What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 288
The spring of Fuxi's ninth year came very early.

Huo Xiaoxiao's first child was born in the spring. It was a daughter, and she was born with six catties, and the mother and daughter were safe.

Because it was her first child, she almost exhausted all her strength. When the birth was over, her eyes turned black and she fell asleep.

This sleep lasted a full day and night, and when he woke up again, his body had already been cleaned, and the mattress underneath had also been changed.

Huo Xiaoxiao tried her best to open her eyes. Her husband was sitting next to her and kept holding her hand. He looked haggard and unshaven, his eye circles were black and bloodshot.

"What's wrong with you?"

Lin Zhengxiao let go of her hand, and his arms were powerlessly resting on the bed, like the strings of a piano that had suddenly slackened, loose and limp.

"Are you all right? How do you feel? Are you tired? Are you hungry? Do you need to call the doctor?"

Huo Xiaoxiao was startled, her erect head drooped instantly.

"I thought something happened, you look so scary, right kid?"

Knowing that the nanny took the baby away to feed him and had already put him to sleep, Huo Xiaoxiao heaved a sigh of relief.

His eyeballs rolled around, and he smiled.

"I want to eat pork liver noodles. I want to cook the noodles in chicken broth. The pork liver must be marinated in old water until fragrant, and then fried with sesame oil. The noodles must be the most old-fashioned alkaline water noodles."

I'm pretty good at eating.

Lin Zhengxiao left with the corners of her lips curled up, and went to the kitchen to explain things.

Huo Xiaoxiao leaned on the bed, and let out a long breath.

"Having a baby is not as difficult as the legend says, how can anyone step into the gate of hell?"

"I think it's okay, it's just..."

She frowned and looked at her chest, always feeling hard and burning.

"It looks like something is going to spew out, where is my child?"

Just at this time, crying sounded in the warm pavilion next door, high pitched, loud and powerful.

Huo Xiaoxiao's face immediately brightened.

"Come here and let me feed you"

Lin Zhengxiao was puzzled: "Mother has carefully selected two nannies, they are from clean and healthy families, the breast milk is sufficient, and the children are eating well."

The implication is that you don't have to work so hard, you have to feed it yourself.

"I heard from those nannies that newborn babies have to eat every hour or so. It's very hard work day and night. You should take more rest."

Huo Xiaoxiao firmly shook her head.

"It's different. I'm not afraid of hard work. This is what a mother should do."

"No matter how good someone else's is, it's someone else's, mine is mine"

"As long as I have, I am willing to dedicate everything to my children. This is also my heart as a mother."

Lin Zhengxiao couldn't say anything more.

Mrs. Lin knew it, and she only said that the child had a solid eye and a kind and down-to-earth heart.

-

The days pass by in a hurry, two or three years have passed, and the little baby girl is two or three years old in a blink of an eye, and can run, dance, talk and laugh.

At this time, Huo Xiaoxiao's stomach moved again.

But at this time, Lin's House did not have the joy of putting on lanterns and festoons, only the strong smell of medicine and the constant mourning voice.

"Ma'am, wait a little longer, my lady will be back soon"

Xie Chenyu did not abdicate, and Lin Ximeng was still a noble concubine. Even though they were not in the capital, their titles did not change.

At this time, Prince Shu in the palace is still just a prince studying in the study, assisted by the Ninth Prince and the ministers to handle the government affairs, of course these are irrelevant.

Lin Ximeng came back in April, and Mrs. Lin passed away in June.

People in the world say that if an old man can survive one winter, he can live another year, but Mrs. Lin is completely different.

Her illness had become terminal at the end of last year, and she persisted until June because she really couldn't bear to part with her daughter and grandson who was about to be born.

In the last days, Lin Ximeng was always by her mother's side, watching the vitality of life in her disappear little by little, watching the light in her eyes go out little by little.

She tried her best and used all kinds of precious medicinal materials, but she just hung her life.

In the end, Mrs. Lin had exhausted more air than breathed in, and her eyes were almost slack.

She held her daughter's hand tightly, as if she couldn't bear to let go.

"Meng'er, what are you going to do in the future?"

"Meng'er, you are such a fool, what are you going to do with your life?"

"At the beginning, I asked you to serve the emperor well and give birth to children for the emperor. Why didn't you listen?"

"What are you doing now? Still don't want to give birth to the emperor?"

"That's your own child too. Why are you so cruel, even to yourself?"

As an ancient person, Mrs. Lin certainly couldn't understand why Lin Ximeng would give up having children, why would she refuse to carry on the family line for her husband's family, wouldn't it be comfortable to be a queen mother in the palace with great wealth in the future?
Why is it like this now, with unknown identity and status, living outside, not even returning to the palace.

In the majestic palace, there is no concubine or empress to be found. I heard that every day when the prince goes to court, the prince supervises the country. The Ninth Prince and a group of loyal veterans compete with each other to make decisions.

"It must be because fate hasn't arrived yet," Lin Ximeng smiled wryly.

She thought about it, and told Mrs. Lin firmly: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely not have a child, but it is not convenient for me to have one now."

Mrs. Lin fell on her back in anger, wishing she could pull Lin Ximeng away to see what was going on in her mind.

And Lin Ximeng hurriedly asked someone to bring Mrs. Lin's medicine.

"Take it easy, don't be angry"

"Mother, I will tell you as soon as I have a child in the future"

Mrs. Lin said heavily: "I can't wait for the future"

Sure enough, she didn't wait. A few days after the mother and daughter talked angrily, a fever easily killed Mrs. Lin.

To make matters worse, Mrs. Lin was already ill in bed.

Hearing the news that her sister-in-law had passed away, she closed her eyes, kicked her legs, and almost followed her.

When Mrs. Lin passed away, there was no sign of pain or struggle at all, and the precious medicinal materials that had been boiled were also secretly poured out or put aside.

Lin Xiyan cried until her heart broke, and told Lin Ximeng piecemeal.

"To tell the truth from my sister, the most regretful thing in my mother and aunt's life is that I didn't see my mother give birth to children"

Lin Ximeng's heart was cut like a knife, but she still said firmly.

"Don't worry, I will achieve this goal as soon as possible, and I will tell them personally when the time comes"

Only then did Lin Xiyan take a good look at Sister Lin's expression.

"Sister, thank you for looking for me back then, and thank you for the in-law's family you found for me back then. It's not a good background, but it's a family with a job."

She lowered her head: "I can be considered to have no worries about food and clothing now, and my mother and sister don't have to worry about anything anymore."

One morning after the funeral.

The two sisters formally bid farewell. Before parting, Lin Ximeng said: "Be good, I won't be in the capital in the future, and you won't have anyone to rely on for anything."

Lin Xiyan took her sister's hand back.

"Coincidentally, I also want to say that my sister can come back anytime if she is unhappy outside, remember that you still have younger brothers and sisters"

"Don't worry, I will"
