Shen You was in the palace and also knew that Cui Yuanhan and Xu family had entered the capital. On the day of Xiu Mu, Shen You and Shen Jia left the palace together.
"Third brother, I won't go back to the Shen Mansion tonight. Please tell my aunt for me."
Shen Jia smiled and agreed. The two brothers walked together for a while and soon parted ways.
Shen You returned home as fast as an arrow and galloped forward. Even so, it was already dark when he returned to Cui's house.
Under the eaves of the corridor outside Cui's house, a row of wind lanterns was hung. The bright light shone quietly. The figures waiting at the door were enveloped by the light, which was particularly soft.
Feng Shaojun, with his pregnant belly, also stood at the door with a smile on his face.
Shen You felt hot in his heart, turned over and dismounted, walked forward quickly, and first bowed his hands to greet Mrs. Xu: "Shen You has met my grandmother." Then he raised his hands to Cui Yuanhan: "Cousin!"
Mrs. Xu smiled and looked at Shen You: "We haven't seen each other for a few years. Silang has matured and become more stable."
Cui Yuanhan was more direct: "There is also an invisible murderous and evil spirit."
It was an awe-inspiring killing that was honed by repeatedly going to the battlefield and wielding a knife to kill people. A glance at him could make people feel chilled.
Shen You raised the corners of his mouth silently, and his eyebrows softened deliberately: "Is this better?"
Shen You rarely joked, and everyone burst into laughter.
After greetings, everyone entered the house together. Shen You held Feng Shaojun's hand out of habit and asked in a low voice: "How is your appetite lately? Did you sleep well? Are your children bothering you?"
"My appetite is very good. Even though grandma is watching me, she never lets me eat enough. I also sleep well all night long until dawn. The child moves a lot and even kicked me just now."
"You really should eat less. I specifically asked the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor also said that pregnant women should exercise some control before giving birth. It's only thanks to grandma that she can control you." After saying this, Shen You actually felt a little distressed. .
During dinner, Shen You took advantage of Mrs. Xu's lack of attention and secretly brought Feng Shaojun a bowl of dishes, all of which were Feng Shaojun's favorites.
Mrs. Xu saw it but didn't know.
Shen You was born with a cold face that kept strangers away from him, and his temperament was a bit gloomy and withdrawn, which was not a lovable temperament. Only when facing Feng Shaojun, the corners of his mouth would be slightly raised, and his eyes would be slightly softer.
After dinner, Shen You chatted with Xu.
Basically, Xu said and Shen You listened.
Mrs. Xu babbled for a few words, then stopped, and urged with a smile: "It's so late, go back to the yard to rest early! If you want to talk, there will be plenty of time in the future, so don't rush it now."
Mainly, I feel sorry for Feng Shaojun. After eight months of pregnancy, a woman will be particularly hard-working, with swollen hands and feet, fatigue and sleepiness. Feng Shaojun, who used to be energetic, now feels drowsy as soon as it gets dark. Now he is sitting on a chair with his eyes half-open. He was half-closing and already yawned a few times.
Shen You also felt sorry for his wife, so he agreed smoothly, held Feng Shaojun's hand, and carefully returned to the yard.
Feng Shaojun yawned again and rested his head on Shen You's chest.
Shen You laughed and picked up Feng Shaojun effortlessly and put him on the bed. He went to take a bath and change clothes by himself. When he came back, Feng Shaojun was already asleep.
Pregnancy is really hard. Feng Shaojun used to stay up for two days and two nights without even dozing off.
Shen You sighed inwardly, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently rubbed Feng Shaojun's swollen feet and calves. Feng Shaojun murmured comfortably like a caressed cat.
A smile flashed in Shen You's eyes, he lay down next to Feng Shaojun, and quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
…
The following days passed very quickly.
After nine months of pregnancy, Feng Shaojun's face became visibly swollen and he became tired more easily. Cui Dalang was strictly forbidden to stay within three feet of Feng Shaojun since he loved to run and make trouble.
The delivery room was prepared, and two midwives attended to her every day.
This prepared battle made Feng Shaojun suddenly feel a little scared.
She has never been afraid of mountains of swords or seas of fire, and she has also experienced battles of life and death. Giving birth is her first experience. No one can control the risks involved during childbirth. This has nothing to do with whether she is strong or not!
With Feng Shaojun's ability, it would not take much effort to conceal this little bit of panic.
Even Mr. Xu didn't notice it.
However, Ji Xiang, who was serving closely, noticed something was wrong and whispered to Mother Zheng: "Mother Zheng, Miss Zheng seems to be a little restless recently. She woke up twice last night."
Mother Zheng sighed in a low voice: "A woman's childbirth is a hell. This is your first time, so how can you not be afraid of it? However, I have a good face, and if you don't want to show it, don't tell me. Please stay with me more often!"
Ji Xiang nodded, and then served him even more carefully and attentively, almost never leaving.
The girl Man'er in the palace has also given birth.
Speaking of this girl, Man'er, she was lucky. Yuan Min was kind-hearted and did not attack the child in her belly, so she was able to raise the baby with peace of mind.
However, her presence in the East Palace is extremely low. She never appears in front of people, and almost no one mentions her. There is no shortage of food and clothing. Zhu Yun, who has been canonized as the prince, has never set foot in her courtyard.
She is like a shadow, living quietly in the corner.
Moreover, she has never had a status, and her status is neither embarrassing nor embarrassing. The palace servants who serve her only vaguely call her Miss Man'er.
However, Man'er had no complaints about this. Being able to survive safely in the palace and give birth to her child was a huge surprise to her.
Crown Princess Yuan Min did not treat her harshly. She sent palace servants to take care of her, and also sent an imperial doctor to take care of her body. Her pregnancy was also very stable, and she went into labor smoothly.
It was evening when Man'er's stomachache broke out.
When the palace people came back to report, Yuan Min was holding the three-month-old brother Liang. Brother Liang suffered a lot when he was in his mother's womb, and he was a little thin when he was born. Fortunately, the nanny in the palace had enough milk and took care of her carefully. As he kept raising it, Brother Liang became fatter and fatter day by day. Yuan Min stretched out his hand to tease, and Brother Liang giggled.
Brother Dong and Sister Tang were also around. Brother Dong felt a little annoyed when his mother only stared at his younger brother, so he stretched out his hand and pinched his little brother's face. Brother Liang was pinched and hurt, and he immediately started crying at the top of his voice. .
While Yuan Min was coaxing Brother Liang, she also scolded Brother Dong with a smile: "Look at you, brother, how can you pinch your brother's face so hard?"
Brother Dong lowered his head and said, feeling unhappy.
Yuan Min's heart softened, and she gave Brother Liang to the wet nurse, and hugged Brother Dong to coax him for a few words. After all, he was still a three-year-old child, and it was the time to cling to his mother!
Brother Dong soon smiled and hugged his mother's neck and refused to let go.
At this time, a palace attendant walked in and reported in a low voice: "To the Crown Princess, Miss Man'er has a stomachache and was helped into the delivery room."
