Chapter 83 Ming Yao
“Puff.”
The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing and glanced at the person with a look of disgust: "How is she ugly? She is obviously very beautiful."
"Wow..."
The little monkey moved, and its dark little face wrinkled into a ball.
"Oh, Yao'er heard it."
The Queen Mother quickly patted the swaddling clothes and coaxed lovingly: "Yao'er, don't be angry. Your mother is not grown up yet. Let's ignore her. The Royal Grandmother loves you~"
"Empress~"
Su Ci grumbled unwillingly: "I'm already a mother, how can I not grow up yet?"
"You also know that you are already a mother."
The Queen Mother laughed unhappily and said, "How can a mother like you be so unbelievable? You come right up and complain about your son's ugliness. Be careful or His Majesty will scold you for being unruly."
"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong."
Su Ci smiled and tapped Pleasant Goat's dark face. She didn't feel the reality of being a mother at all, but rather a little bit of disbelief.
She actually gave birth to a human being.
…
After serving Su Ci the confinement meal, Madam Su and Lin Sulan reluctantly left the palace before the palace gates were locked.
The child was naturally taken away by his royal grandmother. Su Ci was relieved that she didn't have to feed him. She lay comfortably and let Yanyu Guyu wipe her body with the warm medicine she had prepared.
Then he saw Nanny Hua and a few others surrounding him, and he couldn't help but shrink back in fear.
The moment she gave birth to the child, she undoubtedly felt like she was in heaven, but then she saw Aunt Hua and several others rolling up their sleeves and carrying a tray of bottles and jars to surround her, and she had a bad feeling.
As expected, several old and strong maids almost flattened her. Although the pain was not as severe as giving birth, she still peed a few drops of horse urine.
But Aunt Hua said that this was a secret recipe from the deep palace to repair the body after childbirth, and it was also the most amazing massage technique to restore breast shape, so she gritted her teeth and endured it.
"Jin, do you want to press it again today?"
"My Lady, the ten days immediately following childbirth are particularly important. You should massage three times a day. After ten days, reduce this to twice a day, morning and evening. After the confinement period, do it once a day for the next three months."
Aunt Hua smiled kindly, "Don't worry, madam. It will be a little painful for the first two days, but it will be fine after that. You will see the effect."
“…Okay, come on.”
Su Ci took a breath and touched her slightly bulging belly: "Sure enough, beauty requires courage."
"Haha, Your Majesty, you're joking. I've delivered babies for so many concubines, and you're in excellent shape. You haven't gained weight and you don't have any scars. The key is that the Second Prince loves you so much that he delivered you in just over an hour, fearing that you would suffer."
"Um…"
Su Ci thought of something and pulled Madam Hua over to ask shyly in a low voice, "Madam, I don't have that thing down there, uh, am I okay?"
Aunt Hua's smile deepened as she shook her head. "Otherwise, how could I say that the Second Prince loves you? It's also because you, Your Majesty, knew how to cooperate and exert your strength, so you're not hurt. I guarantee you that with these precious secret medicines and massage, Your Majesty's body will recover quickly."
"Thank you for your hard work, Madam..."
——
Xuan Yi walked into Baorong Palace in the darkness.
The Queen Mother was holding her grandson who had just finished feeding and was still awake, smiling from ear to ear.
"The Emperor is here. Can we have dinner now?"
"It has been used in the court and by the ministers."
"Uh-huh..."
Pleasant Goat didn't even know how to open his eyes. He frowned, opened his mouth, and yawned with a smacking sound.
"Oh, our Yao'er is sleepy."
The Queen Mother smiled and coaxed him softly, "This little one is exactly like you when you were just born. He is also good at eating, sleeping, and being well-behaved and steady. It's just that his mother despises him, saying that her son is ugly. She is also worried that he will have the same temper as you, like a little old man, hehe..."
“…”
Xuan Yi disagreed with the adjective "little old man". He tilted his head and stretched out his hand, but was blocked by the Queen Mother.
"Hey, you haven't bathed yet. Newborn babies are so delicate and can't stand any dirt. Besides, you don't know how to hold a baby. You almost dropped my grandson at noon..."
“…”
Xuan Yi silently retracted his hand and touched the tip of his nose awkwardly.
When the eldest prince Xuanrui was born, he was still a prince in Lianzhou on business and did not return until three months later. Then the previous emperor passed away, and he was busy with the preparations for his ascension to the throne. He really had not held the child properly once.
"The Concubine Shu had a difficult time giving birth. The Emperor should go see her first."
"yes."
Xuan Yi quietly walked into the dormitory, waved away the mist and rain, bent down and sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the person who was sleeping with slightly red cheeks.
This lovely girl who illuminated his life like a little sun gave birth to a child who came in the sunshine.
How wonderful and beautiful.
It made him feel as if everything was finally settled.
Very reassuring.
"Hmm..."
Su Ci turned over, touched a familiar big hand, and half opened her eyes.
"Your Majesty~"
Xuan Yi felt a tingling sensation in his heart as he rubbed her slightly messy hair. "Is it because I woke you up? Are you still in pain?"
"It hurts."
Su Ci squirmed and moved to rest her head on his legs: "I want some water."
Xuan Yi picked up the water cup on the cabinet and probed, then fed her half a cup and smelled the fragrance of medicine on her body.
"Thank you for your hard work, Ci'er."
"Oh, it's really hard. It almost hurt me to death."
Su Ci rubbed his palm: "Your Majesty, I actually gave birth to a human being."
Xuan Yi laughed and tapped the tip of her nose.
"What are you talking about? Are you a flower fairy who can give birth to a flower?"
"Hee, I just think it's magical."
Su Ci also laughed at herself: "Luckily, the Queen Mother helped me. I didn't dare to hold that soft little bean, for fear that my hands would give way and I would drop it."
“…”
Xuan Yi didn't dare to say that he almost dropped the little kid.
"Your Majesty, is Pleasant Goat's name the Yao in Zhaoyao?"
"No, it's the Yao in Yueri."
Xuan Yi reached out and wrote on her palm, stroke by stroke, his eyes gentle. "Yao means shining light. I hope that in the future he will be like a raging fire, and his power will shake the world."
Su Ci blinked at him.
"Your Majesty, your words will cause me to misunderstand you, and others to misunderstand you as well."
"What misunderstanding?"
Xuan Yi raised his thin lips slightly, "My child is naturally a dragon among men, a lucky star for Dayong."
“…”
This was a matter of national importance, so Su Ci couldn't say anything more and changed the subject: "Your Majesty, what have you found out about my poisoning?"
Xuan Yi's smile faded, and his tone became a little colder.
"Madame Qin just reported back that she found something suspicious about Lianxin in your palace and a gatekeeper. They have been taken to the Ministry of Prudence for questioning. We should have a result tomorrow."
"Lianxin?"
As expected, Su Ci sighed: "So it's you who caused the trouble."
"Um?"
"When I first became pregnant, weren't you staying overnight at Yufu Palace? According to palace rules, a pregnant queen has to arrange for a palace maid to sleep with you."
Su Ci glanced at him as she spoke. "Then Yanyu Guyu discovered that Lianxin was waiting outside, dressed in all her finery. Although I pretended not to know and didn't pursue the matter, after that day, Lianxin was assigned to work outside the palace by Yanyu, and she was not allowed to meet you. I guess that's why we've encountered this disaster today."
