Traveling through the harem: the favorite concubine

Chapter 44

Granny Cao's mind flickered, and suddenly, her heart burst into ecstasy.

"boy?"

With a somewhat unreal feeling, she confirmed it aloud.

"Yes! It's a boy!"

The midwife put the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes into the hands of Grandma Cao. Grandma Cao felt the warmth in her hands, and looked down. The baby was red and wrinkled, and looked ugly, but Grandma Cao thought, This is the best looking kid in the world.

She couldn't stop muttering: "Little Huangsun...Little Huangsun! Your Highness has a son!"

"Aunt Cao, should I show the prince first?"

Shaoyao confirmed that Ruyi was fine, she stood up and turned her head to see Nanny Cao holding the child stiffly, standing there in a daze, and couldn't help but remind her aloud.

"Yes, His Highness should be notified."

Nanny Cao was chosen as the prince's nanny at the beginning, so she naturally has a way of taking care of the child. She was too excited at first, but now she came back to her senses, she subconsciously adjusted the child to a comfortable holding position, and then carried the child to the outside room.

The whole house is connected together, and the earth dragon is connected to the bottom. The house is warm, and I am not afraid that if I carry the child to the outer room, it will catch cold.

As early as the child's first cry, the prince stood up in shock and stood at the door of the room waiting. As soon as Grandma Cao went out with the child in her arms, she saw the prince head-on.

With an exceptionally happy smile on her face, Grandma Cao said to the prince, "Your Highness, it's the little emperor's grandson!"

The prince's expression was a little stunned, and he just stared blankly at the child in Cao's hands.

Grandma Cao thought that the prince hadn't heard clearly, so she quickly repeated: "Your Highness, it's my son."

After all, he sent the child to the prince again.

The prince subconsciously stretched out his hand to take the child, but at the next moment, his hand was a little stiff and wanted to stretch it back.But Nanny Cao sent the child in the hands of the prince and put it in his hands.

The prince's hands and feet froze in an instant, feeling the warm, shapeless mass in his hands, he didn't use any force, nor did he use any force.

The child was very uncomfortable being held, and struggled to move his body, but his hands and feet were weak, so he could only close his eyes and cry weakly, with a very small voice, just like a little lamb crying.

Grandma Cao saw that the little grandson who was already ranked first in her heart was crying at this time, she glanced at the prince angrily, and wanted to take the child, but seeing that the prince subconsciously refused to let go, she had to help the prince adjust the position of holding the child. gesture.

"His Royal Highness needs to support the little Huangsun's body with one hand, and supports his head with the other hand."

While teaching, Grandma Cao thought to herself: I'm afraid His Highness is overjoyed to be a father.

The prince finally adjusted the posture of holding the child, and the child finally stopped crying.The prince just looked at the son who looked like a little old man with a red face, his face was still expressionless.Hearing Nanny Cao softly praise from the side: "Your Highness, look at how good the little grandson looks, with big eyes, tender skin, and looks exactly like His Highness!"

Hearing this, the prince had a somewhat helpless expression on his face. He looked at the little man in his arms, his skin was red and wrinkled, his eyes were closed tightly, there were only two slits, and his nose was open. The flat, small mouth is cute, always sucking it hard, but the dirty fetal hair on the forehead is enough to destroy the cuteness, in general, except for two small, poor hands tightly clenched The gesture moved him slightly, but it was absolutely impossible to admit that the child looked like him.

He remembered that the newborn child didn't seem to look like this. Although it might be dark and thin, it shouldn't be so wrinkled and red like a monkey, and he felt a little like a little old man.

The prince held back, facing the nanny's continuous praise, he felt guilty for his son.In the end, he said tactfully, "Nurse doesn't think that this child... looks a bit ugly."

Nanny Cao cast a glance at the prince with the kind of eyes that don't understand a child, stretched out her hand to snatch the child, and gently hugged him in her arms. The gesture obviously disapproved of the prince's words.

The prince couldn't laugh or cry, touched his nose in embarrassment, and said to Nanny Cao: "Nurse, how is Ruyi?"

Although he knew that there was no other news coming from the room, which meant that Ruyi was safe and sound at the moment, the prince still couldn't help but want to ask, after all, Ruyi showed such pain in the first place.

He stood at the door of the room at the beginning, not in a hurry to see the child, but to see the situation inside the house, but when the nurse put the child into his hands, his mind went blank and he didn't remember anything.

"Mrs. Chen just lost her strength and fell asleep. She's fine."

Grandma Cao replied casually.

Seeing that the prince seemed to be going into the house, he quickly stopped him and said: "The house has not been tidied up yet, Your Highness, let's go in later!"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stopped when he heard the words. He had already waited for a while, and he felt that it would be okay to wait a little longer.

Nanny Cao looked helplessly at the prince standing at the door of the room like a wooden stake, feeling a little speechless.I had no choice but to call Mr. Deng personally, and told him to go to Zhiyin to reward the people under him, especially the four midwives had to seal a big red envelope, and then took the bow and arrow and hung it at the door.

Ruyi's sleep was extraordinarily sound, and also extraordinarily long.

When she woke up, she found that her sticky body had been cleaned up, but her stomach was hungry.

She suddenly remembered that she just ate a large bowl of noodles and two poached eggs not long ago, how could she be hungry!She reached out to touch her stomach, but found that her hand was so stiff that it was as if she had just run 800 meters. Her whole body was sore and moaning. She put her hand on her stomach, but found that her stomach It was flattened, and the stomach was still wrapped with cloth strips.

"Madam, you are awake!"

Shaoyao heard the commotion on the bed, and when she looked, she just saw Ruyi opened her eyes, and cried out in surprise.

"Peony."

Ruyi yelled, but found that her voice was not dry enough, nor was it hoarse.

"Ma'am, come drink some water."

Shaoyao quickly poured the warm water that she had prepared earlier in the morning, and helped Ruyi to drink it.

Ruyi only felt the bitterness in her mouth, but she was also thirsty, so she couldn't help but gulped down the water in the cup.

"Madam, do you want more?" Shao Yao asked.

Ruyi shook her head, and asked, "Where's the child?"

Her memory came back, and she remembered that the child had been born.

"Nurse is hugging and breastfeeding. Madam wants to see it, so servant girl will carry it over."

Ruyi nodded, as if there was something grasping in her heart, she couldn't wait to see this child who gave birth to her after suffering so much.

"My maidservant is going now." Shao Yao was about to leave, when she suddenly thought of something, she said again: "Madam has been sleeping for a day and a night, and my maidservant asked the kitchen to bring meals over by the way."

Ruyi blinked her eyes, feeling a little confused for a moment, has she slept all day and all night?She thought she just slept for a while!

Before Shaoyao's child was brought up, the meals that had been prepared in the kitchen had already been brought up first.

Ruyi sat on the bed supported by several maids, and then began to eat the light but nutritious food.

Just after taking a few bites, the prince came in from outside the house.

Ruyi put down the spoon, looked up at the prince, but suddenly didn't know where to start.

On the contrary, with a smile on his face, the prince asked the maids around him to step back, picked up the bowl of porridge that Ruyi was eating, scooped up a spoonful, and fed it to Ruyi's mouth.

"Your Highness..." Ruyi was a little moved.

But the prince said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

Ruyi shook her head, feeling more and more touched in her heart.In this day and age, giving birth to a woman is considered a job, and it is not hard work at all. Even in modern times, many people do not think that giving birth is a suffering.

It was very considerate for the prince to say that to her.

"The child is growing up very well, with tender skin and big eyes..."

While feeding Ruyi, the prince described it to Ruyi.

Ruyi's heart almost melted into a puddle of soft water when she heard this, and she felt an urge to see her child.The images of those cute little babies I saw on the Internet in my previous life are inevitably sketched in my mind. They are white and tender like glutinous rice dumplings, and their eyes are watery and big like black grapes...

The prince described it so well, and Ruyi imagined it so beautifully, that when Shaoyao came up with the nanny, when Ruyi saw the nanny holding the red and wrinkled child like a little old man in her arms, for a moment, stunned.

Totally unacceptable!

"How could it be so ugly!"

Unknowingly, Ruyi spoke out what was in her heart.

The prince was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he personally hugged the child from the nanny's side.The prince is a quick learner, and now he is very proficient in the gestures of holding a child.

"How can it be ugly, look at how beautiful our children are."

The prince looked at the child who was still wrinkled and red-skinned. What he said was not guilty at all. The child had opened his eyes at this moment. Although the eyelids were swollen, they were still more wrinkled than the one the prince saw a day ago. Baba's red skin looks much better.

Ruyi took a careful look at the child the prince was holding next to her, and then glanced at the prince suspiciously. Her aesthetics are okay, right?
The prince felt a little uncomfortable when Ruyi looked at him like this. He also complained to Mrs. Cao that the child was ugly.

"Aman will look good when he grows up."

The prince said softly, looking at Ruyi and the child, there was a softness that he didn't realize.

"Aman?" Ruyi was attracted by the prince's breathing.

"Yes, I thought of a nickname for the child. The nickname is Aman, and the first name is Zhao Ji."

"Ji Ri Guang Feng?"

Ruyi asked uncertainly.The prince nodded.

"Aman...Zhao Ji..." Ruyi muttered, thinking that these two names are quite good, with good meaning and easy to pronounce.

She didn't have a child born to her, so she wanted to choose the name, but she just thought that as long as the name sounded good, it would be fine.

"Little Aman! Little Aman!"

Ruyi put her fingers into the child's little hand, let him hold it tightly, feeling the child's soft little hand holding her hand tightly, the softness in her heart was unbelievable.

Even if the child looks ugly, she also thinks that the more he looks the better.

"Your Highness, our child is so cute."

"Cute?" The prince was stunned for a moment, but when he saw the interacting mother and child, he also smiled: "It's lovely!"

The newborn child was very lethargic, and it took most of his energy to drink the milk just now. At this moment, Caiyi entertained his parents and interacted with his parents, and Aman closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Ruyi carefully withdrew her fingers, and couldn't help but lower her head to kiss the child's wrinkled forehead. When the nanny came up to hold the child and went down to rest, Ruyi still reluctantly watched the child disappear into her bed in the eyes.

After the child left, Ruyi turned her attention to the prince, but she spoke, which made the prince feel helpless: "Your Highness, can you move little Aman's crib into the room."

This mother who gave birth to a child is full of children.

The prince has always been easy-talking, and he pays great attention to rules when he behaves towards Ruyi, but now he objected: "Ruyi, this is against the rules."

Ruyi felt extremely regretful, but it was only regret, and she didn't say much.I thought to myself, it's a big deal, let the nanny bring Aman into the house more often, and after she finishes her confinement, she can often go to Aman's house.

Ruyi was thinking secretly in her heart, but she showed her emotions on the surface. The prince knew what Ruyi was thinking at a glance. He just smiled, but didn't say much. He just sat by Ruyi's bed and held Ruyi on the bed. The hand outside the quilt said with lowered eyelids, "Ruyi, take good care of your body in the next period of time."

Ruyi was drawn back in a daze, not understanding what the prince meant.

But the prince said: "I will be away for a while. If I come back, I will pick you up after you finish confinement. If you don't come back, Deng Xian will take you and the child to another place."

"Your Highness!"

The prince described it lightly, but Ruyi's heart skipped a beat.She stared closely at the prince's plain face, but a storm arose in her heart.

The faint guess in my heart is ready to come out.

"Ruyi, take good care of yourself and your children."

The prince ignored Ruyi's terrified exchange, but continued to speak slowly.

Ruyi couldn't help but hold the prince's hand with the other hand, and said, "Your Highness, do you have to go? Can't we live in peace?"

Ruyi knew that the prince would not agree to her request, but she still begged and asked.

The prince just smiled faintly, looked at Ruyi and said with a smile: "You know, it's impossible."

Ruyi opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't utter a word. She knew that the prince was going to retreat if he didn't advance.

"Ruyi, in this life, I have told you my back and my hole cards, you..." The prince knew that Ruyi was different, but when it came to his words, he found that it seemed unnecessary.

Ruyi smiled wryly, as if she had made a decision: "His Royal Highness, you promise me that even if... even if it fails, you must come back safely. Aman and I cannot do without you."

The prince just smiled and didn't answer. Ruyi's idea was obviously wishful thinking. If it didn't work out, he wouldn't be able to come back.

Ruyi took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said, "Your Highness, even in the future... I will take good care of Aman and let him grow up healthily." Just for you, to leave a bloodline.
