Luo Qingqi carried Qing Luo and snuck back from the garden. His stomach that was about to give birth to a baby, was indeed a little scary.
"Qingluo, you can't walk for so long next time. Your body is heavy, and if you walk for too long, you won't be able to take it. Your leg is very swollen now, so every time you finish exercising, your leg will become a lot thicker."
Qingluo was pregnant this time, her reaction was very fierce, causing Luo Qingqi's heart to ache. Everyday, he would surround his wife, not daring to leave her side.
Ever since the war at the border had ended, he had asked for a debt from his royal brother and was now serving in the Ministry of Rites.
Having done meritorious service for the nation and given himself the opportunity to build a meritorious service, he had also given the emperor the knowledge to hand over the military authority. This made the emperor feel very relieved and satisfied.
Luo Qingqi cherished his current life very much. People had to choose between one another before they knew what they should cherish the most.
"It's fine, it's just edema. When the child is born, all these symptoms will be gone. Mr. Lin said that if you exercise more, you will be able to bear less pain during the birth of the child. Moreover, this is not the first time I have been born, so you don't have to worry."
This was a topic that was repeated almost every day. No matter how Qingluo tried to comfort and comfort him, even if Luo Qingqi was nervous, Qingluo could not do anything about it.
"Qing Wen, my grandfather has already arrived. The emperor has also promoted my uncle and cousin to a higher position. My aunt is now coaxing my grandson and granddaughter every day. Life has been quite relaxed."
"Originally, there was nothing for me to worry about. However, a few days ago when she came to see me, she seemed to have heard a nagging from her. It seems that the marriage didn't go smoothly for her niece Zhang Jinggrong."
"Is there anything that we can help with? In the past, Uncle and Aunt did quite a bit of work for me. I just feel that they've done too little for them."
The aunt Zhang of the Jiang family had indeed done a lot for Qingluo, almost replacing Qingluo's mother. For this reason, Qingluo had always wanted to do something for her aunt, but her uncle's family all knew about her progress.
"Speaking of this Zhang Jinggrong, you really don't need to worry about her. Back then, during the empress selection, she and Sun Tinfang, daughter of Shuntian's Sun Maozheng, helped the empress."
"You also know that the empress is someone who knows how to repay favors. According to what the empress said, the empress and empress already think highly of each other, and they're only waiting for the right opportunity to send out an imperial decree. This is a great honor."
"Is that so? Since you're already optimistic, why did you drag it out for so long? I heard that Zhang Jinggrong is older than me by a year, if this goes on, she'll become an old lady. Even if she were to be bestowed a marriage with an imperial decree, there's nothing to be happy about."
"Like I said, why did so many of their families fail in the end? So they had mother and Zou Rou standing in the middle to protect them, Ziruo isn't doing this very wisely, isn't that doing bad things out of good intentions?"
"A delicate young lady who was forcefully delayed, I heard that Zhang Jinggrong is a pretty good girl, she is outstanding in every aspect."
Hearing Luo Qingqi's words, Qing Luo couldn't help but exclaim. No matter how great the glory was, it wasn't enough to marry a happy husband.
"Like I said, you prefer to worry about these carefree matters. Is the empress such an unreliable person? Ever since she ascended to the empress's position and looked at her work, there's no way she can escape."
"Do you think she's that unthinking little girl from before? She already communicated with these two families a long time ago, and these two little girls wanted to marry someone a bit later and stay at home for two more years."
"As for the young masters of the other two families, they also want to take advantage of these two years to work hard and once they have a good reputation, marry their wives into their families. However, something good is about to happen, these two young masters have been doing well because of their duties recently, it seems like they have been promoted to an official position."
Hearing Luo Qingqi's words, he felt relieved, "Then why didn't Aunt hear the news and worried too."
"There's still no need to send down the imperial decree. How can you spread it around so openly? The two families are holding it in." Qing Luo chuckled. She wanted to give everyone a surprise when she passed down the decree.
"Mufei, mufei, big brother and I are here to see you." Just as the two of them stepped into the room, a small figure pounced on them, causing Luo Qingqi to jump in shock. He quickly blocked Qingluo's path and caught her.
"It's you, you little brat. Didn't I tell you to be more careful, what if you bump into her?" Luo Qingqi pretended to be angry and scolded Second Young Master Ye.
"Didn't I miss mufei? It's not like I'd actually bump into her." Ye Er was not afraid of royal father, other than caring for mufei, royal father cherished him and her brother the most. In any case, with royal father blocking them, he was not afraid of danger to mufei, so she spoke strongly.
"I've already told you so many times, mufei is pregnant with her little sister and can't be offended, how come you can't remember? What if your father was careless and didn't stop you, then what about mufei?"
With his hands behind his back, Yu Er stood next to the mufei. His head immediately drooped, "Oh, I won't do it next time, mufei, I'm sorry. I'll definitely be careful next time."
Seeing Luo Hua Ye who immediately became a soft persimmon the moment he saw her brother, Luo Qingqi could not help but doubt his authority. Her wife and youngest son all listened to their eldest son very much, their position as a parent was in danger.
After taking off his wife's shirt, he helped her sit on the bed, then helped her to lift her legs onto the bed. "Come, lean on her first, I'll help you put a cushion under your legs to ease your edema."
Hearing royal father's words, Ye Er rushed over and brought a cushion over, then helped the mufei to tuck it under her legs. "We, Ye Er, are truly obedient.
"Of course, I've already grown up." The little guy used her tiptoes to move around while following his older brother. Then, Qingluo followed his words and praised, "Yeah, you're almost as tall as my older brother."
Yu Er glanced at her brother, a smile flashed past her eyes, but she did not say a word. Qingluo looked at her eldest son, not knowing how he looked like, but her heart was so calm that even she was willing to admit defeat.
Ye Er was even more so full of admiration for this big brother. He felt that this big brother was omnipotent, and even royal father didn't have as high of a place as this big brother in his heart.
"As for Charity Hall, Mister Lin has already helped me manage it. She is more capable than me, I think we can just let her manage it from now on."
"This might have something to do with her career, her social life outside is better than mine. In the future, the Charity Hall will have to develop in different cities, and needs people like her to manage it."
When he heard that Qingluo was going to leave the chores at hand to Mister Lin, Luo Qingqi was even more pleased to support her. Charity Hall was indeed a welfare for the common people, but managing it was really hard, it was not easy.
Even if she was pregnant, in the early stages of the pregnancy, she would still frequently go to the Charity Hall to check on the work. Now that there was Mister Lin to take over, that would truly be great, and in the future, Qingluo would not have to work so hard.
"Since she has the ability, then give the Charity Hall to Mister Lin in the future. Pay her well every month, and you can't let her earn less than you would if you were to treat a patient outside."
Luo Qingqi cherished the time they had spent together, and he had endless words to say to Qingluo every day. Now, Qingluo was free to spend more time with him, Luo Qingqi was very happy.
"Qing Wen, have you noticed that Luo Wu and Luo Liu are a little interested in Mo Liu and Mo Ju? The number of times the two of them have gone to see Yu Er and Ye Er is gradually increasing."
Qing Luo felt that something was amiss when she thought about how Mo Liu and Mo Ju would bring up these two from time to time. After thinking about how these two had recently turned into candy and pestered the two young masters endlessly, she got Mo Fu to help her observe them secretly for a few days and discovered that there was something amiss.
"Is that so? I didn't really pay attention to that. If those two were truly sincere, I would have to help them. Luo San already has a son, and the rest of my brothers are still single. "
Hearing that there was something going on with Qingluo, Luo Qingqi immediately took it to heart. Qingluo was a person with a lot of words, if she did not have any clues, she would definitely not speak without thinking.
Uncle Luo Liu has been playing with me recently, Uncle Luo Wu is visiting Ye Er. Yu Er had already confirmed Qingluo's words, he could already tell that there was something wrong with these two uncles.
"Yes, yes, Uncle Luo Wu has been looking for me to play these past few days. I'm about to go to sleep and he's already unwilling to leave, so Aunt Mo Liu grabbed his ear and dragged him out the door."
"If they really can see each other's eyes, then I can relax. The people around you are really good, it's a pity if you marry them outside. Being able to marry these brothers by my side is also a waste of water that doesn't leave any foreign land."
"Hmph. Don't just think that. If your people dare to bully my people, see if I'll show mercy or not." He saw Qingluo leaning on the headboard, her round belly bulging and her waist pinched as if she was a scoundrel.
Luo Qingqi immediately felt that this was rare, and quickly fawned on his, "There's no need for you to do this, if there's even the slightest bit of harm to the girls, I'll take care of it for you."
Mo Liu and Mo Ju had already went to hide outside the door a long time ago, but when Mo Li heard this, she just laughed out loud, feeling happy for her sister.
She was not the least bit interested in her marriage. Even though the knot in her heart had been resolved by Qingluo, she still maintained an indifferent attitude. Looking at this lime, a trace of worry flashed across Qingluo's eyes.
"AHH@@
"What's wrong, what's wrong? Where's the discomfort?" This shout had already frightened Luo Qingqi, and he hurriedly reached out his hands to Qing Luo's back, hugging her. "Quickly tell me, where's the discomfort?"
"There's nothing wrong with him. It should be coming soon. Mo Li, go and tell Mr. Lin to get ready. It's starting to hurt." Qingluo was very calm, but Luo Qingqi was already flustered to the point that he didn't know what to do.
"Little brother, let's go take notes. Mufei is going to have a baby sister today. We need to take note of this."
"Don't you want to wait for your sister's birth before remembering it?"
"Let's write down mufei's current condition. We can make up for the rest when our younger sister is born."
Right now, the daily records belong to the two little fellows. Every day, they record down the matters that happened in the residence, and if they can't write anything, they would ask Mister about it.
"Mufei is about to give birth to a little sister. Little brother and I are really looking forward to it. This is how life is going to be, warm and peaceful. There aren't that many ups and downs, but our family will be happy!"
