Chapter 191

Views:

Ye Jiao heard the words and immediately sat up, but did not call Qi Yun, but was about to step over Qi Yun, who was lying on the outside, to get out of bed secretly.

But because it was pitch black in the bed tent, Qi Yun didn't see Ye Jiao's movements. When she leaned over, Qi Erlang, who was still asleep, sat up, and then felt his forehead bumped. Something, he was caught off guard and pressed directly back to the bed.

Little Ginseng didn't expect Qi Yun to fall asleep, but only felt a pain in his jaw, so he fell down unconsciously, and pressed it firmly on his husband's body. He waved his hand to the side subconsciously, not knowing what was being photographed. .

"Boom!"

This sound was very clear. Ye Jiao thought that Qi Yun had hit her head, and hurriedly rubbed her hands on the man's face, and asked eagerly, "Did you hit him? Does it hurt?"

Qi Yun wrapped her arms around the woman's waist with a backhand, followed her back to comfort her, and said in her mouth, "It's okay, maybe the bed was pushed down."

Ye Jiao just remembered that before going to bed, she lit a candle on the bed to read the account, and when she slept, she just put it on the bed table, I was afraid that she had just pushed it off, and then she made a move.

Seeing that Ye Jiao didn't speak, Qi Yun hugged her and sat up, opened the bed tent, and lit the candlestick with the fire book.

The little ginseng probed over, and sure enough, he saw the upside-down bed table and the account book lying on the ground.

Ye Jiao wanted to pick it up, but Qi Yun first took the coat on the side and put it on her, and said slowly, "Don't worry, put on your clothes first and then go, the temperature is lower these few days, don't pass the cold. "

Even though she was in a hurry, Ye Jiao nodded, quickly put on her clothes, and after getting out of bed, she trotted to the makeup mirror to pull up her hair in a bun. She didn't choose her hairpin carefully. Just keep the hairpin in place.

But when she turned around, Ye Jiao saw that Qi Yun was also dressed properly, and was going to light a lantern with a fire stick.

Ye Jiao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You don't have to go, Mr. Xiang."

Qi Yun put the fire book in place, then took the lantern and looked at Ye Jiao from the makeup mirror, her eyebrows soft: "It's too late, I'll take you there."

The little ginseng blinked. Originally, she was thinking about having a baby. She was afraid that she would have to toss all night. With Hua Ning's first child, it would take some time. Qi Yun has always been in poor health and should have a good rest.

At this moment, when Qi Yun only said to send her there, Ye Jiao thought that after the delivery, she would let Qi Yun come back and go to sleep, so she nodded with a smile.

Tie Zi had already set up the carriage, while Xiao Su had properly arranged the inside of the carriage and made a tight perimeter. Because of the cold in the past two days, he also prepared a thick cloak and a heater in the carriage before going out. At that time, he called four little servants and accompanied them with lanterns on the left and right of the carriage, and then the carriage slowly headed towards Hua Ning Mansion.

Since it was late at night, there were not many people on the street, but there were still vendors on both sides of the road, mostly selling wontons or noodle soup with soup and water. In the heat, some people who came home late went over to pay for a bowl, and the conversation in twos and threes was lively.

However, when he entered the alley where Hua Ning's mansion was located, the surroundings were quiet, with only sporadic sounds coming out.

Ye Jiao couldn't help but look at Qi Yun, a little uncertain: "Why is there no movement?"

Even though the Ye Mansion and the Princess Mansion are mostly high-profile households, there is usually some noise, and it is the first time I have encountered such quietness.

Qi Yun said softly: "The people who live here are all very shrewd. They have good ears and eyesight, and they will know if there is any trouble in other people's homes. Now that the eldest princess is giving birth, anyone who has a wink will make the family quieter and not disturb, and the eldest brother before. As I said before, I invited the people from the Deli Palace beside the Empress to look after me, and I think there are rules, so it’s a good thing if you don’t mess up.”

Ye Jiao felt that what Qi Yun said was reasonable, so she nodded.

At this time, the carriage stopped, and Ye Jiao put the hot tea in Qi Yun's hand into Qi Yun's hand, and said, "Go back to sleep quickly, don't delay." Then she helped Xiao Su's hand down carriage.

Before entering the door, Ye Jiao saw that there was a horse-drawn carriage parked next to her. The decorations on the outside of the carriage were very familiar. It was Shi's frame.

"Yingxiu is here too, let's go, let's hurry." Then Ye Jiao hurriedly entered the door with Xiao Su.

At this time in the mansion, although there are many servants, it is very quiet.

Originally, Ye Pingrong only asked Queen Meng to get a palace servant, but the relationship between Queen Meng and Hua Ning was unusual, and Chu Chengyun also loved this sister very much. There were more than 30 palace servants who came over.

These were all handled by Empress Meng herself, and it was the most appropriate. Many of them were elderly people in the palace, and they were very experienced in giving birth. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner at the moment, and there was no panic at all.

It was not until outside Hua Ning's bedroom that Ye Jiao could vaguely hear some cries of pain.

Ye Jiao didn't go in rashly. After all, although she had something to save lives, the little ginseng didn't know how to deliver babies, so it wouldn't help much if she went in, but it only added to the chaos.

She looked left and right, and saw Shi Shi who was sitting outside the inner room.

Shi Shi also saw Ye Jiao, so she got up and said, "Jiao Niang, come and sit."

Ye Jiao nodded, stepped forward and sat beside Shi.

There was a palace servant who didn't know Ye Jiao, hesitant in his expression, and wanted to ask, but there was Queen Meng who was waiting next to her and pulled her to say something in a low voice. The palace servant was stunned for a moment, then whispered in surprise Said: "Is this the legendary lady of the Ye family?"

Although she hadn't seen Ye Jiao, the news that the lady of the Ye family saved the Queen's wife and got the iron voucher for the Danshu has spread all over the palace!

Even if there is no official appointment, this lady is much more face than ordinary Mrs. Gao Ming. Now that she sees the real person, the palace servant can't help but take a second look.

These words made Ye Jiao look at her in a daze. She really didn't quite understand how she became a legend.

The palace servant didn't dare to say anything, for fear of offending Ye Jiao, he just walked away with the copper basin, ready to change the hot water.

Ye Jiao didn't even bother to look at her, but took Shi Shi's hand and asked, "How is Hua Ning?"

Shi Shi smiled, reached out and patted the back of Ye Jiao's hand, and said, "Don't worry, there is a doctor girl in there, and the midwife also said that the eldest princess's baby was smooth, and they were well prepared."

Ye Jiao was relieved.

Maybe it's because she didn't have much experience like this. Even if she had three dolls, her life was still different from her own. Adding up, Ye Jiao only saw Empress Meng give birth to a child.

But that time could be regarded as a lifetime of nine deaths, if there was no Bai Hongguo to save her life, I am afraid that Queen Meng would end up with one corpse and two lives.

Even though the little ginseng knew that Hua Ning was in good health and nothing major would happen, but the last time Queen Meng's experience left her with a tragic impression, Ye Jiao couldn't help but think more.

Fortunately, now that Shi Shi is also there, the two of them will be better off together.

In comparison, Shi Shi seemed much calmer.

She doesn't have children, but Wen Minsong's concubine, Sun's, had one. Shi's watched her give birth to children, and people in the capital often have women who give birth. The more you experience, the more you can find out. some doorways.

For ordinary people, this is just a walk before the gate of hell, life and death have their destiny.

But for a delicate person like Hua Ning, when she is pregnant, there will be countless experienced mother-in-law people waiting by her side to give advice on what to eat and what not to eat, what to do every day to help ease the miscarriage and prepare for labor, all kinds of things Some people specifically instructed to operate.

Ordinary people think that noble women are more delicate and expensive than ordinary people's muscles and bones, but in fact, unless they are especially frail, if they take care of their bodies carefully and exercise properly, the danger is much smaller.

Just seeing that the palace servants were not nervous, and the doctor girl also seemed very calm, Shi Shi knew that Hua Ning would not have a major incident this time.

However, Shi Shi didn't say anything to comfort Ye Jiao. First, it's hard to talk nonsense when the child is not born. Second, Ye Jiao won't listen to whatever you say at this moment. It's better to wait quietly. .

Shi Shi just let Ye Jiao hold her, and stared at Ye Jiao from time to time, her eyes became more and more gentle.

She used to know Ye Jiao's conduct, her heart was pure and kind, and she was a simple person. The urgency and worry at this moment were particularly touching. To be remembered by this person was a heart-warming thing in itself.

Shi Shi couldn't help thinking that he had done a lot of wrong things before. It was a mistake to be deceived by Wen Minsong. It was a mistake to not trust his brother and sister-in-law. Later, he still had hope for the Wen family. , What made her escape from the layers of mistakes was that she went to visit Qi's house that day.

After seeing Jiao Niang, it seems that the world has changed color.

She moved closer to Ye Jiao, and the corners of Shi Shi's mouth were slightly raised.

However, the pain in the inner room brought back Shi Shi's sanity, and she quickly threw away all the thoughts in her head, and only cared about Hua Ning inside with Ye Jiao.

Originally, Ye Jiao thought that the first baby would take a lot of work, but after less than two hours, she heard the sound of a baby falling to the ground in the inner room.

Ye Jiao and Shi Shi stood up at the same time, took a few steps forward, and saw someone from the palace pushing the door out of the inner room. When they saw them, they smiled and bowed down: "Mrs Qi, Madam Shi, Your Highness is born, It's a boy, and both mother and son are safe."

Ye Jiao doesn't care if it's a man or a woman, what she wants is the peace of mother and son.

The eagerness just now disappeared, and Ye Jiao had a smile on her face, and hurriedly asked, "Can we go in and see Hua Ning?"

The palace servant said respectfully: "The servant came out to invite the two ladies. His Highness is awake and wants to see the two ladies."

Ye Jiao immediately pulled Shi Shi into the inner room.

As soon as you enter, you can smell blood.

Even though spice was used, it still couldn't be completely concealed, and because the windows could not be opened for fear of the cold, so it was only good to endure it.

But neither Ye Jiao nor Shi Shi didn't care about this. They walked around the screen and smiled when they saw Hua Ning lying beside a baby with a wipe on his head.

Especially Shi Shi, the usually very prudent woman seemed particularly excited at this moment, and she didn't even care about being dignified, she squatted on the ground, looked at the little doll, and her voice was full of joy: "Look, it's really beautiful. little guy."

When Hua Ning heard this, the corners of his mouth curved, but his face was tired and his voice was small: "I'll wait until he grows up, but he's quite energetic."

Ye Jiao asked Hua Ning softly, "Is it still uncomfortable?"

Hua Ning looked at her and said softly, "I can't tell, it's a little sore, and it doesn't hurt if it hurts too much." Hua Ning felt inexplicably aggrieved when he spoke, and looked at the little guy who was sleeping with his eyes closed. She couldn't help but mutter, "An He, if you treat your mother badly in the future, I will definitely not let you go."

Ye Jiao laughed when she heard the words, but also knew that Hua Ning was suffering, so she reached out and touched her arm.

And Shi Shi was surprised: "So soon to have a good name?"

Hua Ning nodded, still looking at Xiao Anhe, and said, "Before Ping Rong left, I decided on a name with him. If it is a boy, it will be called An He, and if it is a daughter, it will be called Ling'er."

Shi Shi listened to it, pondered it carefully, and found the deep meaning.

Ordinary parents name their children with some meaning.

Some pay attention to cheap names so that they can support themselves, while others use words that represent beautiful meanings to give their children sustenance.

This Anhe, think of it as Anshun Peace.

Shi Shi felt that Hua Ning couldn't bear Ye Pingrong, even as the eldest princess, she actively encouraged Ye Pingrong to protect the family and defend the country, go into battle to kill the enemy, and let Ye Pingrong do his due responsibilities as a general and consort, but in her heart, after all, I feel sorry for Ye Pingrong.

If the world is at peace and there will be no more wars, a general like Ye Pingrong can also be at peace.

However, Shi Shi didn't say these words clearly. He just smiled and listened to Ye Jiao and Hua Ning talking. After Hua Ning closed his eyes and fell asleep, the two of them left the inner room lightly.

After going out, they did not leave immediately, but were left to rest by the palace servants, saying that this was what Hua Ning meant.

After all, both of them are women, and it was already a toss-up before nightfall. Now that they are approaching Zi Shi, it will inevitably be a little inconvenient to go back in the dark. It is appropriate to stay in the mansion temporarily.

Ye Jiao and Shi Shi did not reject this kindness either. The two went to rest in the wing together, probably because they were worried for a long time, they were nervous, and they closed their clothes and went to sleep without saying anything.

When she woke up, it was still before dawn, but Ye Jiao couldn't lie down, so she sat up on the bed board.

When Shi Shi saw her getting up, he also got up and asked, "Jiao Niang is going back?"

"I'm a little worried about my husband." Ye Jiao always had Qi Yun in mind. The two rarely lived in separate rooms. Even when they were confinement, they lived separated by a wall. Now that they are separated, Ye Jiao is always a little uneasy.

Shi Shi could see Ye Jiao's thoughts, and followed Ye Jiao to get up. After the two men tidied up their clothes and buns, they pushed open the door and asked the maid at the door, "Is Hua Ning awake?"

"Back to the two ladies, the master is still asleep."

"Then let's go back first, when she wakes up and speaks for us."

After speaking, the two of them let people carry the lanterns and walked towards the gate one after the other.

When passing through the corridor, Ye Jiao turned her head inadvertently and saw a person standing behind the rockery.

Little Ginseng's eyesight is still good, even if the night is hazy, she can still recognize the person over there as Liu Rong.

This person, I am afraid, is here to find Yingxiu.

She was about to speak to Shi Shi, but she heard Shi said, "I went to the temple to ask Hua Ning for a signature. Now Hua Ning's mother and child are safe, and I should go to repay the vow."

Ye Jiao smiled and said, "I'll go with you then," her voice paused slightly, "But I looked at you and seemed to have guessed that it was a boy?"

Shi Shi smiled lightly and said, "I have always been a sour girl. I gave Hua Ning two baskets of sour kiwifruit. She didn't eat any leftovers. It's not hard to guess."

Ye Jiao also recalled the kiwi fruit that almost made her teeth sour before. Even if she just listened to it now, she felt sour in her mouth.

However, no one had ever mentioned this sour girl to Ye Jiao before, so she was a little curious: "But I ate everything at that time, and I never had a taboo."

Shi Shi smiled and said, "So there is Ning Bao and Ruyi."

Ye Jiao nodded suddenly, feeling that Shi Shi was right.

And Xiao Su, who was holding a lantern beside her, muttered in her heart that even when there was Young Master Xu, the young mistress did not have any taboos. She could only say that the young mistress ate everything, which was very different from ordinary people.

After a while, he came to the door.

When Ye Jiao went out, she saw that her carriage was still parked in the same place, and Qi Yun was lifting the curtain to look out.

At a glance, I knew that this person was afraid that he had not left, and was waiting for her outside.

Ye Jiao's footsteps stopped suddenly, and she whispered, "I told him to go back..."

Shi Shi also looked over there, and when he saw Qi Yun's face, he understood what was going on. He couldn't help but squeeze Ye Jiao's wrist with a smile, and covered his mouth with a handkerchief and said softly, "Jiao Niang, hurry up and go over there. I'm afraid your husband is waiting for you in a hurry."

Shi Shi said this to make fun of her, and what she was looking forward to seeing was Ye Jiao's blushing face.

Who knew Ye Jiao nodded directly and said, "Well, then I'll go, Yingxiu, be careful on your way."

Shishi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again, thinking that it is really interesting to have such a simple and straightforward friend.

But Ye Jiao just took two steps before she turned her head and said to Shishi, "I just saw that Master Liu wanted to talk to you, I'm afraid he will go to the orchard to look for you in a while."

The smile on Shi Shi's face immediately turned back, wanting to say that he had nothing to do with him, but he couldn't say anything.

Originally wanted to tease Ye Jiao, but who would have thought that her face would turn red instead.

Looking up again, Ye Jiao was already on the Qi family carriage.

Shi Shi covered the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and also covered the corners of his mouth with a smile, and led his wife to his carriage.

And after Ye Jiao got into the car, the first thing she did was to pounce on Qi Yun, lying in the man's arms, reaching out to pinch his ears, and muttering: "It's good to go home and sleep, Mrs. Why don't you listen? What if you are delayed and get sick?"

Qi Yun let her squeeze, and lowered her head slightly to facilitate Ye Jiao's movements, her face was soft, and said, "It's very warm in this car, I can't get cold, and even if I go back, I won't be able to sleep."

Ye Jiao thought that he was not feeling well, so she quickly let go of her hand, turned to hold Qi Yun's wrist, and asked, "Why, why can't I fall asleep?"

Qi Yun lowered his head slightly and kissed him between the brows, and said lightly, "I've long been used to being with Jiao Niang. If I can't see you, even if you give me a soft pillow from the Golden House, I won't be able to sleep."

Ye Jiao pursed her lips and asked, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. After we got married, you and I have never been separated. Even when you are confinement, I have to look at you more before I can go to sleep by myself. Now if you leave me alone, how can I sleep? It's better to stay outside and sleep more peacefully."

This is true and true. For Qi Yun, he is most comfortable only when he is by Ye Jiao's side.

Not only is the body comfortable, but also the heart is at ease.

Erlang of the Qi family was able to grit his teeth and endure the pain and work hard, first for his parents, then for Ye Jiao, and after adding a few more children, and among them, the one that Qi Yun misses the most is his own family. lady.

He wanted to support Ye Jiao and be her shelter, but he also regarded Ye Jiao as the biggest sustenance in his heart.

But Qi Yun also quietly changed the subject. Originally Ye Jiao was still puffed up, but now she has a smile. She stretched out her hand to hug Qi Yun's neck and said softly, "It's so nice to be treated by my husband."

Qi Yun smiled, released her slightly, looked aside, and said, "The wontons I just bought may not taste as good as the cook in the house, but the soup is still delicious and warm. Eat something to pamper your stomach."

"And you?"

"I have eaten, this is for you, don't go hungry."

Not to mention it was okay, Qi Yun felt a little hungry when he said Ye Jiao.

It was probably that Qi Yun was full of eyes just now, and she didn't notice what was next to her. The bowl of wontons was on the low table, and Ye Jiao didn't even see it.

I saw it now and smelled the fragrance. The little ginseng loosened Qi Yun, sat down and picked up the spoon, took a sip of the soup first, it felt very hot, and blew it when I was eating the wontons, and waited for it to cool down. These are good entrances.

This wonton is indeed not as good as the one made by Qi's family. The filling is much smaller, but when I am hungry, everything is delicious, even the simple little wonton, Ye Jiao, is happy to eat it. .

Wiping the corners of her mouth, Ye Jiao put down her spoon and sat down beside Qi Yun again.

Qi Yun put his hand on her back and patted it gently, and said, "Are you full?"

Ye Jiao nodded and said with a smile: "I'm full, it's very warm." Qi Yun was about to speak when she heard Ye Jiao say, "But you still didn't listen to me, and I won't blame you for pinching you."

Qi Yun: …

In the future, whoever will say that his wife has a bad memory will be anxious with whom.

But one yard after another, Ye Jiao still reached out and rubbed Qi Yun's ear, and asked in a low voice, "Does the pinching hurt you?"

Qi Yun didn't say whether it hurt or not. After all, Ye Jiao was never willing to work hard. He just tilted his head and said, "What about Jiao Niang?"

Ye Jiao looked a little red, thought for a while, then leaned over and blew in Qi Yun's ear.

She took care of him by taking care of Xu Bao. Xu Bao sometimes fell while walking. No matter if it hurt or not, he would not cry, but every time he would run over and hug Ye Jiao's calf, holding Ye Jiao "mother" Huhu, the pain is flying."

Over time, Ye Jiao felt that it was useful to blow air.

But what makes Little Ginseng feel strange is that normally she can blow Xu Bao a little, and he can calm down, but now she blows to Qi Yun, and this person's ears are getting more and more red.

Just when Ye Jiao was surprised, she was hugged by Qi Yun.

Then, she heard the man say in her ear: "Jiao Niang, stop blowing, or you won't be able to sleep in a while."

Ye Jiao smiled and said, "I'm not sleepy, Hua Ning's baby is born quickly, I slept with Yingxiu in it and came out."

Then, she felt the man's hands around her waist tighten, and his voice was almost murmuring: "Just right, I also slept on the carriage, and I'm not sleepy."

Ye Jiao didn't quite understand what this meant, and Qi Yun didn't explain it, so the two of them hugged and went home.

Ye Jiao didn't understand why he asked herself if she was sleepy when she was gently pressed on the bed after entering the door.

It turned out to be something laborious to do.

It just so happened that Ye Jiao was also happy now, and she thought about it after a little teasing. She stretched out her hand and pulled off the strap of the bed tent. Even if Xiao Hei called Zheng Huan outside, she couldn't stop the red tent in the room from being warm.

And the news that Hua Ning's mother and son were safe quickly spread into the palace, the emperor was overjoyed, and sent someone to send the good news to Ye Pingrong.

Usually, the generals are away, and there are very few family affairs that are specially sent to explain, so as not to shake the hearts of the army.

But now this is a happy event. Ye Pingrong will feel uneasy if he doesn't talk about it. Now that both mother and son are safe, of course, he must have been told early.

But it was less than half an hour after Chu Chengyun sent the people to announce the good news, and he didn't even leave the capital after thinking about it, so 800 li sent from the border gate rushed into the palace to report: "Reporting to the sage, General Ye used three thousand light cavalry, Greatly defeated the enemy bandits, the first battle was victorious!"

The author has something to say: Xu Bao: Mother Huhu

Qi Yun: [Looking at him] Madam, give me a blow too

Ye Jiao: I don't, it's easy to blow Xu Bao, but it's too expensive

Qi Yun: …

Blackie: Come on!

Chu Chengyun: …
