Chapter 103 is about to give birth
At most I just walked to the gate of the yard, how could I be tired?
"Alas, Master..."
Hong Xing anxiously wanted to persuade him again, but Ji Yunqing had already been helped to sit on the reclining chair in the corridor and began to rest.
"It's still a bit hot now, Hong Xing, go get a fan."
Ji Yunqing closed his eyes and leisurely enjoyed Xuancao's leg massage.
Because she was pregnant for too long, her legs were inevitably swollen. Xuancao asked Nanny An for advice and learned a set of massage techniques to relieve her master's discomfort.
As for Hongdou, she brought a pot of hot water without being told and poured a cup for Ji Yunqing.
Hong Xing had no choice but to patiently take out the fan and send cool breeze to her master.
After a while, Ji Yunqing asked her to get this and that, and Hong Xing was so busy that she was dizzy, until her master fell asleep with his head tilted.
Hemerocallis had stopped massaging long ago and took the opportunity to tidy up the room. Hongdou also went to help Hydrangea with needlework.
Hong Xing looked around and was surprised to find that Nanny An was not there either. She went out quietly, turned around, and hid in the gap in the flower bed.
There were already people waiting there.
"Why did you come just now? Didn't you say that you would definitely be able to persuade Concubine Ji to leave this time?"
Hong Xing said anxiously: "Don't worry, the master is too cautious, how can it be so easy for her to come out?"
"You are not in a hurry." The old woman slapped the back of her hand quickly and accurately, killing a mosquito that was sucking blood.
"You don't have to feed mosquitoes every day!"
The weather is not too cold now, but mosquitoes are still stubbornly around, especially in places with many plants such as grass and flower beds.
Hong Xing looked at the mosquito bites on her face and said, "Wait a little longer. You will need to do it yourself when the time comes. I don't want to be exposed."
Today's masters have such good tempers and never beat or scold their servants.
The old woman looked impatient: "I know." If she did it herself, she could earn a hundred taels of silver for free.
Anyway, the master has already made arrangements. Once she finishes this task, he will arrange for her retirement.
Doing it yourself is also a last resort. Methods such as smearing oil or pebbles on the road are not effective.
Every time Ji Yunqing went out, she would always send two maids to walk in front of her, not to mention that now she simply doesn't go out.
It's not possible to give him drugs, because Ji Yunqing drinks plain water, and any slight color or smell will attract attention.
Fumigating clothes with incense was even less feasible. Ji Yunqing had never used incense since she entered the mansion, saying that the smell made her dizzy and nauseous.
In addition, if there were any extra or missing items in the yard, Nanny An would keep a close eye on them, and the maids would usually act in pairs, so Hong Xing really had no idea where to start.
"Forget it, I'm afraid it won't work today, just come back tomorrow and wait!"
After Hong Xing finished speaking, she ran back. She looked around carefully and was relieved to see that there was indeed no one around.
As soon as she entered the yard, someone suddenly covered her mouth.
"uh"
Nanny An and Xuancao quickly tied up the old woman.
As soon as Hong Xing stepped into the room, she saw that Concubine Ji, who had been sleeping before she left, had woken up.
Her heart skipped a beat.
He said calmly, "Master, Master, are you awake? Do you want some water?"
Ji Yunqing looked at Hong Xing steadily: "Where did you go just now?"
"My servant, I just had a stomachache and went to the toilet."
Hong Xing smiled and said, "Master, since you are here, where else can I go?"
"is it?"
Ji Yunqing said lightly, and it was unclear whether he believed it or not.
At three o'clock in the morning, Hong Xing quietly got up.
It was really difficult to avoid being seen during the day, so they could only meet at night, and the two of them would plan what bad things to do during the day.
This time, Hong Xing squatted in the flower bed and waited and waited.
I slapped three mosquitoes to death in a row and got bitten all over my head, but no one came yet.
She couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
"Where are the people? It will be dawn soon if we wait any longer."
No need to wait, she should go back first to avoid being discovered.
As soon as she stood up, Hong Xing heard a familiar voice.
"Hong Xing is not sleeping in the middle of the night. What is she doing? Are you worried about Mosquito having no food to eat, so you come here to deliver food?"
"Madam An? Why are you here?"
Hong Xing was horrified and took a step back: "Why are you here? Here... I..."
She suddenly covered her stomach and said, "Mammy, I just want to poop, it's too dark and I don't dare to go to the toilet."
“Shit!”
Aunt An smiled and said, "Why don't you take off your pants before taking a shit? Go ahead and take a shit."
Having said that, she did not leave, but just stood there looking at Hong Xing.
The night breeze blew away a lot of the cold sweat on Hong Xing's body.
Seeing that only Nanny An was there, Hong Xing became furious and thought of just sending her away.
As soon as he rushed over, he was grabbed by the hands on the left and right. The two women cursed sleepily: "Why are you running here so late at night instead of sleeping?"
As a result, they couldn't sleep well.
Afterwards, the two old women swiftly tied up Hong Xing's hands and feet, and took out a wrinkled handkerchief that had not been washed for many days from their bosoms and stuffed it into Hong Xing's mouth.
"Mammy, um..."
Nanny An smiled and said, "Thank you both for today. I still need your help with the prince's affairs."
These two old women were requested by Nanny An to the prince, and it was originally thought that the master would interrogate them himself.
But when she mentioned it, Master Ji just waved his hand and said, "Send it directly to the prince. I am in a heavy body now and cannot bear to hear these things."
Nanny An was a little stunned. Is it that simple? Master, don't you want to think about it again? Don't you need to know the person behind the scenes?
In fact, Ji Yunqing already had an idea in his mind, but there was no need to tell Nanny An.
The next day, word spread in the palace that Concubine Li was unwell and had to stay in bed to rest, and it was feared that she would not recover for a while.
Nanny An sighed, "This is such a pity. Concubine Li is ill. I'm afraid she won't even be able to see the Third Miss's full moon banquet."
Ji Yunqing smiled: "Yeah, it's such a pity." Look, if she did it herself, she would never be able to achieve this effect.
But she was just seriously ill and bedridden, and the prince was really too perfunctory in his treatment of her.
As time passed, Ji Yunqing finally reached the time of delivery.
That day, Ji Yunqing had just finished breakfast and paused when he stood up.
"Madame An, go get the midwife. Xuancao, help me to the delivery room."
Everyone was shocked.
"Master, you are..."
Ji Yunqing nodded.
The scene suddenly became chaotic. Although they had been briefed before, it was the first time for the girls to experience such a thing, so they were inevitably a little nervous.
Nanny An shouted, "Don't panic. Hongdou, you and Xiuqiu go get the midwife. Xuancao, go boil lots of water."
Perhaps King Zhao had specifically instructed it, the midwife came very quickly.
The small courtyard suddenly became lively.
Ji Yunqing gritted his teeth and felt dizzy. It really hurt!
So, what kind of iron warriors are those who give birth to seven, eight, or ten children?
