Chapter 4101 The Consequences of Getting Fat

Li Zhongci smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, princess, they all like it here."

Qian'er handed him a piece of snack and said with a smile: "You and I, husband and wife, why should we be so polite? Is everything okay at home? Are my husband and wife okay too?"

"all good."

Li Zhongci paused, "It's just..."

"What's the matter?" Qian'er saw his hesitation and smiled, "You and I, what's something we can't say directly?"

"Actually, it's nothing. As you know, my eldest brother was sent to work as an official and brought his wife and children with him. My mother will inevitably miss them."

Qian'er smiled and said, "It's human nature for a madam to miss her son. At the end of the year, I'll beg the emperor to ask him to bring his eldest brother and sister-in-law back."

"That's not necessary. Mother said that it is normal for a man to devote himself to the court. She is just worried that you and I have been married for several years and have not yet given birth to a son to add an heir to the Li family."

Qian'er paused in holding the spoon, her eyelashes drooped, leaving a faint shadow under her eyes.

"I have asked Imperial Physician Ouyang to help me take care of myself." She said softly.

"Princess, that's not what I meant. It's just that my mother has been awake at night because of this matter. As a junior, I can only deal with it and can't refute it."

"I know." Qian'er forced a smile, "Actually, I don't want to give birth to a boy for the Li family. It's just that my stomach has been silent for the past two years. Zhong Ci, I'm sorry."

Li Zhongci smiled and said, "What are you apologizing for? It's not your fault."

Qian'er was moved.

After dinner, Imperial Physician Ouyang came.

He checked Niu Niu's pulse first and said she was almost fine and there was no need to take any more medicine.

After all, children are still too young to take too many medicines.

Qian'er's heart finally calmed down.

Li Zhongci said: "Master Ouyang, please take the opportunity to diagnose the princess's pulse."

Ouyang already knew the eldest princess's wish to become pregnant. He immediately responded after hearing this, took out a piece of silk as thin as a cicada's wing, covered Qian'er's wrist, and carefully diagnosed her pulse.

He diagnosed very carefully.

Sometimes he frowns, sometimes he groans.

After burning the incense, he took back his hand.

Li Zhongci hurriedly asked: "Master Ouyang, I wonder how the princess's condition is? Can she get pregnant smoothly?"

Ouyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Prince Consort. Your Highness is fine."

Qian'er asked: "If it's okay, why haven't I been able to conceive a child in the past two years?"

Ouyang looked at her and said, "Princess has become much plumper in the past two years."

Qian'er's face turned red.

Li Zhongci frowned: "Could being pregnant have something to do with this?"

"It's somewhat related."

"How is that possible?" Li Zhongci was extremely surprised. "The princess is not that fat. Besides, I see many ladies who are much fatter than the princess, and they still give birth to many children."

Ouyang Wen said: "Don't be excited, Prince Consort. Everyone's situation is different and cannot be generalized. The princess was originally very thin and slender, but suddenly gained weight over a period of time, and many changes must have occurred in her body."

"So, I can't have another child, right?" Qian'er's voice trembled slightly.

"Don't be discouraged, princess. I will give you a prescription. You can take it on time to regulate your body. If you agree, you should also try to control some diet and lose some weight. There will definitely be a chance to get pregnant again." Ouyang comforted.

But these words of comfort did not have much effect in Qian'er's ears.

Her face turned pale and her heart trembled.

She thought getting fat was no big deal, but she didn't know it would have such serious consequences.
