Chapter 408 Morning Sickness 1
Ye Jintang looked at Xiao Mo with a half-smile, and continued, "As for when we can have meat, that depends on my mood."
"I asked the doctor, and he said that I can have sex after four or five months."
"But I don't want to."
Ye Jintang, who was in a bad mood, turned his face away and ignored Xiao Mo.
Now Xiao Mo couldn't sit still anymore.
Xiao Mo was making plans, but he didn't expect Ye Jintang to be unwilling.
But she was angry at the moment, and Xiao Mo didn't dare to say anything more. He thought of the trick of boiling a frog in warm water. As long as he took his time, he believed that she would not take the bait.
"Okay, then I'll be a monk for a year. As long as you are happy, that's all."
"Humph."
Seeing Xiao Mo being so humble, Ye Jintang still felt unhappy. If he hadn't been so diligent, she wouldn't have been able to get pregnant so quickly even if she didn't take contraceptive pills.
In the end it was all Xiao Mo's fault.
The news of Ye Jintang's pregnancy did not spread. Xiao Mo sternly warned everyone who knew about it that no one could leak a single word. If he found out that anyone spread the news, he would show no mercy no matter who it was.
"Why are you scaring the people in my yard?"
"I'm doing this for your safety. The people serving you are all very reliable, but it's hard to say about the people outside."
"There must be spies of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui in Ningchuan City. I don't want her to know the news too early."
Hearing this, Ye Jintang nodded slightly.
If Imperial Noble Consort Dehui knew the news of her pregnancy, she probably would not remain indifferent.
The illusion that Xiao Mo gave to Imperial Noble Consort Dehui was that he was disabled and would never be able to stand up, nor could he have children.
It was precisely because of these two illusions that she agreed to let them leave the capital. If she found out that she had been deceived, she didn't know how to retaliate against them.
Instead of causing trouble for themselves, it is better to suppress the hidden dangers early so that they can live a few days of peace.
"I will be careful and won't let anyone know."
"Jintang, give me some time. Before the baby is born, I will make sure you live a stable life and no longer be controlled by anyone."
Looking at Xiao Mo's serious expression, Ye Jintang showed a faint smile on his face.
"You don't have to be so harsh."
Xiao Mo's words sounded simple, but it was not easy to do. Ningchuan City was under his control, but the entire Ningchuan Province was not.
It was not easy for him to completely control Ningchuan Prefecture within a year and make Consort Dehui helpless against him.
"For you and the child, I will clear away all the thorns on the road ahead. I will not let you and the child suffer any injustice."
Xiao Mo's love words were always so serious, but Ye Jintang felt very warm listening to them.
Logically speaking, after the New Year, it should get warmer day by day.
But there seemed to be no signs of warming up in Ningchuan City. A snowstorm hit shortly after the end of the first month of the lunar year, and light snow fell from time to time in the following days.
Ye Jintang, who had been staying indoors because of her pregnancy, looked out the window at the howling north wind and couldn't help saying, "Ningchuan City's winter is really long. It's already March and there are still snowflakes."
"I heard from the locals that the weather will warm up in a few days, and then you can walk around and get some fresh air."
Nanny Zhang knew that Ye Jintang hadn't been out for some time and must be feeling depressed.
"I also want to follow the prince to take a look outside the city. If the weather warms up too late, I'm afraid my pregnancy will show, and it will be inconvenient for me to go out."
"Your Majesty, you still have to take care of yourself. Even if the weather warms up, you should not go out of the city with the prince. You have to take a carriage to go out of the city, and the official road outside the city is extremely bumpy. If something goes wrong, it will be more trouble than gain."
"It's just a pregnancy. If the baby can be shaken away by a carriage, then it means that the baby is not healthy."
Ye Jintang herself is a doctor. She knows very well that women need to be careful during the first three months of pregnancy, but they shouldn't be so fragile that the baby would be lost if riding in a carriage.
"The queen is pregnant with twins, so we should be more careful about everything."
"Well, I'll pay attention when I get out."
When Aunt Zhang heard Ye Jintang say this, she was speechless and looked up to the sky. Her master was really stubborn.
The two were chatting when Luzhu brought in a bowl of fish head soup.
"My queen, the fish head soup is ready. It's just the right temperature now. Would you like to try it?"
Luzhu put the fish head soup on the small table in front of Ye Jintang. As soon as she opened the lid of the soup bowl, Ye Jintang felt a fishy smell rushing into her nostrils.
The fishy smell was so overbearing that Ye Jintang's stomach churned and he couldn't help vomiting.
Her reaction was so dramatic that Luzhu and Aunt Zhang were scared to death.
I was fine when I drank the fish head soup yesterday, why did I vomit like this today?
Nanny Zhang stepped forward and gently patted Ye Jintang's back.
"My lady, are you feeling better?"
Ye Jintang didn't say anything, just waved his hand, took the tea bowl handed to him by Luzhu, rinsed his mouth and then spoke.
"What's going on? I've been pregnant for more than two months, almost three months. Why did I suddenly start to have morning sickness? Didn't they say that I wouldn't vomit after three months?"
Ye Jintang couldn't help complaining while wiping his mouth.
Ever since she knew she was pregnant, she had been able to eat and drink, and she just thought she wouldn't have morning sickness. At the time, she secretly rejoiced, feeling lucky that she didn't have so many morning sickness reactions. Now it seems that she was too happy too early.
"There are all kinds of symptoms during pregnancy. Each person's body constitution is different, and the symptoms are slightly different. Madam, please bear with it for the next few days. After three months, the various symptoms will be much less severe."
When Nanny Zhang saw that Ye Jintang’s face had turned pale from vomiting, she hurried to comfort her.
"Well, Luzhu, take the fish head soup away quickly. I don't want to see any fish in the next two days."
Whenever Ye Jintang thought of fish, he would feel uncomfortable in his stomach.
"Are you still going to make the pickled fish for lunch today?"
"No, I just want to eat something light today. I don't want to make anything greasy or spicy."
"Yes, I will make arrangements now."
Ye Jintang never expected that after she became pregnant, her appetite would change like the weather in June.
She only ate light food for a few days, and then began to like heavy-flavored dishes again. Her favorites were fried silkworm pupae and maoxuewang. These two dishes appeared on her table for almost three meals a day.
There was almost no shortage of various barbecues, and her appetite was increasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, morning sickness became more and more severe. Almost everything she ate every day would go around in her stomach and would be vomited out after a short while.
Eating and vomiting, then eating and vomiting, is really a torture.
In just a few days, Ye Jintang was exhausted and almost collapsed.
"Xiao Mo, you bastard, this is all your fault. I'm going to vomit like crazy."
Not long after lunch, Ye Jintang vomited violently again, and all the stomach acid came out.
Xiao Mo, who was standing aside, felt heartbroken when he saw Ye Jintang in so much pain.
He had only heard of pregnant women experiencing morning sickness before, but he never expected that they would vomit so severely.
"It's all my fault, Jintang, drink some water and rinse your mouth."
Xiao Mo handed the cup of water to Ye Jintang, but she threw it to the ground and broke it into pieces.
