Jinzhu was about to leave with the others when Su Xuening called out to Bai Shi, "Mother, don't forget to let Xuanyuan Zhan know we're safe and sound, so he won't worry about us."
Xuanyuan Zhan must know that she and her mother were imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison in the North. He must be very worried about them. I wonder if he has finished his business in the North. I heard that the Northern Rong have invaded the Northern Border. If the war with the Northern Rong ends, Xuanyuan Zhan will definitely rush back to the capital to rescue her and her mother.
However, now that Xuanyuan Yu and Xuanyuan Zhi have accused Xuanyuan Zhan of treason, it may not be so easy for Xuanyuan Zhan to return to the capital. That's why she wants her mother to regain her memory. If they can get the support of the Su family army, then they will have nothing to fear.
Madam Bai nodded: "Mother will arrange these things."
Even if Ning'er doesn't mention it, she will find a way to write to Zhan'er when she gets back to her room.
Their trip to Xiliang was so rushed that if she hadn't believed it, Zhan'er would never have imagined that they were already in the Xiliang palace. Perhaps Zhan'er was still trying to find a way to get back to the capital of Dongchu as soon as possible to rescue her and Ning'er.
I don't know if Xuan Yuanzhi and Xuan Yuanyu will cover up the news of their escape. If they use her and Ning'er to threaten Zhan'er, Zhan'er will suffer a great loss. So I must write to Zhan'er as soon as possible to explain the situation and let her know that we are safe!
Seeing that Su Xuening looked preoccupied and worried about Xuan Yuanzhan, Madam Bai quickly comforted her, "Child, you don't need to worry about anything now. Just take good care of yourself and have a proper postpartum recovery. If you don't take good care of yourself during your postpartum period, you'll suffer from health problems for the rest of your life."
Bai truly felt sorry for Su Xuening.
If Xuanyuan Peng hadn't done that, Zhan'er wouldn't have left the capital. Their whole family would have been safe and sound in the capital. She had already made proper arrangements for Ning'er's delivery. Not only were midwives and wet nurses arranged in advance, but several nannies were also prepared to take care of Ning'er during her postpartum period.
If Ning'er had given birth safely in the Holy King's Mansion, she wouldn't have had to endure such a bumpy and arduous journey. Now that they have safely arrived in Xiliang, it is not their own territory after all, so even if she wanted to make arrangements, she wouldn't know where to start.
Duanmu Junyu noticed Bai's worry and quickly said, "Don't worry, we in Xiliang have a lot of experience in postpartum care, and we will take good care of her health."
Xiliang is a matriarchal society that values everything about women, and childbirth is of paramount importance. So, not only are the midwives in the palace very skilled at postpartum care, but there are also many experts in postpartum care among the common people.
Xue Ning is in their Western Liang Imperial Palace; she will definitely make sure they take good care of her during her postpartum period!
Lady Bai bowed gratefully to Duanmu Junyu, saying, "Thank you so much. I'll leave Ning'er in Your Majesty's care."
Duanmu Junyu helped Bai Shi up: "Xue Ning is my daughter, this is what I should do, you don't need to be so polite with me."
Bai could tell that Duanmu Junyu genuinely cared about Su Xuening and Su Yun'an. These were her own children; she was certain she could take good care of them. What else could she possibly worry about?
Even if she was really worried, this wasn't Dongchu, nor was it the Holy King's Mansion, so there was nothing she could arrange and she could only rely on Duanmu Junyu.
In fact, Bai's worries were unnecessary. Even if Duanmu Junyu didn't care about Su Xuening, there was still Pei Luo and You Yi.
Although they weren't gynecological experts and didn't specialize in women's childbirth, they could still help their apprentices improve their health.
However, now that the Queen of Xiliang says that the people of Xiliang are very skilled at postpartum care, they naturally don't need to worry about it anymore.
Jinzhu led Bai Shi and Pei Luo to choose a side hall. It has to be said that Fengming Palace is really quite large, and there are quite a few side halls. Even if Bai Shi and the others each choose a side hall, it is enough for everyone to live in.
As soon as Bai returned to her room, she wrote a letter to Xuan Yuanzhan to let him know she was safe, and then sent it out using the special mail owl of the Holy King's Mansion.
Watching the owl fly high out of the palace, Lady Bai secretly prayed that Xuan Yuanzhan would receive her letter as soon as possible.
If Zhan'er knew that Ning'er had given birth safely, and that both mother and child were safe, he would be very happy. I wonder if he would come to Xiliang to join them.
The main hall of Fengming Palace.
After Bai and the others left, only Duanmu Junyu and her two children remained in the main hall.
Su Xuening glanced at the sleeping child beside her and said to Duanmu Junyu, "Would Mother like to come and see him?"
It seems like his mother hadn't really looked at him properly just now.
Duanmu Junyu went over and sat down on the edge of the bed. Looking at the sleeping child next to Su Xuening, a rare tenderness appeared on her face: "He looks a lot like you. Is he a boy?"
"Mmm." Su Xuening nodded and gently stroked Xiao Bao's fair and tender face.
Do you want to feed him yourself?
"Yes, I want to feed him myself." Perhaps because of the debt she owed in her past life, Su Xuening wanted to feed Xiaobao herself and didn't want him to drink anyone else's milk, not even a wet nurse.
Duanmu Junyu did not object, nor did she feel there was anything wrong with it: "Then when the baby wakes up in a while, I will have someone come and help you with breastfeeding."
In fact, Xiliang places great importance on childbirth. Although Xiliang has wet nurses, it strongly encourages mothers to breastfeed their children. Firstly, their own colostrum is more nutritious, and secondly, breastfeeding strengthens the bond between mother and child.
Therefore, Su Xuening wanted to feed herself, and Duanmu Junyu supported this.
"Thank you, Mother." Su Xuening could feel Duanmu Junyu's care for her.
She could also tell that although her mother had lost her memory, she still cared about her and Yun'an.
Duanmu Junyu stared at Xiaobao's eyebrows, which resembled her own, and suddenly realized that this child was her grandson.
She lost twenty years of her memory; she had no memory of even her two children. Yet, she suddenly found herself with a grandson. It was a truly strange feeling.
Have you named him yet?
Su Xuening nodded: "When he was born, the sun was rising, so I named him Xuanyuan Xi."
Upon hearing the surname "Xuanyuan," Duanmu Junyu frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with Xiaobao's surname. However, she did not make any judgments about the child's surname, simply saying, "Xi represents morning light and hope; it's a good name."
Su Xuening smiled and gently stroked Xiao Bao's little face.
Xiao Bao is her ray of sunshine and hope, her salvation in this life!
Xiao Bao woke up after a short while and nuzzled towards Su Xuening, as if he wanted to nurse.
Duanmu Junyu immediately called a midwife to help Su Xuening start breastfeeding.
Before long, Xiao Bao was able to drink the milk as he wished.
Su Xuening was in a lot of pain when she started breastfeeding, but she endured it willingly.
The baby in her arms seemed to be everything to her, and at that moment she finally understood the meaning of motherhood.
Just as Xiao Bao was drinking milk, Jin Zhu came in to report: "Your Majesty, Prince Hui requests an audience."
