"The princess sent someone to deliver a gift. Would you like to review it, Madam?"
"Show me the gift list."
Gu Jiu struggled to sit up.
Nanny Fang was anxious. "Madam, be careful. You just gave birth. Lie down well."
Gu Jiu shook his head. "I've been lying down all day. I need to get up and move around."
People who have a caesarean section have to get out of bed and move around a day later to expel lochia, promote ventilation, and promote wound healing.
If she had a natural birth, or a relatively smooth one, she should get up and move around earlier to allow her body to recover as quickly as possible.
You can't lie down every day during confinement, as it's not conducive to your body's recovery.
Nanny Fang refused, "How can a woman who just gave birth get out of bed and move around? Madam, do you not want to take care of your body?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "Mammy, I care about my body more than anyone else. Believe me, as long as there is no postpartum hemorrhage, getting out of bed and moving around after giving birth will actually help my body recover."
Nanny Fang frowned, "Where did you hear such absurd nonsense from, Madam?"
puff!
Gu Jiu couldn't hold it in and laughed out loud.
"I'm not saying anything heretical. Think about it for yourself. Do those who stay in bed after giving birth recover well? Qingmei, listen carefully. When you have children in the future, you must learn from me. As long as your body can support it, you must get out of bed and move around in time. Even if it's only for the time it takes to stick an incense stick, it's good."
Qingmei blushed, feeling extremely embarrassed. "Madam, I'm not married yet, how can I have a child?"
Gu Jiu waved his hand, "Help me up."
The first time I got up, it was still a bit difficult and I couldn't exert any strength.
Qingmei looked at Nanny Fang, and seeing that she had no objection, she stepped forward and helped Gu Jiu up.
After Gu Jiu sat up, he moved his hands and feet. Only after he felt that his hands and feet were no longer stiff did he try to get out of bed.
Qingmei kept supporting her, "Madam, please don't force yourself."
"No need to force it."
Aunt Fang has a very mean face, which is her signature expression.
"It's only the first day and I'm already up and moving around. It's really no problem."
"Mammy, please believe me. You'll see, in a few days or three, I'll be well again."
At first, Gu Jiu walked around the bedroom with Qingmei's support.
After walking a few laps, she signaled Qingmei to let go and walked by herself, holding her waist.
The more I walked, the smoother it became. The feeling of fatigue disappeared, and my body movements became more and more natural. Unlike when I first got out of bed and walked, I needed someone to support me.
In the end, she straightened her back. If she hadn't just given birth, she would have looked like she had never given birth before.
Qingmei sighed, "Madam is really getting more energetic the more she walks. Madam, you're right. You have to get out of bed and move around as soon as you give birth."
Nanny Fang had nothing to say.
Gu Jiu smiled happily and sat down at the head of the bed again after she was tired from walking.
She asked Qingmei to bring some hot water and wipe her body.
I sweated so much when giving birth that even though I had changed my clothes, I still felt uncomfortable.
"Madam, you can't touch water." Nanny Fang stopped her.
"I just wipe my face and hands." And wipe my body as well.
Nanny Fang adhered to the postpartum care standards, "That won't work. If you touch the water, you'll get postpartum illness."
Gu Jiu: "I'm so dirty all over. If I hold the child, won't I infect the child with all the dirt? What if the child gets sick because of me?"
"Madam, please be patient." Qingmei advised in a low voice.
Nanny Fang refused to give in no matter what and refused to let Gu Jiu get wet.
Gu Jiu sighed and thought, forget it, it’s impossible for Nanny Fang to stay with her for twelve hours a day anyway.
When Nanny Fang was not around, she was thinking of a solution.
Pei's gift list was placed on the table.
She picked it up, opened it and took a quick look.
"The princess is so generous."
Gu Jiu was overjoyed to receive the valuable gift.
Qingmei smiled and said, "Madam, didn't you see how happy the princess was when she heard that you had given birth to a boy? The whole palace gave her gifts."
Gu Jiu smiled, "It's rare for the princess to be so generous. Not bad, not bad."
She ate something and lay back down on the bed.
I feel better now, so I just sit on the bed and watch the child.
The child was sleeping soundly, but suddenly started crying.
"What's wrong with him? Did he pee?"
Nanny Fang checked the diaper and found it was dry.
Then he said, "Brother must be hungry."
When he heard that the child was hungry, Gu Jiu subconsciously wanted to pick up the child and feed him.
When I stretched out my hand, I realized that I seemed to have no milk.
Besides, she was so dirty that she didn't dare to breastfeed.
Before she could figure out what to do, the wet nurse came in, picked up the baby, and fed him skillfully.
She hesitated for a moment, then decided to let the wet nurse feed the baby first.
The baby was munching, the newborn baby was full very quickly.
As a result, the little brat was still crying even after eating, and no matter how I tried to coax him, he wouldn't stop crying. He had such a bad temper.
When Liu Zhao walked into the bedroom, he saw a noisy scene.
He frowned, "Crying again? Take her out and don't disturb the lady."
The child seemed to understand what people were saying. When he heard that he was being taken out, he cried even harder.
I am crying my heart out. If you guys dare to bully me, I will cry myself to death in front of you.
Hearing the child crying out of breath, Gu Jiu's hard heart shattered into pieces in an instant.
She hurriedly shouted, "Don't take the child out, give him to me quickly. I will hold him."
The nurse hesitated.
Gu Jiu's face turned serious, "Give me the child."
The wet nurse shuddered and quickly handed the child to Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu held the child and coaxed him.
The child still didn't stop crying.
Liu Zhao said, "You just woke up and are weak. How can you hold the baby? Let the wet nurse take the baby out. This brat has been causing trouble since he was born."
"Don't make trouble, I'll coax him." Gu Jiu thought Liu Zhao was an eyesore.
Liu Zhao was very upset.
Gu Jiu whispered softly, "Baby, don't cry. You're so tired of crying. If you're hungry, thirsty, or need to pee, just cry a few times and I'll know. You don't have to cry all the time. Seeing you crying so hard, I feel bad for you."
A magical thing happened. The child seemed to understand what Gu Jiu said and actually stopped crying.
Liu Zhao: “…”
Is my son a genius? He can understand what people say as soon as he is born.
Then I should be more careful when speaking in front of him in the future.
The little brat kept crying before, he must have done it on purpose.
He is so scheming at such a young age and knows how to use crying to attract people's attention. He is indeed a debt collector, a bad boy.
I have to discipline the brat strictly from now on and not indulge Xiaojiu in spoiling him.
Who does this brat look like?
He's definitely not like me. I wasn't as scheming as him when I was a kid. He must be a grandparent, like his grandfather.
His grandfather must have been beaten like this when he was a child.
It was as if a barrage of messages had opened in front of Liu Zhao's head, with messages popping up one after another.
Gu Jiu coaxed the child and felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Nanny Fang smiled, a rare smile. "It's true that mother and son are connected by heart. My son has calmed down since he was in Madam's arms."
Gu Jiu laughed, "He kisses me."
The child's eyes were slightly opened, letting people know that he was awake.
Gu Jiu touched his little cheek, it was so tender.
When she holds her child, her motherly love overflows, and she no longer thinks the child is ugly. Instead, the more she looks at him, the more attractive he becomes.
"The child looks like a young master."
Prince Liu Zhao felt inexplicably depressed.
He doesn't look that annoying.
He coughed lightly, "He probably looks like father."
Nanny Fang insisted, "From my perspective, he still looks like the young master."
Liu Zhao looked left and right with a serious expression.
Looks like him?
How could he have been beaten so badly when he was a child?
He said seriously, "I think the child looks like Xiaojiu."
I guess Xiaojiu was a bit of a troublemaker when he was young.
If Gu Jiu knew what Liu Zhao was thinking, he would definitely pick up his son and kiss him in the face.
Nanny Fang took another closer look and said, "Her features do resemble those of Madam Madam."
Gu Jiu looked at him from near and far, left and right, "Does he look like me? I can't tell at all. I feel like the child doesn't look like anyone else, just like himself. Each one looks different."
Liu Zhao nodded repeatedly. Xiao Jiu's words resonated deeply with him.
The brat has a face that looks like it deserves a beating, no wonder he likes to be beaten so much.
Nanny Fang said, "When the child grows up a bit and his facial features become more distinct, he'll be able to see clearly."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "No matter who he looks like, he is my son, I will love him and spoil him."
"Don't spoil boys too much." Liu Zhao said seriously, "Boys need to be strictly disciplined."
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at him. "You're just giving birth and you're trying to discipline him so harshly. Where's your conscience?"
Liu Zhao almost vomited blood.
After Xiaojiu had a son, she really stopped caring about him.
It's really annoying that the brat is going to replace his position in Xiaojiu's heart.
Liu Zhao was just thinking about how to compete for his son's affection when he heard Gu Jiu ask him, "Have you ever held him? Do you want to hold him?"
Liu Zhao was a little nervous. He was afraid that such a young child would be hurt.
"Let me try, be gentle."
"Of course you have to be gentle. Hug him. You're his father, and he'll be close to you."
Liu Zhao stretched out his hand.
Everyone could see that he was very nervous, as if he was not holding a child but a bomb.
Nanny Fang and the others laughed secretly.
Nanny Fang said, "Don't be afraid, sir. Just hold the child by the head."
Liu Zhao observed Gu Jiu's posture of holding the baby, and thought to himself that my little Jiu is so smart, he learned how to hold a baby without any instruction.
He followed Gu Jiu's example, reaching out and gently picking up the child.
The posture is a bit awkward and stiff, but fortunately it is basically correct and does not leave the child's head and neck hanging in the air.
The child's eyes were only slightly open, and it would take another two days for his eyes to be fully open.
The slit eyes, perhaps also able to sense light, turned their gaze towards Liu Zhao's face.
Gu Jiu laughed, "The baby is very cute, you should hug him more in the future."
Liu Zhao nodded, and for the first time he felt that the brat also had a cute side.
I silently said in my heart: Brat, I am your father. You must listen to me from now on and don't make trouble. Otherwise...
Sizzle!
"Ah, brother peed."
Otherwise, before he could figure out what was going to happen next, Liu Zhao would have been harassed by his own son.
His face was stiff as he watched the boy's urine dripping from his sleeves. He saw the fine silk fabric being ruined by the boy's urine, and his whole body seemed to be stained with the smell of urine.
My feeling at the moment: He is indeed a debt collector!
Gu Jiu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"The baby likes you very much and pees on you to show his friendliness."
No way.
The maids suppressed their laughter and took the child away to clean up outside.
Nanny Fang reminded him, "Young Master, please change quickly too."
Liu Zhao took a deep breath, and after everyone had left the bedroom, he quietly complained to Gu Jiu, "That brat was born to be a debt collector."
"Call me baby, not brat."
Liu Zhao raised his arm and sniffed the scent on his body. "I'll go wash up first and come over to talk to you later."
As soon as he finished speaking, he fled.
For people with mild mysophobia, it is unbearable to be urinated on, even if it is their own son.
Gu Jiu burst into laughter again.
Both the father and the son were washed and changed into new clothes.
I brought the child back, put him next to my pillow, and he fell asleep in a short while.
Liu Zhao felt relieved, yet still apprehensive. He said with deep emotion, "Finally, he fell asleep. What a hero!"
Gu Jiu smiled and asked him, "Do you dislike your son?"
This is a fatal question!
Liu Zhao shook his head like a rattle, "He's my own son. I love him so much, how could I possibly dislike him? Don't overthink it."
Gu Jiu lowered his head and moved closer to him, "I really don't mind."
Liu Zhao said with certainty, "I will dote on you 100% and I guarantee you won't despise me."
it's out of the question.
My son has been so naughty since he was born. As a father, of course I have to discipline him strictly and never indulge him.
Gu Jiu smiled with satisfaction, "You have to love and pamper our child. Of course, you have to take care of him as well. A child's growth depends on his age, and a child's future depends on his age. After he has learned his basic skills, you have to cultivate good living and learning habits for him."
Liu Zhao nodded, not forgetting to flatter him, "You are indeed insightful. If you discipline the child, he will surely become sensible and smart."
"As a father, don't you have to fulfill your responsibilities as a father? You have to take care of the child too."
"I'll take care of it, I definitely will." I'm just afraid you'll feel bad and won't let me take care of it. Liu Zhao complained silently.
Gu Jiu leaned against the headboard and looked at the child, "He is so small and cute."
What's cute about it?
Liu Zhao lacks the eyes to discover beauty, and he really can't see what's so cute about his own son?
From birth till now, he has always had a bad temper and would cry for a long time.
But it is really small.
Gu Jiu laughed at him, "When you compare yourself to the baby, you look like a big plate with a face. You're really ugly."
Is he ugly?
Liu Zhao frowned. Did Xiao Jiu really dislike him?
As expected, after having a son, the man was left aside.
"You once said I was very good-looking."
He deliberately emphasized the word "excellent" to remind Gu Jiu not to forget what he had said.
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, "Times have changed. You are definitely not as good-looking as the baby."
Liu Zhao: I almost vomited blood.
He is the grandson of the emperor, but he wants to compete with his newborn son in terms of beauty and ugliness. What a failure in life.
He said, "Now in your eyes, no one can compare to the baby, huh?"
"Of course. In your mind, is there anyone who can compare to the baby?"
"have!"
"Who is it?" Gu Jiu snorted. If you don't answer properly, this lady will punish you.
Liu Zhao took her hand and said, "Of course it's you."
Gu Jiu blushed, it turned out that she was competing with the baby for favor.
She was unusually embarrassed. "Don't say that in front of the baby anymore. Don't underestimate him because he's so small. He understands everything we say. In fact, he could hear us talking and feel our emotions even when he was in the belly."
Liu Zhao looked at the sleeping child and nodded. He was indeed a scheming son.
He suddenly blurted out, "This kid will definitely get a lot of New Year's money in the future."
What is going on here?
Gu Jiu couldn't keep up with the pace at all.
Liu Zhao laughed, "You must be tired. Go to sleep first. I'll keep an eye on you."
"Aren't you tired? You've been guarding since last night."
Liu Zhao smiled and said, "I rested for two hours during the day. I'm not tired now and I'm in good spirits."
Gu Jiu lay down. After talking for so long, he felt a little tired, especially his waist, which felt sore.
She lay on her side and could see Liu Zhao, "Am I ugly now?"
You're sweaty, haven't washed, and your hair is messy. You must look ugly.
Liu Zhao reached out and gently stroked her cheek, "It looks very beautiful."
"You lied to me. I look pretty in this state now. Everyone in this world is a fairy."
Liu Zhao laughed. "I wasn't lying to you. In my eyes, you look very pretty now. Especially gentle."
"Are you trying to say that I radiate maternal energy?"
Gu Jiu was a little disgusted. Sure enough, after giving birth to a child, people no longer see you as a young and beautiful woman.
Liu Zhao asked, "Isn't it good?"
What's good about it!
The radiance of motherhood does not need to be radiated at any time and in any place.
When the child fell asleep, she wanted to be a young and beautiful woman.
She said softly, "My mother sent someone to deliver generous gifts. Qingmei said the gifts filled the entire room. There were hundreds of pieces of cloth alone."
There were so many pieces of cloth that she almost complained that Princess Pei might have run a cloth shop and that the cloth was delivered to her as if it were free.
Liu Zhao said, "My mother gave it to you, so please accept it."
She was still thinking about something, "The weather will soon get colder, and I need to hurry up and make a little cotton-padded jacket for the baby. The cotton cloth that mother sent me will come in handy."
