Chapter 382 Hip
Why are you so keen on letting him sleep in the study? Does he look so untrustworthy?
Xie Guimo would not agree to the fact that the wife he finally married would not allow him to eat or hug her.
He went straight back to the room. Chen Qi knew that the prince would not sleep in the study, but Ginkgo handed the bedding to him, and he didn't dare to refuse. If he made Ginkgo unhappy, he wouldn't know how to coax him to sleep.
Chen Qi went out with Xie Guimo carrying the bedding and pillow, and then brought them back to Ginkgo.
Shen Tang took a hot bath and lay down. Seeing Xie Guimo coming back, Shen Tang chased him away with a look, "Mother asked you to sleep in the study."
Xie Guimo pinched her nose and said, "You know I won't listen to Mother's arrangements, but you still do this."
Shen Tang touched his bulging belly and said, "But it's really inconvenient..."
Although it's only six months old, his belly is bigger than that of an eight-month-old baby. He can't have sex for the next three months. If the princess hadn't been worried, she wouldn't have let him move into the study.
The next three months were even more dangerous than the first three months. If anything went wrong, she didn't dare to think about whether she could bear it.
Xie Guimo put his hand on her belly and could feel the little person in her belly kicking him. The feeling was magical. He even couldn't wait to give birth to the child so that he could see what it looked like.
He felt it for a long time, then his hand became dishonest and reached into her clothes. Shen Tang glared at him. He turned sideways, bit her earlobe and said, "Today is the last time. The next time will have to wait until the baby is a full month old..."
Shen Tang calculated in his heart that it would be four months later. Even though he was a little tired, he couldn't bear to refuse again.
The night is lingering.
……
The next day, Shen Tang woke up and when he moved, he felt a cracking sound in his hips. It was just a sound, as it had happened before, but this time it was particularly painful.
He was so gentle last night, no different from before, so why does it hurt today?
Shen Tang guessed that it was because she went to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion yesterday and walked around the streets for half a day. She walked too much. She was pregnant and needed to walk, but she couldn't walk too much.
Shen Tang thought that the pain would subside after a while, but it didn't. Instead, it became more and more severe.
It was so severe that she could only sit on the small couch for a while, and she couldn't stand up due to the pain. Ginkgo quickly helped her up and asked, "What happened to the Crown Princess?"
Shen Tang said, "My hips hurt a little..."
Ginkgo was even more confused about what Shen Tang didn't understand. She was so frightened that she quickly called Qiu Tong, "Quickly call the imperial physician."
Qiu Tong quickly ran out to pass on the message. Xie Guimo was reading in the study. When he heard Shen Tang wanted to call the imperial physician, he came back and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Tang said, "It's just that my hip hurts, the child is fine..."
Xie Guimo helped her lie down on the bed, "When did the pain start?"
"I woke up with a little pain the day before yesterday morning, and I thought I could just bear with it."
Xie Guimo said, "It hurts, why don't you call a doctor?"
She also wanted to, but it would be so embarrassing if the doctor said it was caused by sexual intercourse.
Xie Guimo knew what Shen Tang was worried about and regretted asking for it that day, but it was no use regretting it now.
Shen Tang asked the imperial physician for help, which was no small matter. When the princess heard about it, she hurried to Chenxiangxuan. When she heard that Xie Guimo was in pain in his hip, she glared at him and scolded him without saying a word. Xie Guimo didn't dare to talk back. After the princess finished scolding, the imperial physician arrived.
The princess asked, "Doctor, please take a look. Are the adults and children okay?"
The imperial physician sat down and took Shen Tang's pulse. Since Shen Tang became pregnant, she would check her pulse every two weeks. The imperial physician said, "The pulse is fine, the fetus is doing well."
Xie Guimo said, "Are you sure you're okay? My hip has been hurting for several days."
The imperial physician said, "The Crown Princess's hip pain is probably due to the rapid growth of the fetus in her womb, which is causing pressure. Another possibility is that the child's bones are growing, and the Crown Princess's usual diet is not providing enough nutrients, which are being absorbed from the mother."
Not enough nutrition...
The princess couldn't believe her ears.
The Crown Prince's Consort of Jingyang Palace is pregnant, but she still lacks nutrition for the fetus in her womb.
When this news reached the small kitchen, several mothers who were responsible for Shen Tang's food were horrified. They had always taken great care of the Crown Prince's Consort's food. They provided her with food that was different every day, including things flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water. The Crown Prince's Consort ate a lot, so how could she not get enough nutrition?
Ginkgo asked, "Is the Crown Prince's Consort not eating enough?"
Shen Tang also regretted that she was afraid that the baby in her belly would grow too fast and would be difficult to give birth to, so she intentionally controlled her food intake, causing the baby to lack nutrition.
The imperial physician shook his head. "It's not that you don't eat enough. You need to eat something that helps your bones grow. Fish bones or pearl powder. Powder made from tiger bones is best."
It is difficult for ordinary people to get tiger bones, but it is not difficult for the Jingyang Palace, so the imperial physician picked the best ones.
The imperial physician said, "Generally speaking, hip pain is mostly caused by these two reasons. The former will get much better once you adapt to it, and the latter will be greatly relieved if it is no longer lacking."
The princess said, "Thank you, imperial physician."
Ordinary medicine is useless. Besides, pregnant women should not take any medicine unless it is necessary. The imperial physician did not leave any prescription and said goodbye.
Before the imperial physician left, Xie Guimo ordered, "I'll ask Chen Qi to get the tiger bones and grind them into two large Dongzhu beads for consumption."
Imperial Physician, “…”
I really can't help it.
The imperial physician turned around and said, "Any ordinary pearl will do."
He knew that the Jingyang Palace had no shortage of Dadong Pearls, but this was such a waste of resources. Even if the Prince of Jingyang didn't feel sorry for them, he did.
Ginkgo said, "I will go to the storehouse and get two ordinary pearls, grind them into powder and send them to you."
Xie Guimo said, "Take the Dadong Pearl."
Of course his wife has to eat the best.
Shen Tang said, "Don't listen to him, just the ordinary one will do."
The princess said, "Try to get some tiger bone powder. When Mo'er was little, he tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep. Dean Zhao made him take tiger bone powder, and his body became much stronger than that of ordinary martial artists."
If you nourish it from the belly, the child will be stronger than Mo'er in the future.
Xie Guimo said, "Thank goodness the imperial physician came and cleared my name, otherwise I would have been scolded."
The princess just scolded him just now, but now she wants to beat her son. Why is it so difficult to get him to sleep in the study?
Two pearls were too few, and they were not enough for grinding ink. Ginkgo took six or seven. Fortunately, there were no Dadong pearls, otherwise several thousand taels would have been gone.
He ground the ink into fine pieces, rolled it into balls with syrup, and Shen Tang swallowed it.
Chen Qi searched all the pharmacies in Kyoto, but none of them sold tiger bones. He then went to the Imperial Hospital to ask, and they did have some, but the tiger bones had been soaked in wine, and pregnant women should not drink alcohol. Although nothing would be left after burning, since it involved the young master of Jingyang Palace, the imperial doctors did not dare to take it lightly. There were many alternatives to tiger bones, the most common of which was pig bones, but the effect was not as good.
But the imperial physician said that tiger bones were the best. We must use tiger bones. If they were not available in the pharmacy, how could they not be available in the mountains?
Several secret guards went up the mountain, killed one and brought it back, and sent it directly to the Imperial Hospital.
The imperial doctors, “…”
I’ve seen men doting on their wives, but I’ve never seen anyone doting on them like this.
The imperial kitchen was called in, and they skinned the tiger and shaved off the bones. After working for most of the day, they finally turned each bone into snow-white tiger bone powder which was stored in a jar.
Tiger bone powder is a good thing. It is not only good for pregnant women, but also for the elderly and growing children.
Shen Tang couldn't eat so much by himself, so he divided it into several portions and gave them to Princess Roujia, Yun Yi, Shen Ran and the others, as well as the old lady, Madam Yun, and the young masters of the An family...
