Kangxi didn't understand these things either, so he naturally helped Mingxiu inside to wait. After a while, the nurse came to check and, thinking she was ready to give birth, wheeled her directly into the delivery room. Kangxi waited nervously at the door of the delivery room.
Lin Lin rushed over shortly after. In the days leading up to Mingxiu's due date, Lin Lin abandoned all his businesses abroad and rushed back to wait for her to give birth. He was away earlier because she had been pregnant for a long time during the day and wanted to go back to rest at night. Unexpectedly, she suddenly went into labor that night.
"How is our son? Has Mingxiu already gone in?" Lin Lin rushed over and asked hurriedly.
"He's in, he's in, he just went in. The doctor said he's doing very well," Kangxi said, somewhat bewildered.
Lin Lin breathed a sigh of relief and patted Kangxi on the shoulder. "That's good, that's good. Don't worry too much. That's how it is when women give birth. Don't worry, Mingxiu's health has always been very good. She'll be fine."
Kangxi nodded, standing nervously at the door without moving.
She didn't know how much time had passed when finally a loud wail was heard. Mingxiu listened weakly as the doctors and nurses beside her announced the good news. Some unexpected things had indeed gotten the scoundrel's wish.
The delivery room door slowly opened, and the doctor wheeled Mingxiu out. Kangxi quickly went over and looked down at Mingxiu. Then Lin Lin took the baby from the nurse and followed behind.
Mingxiu lay on the bed, looking at the man beside her with a hint of jealousy. "I didn't expect that you would actually get what you wanted. You're so lucky."
Kangxi smiled faintly, gently brushed the sweat-dampened hair from Mingxiu's forehead, and said tenderly, "Then I must thank you. Thank you for making my wish come true. If you're tired, take a nap. I'll stay here with you."
Mingxiu nodded, she was indeed a little tired, and closed her eyes and fell asleep immediately.
Throughout her postpartum period, Mingxiu was in very good spirits. During the day, Lin Lin would take care of the baby, and at night, Kangxi would come over and take care of the baby all night long. She didn't have to worry about feeding or diaper changes. When the baby woke up hungry at night, Kangxi would secretly undress her so that the baby could eat and then be soothed back to sleep.
After her postpartum period ended, Mingxiu was full of energy, but Kangxi looked very haggard. Lin Lin was getting old and couldn't take care of the baby for too long, so he mostly looked after the baby. Mingxiu looked at Kangxi with a mix of helplessness and amusement, "You two are really making yourselves suffer. It would have been so much better to hire a postpartum nanny. She could have helped take care of the baby."
Kangxi shook his head. "I have to learn how to take care of the child myself in the next few months. Also, because I was busy with work before, I never had the patience to accompany a child as he grew up. So now that I have time, I still want to spend more time with my child."
Mingxiu looked at Kangxi and sighed, knowing he was referring to his past life, when as emperor he didn't have much time to spend with his children and missed out on a lot of joy. Now he wanted to make up for it.
Since that's the case, Mingxiu naturally didn't say anything more. Watching Kangxi skillfully change the baby's diaper, Mingxiu felt a little helpless. "Then why don't you just put a disposable diaper on the baby? You'll have to change the diaper every now and then. It's so convenient."
Kangxi shook his head. "How can that be? Mom said that diapers are stuffy and can easily cause diaper rash. They're fine for nighttime use, but cloth diapers are best for daytime use."
Mingxiu shook her head, but there was nothing more to say, so she could only watch him carefully take care of her daughter.
She reached out her hand and said, "Let me hold the child. You should go get some sleep. You got up several times last night."
Kangxi looked at the diaper in his hand, handed the baby to Mingxiu and said, "Alright, you hold the baby for a while, I'll go wash the diaper first, and then we'll go to sleep."
Watching Kangxi's figure disappear into the distance, Mingxiu lowered her head and kissed the child in her arms. Although the child was still red and wrinkled, there was indeed a hint of something on his face. The little one curled his lips and said, "Baby, you're living so comfortably now, but won't it be worth it to trade your future husband for it? Even though you have such a father, it hasn't been easy for you. Just find a husband."
After Kangxi returned, he went to sleep, and Mingxiu, not wanting to disturb him, held him. The child went outside to sit, and just then Lin Lin returned. Mingxiu looked at the soup Lin Lin was holding and said somewhat plaintively, "Mom, you're making chicken soup again? Can't we have something else? I really can't drink it anymore."
Lin Lin chuckled, "Don't worry, today isn't today. Today it's pigeon soup. Pigeon soup is the best for a woman's health. You can drink more later." Mingxiu's face stiffened upon hearing this. She'd rather have chicken soup. What kind of soup is pigeon soup? She didn't want this strange soup.
But in the end, she couldn't resist Lin Lin's loving motherly heart and had no choice but to drink it. After she finished drinking, Mingxiu pinched the flesh on her cheeks with some sadness, "I feel like I've gained a lot of weight recently."
"That's how it is after giving birth, don't worry, you'll lose weight again in a while," Lin Lin said with a smile.
Lin Lin nodded, hoping so. Thinking this, she looked down at the child in Lin Lin's arms and said, "Mom, who do you think this child will look like? I can't tell at all." Mingxiu sighed. She really envied those people who could tell who a newborn baby looked like. Anyway, no matter how she looked at the child, she felt that the child looked the same and she couldn't tell who the baby was.
Lin Lin looked down at the child and said with emotion, "This child looks a lot like you two. He only picked out the best features of both of you. He'll definitely have a lot of good genes coming from him in the future."
Mingxiu glanced at it curiously. Hmm, very good. It's impossible to tell who it looks like. Helpless, she could only give up on this topic and start another one. "Then I won't care. If the child grows up with a bunch of boys around him, it won't be me who has a headache, but your son. Anyway, since he's been hoping for this for so long, let him handle it himself."
Lin Lin chuckled, "Let him handle it himself. Humph, I'm afraid the child won't be able to get married by then, with his looks."
Mingxiu couldn't help but chuckle when she thought of how happy she was when her child was first born; it was indeed possible.
Mingxiu felt that there was nothing wrong with her body, but nowadays, postpartum confinement usually lasts a full month. Mingxiu could only spend a month in the hospital for her postpartum confinement.
Fortunately, conditions are much better now. As long as you don't blow-dry your hair, you can still wash it. So Mingxiu always asks Kangxi to wash her hair and then quickly blow-dry it.
