Chapter 387 Daddy Loves You
"Even if his position is not high, he can still help the Queen consolidate the emperor's favor. Now, it has simply been given to others."
Qin Qingyao nearly choked to death on a mouthful of cantaloupe. Was this Nanny Gu trying to get her to find a concubine for Dugu Yu? Was that what she meant?
Nanny Gu saw that Qin Qingyao had a look of indigestion and thought that she had not yet come to her senses.
"Madam, the master loves you, so you should be even more considerate. You are pregnant now, and your figure will easily change. Not only will you not be able to serve the master well, but it will also easily ruin your good image in the master's eyes. It's really not worth it."
"Besides, there's no cat that doesn't steal fish in this world. Master can tolerate it for a month or two, but this pregnancy is a full ten months. What if Master loses control and hurts the child, or if a vixen takes advantage of the opportunity and seduces her away, what will happen then?"
"Why don't you take the initiative to send two reliable and trustworthy people over there? What do you think?"
After Nanny Gu finished speaking, she suddenly felt a chill on the back of her neck. It was July and the weather was hot, so why did she shiver for no reason?
Then he slowly turned around and saw Dugu Yu with his lips tightly pursed and his brows furrowed, his face so gloomy that ink could drip out of it.
"Master..."
Dugu Yu ignored her and glanced at Bai Zhi, who was confused as she came over with the sweet soup. "Is this the nanny you chose for your wife?"
Bai Zhi swallowed her saliva, put down the sweet soup, and knelt on the ground. "I admit my crime, please punish me, Your Highness!"
"Wu Gang, throw this old bastard out of here and don't let me see her again!"
"yes!"
"Madam, um..." Just as Nanny Gu was about to open her mouth to plead with Qin Qingyao, Wu Gang covered her mouth swiftly and quickly dragged her away.
Baizhi was so frightened that she trembled and didn't dare to raise her head.
"Get out of here! If these ignorant people in the mansion talk nonsense in front of the princess again, you will get out with them!"
"Yes, I obey your command!"
Everyone else left. The prince who had been full of murderous intent just now suddenly squatted down beside Qin Qingyao's legs with a look of grievance on his face. "Don't listen to her nonsense. You have a beautiful figure. You would look better if you were a little fatter."
"I don't need to be waited on. I will take good care of you. I won't be able to control myself. I absolutely won't do anything to hurt the child. I won't be a vixen either. So we can't sleep in separate rooms, and you can't push me to someone else."
Qin Qingyao glanced at him and continued to chew her melon, not wanting to speak at all.
Dugu Yu was afraid that Nanny Gu's words would make her think too much and mistakenly think that he was a playboy like Ling Jingxuan, so he simply moved forward and gently hugged Qin Qingyao's waist, with his cheek pressed against her belly.
Qin Qingyao twitched the corner of her mouth and looked at the furry head in front of her, which looked like a big dog asking for petting.
…
In order to take good care of Qin Qingyao, Dugu Yu consulted many doctors and also exchanged experiences in caring for pregnant women with the nanny in the mansion.
Things like morning sickness, picky eating, emotional agitation or even moodiness, drowsiness, swollen legs and feet... Pregnant women will feel very uncomfortable when the child is making trouble, so you must go along with the child's temper and never let her suffer again.
All these common characteristics of pregnant women are not obvious in Qin Qingyao.
She has always been able to eat and sleep well and has a good appetite. After more than three months of pregnancy, she only had a few symbolic morning sicknesses, and then she was fine.
I didn't see how the child struggled, but she herself was full of energy, jumping around all day long, which made Dugu Yu scared.
When she was five months pregnant, Dugu Yu began to suspect that the doctors were all liars and that the advice they gave was crappy and completely unreliable.
He made careful preparations to show his affection, but ended up having no chance to show it.
When she was seven months pregnant, Qin Qingyao looked no different from an ordinary person except that her obvious belly made it difficult for her to bend over. It seemed as if she was having a false pregnancy.
When Qin Qingyao was nine months pregnant... the queen gave birth!
Qi Luoyuan actually became pregnant more than a month later than Qin Qingyao. When the eldest prince was born, he was less than eight months old and weighed only more than four kilograms.
The Queen Mother was already in poor health, and now she suddenly gave birth prematurely, which made her almost go to the gates of hell. Although mother and child were safe in the end, the Queen lost half her life, and it is unknown whether she can recover in the future.
It is said that after the eldest prince was born, three beautiful women appeared in the cold palace, and the court was in turmoil again.
But it is hard to say whether it was because the queen was in poor health and gave birth prematurely, and the emperor took advantage of the situation, or if someone really dared to do something to the queen.
During the full moon banquet, the emperor issued an imperial decree, and despite the opposition of the court officials, he resolutely appointed the eldest prince as the crown prince and Qi Daxueshi as the crown prince's tutor.
I used to think that Ling Jingyu was arrogant and wouldn't listen to other people's opinions, but now I realize that when it comes to being stubborn and insisting on having his own way, Ling Jingxuan is even worse than him.
It’s just that the former is really stupid because he can’t recognize the reality, while the latter is because he has the capital to have the final say today.
Dugu Yu had no interest in what happened in the court and the harem. He was only upset about Ling Jingxuan taking a shortcut and becoming a father before him.
Then, when he went to bed at night, he massaged Qin Qingyao's sore lower back while gently kissing her belly.
"Our baby has to be obedient. Come out when it's time. Don't rush it, okay?"
Qin Qingyao looked at him with a loving look on his face as he looked at her belly, and her heart felt sweet and speechless. It seemed that you were the one who was most anxious!
After Qin Qingyao fell asleep, Dugu Yu put his ear to her belly and gently stroked it with his hand, "Be good, baby. Come out quickly, you know, your mother had a hard time carrying you, don't torture her."
"When you grow up, remember to be filial to your mother. You must listen to her and never make her angry, or your father will spank you."
It was unknown whether the little one in the belly understood what Dugu Yu said, as it fluttered happily in Qin Qingyao's belly. Dugu Yu showed a satisfied smile, "I knew our baby was the most obedient. Daddy loves you!"
Dugu Yu had heard many things from doctors about the various dangers that women face during childbirth, including difficult labor and hemorrhage, so he was always very worried. As the due date approached, Qin Qingyao herself didn't feel anything, but Dugu Yu started to lose his hair.
From time to time, he would comfort Qin Qingyao, "Don't worry, our precious daughter has always been so well-behaved, and she definitely wouldn't want you to suffer."
Qin Qingyao was not worried at all. Dugu Yu had done all the worrying for her, so it was not her turn at all.
There was only one thing that she was very dissatisfied with. "You don't have X-ray vision, so how do you know it must be a daughter?"
Dugu Yu murmured softly, "It's my daughter."
Although not favoring boys over girls is very commendable, why did Qin Qingyao discover that Dugu Yu was extremely averse to his son?
What if she really gave birth to a son, how would the father and son get along?
Qin Qingyao's worries were not unnecessary, because Dugu Yu felt uncomfortable all over whenever he thought of Qin Qingyao holding a man in her arms, even her own son.
Your own son will be someone else's husband in the future, and he deserves a beating if he competes with you for your wife.
Qin Qingyao looked at Dugu Yu's murderous face and felt that it was necessary to give him a warning. "Husband, no matter what, beating a child is wrong. If you have something to say, talk it over nicely. You absolutely cannot use force, or I will run away from home with the child!"
"oh."
It was New Year's Eve again, and Dugu Yu prepared a long menu for their New Year's Eve dinner according to Qin Qingyao's taste.
But Qin Qingyao, who was already more than nine months pregnant, still couldn't calm down and insisted on making dumplings by herself. Dugu Yu naturally didn't stop her in order to make his wife happy.
The midwife, doctor and three old maids prepared in the palace were all sent home by Qin Qingyao to celebrate the New Year and would not return until after the third day of the New Year.
Now Dugu Yu is more adept at taking care of pregnant women than any other old maid in the mansion, and is more gentle, considerate and dedicated, so it doesn't matter if they are gone.
Qin Qingyao and Dugu Yu made enough dumplings to cook a pot, and Wu Gang went to the kitchen to boil water.
Qin Qingyao stood by the basin, her hands still unwashed, when she suddenly cried out, "Hubby, my stomach hurts!"
Dugu Yu rushed over and found that Qin Qingyao's skirt was wet, "This..."
Bai Zhi screamed in fear, "The princess' water broke! What should I do? She's about to give birth!"
Dugu Yu picked up Qin Qingyao and said, "What are you shouting about? Go and call the midwife and doctor back!"
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Before Bai Zhi could even leave the house, Zhao Jinghan stopped her and said, "You wait by the princess' side. I'm fast. I'll go get someone."
Dugu Yu carried Qin Qingyao back to the room, his hands trembling.
Although he had prepared himself mentally for more than seven months and rehearsed the scene of his wife giving birth countless times in his mind, when the time came, Dugu Yu was still nervous and sweating profusely.
Qin Qingyao lay on the bed, her whole body soaked in sweat. The severe pain caused by the contractions made her grab the quilt and scream.
The cries of pain were like real needles piercing Dugu Yu's heart. For a moment, all the accidents that the doctors had said might happen to women during childbirth lingered in his mind, and he sweated even more than Qin Qingyao.
He knelt beside the bed, holding Qin Qingyao's hand tightly, his voice trembling as he spoke, "Qingqing, don't be afraid, just relax, it's okay, nothing will happen."
Although this child was what Dugu Yu had been looking forward to, at this moment, looking at Qin Qingyao screaming in pain, his mind was full of thoughts like "The child is not important at all and it doesn't matter if he can't give birth to it."
If he had known that giving birth would be so painful and even put Qingqing's life at risk, he should not have...
"ah……"
Qin Qingyao, who was lying on the bed, suddenly arched her body, clenched her fists as if she had used up all her strength. Following her cry of pain, a baby's cry pierced the night sky.
Dugu Yu, “…”
