Chapter 158 Hold it and show it to me
"Pear girl, stop shouting. You'll lose all your strength and it will be difficult to give birth."
Shi Jianli nodded.
After driving the people away, Mr. Zhang also went out, closed the door, and pulled a chair to wait at the door of the house.
After more than half an hour, loud crying sounds were heard from inside.
Yuan Yuhe was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "Get well soon, so you don't have to suffer so much."
The first pregnancy took just over an hour from conception to delivery. Li'er was pregnant well, and the baby came out quickly.
After cleaning up, Lan Xing brought out the swaddled child, casting a shadow in front of him: "How is Madam?"
The child was still crying. Lan Xing saw that he was staring into the room, not even glancing at the child, and replied, "The girl is a little tired. You have to wait a while before you can go in, uncle. They are still cleaning up inside."
"Would you like to hold the little prince?" Lan Xing handed the child to him.
Mingzhao carefully took the child and patted him gently. The crying child stopped crying after crying twice. He looked at the child and then looked at the closed door.
Seeing his absent-minded look, Yuan Yuhe took the child from his arms and said, "Let me hold the child. You can go in and see Li'er later."
She examined him carefully and said, "His features resemble Zhao Huan's, but the rest of his features resemble Li Er's. Just now, Lan Xing said it was a boy?"
"Yes, it's the young master, the Duke's wife."
After a while, the door opened and Mingzhao strode in. After taking two steps, he turned back and pulled Mr. Zhang in. "Please take my wife's pulse again."
"Young man, you are so rash in doing things." Old Zhang scolded with a smile.
Through the gauze curtain, Zhang Lao felt her pulse and said, "You've lost some energy. You'll just need to replenish it during the confinement period."
When he went out, Mr. Zhang met Qiao Ruoying who was looking at him eagerly, and reassured her.
Qiao Ruoying felt relieved and finally had the mood to go see the child.
The room still smelled faintly of blood. Mingzhao lifted the veil and sat on the edge of the bed. He took her hand and put it on his cheek, "Yaoyao."
Shi Jianli's face turned pale, but she looked at him with a smile, "Is he good-looking?"
Mingzhao was a little amused and confused for a moment, then thought back to the red-faced little kid and said, "It looks good."
"It's clearly red, and it looks a bit ugly." Shi Jianli frowned, "You're lying."
"Yaoyao and I are both good-looking. He will become more handsome in a couple of days. Mother said he looks like you." Mingzhao leaned over and kissed her face. "Thank you for your hard work, Yaoyao."
"Hold me." She held his fingers.
Mingzhao took off his coat and lay down beside her carefully, holding her shoulders lightly. "Does it hurt?"
"Yeah." Shi Jianli rested her forehead against his shoulder and said softly, "I'm a little tired. I'm going to take a nap. You have to stay with me and you're not allowed to leave."
"Okay, I won't leave. I'll stay with Yaoyao." Mingzhao gently stroked her hair. After a while, he put his hand on the tip of her nose and felt relieved when he felt her even breathing.
He held her fingers in his hands, slowly stroking her knuckles, lowered his head and kissed her between the eyebrows, staring silently at her peaceful sleeping face.
Newborn babies cannot be exposed to the wind. Several elders outside took turns to look after the child and then asked them to send the child back into the house.
In the side room, Yuan Yuhe looked at her grandson sleeping in the crib and asked the little maid, "Is the prince still with his wife?"
"Yes, the prince is still in the main house."
Shi Jianli slept until sunset and when she woke up, Mingzhao was still holding her in his arms.
She nuzzled his neck, then felt a hand on her waist, "Are you awake? Are you hungry?"
"I'm hungry." Shi Jianli stared at him, then remembered something and asked, "Have you eaten today?"
"No." Mingzhao even put a pillow behind her waist and carefully helped her sit up. "Lean back for a moment, I'll have dinner brought over."
As he said this, he put on his coat.
Shi Jianli looked at him quietly, "Please have someone bring the child here too. I want to see him."
"Okay." Mingzhao leaned over to help her put up her hair, then went out to ask someone to serve dinner and wash up at the same time.
When he returned, Xianyue had already helped Shi Jianli change into pajamas. He sat beside the bed and held her hand.
Yuan Yuhe and Qiao Ruoying, who was holding the child, came in and asked, "How do you feel, Li'er?"
"I feel much better after a good sleep." Shi Jianli looked at Qiao Ruoying, "Auntie, let me hold you."
Qiao Ruoying placed the child, who had just finished eating and was looking up with his eyes open, in her arms. "You can only hold him for a while. If you hold him for too long, your back and hands will ache and become sore."
Shi Jianli nodded, and the child seemed to recognize her. He cried out "Wow" twice in her arms.
"He seems to be more handsome than when he was just born." She touched the child's cheek and bent down to kiss him.
"Of course she's pretty. Look at her little nose and mouth. She looks so much like you. She'll probably be so cute when she grows up."
Yuan Yuhe asked, "Have you decided what to name your child? In this generation, the character 'Yan' is used for boys and 'Yu' is used for girls."
Mingzhao tucked the corner of the quilt for her and said, "Yaoyao, come and get it."
Shi Jianli thought for a moment, then said, "Let's choose Xi. On the day of Xihe, it will be as bright as the sun, illuminating all things."
"Okay, I'll listen to Yaoyao. It sounds like the meaning is good. I'll call you Fuguang when you're crowned and given the name."
Yuan Yuhe glanced at her son with a smile, "Very good, the great-grandson of our Anguo Mansion can suppress this word Xi."
I guess he would agree with whatever Li'er said at this moment.
Shi Jianli held the child for less than half a minute before Qiao Ruoying took the child away again. "Okay, let me hold the child. You and Zhao should have something to eat."
"Oh, have my aunt and mother had their dinner yet?"
"Not yet. We'll go eat later. We'll take Xi'er to the next room and go back. We won't disturb you two. We'll come back tomorrow."
The maids brought the dinner over. Mingzhao even picked up the porridge and stirred it gently with a spoon. When it was the right temperature, she fed it to her mouth and said, "Try it. If you like it, eat it. If you don't like it, we can change it."
Shi Jianli brought the bowl over by herself, "I can eat by myself. You haven't eaten anything today, aren't you hungry?"
Mingzhao even kissed her cheek and said, "Thank you, Madam, for loving me."
She glanced at him and quietly finished the porridge in her hand.
After dinner, there was still light between heaven and earth. Shi Jianli, half leaning against the headboard with a pillow behind her waist, poked Ming Zhaohuan's waist and asked, "Have you ever hugged him?"
Seeing that he stayed with her the whole day, he probably didn't even hold the child.
"Who are you hugging?" Mingzhao was still sitting next to her. He put his arm around her waist from behind and let her lean on his arms.
"Don't ask questions when you already know the answer." Shi Jianli half-lowered her eyes and pulled his finger.
Mingzhao still held her hand and said, "When Lanxing was carried out, I held her for a while, and then I handed her over to mother and the others."
"Hold it and let me see it again."
"Yeah." He pulled the bell beside the bed.
Hearing the bell, Xianyue came in and asked, "What do you want, Master?"
"Go and bring the little boy here."
"yes."
Xianyue brought the child in and carefully placed it in Mingzhao's arms.
The child was awake at this time, and saw the pear stretch out its fingers, which were held in his little hands.
She moved her fingers. "It's a small one, but the hand is quite strong."
“Ah~”
Mingzhao glanced at the child, then looked up and saw the smile between her eyebrows. The corners of his lips couldn't help but rise, "Yaoyao."
"Hmm?" Shi Jianli turned to look at him.
