Chapter 201: Infallible
At this moment, seeing Xiao Qi about to pick up the brush to write, he found that the ink tray was dry and had no ink, "Grind some ink."
Then he turned around and gave instructions to his wife who was following him.
Hearing this, Xie Chenxing snorted and responded: "The prince just likes to send others to do things."
Having said that, she did not hesitate. She quickly rolled up her sleeves to reveal her slender white arms and began to work. However, she lacked the necessary water resources, so she had to call a maid named Huaguo to get it for her.
When the clear water was brought to him, Xie Chenxing immediately poured a few drops into the inkstone, then gently held the high-quality black ink stick with his fingers and slowly ground it.
As the movements gradually quickened, a rich yet refreshing scent of ink wafted into the air.
Grinding the ink took a long time, but it gave Xiao Qi more opportunities to think, and the room fell into silence.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the occasional bird calls and rustling of leaves outside the window became the only background music.
The air is filled with the faint scent of ink, making people feel relaxed and happy.
After a while, Xie Chenxing saw that there was enough ink, so he gently put the ink stick aside, and at the same time carefully shook off the few traces left on his hands.
Her series of subtle movements caught Xiao Qi's attention.
"Does such a small thing make you tired?"
He asked half jokingly.
"I am weak to begin with!"
She playfully retorted, using words she had heard from somewhere else before, with a hint of deliberate cuteness in her words.
Hearing this, Xiao Qi just shook his head, but a warm smile appeared on his face.
Finally, after repeated consideration, he seemed to have thought of a suitable name, so he picked up the brush on the pen holder, lightly dipped it in ink, slowly placed the tip close to the surface of a piece of spotless white rice paper spread out in front of him, and began to write quickly.
Seeing her husband start to write, Xie Chenxing couldn't wait to move forward a few steps, almost leaning to the edge of the table, her eyes closely following the meaningful words that were about to appear on the paper.
Xiao Qi first wrote the word "Huan"; after a brief pause, and waiting for the wet part he had just written to dry a little, he carefully put this precious work aside, then re-moistened the tip of the pen, and then wrote the word "Kang" on another blank space.
In most families, naming offspring often carries parents' many good wishes for their children's future.
Just like Xie Chenxing's name, the word "Chenxing" contains her family's wish for her to be safe and healthy.
Precisely because it carries such a beautiful meaning, when she moved to the Li Mansion, she named her residence "Ping'anyuan".
In contrast, the "Yunfan Polang" in the elder brother's name expresses the family's expectation that he will be able to ride the wind and waves and achieve great things in the business field.
Looking at the new name that had just been made on the table, Xie Chenxing commented softly: "It seems that the prince hopes that our little princess can have an optimistic and cheerful heart and grow up healthily."
After hearing his wife's words, Xiao Qi immediately put down the brush he had been holding for a long time, and stretched out his arms to Xie Chenxing as if he wanted to hug him.
The latter hesitated for only a moment before throwing himself into that strong embrace. The two of them stared at the two Chinese characters on the desk that were still slightly moist and shiny - "joy" and "health".
The little girl born to concubine Jiang has been plagued by urinary diseases since childhood. When she grows up, she will inevitably become the topic of people's gossip, which will naturally have a significant impact on her future character formation.
The daughter of another lady named Cui also inherited this fragile physique. It can be said that both of them need special care in order to grow up safely.
The choice of names for these two future little masters just makes up for some important qualities that they each lack.
Regarding this arrangement, Xiao Qi said calmly and firmly: "Since we are born into this world, no matter what challenges or difficulties we face, we should do our best to take good care of every precious life."
"The prince really has a kind fatherly heart."
Xie Chenxing quickly said in a flattering manner, with a flattering smile on his lips.
After hearing this, Xiao Qi smiled. He lowered his head and looked at the beauty in his arms, and said gently, "If that's the case, then you can give me a baby too, and I will love her dearly."
Hearing this, Xie Chenxing's face suddenly froze, a trace of panic arose in his heart, and a hint of nervousness was revealed in his eyes.
"I am still young. The doctor from Baicaotang came to carefully examine my physical condition and specifically told me that I need to wait another two years before considering having children."
She spoke quickly, fearing that the prince would not give her any room for maneuver. After all, in the past few years, the delivery processes of several ladies in the palace had not been smooth, and some even lost their lives.
If you want to improve your status through your children, you must ensure your own safety.
Xie Chenxing knew that if he wanted to live long in the palace, he had to act cautiously.
But she understood that if the prince really insisted on her having a child, then the situation would become extremely difficult - it meant that she could no longer continue to take the previous contraceptive pills; besides, the prince visited her frequently, and as long as she was in good health, pregnancy seemed to be a matter of sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Xiao Qi also felt that the problem was tricky, because at this moment countless eyes from the outside world were closely watching every move in the palace.
Especially when she knew that Xiao Xun still had no children, if she gave birth to a child at this time, it might bring more unexpected risks and troubles.
Who can ensure that nothing will go wrong in such an environment?
After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Qi finally decided to sympathize with Xie Chenxing's concerns out of consideration for her personal safety, "Forget it, wait until you are two years older."
Hearing this, the heavy stone hanging in Xie Sui's heart finally fell. She was ecstatic but expressed
She still acted very decently and replied, "Thank you for your tolerance, Your Majesty."
However, just when Xie Chenxing thought the topic had ended, Xiao Qi suddenly frowned and looked at her carefully, "I don't see you eat well usually, look at you now, you are so thin that only bones are left."
Xie Chenxing was not to be outdone and retorted, "Your Highness always makes fun of this, but look at Aunt Qing, she is so fat that she still can't win your favor, right? This shows that what you really prefer is a slender and beautiful figure like mine."
Her tone was full of confidence and mischief.
Aunt Qing has indeed gained a lot of weight in recent months due to the "confinement" period.
Her originally slender figure has now been replaced by a plump body, and she looks as if she has gained weight than before.
