Wanruo turned her head away angrily, not paying any attention to his warning.
The two of them were in a stalemate for a while before he gritted his teeth and said, "Stay for another quarter of an hour at most."
She then hummed softly and walked happily to the front holding the plum blossoms: "I want to build a snowman."
She had a big belly and it was difficult for her to bend over, so of course it was impossible to let her pile up.
Xie Xianyu bent down with a gloomy face and rolled a snowball, making a snowman half a person's height for her.
He had never done such a childish thing since he was three years old!
Servants were busy coming and going in the garden from time to time, and when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but look at it twice in horror.
Xie Xianyu's face darkened. After her child was born, he would definitely punish her! He would let her know the price of arrogance!
"Okay." He finished building the snowman with a grim face.
She came up happily, her eyes sparkling: "This snowman is so beautiful!"
The sinister look between his brows dissipated slightly, and he snorted coldly.
She decorated it with plum blossoms and said, "I'll have someone move this snowman back to Songhe Garden and put it outside our bedroom window. It will be with me all winter long."
His eyes flickered slightly as he watched her carefully decorating the snowman. His heart seemed to be stirred, and the anger that had been choking him just now also dissipated for the most part.
He said with a sullen face, "It's time to go back."
Wanruo had already decorated the snowman, and her eyes curved with satisfaction: "Okay."
Qing'an and others carefully moved the snowman back to Songhe Garden and placed it outside the dormitory window.
Back at Songhe Garden, they entered the dormitory, where the warm heating air hit them in the face. He untied her thick cloak and touched her hand. Fortunately, it was warm.
She was holding the hot water bottle, so she didn't feel cold. However, the wind blew on her face, making it red like a red apple, making people want to take a bite.
He didn't feel wronged. He held her cheek and kissed her, and the remaining anger in his stomach dissipated completely.
After going to bed at night, Wanruo couldn't fall asleep. Maybe it was because she slept too much during the day, so she felt very energetic at night.
When she opened her eyes and saw the sleeping man in front of her, she suddenly wanted to take revenge.
She reached out and rubbed his face.
He never slept soundly, and would wake up at the slightest movement from her. He opened his eyes drowsily and said in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
She was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "I'm not feeling uncomfortable anywhere."
"Yeah." He felt relieved and held her in his arms again, ruffling her hair with his big hands. "Are you thirsty?"
"No."
"What's that?"
She stammered for a moment and suddenly couldn't answer.
She never asked him whether he loved her or not, because his love was so obvious that she never seemed to need confirmation.
She kept silent, and suddenly felt that it would be a bit hypocritical to ask. Maybe he would take advantage of her and feel proud for a long time. Thinking of this, it was not worth it.
He rubbed her face and asked, "What happened?"
She glared: "Who told you to always wake me up in the middle of the night?"
“…”
The warm atmosphere suddenly disappeared completely, he gritted his teeth, this little thing, even holds a grudge against me!
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Never mind. If she was pregnant, he wouldn't bother with her. But after she gave birth, he would definitely settle the score with her!
In a blink of an eye, New Year's Eve passed, the spring snow melted, and the sun gradually became warmer.
When the snowman outside the window gradually melted away, Wanruo's due date arrived.
"It hurts..."
It suddenly started in the middle of the night, and Xie Xianyu woke up immediately, shouting, "Someone! Bring the imperial physician and the midwife!"
Because the due date was approaching, the imperial physician and the midwife had already been allowed to stay in the mansion so that she could give birth at any time.
The maids rushed in, put up the screen, and brought in all the prepared birthing utensils. Soon, the imperial physician arrived and first took Wanruo's pulse to make sure that there was nothing wrong with her. Then he retreated behind the screen and let the midwife deliver the baby.
"Don't worry, Madam. The fetus is in the correct position and the cervix has begun to dilate. Everything is fine and you will be able to give birth smoothly!" The midwife comforted her.
But Wanruo still felt so painful that her face turned pale.
Xie Xianyu had been anxiously waiting outside the door, but when he heard Wanruo cry out in pain, he rushed in without a care in the world.
The midwife was shocked when she saw him come in, and hurriedly said, "You can't enter this delivery room..."
He shouted, "Do your best!"
The midwife didn't dare to say anything more.
Two maids held the quilt as Wanruo lay on the bed, sweating profusely. As the pain came in waves, her face turned pale.
He held her hands tightly with both of his, and stood by the bed, his heart aching from being squeezed.
He suddenly regretted not coming back earlier the day before because he was busy in the palace, so he didn't take her out for a walk, causing her to wait in vain.
He also regretted that half a month ago, she wanted to eat ice cream, but he didn't agree, which made her angry for half a day.
The midwife shouted, "Young Madam, push harder, it's almost there, almost there!"
Fortunately, Wanruo knew medicine, and even though she was in great pain, she knew how to push. She didn't eat too much before giving birth, and the baby wasn't very big, and the fetal position was right, so everything went smoothly.
An hour later, with the sound of a baby crying, the torture finally ended.
