Chapter 515 [The Legend of Zhen Huan 50]
After Youyou woke up, Yinzhen came to see her immediately. He sat beside the bed, holding Youyou's hand tightly, and said with a worried look on his face: "Qingqing, why did you sleep for so long? If the imperial physician hadn't said that you were fine and just fell asleep because you were too tired, which is a normal phenomenon, I would be so worried!"
Youyou smiled at Yinzhen, her eyes full of tenderness and love, and said softly: "My husband, I'm fine, right? Don't worry, I feel much better now, but I'm a little hungry."
When Yinzhen heard Youyou say that she was hungry, he immediately told Ziyuan who was standing beside him, "Go and make some easily digestible food for your queen."
Zi Yuan replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, I have asked Aunt Fanghua to heat it up in the kitchen. I will bring it right away." After saying that, she hurriedly left the room.
"Okay, then you go quickly." Yinzhen waved his hand to signal Ziyuan to leave.
After Ziyuan left, Yinzhen gently helped Youyou up, let her lean on the bed, and said gently: "Qingqing, lean back and rest for a while, and eat something to replenish your energy later."
"Okay." Youyou nodded, a happy smile on her face.
"You have given birth to four children. The imperial physician said that you should stay in confinement for two months. Your body has been damaged after giving birth. You should take good care of yourself during this period." Yinzhen looked at Youyou seriously, his tone full of concern and tenderness.
"But, husband, two months is too long. I feel a little suffocated. Besides, the maids won't let me wash my hair or take a bath. I must be very smelly after these two months." Youyou frowned and complained dissatisfiedly. She really couldn't imagine herself spending two months like this.
"It's all for your health, please be obedient, ok?" Yinzhen gently stroked Youyou's hand, trying to comfort her.
"But, my husband, I heard that the food during the confinement period is very light. I can't stand eating it for two months." Youyou pouted and looked at Yinzhen pitifully.
"How about I eat with you?" Yinzhen suggested tentatively. He knew that Youyou liked to eat delicious food. If he could eat light food with her, perhaps she would be more receptive.
"Okay, my husband, you must keep your word. Will you eat with me for two months?" Youyou's eyes lit up and she asked excitedly. If Yinzhen could eat light food with her, she would at least not feel too lonely.
"Of course I'll keep my word. Starting tomorrow, I'll come to eat with you every day." Yinzhen looked at her seriously, his eyes full of determination.
"Okay, then I'll ask Aunt Fanghua to prepare an extra portion every day. My husband and I will eat together, and we want two identical portions." The corners of Youyou's mouth rose slightly, revealing a sly smile.
"Okay." Yinzhen agreed without even thinking about it, completely unaware of the challenges this would bring him.
However, when the first confinement meal was served, Yinzhen was dumbfounded. The table was filled with a variety of light, oil-free foods, such as steamed fish, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and white porridge. He frowned and secretly complained in his heart.
"What? Don't you like it?" Youyou blinked her big eyes and asked innocently.
"No... I just didn't expect it to be so light." Yinzhen replied with a wry smile.
"You need to avoid certain foods during the confinement period. You can't eat greasy or spicy food. So I have to let my husband in." Youyou smiled mischievously.
Yinzhen nodded helplessly, thinking: Never mind, since I have already agreed, I will just eat it anyway. So, he picked up a piece of steamed fish and put it in his mouth. Although the taste was light, it had a unique flavor.
As time went by, Yinzhen gradually got used to this light diet and even found that some of the dishes were delicious. Youyou stayed by his side all the time, and the two of them enjoyed the food and chatted, creating a warm atmosphere.
However, on the seventh day, Yinzhen finally couldn't bear it anymore. He put down his chopsticks, sighed and said, "Youyou, can you change some dishes? I really can't eat any more."
Youyou smiled slightly and said softly, "Husband, hold on for a few more days. This is what confinement meals are like. They are good for your body's recovery."
Yinzhen shook his head helplessly, thinking: I really shot myself in the foot. But seeing that Youyou was so persistent, he had no choice but to continue to endure. In this way, they spent another month of confinement, and Yinzhen also learned to enjoy light food in the process.
