Mrs. Qin was worried, so she sent Princess Rui home before taking Qin Hexuan home.
On the way back, Qin Hexuan couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what happened to my aunt's child?"
"Alas." Madam Qin sighed, "You know, your aunt finally got pregnant a few years ago. After ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to a daughter. The couple were so happy.
"I went to see the baby then, and he was so fair and tender, not to mention how adorable he was.
"Everything seemed fine at the time, but the baby died before I even left the confinement period.
"Prince Rui was furious at the time, and all those who were responsible for taking care of the child were punished.
"Your aunt was still in confinement at the time, and she fainted upon hearing the news. She was ill for several months before she could barely get out of bed.
"Since then, her health has been much worse than before."
Madam Qin sighed and said, "If the child had survived, he would be four years old now.
"Then you'll have a sister to play with, and you won't have to keep envying other girls!"
Qin Hexuan disagreed in his heart. Even if he had a younger sister, so what? Could she be as likable as Qingtian?
It's not like he hasn't seen girls of similar age from aristocratic families before.
Either they are spoiled and domineering, or they are controlled so much that they become stupid. They are not even a bit cute compared to a sunny day.
Mrs. Qin has actually been worried about her sister. As a princess, she has never had any children. Although Prince Rui still seems to be deeply in love with her, there is no guarantee that they can maintain this relationship in the future.
Since they didn't have children in their early years, everyone thought it was because the couple wanted to avoid suspicion.
But now that the princes have grown up, Prince Rui's mansion still has no children, and more and more people are gossiping about it.
When the Princess of Rui gave birth to a daughter, both the Wen family and Madam Qin were extremely happy.
Daughters are so wonderful, caring and non-threatening.
In the future, you can either find a live-in son-in-law or marry her off.
Who dares to neglect the prince's daughter?
Who knew that God was so blind that he would not even leave a daughter for the couple.
This time, the pomegranate skirt was specially made by her parents in order to bring some good omens to Princess Rui, hoping that she could have a son or daughter.
"Why did it suddenly die when it was born healthy?" Qin Hexuan asked in confusion.
"Silly child, do you think giving birth to and raising a child is such a simple matter?
"There are many risks from the moment of conception, and many children die before they even reach adulthood.
“It’s also possible to have a difficult birth.
“Even if the baby is born smoothly, it is easy for the baby to get sick.
“In the capital alone, countless children die every year.
"Those who can grow up smoothly have gone through a lot of hardships."
Madam Qin came out of the palace and comforted her sister for a long time. She leaned back feeling a little tired and sighed.
Qin Hexuan suddenly asked: "Did I also experience this when I was a child?"
Mrs. Qin was stunned by his question, and then sat up straight.
She recalled what happened back then, and a smile slowly formed on her lips.
"When I was pregnant with you, your father was still unemployed at home and was not given any important position!
"When they found out you were pregnant, your father said he hoped we could have a daughter, and then he would stay home and be a daughter slave."
"It's a pity that you're just as annoying to me as your two brothers." Madam Qin said, reaching out to pinch her son's cheek. "He vomits so violently, he throws up everything he eats, and even drinks a little water without retching.
"When your father saw me vomiting so much, he said, 'Well, it seems it's another brat.'
This was the first time Qin Hexuan knew that pregnancy could be like this. He frowned slightly and asked, "Will I vomit for a long time?"
"It's been about two to four months!" Mrs. Qin said, "All three of you brothers are like this."
After hearing this, Qin Hexuan suddenly felt touched.
Mrs. Qin's memory box was suddenly opened, and she continued, "It will be much better after getting through these two months.
"But the last two or three months before giving birth and during the confinement period happened to be the hottest time of the year, so I suffered a lot."
“When you were about to be born, the old man suddenly sent your father away on business.
"He said he would be back soon, but on the third day after leaving, before he even got to his destination, I started having sex at home.
"It was thanks to Nanny Jiang who informed your aunt and brought the doctor and midwife over. Otherwise, I don't know how much suffering mother would have had to endure!
"Then comes the confinement period. During this period, you can't stay in the cold or be exposed to the wind. In the hottest days of summer, the doors and windows must be closed tightly, and you can't take a bath.
"I have prickly heat rash all over my body, and it hurts when I sweat...
"By the time your father comes back, I'll be almost out of confinement."
Qin Hexuan became increasingly silent. It was the first time he realized how painful it was to be pregnant and give birth.
What Madam Qin didn't say was that because Princess Rui hurriedly invited a doctor and a midwife to the Qin Mansion, many people saw it and it caused a lot of rumors.
Old Master Qin felt that Princess Rui's behavior had lost his face, so he disliked Qin Songyin and his wife, and even disliked the newly born Qin Hexuan.
In the end, no one knew who gave him a bad idea, so he found an excuse of fate conflict and proposed to send the child away at Qin Hexuan's first birthday party.
Mrs. Qin couldn't help feeling a little sad when she said this. She raised her hand and gently stroked Qin Hexuan's hair and said, "It's all because my parents are incompetent. Back then, their words didn't work at all at home, so they let others manipulate them.
