Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 659: The Secret Chamber of the Imperial Study (2)

Seeing her lie down again, he leaned over and playfully teased her nose. "In my eyes, my wife is the most beautiful in the world."

She pushed the annoying hand away, glared at him with anger, and her face flushed with shyness, "Then you... just now..."

"Fool, you already have a baby, and it’s been over a month."

Feng Xuxu looked at him dumbly, recalling that since she left Xueyan Country, she hadn’t had her period. She thought it was due to insufficient rest and the back and forth travel that had caused hormonal imbalance, never expecting that she was pregnant. She touched her flat belly, feeling incredible that a new life was growing inside her. Thinking back to when she was pregnant with Qiqi and Yueyue, she had suffered from vomiting right from the early stages, and the symptoms were very obvious. But why was there none this time? Instead, she could eat and sleep well.

"My lord, how come I don’t have any symptoms? I remember that I used to feel sick just by eating fish, but now I’ve even grown to like fish. Could you have made a mistake?" she asked skeptically, slowly sitting up.

"Who am I? How could I possibly make a mistake?" he said, rolling his eyes and continued, "Each pregnancy is different. Didn’t you learn that over there?"

Feng Xuxu gave him a look, "Back then, I was still a bachelorette. In both my past and current life, you are the only man I’ve known. Where would I go to learn about that? Or should I experiment with someone else and come back to tell you the results?"

"If you dare, there’s no need for experiments. I know it’s correct," he said, giving a slight glare at the woman in his arms. She dared to talk about experimenting with someone else right in front of him. He resolved that she would never leave his side again, not even half a step, to avoid her being charmed away by some brazen people.

With a rumble in her stomach, Feng Xuxu looked up pitifully at the one who had pressed her into his embrace, and said in a soft voice, "I’m hungry."

"Wait for a moment, the meal will be ready soon." He put her down, pulled off the blanket and got out of bed wearing his thin robe.

Feng Xuxu watched him leave and let out a yawn, following him out of bed. Before she had finished dressing, he returned. She looked at him in surprise. "That was fast, is it ready?"

"Yep, I had already started stewing the medicinal meal last night, and it has been simmering on the stove ever since." He took the remaining clothes in her hand and gently helped her dress.

After they both washed up, they walked out of the bedroom together. Seeing the breakfast prepared in the side hall, Feng Xuxu let go of his hand and reached out to grab a crystal shrimp dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth. While chewing, she nodded and mumbled with her mouth full, "Our cook’s food is still the best."

"If you like it, eat more." He watched her eat with a contented look and smiled as he served her a bowl of medicated porridge.

Feng Xuxu smelled the medicinal aroma of the porridge and frowned at him, "I’m perfectly healthy, why do I need to eat this stuff?"

"You can choose not to eat the medicated meal. Instead, I’ll prescribe some bitter pregnancy-preserving medicine for you."

Feng Xuxu pouted, took the bowl of porridge, and took a reluctant sip. Although the smell was unpleasant, it didn’t have a bitter taste. Overall, she found the medicated porridge more bearable than the bitter traditional medicine.

He tapped her and chuckled, "How is it? Otherwise, starting from noon, you’ll have to drink pregnancy-preserving medicine three times a day for at least two more months."

"No, I’ll reluctantly accept... this porridge," she said, making a face even more bitter than someone who had taken medicine. Considering the prospect of drinking it for two months, she concluded that eating the porridge was the better option and quickly made her choice.
