On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 381 Giving birth
Unfortunately, the flower banquet at the general's mansion was still not held.

Fortunately, before Mrs. Li sent out those posts, she received shocking news.

The new emperor will marry a new queen.

The queen is the eldest daughter of the Zhou family.

Although Xiao Xiao had already guessed it, she still couldn't help but mutter: "Tsk tsk, will she call me uncle from now on? Or husband?"

However, this kind of thing happened in the Wu Dynasty. No, now King Jin'an ascended the throne and called himself emperor, and changed the country's name to Jin. It is already the Jin Dynasty.

In the Jin Dynasty, it was common for a wife's younger sister to marry her brother-in-law, and it was not unheard of for a niece to marry her uncle.

It's just that the groom is the emperor and he is marrying a widow that makes people unable to help but talk about it.

But Xiao Xiao accepted it well. Not only in the Jin Dynasty, but even in her previous life, such things had happened to her.

It’s just that in the previous life, the man was not so responsible and only dared to keep someone outside secretly behind his wife’s back.

Now Xiao Xiao admires the new emperor. After all, he is willing to treat her as a queen rather than a concubine.

It can be said that if the new emperor only allowed Da Zhou to be a concubine, the pressure would be much less.

"Don't say anything inappropriate." Li Yan was also a little dizzy from the news. When he came to his senses and saw her gossiping face, he could only say seriously: "Xiao Xiao, we have a special status. We must not make irresponsible comments outside, lest we be caught by others."

Originally, after the princess passed away, everyone thought that the Zhou family would fall into silence.

It’s not that the Zhou family has no future. They are also a family of scholars. It’s a pity that they don’t have any particularly outstanding children or grandchildren.

Who could have thought that the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, who had become a widow and returned to her parents' home for a short stay, would become the queen.

After receiving the imperial edict, the Zhou family used the excuse of preparing for the wedding and kept a low profile and refused visitors.

Li Yuan's wife, Xiao Zhou, was the younger sister of the future empress, so many people wanted to get some inside information from Xiao Zhou or Madam Li.

Therefore, Mrs. Li, who originally wanted to hold a flower banquet, tore up all the invitations with a smile on her face.

Xiao Xiao nodded obediently: "I'll tell you."

I just hope that he will only talk to me when he has something to say, and I'm just short of saying it out loud: We are the best.

Although Li Yan is usually taciturn when he is outside, he is willing to say a few words to Xiao Xiao.

Naturally, he also knew that his wife was tight-lipped and never said a word outside, so he dared to speak to her.

Xiao Xiao felt like a spectator watching a play and never thought that the fire would burn her.

At this moment, Li Yan was not thinking about anything else, but was thinking about his wife beside him.

When I got married, I said that we would choose a good day this year to consummate the marriage.

He originally wanted to set the date in February, but now the new emperor is going to marry a queen, and Xiao Xiu is about to give birth, so he has to wait until Xiao Xiu is out of confinement.

Looking at Xiao Xiao's alluring lips and charming eyes, he couldn't help but take a breath, and his heart began to beat wildly again.

He was really worried that if he didn't consummate his marriage, his heart would suffer from serious problems.

On the second day of February, Xiao Xiao received good news. Her eldest sister gave birth to a son weighing 7.5 kilograms at the hour of Chen, and both mother and child were safe.

When she heard the news, she broke out in a cold sweat for her elder sister.

The son that Liu gave birth to before weighed a little over seven kilograms, but Liu had already given birth to these three daughters.

But Xiao Xiu is the first child.

Therefore, Xiao Xiao hurried to visit her elder sister. If she wanted to leave the house, she had to tell Madam Li first.

Madam Li is very kind to Xiao Xiao now, not only because Xiao Xiao saved her, and not entirely because she overheard what Xiao Xiao said before, but also because her own daughter-in-law is the Queen's sister.

No matter how capable the eldest son of a concubine is, he cannot compare to one's own son.

From now on, his son would be the Queen's brother-in-law and the Emperor's brother-in-law.

Therefore, Madam Li was in a good mood and called the concubines to play cards together. When she heard Xiao Xiao said that she was going to visit her eldest sister who had given birth to a son, she agreed immediately: "This is what she should do. Your eldest sister is also very lucky. When the third month is coming, if the Jiang family wants to hold a banquet, remember to ask for a notice for me so that I can also share in the joy.

He sighed again: "Our general's mansion is not prosperous enough. It would be great if you and your sister-in-law could also get some good luck and get pregnant soon."

Of course, it would be best if Mrs. Xiao gave birth to a girl and Mrs. Zhou gave birth to a boy.

Xiao Xiao was stunned after hearing this. She didn't expect Mrs. Li to speak so modestly and politely. You know, many wealthy and powerful families have sent her invitations, but Mrs. Li has politely declined them all.

She looked pleasantly surprised: "If mother can go, it will be a great honor for the Jiang family."

Mrs. Li also felt that what Xiao said was right, but she still pretended to be indifferent: "We are relatives, so we should visit each other often."

The main reason was that the Jiang family opened a clinic, treating illnesses and prescribing medicine, and in a short period of time, they became very famous.

In addition, when she was in trouble, it was the Jiang family who treated her illness, so she should just repay the favor.

"That's great," Xiao Xiao clapped her hands, unable to hide her joy. "If mother is willing to condescend, I will ask my brother-in-law and his family to prepare in advance. My brother-in-law's family can be considered a medical family, and they are best at making nourishing medicinal food..."

When Xiao Xiao arrived at the Jiang family in a carriage, she thought she would see her elder sister who looked haggard and weak, but unexpectedly, Xiao Xiao was drinking soup with a rosy complexion.

"Third sister, you're here." Xiao Xiu lifted the quilt beside him and showed it to her like a treasure: "Come and see, this is your nephew."

Xiao Xiao is no longer an ignorant person, so she will not be shocked when she sees the red and wrinkled little monkey.

Mainly because my mother had already experienced all these when she gave birth to my younger brother.

"Yes, your skin is red now, but it will become fairer in the future." Xiao Xiao asked again, "Why haven't mother and second sister come yet?"

It is troublesome for her to go out now, as she needs Mrs. Li's approval.

But Xiao Lian's mother-in-law treats her daughters-in-law very well.

Xiao Xiu smiled and said, "They came a long time ago, but their clothes got dirty when they were holding the baby, so they went to change clothes now."

Xiao Xiao was very curious and asked in a low voice: "Sister, is it very painful when giving birth?"

Although she did not get married in her previous life, she still had a boyfriend, the only thing missing was a marriage certificate.

But she never had a child.

At that time, I was thinking that when I give birth in the future, I can just do a cesarean section.

But now, doctors don’t have this technology.

But when she thought about the pain and danger of giving birth, she wanted to continue with Li Yan several times when they were passionate. But when she thought about how easy it would be to have a child, she no longer had any thoughts.

I was afraid that I would die in childbirth, as that would be too painful.

But at this moment, seeing that Xiao Xiu was in better condition after giving birth to a son than when Liu gave birth to her child, she became eager to try again.

Giving birth is bound to be painful, but Xiao Xiu didn't want to scare her sister, so she pretended to be calm and said, "It was okay, it only hurt for a while and then I gave birth."

She also wanted to trick her sister into giving birth: "I heard from my husband that we are young, giving birth quickly, and recovering faster..."
