Jiang Ningbao didn't know that she had unintentionally vomited blood from the excitement of giving birth to the heroine. As soon as she woke up, she saw a handsome man half leaning against the bed with his eyes closed.
The delivery room had already been tidied up at this time, the smell of blood had long since dissipated, and her body was wiped clean, and she put on a clean and loose robe.
The candlelight was flickering, the brazier was crackling and burning, and the room was warm. When Jiang Ningbao saw Duke Ding next to him, he felt a sense of peace and sweetness in his heart.
She was about to sit up with her aching body, and this movement immediately woke up Duke Ding.
He suddenly opened a pair of sharp eyes, and immediately retracted the moment he saw Jiang Ningbao, his eyes were full of surprise: "Ningbao, are you awake?" After finishing speaking, he gently picked her up in distress, picked her up A pillow is placed behind the head, allowing Jiang Ningbao to lean on comfortably.
"Well, how long have I been asleep?"
Jiang Ningbao's throat is a little dry, and his voice is a little hoarse. It is estimated that during the delivery, he sweated too much, which caused his body to lack water.
She thought of the pair of sons she gave birth to, who were not there, Jiang Ningbao couldn't help but asked worriedly, "Where are the children?"
"Now it's Zishi, you have slept for about three hours, the child is with the mother, don't worry, the children will not be hungry, they all fell asleep after drinking the nurse's milk."
After Ding Guogong finished speaking, he put a loving kiss on her forehead, got up and poured Jiang Ningbao a glass of warm water, brought it to her, and fed her water gently.
"Drink saliva to moisturize your throat first."
Jiang Ningbao didn't expect that she would sleep for six hours as soon as she fell asleep. No wonder she was so relaxed. She drank a glass of warm water, and the warm water slid down her throat, moisturizing her thirsty throat. Jiang Ningbao felt much more comfortable. Knowing that her After the children had eaten the milk from the nannies, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She still overestimated herself.
After giving birth to two children, she was still exhausted.
At first she was reluctant to use a nanny, but later the old lady persuaded her and specially prepared two emergencies.
Now it really comes in handy.
Fortunately, the babies were not hungry.
"Has Doctor Chen checked the children, how is it?" Jiang Ningbao asked knowing that every newborn baby in a wealthy family would be checked by a doctor.
She had a very smooth pregnancy from the beginning to the end, and she didn't even have morning sickness.
"The children are very healthy." Duke Ding Xie Heng raised his lips.
This is his and Ningbao's child. After waiting for nine months, it was finally born safely. It is fake that Duke Ding is unhappy, but he dare not approach his two children now.
I can't help but feel a little regret in my heart.
He really wanted to hug his children himself.
"Ningbao, are you hungry? I'll get someone to bring over the chicken soup and bird's nest." Duke Ding thought of something, put the cup on the table, got up and went to the outside to call for his servants.
About a cup of tea, someone came over with a food box.
Ding Guogong took the food box, and personally brought out the hot bird's nest in chicken soup, and fed it to Jiang Ningbao spoonful by spoonful.
Under the flickering candlelight, Duke Dingguo's sharp and handsome face was reflected.
Jiang Ningbao can actually eat by herself, but Dingguo insisted on feeding her personally, so Jiang Ningbao had no choice but to accept Dingguo's personal feeding.
My heart is sweet.
After drinking a large bowl of chicken soup and bird's nest, Jiang Ningbao looked like a cat who had eaten enough, lazily leaning on the pillow. She glanced at Ding Guogong next to her. If she remembered correctly, just now, the Duke said When it was Zi, he couldn't help but ask with distress: "Master, why didn't you go back to your room to sleep?"
The bed in the delivery room is not big enough for two people to sleep.
Besides, this is the delivery room, so it's not good for Duke Ding to stay here.
"I don't worry about you."
Ningbao didn't wake up, Duke Ding didn't want to leave at all, she was happy to see her son and daughter-in-law have a good relationship, Mrs. Xie let him go, and happily left with her two grandchildren.
"The bed here is so small that you can't sleep in it." Jiang Ningbao murmured softly.
In fact, she didn't want Duke Ding to leave, but... it's just that there were really no other beds in the room, and she couldn't bear to wrong Duke Ding.
"It's okay, it's okay to make do with it." He stared at Jiang Ningbao quietly, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and tenderness and pity filled his heart.
After speaking, Dingguo Gong Xie Heng expressed directly with actions, gently hugged Jiang Ningbao and lay on the small bed together.
Jiang Ningbao: "..."
Her lips moved, wanting to say that this was not good, but in the end she didn't refuse. The delivery went smoothly, her body was in good shape, and she recovered very quickly. After three hours of recuperation, the pain was no longer there.
The stomach has deflated, but she's still a little...well, just a little fat.
Jiang Ningbao was a little embarrassed to let Duke Ding see it, but he leaned in Duke Ding's arms very naturally and honestly.
The corner of Ding Guogong's mouth turned up slightly, and he gently hugged him in his arms and closed his eyes to fall asleep.
next day
A bright light came in through the window lattice.
The brazier in the room was still burning, Jiang Ningbao blinked unconsciously, the Duke Ding beside him was no longer there, and Chunxi and Chunle were talking quietly in the room.
Jiang Ningbao sat up holding the quilt.
What she wants to do most now is to see her pair of children. As a mother, she hasn't seen the children with her own eyes until now!
"Ma'am, you're up!" Chunxi and Chunle walked to the bed with joy when they heard the noise. They already knew that Madam woke up once in the middle of the night last night and drank chicken soup and bird's nest.
The two were very happy.
"What about the children, why didn't you see them?" Jiang Ningbao grabbed Chunxi's hand and asked eagerly.
"The two young masters are at the old lady's place. Madam, don't worry. The servant will help you wash up first. The old lady will bring the young masters over later." Chunxi said hastily.
Jiang Ningbao had no choice but to hold back her eagerness, Chunle brought the copper basin and toiletries, and the two of them waited for Jiang Ningbao to wash up before going out to call for food to be brought over.
"Where is the Duke?" Jiang Ningbao asked while drinking the chicken soup. This time the chicken soup had no taste and was not tasty at all, but Jiang Ningbao didn't dislike it.
"It's waiting outside." Chun Le said with a smile.
The Duke of the country cares about his wife, and they, who are handmaidens, are happy for her.
"Grandpa is taking a rest today?" Jiang Ningbao asked in surprise.
"No, Xie Qi said that the Duke of the State has taken a leave of absence."
Chunxi said with a little embarrassment that after she and Xie Qi got married, the relationship between the two was very good. When talking about Xie Qi in front of his wife, Chunxi was a little shy.
There was warmth in Jiang Ningbao's heart, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously.
After eating the tonic chicken soup, Jiang Ningbao can't wait to see the children.
About a quarter of an hour later, the children were carried by the nannies, and Mrs. Xie, who had a beaming face, came with her. She held Jiang Ningbao's hand kindly as soon as she came in.
"Thanks a lot."
Jiang Ningbao shook his head: "It's not hard, I like children, mother, I'll take a look at the children first." After speaking, the two nannies hugged the child in front of her very understandingly.
Looking at the two little babies wrapped in soft and thick blankets, Jiang Ningbao was filled with an unprecedented excitement, and a gentle smile rose from the corner of his mouth.
These are the two children she gave birth to.
The child's face was wrinkled and red, his small eyes were closed tightly, and his mouth moved from time to time. Jiang Ningbao loved it more and more, and couldn't help but hug the child himself.
"Ningbao, you are holding the eldest son now." Mrs. Xie said with a smile, picked up another little grandson, and sat beside Jiang Ningbao, while the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were happily talking about the child.
"By the way, Ningbao, I plan to hold a big ceremony for the three baptisms the day after tomorrow, and the full moon banquet will also be held in a month's time." This is a big happy event for the Dingguo Mansion. .
Mrs. Xie had already ordered Steward Zhao and Nanny Huang to prepare for the three baptisms.
"Listen to mother."
Jiang Ningbao has no objection. The only regret is that she is currently in confinement and cannot go out, but she will definitely attend the full moon banquet.
"Mother, can the Grand Duke hold the children?" Jiang Ningbao asked casually while hugging Zhengxiang's eldest son who was sleeping.
Mrs. Xie's smile froze, and she sighed: "Heng, he doesn't dare to get close to the child, for fear of hurting the child, so I don't know."
When Jiang Ningbao heard this, the tip of her nose felt sour, her heart seemed to be pricked by a needle, and she felt a faint pain.
"When I was pregnant, the Duke could interact with the children. I think the children should be the same as me, and they can easily approach the Duke."
Jiang Ningbao had a feeling in her heart that her children should not be affected by Ding Guogong's evil spirit.
Mrs. Xie was happy at first, but soon her face darkened. She hugged her little grandson, shook her head and said, "Let's talk about this when they are older. They are just born, they are too fragile."
This is Ah Heng's child, her grandson, no matter which one is hurt, she will be heartbroken.
Seeing Mrs. Xie's appearance like this, Jiang Ningbao felt uncomfortable. Let everything go with the flow, and everything is her feeling. If her feeling is wrong and the child is hurt, they will be even more sad.
"Mother is right, wait until they are older."
Mrs. Xie was a little depressed, but when she saw the two little grandchildren, she immediately cheered up. After talking with Jiang Ningbao, she left the two children by her side and left reluctantly.
The two babies were sleeping soundly. Jiang Ningbao drank a bowl of milk-promoting soup brought by Grandma Huang. He heard that the colostrum of pregnant women is very good for children. Of course, Jiang Ningbao would not waste it.
After the colostrum came out, the two children woke up, waiting to be fed. Jiang Ningbao thought about it, and picked up the eldest first, and carefully adjusted his posture to feed him. The little one, the eldest, couldn't wait to suck and swallow.
Jiang Ningbao's body is well maintained, with sufficient milk, and after feeding the eldest, he can also feed the remaining little one.
Huang Nai and the two nurses watched from the sidelines, especially the two nurses. They didn't expect Mrs. Guo's wife to have so much milk, and they were faintly worried that they would lose this well-paid job.
Huang Momo glanced at the two nannies, but said nothing.
The new year is approaching, and everyone in the capital knows that Duke Ding is happy to have a pair of lins. The common people offer their blessings one after another. In the joyful atmosphere, there are always one or two discordant shadows.
After Yang Shuqing vomited blood after being greatly stimulated, she just learned that Princess Qin had received an invitation from Dingguo's mansion, so she decided to find her place at the three baptisms.
Apart from Yang Shuqing, there was another person who was not at all happy. She was Mrs. Xie Er. Ever since she learned that Jiang Ningbao was pregnant, Mrs. Xie was very anxious, for fear that she would get a boy in one fell swoop.
She secretly searched for Xie Jingyi several times, but Xie Jingyi ignored him.
Mrs. Xie got angry.
