There were no outsiders in Yongning Palace, so the three of them got along much more casually.

When the atmosphere was good, Empress Dowager Jing mentioned Jinxiu, to the effect that what she did was her own initiative, and she had been severely punished so that nothing like this would happen again in Yongning Palace.

As Queen Mother Jing, there was no need to explain to Qin Xiaoxiao. It was just that Qin Xiaoxiao was pregnant, and it was very likely that she would have twins, which was much more dangerous than a single pregnancy.

She was worried that if she didn't explain clearly, Qin Xiaoxiao would think wildly, thinking it was her idea, and would continue to crowd around Jingheng in the future, thereby affecting the child in her belly. This was something she didn't want to see.

Qin Xiaoxiao understood Empress Dowager Jing's intention after thinking about it for a moment. She did not express her opinion, but just talked about Jingheng's attitude: "Brother Li was very angry at first, but then grandma punished Jinxiu severely, and brother Li didn't do anything about it."

I take this matter to heart.”

Seeing that she didn't care at all, Queen Mother Jing secretly thought that this girl had a big heart, so she followed her words and said: "Someone who doesn't understand the rules is really not worth taking seriously. Li'er is not a womanizer, so you don't have to worry.

He'll do whatever he wants."

Qin Xiaoxiao's heart moved, knowing that this was an indirect guarantee that she would not seduce brother Li while she was pregnant. Knowing that it was okay, she stood up and gave a blessing to Queen Mother Jing: "Thank you, grandma."

This thank you directly confirmed that she was "jealous" and showed that she did not want Jing Heng to have another woman. This was very risky. If Queen Mother Jing was displeased, she would most likely lose this honor.

But she is also unwilling to pretend to be generous and let Jingheng face all the pressure alone. If someone tries to surround Jingheng in the future, she will not hesitate to kick this "good intention" back, because everyone else will.

I know she is jealous.

"Thank you. The Ai family has said before that they will no longer interfere with your young couple's affairs." Empress Dowager Jing gently patted the back of her hand, the smile on her face not diminishing: "They are all people who have been there, your thoughts are with the Ai family.

Understand."

When Qin Xiaoxiao heard this, she suddenly remembered the gossip she had heard about her old man and the late emperor before, and she couldn't help but feel relieved: "It is a blessing for me and Brother Li to have an elder like you who understands righteousness."

Without the petty thoughts, the atmosphere in the palace became better. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were coaxing each other with words. Empress Dowager Jing laughed out loud from time to time, and she did not forget to play Five-Star Connect with them.

Qin Xiaoxiao, she had never played happily.

At noon, Qin Xiaoxiao and Princess Huguo stayed in Yongning Palace to accompany Queen Mother Jing for a meal. After serving her to sleep, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left the palace and returned to the mansion.

After waking up from a long sleep, Qin Xiaoxiao called Mingyue into the room and asked her to take his pulse.

After confirming her pregnancy, she rarely asked Mingyue to take her pulse, so she didn't know until today that she might be carrying twins.

Mingyue thought her master was feeling unwell and hurriedly brought a pulse pillow to check her pulse. After noticing the abnormality in her pulse, her face showed surprise and she became more cautious.

After a while, she suppressed her excitement and did not dare to say anything: "Madam, you may be pregnant with twins."

Qin Xiaoxiao was not surprised by this result. She took back her hand and said, "I went to the palace today. The Queen Mother ordered the imperial doctor to diagnose my pulse. She also said that I might be pregnant with twins."

When Mingyue heard this, she felt more and more that they were twins: "Madam, I will check your pulse again in a few days. I hope you will rest in the house and don't go out for the time being."

Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to go to Zhang Mansion to visit Princess Jiaming, but after hearing her reminder, she had to hold back for the time being: "Well, I know the severity. I will wait until you tell the doctor that you can go out."

Mingyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that her wife was not arrogant and willful and was willing to listen to the instructions of her slave.

As a doctor, she is well aware of the risks of having twins. During the pregnancy, not only will the mother lose a lot of vitality, but it is also easy for one fetus to be strong and the other to be weak, or for both twins to be weak.

Be very careful before clarifying the specific situation of twins. Once the fetus is not good, the mother's body is unlikely to be good either.

In the evening, Jingheng came back. While he was changing clothes, Qin Xiaoxiao told him that he might be pregnant with twins.

Jing Heng paused while untying his belt and looked at her blankly, as if he didn't react.

This stupid look made Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but raise her hand and pinch his cheek: "Are you so happy?"

Jing Heng blinked and then looked down at her belly: "Really?"

Qin Xiaoxiao said angrily: "Of course it is true, how could I make fun of the child! However, the imperial doctor is not completely sure. He will have to wait half a month to confirm, and it may not be the case."

Jingheng's expression became complicated. After taking the time to learn about the woman's fertility, he sincerely hoped that there would be no such possibility and that she would only have one child in her belly.

Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't see what he was thinking. Seeing him lowering his head and saying nothing, she just thought he was stupidly happy. He touched his belly and said to himself: "It's just fine if they are twins. If you give birth to two at once, there is no need to give birth to ten again."

Yue is pregnant."

In just three months, she has already experienced all the inconveniences brought about by pregnancy.

According to Xueya, the hardest part is the next three months. Not only will the belly be huge and the body will be out of shape, but the back pain and legs will be swollen, making it difficult to sleep. Urination will also become extremely frequent, and the belly will be bulging, making it particularly difficult to squat down.

Difficulties can only be solved by using the toilet.

Hearing this, Jing Heng felt guilty and said seriously: "Whether it is a single child or twins, I will not give birth after this one."

Qin Xiaoxiao said subconsciously: "How can this be done? If it is a single child, one child is not enough!"

Jing Heng: "..."

Realizing that this was inappropriate, Qin Xiaoxiao chuckled: "It's better to have two children, one with your surname and the other with mine."

Jing Heng himself does not take his father's surname, and has no obsession with the child's surname: "If I only have one child, just take your surname. I will convince my mother and grandmother, and you don't have to worry about them saying it."

Seeing that he was serious, Qin Xiaoxiao's idea of ​​having two children became even stronger. She looked at his handsome face and said, "Brother Li, why are you so nice to me!"

He was simply the best man she had ever seen. When she thought that she might have missed him in a single thought, she couldn't help but feel extremely lucky.

"Silly." Jing Heng grabbed her chubby face and gave her a simple yet profound comment.

It was obvious that she was the one who suffered the pain of childbirth. He just said something about feeling sorry for her and thought he was fine. Isn't he stupid for being so easy to coax?

Qin Xiaoxiao glared and slapped his hand away. She didn't like him insulting her intelligence. She never felt stupid.

Jing Heng didn't explain much. He changed out of his official uniform and took her to the dining room.

At the dinner table, Princess Protector also mentioned that Qin Xiaoxiao might be pregnant with twins, and asked Jingheng to be more alert at night. If Qin Xiaoxiao felt uncomfortable, he should immediately send someone to ask for the imperial doctor, and reminded her tactfully.

He wanted to be restrained and asked Qin Xiaoxiao not to indulge him.

The young couple understood and both blushed. In the past two months, they had become very honest. They didn't even dare to kiss too fiercely, for fear of arousing anger and unable to restrain themselves.

It's just that the two of them got married not long ago, and it was the time when the honey was mixed with the oil. It was inevitable that they would fall in love with each other, and it was very hard to endure it.

Half a month later, Mingyue has concluded that Qin Xiaoxiao is pregnant with twins. Perhaps because of her lack of experience, she has not determined the specific condition of the unborn fetus.

Until the two imperial doctors Liu and Liao followed the previous Princess Protector's instructions and came to the mansion to check Qin Xiaoxiao's pulse again.

In contrast, the two imperial doctors were much more experienced. Not only did they confirm that the twins were twins, they also diagnosed one fetus as strong and the other as weak based on the pulse, which required constant attention.

Qin Xiaoxiao and Princess Protector were very nervous and asked how to make the weak one strong.

The two imperial doctors could not give any better solution for this matter. Firstly, the medicine is three parts poisonous. It is best not to take it if possible, so as not to cause other problems; secondly, the stronger fetus can easily fight for the mother's body.

If you supplement too much nutrients, it is easy to overdo it, which is not good for the mother's body.

For now, we can only maintain the status quo and do whatever we need to do. First see if the weaker fetus can become stronger. If not, it will either be "eaten" by the stronger fetus, or it will become a stillbirth.

The two imperial doctors did not dare to speak openly about these two situations. Before leaving, they informed the Princess Protector so that she could be prepared.

Even so, Qin Xiaoxiao was worried. She touched her belly and said, "You two must be good. Don't be picky about the little one. You must also eat what your mother eats. The older one shouldn't compete with your younger brothers and sisters.

My brothers and sisters are starving. If you dare to disobey mother, when you come out later, mother will beat your little butts!"

Princess Protector came back from sending off the imperial doctor when she happened to hear these words. She wanted to laugh a little, but she was more worried, but she didn't show it. She only comforted: "The two children are very well-behaved. They have never caused anyone to worry. They are

He will grow up safely."

Qin Xiaoxiao thought for a while and asked, "Mother, I want to pay my respects to Huguo Temple and pray for the children."

She didn't know if her "threat" to her two children was of any use, so she wanted to go to the temple to burn incense. She just didn't know if she, a person who didn't usually burn incense, would be willing to bless her two children.

Princess Protector hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed: "Okay, mother will go with you in two days."

After Jingheng came back and learned about the child's situation, his heart sank. He did not object to Qin Xiaoxiao going to Huguo Temple to offer incense, and he also wanted to go.

So taking advantage of his rest, the family of three took a sedan chair to the Huguo Temple outside the city.

Huguo Temple is not very far away. After leaving the city, we walked for about an hour and arrived. The young monk at the door led us to the treasure hall.

Qin Xiaoxiao knelt devoutly in front of the Buddha statue, silently praying for the child in her belly, and did not get up for a long time. It was not until her waist became weak that she could no longer hold up, and then she got up with the help of Mingyue Qingshu.

Jingheng and Princess Huguo were still kneeling. The mother and son, who did not believe in Buddhism, also prayed to the Buddha with great piety for their unborn child.

Qin Xiaoxiao did not interrupt and stood aside quietly to wait. Even though the smell of incense in the hall was getting stronger and stronger, she couldn't bear it after staying for a while. Not only did she feel dizzy, but she also felt sick in her stomach.

I feel like vomiting.

She was afraid that she would really vomit in the palace, so she hurried out and walked until she reached the courtyard. She couldn't smell a trace of incense, and the turbulent feeling in her stomach gradually calmed down.

She didn't know how long Dao Dao and her mother-in-law had to pray for, but she didn't go in again. Accompanied by Mingyue and Qingshu, she walked slowly forward along the bluestone path. Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she unexpectedly saw Princess Jiaming walking from the opposite side.

come over.

"Auntie, you're here too!" Qin Xiaoxiao was overjoyed, quickened her pace and walked towards her, holding Princess Jiaming's hand.

The two hadn't seen each other for three months and missed each other very much. However, they were both pregnant and couldn't visit each other. Although they exchanged letters, they couldn't compare to the pleasure of seeing each other in person.

Soon she found that the tentacles were cold and slightly stiff, and then she noticed that Princess Jiaming's face was not very good. Although there was a thick smile on her face, her brows could not hide the haggardness and anxiety.

Especially when she is six or seven months old, her belly is particularly prominent, making her figure become more slender and looking a bit scary.

"Auntie, is the child bothering you or something happened?" Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but suspect that the affair between Zhang Shiren and Lan Zhi was discovered by Princess Jiaming, which made her look like this.

.

"Xiaoxiao, the child is very well-behaved and doesn't bother me. It's because I've been having nightmares frequently recently. I feel uneasy all the time, so I came here to say goodbye." Princess Jiaming explained the reason, her voice as gentle as before.

After saying that, she looked down at Qin Xiaoxiao's belly and asked with concern: "Why are you here too?"

Qin Xiaoxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and told the reason why he came to offer incense.
