Chapter 214 Concubine's Self-cultivation 5
Liu Qixia looked shy. She asked the maid to collect the bowl and she took a handkerchief to wipe Zhao Jinyu's mouth.
"As long as Brother Jinyu likes it."
Zhao Jinyu held Liu Qixia's hand, and the two walked towards the inner room.
In the morning, Xiaoying told Nanxi that Zhao Jinyu left Furong Courtyard in a rage in the middle of the night last night and also lost his temper at Liu Qixia. Liu Qixia has been crying since last night.
Nan Xi stroked her belly and said, "This is just the beginning. It can be considered a little bit of interest."
The medicine Nan Xi gave was naturally not that simple. Even the imperial physician could not find any signs of drug administration.
For the next period of time, Nan Xi did not see Zhao Jinyu. She lived quietly in Jingya Courtyard, waiting for the birth of the child.
The whole palace was undercurrent. Zhao Jinyu invited many doctors, but none of them could find out what was wrong. He became much more gloomy, his eyes became dull, and there was always sadness on his face.
The baby in Nan Xi's belly was about to be born. On the day of delivery, the old lady attached great importance to it and came personally to sit outside Jingya Courtyard. The four midwives looked at each other and entered the delivery room.
Nan Xi sat on the bed and gave each of the four people a loyalty talisman. The four maids immediately knelt on the ground and confessed their crimes.
A maid took out a paper bag and showed it to Nan Xi with both hands.
"Master, this is the medicine given by the old lady. We will never give it to you and make you bleed profusely..."
"Master, we will ensure that the little master is born smoothly, so don't worry."
Nan Xi put the medicine away and waved for someone to get up, "Deliver the baby."
The four of them each performed their duties and served Nan Xi in an orderly manner, trying to make her as comfortable as possible.
Nan Xi was not worried. She had taken a pill for smooth delivery. The elixir would make childbirth very smooth and painless.
The excess medicinal power will also repair her body and slowly restore it to the state before pregnancy. This was obtained from the trading system in the previous world, and it is just in time to be used now.
The delivery room was quiet. A quarter of an hour later, Nanny Wang, the midwife, brought out a full-term baby boy.
"Congratulations, old lady. Aunt Nan gave birth to a little master."
The old lady looked puzzled, "Okay, okay! How is Aunt Nan?"
Nanny Wang said joyfully, "Aunt Nan is in very good health, mother and child are safe, everything is fine."
The old lady's face suddenly turned bad, "You..."
Nanny Li held the old lady's arm and said, "Madam, what great joy!"
The old lady came back to her senses and nodded, "Reward!"
When Zhao Jinyu heard that he had another son, he was not happy at all. He had lost his masculinity and this might be his last child.
He didn't want to go at all, but he had to go.
Holding his newborn son, Zhao Jinyu felt like his father had died again.
Liu Qixia was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she couldn't show it, and she had to reward Aunt Nan.
"Aunt Nan has done a great job. I'll give all the best tonics to her."
Zi Yan brought a bunch of supplements to Jingyayuan, and when she came back she saw Liu Qixia throwing cups again.
"Master, please take care of yourself and be careful not to hurt your hands."
Liu Qixia hugged Zi Yan and started crying, "Why is my life so miserable?"
She couldn't tell anyone about Zhao Jinyu's health, as the maids didn't know about it yet.
Just as she was crying, Nanny Li came and said, "Princess, the old lady wants to see you."
Liu Qixia didn't understand why the old lady wanted to see her at this time. Did she want to suppress her? After washing up, she went to the Ankang Hospital.
The old lady was sitting on the armchair. When she saw Liu Qixia come in, she sighed.
"I already know about Jinyu's illness. I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."
Liu Qixia didn't say anything, she just kept wiping her tears. She originally thought she could endure it, but now that the old lady was comforting her, she felt wronged.
The old lady used to look down on her daughter-in-law. She relied on her son's favor and never took herself seriously.
She was also arrogant and jealous because of her favor, and she did not allow the prince to take a concubine. Until now, her son has only one wife and two concubines in his room.
How could a prince live such a miserable life? But her son just fell for her tricks, and she couldn't do anything about it.
Now that my son has become a disabled person, I can only please my daughter-in-law to ensure peace in my family. It's really a sin.
The old lady softened her voice and advised, "Qixia, don't cry. You and Jinyu have a deep relationship, and you don't want him to lose his reputation. Fortunately, Jinyu still has two sons. This is a blessing in disguise."
When Liu Qixia thought that those two sons were not hers, she couldn't help but feel sad and shed more tears.
The old lady was annoyed, but she had to comfort him.
"Qixia, listen to your mother's advice. In life, the one who laughs last is the winner. Don't worry about who gave birth to you. If you raise your child, he or she is yours."
Liu Qixia paused and looked at the old lady with tearful eyes. Was this what she thought?
The old lady nodded. "Originally, I was planning to make Aunt Nan have a difficult birth, but unfortunately her body was too weak. She was still safe after taking the medicine. We can only wait for the next opportunity."
It’s a pity for the old lady. With her body like this, it would be so easy for her to give birth. If her son was in good health, it would be great if he could have more children.
Liu Qixia thought about it and understood what the old lady meant. She rolled her eyes a few times and agreed.
"Thank you, mother, for planning this for me."
Seeing that she appreciated it, the old lady felt relieved. The two reached a consensus and went their separate ways, waiting for Aunt Nan to "die of illness" so that the child could be registered under the name of the legitimate mother.
Nan Xi didn't have to worry about anything while she was in confinement after giving birth. Everyone in Jingya Courtyard had a loyalty talisman posted on them, and they were all hers, so there was no need to worry about betrayal.
In the spacious and bright bedroom, light green curtains are hung on the wall. There are several pots of flowers placed on a small table by the window in the room, emitting a faint fragrance, adding a touch of vitality to the room.
Nan Xi leaned back on the carved wooden bed. Beside the bed was a small table with various nourishing soups and snacks on it.
The bed was covered with soft bedding. She was wearing a loose cotton pajamas, her hair was simply tied behind her head, and her face was rosy, looking very healthy.
Yun Chu brought some tonic food, "Aunt, it's time to drink the chicken soup. This is freshly cooked in the kitchen. It's best to drink it while it's hot."
Nan Xi looked over and said with a smile, "I'm tired of drinking chicken soup every day."
Yun Chu put down the bowl and said, "Auntie, chicken soup is the most nutritious. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare pigeon soup tomorrow so we can change the taste."
After Yun Chu left with the bowl, Zhao Moxuan took the wet nurse and ran into the room, skipping and jumping.
Zhao Moxuan: "Aunt, I'm here to see you! They said you were making the 'moon'. What does it mean to make the 'moon'?"
Zhao Moxuan is almost three years old and is slowly starting to talk more.
Nan Xi couldn't help but smile, "Xuan'er, Auntie is not doing 'moon', she is sitting in confinement, this is to make the body recover better."
Zhao Moxuan: "Oh, then Auntie, please get better soon. I want to play with you."
Nan Xi: "Auntie also wants to play with Xuan'er, we can do it in a few days."
"Okay, then I'll wait for my aunt."
