She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Chapter 553 Daughter's Mischief

"What's wrong?" Shangguan Ziqi asked softly when he saw her stunned.

"These few days happen to be the fertile period."

Shangguan Ziqi was also stunned when she heard this: "It can't be such a coincidence that she got pregnant in one try."

"Forget it, let's just take things as they come." Yu Yuanzheng shrugged.

If you are pregnant, just give birth to it.

I can only pray in my heart that it won’t be the third child again.

That was so thrilling.

What the two men didn't know was that their daughter was secretly happy.

Over the past month, Yu Yuanzheng not only taught Shangguan Yajing some basics, but also taught her how to identify medicinal herbs.

In order to provide medical treatment to the soldiers on board at any time, there is also a pharmacy on board, which has most of the commonly used medicines. It can be used as a teaching material.

One day, Yu Yuanzheng took out more than a dozen medicinal herbs to teach her daughter how to recognize them.

"This herb is called musk. Its main effects include awakening the mind, promoting blood circulation and menstruation, reducing swelling and relieving pain, calming the mind, and regulating qi and strengthening the body. The blood circulation and menstruation effects are most suitable for women, but there is a major contraindication: pregnant women are forbidden to use it, as it will cause miscarriage. However, most women will not get pregnant during this period."

The reason why Yu Yuan explained this effect so clearly was mainly to let his daughter know some of the methods of the inner house.

Just use this medicine.

When Yu Yuanzheng finished explaining its medicinal effects, she remembered it.

Then I picked it up and smelled it.

The smell is very strong and fishy.

But one day, Shangguan Yajing smelled the scent of this medicine in Yu Yuanzheng's room. Although it was very faint, her little nose was very sensitive.

Then she sneaked into her parents' room while Yu Yuanzheng was away, and found three bottles of medicine, one of which was half taken.

She poured out a pill and put it to her nose, and immediately smelled the musk in it.

Although there were other ingredients she was not familiar with, the musky scent was too much for her to forget.

Back in her room, she thought carefully and came to a conclusion.

It turned out that their mother hadn't given birth to a sibling for the three of them for so many years because she had been taking medicine all the time.

How could that be possible? She hated being the youngest the most.

She was born on the same night as her two brothers, so why is she the youngest?

She also wants to have a younger brother or sister to tease her. She doesn't want to be the youngest forever.

With this idea in mind, Shangguan Yajing once again sneaked into Yu Yuanzheng's room and stole all the bottles of medicine.

And it was too easy for her to avoid the two maids.

So no one knew it was her who did it.

This morning, while her mother was looking for medicine, she pretended to be practicing sword outside, but in fact, she was always paying attention to her parents' reactions.

Seeing that they didn't react much, she put away her sword and returned to her room.

That night she quietly poured the three bottles of medicine into the sea.

Days at sea are spent watching the sunrise and sunset, and feeling the sea breeze.

Yu Yuanzheng is in good health, and she is only 28 years old, which is the prime of her youth.

The next month, when my period was supposed to come, it didn't.

Three days have passed.

Sometimes she would stagger her schedule by two or three days.

She took her own pulse, but it was so early in the morning that she couldn't tell from the pulse.

She said nothing.

After waiting for another six or seven days, her period still didn't come. She felt her pulse again and found that it was very obvious.

Shangguan Ziqi looked at his wife who had put down her hands and asked, "How is it?"

"I'm really pregnant." Yu Yuanzheng said the result calmly.

Husband and wife, you look at me and I look at you.

"Our bodies are so good that we got pregnant just by not avoiding it once." Yu Yuanzheng spread her hands.

"Madam, thank you for your hard work again." Shangguan Ziqi gently held her in his arms.

If he didn't feel sorry for his wife's hardship during pregnancy, he would of course want to have more children from the bottom of his heart, as it's not like he can't afford to raise them.

"Can you figure out how many there are?" This is what Shangguan Ziqi is most worried about.

If it's just one, it's not that hard. But if there are three, I don't know how the lady will get through the next nine months.

He still remembers clearly what happened when he was with the three of them, Changyu.

"It's only been a few days, I can't feel it. It will take some time before I can feel it, but I can only judge one or two or more differences. I don't have the ability to tell how many there are. Even when Dabao was born, the imperial physician couldn't tell accurately."

"Madam..." Shangguan Ziqi didn't know what to say. "I only have one hope. I don't want you to suffer as much as you did when you were pregnant with Changyu and the others."

He gently touched his wife's belly.

"I hope so." Yu Yuanzheng was also afraid that three more would come.

"There's nothing good to eat on this boat, so you'll have to endure it for a while." Shangguan Ziqi hugged him tighter with a distressed look on his face.

"It's okay, she's still small. We'll be able to reach Dawei in a month and a half at most. By then, she'll be exactly three months old and the fetus will be firmly seated."

The news that Yu Yuanzheng was pregnant again quickly spread throughout the main ship.

Shangguan Yajing was the first to rush in.

"Mother, am I really going to have a brother or sister? Is it a brother or a sister?"

Shangguan Yajing fluttered to Yu Yuanzheng like a happy little bird, and her little hands carefully stroked her mother's belly, which was not yet pregnant, her eyes shining brightly.

Yu Yuanzheng smiled and pinched her daughter's face: "We just got pregnant, how can we know whether it's a boy or a girl so soon? We have to wait until the baby is born to find out."

Shangguan Changyu and Shangguan Changrui also rushed in quickly, with smiles on their faces.

Chang Rui coughed lightly and said in a mature manner, "Mother, please take good care of yourself this time. Don't work so hard like you did when you were pregnant with us."

Their grandmother had told them about the past, and they all knew how hard their mother had worked at that time.

"That's right," Chang Yu took over the conversation, his eyes filled with excitement. "If it's the third child again, I'm afraid Father will have to make Mother a deity."

Shangguan Ziqi heard this and glared at his eldest son in feigned anger. "What are you talking about? Your mother went through so much hardship when she was pregnant with you. You'd better hope that your mother is only pregnant with one child. Don't be like you three, insisting on having all three at once."

There were hurried footsteps outside the cabin door, and the old prince and princess came in together.

The old princess's face was filled with a smile as bright as spring breeze. As soon as she entered the room, she went straight to Yu Yuanzheng: "Zheng'er, you are pregnant again, is it true?"

"Mother, judging by my pulse, it's true, and my period has been overdue for about ten days."

"That's great. You have to be more careful in the future and don't move around casually." The old princess sat next to Yu Yuanzheng, holding her hand and said with concern.

Although the old prince was arrogant, his eyes were full of joy. He patted his son's shoulder and said, "Our Shangguan family is going to have another baby."

The old prince was very satisfied with the daughter-in-law his son married.

It is really the blessing of their ancestors that the Shangguan family has such good fortune.

Shangguan Ziqi just smiled foolishly and nodded.

"Zheng'er, will it be the third child again?" the old princess asked with some concern.

Hearing this, the old prince raised his eyebrows even higher, and was obviously excited.

If the daughter-in-law gets pregnant with her third child, it means that the Shangguan family’s ancestral tomb is buried in too great a place.
