Chapter 718: Before Becoming A Father And A Son (Part 1)
"The kid isn't born yet, how can you teach him dining manners? Wait a minute, he moved. He really moved!" Helian Wei Wei was pleasantly surprised, her smile was exceptionally gentle as she asked, "Did you sense that?"
"Yes." Baili Jia Jue narrowed his eyes. Not only did he sense it, but he also felt that the kick was unusually strong...
Helian Wei Wei smiled wider and pushed him aside, before stroking her abdomen. She wondered if it was simply a false impression, but the kick just now was heavier than usual. Then, she chirped, "He's excited to see you. He's even greeting you."
Greeting me?
Baili Jia Jue, who was being pushed away, smirked wickedly. That kick was not a greeting. Instead, he was sure that the thing was challenging him.
Heh, good, very good...
Helian Wei Wei, who was drowned in joy, did not notice the meaningful stare from His Highness.
However, the number of palaces maids serving her had evidently increased when they returned to Jiuchong Hall.
The Retired Emperor even let Eunuch Sun select a few experienced female physicians to serve Helian Wei Wei.
The identities of these two female physicians were verified repeatedly to avoid any evil trickeries.
The Imperial Kitchen also received the order to cook whatever the Third Prince Consort wanted to eat. No matter how late it would be at night, someone must be ready in the kitchen.
This was the most practical practice for Helian Wei Wei. Although there were strawberries in the Fantasy Space for her to replenish energy and reduce the sense of hunger...
As a human, Helian Wei Wei preferred normal food such as whole grains. However, the food did not seem to effectively satisfy the baby's hunger.
The Imperial Infirmary assigned three imperial physicians for Helian Wei Wei's meals. One of them was Imperial Physician Liu.
Imperial Physician Liu had felt Helian Wei Wei's pulse at the beginning. However, he felt that the pulse was indescribably strange during the second examination. He was sure that she was pregnant, but when he put the bamboo stethoscope on Helian Wei Wei's abdomen through the layered mantle, loud firework-like noises thundered through the tool.
Imperial Physician Liu was so frightened that he lost control of his strength and flung bamboo stethoscope away.
Baili Jia Jue, who was sitting next to her, narrowed his eyes and put down the cup in his hand.
"Why? What happened?" The rest of the imperial physicians had a bigger reaction. After all, they were responsible for Third Princess Consort's safety now.
Even though they could not tell whether it was a boy or a girl...
If the fetus in Third Princess Consort's tummy was a boy, he would be the first great-grandson of the War Dragon Dynasty!
Now, the most precious child in the whole world was the one in the Third Princess Consort's abdomen.
There must not be a sliver of mistake.
Helian Wei Wei, who was sitting behind the curtains, also raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
Imperial Physician Liu shook his head and mumbled in his heart. Why are there spark noises? This is unusual. There's nothing wrong with the pulse and the fetus is very healthy too. So, what's the problem? Was that just an illusion?
"Imperial Physician Liu?" Imperial Physician Zhang, who was the nearest to Imperial Physician Liu, slightly pushed him when he saw his silence.
Suddenly, Imperial Physician Liu regained his senses. However, his eyes immediately met with Baili Jia Jue's cold gaze.
"I don't know what's wrong with me that I'm having tinnitus recently." Imperial Physician Liu began to doubt his health, saying, "Let's leave the auscultation for Imperial Physical Liu."
A golden ray flashed through Baili Jia Jue's eyes when he saw the sweat on Imperial Physician Liu's forehead.
Helian Wei Wei also noticed that there was something wrong.
Thus, she stroked her underbelly, trying to feel it.
Imperial Physician Liu picked up the bamboo stethoscope from the ground and was about to lean over and listen...
A crunch was suddenly heard. A huge crack had suddenly appeared at the end of the bamboo stethoscope.
The bamboo stethoscope was obviously broken and could not be used anymore.
Imperial Physician Liu realized that was the problem, so he muttered to himself, "So, the bamboo stethoscope was actually broken, I thought that..." It seemed he was too old, making so much fuss over nothing.
"Princess Consort, it's fine. The bamboo stethoscope is broken. The pulse indicates that everything is fine. However, you have to eat more food that is warm in nature. You can't eat crabs and shrimps anymore. Also, you need to eat less cold-natured fruits," Imperial Physician Zhang reported respectfully without any neglect.
Helian Wei Wei responded with a light smile but her eyesight suddenly darkened.
Imperial Physician Liu's reaction just now did not seem to be as simple as a broken bamboo stethoscope.
Conversely, he looked like he had heard something bizarre and was so frightened that he lost his grip.
Furthermore, the people from Imperial Infirmary had practiced medicine for many years. It was impossible for them to make mistakes with medical devices and brought a broken bamboo stethoscope here, unless the bamboo stethoscope broke just now.
However, it was such a coincidence that it broke when it was put near her abdomen...
Could it be that...
"It's you, right?" Helian Wei Wei sighed and caressed her abdomen. She helplessly smiled at it with affection, saying, "You're too naughty. You've scared Imperial Physician Liu!"
She had known earlier that her baby was different from the others.
Hence, she did not find it weird that this phenomenon happened.
Instead, her head began to ache as she wondered who could control this little kid when it was born.
You're really very naughty!
"If you keep being so mischievous, you won't get any spiritual strawberries tonight."
As though the fetus felt wronged, it rumbled a little. Helian Wei Wei sensed it, and shook her head with a faint smile. Then, she lectured it, "I know that you dislike it when someone touches you. I won't let them use the bamboo stethoscope anymore. However, you have to behave, okay? Don't simply scare people out anymore."
It was said that the mother and her child's hearts were deeply connected. Even if the child was not born yet, the child could sense what Helian Wei Wei was talking about.
In order to show that he was well-behaved...
Soon, the movements in Helian Wei Wei's abdomen stopped.
It seemed that it had fallen asleep after doing something naughty.
Although Helian Wei Wei had forgiven it, His Highness would not do the same.
After sending the imperial physicians away, Baili Jia Jue paced toward the curtain. He reached out his hand and waved, sending the palace maids away as well. Then, he opened the curtain and raised his eyebrows as he stared at Helian Wei Wei's abdomen.
Helian Wei Wei was yawning, she was a bit drowsy as she was evidently feeling sleepy.
It seemed that her pregnancy had made her lazier than before. She leaned at the head of the bed languidly as her long, smooth hair scattered on her pure white undergarments, making her skin look brighter and fairer. When she seemed sleepy and her eyes were blurry, her beauty was especially breath-taking.
Baili Jia Jue merely looked down and carried her up. As the layers of curtains automatically closed behind him, the scene seemed extremely beautiful and luxurious...
