Chapter 469 Returning to the Phoenix Palace at the Foot of the Emperor
Ji Qingwu had just found a suitable place to plant the herbs when someone came to call her, saying that Qi Peiyao was about to give birth and the baby had already started.
She picked up the delivery bag that she had prepared long ago and rushed over.
As happily as the Hu brothers were laughing the previous moment, they became more anxious as they waited outside the tent.
It was the first time that a woman gave birth in the military camp, and the soldiers passing by could hear Qi Peiyao's hoarse shouts.
The north wind outside the tent blew Hu Lie's beard into a mess. The rough man squatted on the ground, crying, looking weaker than a woman who had just given birth.
Hu Chen put his face against the tent door and listened carefully to the movements inside. His eyebrows raised and lowered with the shouting inside, and his fingers almost scratched the cloth of the tent.
The eldest brother Hu Feng was relatively calm. Although he was sweating profusely, he was always the first to respond when someone in the tent said they needed something, and then he quickly prepared it.
It was not until the second half of the night until the morning of the next day that they heard the baby's first cry.
The Hu brothers looked at each other and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Chen opened the tent door and rushed in. Hu Lie also crawled to Qi Peiyao's bed. The two of them surrounded her, hugged her and cried together.
Qi Peiyao was annoyed by their quarrel and said, "Why are you crying... Even a baby can't cry as loud as you..."
Ji Qingwu stood aside, holding a chubby little baby in her arms. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, as she couldn't even hand the child over.
Finally, Hu Feng walked in calmly. He first looked at the person on the bed and saw that Qi Peiyao was safe and sound, but looked weak. Then he looked at the child.
Ji Qingwu smiled and said, "It's a girl weighing 6.6 jin." As he said that, he pushed the child forward.
But Hu Feng had a blank expression on his face and did not move for a long time. Ji Qingwu's arms felt a little sore from being stretched out.
Why haven’t you answered yet?
Ji Qingwu had a questioning look in his eyes and was about to speak, but Hu Feng fell straight to the ground.
She withdrew her hand and hugged the limp baby tighter. None of these three fathers could take care of a child.
The other two didn't care about the child's life or death. Only Hu Feng still had his sanity, but his calmness was also fake.
Ji Qingwu shook her head. She squeezed to the bedside and talked about some precautions for caring for the mother and baby.
Qi Peiyao fell asleep soon after giving birth. Ji Qingwu wanted to give the child to Hu Lie and Hu Chen, but was righteously rejected by them.
Hu Lie was startled and said, "This little thing is so soft that it will break if touched. I dare not hold it. Third brother, you come!"
Hu Chen's eyes were bloodshot, and he said, "It was all because of this little thing that Yaoyao suffered so much. I won't hug her, I will just stay with Yaoyao."
Hu Feng was still unconscious and there was no one to take care of the child, so Ji Qingwu could only wrap her up and carry her back.
After lifting the curtain of the main tent, Ji Qingwu was stunned.
Because there was not only Emperor Wu Su in the tent, but also generals who were returning to the camp in batches.
It wasn't surprising that someone was there, but what was strange was that all the soldiers were staring at her with shining eyes.
Ji Qingwu thought she was holding a baby in her arms, and they found it strange. But after she placed the child on the bed in the inner room and surrounded the child with a quilt, she came out and everyone's eyes fell on her again.
Before Ji Qingwu could figure out why, Emperor Wu Su's face turned cold.
Li Yuzong coughed a few more times, and everyone looked away.
The reason was simple. When Ji Qingwu was delivering Qi Peiyao, the soldiers had already heard that Ji Qingwu had cracked Xi Jin's witchcraft and captured Gao Zhaoyue alive. Moreover, he took out magical herbs during the negotiations between the two sides, causing Xi Jin to suffer a great loss.
Seeing the soldiers' eyes getting brighter and brighter, Zhao Mingyan said coldly: "Get out!"
After everyone had bowed and left the tent in an orderly manner, Ji Qingwu walked up to him.
She chuckled and said, "I can see why His Majesty is unhappy this time."
Zhao Mingyan looked at her deeply, pulled her onto his lap, and hugged her waist tightly.
"You finally came back."
Ji Qingwu smiled and said, "I'm going to help deliver a baby."
Zhao Mingyan glanced at the middle and asked, "Why did you bring the little thing back?"
Ji Qingwu pursed his lips and said, "None of those three grown men is useful." It's no good having many fathers but poor quality.
Zhao Mingyan said: "I can't trouble you, just return the child quickly."
Ji Qingwu said, "I will send the child back when Madam Hu wakes up and has enough rest."
Zhao Mingyan buried his head in the crook of her neck and said, "But I can't wait any longer."
When the emperor said he couldn't wait, he really meant it.
Half an hour later.
The infant was returned by Li Yuzong himself, while Ji Qingwu was packed up and put on the return carriage.
But this time, Ji Qingwu didn't have to hide, didn't have to be as cautious as every time, and she didn't have to worry about anything.
When you are hungry or thirsty, someone will feed you; when you are sleepy or tired, someone will hold you.
But there was something that Ji Qingwu was not satisfied with. Someone pestered her to have sex with him in the carriage, saying that she would never have such an experience after returning to the imperial city.
However, no matter how big the space in the carriage was, it was not as comfortable as a bed. Moreover, the carriage was traveling at a high speed, so it was inevitably bumpy. When they arrived at the city gate of Lin'an, Ji Qingwu's waist was still sore.
The people in the imperial city had already learned the news that Emperor Wu Su had returned victoriously, and were waiting excitedly.
When the emperor's carriage drove into the street, the people crowded around the small alleys on both sides.
Ji Qingwu quietly lifted the curtain of the carriage. She finally got to see such a grand occasion.
The guards of the Imperial City Administration maintained order, Duan Mingfeng led the way, and Emperor Wu Su did not show up in public to ride a horse, but accompanied her in the carriage.
Ji Qingwu lowered the curtain, chuckled, and asked, "Your Majesty, why don't you go out and ride a horse through the streets?"
Zhao Mingyan's arm muscles suddenly exerted force, stretching them so much that Ji Qingwu's face felt uncomfortable.
"Walking through the streets with this pendant?" He teased, "Well, let the people see what Ah Wu looks like now."
Ji Qingwu leaned her whole body against Zhao Mingyan with her feet on his legs. If Old Madam Ji saw her posture, she would definitely say that she was rude and disrespectful.
Ji Qingwu shook his feet and said, "His Majesty said that as long as I agree to your request once, you will listen to me on the way back."
Zhao Mingyan pinched the flesh on her cheek and said, "Awu's ability to annoy people has improved again."
Ji Qingwu pushed his hand away in dissatisfaction and rubbed his face: "If I pinch it until it turns red, my mother will definitely find out when I get home later."
Zhao Mingyan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you still want to go home?"
Ji Qingwu asked, "Where are you going if you don't go home?" After asking, she realized, "You're not going to..."
*
At the feet of the emperor is the Phoenix Palace, with purple air coming from the east and circling the nine floors.
Ji Qingwu leaned against the car window and watched the carriage enter the palace gate, which was filled with an aura of nobility.
