Liu Mingzhi just stopped outside the Queen's boudoir in a daze, smoking six or seven pots of tobacco in succession, until his throat became dry and painful, and then he heard the sound of the door opening behind him.
Liu Mingzhi instinctively turned around and looked towards the door, and saw Qi Yun directing four petite and cute little maids, carrying four covered wooden barrels and walking towards the backyard.
After the four little maids left together, Qi Yun smiled and walked towards her husband who was looking at her silently.
"Silly husband, why are you staring at me blankly?
Are you impatient?"
"What are you talking about? What is there to be anxious about? As long as the mother and son are safe and the husband is safe, I will be relieved. No matter how anxious it is, there is no need to rush now.
How about polite words? Are you feeling well?"
Qi Yun looked at her husband looking towards the Queen's boudoir, and rolled her eyes softly: "I said just now that I wasn't in a hurry! Has the secret been revealed now?
Don't worry, Sister Wanyan's health is good. She gave birth to the baby smoothly without any physical fatigue.
Right now, I am chatting and laughing with my sister, Qingshi and the others in the room!
After the midwife washes the baby's dirt with hot water, we can go in.
Don't be impatient, half a stick of incense or one stick of incense should be enough.
By the way, have you decided on the child’s name?”
"Get up, Liu Chengrui, how do you feel?"
Qi Yun nodded her chin and pondered for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction: "The name has the meaning of connecting the past and the future, being smart and wise, and the artistic conception is good and worthy of consideration. It's very good. I think it's very good.
However, the child is not from my concubine. It is useless if I think it is good. You have to politely tell your sister that she thinks it is good and you can pass the test.
If you can't satisfy her, I'll make you sit on the washboard in the future."
"How dare she? She rebelled against her.
You, the Liu family, are satisfied with your name, so why should she not agree?"
Qi Yun let out a muffled laugh, raised her hand and lightly hit Liu Mingzhi on the shoulder: "Smelly poor! I see you, you only dare to have a taste of it here.
I'm afraid I won't even dare to fart in front of Sister Wanyan!"
Liu Mingzhi immediately raised his hand to slap Qi Yun's butt: "It seems that I didn't teach you a lesson last night, and you dared to tease my husband.
I must take some time out someday to make your memory long."
Qi Yun's pretty face suddenly had a faint blush, she looked around at the deserted courtyard and sighed inwardly.
"Shameless, what you say in broad daylight has no sense of propriety. If the maid hears it, will you still be a human being if you ask me to be a concubine? How can you be in charge of the female family members of the inner courtyard?"
Liu Mingzhi nonchalantly came to the corner of Qi Yun's mouth to steal a kiss, and looked at Qi Yun who was not coquettish with a smile: "Then let's wait until it's late at night and no one is around to talk."
"Where's your husband!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Qi Yun's shy appearance and was about to say something when Qi Ya's soft voice came from behind him.
"You two, don't be so affectionate there. It's just you and me. The child has been cleaned. Come in and take a look."
Liu Mingzhi kneaded Qi Yun's butt without leaving any trace, then trotted towards Qi Ya with a smile.
"Coming! Coming!"
Qi Yun let out a soft cry, followed her husband with a pretty face, and waved her white palms at Young Master Liu's back, obviously feeling helpless about her husband's improper behavior.
Liu Mingzhi followed Qi Ya directly around the main room and walked behind the screen. There was a faint smell of sandalwood lingering in the room, and there was almost no smell.
When the third princess Li Yan saw her husband, she came up to him with the baby in her arms.
"Husband, take a look at the little son that sister Wanyan gave birth to for you."
Liu Mingzhi leaned forward and glanced at the swaddling baby in the arms of the third princess. Looking at the crumpled baby in the swaddling clothes, Young Master Liu clicked his tongue twice.
"It's ugly."
After leaving a casual comment, Young Master Liu ignored the suddenly strange expressions on the faces of the girls and walked directly towards the bed where the Queen was resting.
Sitting directly on the edge of the bed, Liu Mingzhi looked at the queen leaning on the soft cushion, her delicate face was slightly pale, and she looked a little weak, and he gently grabbed the queen's jade hand and held it in his hand, his eyes full of worry.
"To put it bluntly, there is nothing uncomfortable with your body, right? If there is anything wrong, you must not hide it from your husband."
The queen pursed her dry lips, feeling Liu Mingzhi's caring eyes, and her heart felt as warm as the morning sun.
"It's okay. I was a little weak at first, but I'll feel better after resting for a while. You don't have to worry about speaking politely.
This child is better than Yue'er, a stinky girl, who knows how to care for his mother, and was born without letting his mother endure too much torture."
"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay.
You have just given birth, and although you are not too tired, your body must be a little tired. We will not stay here with you any longer and disturb your rest. When you recover, we can get together and talk properly."
The Queen did feel that she was a little tired, and she nodded silently without being polite.
"Okay, I won't be polite to you then. Let's sleep for a while to recuperate."
"Should the child stay with you, or should he be taken to another place first?"
"Stay with Wanyan, I want to see more of him."
When the third princess heard the Queen's words, she hurriedly walked over with the baby in her arms and gently placed the baby on the Queen's pillow.
"Sister Wanyan, take a look, the little guy is very cute."
Young Master Liu glanced at his infant son again and curled his lips casually: "You are telling lies with your eyes open, and your little face is so wrinkled that it is no better than a monkey. How do you see how cute he is?"
The third princess was stunned for a moment, then reacted and hurriedly patted Young Master Liu on the shoulder: "Bad husband, shut your foul mouth. If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."
The Queen also rolled her eyes lightly, looking at the children beside her with bright eyes, glaring at Young Master Liu and pointing her lotus arms in the direction of the door.
"roll!"
Young Master Liu rubbed his nose angrily, curled his lips, stood up and walked towards the door.
"Just get out, it's unjust! Why don't you let me talk about how ugly you are?
In this world, is it not enough to tell the truth?"
Qi Ya shook her head helplessly as she looked at her naughty husband who insisted on teasing the Queen. Then she directly grabbed Mr. Liu's ear with her green-white jade fingers and pulled her away from the screen.
"Good husband, come on, sisters, I think it is necessary to teach your husband the art of chatting today."
"That's right, the Spring Festival is another happy day. You can tell nonsense when you open your mouth. A person in his thirties has no integrity at all.
Sisters, beat him for his lack of conscience!"
"Uh-huh... Ya... Qi Ya... Heihu... Heihu, I feel so sorry for you to use such a cruel move on your husband.
This young master will remember you, don’t let me get the chance to take revenge, otherwise it will be useless even if you call me daddy.”
"Ah haha... Yun Xiaoxi, you stinky girl, you are going to shake things up."
"Hey Yun'er, a beating is enough, but tearing off your clothes is too much!
It's too much, it's really too much, it will freeze people to death.
Qi Yun, as an eldest wife, is this how you educate your sisters?
Don't, don't, don't! Leave some close-fitting clothes at least, you really went too far!
I am angry, I tell you, my husband is really angry."
"Oh ho... my sparrow, crazy bitch, where are you going to get it? Do you want to be a widow for the rest of your life?"
"..."
Queen, Yun Qingshi listened to the commotion outside the door, smiled bitterly and shook her head.
With a happy smile on her face, Yun Qingshi handed the warm tea she poured into the Queen's hand.
"Sister, this is our family. My husband really loves us and doesn't care about us.
If she were placed in the home of another famous family, how could any of the wives and concubines dare to go as far as the head of the family?
Thanks to our husband's big heart, otherwise a letter of divorce would have been handed to our sisters long ago."
"It seems that he really changed you a lot."
"Life! This is how you should live it to be enjoyable, isn't it?"
The fifth day of the first lunar month in the fourth year of Dalong Taiping.
After confirming that the queen, mother and child were safe, Liu Mingzhi informed Qi Yun and the third princess of some family matters.
After changing into a light and powerful outfit, he went to the prince's old residence alone to meet Chen Jie.
