Chapter 635 Am I about to give birth?
"Sister-in-law, you've recovered really well. Take good care of yourself during the confinement period and you'll be back in shape soon." Xiao Jiuyue took Cui Yao's pulse specially and felt relieved.
"How can I not be okay with you taking care of me?" Cui Yao said with a smile: "After Mom came, I felt like a pig!"
"Sister-in-law, let alone you, even me. If Master hadn't told me not to grow the baby in my belly too big, I would have to eat six meals a day!" Xiao Jiuyue really felt that a mother's love was also heavy!
"I am the same now. Mother has taken such good care of me." Cui Yao's eyes curved with happiness. Which mother-in-law would take such meticulous care of a child during the confinement period?
"Sister-in-law, Chaochao is growing up day by day. He is growing so fast. He is not wrinkled at all like when he was just born." Xiao Jiuyue held the hand of little Chaochao. The little hand was like a chicken claw.
When Xiao Jialing named the child Chao Chao, Xiao Jiuyue jokingly said, "If we have another child, should we name him Mu Mu?"
"Yes, Chaochao is so soft. Look at his face, it's as soft as marshmallow!" Cui Yao had endless words to say when she mentioned her son. She gently touched Chaochao's face.
Xiao Jiuyue also touched it carefully: "It's more tender than an egg, softer than cotton!"
"So white and tender, so beautiful!" Xiao Jiuyue summed it up. Watching Chaochao grow up day by day, Xiao Jiuyue looked forward to the birth of the child more and more.
In the blink of an eye, it was September.
Under Su Su's meticulous care, Cui Yao had a very good confinement period and there was no need to worry at all.
Cui Yao and Xiao Jialing had their first argument over feeding the baby.
Xiao Jialing felt that it would be fine as long as the child had a wet nurse to take care of him, and Cui Yao only needed to take good care of her health.
But Cui Yao couldn't do that. She wanted to feed the baby herself. Finally, she managed to feed the baby during the day, and the wet nurse would bring the baby to her at night.
Sometimes Cui Yao was so sleepy at night that she didn’t even notice when the wet nurse came over with the baby to feed her.
Xiao Jialing stayed in Mingzhou for more than half a year, from spring sowing to autumn harvest. After more than half a year of hard work, he finally reaped the rewards!
Mingzhou's production has increased again!
Mingzhou has a good climate and plenty of fertile land. With good planting methods, grain production has increased significantly, and even insect pests have been reduced. The rice grains are plump!
Xiao Jialing is busy from morning until night, but he always stays with Cui Yao and the children, and the family of three is very happy.
Xiao Jiuyue was accompanied by her mother and originally wanted to go to Shengjing, but was stopped by her mother.
In Su Su's words: If you, a pregnant woman, really went to Shengjing and were captured, wouldn't the prince's son-in-law be restricted in what he could do?
So, Xiao Jiuyue stayed in Mingzhou to take care of her pregnancy. It just so happened that seeing Chaochao becoming more and more adorable every day, Xiao Jiuyue was in an extremely good mood.
Especially when Jun Lie's letter came to report that he was safe, Xiao Jiuyue felt much more relieved.
"Yuer, don't move, you're already so pregnant!"
Just as Xiao Jiuyue was about to walk around in the yard, Su Su stopped her and said, "Sit down for a while!"
Su Su looked at her big belly and was really worried that she might not be able to stand steadily.
"Mom, I'm about to give birth. I need to walk around more so that I can give birth easily!" Xiao Jiuyue walked slowly. She was about to give birth, and she felt her body getting heavier and heavier!
"Then..." Su Su supported her and said, "No matter what time, you can't leave someone by your side!"
"Donggui, Huaqing and Luokui are all here." Xiao Jiuyue looked at Donggui and the others who were facing a formidable enemy. Since her belly grew bigger day by day, Huaqing even stopped fiddling with the medicine and just stayed with her when she had nothing to do!
Sometimes Xiao Jiuyue feels like she is a rare animal in the zoo!
"When you have a baby, you must reward them well." Su Su was extremely grateful for their efforts.
"Of course. Even if we treat others unfairly, we can't treat them unfairly!" Xiao Jiuyue said with a smile, "By the way, mother, haven't you received any letters from Shengjing? Last time they said that father went as an envoy?"
"That's right, your father went to negotiate with the Yongzhao people!" Su Su supported her as they walked slowly, saying, "Your father is very eloquent and can talk a living person into death. He will definitely not let us suffer any loss!"
"If this war really breaks out, the common people will be the ones who suffer!" Su Su felt worried when she thought of the war.
"Don't worry, the Yongzhao people won't fight." Xiao Jiuyue said with a smile: "I received a letter from Jun Lie a few days ago. He said that the Yongzhao army couldn't even break through Jinzhou, let alone take several cities and reach Shengjing."
"The Yongzhao Army in Shengjing has now occupied the imperial palace. They will lose sooner or later if they can't wait for reinforcements!" When Xiao Jiuyue received this news, he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Nanyue is not defeated, it doesn't matter!
"That's good." Su Su couldn't help but feel happy after hearing this, and said, "Yuer, you will give birth in a few days. You can't run around during the confinement period. Even if we can return to Shengjing, we will have to wait a while."
Xiao Jiuyue: "..."
"Postpartum illness is no joke. If you don't take good care of your body, how can you survive?"
Su Su looked at her seriously.
Cui Yao, who came with her child, agreed and said, "Mom is right. If you don't take good care of yourself during the confinement period, you will be left with a lifelong illness!"
"Oh, Chaochao, grandma's darling grandson." Su Su was so happy to see the child in the wet nurse's arms that she couldn't stop smiling!
Chaochao, who grew taller during the confinement period, has become a big fat boy now. His arms are as white and plump as lotus roots. It’s hard to bear to let go of him just by looking at him!
Su Su teased her grandson and said, "Yuer, you are also a doctor. Even if Shengjing drives out the Yongzhao people, it will take some time for the situation to calm down!"
"Once we return to Shengjing, I'm afraid the prince won't have time to accompany you!"
Su Su was afraid that she would force her way back to Shengjing, so she spoke one sentence at a time.
"Mom, I won't go back. I'll wait until I give birth and finish my confinement before going back!" Xiao Jiuyue smiled helplessly. She just said it casually and didn't say that she was really in such a hurry to go back?
As long as Jun Lie, Daddy, and Grandma are safe, it’s okay to meet again later!
“Ouch…”
Suddenly, Xiao Jiuyue covered her stomach with her hands, looking distressed, and said, "Am I about to give birth?"
"Well, isn't there still more than half a month left?" Su Su saw her expression and said quickly, "Quick, go get Elder Wang and the midwife."
Su Su gave instructions in an orderly manner and asked the maid to prepare hot water.
Donggui went straight forward and carried Xiao Jiuyue to the room, while Huaqing went to ask for a midwife!
Luo Kui led people to boil water and clean the house!
"Mom, don't worry, Yue'er will give birth safely!" Cui Yao also hurried over. Su Su was afraid that she could not hold the child steadily, so she carefully handed the child to the wet nurse and then ran quickly towards Xiao Jiuyue's yard.
