Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 538: Chapter 538 He Only Felt His Hair Stand on End_1

An Jing now craved both sweets and sour food, just like before her pregnancy. Xiao Changyi added some sugar to the sour plum soup he was making. Now, the soup tasted sweet and sour, also slightly chilled, making it very delicious.

Clasping the bowl, An Jing drank it with great joy and happiness.

But—

”Husband, can it be chilled a bit more?” An Jing looked at Xiao Changyi with a pleading gaze. The sour plum soup only had a hint of chill, and she really wished it could be colder so that it would be thoroughly refreshing to drink.

”No.” Xiao Changyi might have grudgingly agreed to other things, but there was absolutely no room for negotiation when it came to An Jing’s health.

An Jing knew this, so she said nothing more and just continued to sip the slightly chilled sour plum soup while giving Xiao Changyi a pitiable look.

Xiao Changyi still wouldn’t budge an inch.

An Jing thus looked even more pitiable.

After Meng Zhuqing crushed all the ice in the small basin, she cut the fruit into small pieces, distributed them into four bowls, added the crushed ice to the bowls, and finally poured sheep’s milk over the ice.

Meng Zhuqing first handed a bowl to Xiao Changyi, then one to An Jing, followed by a bowl for Doctor Jiang, and finally, she kept the last bowl for herself.

An Jing was delighted to see Meng Zhuqing give her a bowl of fruit with sheep’s milk and crushed ice, but before she could pick up the bowl, Xiao Changyi took it away from her, leaving An Jing speechless: ”...”

Xiao Changyi transferred all the crushed ice from her bowl into his, and then handed the bowl back to her.

”Husband...” An Jing’s voice trailed off, sounding very aggrieved.

Xiao Changyi gave her a single word in response: ”Be good.”

”Cough, cough, cough, cough...” Doctor Jiang came every day and was accustomed to witnessing the affection between Xiao Changyi and An Jing, knowing that Xiao Changyi treated An Jing very well. However, just the word ”good” was enough to surprise Doctor Jiang to the point where he almost choked to death on the ice he had just put in his mouth.

The King of Eternal Victory... was really tender at this moment... giving him the creeps...

As for Meng Zhuqing, she had seen it all and knew that their master was only tender towards his wife. Therefore, she calmly continued to eat the ice in her bowl at this moment.

An Jing, however, was very happy. Her husband was tender only towards her, and she had no resistance, especially when he was affectionate. So, upon hearing Xiao Changyi telling her to be good, An Jing immediately nodded with a smile: ”Mm-hmm.”

I’ll be good.

I won’t eat ice.

Seeing Doctor Jiang suddenly coughing so intensely, she asked in confusion: ”Doctor Jiang, what’s wrong?”

Doctor Jiang quickly put down his bowl and stood up to apologize: ”I accidentally choked, my offense is inexcusable. I hope the Prince and Princess will forgive me.”

It wasn’t a big deal, so naturally, An Jing would not take it to heart.

After Doctor Jiang finished his bowl of ice, An Jing let him check her pulse.

Doctor Jiang came to check An Jing’s pulse twice daily, and her pulse remained the same, indicating a multiple pregnancy, but everything else appeared quite normal.

Considering that historically no one had borne more than two, Doctor Jiang still believed that An Jing’s constitution, which was different from others, likely caused this pulse.

An Jing felt the same.

It was only Xiao Changyi who, each time he heard Doctor Jiang mention the excess in An Jing’s pulse, would stare fixedly at her belly, which was much larger than if she were carrying twins.

However, since he had already discussed this issue with An Jing before and so much time had passed, he had come to terms with it, and he could accept it even if An Jing indeed bore several children.
