Chapter 219 Liuli has
So she wanted to release a lotus lantern! Xia Chunyu smiled slightly. Women like to do this kind of romantic thing, writing their daughters' thoughts on it, letting it drift along the water, and praying to the river god to bless them to make their wishes come true.

"Write one too." Ye Jiayao handed him a lotus lantern.

Xia Chunyu whispered, "I've never seen a man release a lotus lantern. This is a toy for women."

Ye Jiayao pouted: "Write if you want."

He picked up a pen to write his wish, and Xia Chunyu curiously went over to take a look.

"Don't look at it. It won't work if you look at it." Ye Jiayao covered it with her hand to prevent him from looking.

"Stingy." Xia Chunyu rolled his eyes and picked up the pen. What should he write? After thinking for a while, he wrote on the paper...Give birth to a fat son as soon as possible.

After writing, I felt happy. I rolled up the paper and put it into the wick.

Ye Jiayao had also finished writing. The two of them went down to the dock together and put the lotus lanterns into the water. Looking at the two lotus lanterns leaning against each other and floating away with the water, Ye Jiayao couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. It seemed like a good omen!
Last time she wrote, "I want to make a lot of money," and she actually did make a lot of money. This time she wrote, "We will be together for the rest of our lives," and she hoped she could really grow old with him.

"What did you write?" Ye Jiayao couldn't help asking him out of curiosity.

Xia Chunyu raised his eyebrows arrogantly: "Didn't you say that it wouldn't work if I told you?"

Tch... Ye Jiayao glared at him and said, "Forget it."

When he returned to the mansion, he saw Steward Zhong bringing the imperial physician. Xia Chunyu asked nervously, "Who is sick?"

Steward Zhong replied, "It was the Third Young Madam. She suddenly vomited, and the Madam asked for the imperial physician."

Vomited? Xia Chunyu was startled. Could she be pregnant? It seemed that when his sister-in-law was pregnant, she also vomited a lot.

Ye Jiayao thought the same thing as him: "I'll go see her."

You and Qiao were waiting outside, and Xia Chunfeng paced back and forth nervously.

"Can you please stop moving around? It's making me dizzy." Yu said with a smile, full of expectation and joy. All the symptoms seemed similar, but she didn't expect that the second son's wife came home first, but Liuli had the good news first.

Xia Chunfeng sat down, then stood up again. This feeling was very strange, a little excited, a little worried, and a little unrealistic, like a dream. Mother said it might be a good thing, but was it really a good thing? Was he going to be a father?

Mrs. Qiao was in a complicated mood. Niuniu was already three years old, but she had been silent since then. Now, Chunli doted on Cuiyan and seldom came to her room. She was so angry that she wanted to die.

Ye Jiayao came in and asked worriedly, "Mother, is my third sister-in-law okay?"

Yu Shi smiled and said, "We'll know whether it's okay or not in a moment."

Ye Jiayao sat down and waited for news.

Not long after, the imperial physician came out, smiling, and bowed, "Congratulations to the Madam and the Third Young Master."

Yu's eyebrows were bright with joy: "So, it's true that she is pregnant?"

The imperial physician said, "Indeed, she is pregnant. She is almost two months pregnant. However, the princess is a little weak and needs to be nursed back to health."

"That's right, please give me a prescription, and explain in detail how to take care of it, so that we can follow it."

Xia Chunfeng couldn't hold back any longer and went in to see Liuli first.

Yu personally watched the imperial physician write the prescription, asked very careful questions, and wrote down everything.

After sending the imperial physician away, Youshi went to see Liuli again. Liuli looked a little pale, but she was still very happy knowing that she was pregnant.

"These first three months are the most important. You must rest well. Just tell me what you want to eat. Or, I will invite a royal chef tomorrow and you can cook in your small kitchen. Oh, by the way, Chunfeng, from now on, you will move to the study." Yu said.

Chunfeng looked reluctant and puzzled: "Why?"

You Shi frowned: "Just go when I tell you to go, what's there to ask?"

Liuli blushed, and her shy look made me feel pity for her.

After coming out of the Liuli House, Youshi kept her mouth shut: "I have to go burn some incense to our ancestors and pray for them to protect Liuli and give the Xia family a big fat grandson."

"You two should also hurry up. Liuli came in the latest, but there is good news. Mingxiu, you should also come up with some rules and don't let Chunli do everything. Jinxuan, you too, put aside the business matters outside. Having a baby is the top priority." Yu turned her head and reminded them, hoping that the two daughters-in-law would have good news as soon as possible. The Marquis' Mansion now lacks everything except people.

Ye Jiayao and Qiao looked at each other.

Hurry up, how can you hurry up with this? Put aside the business? Do you want her to do that all day long? Chunyu doesn't have to go on business?
It's helpless. The elders attach great importance to having a baby, especially in ancient times.

Once back in the house, Ye Jiayao sat there sighing. Xia Chunyu came out of the study and saw her like this. He sneered and said, "What's wrong? Is Liuli okay?"

"She's pregnant." Ye Jiayao was unhappy.

Xia Chunyu secretly sighed. He didn't expect that he lost to his third brother in this matter. He felt depressed when he thought that his own children would have to call his third brother's children brother or sister in the future!

"It's okay, it's okay, can't we just hurry up?" Xia Chunyu consoled with a smile. Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes at him feebly, "It's not hurrying up enough, how can we hurry up?"

She could hardly bear it anymore. If she held on any tighter, she would probably lose her life!

Xia Chunyu smiled and said, "Of course you have to work hard!"

But I was thinking that I should ask a doctor to see her tomorrow and give her some treatment.

Ye Jiayao really wanted to faint.

That night, Xia Chunyu worked particularly hard, and even in the middle of winter, he made her sweat.

"I can't take it anymore. Please spare me. I can't take it anymore." Ye Jiayao begged in a soft voice like a cat.

However, Ye Jiayao was aware that if she argued with him in bed, she would always be the one who suffered in the end.

He hesitated and said, "My stomach hurts."

Xia Chunyu was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something: "Yaoyao, when did you come last month?"

Ye Jiayao thought for a moment: "Eleven, twelve, or thirteen? Anyway, it's just these few days."

"I remember you were here at 11am when you were in the mountain." Xia Chunyu said.

They were both stunned. It’s already sixteen today and he hasn’t come yet, right?
Xia Chunyu immediately turned over and let her lie down. He gently rubbed her stomach and asked worriedly, "Does your stomach hurt? How does it hurt?"

When thinking of that possibility, Xia Chunyu really wanted to hit his head. He hoped that Meng Lang's behavior tonight would lead to any bad consequences, otherwise he would have no place to cry.

Seeing how nervous he was, Ye Jiayao also became nervous. She wasn't sure whether it was because her period was not on time or if she was really pregnant.

"I...I can't really explain it, it just hurts a little bit."

"Do you have any other adverse reactions? For example, nausea or drowsiness?" Xia Chunyu racked his brains, recalling the little knowledge he had on the subject.

"I was sleepy on the boat, but I felt better when I got home," said Ye Jiayao.

Xia Chunyu's face turned pale. He stood up and put on his clothes, and said anxiously, "No, I'll go find a doctor to take a look."

Ye Jiayao hurriedly pulled him back: "It's so late now, aren't you afraid of alarming everyone?"

If people knew that her physical discomfort was caused by excessive indulgence in sex, they would be laughed at.

"What should we do then?" Xia Chunyu was really a little panicked.

"It's no big deal. I'm much better now." Ye Jiayao comforted.

Xia Chunyu then lay back down, hugged her, and rubbed her belly: "I must ask a doctor to check it out tomorrow."

"No, there's no way around it. What if I make a mistake? That would be so embarrassing. I don't want to be laughed at." Ye Jiayao shook her head firmly.

"Wait a few more days. If it doesn't come, then she's pregnant." Ye Jiayao said. She never had such a strong desire before, and having a child was a natural thing. But tonight, when she found out that Liuli was pregnant, she suddenly wanted a child too.

She decided to go out and see a doctor herself tomorrow.

The next morning, Youshi entered the palace. A large team accompanied her, including imperial doctors, imperial chefs, and several maids from the palace, all of whom were sent by the empress dowager to serve Liuli.

Everyone in the mansion was in high spirits, even the old marquis was laughing and patting Chunfeng on the back, praising his ability, almost making Chunfeng vomit blood.

Ye Jiayao went to Tianshangju, where there was nothing going on. The pastry shop's business was doing OK, with Jiang Yue and Zhong Xiang taking care of it. She had nothing to worry about, so she took Qiao Xi to Renhetang, the most famous restaurant in Jinling.

The old Chinese doctor closed his eyes, stroked his beard and took the patient's pulse carefully. After a long time, he opened his eyes.

"Doctor, what's wrong?" Ye Jiayao looked at the doctor nervously.

The doctor said, "Madam, you have cold accumulation in your body, and your qi and blood are not in harmony. You must have been stimulated and need to be properly adjusted. I will prescribe a prescription for you. Come back for a diagnosis next month."

Ye Jiayao was disappointed. If she was pregnant, such a famous old doctor would have been able to diagnose it. Now the doctor didn't mention it at all, so she must not be pregnant. Could it be that the cold air was accumulated because she fell into Yanxia Lake last time and floated in the lake for a night?

Qiao Xi couldn't help but ask, "Could she be pregnant?"

The doctor stroked his beard again and said slowly, "It is not possible to diagnose it yet. If what you said is true, your period last month came around the 13th. It will take another half a month before we can diagnose it based on the pulse."

Ye Jiayao's hope, which had just been extinguished, was rekindled. This means that it is still possible.

The doctor wrote a prescription for Ye Jiayao: "These medicines I prescribed can be taken even if you are pregnant. They are warm and nourishing, neutralize and regulate qi, and are good for your body."
