Wen Zhu knows very well how important postpartum rest is for women.
Mother Su, who is experienced in this area and has personally helped my wife twice, naturally knows how to arrange nursing work reasonably to ensure the effect without making people feel restrained and bored.
She asked Wen Zhu to wrap soft, breathable cotton cloth tightly around her waist and abdomen, explaining that this would help the uterus return to normal faster.
Out of trust, Wen Zhu followed the advice and instructions without hesitation.
Five days later in the afternoon, the sun shone into the room, casting a warm glow.
At this time, Mother Su asked Su Yue and Su Qin to help Wen Zhu take a bath and clean himself.
"Those poor women live in horrible conditions without even the most basic heating facilities. They have to stay indoors all day and dare not go out. But it's completely different here. After washing your hair with warm water, you can blow it dry immediately. You don't have to worry about catching a cold or anything like that."
As she spoke, she skillfully instructed the two maids.
"My wife was in a similar situation before: sweating profusely, she couldn't stand the greasy, tangled hair, so she secretly asked me to help her wash her hair. Now it seems that the experience didn't have any adverse effects on her, and she looks much more energetic!"
Mother Su recalled with a smile.
After a thorough cleaning, Wen Zhu felt relaxed and comfortable all over his body. Even his sleep quality at night improved significantly. He slept soundly all night without dreams.
During this period, Fu Zhiyao spent almost every day in Chunhuayuan or Xuanheyuan, except for meeting guests.
Whether it is the sunlight during the day or the moonlight at night, you can see his figure coming and going in these two courtyards.
The Duke's wife said jokingly, "It's true that raising Bao-ge'er in Xuanhe Courtyard is the right decision. If he weren't here, I'm afraid you wouldn't stay here all day."
There was a hint of anger in her tone.
"Mother, you are wronging your son. You used to be always praying to Buddha, and you said that I often came and disturbed your peace. Now that Bao Ge'er is here, I can come to see you more often. Why are you unhappy?"
Fu Zhiyao responded with a smile, trying to defuse his mother's words with humor, but his heart was filled with tender concern for his family.
"Humph, you still dare to say that!"
The Duke's wife pretended to be angry and glared at her son, but her eyes were full of love. "If Bao Ge'er hadn't come, would you have come to me on your own initiative?!"
At this time, Baoger, who was lying on the bed, began to kick his little feet and made babbling sounds, as if he was echoing his grandmother's words.
"Did you hear that, Bao Ge'er? You agree with Grandma, don't you?"
When the Duke's wife heard the voice of her precious grandson, her face immediately lit up with a smile and she spoke cheerfully.
She reached out and gently touched Baoger's little face, her face full of happiness.
Fu Zhiyao looked at this scene and smiled helplessly, his eyes filled with infinite pampering and love.
After Wen Zhu gave birth, she spent about a month recuperating and her body has gradually recovered.
Now I no longer feel weak and bloated when I get out of bed and walk around.
Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, I carefully looked at the person in the mirror.
Her skin is smooth and delicate, as white as jade, and her complexion is rosy and healthy. She is less girlish and more mature than before giving birth.
She did not put on any makeup, but asked her maid Su Yue to help her comb her hair into a bun that was easy to maintain but still elegant, and fixed it with a pure white jade hairpin.
The whole process was very quick and natural, without any affectation.
After tidying her hair, Wen Zhu stood up and walked to the row of exquisite wardrobes in the corner of the room, from which she carefully selected a cherry blossom purple long skirt to put on.
The dress is soft and elegant in color, and it perfectly highlights her good figure when she wears it - her curves become more obvious, and her waist becomes more slender and flexible. Although the skirt seems a little tight around the chest and hips, it adds a different style and charm.
"It seems that Miss really needs to make some new and suitable clothes for herself."
Seeing this scene, Su Yue, who had followed closely for many years, couldn't help but chuckle.
"Yes, you're right. Let's see if there are any winter clothes that can be modified and still used. This will save resources and avoid waste."
Wen Zhu nodded in agreement and immediately gave his suggestions for handling the situation, demonstrating an attitude of thriftiness and housekeeping.
After completing all the preparations, Wen Zhu set out for Xuanheyuan to pay his respects to the ladies.
As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw the distinguished wife of the Duke sitting on a high seat, greeting him with a smile.
Seeing this, the old man immediately praised, "Oh, look at her, she's really getting more energetic. Manxiang, let's find an auspicious day and get this done. Let Huaijin take good care of our lovely Wenzhu."
Zhao Manxiang forced a smile and agreed, "Okay, in that case, I'll go back and check the imperial calendar to choose a good day to arrange this."
"I remember that the sixth day of the eleventh month is a good day. Taking a concubine doesn't require much preparation."
The Duke's wife said with a smile.
"Then let's set it for the sixth day of November."
Zhao Manxiang answered with a wry smile, with a hint of helplessness and unwillingness in her eyes.
Wen Zhu bowed and said, "Thank you, Madam, and thank you, Young Madam. Now that I'm out of confinement, please ask Madam Su to come back and take care of Madam."
She bowed her head respectfully, her tone full of humility and gratitude.
"Okay, we're used to each other's company. I really can't leave her."
The Duke's wife smiled warmly, her eyes revealing her trust and reliance on Mother Su.
"Madam, Young Madam, there is a small kitchen in Chunhua Courtyard that is designed to take care of the young master. Now that the young master lives in Xuanhe Courtyard and I am out of confinement, the small kitchen in Chunhua Courtyard should be removed."
Wen Zhu lowered his head and spoke, his voice filled with caution.
Having a small kitchen is of course convenient. You can just ask for what you want to eat. But even the eldest daughter of the mansion is not qualified to use the small kitchen, let alone her?
It was understandable that she received special care during her pregnancy and confinement, but it seemed inappropriate to keep the small kitchen now.
Instead of waiting for the master to bring it up, it is better to bring it up yourself first, which can also show your own rationality.
"Well, you are a very sensible child."
The Duke's wife praised gently, with approval evident in her eyes.
Zhao Manxiang felt a little relieved. After all, Wen Zhu's words did not threaten her position too much.
At this moment, the curtain was lifted and Fu Zhiyao walked in.
"Why are you back so early?"
The Duke's wife asked in surprise, her eyes fixed on what he was holding.
"The Emperor gave many gifts, and my son has returned them."
Fu Zhiyao bowed and sat down, placing the gifts on the table with a calm expression on his face.
"Why the reward?"
The Duke's wife asked excitedly, obviously very interested in the news.
