The evening breeze of early summer, with the fragrance of osmanthus and roses, wafted back and forth in the yard like a fairy.
Ruan Qing sniffed the sweet fragrance and leaned against the window, quietly watching the sunset. She was already nine months pregnant and was raised like a pig by Gu Feng and the peony. Every day, she would drink a few rounds of tonic and birth control medicine. Most importantly, from the time she was pregnant until now, her five fingers had been able to count the number of times she had left the house.
"Sigh ~ ~ ~" Ruan Qing changed her posture and continued staring blankly in front of the window.
"Madam, you've already stood for the time it takes to make a cup of tea. Please sit down and rest."
"Spring Peaches, what is the Marquis doing?" Normally at this time, Gu Feng would have long since accompanied her to eat, and it was unknown what had caught his attention today.
"Master Hou was in the study with Prince Bao all day to spy on us. I assume Master Hou is also rushing over at this time." The marquis paid great attention to his wife's every meal and would accompany her almost every day. If he couldn't afford to be free, he would send someone to inform her. Since the steward hadn't come, it meant that Master Hou would still eat dinner with his wife.
As soon as Spring Peaches finished speaking, Gu Feng's figure appeared.
"My wife, you must be hungry. Spring Peach, get someone to bring the dishes up. " Gu Feng took the place of Spring Peaches to support Ruan Qing's hand. Then, he stepped forward and gently pulled Ruan Qing into his embrace.
Ruan Qing pinched the soft flesh on Gu Feng's waist. However, she had a smile on her face as she said, "Master, I want to go out for a walk."
Gu Feng endured the pain coming from his waist and patiently advised, "My wife, you are about to give birth soon. My family is well-prepared, but it is so complicated outside, so I can't be at ease. "When you're done with the moon, I'll listen to you wherever you want to go."
"Well, what if I have to get out?"
Gu Feng noticed that the strength at his waist had increased by a bit, so he knew that Ruan Qing was going to start to have a short temper again. Ever since Ruan Qing became pregnant, Ruan Qing had changed from being gentle and sensible like before. She always liked to torment Gu Feng from time to time. However, Gu Feng didn't feel that there was anything bad about this. On the contrary, he liked Ruan Qing's current appearance more. With her temper, it proved that they were close friends.
"You, ah, I know you are bored. Tomorrow, I will bring you a few books. You have to behave." After she finished speaking, she pulled Ruan Qing's hand and helped her to sit down.
"That's more like it. I'll let you off today." Ruan Qing was satisfied.
At night, Ruan Qing woke up from the pain and quickly pinched Gu Feng.
Gu Feng immediately woke up from his stupor and hurriedly carried Qing Qing into the delivery room. At the same time, he ordered the maid on night duty to wake up the midwife.
AHH!
At this moment, Gu Feng, who was waiting outside the door, was also in a bad mood. He wished he could take the place of Ruan Qing when he heard her shrill cries. But he could do nothing but wait anxiously.
After an unknown amount of time, the childish wail in the delivery room finally caused Gu Feng's poker face to react.
"Creak ~ ~" The door to the delivery room opened.
Gu Feng strode forward and anxiously asked, "How is the Madam?"
"Congratulations Master Hou, Madam has given birth to a healthy young master, and mother and son are safe."
Pushing aside the midwives who had come to report their good news, Gu Feng flashed into the delivery room. The midwife wanted to stop him, but was stopped by a look from the steward.
Ruan Qing looked at Gu Feng, who was walking towards her. She lightly smiled at him before falling into a deep sleep.
Staring at the sleeping Ruan Qing, Gu Feng felt that there was nothing more blissful than this. For the rest of his life, he and his wife had been a pair for the rest of their lives.
