Ah Luo is young and in excellent health. The birth of the baby was also quite smooth.
After the child was born, A Luo closed her eyes to rest tiredly.
Brother You was so distressed that he wiped the sweat from A Luo's forehead. He was so full of love for his wife that he didn't even bother to take a look at his newborn son.
The nun who announced the good news quickly returned to the delivery room happily and found it funny when she saw it. She hugged the baby boy who was wiped clean and wrapped in a small red quilt: "Your Highness, open your eyes and take a look. The features of the little emperor's grandson are really handsome."
Not only does his face look handsome, but his cries are also loud and clear.
A Luo opened her eyes, and a small red face came into view.
In fact, the newborn baby was all red and looked like a little monkey. How could he tell whether he was ugly or handsome? But when A Luo saw it, he felt infinite tenderness and joy in his heart.
A small nose, small eyes, a small mouth that opens wide, and a deafening cry.
Yes, my son is indeed handsome!
A Luo looked at the child eagerly and intently, and shouted softly: "Brother You, hurry up and see how handsome our son is!"
Brother You was also looking at the child. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He smiled and said, "My eyebrows look like yours. How can I not be handsome?"
A'luo wanted to reach out and hug the child, but she didn't have the strength. She turned to Brother You and said, "Bring the child over and put it next to me."
Brother You responded and carefully picked up the child with both hands, as if holding a rare treasure. He carefully placed it next to A Luo.
A Luo tilted her head and faced her son, feeling very happy in her heart.
It is strange to say that the baby boy who was crying endlessly stopped crying when he came to his mother's side, and his little ruddy mouth opened.
A Luo looked very surprised: "Why doesn't the child cry?"
Brother You guessed uncertainly: "Maybe I smell your scent!"
"He always licks his little mouth, is he hungry?" Ah Luo, a first-time mother, felt strong and strange emotions surging in her heart, her voice was soft and soft.
Brother You carefully observed the pitiful look on his son's mouth: "Well, he must be hungry. I'll send someone to call the wet nurse."
In fact, there are no wet nurses in the palace. Those who serve in the palace are either female officials or maids. Only women who are married and have children have milk.
After Ah Luo became pregnant, Xie Mingxi ordered several healthy wet nurses to be brought into the palace in the capital to teach them the rules of the palace and to feed them well. Some of these wet nurses gave birth to daughters, and some were pregnant.
After giving birth to a son, the milk was also particular. Baby girls and baby boys drank different milk. I didn’t know whether the baby in Aluo’s belly was a boy or a girl, so she picked two of each.
Now that A'luo has given birth to a son, two of the wet nurses can be sent out of the palace, leaving the other two.
A'luo looked at her son, feeling heartbroken and reluctant, and whispered: "Brother You, I can't feed him myself. I feel sorry for my son."
There is nothing we can do about this.
She took a month off from going to court before giving birth, and then went to confinement. After confinement, she had to return to court to discuss politics. She didn't have much time to accompany her child, and she had no time to feed her.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Seeing A Luo blaming herself and feeling disappointed, Brother You hurriedly smiled and reassured: "You don't have free time, I have a lot of time. I have already taken a long leave, and I will put my errands away from the Hanlin Academy for the time being. When my son turns one year old, I will
Go on errand again."
Anyway, it won't be a big deal if he is missing from the Hanlin Academy. Since his son doesn't have his own mother by his side, he is absolutely indispensable as his biological father.
This was something that the young couple had discussed a long time ago. Ah Luo felt guilty. It was just that the couple had to have someone to accompany their children, so they had to feel wronged by Brother You.
…
The child was taken away to be fed, and A Luo fell into a deep sleep.
This sleep lasted most of the day.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already evening.
The delivery room has been cleaned up, but there is still a faint smell of blood. Several candlesticks are burning together, and the room is as bright as day. Brother You has been squeezed aside...
Emperor Sheng Hong occupied the best position beside the bed domineeringly, his eyes full of concern: "A Luo, you finally woke up, how do you feel now?"
Xie Mingxi, who was standing next to her, had a rare expression of gentleness on her face: "Aluo, you must be hungry after sleeping for most of the day. I've asked someone to prepare light rice porridge. You can eat some first."
Surrounding the bed were Gu Shan Changmei's concubine Lin Weiwei and others.
Ah Luo's heart welled up with the happiness of being cared for by everyone, and she responded with a smile: "When the Queen said this, I suddenly felt hungry."
He still has the energy to joke, which shows that he is in good spirits.
Xie Mingxi looked at A Luo carefully and was quite pleased to see that A Luo's face was still rosy.
Giving birth to a woman is a life-threatening experience, and it consumes the most energy and energy. It is not uncommon for a woman with a delicate body to be unable to survive. Fortunately, Aluo has been practicing martial arts since she was a child and is in very good health. Not to mention that the birth will go smoothly, and she will definitely be able to do it quickly.
recover.
The porridge was delivered.
Brother You bravely approached the bed and took the bowl under his father-in-law's dissatisfied glare: "Sister Aluo, let me feed you."
Sheng Hong wanted to snort, but Xie Mingxi pinched him, and he endured the snort angrily.
Amid the ardent care and concern of everyone, Ah Luo drank a bowl of hot porridge served by her husband. She had just given birth to a baby, so it was not advisable to eat too much. After eating the hot porridge, Ah Luo felt a little more energetic and wanted to take care of the baby.
The baby boy, who had eaten, drank, peed, had his diaper changed and reswaddled, was brought over.
When A Luo was sleeping, everyone had seen the child. When they saw it again, they felt it was even more handsome. So everyone praised the child one by one.
"The child is born like A Luo, with very handsome eyebrows." You don't need to think about it to know that this must be what Sheng Hong said.
"I think the child will look like his biological father." This was Lin Weiwei's heartfelt words.
Xie Mingxi hugged the child and said with a smile: "It's really heavy. It's heavier than when A Luo was born."
Speaking of this, Lin Weiwei felt guilty: "Brother You was born prematurely at seven months. When he was born, he was as light and light as a kitten. He must be like A Luo in this way."
It’s great to be like A Luo! The child is healthy and lively.
Everyone smiled knowingly.
…
The emperor's grandson came from Muzi, and the emperor gave him a name. The single character is Hua, and his nickname is Brother Hua.
The good news of the crown prince's birth quickly spread throughout the capital on this day.
The state has a crown prince, and people's hearts are at peace. The crown prince has an heir again, and there are successors to the Qi Dynasty. This is a great event worth celebrating. All the officials are happy.
The good news reached the Xie Mansion. Xie Shangshu's face was filled with joy and he gave his servants an extra month's money as a reward.
When the good news reached the Lu Mansion, Lu Ge Lao stroked his beard and smiled, silently deciding to stay in the position of chief minister for a few more years.
As a courtier, it is your duty to dedicate yourself to your country and die till you die.
