Chapter 761 Advice
When Xia Zihan woke up, it was already the next morning.
Chu Jingqi was sitting on the chair next to the bed reading a book. Whenever she made any movement, his eyes would move from the book to her face.
Seeing that she was awake, Chu Jingqi hurriedly put down the book, helped her sit up half-way, and got a big pillow for her to lean on. "If it's comfortable to sit like this, if it's not comfortable, just use another big pillow to lean on."
"That's good." Xia Zihan smiled.
After giving birth to a baby, her big belly, which would normally weigh down her breathlessly when sitting like this, suddenly felt empty.
She asked, "Where's the child? Come over here and let me take a look."
"Next door, two wet nurses and Aunt Yu and Mother Cui are taking care of them. You'd better eat something first. Don't worry about them for now. When you're full, I'll ask the wet nurses to bring them over for you to see."
Chu Jingqi's words made it very clear that if she didn't eat, he wouldn't babysit her.
Xia Zihan curled her lips and said pitifully, "I want to drink porridge."
"Just drinking porridge is not enough. You are very weak now. You need to drink a bowl of ginseng chicken soup." Chu Jingqi suppressed the urge to nod and agree to her, but said rationally.
Then he said, "The master has prescribed a medicine for you. It has been fried and is warming on the stove. You should drink the medicine first and then drink the chicken soup with your meal."
"Master, why don't you turn the decoction into pills?" She couldn't help complaining.
Chu Jingqi ordered the maid outside the door to bring the soup and medicine, and put all the food on the table. They were all hot food, and they were still steaming when they were put on the table.
Mrs. Zhuo said that Yuqiong Garden was far away from the kitchen, and the daily meals would have been cold by the time they were brought from the kitchen. Mrs. Zhuo asked Nuanyu to use the small kitchen in Yuqiong Garden to cook meals for Xia Zi. Han Chu Jingqi eats.
"I'll feed you." Chu Jingqi took the soup and was about to feed her. Xia Zihan took it and said, "No need to feed it. Feed it in small sips. It will make your mouth feel more uncomfortable. It will still be dry and you will suffer less."
After saying that, he drank up the soup in the bowl in three sips.
The porridge was fed by Chu Jingqi. Xia Zihan wanted to eat it by herself. Chu Jingqi refused to say anything. After the couple finished eating, Mrs. Zhuo brought Mrs. Zhuo, Mrs. Yuan, over to visit Xia Zihan. Chu Jingqi saw that the house was full of women. I felt uncomfortable staying here, so I went next door to see my son.
"Mom, I've been very lucky to you these past two days." Xia Zihan spoke to Mrs. Zhuo first. Mrs. Zhuo's smile almost reached behind her ears, "It's not hard, it's not hard. Holding my eldest grandson and My second grandson, my mother doesn’t feel lucky at all.”
"My little sister now has a grandson, everything is ready." Mrs. Yuan said happily.
Mrs. Zhuo smiled proudly, "Of course, when you become a grandmother, maybe you will be happier than me."
Then he mentioned Zhuo Yiling and Yuan Liqin, "Your two cousins also wanted to come to visit you, but you are currently in confinement, and the girls who have not left the palace are not allowed to come in. They said they would rush into you."
Mrs. Zhuo didn't quite understand why she rushed to Ayu, but this was a rule left by her ancestors, and Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Zhuo both believed in those old rules.
However, when she was in confinement after giving birth to twins, Ayu did not leave the cabinet and went into the confinement room, but she was fine.
Of course, Mrs. Zhuo didn't say this in her heart. For some reason, she seemed to feel that neither Ayu nor Aqi liked those two cousins. Since she could have an honest excuse not to let them in, that was just fine. Soon, the two wet nurses brought the child over, followed by a large group of maids, women and mothers.
Mrs. Zhuo loved children very much. When she saw the twins, she couldn't bear to take her eyes away. She looked at Mr. Zhuo with envy and jealousy, "My little sister is lucky. She married a daughter-in-law with a distinguished status. She even gives you grandchildren at once." Give birth to two.”
Zhuo held her grandson in her arms and smiled so hard that she couldn't even see her teeth.
Mrs. Yuan took the opportunity to sit next to Xia Zihan's bed and said in a softer voice, "Daughter-in-law Aqi, I heard that Aqi has been sleeping in your room these past few days?"
Please, this is our young couple’s private matter. Don’t you think it’s inappropriate to ask this?
Xia Zihan wanted to stab her, but she was an elder, and if she really stabbed her, then she was wrong.
With a smile on her lips, she nodded weakly, "Aqi doesn't trust the maids to take care of me. He does all my affairs personally."
"Hey, you girl, you are still young and don't understand some things." The voice was so low that only Xia Zihan could hear it, "Auntie gives you a piece of advice. This confinement room is not just for girls who have not yet left the palace. If you can’t come in, even men can’t come in. It’s easy to get contaminated by those dirty and bad things, which will bring misfortune to three generations.”
"Really?" Xia Zihan looked suspicious, but also seemed to believe it.
Mrs. Yuan slapped her thigh and said, "I am Aqi's aunt. How can I harm him? Your mother-in-law is a carefree and informal person. You can't pretend that you don't understand everything. When will you listen?" Did you say that the man spent the night in the confinement room?”
"Well, I've never heard of it." Xia Zihan nodded cooperatively.
Seeing that things were promising, Mrs. Yuan kept up her efforts, "I know that you and Aqi have a good relationship and are reluctant to sleep separately, but no matter how good your relationship is, you can't ignore everything. This man is an official in the imperial court and gives to the emperor." Doing things depends on luck. If this luck is gone, where can this official become? ”
Well, that makes sense.
However, what is the purpose of telling her so much?
Okay, tell her this, it can't be without any purpose, right? She's not familiar with her?
Could it be that you just want Aqi not to sleep in this room?
Is the purpose to separate them?
However, if Aqi went to sleep somewhere else, what benefits would Mrs. Yuan get?
When one person plots against another person, it is nothing more than profit.
However, if the young couple slept separately, what benefits would it bring to Mrs. Yuan?
Xia Zihan was dealing with Mrs. Yuan on the surface, but he was thinking a lot in his heart, but he couldn't figure out Mrs. Yuan's real purpose. What was it?
Then, should she ask Aqi to sleep in the study and draw out Mrs. Yuan's purpose?
Thinking of this, Xia Zihan nodded matter-of-factly and looked at Mrs. Yuan with gratitude, "Auntie is right. It was my poor thinking that almost ruined Aqi's career. In the future, I will forbid Aqi stepped into my room”
"Yes, that's it. We women, when we do anything, we have to think more about men. If men are good to us, we have to think about men." Mrs. Yuan's eyebrows were filled with joy. Xiang Xia Zihan's gaze became a little gentler.
When Mrs. Yuan and others left and Chu Jingqi came in, Xia Zihan immediately told Chu Jingqi exactly what Mrs. Yuan said.
