Early the next morning, Meng Huaiyu rubbed his eyes and sat up. He found that his father was sleeping soundly with his mother in his arms, and he was sitting on the corner of the bed. His little face suddenly felt a little confused... he crawled and crawled, climbed behind his father, fell down and continued sleeping. .
-
After breakfast, the three of them went to the main courtyard to pay their respects, but were scolded by the old lady: "Confused! Qiang's belly is so big, what if she gets kicked accidentally? One by one, they don't know anything. It gives people peace of mind.”
He immediately left Meng Huaiyu by his side to prevent the worried parents from messing around.
Then he was afraid that the two of them would act recklessly, so he sent a nanny specially.
That night, after Meng Yuchuan had washed himself and was going to sleep with his wife in his arms, his mother-in-law came in and asked him to sleep in the front yard or study.
Meng Yuchuan: "..."
Xihe covered his mouth and laughed.
Meng Yuchuan glanced at her helplessly and said to Mammy: "I have my own sense of discretion. Mammy, please go down and rest."
Mammy wanted to persuade her again. After all, she was sent by the old lady to separate them so that the two young men would not act ignorantly and hurt their unborn master.
But seeing the way the Marquis said it, she opened her mouth and could only go on reluctantly.
After the door closed, Meng Yuchuan held her in his arms. Seeing that Xihe was still covering her mouth and laughing happily, he was speechless. He kissed her loudly on the cheek and said in frustration: "Sooner or later, I will deal with you!"
Xihe's laughter suddenly became more joyful.
-
This pregnancy of Xihe was easy, but there were many inconveniences, such as getting up at night, drinking water, swelling of the calf after the month was over, etc., all of which were taken care of by Meng Yuchuan.
Every time he slept until midnight, Xihe was woken up by thirst and pushed the person next to him.
Meng Yuchuan woke up immediately, reached for the warm water on the small table, and waited for her to drink it.
As for his swollen calves, he also learned from the maid and learned a lot about massage. He would rub Xihe's legs to relieve fatigue when he had nothing to do.
Xihe naturally enjoyed this.
But everyone in the house was so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
I can't help but wonder, did the Marquis treat his ex-wife with such caution back then? The answer is no.
When Mrs. Zheng was pregnant with the young prince, although the Marquis also told the doctor to take care of him, he did not do it himself, let alone share the same bed. After all, a pregnant woman cannot serve her husband, and the Marquis's greatest concern was not to take concubines... This man is really incomparable. Who among the female relatives in the capital did not envy Zheng for marrying a good husband? The lady will not touch anyone else even when she is pregnant.
But now looking at the Qiang family, oh, the Marquis really wishes he could suffer for his wife.
The servants were amazed, and the two old ladies in the mansion were also shocked.
On the one hand, the old lady thought it was a good thing, her family Chuan'er had finally found a sweetheart, but on the other hand, she was panicked and anxious. If Chuan'er valued the Qiang family so much, how could Huaiyu still have a foothold in the future when the Qiang family gave birth to a son? land?
He quickly opened the treasurer and began to dig through his inventory, deciding to leave a little more protection for his grandson.
Lu was also surprised, but she accepted it well, and she had observed for so long that she knew that although Qiang was lazy, she had a great temper, and she was sincere in her treatment of Huaiyu, and would not resort to such despicable tactics.
Xihe was raised comfortably for nine months, until one day in October, his stomach suddenly became upset.
Meng Yuchuan's voice trembled: "Quick, go invite the doctor and Po Wen!"
He picked up Xihe and strode into the house.
Peony Garden immediately became busy, inviting doctors and stable mothers. Meng Yuchuan had already found someone to raise her in the house during Xihe's pregnancy. In less than a quarter of an hour, someone called over.
When the old lady and Mrs. Lu heard the news, they hurried over with the help of the maid.
At a glance, Mrs. Lu saw the little one with a pale face standing in the corner, and hurriedly hugged her. Meng Huaiyu burst into tears when he saw her, and grabbed Mrs. Lu's sleeves tightly: "Grandma, it hurts so much, please hurry up." Save her!"
At this time, Xihe in the room could no longer control his pain and groaned.
Lu's expression changed and she immediately asked the maid to take the little guy away.
This time Xihe struggled for five or six hours before the little girl in her belly was willing to let go. Xihe was so tired that she fainted after just a quick glance.
"Mom, are you still in pain?"
Xihe woke up again, and Meng Huaiyu was lying beside the bed obediently.
Xihe weakly touched the little guy's head and felt soft: "It doesn't hurt anymore. Huaiyu is worried that it's my mother's fault."
Hearing this, the tears that had been in the little guy's eyes fell. He buried his face in Xihe's palm and cried until his body trembled: "Mom, don't let anything happen to you. I don't want anything to happen to you. "
Xihe was surprised and held up the little guy's face: "How can something happen to my mother? My mother is just giving birth to a younger sister and will not leave Huaiyu."
Meng Huaiyu cried so much that he hiccupped: "But this is how my mother died. Mother, my child didn't want you to die."
He gave birth yesterday, and the entire Hou Mansion was busy. He sneaked into Peony Garden while the maid was not paying attention, and then heard the maid say that his mother Zheng died just to give birth to him. Now that her mother is giving birth to her sister, she doesn't know if something will happen... …
Xihe immediately looked at Meng Yuchuan, his eyes reproachful.
Meng Yuchuan glanced at Qingzhu, who looked solemn and immediately turned around and left.
Xihe promised the little guy: "Mom will be fine and will always stay with Huaiyu."
With Xihe's comfort, Meng Huaiyu finally burst into laughter. Then the wet nurse brought her sister. The little girl was wrapped in swaddling clothes and was sleeping soundly.
Meng Huaiyu's eyes were full of surprise, and he touched his sister's hand carefully: "Mom, my sister is so soft and small!"
Xihe smiled, his eyebrows curved.

When Xihe gave birth to a child, the Prime Minister's Mansion came to visit and brought a piece of news.
Qiang Baowen deliberately fell into the water in order not to marry the Five Emperors and was rescued by General Lin. There were so many people present that he had to marry him. The news reached His Majesty's ears. He scolded Prime Minister Qiang for not being able to discipline his children and directly punished him to stay at home and think about his mistakes. .
Xihe didn't expect Qiang Baowen to be so tough!
However, this move also reassured the Crown Princess and avoided the embarrassment of Prime Minister Qiang.
It's just... After this incident, I'm afraid your Majesty won't be able to tolerate the prince anymore.
Sure enough, just after the little girl's first birthday, the imperial court's impeachment memorial for the prince floated on His Majesty's table like snowflakes. The prince was grounded, and the ministers were demoted and punished at the same time.
Not long after, the prince was deposed.
At the same time, the emperor established six ministries under someone's suggestion, and the power of the prime minister was greatly weakened.
Suddenly, the officials who were watching silently were shocked, and then they realized that His Majesty had been dissatisfied with the prince for a long time, but he had not abolished it until now because he had been plotting behind his back.
Until today, everything was ready, so he used thunder to depose the prince.
As for military power, His Majesty also took corresponding measures. Generals and generals left their territories and were sent to serve in other armies. From then on, there were no more "Lin Family Army, Meng Family Army" and other armies. They became iron-clad soldiers and flowing generals. The imperial power was unprecedentedly concentrated.
