Chapter 513 Lu Zhiran Gives Birth
As spring came and flowers bloomed, Ge Xubai and Ye Hanyi's team had a smooth journey.
On the way, Lu Yanxiu suggested that he wanted to ride a horse for a run. Ge Xubai wanted to test him, so he agreed.
I thought Lu Yanxiu would give up, but I didn't expect that this guy was so strong. Even though his legs were sore, he didn't complain at all. He practiced riding skills to perfection all the way.
Seeing this, Ge Xubai couldn't help but feel admiration for his talent.
If this kid were under his command, he would definitely train him well.
It’s a pity that he is the adopted child of the Lu family and will be the one to support the Lu family in the future, so I can’t take him away.
Ye Hanyi had a sore back these days, so he sat in the carriage with Ye Xingchen.
Along the way, the little girl lifted the curtain to look out. Everything she saw was new to her and she kept saying "Wow".
When Ye Hanyi saw this, a gentle look appeared between his eyebrows.
A lady from a noble family rarely has the opportunity to go out, and this may be one of the few travel experiences for her.
This journey will surely become the most memorable one in her memory.
After walking for nearly twenty days, the group finally arrived in the capital.
Ge Xubai sent them to the capital, and without even taking a break, he rushed to Xiping with his confidants.
Due to the busy military affairs in Xiping, he had been away for more than a month and had no time to stay in the capital.
Ye Hanyi still had to go to the palace to pay a visit to Concubine Rou and say goodbye to her good sisters. She didn't want to leave in such a hurry.
So, the newlyweds faced their first separation.
Ye Hanyi took the two children to the East Palace, and Lu Zhiran came to greet them in person with her big belly.
When Ye Hanyi saw her huge belly, he exclaimed in surprise.
Lu Yanxiu and Lu Xingchen were originally a little nervous, and their attention was immediately attracted by the belly. The four of them stared at it blankly.
This belly is so big, it looks like there is a balloon inside.
Lu Xingchen said childishly, "Are there brothers and sisters living in there?"
Ye Hanyi chuckled, "The people living here are your nephews and nieces, not your brothers and sisters. You've messed up the generations."
Lu Xingchen's face suddenly turned red, full of embarrassment.
Lu Zhiran looked at the little sister. The last time she saw her, she was still a baby who needed to be held. Now, in the blink of an eye, she has grown up.
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Lu Zhiran felt that Lu Xingchen looked quite similar to herself. If someone didn’t know, they would probably think they were mother and daughter.
After all, they are blood-related sisters.
Lu Zhiran felt a little closer to her and smiled as he called her over to him.
Lu Xingchen was a little reserved and walked forward slowly.
"You must have suffered a lot this time, are you injured?"
Lu Zhiran's tone was gentle, and Lu Xingchen was no longer afraid. He spoke eloquently, "Brother has been protecting me the whole time, and I didn't get hurt. Later, we were rescued by the general. He treated us very well, and we didn't suffer much. We met many good people along the way."
Only then did Lu Zhiran look at Lu Yanxiu. He looked tense and seemed even more nervous than Lu Xingchen.
Lu Zhiran's tone was equally gentle, "Yan Xiu, you are very good. You act like a brother. The Lu family's original choice was not wrong."
When Lu Yanxiu heard this, he felt an indescribable excitement in his heart and his eyes became hot.
He had studied diligently in the past few years and did not dare to relax for a moment, for fear that he would not be recognized by the Lu family. Now, he finally got the recognition.
All his previous efforts finally paid off.
When it was time for dinner, Lu Zhiran ordered people to serve the meal.
"Let's eat first and then go back. We've already been delayed for so long, so we can still have a meal."
The brother and sister both nodded obediently in agreement.
Lu Xingchen no longer missed home as much as before. Her trip to southern Yunnan even made her reluctant to leave.
Xiao Yanci came back early today on purpose, just in time for dinner, and the maid immediately brought an extra set of bowls and chopsticks.
His arrival made the brother and sister, who had been relaxed, instantly tense. They only dared to eat in small bites and didn't dare to pick up any dishes.
Seeing this, Ye Hanyi took the initiative to help the two of them pick up food and even made some jokes.
"You two don't need to be so nervous. He doesn't eat people."
The two of them immediately looked embarrassed, but seemed a little more relaxed than before.
Lu Zhiran, however, showed some strangeness. She clutched her stomach and cried out, and Xiao Yanci felt as if he was facing a great enemy.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Zhiran groaned again, "I'm afraid I'm about to give birth."
Just one sentence made everyone confused, but Lu Zhiran was very calm.
"Everything has been arranged. There's no need to panic. Just proceed step by step."
Xiao Yanci quickly calmed down and immediately began to give orders and make arrangements.
Lu Yanxiu and Lu Xingchen were also left aside, and no one paid any attention to them.
Lu Xingchen was a little confused and didn't understand what was going on. Lu Yanxiu said like a little adult, "Chen'er will be an aunt soon."
He's going to be an uncle too.
When Lu Xingchen heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and his heart and eyes were filled with joy.
Since no one paid attention to them, they followed the crowd consciously, stayed quietly and did not cause any trouble.
The imperial physician arrived quickly.
Jiang Nansheng also came with them.
As Lu Zhiran's due date approaches, Xiao Yanci repeatedly warns her not to run around.
With the imperial physician and a reliable midwife in charge, Xiao Yanci still trusted Jiang Nansheng more in his heart, even though she herself had never given birth.
Moreover, Jiang Nansheng had secretly told him that Lu Zhiran was most likely pregnant with twins.
At first she was unable to diagnose the condition, but as the pregnancy progressed, Jiang Nansheng gradually discovered the cause.
She told Xiao Yanci privately and expressed her concerns.
"Twins are very dangerous. If Zhiran knew about this, I'm afraid it would only increase her psychological burden."
Xiao Yanci's heart was always in such a state. He kept this secret and dared not tell anyone.
Lu Zhiran's belly was frighteningly big. Xiao Yanci sometimes felt frightened when he saw it. He was looking forward to the arrival of the child, but also nervous and scared, worried about accidents during delivery.
It finally started today. Xiao Yanci looked calm on the surface, but his mind was actually confused.
It wasn't until Lu Zhiran's suppressed cries of pain began to be heard in the delivery room that he regained some of his consciousness.
He took a step forward and was about to rush in, but was stopped by Ye Hanyi.
"Why did you go in there and cause trouble?"
"I want to stay with her."
Ye Hanyi still stopped her, "You going in will only distract her."
Xiao Yanci started pacing around like a headless fly, repeating over and over again, "Why hasn't it been born yet?"
Basins of blood were brought out. Xiao Yanci's fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound, and his heartstrings were stretched to the extreme.
I don’t know how long it was, but suddenly a heart-wrenching scream was heard in the delivery room, followed by a loud cry.
The midwife's voice announcing the good news came from the delivery room, "Congratulations, Crown Princess, it's a little grandson."
