When Jiujiu closed the clothing store and stayed at home on the balcony, Xiang Bei came back.
It had been almost a month since she last saw Xiang Bei.
Jiujiu looked at Xiang Bei, who came back early, in surprise. She asked in confusion, "Why are you back so early today?"
Xiang Bei sat in front of Jiujiu with a relaxed smile on his face. "The Emperor gave me a job. I need to stay at home for a few months. Madam, you won't dislike me for living off a woman, right?"
Jiujiu pinched Xiang Bei's cheeks, which had become thin because he was too busy. She chuckled and said, "I'll gladly do it."
Jiujiu's answer made Xiang Bei smile brightly.
Xiang Bei carefully pulled Jiujiu into his arms and lowered his head to kiss Jiujiu's cheek. He looked down at Jiujiu's round belly and said longingly, "I can watch our child be born."
"That's true."
Jiujiu was about to give birth. If Xiang Bei continued to be as busy as before, he really wouldn't be able to see the birth of the child.
Jiujiu rubbed her head against Xiang Bei's chest. "Husband, you're so nice."
"It's my wife who is nice." Xiang Bei moved his body and tried to make Jiujiu more comfortable. He said softly, "Do you still remember the first time we met?"
Jiujiu burst into laughter. "You imitated others and chiseled a hole in my room. I went to confront you. How can I not remember?"
Jiujiu only used a few simple words to vividly describe what happened at that time. Xiang Bei smiled helplessly. "Yes, I really had no choice at that time, so I came up with that idea. But now, I feel that chiseling a hole in the wall was the most correct thing I did in my life. If I hadn't chiseled a hole in your wall, how could I have such a good wife like you?"
Xiang Bei's words made Jiujiu pause. She also laughed. "That's right. If you hadn't chiseled a hole in the wall, I wouldn't have gone there. I also wouldn't have pitied you and asked you to enlighten the two children."
It was also because of this that there were disputes later on.
Xiang Bei stroked Jiujiu's round belly from time to time. "Time flies. A few days ago, Jie and Xiaoshu were hugging my leg and acting coquettishly. In the blink of an eye, our child is about to be born."
"Yes, time spares no man."
"Madam, you're wrong." Xiang saw saw Jiujiu rubbing her eyes. he helped Jiu to walk to the bedroom and said with a smile, "I still remember when I first met, I thought we were the same age... but now, everyone thinks I'm the age is............ when, I said, I was was was the age age... but you, I.. was the age when I was..., I, I was the age age's's.. and I's.
"You're the only one with a sweet mouth."
The two talked until they reached the bedroom. Seeing the soft bed, Jiujiu couldn't help but yawn.
Xiang Bei quickly made the bed and helped Jiujiu lie down. After a few breaths, Jiujiu fell asleep.
Looking at Jiujiu's peaceful sleeping face, Xiang Bei felt an indescribable satisfaction. After feeling satisfied, his eyes deepened.
Xiang Bei told Jiujiu that the Emperor had given him a job and that he had to stay at home for a few days. But the next day, Steamed Bun told Jiujiu that Xiang Bei had done something that displeased the Emperor and had been removed from his position.
Jiujiu felt that Xiang Bei couldn't have been removed from his position. There must be a twist in the story.
Xiang Bei didn't want to tell her, so she pretended not to know.
Jiujiu told Steamed Bun not to mention this in front of Xiang Bei. Just like before, she ate and walked with Xiang Bei every day.
During the month that Jiujiu was about to give birth, Jiujiu and Xiang Bei spent their days very leisurely.
Soon, Jiujiu was born.
Jiujiu didn't trust the midwives here, so Steamed Bun was the one who helped her deliver the baby.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Jiujiu gave birth to a girl.
Modern people favored boys over girls, not to mention in this ancient era where men were superior to women.
The old woman who came to help Steamed Bun saw that Jiujiu gave birth to a girl and hurriedly comforted her, "Don't worry, madam. As the saying goes, a girl and a boy are good together. Since the girl came first, the boy will be next."
The old woman's words made Steamed Bun, who liked girls, unhappy. Steamed Bun picked up Jiujiu's child and muttered unhappily, "What's wrong with the girl? What's wrong with the girl?"
The old woman didn't expect Steamed Bun to refute her comforting words. She looked at Steamed Bun helplessly and repeatedly apologized, "Girl, that's not what I meant."
"Steamed Bun." Jiujiu stopped Steamed Bun from being aggressive. She looked at her child gently and said, "Take him out for Xiang Bei to see."
Seeing that Jiujiu wanted him to take the child to Xiang Bei, Steamed Bun hurriedly took the child out for Xiang Bei to see.
Xiang Bei was a true ancient person. He also wanted to have a son.
But because the person who gave birth to his child was Jiujiu, he would like Jiujiu regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl.
In fact, because the girl looked more like Jiujiu, he liked her even more.
Seeing that Steamed Bun carried the child over, Xiang Bei hurriedly reached out to take the child.
But soon, his body stiffened.
Even though Steamed Bun had already wrapped the child up, the newborn child was like a ball of water. It was soft. Xiang Bei, who was touching a newborn for the first time, didn't know how to carry the child he had been looking forward to for a long time.
Seeing that Xiang Bei was at a loss, Steamed Bun chuckled and taught Xiang Bei how to carry the child.
Xiang Bei carried the child. The old woman, who had already tidied up Jiujiu, came out to tell Steamed Bun that everything was ready inside.
Hearing the old woman say that everything was ready inside, Xiang Bei hurriedly rushed in with the child.
Giving birth to a child was a torturous thing. Even though Bao Jiujiu's speed was already very fast, she was still sweating all over. Her hair was especially sticky and stuck to her face.
Seeing Xiang Bei come in, Jiujiu, who was about to fall asleep, smiled weakly. "Why did you come in?"
Xiang Bei put the child on the prepared crib and held Jiujiu's hands. His eyes were red. "It's been hard on you."
Jiujiu smiled faintly, like a white and transparent jasmine flower. "It's not hard at all."
Xiang Bei lowered his head and kissed Jiujiu's forehead. "Wife, I love you."
Jiujiu looked up at Xiang Bei and smiled. She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Jiujiu received Xiang Bei's wholehearted love when she gave birth, but Pang Qing was especially cold and cheerless.
When she gave birth, her husband, Official Li, was still a concubine and didn't come out at all.
She risked her life to give birth to a son. Official Li only grunted and came to see her. He told the servant girls to take good care of her and never came again.
If it was before, Pang Qing would definitely ask Imperial Tutor Pang to make a decision for her. However, because the matter of her pretending to fall at the palace banquet and framing Jiujiu was exposed, the relationship between the two of them, which had already started to thin, was as clear as water. After the concubine entered the room, there was a gentle and considerate concubine. Naturally, Lord Li completely disliked her, a woman who could even give up her child.
