The little lady in the dining room

Chapter 161 Douhua
Sheng Jia came in person, and everyone in the small kitchen of Liugeyuan felt like a thorn in their backs.

The emperor and Chen Jijiang thought together and said that they ordered a lot of dishes, dry, meaty, vegetarian, hot, and cold.Fortunately, knowing that Sydney is having a baby, they have enough time to do it, otherwise she would not know how to prepare these things!

After Wei Xi made the list for Su Zixian, Su Zixian quickly ran through in her mind which one to do first and which one to do later, then wiped off her cold sweat and got ready to work.

The emperor thought for a while, took off the Nanhong waistband and handed it to her.

Su Zixian was startled: "...?"

The emperor said flatly, "Dowry."

Zixian immediately bowed to thank her, saying "Thank you, Your Majesty", thinking "you should hurry back and accompany Sydney"!
After arranging what Sydney wanted to eat, the emperor returned to the main courtyard and listened carefully, but the shouting was not as loud as before.

Xie Zhao's heart was suspended, and he rushed in to have a look. The imperial doctor reported that Mrs. Ruan was a little weak and had already been fed ginseng soup.

The emperor nodded stiffly, looked at Sydney surrounded by midwives and medical girls, and felt that he had never been so nervous in his life.

Those who are on that couch right now are the people who are most important to him, in case something goes wrong...

Xie Zhao felt that all his thoughts were frozen, and he stared intently there, but he didn't seem to see anything, and couldn't say a word.The only thought he would have was that he would want to squeeze over to accompany her when Xue Li was yelling loudly, but he had to restrain this thought.

You can't just make trouble in the past.

More than an hour passed, and the Yinshi bell gradually entered his ears. Chen Jijiang stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, today's morning court..."

"Exemption from the court." The emperor answered loudly, and the little eunuch who was obeying orders immediately went to deliver the decree without the need for the master to speak any more.

It's been almost three hours...

Xie Zhaoqiang breathed a sigh of relief, listening to Xue Li's crying voice, he simply felt that he would be an imperial doctor!
After another moment, a baby's cry pierced everyone's ears.

"Come out, come out!" The voice of the midwife was full of joy, and the immature crying echoed loudly in the room. It took only a moment for the baby, who was wrapped in swaddling clothes, to be brought to the emperor, "Your Majesty, look , the second son is healthy!"

He couldn't tell what emotion he was in. The moment he saw the child, he felt his heart beat three times, and then he raised his eyes to look at Sydney again.

Sydney tugged on the quilt, whimpering and crying.

Sure enough... Sure enough, there is another one!
She could feel it, knowing that the birth was not over yet, the pain in her abdomen continued to surge, and she didn't feel relaxed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." She panted heavily and looked at him, "I can't do it! I can't give birth! Ah——"

It hurts like crazy! ! !

She felt that her whole body was sweating, layer after layer, and her heartbeat could no longer be controlled by herself. She tried to calm down and broke out another layer of sweat.

She really felt that she was about to die, and every moment she felt that she was going to die of exhaustion the next moment.The midwife was still standing next to her and said to her: "Miss, don't talk nonsense, you and the child are fine! They are fine!"

Where is it! ! !

Xue Li clutched the mattress tightly with both hands, her lips were bitten by her teeth, and her mouth was full of fishy and sweet taste.

"Your Majesty... Xie Zhao!" She was unconscious in pain, and it was the first time she called his name in front of so many people.

Xie Zhao's back felt cold, and before he could think too much, he dragged a midwife over and asked, "Is it okay if I don't want this child anymore?!"

……What? !
The midwife was dumbfounded.

The emperor tried his best to calm himself down, let out a breath, and calmed down a little: "If this child is not wanted, will it be better for her? She, she now..."

He had never heard such a scream from others, and it lasted for so long.She said she felt that she was going to die and he totally believed it!

Several midwives looked at the emperor in surprise.After a while, the one in his hand said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty? Your Majesty, don't... don't worry! Miss Ruan is in a good situation now, and she doesn't even count as a dystocia. Besides, besides... just don't want this The child is gone, you have to...you have to let this child out too?!"

In case of a dystocia, it is okay to protect the adults, so you have to let the stillborn come out?Can adults still live if they stay in the stomach?
"Hiss..." Xie Zhao gasped and held his forehead and realized that he was also confused, so he let go of the midwife and waved her to go back, and he went to the side to support the pillar to calm his nerves.

The screams behind him became louder again. If he didn't know that it was her who was giving birth, he would have believed anyone who was being severely punished and interrogated.

It turns out that it is really painful for a woman to give birth to a child...

Xie Zhao only felt that imagining it [-] times before was not as shocking as seeing it with his own eyes once.He was not there when she gave birth to A Yuan, and he never thought that she would suffer such torture.

This silly pear would usually cry with a little vinegar, let her go through this...

Xie Zhao forced himself to turn his head to look at her again. Her hair was in a mess, some were messed up, some were soaked in sweat, and her face was pale and ferocious, which he had never seen before, but no matter how he looked at it, she couldn't see her. Can't move my eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, another cry suddenly rose in the room, followed by a sound of relief.

"Dragon and phoenix twins! Dragon and phoenix twins!" The voice of the midwife was full of surprises, and then several people congratulated him, "Congratulations to your majesty for having a son and a daughter. The prince and concubine are all well! Miss Ruan is also safe!"

"...Oh." Xie Zhao responded as if he had just woken up from a dream, and raised his head slightly to look, only to realize that he had been lying on the pillar for a long time, and the cold sweat on his forehead had soaked a large piece of the pillar.

Xueli was so weak that she seemed to have only a little strength left in her whole body, she stretched out her hand to him: "Your Majesty..."

Before the bloody mattress was changed, the maid wanted to stop her, but he waved her away.

As soon as he sat on the side of the couch, Xue Li immediately moved her body and fell on his lap, rubbing her face on him embarrassedly: "It scared you... isn't it particularly scary?"

"No." He answered these two words, and she burst into tears immediately.

Originally, I was really worried that he would be intimidated by her appearance, but since he said no...then she will wantonly vent her grievances!

"It hurts. In the end, I really have no strength." She said in a weak voice, except for the movement of her lips, she didn't bother to move anywhere.

Xie Zhao stroked her shoulder with his hand, and couldn't utter the words of relief. He felt that she was in such pain just now, and now he said "don't hurt when you stand and talk".

Sydney looked up at him sobbing, "We already have two sons and two daughters."

"Yeah." Xie Zhao nodded, and she said again: "In the future, I won't regenerate in the future, okay? Let the imperial doctor prescribe a side medicine for me, okay?"

He was slightly taken aback, but she stared at him and immediately changed her words: "... Forget it! A few more children would be fine, but two princes probably won't be enough."

The whole world is on him and his son, thinking about this, she understands how much he needs the prince.But she couldn't stop being wronged in her heart, after all, every time she gave birth to a child, it was a circle before the gate of hell...

Just now in a hurry, he directly told the midwife that he didn't want a second child. She was really shocked and moved.So now I feel conflicted. On the one hand, I feel that I should be more considerate to him and consciously raise a few more children for him, but on the other hand, I am really afraid of doing it again!
Xue Li scratched his clothes with her fingers, she kept tangling herself, after scratching for a while, her face suddenly felt a little hot, and it slid down her cheeks.

"..." She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked up to see that he was also hiding with his head up.

...Why is he crying too?

Xie Li was full of surprise, Xie Zhao coughed lightly, and when he looked down at her again, he was back to normal: "No more children, we will not have children, two princes are enough."

He didn't want to see her hurt like that again.It hurts so much, he won't believe it if it doesn't hurt him!

After that, everything went on as usual during the confinement period. The taste of pears was no longer strange, but it seemed to be as edible as when I was pregnant.

She can eat two bowls of noodles for breakfast, and all kinds of small stir-fried soups for lunch. When it comes to dinner, she has to control her appetite, otherwise she will be fat to the bottom.

It was only when she was out of confinement that she realized that she had changed from a "lady in a six-block courtyard" to a "lady in a nine-cell courtyard"—the last three courtyards in the west also belonged to her.

Therefore, the arrangement of the residence has changed again, the main courtyard at the front is still hers, but the place in the north that was allocated to Fugui and the others has been completely renovated and given to A Yao and A Yuan.The south side was originally for the ladies of the palace, and the main room was her delivery room. Nanny Bai said that after she was confinement and moved back to Zhengyuan, this side would have to be rebuilt, and after repairs, it would be used by the two newborn children. .

In the Liufang courtyard behind, the kitchen remains the same, and the other five are occupied by palace people.The implication - she is about to add someone here.

After returning to the room in the main courtyard, Sydney felt relaxed!From the beginning of pregnancy, I felt that I was bound by the child, and now I finally regained my "free body", I can run and jump, and the most important thing is that I can eat anything!

Sydney drooled and wrote a meal list for Brown Tang to give to Zixian. After a while, Zixian came back with a dark face: "Grandma, it's just spring, where can I get crabs for you?!"

Oh... yes!
Sydney smiled and took back the menu, crossed out the line for "steamed crab" and changed it to "race crab".

Two quarters later, Su Zixian and A Yao and A Yuan watched her feasting with her forehead resting on her forehead.

——If you don't know, you will think how much she suffered from hunger during her pregnancy and confinement!
Sydney stared at a bowl of shredded pork noodles with shiitake mushrooms and ate very happily. During confinement, she avoids spicy food. This time, she specially put two spoonfuls of fragrant chili sauce, poured some vinegar, mixed it, and ate it in one bite. The shiitake mushrooms and The shredded meat is chewy and chewy, and the hot and sour taste fills the heart. Don't feel more comfortable!
She was so engrossed in eating that she forcibly looked hungry to Ah Yao who had just finished eating snacks.

A Yao tugged at Su Zixian's sleeve: "Aunt Zixian, I want it too!"

"..." Su Zixian patted A Yao's forehead, coaxed her that you should eat less spicy food since you are too young, then grabbed a bun from the cage in front of Xueli and gave it to her.

The buns stuffed with chives and eggs are about an inch in size.Chives are freshly cut tender leeks, and the bun skin is full of fragrance when you bite it open.This is also suitable for eating with chili and vinegar. Ayao obediently gnawed and ate three pears dipped in chili and vinegar in one go!
After eating, she felt comfortable, and leaned over the table and shouted "Happy!" Su Zixian frowned at her for a long time, then reached out and pinched the flesh on her waist: "How long are you going to eat like this? It's more than the first two!"

Hate……

Sydney waved her hand open, pinched it herself, and indeed gained a lot of weight.She wanted to indulge herself again and stop eating like this for three to five days, after all...after all, she didn't want him to feel ugly!
But that night he came, and with great interest, someone bought her several snacks from the imperial dining room.As soon as he entered the door, he saw her huddled under the quilt and refused to come out. He was a little puzzled: "Aren't you confinement today?"

For the previous month, she had basically been resting on the couch, and every time he came to see her, he would see her covered with a quilt on the couch—but didn't they all move back to the main courtyard?Can't go down yet?
Xue Li sadly bared her head and said to him, "Your Majesty, can you sleep in the south room? I'm getting fat now."

Xie Zhao raised his eyebrows, turned around and went out of the bedroom to wash, Xue Li heaved a sigh of relief.

After a while, he came back in his middle coat, and when he passed by the case, he copied the same one of the few snacks that had just been placed on the case, jumped onto the couch with one hand in his hand, and turned to lie on his side steadily!
Sydney was stunned, and looked left and right carefully, but she didn't spill a drop.

She was about to praise him for being so good, when he dipped his hand into the porcelain spoon and said with a smile, "Come and have a bite."

Sydney: "...don't eat!"

Xie Zhao gave the hand near her mouth a bite, and was very puzzled: "Why don't you eat it?"

She retracted into the quilt, and explained to him that she was too fat, and now she was so fat that she was embarrassed to see him, and tried to eat less at night.

Xie Zhao held the bowl for a while: "Puchi."

He put the bowl on the small table next to him, and put his arms around her: "I really don't want to eat it? This drunken bean curd is very well made. The bean curd is moderately soft and hard, and the wine is the sweeter kind you like. I Just now, I tasted a bowl in Zichen Palace and thought it must taste like yours, so you don’t want to take a bite?”

Normally she would never be able to withstand his temptation, but this time she was very firm: "I won't eat it! I won't eat it!"

Xie Zhao burst out laughing.

He squeezed her hand into the quilt, guessed the position and pinched her waist, and whispered softly through a layer of quilt: "It's true that you are a little fatter, but you are also good if you are chubby." , It is more comfortable to hold in the hand than before."

"I hate you..." Xueli twisted and twisted under the quilt to hide from his hand, and when she couldn't dodge, she suddenly lifted the quilt and stared at him.

Facing his smiling eyes, he put his arms around her and said to her, "It's fine if you don't want to eat tonight, but don't stop eating every day just to lose weight."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you eat vegetarian for a while!" Xue Li said, raising her eyelashes slightly, and her lips were pressed by his finger.

He has a serious face: "I will never despise you for being fat. If you don't like it yourself, you can take your time. Don't think that I will not like it and die!"

Sydney's face was stiff, and it was naturally very embarrassing to be punctured!
He pressed his fingers on her cheeks that had become softer due to gaining weight: "I just like to think about what is there and what is not. You became fat because of my child. I think you are ugly or human because of this?"

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh
Sydney was moved for a long time by his frank expression of heart. She was crying a lot just after giving birth, but she was in tears when he said this.

Then he was fooled and fed a small bowl of drunken bean curd...

The taste is really good, the bean curd is delicate and tender, but it is well congealed - this thing is disgusting if it is not congealed well, so Sydney seldom makes bean curd by itself!

Right now, this kind of tenderness is the best, coupled with the sweet taste of fermented rice, it tastes refreshing and comfortable, and she is so sweet that her eyebrows and eyes are bent.

Xie Zhao looked at her smiling and wanted to laugh too.Having known each other for six years, the two of them have changed a lot, but her appearance when eating has not changed at all!
When he eats delicious food, his eyebrows and eyes are as beautiful as honey. Every time he sees her, he doesn't know what to say about her, but seeing her like this makes him really happy...

It's even more fun to feed her!She twitched and smirked when she tasted beautiful!

After feeding her and making herself happy, the two went to bed happily.Although she was already confinement, the imperial doctor said that it would be better to wait another half a month before having intercourse, so he obediently endured it.

Of course, you can still touch it...

This little chubby pear is really soft and comfortable to rub in her arms - but she herself is not very comfortable, as soon as he pinches her, she stares at him, and the expression on the last sleep is full of anger.

With a stern face, Xie Zhao moved her fingers to forcibly manipulate her angry bun face into a smiling face, then scolded herself "childish", turned over, and thought about the next arrangement.

The fact that Shouxiao couldn't get married for three years made him a little annoyed, but in fact it was good, she should get used to it slowly.It didn't seem like a big deal to him, but she knew it was a lot of pressure without asking.

Just get used to it.In fact, she has both momentum and means, but she has little experience, and he can let her deal with it bit by bit.

A month ago, it was settled for the new maids to enter the palace, and now the new maids should all learn the rules in the Shangyi Bureau.At the same time, there are still many palace ladies who have reached their age and are sent home to marry. All the palaces, and even the imperial court, need people from the Six Shang Bureau to fill the vacancies.

Let her handle this.From the time she was able to suppress the maids and officials who were about her age, she gradually knew what the queen needed to worry about in the palace.

Turning over, he leaned his forehead to the side and squeezed her face again: "I have to teach you how to find a queen. It's really hard to be an emperor..."

Maybe it was because he pinched it hard, Xue Li frowned and hummed softly.

Xie Zhao quickly let go of her, stared at her for a while, and lay down with the corner of his mouth slightly pulled.

The pears I fancy, can't be too troublesome.
