After Cheng Moyang and Anle got married, their daily life was that Princess Anle would sleep in in the morning, while Cheng Moyang would get up early to attend court and then go to work in the Yulin Army.

After finishing their shifts, they returned to the princess's mansion to rest, and then the couple went back to the Marquis Xuanping's mansion and waited for dinner.

Sometimes, he would go to Zhuangyuan Mansion with Jiang to visit Jiang Sui and have dinner there.

An Leke really likes the food at Jiang Sui’s house. The food is so delicious. The chef was brought from Jeju and all of his dishes are Bei Moting’s best-selling dishes.

Jiang Suiji would occasionally have some creative ideas and would also research some new ways of eating.

Open-air barbecue, beggar's chicken, spicy hot pot and so on, there is nothing she can't think of, only what you haven't eaten.

Jiang Sui actually has selfish motives. In modern times, doctors would definitely tell pregnant women to eat less greasy and spicy foods, and avoid eating raw, cold and shady foods.

She thought, she is about to give birth, if she doesn't eat and drink everything she wants before giving birth, then who can stand eating bland soup every day during the confinement period?

So, one month before giving birth, she started to find ways to make all the hot pot, barbecue, and spicy hot pot that she wanted to eat.

As a result, the food smelled so good that it attracted a lot of greedy people, and the Zhuangyuan Mansion was bustling with people every day.

Xia Wanning and his wife, as well as Cheng Moyang and his wife, would come to her from time to time and ask her to prepare delicious food for them.

Helian Heng also came to join in the fun, and brought his own bowl and chopsticks.

They don't eat and drink for free, they always bring something every time they come.

Jiang Sui even asked someone to use jade to make a set of mahjong and taught everyone how to play mahjong.

At the beginning, Xiao's mother and Jiang were relatively reserved and just watched the younger generations play. It just so happened that Jiang Sui, Xia Wanning, Fang Miao, and Princess Anle could sit at one table.

Every time the four of them played cards, there were four secretaries sitting next to them, serving them tea and water, and massaging their shoulders and legs.

As a result, as the game went on, the four men who were not at the table became more knowledgeable than the four men who were at the table. They each handed the cards to their own women and taught them which card would give them a wider chance of winning.

Jiang and Xiao's mother also gradually became interested, so they called Xuanping Hou and Xiao's father to join them, and the four of them played at one table. The two old fathers would give in to them, and every time they let them win money, they smiled brightly.

Jiang even ordered people to make two sets of jade mahjong and kept them at home. Whenever guests came to her house, she would arrange for them to play mahjong. Soon, it became popular in Kyoto.

Those ladies and daughters who had nothing to do all day would get together to play mahjong to kill time. They found that for a while, many people's homes became much more peaceful because of this.

The wives and concubines were willing to put aside their differences temporarily, and all the intrigues were used at the card table.

It even became popular in the harem, where the ladies in the harem would spend their time playing mahjong when they could not see the emperor.

Now, everyone in Kyoto knows that this way of playing was a brilliant idea developed by Cheng Xiangjun of Zhuangyuan Mansion. Because of her, many families' homes have become harmonious, and everyone praises her.

Jiang Sui stayed at home every day, never going out of the house, so naturally she didn't know about these things. The closer the delivery day got, the more nervous she became, but she was also very much looking forward to it.

After she became pregnant, she was startled every day. Sometimes she was worried when the baby moved less, and she was also worried when the baby moved more frequently.

At the same time, she was worried about what would happen if she had a difficult delivery in ancient times when medical technology was backward.

What should I do if the fetus is in an abnormal position?

However, Doctor Lou told herself that she had specifically felt the fetal position and the baby was in the correct position, so on the day of delivery, everything should go smoothly.

………

After estimating her due date, it seemed like it would be within the next few days, so Xiao Hechuan took a special vacation to stay at home and accompany her as she waited for the birth of her baby.

Jiang Sui has a very good appetite. Since she became pregnant, she has gained about 15 kilograms, and it seems that she has some flesh on her face.

It turns out that her weight is only about 90 kilograms.

The nanny took good care of her, and her diet was healthy and clean throughout her pregnancy. Compared with other pregnant women, she did not have problems such as bloating and edema.

Also one afternoon, after lunch, Jiang Sui was taking a nap when he was suddenly awakened by stomach pain. He found that he had spotting.

Although he was well prepared, Xiao Hechuan still panicked. He stood there and kept asking Jiang Sui if it hurt.

Normally, this man, who would remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe, now acted like a helpless boy, running around in a panic.

Fortunately, with Jiang and Xiao's mother around, both elders were experienced people and seemed much calmer.

The midwife and wet nurse had been found two months in advance, and all the tools for delivery were ready.

In addition to Xiao Hechuan, Fang Miao was also very anxious. Cheng Moyang and his wife and Marquis Xuanping received the news and rushed back in an emergency.

Doctor Lou was on call all the time. She asked Xiao Hechuan to help Jiang Sui walk around in the yard. Since it was their first child, walking more would help speed up the process.

Xiao Hechuan kept asking her if it hurt, and Jiang Sui shook her head.

"It just started. It's not particularly painful yet. It comes and goes. It's bearable."

This is how women give birth. Only after they reach the fourth or fifth finger, the intervals between contractions will shorten, and that's when the most difficult part will begin.

Cheng Moyang and Xuanping Hou hurried back, and Jiang Sui was still eating to replenish his strength.

As night fell, the pain became more intense, but the midwife said that if I tried to save my strength for delivery, it would be much smoother.

Marquis Xuanping was worried, so he specially invited two imperial doctors from the palace to take charge.

Jiang Sui was sweating profusely from the pain, but she endured it and didn't cry out. She held Xiao Hechuan's hand, her knuckles turning white.

Xiao Hechuan's frown never relaxed.

Finally, the time came. Jiang and Xiao's mother drove Xiao Hechuan out and started to deliver Jiang Sui's baby.

Watching the maids coming in and out carrying basins of hot water, the white handkerchief was stained with blood, which was shocking to Xiao Hechuan.

He walked back and forth in front of the delivery room, hearing Jiang Sui's cries of pain inside, and the midwife's repeated requests for her to push harder and to hold on. His heart ached so much that it bled.

His hands were clenched so tightly that veins bulged and his nails were digging into his flesh, but he was completely unaware.

He finally understood why his eldest and third brothers were so anxious when his eldest and third sisters-in-law were giving birth.

Now it's his turn, and he has become like this too.

He began to think, should he have a second child in the future? This is too much trouble.

Many times, Jiang Sui was in so much pain and cried so miserably that he couldn't help but rush in, but was stopped.

Finally, at midnight, the sound of a baby crying was heard. The child's cry was very loud, and it was obvious that he was a healthy little guy...
