Jiang Sui is pregnant again, this is a great thing, this child comes at the perfect time.
Before, because Mingxi was still young, the couple were more careful and asked Doctor Lou to prepare a nourishing and harmless contraceptive soup, for fear that she would get pregnant again in a short period of time and it would hurt Jiang Sui's body.
It was not until a few months ago that Xiao Hechuan's desire to have a daughter became stronger and stronger, so she stopped taking the contraceptive soup, and now she is successfully pregnant.
After Dr. Lou's diagnosis, she confirmed that the fetus was healthy and the whole family was very happy.
It just so happened that she was pregnant now, and she had no time to take care of the chores at home. She just wanted to take good care of the baby. Now that Xiao's mother stayed, she could share some of the burden with her.
Normally, the emperor would receive the imperial decree, wear auspicious clothes, and go to pay a visit to the Empress.
On the day of the imperial edict, Jiang Sui brought Xiao's mother into the palace and met the queen, as well as several other ladies.
The harem is now peaceful because the overall situation has been decided and they have nothing to fight about. There are many young concubines in the harem who hang around the emperor every day. The emperor has now handed over most of the political affairs to Helian Jing, so he goes to the harem every day.
Today he is listening to music at a concubine's place, tomorrow he will go to drink tea somewhere else. In short, except for his weak health, everything else about him is fine.
Xiao Hechuan was highly valued by the emperor in the court and was the prince's right-hand man, so the ladies were very polite to Jiang Sui.
When they heard that she was pregnant, they prepared rewards for her when she left the palace, one for her and one for Xiao's mother. The carriage was filled to the brim. It was Xiao's mother's first time entering the palace, and she behaved very cautiously, fearing that she would be impolite and offend the nobles, but she was also curious about everything.
After leaving the palace, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then took off the heavy kingfisher crown on her head, as if she was not going to receive glory today, but to overcome a calamity.
Time passed quickly and it was the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye. Kyoto held a lively Lantern Festival. Jiang Sui was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to go to crowded places, so she asked Xiao Hechuan to take the children for a walk.
There were so many children that almost all the servants in the house went with them, with each person looking after two to prevent them from running away. The lantern festival in Kyoto was much more lively and prosperous than that in Jeju, with more things to play and eat.
The children were having so much fun that they forgot everything else.
It was also the first time for little Mingxi to see such an occasion. He was only three years old, at that age when he was curious about everything. On the way, he met Xia Wanning who was also out with her children to watch the lantern festival.
She dressed up as an ordinary merchant's wife and traveled in a low-key manner with her two children. Not long after, she met the Xiao family.
Helian Yao was very excited when she saw Xiao Mingxi. She pointed at him from a distance and shouted:
"Mingxi Guoguo, Uncle Xiao, and the brothers and sisters Meng from my uncle's family."
The little girl danced and struggled to get off the wet nurse.
For some reason, when Helian Yao saw Xiao Mingxi, she was more affectionate to him than to her own brother. She called him "brother" affectionately. Although her pronunciation was not correct, it was the cutest this way.
Xiao Mingxi was also very excited to see the two siblings, but he didn't show it as obviously as Helian Yao. He also liked sister Yaoyao and brother Min very much.
Especially sister Yao, she is so cute.
Since she became pregnant, Xia Wanning had said that she wanted to become in-laws with Jiang Sui, saying that if they had a son, they would be good brothers who would be like his left and right arms in the future, and that if they had a son and a daughter, they would be arranged to be married.
Now both have been achieved, but having said that, the children’s wishes still have to be taken into consideration.
As soon as the two children got off the ground, Helian Yao took the initiative to hold Xiao Mingxi's hand, then went back to hold her brother's hand. She was in the middle, holding one child in each hand.
"Let's go buy some bunny lights!"
Helian Yao has an irresistible temptation towards rabbits and likes everything related to rabbits.
Seeing the children having so much fun, Xia Wanning looked at Xiao Hechuan and joked:
"It seems that there is great hope for our two families to become relatives in the future. If Suisui's baby is also a daughter, I will give my little prince to you as well. How do you think?"
When Xiao Hechuan heard this, he was like, my goodness, you’re already thinking about my daughter before she’s even born, right?
He didn't respond, but just smiled. Xia Wanning found it funny and thought, isn't this a bit too stingy?
…
Jiang Sui had a particularly easy pregnancy this time. She had almost no morning sickness in the early stages and everything she ate tasted delicious.
I originally thought that this pregnancy would be like the first one, with vomiting all over the place, but I didn’t expect it to be so smooth.
After three months, the fetus was firmly established. Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was almost time for her to give birth.
It was the height of summer, but a drought suddenly struck northern Daqing. There was no rain for several months in a row. The crops planted by the people died and cracks appeared on the ground.
Even Kyoto was affected. The water levels of artificial lakes and wells dropped a lot, and even the imperial palace had to use water sparingly.
It hasn't rained for several months, and Helian Jing and the emperor are very worried. Xiao Hechuan is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and many places are waiting for disaster relief funds.
But because Jiang Sui was about to give birth, he had to teach several children after dealing with the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue every day. He stayed at home to accompany Jiang Sui in the little time he had left. He did not attend any social engagements and turned them all down.
Xiao Mingxi has always been looking forward to the birth of his younger brother or sister. He also wants a younger sister, preferably one as cute as Helian Yao.
Many people looked at Jiang Sui's pregnant woman, and some said that she looked like she was pregnant with a boy, and then they would be rolled their eyes by Xiao Hechuan.
But if she said she was pregnant with a girl, Xiao Hechuan would smile brightly.
Finally, the day to open the blind box arrived. Jiang Sui was in good health and it was her second time giving birth. With the experience of the first time, the second time would be much easier.
First there was spotting, then water broke. Because she moved around a lot in the late pregnancy, the onset of bleeding came very quickly, and her cervix dilated very quickly.
It was just that the pain of childbirth was so unforgettable, and as the contractions became more frequent and more painful, I was finally able to give birth.
In the room, from time to time, one could hear Jiang Sui's suppressed cries of pain, as well as the midwives' encouragement to her. Xiao Hechuan was anxiously running around outside.
This time, no matter whether it was a son or a daughter, Xiao Hechuan decided not to have another child because he could not help her bear the pain of childbirth.
She had the attack in the morning, and at night, she finally heard the baby crying.
Xia Wan Ning and her two children are also waiting for Jiang Sui to give birth. She will never forget that when she was giving birth, it was she who was by her side, arranging everything in an orderly manner and encouraging her.
When they heard the baby crying, everyone smiled with relief. Judging from the crying, the child must be healthy.
But then, bursts of muffled thunder began to sound in the sky, accompanied by lightning, and raindrops as big as beans fell instantly.
