Chapter 136
Although he didn't like this job very much, what could he do? This was his own son.
Lu Xiaobai took the child with a pout, and Ling Si immediately turned around and went out.
He knew that if he saw something he shouldn't see here, his master would definitely find ways to punish him.
After Ling Si left, Lu Xiaobai slowly took off his clothes, blushed, and asked Huai Jin to eat, while He Qin sat on the side and watched eagerly.
Lu Xiaobai: ...
"Can you please stop looking at this? Why are you staring at this kind of thing?"
He Qin looked at He Huaijin with some jealousy, and asked unhappily after hearing this: "Can't I watch it?"
Lu Xiaobai blushed and nodded: "The look in your eyes makes me feel that you don't respect me."
He Qin: "I do want to."
But your body is not able to do it for now.
Hearing this, Lu Xiaobai's face turned even redder. He ignored He Qin and carefully changed the direction of the baby Huaijin who was breastfeeding, letting him feed from the other side.
Eat a little from both sides, so that he won’t be so upset that he has to ask He Qin for help.
Huai Jin was very well behaved. He fell asleep right after eating. Lu Xiaobai lay down with him and slept. He Qin went out for no one knew what he was doing.
Lu Xiaobai didn't get enough sleep in the morning and was feeling drowsy. Suddenly he heard a sound at the door. He opened his eyes and found Xiao Huang and Feiyun standing at the door together. When Xiao Huang saw him open his eyes, he immediately rushed in.
Lu Xiaobai quickly shouted: "Xiao Huang didn't go out to play today?"
Xiao Huang stood happily beside the bed, stretched his neck and rubbed his big head against Huai Jin. Worried about waking up his little master, he didn't make a sound and just kept turning around happily.
There were too few entertainment options here, and Lu Xiaobai was quite bored lying in bed. Seeing Xiao Huang was also very happy, he smiled and asked, "Why are you so happy? This is my child. You like him so much, why don't you find a goose to have a litter with?"
Xiao Huang stopped rubbing against Huai Jin immediately. Feiyun outside the door had sharp eyes. He Qin also came back, and Xiao Huang ran out immediately.
When passing by the door, he was "rewarded" by He Qin and kicked in the butt.
Lu Xiaobai said unhappily: "I feel like you always target Xiao Huang."
He Qin put down the candy in his hand and said, "I don't have any. It's too untidy and will make the room dirty."
Lu Xiaobai looked at the clean floor of the room and knew that He Qin was talking nonsense again.
Although Xiao Huang loves to poop, it is now a big goose and is much better than when it was a child. Moreover, Xiao Huang goes to the pond to take a bath every day. Its body is white and shiny and not dirty at all.
Lu Xiaobai ignored He Qin, opened his mouth, put the candy that He Qin brought him, and then lay down to sleep.
In the afternoon, Lingyi and a few others came back.
Standing at the door, he reported today's situation to him: "Master, all the seeds have been taken away by the emperor's people."
He Qin was worried about waking up Lu Xiaobai, so he quickly got up and went outside: "Can you guarantee it's safe?"
Ling nodded: "Yes."
The emperor is very strategic, so these things are no problem at all. Every soldier who comes is a trusted elite, and there is also General Meng.
General Meng said that these seeds did not need to be transported to the imperial city, but could be distributed directly to various places for planting.
Therefore, he did not have time to meet his master and General Meng, so he took the seeds and left.
The safety of the seeds is the most important thing. Now that there is no need to worry about it, He Qin can finally let go of his worries.
Now, he can concentrate on living with Xiaobai.
It doesn't matter whether you stay in Lujia Village or follow Xiaobai to his hometown.
All matters were resolved, and thinking of Lu Xiaobai again, He Qin's expression softened and he said, "Go and rest."
Seeing He Qin about to enter the room, Lingyi hurriedly said, "Master!"
He Qin turned around, his face instantly darkening: "What's the matter?"
Lingyi clasped his fists and said, "Could you please let me take a look at the young master?"
He Qin thought about it, turned around and went into the house to carry Huai Jin out.
Huaijin was sleeping soundly and didn't wake up even when he was picked up. He lay in the cradle, looking fair and tender, so cute.
Lingyi smiled and wanted to reach out and touch his little face, but He Qin turned around and held the child and said, "This is my son. If you want, you can marry and have children. I won't restrict your freedom to marry."
After He Qin finished speaking, he carried Huai Jin into the room.
Lingyi's smile froze on his face instantly. Thirteen shook his head and sneered, "How pitiful."
Lingyi turned around angrily. Thirteen was not afraid of him and sneered, "What are you looking at? I have already applied to the master and will leave here in three days."
Thirteen sat on a small stool at the side, eating the sunflower seeds that Lu Xiaobai had given him. Without waiting for Lingyi to ask, he said, "I'm going to the Beili Palace to be an informant and I'm never coming back."
Ling was stunned for a moment. At that moment, he felt indescribably strange.
He should be happy that the clingy guy is gone, but why does he seem not so happy?
Thirteen finished his melon seeds, stood up, smiled and said, "Are you satisfied now?"
After saying that, Thirteen ran to the pergola to warm himself by the fire with everyone.
Only Lingyi stood in the yard, not moving for a long time.
He Qin looked at the people in the yard from the window, sneered, and turned around to see Lu Xiaobai sitting on the bed staring at him.
He quickly took the child in his hands and placed him in his arms.
Lu Xiaobai took the child and put him down and asked, "Are you bullying Brother Lingyi?"
"No."
He Qin quickly denied: "I'm just helping him."
It’s true that Lingyi likes Lu Xiaobai, but the time he spent with Lu Xiaobai was too short. Perhaps it was because he had been living a life of killing, and after meeting Lu Xiaobai, he felt that he had been respected and redeemed.
But Lu Xiaobai doesn't belong to him. If he doesn't let him get out of this situation as soon as possible, He Qin is worried that Lingyi will do something extreme after a long time.
Moreover, judging from Lingyi's appearance, he does have feelings for Shisan, so he can try to bring them together. As for whether it will succeed, it depends on them.
Lu Xiaobai nodded: "That's fine."
If Lingyi always has Lu Xiaobai in his heart, living here is indeed suffering and he really needs someone to comfort him.
Moreover, they are not in power now and even have the opportunity to leave here, so He Qin will not be in danger and they can fall in love independently.
Almost everyone heard what was said today, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy for the next three days.
Thirteen never spoke to Lingyi again, and even moved his quilt and switched rooms with Lingsan. He lived alone in the barn room, and Lingyi slept in the same room with Lingsan again.
These past few days, Lingyi was in a very delicate mood, and from time to time his mind flashed back to the image of Thirteen grabbing the corner of his clothes when he was a child.
All of them who served as secret guards were unwanted orphans, including Thirteen, who was only five years old when he was picked up. His first training task was to poison his companions in their food.
Thirteen was very scared and pulled at his clothes, asking him if he could not do it.
All the children in training killed their companions in order to survive, and only Thirteen wanted to leave.
But if he left there he would surely die. It was Lingyi who forced him, grabbing his hand and personally putting the poison in the bowl of his new friend.
It was he who forced the kind-hearted Thirteen into a bad boy who no longer felt guilty about murder and arson.
And now, Thirteen is going to Beili to be an informant.
Informants are the most trustworthy among spies and their information is the most accurate, but the price they pay is also quite high, not only their lives but also their dignity.
Generally speaking, they become slaves or even concubines of high-ranking officials.
But in these three days, Lingyi didn't say a word to keep him.
Three days later, Thirteen got up and left Lujia Village without saying goodbye to anyone.
At that moment, Lingyi panicked.
My hands were shaking when I was holding the chopsticks while eating.
Lu Xiaobai couldn't see the situation outside from his room. When He Qin entered, he immediately asked, "What's going on?"
He Qin shook his head helplessly, sat at the table with a pen and paper and began to practice calligraphy: "Thirteen is gone."
"Gone?"
Lu Xiaobai sighed in disappointment and said nothing more.
The next morning, before daybreak, Lingyi knelt at their door and said, "Master, I want to go look for Thirteen."
Lu Xiaobai had a very light sleep after giving birth to the child. He opened his eyes at the same time as He Qin when he heard the sound, and then heard He Qin say, "Go."
Lu Xiaobai smiled with the corners of his mouth curved: "It seems that Brother Lingyi still likes Thirteen."
He Qin kissed Lu Xiaobai on the cheek and said, "He must have someone he likes. Thirteen has been following him for ten years."
"As long as you like it."
As long as he can recognize his inner self, Brother Lingyi won't be so sad.
Lu Xiaobai finally put his mind at ease.
He happily reached out to hug He Qin and rubbed his head against his chest. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked up and asked, "Where's Huai Jin?"
He Qin was also stunned. The two of them hurriedly sat down on the edge of the bed and felt around. Sure enough, they felt Huai Jin, who was alone. She wasn't even covered with a blanket, and her swaddling clothes were cold.
Fortunately, he was wearing enough clothes and a thick swaddling cloth, so he wouldn't be cold even without a blanket, but he just looked pitiful.
Lu Xiaobai quickly carried the person over and said to He Qin, "I think we shouldn't ignore him too much."
After all, it's their child. It's not good to just leave him aside like this.
He Qin nodded solemnly: "Yes, sure."
Lu Xiaobai finally felt relieved, hugged Huai Jin and snuggled up with He Qin and continued to sleep.
Time passed quickly, and Lu Xiaobai was about to leave the confinement period. He was almost worn out from lying in bed every day.
Xiao Baicai clearly said that he didn't need to stay in confinement after childbirth, but He Qin was worried and insisted that he do so.
Fortunately, Huai Jin is very well behaved. Except for eating and going to the toilet, he usually sleeps and never bothers Lu Xiaobai.
This made Lu Xiaobai feel a lot more relaxed and he liked him even more.
——
That night, Lu Xiaobai sat on the bed with red eyes and a tantrum: "No, I won't sit anymore. I want to take a shower, I want to wash my hair, I want to go to the toilet by myself, I don't want you to hold me, give me back my shoes!"
Lu Xiaobai's voice was so loud that even Xiao Huaijin was woken up by him. However, he had just finished feeding and was not hungry, so he just lay aside and watched them fight.
He Qin threw Lu Xiaobai's shoes outside the door. He stood in front of the bed and said, "It's over in nine days. Just bear with it. Be good, come and I'll carry you to the toilet."
"don't want!"
Lu Xiaobai dodged He Qin's hand and cried, "It's been more than 20 days. If I don't walk now, my legs will be broken. I want to go by myself."
Besides, the weather is not so cold now, and there is sunshine every day. He can take a bath at noon without suffering like this.
He Qin frowned. People here, whether boys or girls, would stay in confinement after giving birth, because their bodies were at their weakest during the confinement period. If they didn't take good care of themselves, they would easily get sick in the future.
He Qin couldn't bear to see Lu Xiaobai suffer in the future, so he never let him do anything that was not allowed.
But after enduring for more than twenty days, Lu Xiaobai really couldn't stand it anymore and refused to do it.
Especially every time I go to the toilet, it’s so embarrassing!
"Can't."
The two were in a stalemate when suddenly a female voice was heard.
Female voice?
Where did the woman come from in their family?
They were both startled and looked towards the door at the same time. They saw the Queen Mother, dressed in ordinary clothes, standing at the door with a smile on her face. She said to Lu Xiaobai, "Be good, Xiaobai. Let He Qin carry you away. Mother will reward you with something delicious later."
Seeing the Queen Mother, He Qin immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, I am honored to meet you. I beg your forgiveness for not coming to greet you."
The Queen Mother raised her hand and helped He Qin up, saying, "It's not your fault. I came here on my own. And since you are living as a commoner now, I am also a commoner. Just call me mother."
Lu Xiaobai was stunned. Why did the empress dowager come to the countryside instead of staying in the imperial city?
"Mother."
Lu Xiaobai shouted, not wanting to care why the Queen Mother came, he still wanted to go to the toilet.
But He Qin was still talking to the Queen Mother, so he could only secretly stick out his legs, blushing and keeping silent.
He Qin came over soon. With the Queen Mother around, he couldn't resist and let He Qin carry him to the toilet.
When they came back, Ling Er and the others had already paid their respects to the Queen Mother and had gone to help clean up Ling San's room, preparing it for the Queen Mother to live in.
Ling San continued to move to the granary.
As for Zero One and Thirteen, they never came back after they left.
The Queen Mother placed all the candies, supplements, and apples she brought on the table, then took one and said to Lu Xiaobai, "Show me Huai Jin, and I'll give you an apple."
Lu Xiaobai thought about it and handed Huai Jin directly to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother hugged Huai Jin contentedly and made him laugh happily.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, she received a letter from He Qin, and only then did she know that Lu Xiaobai had given birth on the night of New Year's Eve, and had given her a big fat grandson.
She was so happy that she quickly packed up her things and went to see her grandson.
I originally wanted to bring He Yu with me, but when He Yu heard that she was going to find her second brother, she disappeared in an instant. She had to come by herself with her guards.
This was her first grandson, so precious. As soon as she held him tightly in her arms, she took out a longevity lock from the table and put it on him: "You are so good."
Lu Xiaobai sat on the bed, eating an apple while watching the Queen Mother coaxing the child. He also tugged at He Qin's sleeve and asked, "What if Mother is not used to country life?"
The Queen Mother is from the Feng family and has been spoiled since childhood. She probably can't get used to life in the countryside.
Before He Qin could answer, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "Of course I'm not used to it, but for the sake of my little grandson, I have to endure it. But don't worry, I'll stay for a few days and then leave."
Although the imperial city does not need her to handle matters, with her in charge of the harem, there will be less chaos in the palace.
Lu Xiaobai blushed instantly: "I, I'm not chasing you away, I'm just worried that you won't be able to get used to living here."
After all, the conditions here cannot be compared with those in the palace, they are too poor.
He has only gotten used to it now. You know, when he first came here, he wanted to leave all the time.
"I know, I know."
The Queen Mother understood. After holding her grandson for a while, she placed Huai Jin in Lu Xiaobai's arms and said, "It's late. Even if my old bones don't rest, you need to rest too. I'll come and play with him tomorrow. Now go to sleep."
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she was taken to her room by Ling Si to rest. The Queen Mother also brought a palace maid to serve her personally, so there was no need to worry about other problems.
When Lu Xiaobai saw the Queen Mother leave, before he could react to the Queen Mother's hurried coming and going, he felt his clothes being removed.
He looked down and found that He Qin was trying hard to feed Huai Jin.
Lu Xiaobai: ...
It was very late and Huai Jin fell asleep after feeding.
Lu Xiaobai lay beside He Qin. After abstaining from sex for over a month, he couldn't help himself and asked He Qin in a low voice, "You haven't asked this question recently. Is it because you can't do it anymore?"
Because he was worried about Lu Xiaobai's health, He Qin could only endure it no matter what he thought: "Don't make trouble."
Tell him to stop making trouble?
Why?
Lu Xiaobai is angry!
He thought about the reason carefully for a while, and finally figured it out. He touched his hair, his eyes instantly reddened, and asked, "Do you think I stink because I haven't washed my hair in 20 days?"
He Qin: “???”
In the faint moonlight, He Qin looked at Lu Xiaobai's shining eyes and pouting mouth, swallowed his saliva, bent down and kissed him, saying: "Be good, don't make trouble, you are not well yet."
Lu Xiaobai immediately protested: "Why am I not feeling well? I'm fine!"
He Qin: ...
Is this true?
