Chapter 170 Hundred-Day Banquet
Zhao Yu was startled. "Chu Mian, what's wrong?"
Xu Chumian moved her lips, looked at Zhao Yu, and for some reason, suddenly asked, "Am I not as pretty as I used to be?"
Zhao Yu pulled the person into his arms.
"How could you say such a thing? In my eyes, you have always been the most beautiful, both before and now."
Before her pregnancy, Xu Chumian exuded a youthful innocence, but now, after giving birth, she is alluring and languid in every gesture.
Xu Chumian pursed her lips. "I haven't left the manor for a long time."
Since becoming pregnant, her pregnancy has been unstable, and she has spent most of her time in the ward. Now that her child has been born, she still has to continue her postpartum confinement.
Perhaps it was because of that maid that Xu Chumian's emotions erupted today.
Zhao Yu consulted a doctor who advised that attention should be paid to a woman's emotional well-being not only before and after childbirth.
Zhao Yu's eyes were filled with worry and heartache. He hugged Xu Chumian and kissed her cheek, repeatedly saying sorry.
Xu Chumian was just feeling unwell due to emotional distress, and after Zhao Yu comforted her a few times, she recovered.
Xu Chumian sniffed, feeling somewhat embarrassed. She pushed Zhao Yu away, saying, "I want to sleep. Go away."
Zhao Yu kissed her neck, making Xu Chumian feel ticklish.
His voice was low and husky, "I'll sleep with you tonight, okay? We won't do anything, I'll just stay with you."
After a long pause, Xu Chumian nodded.
Xu Chumian covered herself with a blanket, and Zhao Yu slept beside her. He held Xu Chumian in his arms and talked for a long time in the night, making her blush and completely forgetting all other thoughts. Only then did Zhao Yu breathe a sigh of relief.
He kissed Xu Chumian's forehead. "Go to sleep."
Xu Chumian blinked, her gaze drifting towards Zhao Yu's lower body.
Zhao Yu covered her eyes. "There's nothing there."
Xu Chumian obediently replied with an "oh".
Zhao Yu felt extremely hot.
A moment later, Xu Chumian asked, "He'an, do you need my help?"
Zhao Yu wasn't so dissolute as to need his wife, who was in postpartum confinement, to take care of his physical needs.
He held Xu Chumian's hand and kissed it.
"No need, you can rest assured."
Zhao Yu got up and went to the bathroom. After a long while, he returned to bed, still damp from the water.
Days passed by one after another.
Zhao Yu leaves early every day and tries to return as early as possible.
Xu Chumian had been waiting for a long time, and finally the time for her to finish her postpartum confinement was approaching.
However, she is physically weak, and the doctor advised her to rest more, get plenty of rest on weekdays, and try to keep a cheerful and happy mood with less worry.
In addition, if you want to have sex, you have to wait at least two or three months.
Xu Chumian followed the doctor's orders, and even when she went for a walk, she stayed in Heyun Courtyard, where Zhao Yu was already sleeping in the same bed with her.
The couple's daily entertainment consists of holding their son and playing with him on the bed.
Xiaoge'er couldn't understand his parents' words; he just liked to clap his hands and laugh, and he liked to sleep on his mother's chest.
Xu Chumian adored this child.
Xiao Ge'er has a good personality; it's the best gift God has given her.
The wet nurse quickly took Xiaoge'er to bed, and Xu Chumian wiped herself and lay down on the bed as well. Zhao Yu soon came out of the bathroom.
It has been more than 20 days since Xu Chumian finished her postpartum confinement period.
Zhao Yu endured it all and never let Xu Chumian help him solve the problem.
However, after the couple exchanged a few words that night, Zhao Yu loosened his grip on Xu Chumian slightly.
At first, Xu Chumian didn't react. Then she turned her body towards Zhao Yu and noticed something unusual. She stiffly moved away.
Zhao Yu chuckled softly in her ear, "First Sleep."
Xu Chumian's ears were burning hot.
She lay on her side and said softly, "Why don't you go to the bathroom?"
Zhao Yu pulled her directly into his arms, even gripping her waist tightly, and then squeezed Xu Chumian's hand.
The tone was one of inquiry after another.
"First sleep?"
Xu Chumian turned around and met Zhao Yu's eyes, which were filled with hidden desire. Even though nothing had been done yet, her face turned excessively red.
She bit her lip and didn't say anything.
Silence is taken as tacit consent.
The room was dark, with no lights on.
Zhao Yu held Xu Chumian tightly the whole time.
After a long while, Zhao Yu went to fetch a basin of hot water.
The man was in a great mood after he was satisfied. He cleaned Xu Chumian up and wiped the fine sweat from her forehead.
After everything was tidied up, Zhao Yu lay down beside her again.
This is the only time since you became pregnant.
Xu Chumian covered his lips, "Don't say anything."
Zhao Yu removed her hand and kissed it.
"We'll have to wait another two months."
Xu Chumian's face was burning hot. She leaned against Zhao Yu's chest without saying a word.
Before long, the man started playing with Xu Chumian's feet again.
Xu Chumian felt like her whole body didn't belong to her anymore.
This time, she stopped Zhao Yu.
"no!"
Zhao Yu leaned on her shoulder. "I know, I just wanted to give you a massage."
Xu Chumian narrowed her eyes slightly, "Really?"
After all, Zhao Yu had already tried some of these tricks many times in his previous life.
Xu Chumian didn't believe his words were that simple.
Xu Chumian snorted softly, not wanting to pay any attention to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu sighed softly and hugged his wife tighter.
"First sleep..."
Xu Chumian couldn't help but laugh, "What did you call me for?"
Zhao Yu turned the person over and whispered, "Thank you."
Thank you, Xu Chumian, for still being willing to give him a home.
Xu Chumian stroked his face with her hand, "Go to sleep."
Zhao Yu was far from sleepy; his mind was filled with thoughts of doing unspeakable things with Xu Chuming in his arms.
Xu Chumian was utterly speechless.
Zhao Yu detained the man tightly and began counting down the days.
Soon it was Zhao Xiao's 100-day celebration.
The Duke of Zhao's mansion held a grand celebration, and the emperor, the crown prince, and Princess Rongchang all sent gifts.
The emperor's gift was a longevity lock inlaid with jade and made of pure gold.
The crown prince presented her with a miniature set of the Four Treasures of the Study.
Rongchang not only prepared gifts for his nephew, but also for his sister.
Rongchang is no longer the Mumu who needed to be protected by her older sister.
Rongchang is now a prefect, and he has grown a lot in the past year.
Rongchang teased Xiaoge'er, his eyes full of smiles, "Xiaoge'er."
Xu Chumian was dressed in a long, smoky purple dress for her social engagement today. She was dressed more warmly than the average person, and her features were gentle and delicate. All the women who saw Xu Chumian's face couldn't help but feel envious.
