Chapter 128 Pregnancy
Chapter 128 Pregnancy
Zhou Jingze asked the secret guard to find a restaurant to eat in. As Qiqi was still asleep, they did not stop to eat.
Qiqi and her friends entered the restaurant, ordered a few side dishes, and began to eat. Qiqi felt a little nauseous at the smell of meat. She quickly stood up, walked outside, and retched a few times. Zhou Jingze patted Qiqi on the back and quickly brought her a glass of warm water.
The shop owner's wife came out and saw Qiqi like this, and hurried over.
"Young lady, are you pregnant?" Qiqi was stunned. Her period hadn't come this month. She hadn't even noticed.
Zhou Jingze was delighted when he heard what the shop owner's wife said. He hurriedly helped Qiqi sit down.
Qiqi felt her pulse and it seemed she was pregnant, so the secret guard went to find a doctor.
The doctor arrived soon. "Doctor, my master is not feeling well. Please take a look." The secret guard shouted from outside.
Qiqi held out her wrist for the old doctor to feel her pulse. The old doctor closed his eyes and felt her pulse seriously. His serious look made Qiqi laugh.
"Congratulations, the young lady is pregnant." Zhou Jingze was even happier after hearing this. They had been married for so long and finally heard the good news.
He thanked the doctor and asked the secret guard to give the old doctor more money. He then held Qiqi's hand, happy like a child.
"Qiqi, I'm going to be a father. That's great. You've worked hard. I was wondering why you like hawthorn cake so much. I'm so stupid, why didn't I think of it!" Zhou Jingze patted his head.
Qiqi heard what the old doctor said and realized she was pregnant. Qiqi touched her belly. There was a little life growing here! Qiqi saw Zhou Jingze patting his head.
"Stop taking pictures. If you take pictures of yourself, you'll look silly. My baby will be unhappy." Qiqi joked with Zhou Jingze.
"Qiqi, I'm so excited that I don't know how to take care of you. What do you want to eat? I'll ask the guards to buy it."
At this time, the shop owner's wife brought a bowl of clear noodle soup with green choy sum and a poached egg. It was a small, fragrant bowl. There was also a small portion of pickled beans that she had made herself.
Qiqi felt hungry when she saw it, "Thank you so much, you are so thoughtful."
"Little woman, we are all going to suffer for ten months. It's nothing. See if it suits your taste."
Zhou Jingze asked the guard to take out ten taels of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper's wife. The shopkeeper's wife was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. "I won't be polite. I want to share in your happiness. I wish you a healthy baby." She said congratulatoryly.
Qiqi picked up her chopsticks. Zhou Jingze, the secret guard, and several other guards all looked at her. Qiqi quickly finished the small bowl of clear noodle soup, even drinking the soup. Zhou Jingze breathed a sigh of relief. The guards and secret guards were also happy for their master.
"Qiqi, you're eating one bowl, I'll go get you some."
"Brother Jingze, I'm full. Don't be nervous, it's just pregnancy. I'll be fine, don't worry." Qiqi said.
Zhou Jingze asked the guards to arrange accommodation for him, and he would rest for a day and leave tomorrow.
The store owner gave Qiqi and her friends the cleanest room to stay in. He also boiled water for them and let them wash up.
Zhou Jingze carefully helped Qiqi up the stairs. He went to the room and filled it with warm water for Qiqi to wash up. After Qiqi finished washing up, he closed the door and went into the space with Qiqi.
Qiqi lay down on the comfortable big bed in the medical room and fell asleep.
Zhou Jingze lay down beside Qiqi, leaning sideways to look at her little face, which was filled with a comfortable smile.
I'm going to be a father, and I'll be welcoming a new life soon. What should I prepare for them? If it's a daughter, I'll get her lots of beautiful clothes and a golden locket. If it's a son, I'll get him a small sword and teach him martial arts from a young age so he can protect his mother in the future. If he wants this kingdom, I'll help him ascend to the throne.
Zhou Jingze's mind was preoccupied with the joy of Qiqi's pregnancy. He was so happy he couldn't sleep. He tucked Qiqi in, then went out with his sword. When he reached the spiritual spring, he practiced the sword technique the man in white had taught him. Zhou Jingze was lost in thought.
At daybreak, Zhou Jingze put away his sword and walked back to the kitchen. He made millet porridge for Qiqi, heated up some steamed dumplings, fried some poached eggs, and took out the pickled vegetables prepared by his mistress. He brought them to Qiqi's bedroom.
Qiqi just woke up and is still lying in bed.
Zhou Jingze helped Qiqi put on her clothes. Qiqi still couldn't wear the clothes of this dynasty properly. Zhou Jingze knew this and always helped Qiqi.
After Qiqi finished washing up, the two of them sat down to eat.
"Brother Jingze, you are the crown prince. If your ministers knew that you prepared food for me, they would impeach me to pieces." Qiqi said.
"Qiqi, let them say whatever they want. I'll do my own thing. They won't know. We're far away from the emperor."
Qiqi smiled. She was very happy. She didn't even gag during her meal this time. Zhou Jingze would prepare this kind of meal for Qiqi whenever they came to the space. It was nutritious and not greasy.
They left the space after dinner, just as dawn broke.
Zhou Jingze opened the door to the room and saw the secret guard standing by. He quickly handed Zhou Jingze the snacks they had bought in the town. "Master, this is the hawthorn cake that you like to eat. There are other snacks as well. See if they suit your taste. We will buy more in the next town."
Zhou Jingze took it and asked them to harness the carriage and prepare to set off.
Soon their carriage set off.
Qiqi was eating hawthorn cakes in the car. The secret guard bought her a lot. Qiqi took out a few gold ingots and asked Zhou Jingze to give them to the secret guard. She couldn't let the secret guard buy her food without paying.
Zhou Jingze stood up and sat down at the carriage curtain, handing the gold ingots to the secret guard. "These two gold ingots are a reward from the host, and these are for the host to buy snacks."
The secret guard also readily accepted it. "Thank you, Prince and the host."
"Master, we have reached the South City. Should we go into the city or go around it?" the guard reported.
"Let's go into the city and eat seafood. We haven't been here in a while. Let's go eat a big meal today while we're passing through South City. Let's go to Fuxiangju," Qiqi said. The secret guard got out of the car and quickly disappeared at the city gate. He asked the owner of Fuxiangju to prepare fresh seafood. He also wanted to prepare snacks for the host.
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze had already been able to project their spiritual consciousness. Seeing the secret guards running very fast, they smiled at each other.
"Qiqi, your secret guards are very sensible and care about us. Give them a few of the elixirs they need so that they can improve their strength as quickly as possible. They will protect you well."
"Okay, Brother Jingze, I understand."
Their carriage entered the city smoothly. The streets of South City were lined with many small stalls, and Qiqi wanted to get off to take a look. Zhou Jingze asked the secret guard to stop the carriage. He got off first, then turned around and carried Qiqi down.
They walked along the street, and Qiqi bought anything she saw that looked interesting. She bought a small, delicate paper umbrella from the south. When they reached the embroidery section, she took a fancy to a fan embroidered with a little white cat. The little white cat was so lifelike and adorable.
