Chapter 434: Chapter 434: She Was Spoiled to the Skies
Ouyang Qing: "Her physical condition is rather poor, but if the couple insists, we can try to help them cultivate an embryo. It might take several attempts, and success is not guaranteed. But the specific situation will depend on the development and growth of the embryo after it is retrieved."
Su Wan nodded her head.
This matter might just have to be left to fate.
Nowadays, in the Federal Empire, the fertility rate is low, and many people who have been married for years without conceiving have chosen this method.
Su Wan then asked Ouyang Qing about the care of mermaid eggs.
Ouyang Qing: "This is easy. I have a full set of equipment here, and I’ll have someone send a set over to you when the time comes."
Su Wan: "Mm, then I really thank you, Sister Ouyang."
Ouyang Qing: "Don’t mention it, we’re not strangers."
After everything had been handled, the aircraft happened to land on the helipad of the Imperial Palace.
The guard in charge immediately came forward to greet Su Wan and ask if she needed anything.
One could say that Su Wan was also half the master of this Imperial Palace.
Even if she had never exercised this right.
The guard said, "Her Majesty the Queen is having afternoon tea in the garden, and Miss Luo is here too. Her Majesty said, if you come, to go directly to the garden."
Su Wan nodded, "Alright."
The number of guards at the Imperial Palace had increased a lot since before.
Mainly because after the incident with Gu Tao, Gu Zilan truly worried about any danger to his wife and daughter, so he had increased the security personnel.
These people saluted immediately upon seeing Su Wan.
Su Wan nodded slightly and walked through the garden pavilions surrounded by flowers in full bloom.
The scent of flowers filled the air by her nostrils.
From a distance, she could hear Luo Jina’s voice.
"Sis, being pregnant is really hard, I feel like I’m suffocating every day. But, no one agrees to let me rejoin the team, can you help me talk to them?"
The Queen was quite speechless, she looked up just as Su Wan approached.
She said, "Then you ask Xiaowan, see if you can rejoin the team; she’s your captain."
The two were relatives, and they had been best friends before, and later comrades in the same team.
Luo Jina was taken aback and looked up.
She saw Su Wan coming over with a smiling face.
Su Wan had more or less heard what they were discussing and her gaze fell on Luo Jina, "What did the doctor say?"
Luo Jina pouted, "The doctor said that my pregnancy is not stable and suggested I take an extended leave."
For most purebred humans, the first pregnancy is always hard.
Back when Su Wan was at the Training Star Base, she had seen two female trainees vomiting profusely.
They looked extremely haggard.
Previously in the Federal Empire, the reason why there was a compulsory requirement for purebred human females to marry at twenty,
was also considering their health.
Getting pregnant earlier meant a higher resistance of the body.
The Su Wan from back then hadn’t yet undergone postnatal evolution into a Beastman, as she was about to turn twenty, and that’s why she had taken Gu Jue, who barged into the wedding ceremony that night, to get married...
It was mainly because modern environments pose a large radiation hazard to the human body, to which purebred humans are even less resistant.
If they marry later, the potential impact on their bodies may be even greater.
Purebred males are also affected, but after all, in this world, the constitution of Beastmen is far superior to that of purebred males.
Their expertise is also much higher.
That’s why no compulsory requirements were made for purebred males.
This law was primarily considered for the sake of the next generation.
But because it wasn’t very humane, over the years, the rule that purebred human females must marry at age twenty has also changed.
If an individual does not wish to marry, they can apply to the Main System in advance.
If an individual wants to marry, but does not have a suitable partner, then the Main System will match a marriage partner for them based on their genetic qualities and actual circumstances.
In fact, quite a few people were waiting for the Federal Empire to set them up with a partner.
Luo Jina was suffering a bit more during her pregnancy because she became pregnant later in life and her body was not as robust as that of a Beastman.
Seeing her eager expression, Su Wan said, "You can rejoin the unit, but you won’t carry out any missions outside, and also don’t do any strenuous work."
The Starship Fleet is mostly dispatched on missions.
Not carrying out missions outside means basically doing office work.
Luo Jina looked downcast.
Speechless, Su Wan said, "You’re just feeling restless and want to get out, right? But you don’t have to be too bored, after a while, I’ll go to the military department and keep you company."
Office work is also very important.
Furthermore, Su Wan wanted to spend more time with her children recently and would apply to work at the military department instead of going on field assignments.
Even if her health was exceptional, she didn’t want to risk affecting the child by being careless for just a moment during an assignment.
Luo Jina was silent for a few seconds.
But upon hearing that Su Wan would be with her, she immediately stopped insisting on rejoining the unit.
Queen Luo Manya looked at her sister helplessly and said, "I have no idea how Alex puts up with you."
Luo Jina lifted her chin proudly, "Even before I got pregnant, he doted on me like this."
And after getting pregnant, she was even more spoiled.
The three of them chatted for a while, and just then the Queen had some business to attend to and left first.
Xiaochen’s classes would still take some time to finish.
In the garden pavilion, only Luo Jina and Su Wan were left.
Luo Jina whispered, "Xiaowan, I heard that Xiao’an went to Yuanyi Planet, and I also heard that Zhuo Yun has a childhood betrothal with her. Do you think she’ll have to get married when she comes back this time?"
Su Wan replied, "They don’t have an emotional foundation, and they might not fancy each other. Plus, Xiao’an is a very opinionated person."
Luo Jina said, "I thought so too. Ah, I’ve seen that Zhuo Yun, she’s very pretty and quite outgoing, a perfect match for Xiao’an’s cool and aloof demeanor."
Sheng An is usually too calm and composed, as if she remains unruffled by anything that happens.
Thinking of Sheng Le’s feelings for Xiao’an, Su Wan chuckled softly, but didn’t say anything.
Actually, Sheng An was not always calm and collected.
Right now, she was sitting on a spaceship headed to Yuanyi Planet, without Zhuo Yun by her side, just Sheng Le looking somewhat sheepish.
He said softly, "Sis, don’t be mad, I... I..."
He hesitated for quite some time without managing to say anything conclusive.
After all, Sheng Le was really anxious.
That’s why he had hugged Sheng An last night and kissed her.
The next moment, he received a slap across his face from Sheng An.
Sheng Le had not slept all night, worried that Sheng An would completely ignore him, or worse, not take him along today.
This uneasy feeling peaked when Zhuo Yun showed up.
Zhuo Yun also knew Sheng Le and treated him like a little brother, greeting him with a brilliant smile.
Sheng Le’s emotions were complicated.
Now on the spaceship, with Zhuo Yun busy elsewhere, Sheng Le quietly apologized to Sheng An.
Sheng An looked up, her eyes dark as usual, seemingly as composed as always.
She said, "You’ve grown up, and the Manic-Depressive Period has come, so remember to carry your exclusive medicine to avoid a mental breakdown at that time."
