Chapter 379 Little Fish
Su Qingwan woke up, her body in so much pain that she couldn't move. Her delivery was smooth and the bleeding had stopped. Apart from the pain, she felt fine. The baby was sleeping beside her, wrapped in a swaddle, with black hair, eyes closed, and some small hairs on his face. He was chubby and very cute. He was too small to tell who he looked like, but this little pink ball touched the softest spot in Su Qingwan's heart. This was her and Lu Jing's child.
She had almost forgotten the pain of giving birth to him, and had even said that she didn't want to have another one. But now, looking at the little pink ball, she thought that if she could have such a cute child after just two days of pain, she could have another one. She had plenty of strength.
"Boy or girl?"
Qingyun said, "Miss, it's the young master."
Qingyun couldn't hide her joy. Of course, she felt sorry for the girl. She didn't feel any pressure since she had a little prince as her first child. Besides, Su Qingwan herself liked boys very much, so it was considered that her wish came true.
She didn't dare tell Su Qingwan about Su Nianqing. She had to wait until the girl recovered. Giving birth was like going through the gates of hell, so she needed careful care. During this period, the eldest princess sent someone to ask her, and Qingyun directly told the person that the girl needed to recuperate after giving birth.
The eldest princess stopped sending people. Qingyun was not from the Huainan Palace. The person she was loyal to was Su Qingwan. Su Qingwan was the most important thing for her, so she slowed down her work on Su Nianqing's affairs.
Three days later, Su Qingwan was in good health and could walk. Qingyun, Li Yue and others always called her Xiao Yuer, Xiao Yuer, and her nickname became Xiao Yuer.
Xiao Yuer opened her eyes. Her eyes and eyebrows resembled Lu Jing. Su Qingwan liked her the moment she saw her and loved to kiss her. The wives of noble families did not have the habit of feeding their children themselves, but Su Qingwan insisted on feeding the child herself and prepared two wet nurses. Qingyun checked them personally.
She was mainly worried that Su Qingwan would not sleep well at night. Xiaoyuer needed to drink milk every hour, which would always disturb Su Qingwan's sleep. Su Qingwan would not be able to rest well during the confinement period, and it would be difficult for her to recover her health.
Zhang also asked Su Qingwan not to get up at night and let the wet nurse feed her. She tried it for one night and gave up. It was really hard. She was still feeling uncomfortable and didn't want to get up at night like this, except when she was too bloated.
Fortunately, Xiao Yu'er is very well-behaved. He sleeps after eating and doesn't make much noise. He is in good health. The imperial physicians are all in the mansion and often check his pulse and take care of the child's daily life. Su Qingwan is much less worried.
When Qingyun never mentioned Su Nianqing, Su Qingwan herself felt something was strange and asked Qingyun if Princess Chang had sent anyone over later. Qingyun did not dare to hide it and told the truth.
Su Qingwan's face darkened slightly as she asked Li Yue, "Have you received any letters from home recently?"
Li Yue shook her head. Lu Jing's letters home were very regular, one every three days. Su Qingwan felt a pang in her heart when she hadn't received any letters in the past few days. Could it be that something really happened to Nian Qing?
She looked back at the little fish in the cradle and felt sad. The new life had just been born, but she heard the bad news. This was something Su Qingwan could not accept. She had experienced too many separations of life and death. She hated being separated from her family. Being separated by Yin and Yang would be a lifelong pain for her.
Su Qingwan wrote a letter and asked Li Yue to deliver it to the eldest princess. She was still in confinement and could not go out. The strong wind these days made it even more difficult for her to move around. Even if she wanted to go out, Zhang and the imperial physician would stop her.
Qingyun said, "Miss, I'm sorry, I acted on my own initiative."
"It has nothing to do with you. I'm giving birth. Even if you tell me, there's nothing I can do." Since there's no letter from home, he can only hope for some definite news from the princess.
