Zhang Tingyu was still lying in bed, unaware that his office had already learned of his unconsciousness due to the stress of his wife's childbirth.
Just as Zhang Tingyu slowly woke up, the servant pushed open the door and entered. Seeing that he was awake, he quickly said, "Master, you're awake. Would you like something to eat?"
Zhang Tingyu, having just woken up in broad daylight, was momentarily disoriented, before realizing that Qiu Wen had apparently given birth.
"Don't rush to talk about food yet. How is the young mistress? Has she woken up?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I heard from Luo Xue that the young mistress is still sleeping."
After all, she hadn't slept all night, and childbirth is a physically demanding job, so how could she possibly wake up so quickly, even though it was already afternoon?
"Alright then, send someone to keep an eye on things, and have the kitchen prepare some simple food and bring it over!"
Zhang Tingyu wasn't made of iron, so naturally he would feel hungry too.
"Yes, Master."
Zhang Tingyu ate a simple meal, but couldn't taste anything special.
Zhang Tingyu only remembered his duty today after finishing his meal. He asked his servant, only to find out that someone had already come to inquire, so he couldn't go to work today. He decided not to go, since it was already afternoon and he probably wouldn't stay long anyway, so there was no point in going.
After eating, Zhang Tingyu heard that Qiu Wen had not yet woken up, so he went to Qiu Wen's place. Although the servants around Qiu Wen repeatedly tried to stop him, after all, it was a rule passed down from their ancestors that it was unlucky for a man to enter the delivery room.
But Zhang Tingyu couldn't resist his desire, so he went in anyway.
Qiu Wen couldn't take a shower either. She was covered in sweat from giving birth, and although someone helped her tidy up a bit, she still looked a bit disheveled.
But even in such a disheveled state, Qiu Wen was indeed extremely beautiful in Zhang Tingyu's eyes.
When Qiu Wen woke up, she saw Zhang Tingyu sitting next to her and asked, "What are you doing here?"
It's no wonder she was surprised; it was still bright outside at this time. Although Qiu Wen had given birth, she wasn't so stupid as to not know that she had to work today.
"Did I come to see you?"
"You didn't go on duty?"
Zhang Tingyu was too embarrassed to say that he had fallen into a deep sleep after learning that both mother and child were safe and sound following the birth of his child. Although he probably couldn't hide this matter any longer, he would never say it out loud.
I didn't go today.
Qiu Wen didn't press the matter further, assuming he had simply asked for leave.
Zhang Tingyu quickly added, "You must be hungry. I've had the kitchen prepare food for you. Have someone bring it in."
Qiu Wen was indeed hungry.
Zhang Tingyu called out to the outside, "Luoxue, have someone bring the food in."
Luo Xue had been waiting outside. Upon hearing the voice and saying "Yes," she quickly went to the kitchen to personally serve the food.
Qiu Wen: "By the way, where's the child?"
Qiu Wen knew she had given birth to a healthy boy, but she was a little dazed just now. Now that she remembered that she had just given birth, she was a little unaccustomed to being a mother for the first time.
"The child should be with the wet nurse?" Zhang Tingyu himself was somewhat uncertain. It seemed as if he had just remembered his son. He definitely didn't mean to; he had just genuinely forgotten.
Qiu Wen looked at him suspiciously: "So where is it?"
Zhang Tingyu said, "They're with the wet nurse."
Whether he's with the wet nurse or not, he'll always be with her.
Qiu Wen: "I haven't seen it yet. Have someone bring the baby over so I can see it too." After all, it's her own child.
Zhang Tingyu instructed his servant to tell the wet nurse to bring the child over.
Before the child was even brought over, Luo Xue had already delivered the food.
New mothers have many dietary restrictions and eat very bland food. Although Qiu Wen was hungry, she didn't have much of an appetite for the low-oil and low-salt food. She ate a little bit to keep herself from going hungry.
Zhang Tingyu coaxed her, only letting her eat a few more bites. Zhang Tingyu sighed, thinking to himself, "She's really suffering."
Now that he has a son, he thinks he shouldn't have any more children, but he doesn't dare to say it out loud. After all, in those days, if a man told his wife, "I don't want you to have my children," people would probably think he had a problem with her!
Besides, Zhang Tingyu knew that if his mother found out about this, she would probably break his legs.
The parents fell asleep one after the other after the child was born, and neither of them actually got a proper look at the child's face.
"Master." With that, the wet nurse carried the swaddled baby to the bedside.
Zhang Tingyu carefully took the child, looking quite stiff. He held the child in his arms, not daring to use too much force, for fear of choking the child and making him uncomfortable, nor daring to be too loose, for fear of accidentally dropping the child.
Qiu Wen had never held a child before, and she found Zhang Tingyu's expression somewhat amusing. However, she also knew that if she were to hold a child herself, she would probably do the same.
However, since she was sitting on the bed, she was unlikely to drop the baby, so she said, "Let me hold him too."
Zhang Tingyu naturally had no objections, and very carefully placed the child in Qiu Wen's arms.
Qiu Wen's body stiffened the moment she hugged the child; she certainly didn't look much better than Zhang Tingyu.
New parents definitely have a lot to learn. They take turns holding the baby, and gradually they get the hang of it.
Just as Zhang Tingyu gave birth and Qiu Wen finished her postpartum confinement, Fu Qing was about to get married; the date had been set long ago.
As Zhang Tingyu's good friend and Fuqing's cousin, Bobo naturally attended their happy occasion.
