Regardless of where Zhao Qinglin gave birth, the good news must be announced.
Letters were sent from the palace to the northeast, northwest, and north.
The next day, Prince Rui and his entourage arrived in Hongcheng.
The guards had already purchased a courtyard in the area.
Because it was a temporary residence and time was of the essence, the courtyard we found was not large, with only two courtyards.
The guards lived in the first courtyard, while Prince Rui and Zhao Qinglin lived in the second.
"Finally, I have a proper bed to lie on," Zhao Qinglin sighed deeply.
Lately, I've been constantly on the road, so I've enjoyed the scenery, but I'm definitely exhausted.
They walk very slowly and often have to sleep outdoors at night.
Even if you love the freedom outside, you're still human, not made of iron.
It's especially unfriendly to a pregnant woman who has to sleep outdoors all day.
Prince Rui felt very sorry for his wife. After Zhao Qinglin lay down, he got up again and asked someone to prepare hot water for her to take a bath.
Just as Prince Rui was about to offer some advice, Zhao Qinglin stopped him.
“My husband, I know you care about me. I also know about my health condition.”
You can wash after giving birth, but the water should be warmer.
The temperature in the room is alright now, let's call someone to bring some water. Ah, I really miss the bathroom at home.
This is inconvenient for everything. Let someone come and help me take a bath.
Then Prince Rui took care of the children while Zhao Qinglin went to take a bath.
In order to get clean without getting any gynecological diseases,
Zhao Qinglin took a shower this time, setting aside the water she had brought in and adjusting the water temperature.
Zhao Qinglin herself was standing in the bathtub.
I had the little girl take a gourd ladle and pour water over her head. Sure enough, this made washing her hair much easier.
The foam on my head was quickly rinsed off.
First, she took a large piece of clean cotton cloth and wrapped it around her hair.
After rinsing her body again, Zhao Qinglin didn't insist on scrubbing too hard.
If you get wet, just lather up with soap and rinse thoroughly.
The whole process, except for the time spent shampooing, took less than 15 minutes to wash my body.
I switched to a wooden tub to wash my feet, otherwise there would be just too much foam in the bathtub.
Since the family got a shower room, Zhao Qinglin has basically stopped taking baths. She always feels that it's too dirty.
Even if you take a bath occasionally, you should rinse yourself off first before soaking.
When Zhao Qinglin came out of the shower, wrapped in thick pajamas, her face was rosy and flushed, showing no signs of postpartum weakness.
Zhao Qinglin is not someone who will not listen to advice.
The moisture on her body had lessened, so she quickly changed into the thermal underwear Zhao Qingyan had given her. Then she put on well-fitting cotton pants and a cotton-padded jacket.
This outfit left Prince Rui completely stunned.
Not only that, but she was also wearing a pair of super thick wool socks.
After changing her clothes, Zhao Qinglin felt much more comfortable.
After all, short outfits are naturally more comfortable and look better than long skirts.
I dried my hair with a dry cloth, again and again.
Throughout the entire process, Prince Rui just stood there dumbfounded, watching his wife tidy up.
Unlike other women, Zhao Qinglin's hair had never been cut since birth.
Instead, he secretly cut it several times after reading many books from later generations.
Even so, her hair is now as long as her hips.
Faced with such long hair, Zhao Qinglin was starting to get restless.
However, since I'm currently in the presence of Prince Rui, I can't use scissors.
"Look at my son, he's so good. Wow, the baby's eyes are open."
Come here, call me "Mommy," I'm your mother. Remember that? You're so beautiful.
As she spoke, Zhao Qinglin picked up her son.
Little one, I wonder if he recognizes his mother's scent.
As soon as it entered Zhao Qinglin's arms, it began to nuzzle towards the granary.
Zhao Qinglin chuckled. Her son was hungry, and she couldn't let him suffer. She had to feed him first.
She told Prince Rui to turn around because she needed to feed the child.
Prince Rui's expression was quite interesting.
"You're my wife, don't I even have the right to look at you now?"
Zhao Qinglin smiled and said,
"You have the right, you always have the right, the question is, are you sure you won't have any thoughts after seeing it?"
In short, he made Prince Rui blush deeply.
Indeed, how could he forget that his wife is different from ordinary girls?
Sometimes he wondered if his wife even knew what shyness was.
Even if you lose the battle, you won't lose face. Who is Prince Rui?
He wouldn't let me watch, but he would anyway. He was especially jealous watching his son eat so heartily.
"Wife, let's find a wet nurse, that way you can have an easier time."
Zhao Qinglin shook her head, "No, let's not bring this up again. I don't trust anyone."
Unless you dislike me because I'm not as attractive after breastfeeding.
This is practically a death sentence; if Prince Rui dares to admit it, he's finished.
The end result was that the little guy ate and drank his fill and fell asleep between the two of them.
Then Zhao Qinglin went to sleep with her son.
Prince Rui's foolish father was standing to the side, glancing at his son one moment and then at his wife the next.
They compared the similarities between the two people back and forth.
The once ruthless and decisive Prince Rui now looked utterly foolish. He simply admired the mother and daughter for over an hour.
The little guy was still uncomfortable because he peed, and his wailing brought his silly father back to reality.
Upon learning that Prince Rui had come to stay in the city for a short time, the magistrate of Hongcheng County sent a formal invitation and paid his respects at the prince's door.
They brought a lot of nice things and also brought their daughter along.
Don't make your intentions too obvious.
The magistrate of Hongcheng County was still secretly thinking to himself how beautiful his daughter was.
Anyone who isn't blind will definitely fall for his daughter.
As a result, this attempt at flattery backfired.
Putting aside the fact that Prince Rui is determined not to take a concubine, the princess has just given birth, and you are sending her a woman. Whose face are you slapping?
Prince Rui naturally wouldn't give the other party any chance to have illusions.
"Lord Bai, what brings you to see me today? My queen just gave birth to my son yesterday."
"Lord Bai, it would be best to keep this brief. I still need to go and visit them, mother and child."
Suddenly, all the thoughts that Lord Bai had prepared in his mind seemed completely useless.
"Congratulations, Your Highness! I was unaware that Your Highness had been blessed with a son; this is truly my fault."
Luckily, I still have some ginseng and deer antler at home. I'll have someone deliver them to Your Highness later.
"Since Your Highness is busy, this humble servant will take his leave. Bai Ying, go back with your father."
With her father's reminder, Bai Ying finally snapped out of her reverie, captivated by Prince Rui's good looks.
"Yes, Father. Your Highness, I shall take my leave."
Even as he reached the door, he turned back for a final glance, just to imprint the image of Prince Rui in his mind.
Prince Rui's face was cold and stern. "Wei Ying," he said, "if Magistrate Bai comes to visit again, send him away."
If any medicinal herbs are delivered, be sure to check them before accepting them.
Wei Ying knew that Prince Rui had angered Magistrate Bai and his daughter.
