Mu Qiu Shui acted like he did not care and nodded, "When the doctor checked your pulse in the morning, he said that you have twins in your womb. The past few days have been busy and he did not pay attention to recuperate your body, which was why he felt so much pain during the morning when you were pregnant!"
Xi Jiu Er waved her hand, and said indifferently: "It's fine, I guess those little fellows wanted to quickly come out and see mother and godfather, that's why they are in such a rush to hurt mother."
Mu Qiu Shui lifted his eyes and looked at her lovingly caressing his lower abdomen. She was so gentle, as if the one he was alone with wasn't a child.
Mu Qiu Shui felt the gentleness in her eyes, but they were not directed at him.
"The doctor said that your expected delivery is in the next few days, so he told us not to make you too excited, that this will stimulate you, and that it will be detrimental to your ability to produce children, so you must be happy for the next few days.
The light in the room was indistinct, it illuminated the room with its own darkness. Xi Jiu Er was completely focused on the conversation with the child in his womb, unwittingly ignoring Mu Qiu Shui.
A bowl of meat porridge was eaten for half an hour. In the end, Xi Jiu Er successfully finished the meat porridge and turned it upside down before smacking her lips in satisfaction and lying down on the bed.
Mu Qiu Shui also put away the bowl and chopsticks in satisfaction, turned around and left Xi Jiu Er's room.
As Xi Jiu Er's stomach grew larger and larger, to the point that it was twice the size of an ordinary person's, she could only stay on the bed all day. In order to give her a better environment to prepare for childbirth, as well as having someone to watch over her at any time.
Mu Qiu Shui specially went to the entrance of the village to send out a recruitment notice, the recruitment content was to find two experienced wet nurses or Servant, and take turns guarding Xi Jiu Er's bedside. In the end, he gave a salary that caused everyone's eyes to shine with a gold light, and sat in the study room, waiting for people to come forward to apply.
"Pah pah pah," The door creaked open and Mu Qiu Shui walked out of the study and into the room downstairs.
Mu Qiu Shui sent someone to open the door, and brought the person who knocked in, following the attendant into the bamboo pavilion.
What entered his eyes was a young girl around the age of twenty-eight. She had bright eyes and white teeth; she was very charming.
"This is?" Mu Qiu Shui turned and asked the servant by his side.
"Master, this lady is here to be hired as a maid!"
The young imperial bodyguard beside the young girl answered in her place.
Mu Qiu Shui lifted the cup of tea on the table and asked without raising his head, "What do you know?"
It was obvious that he was asking the young girl below him, and the young girl consciously replied, "Reporting to Young Master, I can wash clothes and cook, and clean up."
Mu Qiu Shui continued to ask, "Those don't matter, do you take care of people? Pregnant women? "
The young girl nodded, "Of course, I have taken care of Madame at home before."
Mu Qiu Shui glanced at the girl. The girl lowered her head with a respectful expression, but she was also sincere, "Then you will stay. I'll give you three days.
With the blessings of the young lady, Mu Qiu Shui let the servants bring her down to familiarize her with the environment.
Another woman came at dusk. Seeing that the other party seemed to be very experienced, Mu Qiu Shui asked her to stay.
In the past few days, Xi Jiu Er had become more and more lazy. Other than staying on the bed all day, she had almost stopped eating and drinking on the bed. The two maids that Mu Qiu Shui had hired were all very hardworking people, especially the girl.
Xi Jiu Er found out that the young girl was a Miss from a poor family, and for the sake of her family's livelihood, she had no choice but to be a little girl in a rich family. A while ago, the young master unintentionally saw her and wanted to take her as his concubine.
He had been prepared to go to the village to visit his family and friends, but he didn't expect to see a recruitment notice at the village entrance. Seeing that he didn't have much work to do and his salary was quite high, he came here to apply.
The girl had a beautiful name called Tao Yao.
The peach blossoms disappeared into thin air, shining brilliantly.
On the other hand, she was as charming and beautiful as her name suggested, and she was also very diligent.
Xi Jiu Er especially liked to chat with Tao Yao. She leaned on the bed, looking at this girl whose eyes were dancing with joy, as if she was looking at her own youth.
At that time, I was also a pretty girl who had just grown up in my family. Although I don't like being close to others due to my cold personality, I was still a young girl after all.
Later on, that auntie was a quiet person, but as long as you had something to say to her, you would definitely receive a satisfactory reply, in addition to a sincere and honest smile.
Xi Jiu Er asked about his big aunt's matter when he was free. It was said that this person also had a story.
Aunt had a disappointing husband, who wanted to eat, drink, and play all day long. She only left the aunt and the three children, who were only a few years old, to run away with a brothel girl. She had no means to support them, so she could only send one child out.
Before she found a job taking care of Xi Jiu Er, her aunt had not had a single piece of income for a few days. The child in the family ate a thin layer of porridge, so she had no choice but to make an advance payment of ten taels of silver from Mu Qiu Shui to buy rice noodles for her child.
It was only when the lanterns were lit that the aunt came back, stepping lightly on the wet soil.
Perhaps it was because he was afraid that Mu Qiu Shui would scold him so easily that he was scared he would be fired if he did something wrong.
After Xi Jiu Er saw Mu Qiu Shui, she had specially instructed him to give her a raise. As for what name he should use, Xi Jiu Er felt that Mu Qiu Shui should have thought about it at that time.
It was probably from then on that Xi Jiu Er took special care of Auntie and asked her to bring home whatever was good to eat for her children.
Every time they met, the aunt would always be grateful to Xi Jiu Er, and would almost kneel down and kowtow to her a few times.
Maybe because he was about to become a mother, Xi Jiu Er was able to understand the love a mother had for his child, so he took care of this pitiful and hardworking mother.
Wind Nation, palace, royal study.
An ethereal voice came from the empty imperial study room. "Your Majesty, we have found the Imperial Concubine's residence in a remote village a hundred kilometers away from the imperial capital. Your subordinate has already sent an empty person to infiltrate their side.
Feng Qing Cheng clenched his fingers tightly, and pressed them against his lower jaw, as if he was thinking about something important, and did not take the things that the woman told him to heart at all. After a while, he replied lazily, "Let Kong Yu stay there and take good care of her, if there's anything else, then return to us."
"Understood," the woman coldly said, and the palace immediately became silent again.
