Nanny Xin said quickly, "Look at what you said. How can we maids not stand this little heat? The hottest time of the year has passed. Besides, we are here today to serve you on the orders of the princess. You should have a good rest. We will continue after you have rested." Nanny Xin refused to go to the flower hall to rest. She would not feel at ease until she saw Ren Yaoqi tried on the dress and there was no problem.
Ren Yaoqi stopped trying to persuade them and just asked someone to bring some iced sour plum soup to Nanny Xin and the others to quench their thirst.
Ren Yaoqi was drinking tea and chatting with Nanny Xin when she suddenly heard a commotion outside. It was quite loud.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Pingguo, who immediately retreated. But a moment later, she returned and hurriedly reported in front of everyone, "Miss, someone from the Lei family is here! The eldest daughter is about to give birth, and the eldest brother-in-law is worried, so he sent someone to take her away."
Upon hearing this, Ren Yaoqi immediately put down the tea bowl in her hand, with a look of joy and worry on her face: "Sister is about to give birth? Didn't you say you would have to wait a few days? Where are the people from the Lei family?"
Pingguo said, "It's Xiangqin who's here. She's in the mistress's room right now. The mistress is getting ready to go to the Lei family."
Ren Yaoqi stood up upon hearing this. She glanced at Nanny Xin and was about to say something when Nanny Xin smiled in understanding. "Oh, Miss Ren giving birth is a big deal. Why don't you go meet the Lei family first? These wedding gowns are already made. Even if they need to be modified, it won't take long. It doesn't matter whether you try them on today or tomorrow. Why don't we go back to the mansion first?"
Ren Yaoqi nodded apologetically and sent Nanny Xin and the others from the Yanbei Palace out.
As soon as they went out, they heard the hustle and bustle in the yard. Everyone had a smiling face. Even the usually calm Madam Zhou was standing under the eaves, repeatedly instructing several maids to prepare things.
Nanny Xin couldn't help but laugh when she saw this scene. This is what happens when a grandmother or a grandmother-in-law becomes a grandmother for the first time. When Ren Yaohua gave birth to a child, Li's generation also rose one level.
But before leaving, Nanny Xin still warned Ren Yaoqi, "Miss, you can't go into the delivery room and you can't help much. It's better for you to stay home and listen to the good news today."
Although Ren Yaoqi wasn't getting married today, the wedding date was approaching, and some wealthy families were very particular about these rules. If Ren Yaoqi rashly went to the Lei family, it would not only be bad for the child, but also for herself. Nanny Xin was worried that Li was still young and Ren Yaoqi didn't understand these taboos, so she specifically reminded her.
Ren Yaoqi nodded and said, "I understand, Madam. I won't go to the Lei family. I'll just ask my sister's maid."
Only then did Nanny Xin feel at ease and left with her people.
Ren Yaoqi was about to go to Li's room when she saw Xiangqin hurriedly coming out of her own room. Xiangqin was following Li and explaining Ren Yaohua's situation as she walked. Li must have wanted to go to Ren Yaohua in a hurry, so she only changed into a set of going-out clothes and left.
Ren Yaoqi hurried over and asked, "Why today? I remember the midwife said it would take a few days."
As Li led her people out in a hurry, she said, "It's possible to be born a few days earlier or later. When I gave birth to you, you were two days earlier than expected."
