The autumn wind blew all over the capital, picking off countless fallen leaves.
There were a few birds standing on the bare branches. They were jumping around and looking around. When they saw people coming, they flapped their wings and jumped up to the eaves, chirping and wondering what the noise was about.
Mandong raised his head and stared for a while, then said kindly: "I see that other birds have gone to the south, why are you still here?"
There are always the most birds in Jinshiyuan. Because Luqing likes to hear their crisp calls, she never lets her servants drive them away.
"Don't you think that our master is kind-hearted and won't just stay here for nothing while seeing you starve and freeze?"
The more Man Dong thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, "Well, whoever makes the master and the little masters like you, just stay here and don't cause trouble!"
What trouble can a few birds cause? Ji Qin laughed at her: "You and the bird are talking."
Mandong rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "They are very clever. When His Highness the Crown Prince is away, they will go to the window sill to wake up the master. When His Highness the Crown Prince is here, they will stop coming and hide quietly without even daring to make a sound."
There was no movement in the house, and Fang Jinbao hadn't come yet to urge Yan to help Guang go to court. Mandong and Jiqin waited quietly at the door until after half a cup of tea, there was some noise inside. They and several maids were carrying toiletries. File in.
Lu Qing didn't sleep peacefully, and she followed Yan Fuguang as soon as he woke up.
She moved her heavy body and tried to put her shoes on with her feet.
Ji Qin was about to squat down and put on her shoes, but saw Yan Fuguang take the lead.
He dragged Lu Qing's feet and put the shoes on her feet with nimble fingers. When he looked up and saw that she still looked tired, he couldn't help but worry, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
After lying down for too long, her back ached and her legs felt uncomfortable. Lu Qing nodded and said, "I'm a little hungry. I want to have breakfast and then sleep for a while."
Yan Fuguang helped her put on her clothes, and then Ji Qin and Man Dong helped Lu Qing wash herself briefly.
The breakfast for the three masters was quickly put out in the small kitchen. Because Lan Geer had to study, he and Yan Fuguang got up at almost an hour every day. When he saw Lu Qing early this morning, he couldn't help but worry.
"Mom, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
According to their observations, Lu Qing generally sleeps well to prove that she is in good health and in a good mood.
Brother Lan touched Lu Qing's belly distressedly. His mother was working too hard.
"It's okay, mother is just hungry. Go to bed when you are full."
Brother Lan felt relieved for the time being. He gave her a small bun that Lu Qing liked.
Yan Fuguang put the porridge in front of Lu Qing to his side, took a spoonful of it, blew it, and brought it to her mouth.
Lu Qing: "..."
She also has hands, right?
Yan Fuguang raised the corners of his lips: "Tang, I'll feed you."
It was still early and he was in no hurry to go to court.
Luqing bowed her head obediently and drank her porridge, while Brother Lan watched silently.
He raised his little hand and touched his bowl. Well, it was indeed very hot.
But seeing his father like that, he had no time to brag about it.
"Huhu——" Brother Lan concentrated on puffing out his cheeks and blowing on his still very hot porridge.
He is an older boy, he can do his own things, and his father said that boys should not be too squeamish.
Lu Qing blushed quietly, "I'll do it myself. Your Highness has to go to court, so don't delay."
Brother Lan eats all his own food, what does she mean by that?
Yan Fuguang refused to let go and fed him spoonfuls: "There's just a little bit left."
Lu Qing stopped after finishing a bowl of porridge and eating two small buns. She was still sleepy, and Yan Fuguang wouldn't let her stay at the table.
"Go and get some sleep. I'll come back next time and bring you the snacks you like."
Brother Lan also pursed his lips and nodded: "Mom, go to bed. I'll ask Sister Wushuang to take me to Mengbi Studio."
Lu Qing looked at the father and son, whose expressions and movements were very similar, and she said gently: "It's a bit cold today. Your Highness and Brother Lan should wear more clothes and bring their cloaks."
Both the young and the old listened to her and said yes.
Lu Qing went back to bed and took a nap. When he woke up, Brother Yu and Brother Jiu happened to come over.
"Mom." As soon as they saw Lu Qing, the two little guys ran over, holding Lu Qing's hands one on the left and the other on the right.
When Lu Qing sat down on the soft couch, they did not leave, standing by her legs and looking at her belly.
Brother Jiu'er frowned. He tapped Lu Qing's belly with his fingers and said seriously: "Why don't you come out?"
When her brother taught her younger brother and sister a lesson, Lu Qing smiled and squeezed the little breasts that Brother Jiu had managed to raise, "Because it wasn't time yet, and you and your brother were living together in your mother's belly at that time. , I’ll come out when the time is up.”
Him and his brother? Does that mean that when he was living in her belly, her mother was also working so hard?
Brother Jiu'er drooped his eyebrows, hugged Lu Qing's legs and rubbed them. He even said, "I don't want them anymore, I don't want them anymore."
Lu Qing was even dumbfounded: "We can't do it. If we wait a little longer, our ninth brother will become an elder brother, isn't that good?"
Brother Jiu sniffed and said aggrievedly: "But mother is uncomfortable..."
Lu Qing's pregnancy was difficult, and all four of her father and son saw it.
As expected of the little darlings she gave birth to through all the hard work, each and every one of them will love others. Lu Qing touched his little face lovingly and coaxed in a gentle voice: "It's not uncomfortable anymore. Mother, when she thinks about the younger brothers and sisters she gave birth to, She will be as cute as the three of you, and my mother will be very happy."
Brother Jiu snorted and buried his little face in Lu Qing's lap without showing his face.
Brother Yu poked Brother Jiu's little butt and asked him to move away. He also wanted to act coquettishly for his mother.
Brother Jiu gave in a rare obedience, and Lu Qing saw Brother Yu leaning on her leg in the same posture.
"I love my mother the most. I want to be the best to my mother. Thank you for your hard work, mother~"
Lu Qing felt sweet in her heart, "Mother also likes you the most. Other people's babies are not as cute and well-behaved as ours. Both mother and father like you."
The two coquettish little guys hummed and climbed onto the couch, one pinched Lu Qing's shoulders and the other pinched Lu Qing's legs.
Brother Jiu struggled to hold Lu Qing's calf and rubbed it in an orderly manner. Yan Fuguang did this when Lu Qing's leg was severely swollen, and he followed suit.
"Is it better?" the young master asked seriously, as if he really had a technique passed down from his ancestors.
In fact, it was just like tickling. Lu Qing chuckled and coaxed him to play: "It's much better. Brother Jiu is so awesome!"
Brother Jiu felt full of accomplishment and continued to massage hard.
Not to be outdone, Brother Yu pinched his shoulders and slapped his back, very busy.
He didn't ask for credit, he only worked harder when Lu Qing praised Ninth Brother, and when Lu Qing looked at him, he showed an impeccable sweet smile.
How could Lu Qing be reluctant to praise him, "Brother Yu is so awesome, why does mother think you can pinch him even better than last time?"
She alone coaxed the two brothers to compete for performance, and it was even worse when Yan Fuguang and Brother Lan came back.
Glancing at the peeled grapes that were handed to his mouth, Lu Qing looked helplessly at the man who looked just like the children asking for credit: "Your Highness, why are you joining in the fun?"
Now, as long as the four of them are by Lu Qing's side, it is no longer the maid's turn to do the work of serving tea and water, squeezing shoulders and legs.
Needless to say, Brother Jiu and Brother Yu took care of the massage.
When Brother Lan came to school, he was afraid that Lu Qing would be bored, so he read and told stories at his fingertips.
In this fierce competition, Yan Fuguang only found a job peeling grapes, which he cherished very much.
"Try it?" he coaxed.
Lu Qing took the grape into his mouth, almost chewed it and swallowed it, then he opened his palm to take it.
Lu Qing: "..."
Silently spitting the seeds into his palm, Yan Fuguang threw them away with a natural expression, wiped his hands and continued peeling the grapes.
