Chapter 302 May you have peace and safety year after year.
After falling several times in the snow, Xiao Mo thought that with his strong physique, nothing bad would happen.
Moreover, after returning to her room, her mother gave her a hot bath and changed her clothes.
But the result was unexpected.
The next morning, when Xiao Mo woke up, he found that he still had a fever.
Lying on the bed, Xiao Mo never expected that his newborn body would feel so uncomfortable with his first fever; he felt lightheaded.
"Mo'er, what's wrong?"
When Zhou Ruoxi saw that her child's cheeks were flushed and he was breathing heavily, she was startled and quickly touched Xiao Mo's forehead.
It was burning hot to the touch.
"Cuicui, Mo'er has a fever! Quickly call the doctor!" Zhou Ruoxi was extremely anxious and hurriedly called out to Cuicui.
"Oh? Young Master has a fever?" Cui Cui was equally startled. "Madam, please don't worry, this servant will go and fetch the doctor right away!"
After saying that, Cuicui quickly ran out.
"What should we do? What should we do?"
After Cui Cui left, Zhou Ruoxi paced back and forth anxiously.
But Zhou Ruoxi quickly calmed down, quickly filled a basin with warm water, wet a towel, and wiped the child's body.
As time ticked by, the doctor still hadn't arrived, and Zhou Ruoxi grew extremely anxious.
She had never felt that time could be so long.
Two incense sticks later, the doctor finally arrived.
"Madam, there's no need to be nervous. The young master has just been exposed to cold. I'll prescribe some medicine, and he'll be fine after drinking it three times a day."
After examining Xiao Mo, the doctor spoke to Zhou Ruoxi.
"Thank you for your help, doctor."
Zhou Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief, took out a small piece of silver from her sleeve, and gave it as an extra tip.
After accepting the medicine, the doctor quickly bowed and thanked him.
Not long after, while Xiao Mo was in a daze, he felt some liquid flowing into his mouth. It tasted very bitter. Xiao Mo instinctively wanted to spit it out, but he held back and swallowed it.
That evening, Xiao Mo worked up a sweat and felt much better.
"Mo'er will be alright, Mo'er will be fine soon, Mother will always protect Mo'er."
In a daze, Xiao Mo heard his mother's voice, but soon drifted back to sleep.
The next morning, when Xiao Mo woke up, he felt much better, probably because his fever had subsided.
"Mo'er, you're awake."
Just as he came to his senses, Xiao Mo heard his mother's voice.
"mother"
Xiao Mo shouted in his childish voice.
Looking at my mother's haggard face, thick dark circles under her eyes, and even her unkempt hair...
Xiao Mo knew that his mother hadn't slept a wink since he developed a fever.
"Yes, Mother is here."
Zhou Ruoxi picked up Xiao Mo and gently rubbed his cheek.
That day, Xiao Mo was able to walk again, "pattering" along the ground.
All I can say is that this new body is really useful; it makes me sick and recovers quickly.
And it was the day after Xiao Mo developed a fever that the second young master of the Xiao family celebrated his birthday.
Xiao Yishe, the second young master of the Xiao family, was born to the Xiao family's legal wife. He was born a year earlier than Xiao Mo, and their birth dates were close.
Although it was only Xiao Yishe's second birthday, the Xiao family mansion was decorated with great fanfare, and many high-ranking officials, nobles, relatives and friends from the Qin Kingdom came to congratulate the second young master, Xiao Yishe.
On the day of the banquet, Zhou Ruoxi led Xiao Mo to the front courtyard of the Xiao residence.
This was also the first time Xiao Mo had left his mother's courtyard.
It truly lives up to its reputation as the residence of the Prince of Zhenbei.
The Prince of Zhenbei's mansion was extremely large, even including mountains, water, and lakes.
In Xiao Mo's view, its scale was only slightly smaller than his own palace.
"Mo'er, let's sit here and eat whatever you want." Zhou Ruoxi helped Xiao Mo sit down in a chair and rubbed his head.
"Ooh."
Xiao Mo nodded, his big eyes watching the people coming and going.
Everyone was celebrating the birthday of the second young master, Xiao Yishe.
Xiao Yishe's clothes looked even more luxurious and elegant.
Even the King of Qin sent congratulatory gifts and invitations from the palace.
Its scale was enormous.
Zhou Ruoxi turned her head and looked at her son Mo'er, whose little hands were pawing at the table, his eyes looking left and right.
A sense of guilt arose in Zhou Ruoxi's heart.
After the gift-giving ceremony was completed, the maids of the Xiao family began to serve the dishes.
These dishes are all delicacies from land and sea; not a single dish is cheap.
Xiao Mo even learned from conversations with others that the King of Qin had specially ordered the imperial chefs from the palace to come to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion to cook for the second young master on his birthday.
As for my birthday in a few days, will I have such a grand celebration?
Without even thinking about it, it's definitely not true.
The Xiao family would even ignore it completely.
However, Xiao Mo didn't take it to heart.
Three days after the second young master of the Xiao family celebrated his birthday, it was Xiao Mo's birthday.
As expected, no one cared about Xiao Mo's birthday, given that he was born out of wedlock.
But on this morning, as soon as Xiao Mo got up, his mother dressed him in a festive red outfit.
Cui Cui bought a lot of red lanterns and red ribbons to decorate the yard.
Cui Cui even bought a lot of pastries, snacks, fresh fruits and vegetables, chicken, duck, fish and meat from outside.
Xiao Mo sat in the courtyard, playing with snowballs while watching his mother and Aunt Cui busy themselves.
They all had happy smiles on their faces.
As night falls, red lanterns are lit, their warm glow mingling with the bright moonlight to illuminate the entire courtyard.
Zhou Ruoxi and Cuicui brought the prepared dishes into the house.
The room was filled with the aroma of food.
"Mo'er."
Zhou Ruoxi squatted down in front of the child, held the child's little hand, and looked tenderly into the child's big eyes.
"Your mother is useless. She can't give your second brother a lively birthday banquet like this, nor can she invite many people to celebrate with you. She also doesn't have much money to buy expensive dishes. Your mother and Aunt Cui can only celebrate your birthday in this courtyard. You won't blame your mother, will you?"
Xiao Mo shook his head vigorously, and said in a childish voice, word by word, "Mommy's porridge."
Zhou Ruoxi was slightly taken aback, but quickly understood what the child was saying. Her eyes flickered, and she hugged her child tightly: "Mother loves Mo'er too."
"Young Master, Young Master, this is my birthday gift for you. Please don't find it offensive." Cui Cui took out a silver bracelet and happily slipped it onto Xiao Mo's wrist.
Looking at the silver bracelet, Xiao Mo knew that it had cost at least half a year's worth of Aunt Cui's savings.
"How wonderful." Xiao Mo revealed a happy expression.
"Hehehe, I'm glad you like it, young master." Seeing that the young master liked it, Cui Cui was even happier.
"Mo'er, this is your first birthday gift from your mother."
Zhou Ruoxi hung a jade pendant around Xiao Mo's neck.
"Mother doesn't care what achievements you make in the future."
Mother only hopes for Mo'er
May you have peace and safety year after year.
