At midnight, Mu Siyu was sleeping soundly in Lu Yi's arms, when a noisy sound came from outside, breaking the tranquility of the night.
Lu Yi was woken up first, and when he was about to go out and take a look, Mu Siyu woke up after him.
He frowned and shouted impatiently outside: "What's the noise outside?"
The servant said outside: "Sir, there is news from Mr. Xia that Mrs. Xia is having difficulty giving birth and the situation is somewhat dangerous."
"An Yu is having a difficult delivery?" Mu Siyu sat up, "Her pregnancy was hard-won in the first place, and it has been even more difficult to maintain her pregnancy in the past few months. I have to go and see."
"Don't worry, let's go together." Lu Yi held her shoulders, "Stay here and don't move. I'll light the candle first."
Lu Yi and Mu Siyu rushed to Xia Mansion.
Xia Kun had already made complete preparations. In addition to the best Wen Po and the best doctor, he also prepared a century-old ginseng.
He has already considered all situations.
Xia Kun looks rough, but when facing the people he cares about, he is more careful than many men.
When Lu Yi and Mu Siyu arrived, Xia Kun was accompanying An Yu in the room, and standing outside was An Yiheng.
When An Yiheng saw Lu Yi and Mu Siyu appear, he raised his hands in salute.
Lu Yi returned the gift and said, "How is it inside?"
"The fetal position was incorrect just now. Wen Po was always richer and corrected the fetal position. Now we have to wait for news." An Yiheng said.
"Ah..." An Yu's cry was very miserable.
Xia Kun comforted her with the gentlest voice ever.
The servant brought the stool and put tea on the table.
Lu Yi put his arm around Mu Siyu's shoulders and comforted her silently.
They can't help at this time and just hope everything goes well.
An Yiheng looked at the couple.
From the north of Shanghai to the capital, from poverty to the official position now, their feelings have never changed.
No, there are still changes. They are becoming more and more understanding and loving each other.
Mu Siyu is not the most beautiful woman in the world, but she has a unique aura that no other woman has.
An Yiheng had to admit that when he looked at her after so many years, his heart still couldn't help but throb. After all, she was so outstanding, but he was becoming more and more mediocre.
Is he content with mediocrity?
Of course not.
"Wow... wow..." A child's cry came from inside.
"It's born, it's born." Po Wen said excitedly.
"Doctor, take a look at my wife first." Xia Kun's voice sounded.
Mu Siyu and Lu Yi listened to the voices inside and roughly knew what was going on.
Fortunately, there was no danger. An Yu was just a little weak and was fine soon. She gave Xia Kun a fat boy weighing seven pounds and two ounces. Although it was difficult to give birth, her voice was still loud.
Mu Siyu asked the people inside, and only went in to see An Yu with the owner's permission.
Xia Kun made sure that An Yu was fine, told her, and came out to greet Lu Yi and his uncle who had been watching for half the night.
"Thank you for your hard work, An Yu." Mu Siyu took An Yu's hand.
An Yu's face was full of smiles: "This is nothing. I feel very happy that I can give birth to a child for my husband. I have been looking forward to this moment for so many years."
"Let me take a look at this little guy." Mu Siyu picked up Xiao An from the nanny's arms.
When An Yu first became pregnant, Xia Kun gave the little one in her belly a nickname, Xia Xiaoan.
"Look at this little face..." Mu Siyu showed the child to An Yu, "It looks like you, so small. Fortunately, it looks like you. If only he looked like Brother Xia, tsk tsk..."
"My husband is also good-looking." An Yu protested.
"Yes, your husband is good-looking." Mu Siyu smiled, "You really protect him."
An Yu looked at the dawn outside and said, "Look, it's dawn. This child is born facing the sun. It's great."
An Yu was about to have her confinement, so Mu Siyu didn't stay there for too long and went home to catch up on her sleep.
During the baptism ceremony, Xia Kun only invited his family.
On the day of the baptism ceremony, it happened to be the day when Lu Shaoyu and Mu Zhenghan released their results.
"Madam..." The servant ran in from outside, "Our young master is the first, and my uncle has also passed the exam."
"Congratulations." An Yu said, leaning on the bed, "Send someone to ask them if they will come back for lunch today. If so, come here to have lunch."
"The two masters are already on their way back," the servant said.
Although they are only scholars now, it is already a happy event for them.
Lu Shaoyu was selected as a scholar when he was only twelve years old. This is considered a good story among scholars. Some people are still taking the scholar examination when they are forty or fifty years old.
At noon, Lu Yi, who had not been back for lunch for a long time, also came and took Lu Xuan with him.
Beside them was a man wearing a cloak and dressed strangely.
The man took off his cloak, revealing a rebellious face.
"Am I weird like this?" Fan Yuanxi curled his lips.
"It's not surprising, Your Highness Prince Zhong." Mu Siyu saluted.
Several others followed and saluted.
An Yu is in confinement and cannot see guests. Today, there are no others to be invited to the third banquet, so Xia Kun can just greet them.
An Yiheng didn't know that the relationship between the Lu family and Prince Zhong was so close that he could be invited to the banquet for his sister's baptism.
"Lu Yi, do your family's heads look different?" Fan Yuanxi looked at Lu Shaoyu, "Your son became famous in one battle."
Although he is only a scholar, he is a twelve-year-old scholar, and he is still the number one scholar. Of course, many people inquire about his origins.
Lu Yi said calmly: "My lord, please stop praising him. He is young and will take it seriously."
"Your Majesty, my brother is very hardworking." Lu Zhiyun said, "He is very smart, but his smart head was given to him by his parents, and hard work is his own ability."
"You are also very famous now." Fan Yuanxi looked at her, "I entered the palace that day and heard Concubine Chu talking about you to the queen."
Mu Siyu and Lu Yi looked at each other.
What does Concubine Chu want to do?
"The queen plans to expand the harem for the prince." Fan Yuanxi said, "Concubine Chu mentioned you in front of the queen, she is afraid that she wants to spread your 'good name'."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me." Mu Siyu understood what Fan Yuanxi meant.
Concubine Chu didn't want Fan Yan to lose his mind because of Lu Zhiyun, so she wanted to lure this "disaster" to the East Palace. However, is the queen a vegetarian? She would definitely not be fooled by this.
It's just that Concubine Chu's behavior is really disgusting.
Many people here, except for a few women who don't understand the court, must have understood what Fan Yuanxi said.
"It seems that we should let King Xuan choose his concubine as soon as possible." To avoid disturbing their girls.
"Shao Yu, you are now famous and can no longer go to the study." Lu Yi said, "If you have a special academy you want to go to, you can tell me and I will help you arrange it."
"Dad, Master is going back to Beijing." Lu Shaoyu said, "Wherever he goes to teach, I will go to study."
"Master Wen?" Fan Yuanxi said, "He belongs to the prince. If you get too close to him, you may be considered a princeling by default."
"It doesn't matter. Shaoyu is still young and has a series of scientific examinations. After this busy period is over, not many people will continue to pay attention to him. After all, it will take him a few years to grow up." Lu Yi said.
