Chapter 159 I Know You Feel Affection for Me
Mingzhao leaned over, put his hand on her back, held her in his arms, and said seriously, "Thank you."
Shi Jianli was slightly stunned. "I know you feel bad for me, but I am willing. We love each other, so I am willing to bear our child. Seeing him in your arms, so small, like you and me, I am also very happy."
"Aren't you happy to think that in the future there will be a little guy who calls you daddy, calls you father, and acts like a spoiled child to you?"
"Happy." Mingzhao lowered his eyes and kissed her between the eyebrows, then lowered his head and kissed the child's tender little face.
Seeing the child staring at them with his dark eyes wide open, looking quiet and serious, Mingzhao gently tapped his cheek and said with a smile, "Little guy, you're listening so carefully to what Daddy and Mommy are saying. Do you understand?"
"Agu~"
Shi Jianli tilted her head and kissed his chin, watching him tease the child.
Newborn babies are prone to drowsiness, so he fell asleep after being teased for a while. Shi Jianli gently pulled out the fingers that the child had been holding.
For fear of startling the child, Mingzhao did not ring the bell, but personally carried the child to the side bedroom and put him on the crib.
At night, Shi Jianli couldn't sleep. She nestled in the arms of the man who still insisted on sleeping with her. Her fingertips slid across his collar and she said, "I can't sleep."
"I'll talk to you." Mingzhao even brushed the hair that had fallen on her cheek behind her ear. "Tomorrow I'll help you walk around the house."
"Don't you want to go to court? Just let Lanxing and Xianyue help me."
"I need to ask for leave. I have a father above me and two brothers below me in the army. I won't be missed if I am not there."
"oh."
On the day when Xier was one month old, the family held a full-moon banquet for the child. Shi Jianli was finally able to leave the house, and she went out for a walk in the yard early in the morning.
Yuan Yuhe, who had also come early in the morning, saw her and asked with a smile, "Are you bored?"
"Well, I can't wait to go out and take a walk." Shi Jianli nodded. How could she not feel bored if she didn't even have a yard?
"Then take a couple more turns. I guess the scenery outside the courtyard is quite fresh to you now. How about Xi'er?"
"Xi'er is still sleeping. He should be waking up soon. Mother, please go into the yard and sit for a while."
"good."
Just after returning from outside, she saw Mingzhao still standing at the gate. She took two quick steps to him and asked, "Why are you standing here?"
Mingzhao even leaned over and picked her up, smiling and saying, "Wait until the Madam comes back. I heard them say you went out for a walk."
Shi Jianli put her hand on his arm and said, "Put me down, mother is here."
"I know. Mother is in the side room looking after Xi'er. Madam, have you not had breakfast yet? I will have breakfast with you."
"Okay." She put her arms around his neck. "You haven't been seen since early this morning. Where have you been?"
"I'm going to the front yard to tell Tianfeng and Tianyu about some military matters. Madam, do you miss me?"
"It's just a while since we last met. I'm not that clingy."
"But I'm a bit clingy. I miss my wife." Mingzhao held her and bounced her around. "Why do I feel lighter when I hold her? Ask the kitchen to make more of your favorite food."
"You said the same thing two days ago." Shi Jianli poked his shoulder with her finger. "Isn't tomorrow a day off? I want to go play football. You come with me."
"Okay, how about accompanying Yaoyao on a hunting trip the day after tomorrow?" She hadn't had a good time in a long time.
"Um."
After breakfast, thinking that it was almost time for the guests to arrive, Shi Jianli took the child to the banquet hall.
The full moon banquet for the great-grandson of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion naturally attracted many guests. The ladies of each family were entertained by Yuan Yuhe and Qiao Ruoying. Shi Jianli didn't spend too much time on it. After giving the child to Mingzhao and holding him in her arms, she chatted with Mingyuelin, Princess Kangning and others.
Princess Kangning also gave birth to a son in January, and is now being held by Yu Heming to "strengthen the brotherhood" with Xier.
Before Mingzhao could even hold the child warmly, Ming Weisu took the child away and said, "Take the child and show it off to your uncles."
"Xi'er is still young, please be careful." Seeing his father's cheerful look, Mingzhao felt a little helpless.
It seems that the eldest grandson is indeed more popular with the grandfather than the son.
"You don't even need to tell me that. I won't let them hold me. They can only look at me twice at most."
Su Xingyu, who was being held by Su Zhuochen and had been looking at his younger brothers, saw Xier being taken away, and reached out to pull Yu Heming's son's hand to make him laugh.
Ming Zhao even stroked his head and said with a smile, "Since you like your brother so much, why don't you stay at Uncle Ming's place tonight and play with him?"
"Okay, okay, I promise I won't talk about going back this time." Su Xingyu patted his chest and said. He was no longer a three-year-old child.
Shi Jianli was eating cherries. Princess Kangning poked her head over and asked excitedly, "Shi Yaoyao, I finally waited until you're out of confinement. Can I go out and play with you tomorrow?"
"We are going to play cuckoo tomorrow. Princess, would you like to join us?" It's more fun when there are more people.
"Go, go!" Princess Corning nodded quickly. As for the children, there were plenty of people to take care of them.
Ming Yuelin looked at them with her face in her hands, feeling envious: "I want to go play too."
"How about you go for a walk and watch us fight?" Princess Kangning touched her six or seven-month-old belly, then laughed again as she remembered something. "I think you said that to Shi Yaoyao two years ago."
"Alright, things change." Ming Yuelin turned to look at Lin Tingwan, "Third sister-in-law, do you want to go? They can have their fun, and we can go shopping."
"go."
"Second sister-in-law, we won't call you. You are already in advanced stages of pregnancy, so it's not convenient."
Zheng Lejun nodded gently, "Okay."
Princess Kangning turned around and asked Shi Jianli, "Where are we going tomorrow? The villa of the Duke of Anguo?"
"Well, can we set off at 9:00 PM?"
"Okay, not too early or too late."
After the full moon banquet, Xier, who had slept three or four times, was sent to Shi Jianli, who touched his little face.
"Ah~" Xier held her fingers and gave her a toothless smile.
Shi Jianli slightly arched her brows and patted him gently with her hand that held his swaddling clothes, "Good boy."
Perhaps he recognized her scent. Every time she hugged Xier, Xier would stare at her and especially love to smile at her.
"Ah, gugu~"
Shi Jianli bent down and kissed his forehead.
Mingzhao even came over and rubbed her cheek with his fingers, "Do you want me to hold Xi'er? Or do you want to hold her yourself?"
"I'll let you hold me when I'm tired." Shi Jianli raised her eyes and smiled, "Let's go to the inner hall."
Now that the guests have left, Mingyuelin is still staying in the mansion because he has an appointment to go out and play tomorrow.
"good."
After dinner, I returned to Langganyuan and saw Li sitting on the bed playing with the child, holding a rattle to attract his attention.
Mingzhao moved closer to her, put his arm around her waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, sniffed her fragrance, and couldn't help but kissed the corner of her lips, "Yaoyao, will you take a bath with me later?"
