saying a word, and continued, "Ever since she became pregnant, Qing'an has had a very poor appetite and difficulty moving. She tossed and turned at night and had difficulty sleeping! All of this tortured Qing'an. I never want Qing'an to go through such hardships again! Besides, childbirth for women is inherently dangerous..."
Bian Jingsheng couldn't bear to continue saying those unlucky words. Even if he just thought about it, Bian Jingsheng felt he couldn't bear it.
If he loses Zhu Qing'an because of the arrival of this child, then he might as well not have the child.
He likes children because they are his and Qing An's children. He doesn't like every child this much.
"Qing'an, one child is enough for us! Whether it's a boy or a girl, if she likes freedom, she should grow up carefree. I will choose an heir from the side branch. If she has responsibility and accountability, she can continue to benefit the people of Xuanlong Kingdom!" Bian Jingsheng looked at Zhu Qing'an and said firmly.
Zhu Qingan took a deep breath in shock. She understood Bian Jingsheng's decision.
Not only was he prepared to have only this one child, but he also decided that even if the child was a girl, even if his daughter wanted the throne, he would agree. This was absolutely a unique thing.
"Good! Good!" The Queen Mother clapped her hands on the table in joy, her cheeks filled with smiles. The look in her eyes when she looked at Bian Jingsheng was no longer one of admiration but of respect!
"Jingsheng, you are truly better than your teacher! All these years of teaching you were not in vain!" The Queen Mother was really happy.
The Queen Mother has always known that Bian Jingsheng is different from those pedantic men of today, but she also knows that this world will assimilate people. However, the Queen Mother never expected that Bian Jingsheng's ideas would be so advanced.
"Why are you looking at me?" Old Lady Bian glared at the Empress Dowager and continued to eat, saying, "Why? You're the only one who's open-minded, and I'm the only one who's old-fashioned? Having many children isn't a good thing. One is good enough! Besides, you and I are both women. How can we be any less capable than men? So, whether Qing'an's child is a boy or a girl, they're both my grandsons. I'm already very satisfied! Before, I thought Jingsheng would never marry or have children in his lifetime!"
Old Madam Bian was very open-minded, and there was no dissatisfaction or obstruction in her eyes.
Perhaps it was because Old Lady Bian herself was different from others, and she and the Queen Mother had been close friends over the years, and had been somewhat influenced by her, so some things were not easy for her to accept.
What's more, Old Lady Bian always felt that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Since she is old, there is no need for her to interfere in her children's family affairs to avoid being disliked.
"Aunt! Mother-in-law!" Zhu Qing'an looked at the two of them, feeling so moved that she didn't know what to do.
"Child, the Queen Mother and I are old. From now on, as long as you are happy and healthy, that's all that matters! Just like Jingsheng said, giving birth is very hard and dangerous. It's a good thing that Jingsheng considers you, and we naturally agree!" Old Lady Bian touched Zhu Qing'an's hair, her eyes full of love.
In fact, she just wanted to touch Zhu Qingan's cheek, but she remembered that her palms were very rough and was afraid of scratching Zhu Qingan.
"I treat you as my daughter. I am not just saying it nicely. I really mean it!" Old Lady Bian said with a sigh.
She liked Zhu Qing'an very much and regarded her as her own daughter, so naturally she was willing to consider everything from Zhu Qing'an's perspective.
What's more, Madam Bian only had one child. There were people who talked about this and that, and even forced concubines on the old loyal and righteous king, but the old loyal and righteous king stood by her side firmly and did not let her suffer any grievances. Now their son has inherited his father's virtues.
Not to mention Old Lady Bian, even the Empress Dowager has no children, so there is no problem either.
"I feel like I'm really happy!" Zhu Qing'an lowered her head and smiled, holding Bian Jingsheng's palm. These words came from the heart.
Zhu Qing'an always felt that she was a very lucky person, even though she had a tragic experience in her previous life. But even in her previous life, she could not deny that she was much luckier than many women.
"Being happy is the best!" Bian Jingsheng smiled. He hoped that Zhu Qing'an could continue to be happy like this.
After having dinner in the Cining Palace, it was already dark when the two returned to their bedroom.
There is a natural hot spring in the palace, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. Although Zhu Qing'an is pregnant, she still likes cleanliness and wants to take a bath every night.
The bedroom was very large, but after Bian Jingsheng and Zhu Qing'an returned, the palace servants all left one by one, leaving only a few palace servants guarding outside the hall.
Bian Jingsheng helped Zhu Qingan to the hot spring, but Zhu Qingan held Bian Jingsheng's hand and said, "I can do it myself!"
Even though they were already husband and wife, Zhu Qing'an was still a little uncomfortable with being frank with each other, not to mention that she was pregnant. Even when she looked down at her bulging belly, she felt a little discouraged.
"Then be careful! I'll get you clothes!" Bian Jingsheng instructed.
He could understand Zhu Qing'an's shyness, and felt that the shy Zhu Qing'an had a unique charm, with the tenderness unique to girls, which always made Bian Jingsheng's heart soften.
Bian Jingsheng personally went to find clothes for Zhu Qing'an. This was obviously the job of a palace maid, but when it came to Zhu Qing'an, he always did it himself.
After finding his clothes and walking into the inner room, Bian Jingsheng saw Zhu Qing'an soaking in the hot spring pool in the mist, with only a hint of her beautiful white back exposed.
After putting his clothes away, Bian Jingsheng quickly took them off and jumped into the bathtub.
"What are you doing down here!" Zhu Qing'an stepped aside, too embarrassed to look at Bian Jingsheng, but he still couldn't forget what he had just seen.
Bian Jingsheng was in excellent shape, having practiced martial arts for so many years, and his body was exceptionally strong. Even now that he had ascended the throne, Bian Jingsheng would rise before dawn every day to practice martial arts, never slacking off just because of his high position.
"I'll shampoo your hair!" Bian Jingsheng said seriously. It's not that he didn't want to, but Zhu Qing'an's body is very precious now, and Bian Jingsheng is afraid of hurting Zhu Qing'an.
Zhu Qing'an turned her back, and Bian Jingsheng was just washing her hair with the ointment. Although his movements were not very skillful, they were very gentle.
"I'm afraid you're the only emperor in the world who acts like this. You don't act like an emperor at all. You do all the trivial things by yourself!" Zhu Qing'an joked and slowly relaxed.
Bian Jingsheng washed Zhu Qingan's hair over and over again. He smiled when he heard this. "In front of you, I'm not an emperor. I'm just your husband. Isn't it normal for a husband to do these things for his wife?"
Bian Jingsheng's tone was so matter-of-fact, he never felt there was anything to be proud of doing these things.
"Jingsheng, thank you!" Zhu Qing'an said with a chuckle, thanking him for loving her and thanking him for waiting for her to fall in love with him.
After washing her hair, Bian Jingsheng personally dried Zhu Qingan's body and hair, and carefully dressed her.
Looking at Zhu Qingan's snow-white, bulging belly, Bian Jingsheng's eyes were filled with curiosity and heartache.
"Isn't it ugly?" Zhu Qing'an tucked in her clothes to cover her abdomen. She used to have a slender waist, but now her waist is as big as a bucket, without any beauty at all.
"How could that be? Your pregnancy was difficult enough. You have sacrificed so much for the child and for me. In my eyes, you look best in any look! Even if you are gray-haired in the future, you will still be my favorite look!" Bian Jingsheng comforted softly.
He knew that Zhu Qing'an was very fond of beauty, but now she became anxious and worried because of her pregnancy. He did not think that this was Zhu Qing'an's problem, but only felt that he had not given Zhu Qing'an enough sense of security.
After listening to Bian Jingsheng's words, Zhu Qingan's inferiority complex that had just risen disappeared instantly.
After the two lay down, Zhu Qing'an had no desire to sleep at all. She felt uncomfortable no matter how hard she slept, but she was afraid that tossing and turning would wake up Bian Jingsheng. After all, Bian Jingsheng had an early court tomorrow morning, and she didn't want to disturb him.
Unexpectedly, Bian Jingsheng hugged Zhu Qing'an in his arms, without any hint of sleepiness in his voice, and put Zhu Qing'an's legs on himself.
"Is this more comfortable?" Bian Jingsheng asked.
Zhu Qing'an adjusted his sleeping position, put his legs on Bian Jingsheng's legs, rested his head on Bian Jingsheng's arm, and curled up in Bian Jingsheng's arms. Suddenly, he felt much more comfortable this way.
"Yeah, much better!" Zhu Qing'an nodded.
Perhaps it was because the sleeping position was more comfortable, or perhaps it was because Bian Jingsheng had been gently patting Zhu Qingan's back, Zhu Qingan fell asleep quickly.
When Zhu Qing'an fell asleep, Bian Jingsheng was still awake. He lowered his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Qing'an, his eyes full of heartache.
"Qing'an, you have suffered!" Bian Jingsheng whispered. If possible, he would rather suffer the pain himself.
At this time, Zhu Qingan was already in a dream, with only a slight smile on his lips.
