The third lady Ye Wanqiu finished dinner, and the personal slave Yan'er returned to Zhiqiu Courtyard with her wife, Yan'er hurriedly went into the house and took a long gown and draped it over the skirt worn by Mrs.

"Madam, the slave has already told the front yard, if the general comes back, he will come to tell him as soon as possible, Madame has stomach pain in recent days, and I am afraid that Madame will have fetal gas when I go upstairs, so Madame is still resting downstairs." Yan'er saw that Mrs. insisted on going upstairs, worried about Mrs., and frowned and persuaded anxiously.

"Yan'er, you don't listen to me anymore, do you? Come here, help me up. Seeing Yan'er persuading her, Ye Wanqiu couldn't help but raise her voice in a hurry.

"Madam, the slave and maid dare not disobey your order, the slave and maid are worried about Madame." Yan'er knows the lady's heart very well, and knows that she can't resist the lady, so she can only stop persuading, as the lady's personal slave, she knows the lady's mind well.

The bamboo window on the second floor can see the entire general's mansion, including the beast head gate that the general will enter when he returns to the mansion, she can only slowly climb up to the second floor with his wife in her arms, explain that she looked at her wife, and turned downstairs to make the bed and bedding.

Ye Wanqiu climbed up to the second floor of Zhiqiu Courtyard, everything was displayed as usual, since she was pregnant, the days of coming up were numbered, Ye Wanqiu pushed open the big carved bamboo window in front of the dresser, although she did not come up for several days, but the slaves and maids still cleaned the second floor every day, spotless.

It's just that I haven't opened the window for a long time, and when I pushed it open, it was still a little creaky, and a cold wind blew in, Ye Wanqiu gasped, time flies so fast, and it's late autumn in a blink of an eye.

Through this bamboo window, you can overlook the entire General's Mansion, and the scenery of the entire General's Mansion is in full view, Ye Wanqiu couldn't help but sigh when she saw that the gate of the General's Mansion was still closed.

She untied the hairpin that tied her hair in front of the rhombic bronze mirror, picked up the grate on the dresser, and pulled together her waterfall-like black hair, the general loved her long hair, so although she was pregnant, she still insisted on combing her hair.

Combing his hair on his hands, he looked up at the full moon in the sky, the bright and flawless moonlight illuminated the entire Zhiqiu Courtyard as bright as day, and all kinds of unknown insects in the quiet courtyard were chirping, as if they were in a competition.

Every time the general is called, Ye Wanqiu has to carry a heart at home, until the general returns safely, the hanging heart can not be put down, although it is a banquet, but the emperor is moody, I don't know what will happen.

At the last banquet, an official angered the emperor because he said the wrong word, and he was beheaded all over the house, for which she sighed for many days and was afraid for many days.

"What time is it?" Ye Wanqiu stood up with her stomach in her hands, walked to the bamboo window, and looked out, only the stars and lights flickered in the darkness, she turned around and sat down in the house.

"Mrs. Hui, it's time to go, just when I returned to Zhiqiu Courtyard, Yan'er turned around and went to the front yard to tell me again and again, Xiao Xiazi was guarding the gate, and didn't dare to nap for a moment, if the general rushed back as soon as possible, he would come to tell him immediately." Huan'er gently closed the bamboo window, and the wind kept pouring in, but don't freeze your wife.

Xiao Xiazi is the steward of the slaves and slaves who are in charge of the Zhiqiu Academy, originally he was a lowly slave who was bullied by chopping wood and carrying water, Ye Wanqiu saw that although he was from a humble background, he was also smart and clever, so he asked the general and transferred him to the Zhiqiu Academy.

"That's good, it's okay, the children in the belly are jubilant, but I'm a little tired, help me down and rest." When she heard her lady say this, she hurriedly called for Yan'er at the staircase, and Yan'er ran up quickly when she heard the sound, and helped Mrs. downstairs with her husband, and the heart that worried Mrs. finally landed.

Mrs. has always been thin and weak, and the general married three years before she became pregnant, vomiting in the first three months of pregnancy can not eat a little, and often see blood, the general specially asked the emperor, the emperor sent the director of the Imperial Physician's Department Hong Miaochun to see, prescribe a fetal protection prescription, Mrs. was bedridden for three months, drank three months of decoction, and finally saved the first child with the general.

Although it is said that the child was saved, Yan'er did not dare to take it lightly, especially climbing the stairs is a big deal in her eyes, which is absolutely impossible, but Mrs. said it today, and she also wants to see the general come back with her own eyes, and Mrs.'s deep affection for the general is not something she can stop. But it's okay, it's good to go downstairs now.

Yan'er, a quirky little girl, is also neat with her hands and feet, and in a short period of time, the downstairs bedroom has been tidied up, the bed is covered with soft bedding, the charcoal fire in the copper smoker in the four corners of the bedroom is crackling, and the warm current is bubbling out of the small hole of the copper smoker, and the whole bedroom is as warm as a spring afternoon, which is in stark contrast to the cold wind outside the house.

"Madam, the hot water has been prepared, please wash up and go to bed." Yan'er happily wrung out the handkerchief with her hands and feet, smiled at the corners of her eyes, and handed the handkerchief to Madame.

"You little girl, you don't have to hang your heart on your head all day long, I and the general's first child, I can not pay attention! I don't know the depth! Ye Wanqiu took the warm facecloth, wiped her face, handed the handkerchief to Yan'er, and then washed her hands in the basin.

"Also, the water in the basin doesn't need to be so hot next time, look, your white and tender jade hands are red, I feel sorry if you don't hurt me." Ye Wanqiu pulled Yan'er's hand over, put it in the palm of her hand and touched it, and gently lit her forehead with her other hand.

"Madame......" Yan'er was a little moved for a while, she wanted to speak but didn't know what to say, she was speechless and choked, Madame had moved her too many things, how could she be Madame's personal servant in this life, if she was by the side of the eldest lady and the second lady, her life would be over.

Late autumn, as the night gets deeper and deeper, the cold gradually gathers, and the boiling water boiled in the evening is put in the hot kettle, and it is not so hot after a long time.

So Yan'er told the servants in the kitchen to boil the boiling water half an hour before Mrs. went to bed, and poured it into the hot kettle, and the face wiping water that Yan'er prepared for Mrs. was always a little hot, and the face was wrung out and then shaken, and the copper smoker was not used a few days ago, and the cold wind blew, and then to Mrs. Hand, I was afraid that it would be a little colder.

The water is hotter, so that Mrs. rubs it on her face just right, warm and warm, she can't let Mrs. wash her face is cold, even if the hot water will make her hands red, Mrs. is so good, she is also willing.

"Madam, the intimate clothes have been warmed by the smoker, it's late at night, Madame quickly rest, yesterday I heard Mrs. said that the air in the bedroom is too stuffy, and I didn't light the incense in the aromatherapy burner today, I wonder if Mrs. can sleep well?"

"Don't worry, Lian'er, although it is a soothing incense, lit at night, smelling it and feeling stuffy and panicked, the children in the belly are happy at night, and they have slept restlessly and steadily in recent days, it is better not to order, and the air can still circulate cleanly."

Ye Wanqiu touched her big belly, and every day she rubbed the emollient cream that the general took from the Imperial Doctor's Department on her belly, and she didn't have a single skin line, and her belly was still white and delicate.

"That's right, madam, Mrs. Wen has been waiting in the west wing room in recent days, she doesn't dare to sleep at night, take a nap during the day, the best doctor Liang in Chang'an City is also waiting in the east wing, the servants and maids of Zhiqiu Courtyard are all waiting in the inverted room, if Mrs. has any orders, she can summon someone, so please Mrs. rest at night, don't worry, the general will come back in a while." The smoke kept her mouth open, and she neatly took off her wife's skirt and gown, and then changed into warm close-fitting clothes.

Doctor Liang and Mrs. Wen had been placed in the mansion by the general before March, living in the east and west wings of Zhiqiu Courtyard, with delicious food, comfortable bedrooms, and good money every month to serve, I was afraid that Ye Wanqiu would find no one if something happened at any time.

When the lady lay down on the Luohan bed, put a pillow on her head, Yan'er covered the lady with a brocade jacket, and tucked the corners of the quilt, and saw that the four corners were not leaking, and then Yan'er put down the curtain on the lady's Luohan bed, and then she retreated with peace of mind.

A few days ago, Yan'er and Er'er slept outside the screen in front of Luohan's bed outside the screen, and Mrs. Liang had stomach pain from time to time recently, Dr. Liang counted the days and said that a few days were the time to give birth, so Yan'er and Li'er rested directly in front of Mrs. Luohan's bed, although she was resting, but she didn't dare to really sleep.

Ye Wanqiu just closed her eyes and fell asleep, only to feel a chill in her calves, sleepiness hit, her eyes struggled to open, lifted the brocade, the snow-white bedding had been wet with a transparent liquid, and her stomach was densely packed with pain again and again, remembering some of the labor knowledge that Wen's mother-in-law taught her before, she immediately screamed loudly.

"Smoke get up, I'm going to give birth!" Ye Wanqiu held her big belly with her hands and screamed loudly, her voice mixed with fear and panic, and some expectation.

Yan'er Huan'er had pretended not to fall asleep, and in recent days they didn't dare to really sleep, hearing Mrs. shouting loudly, Yan'er hurriedly lifted the futon, ran to Luohan's bed, neatly lifted the curtain, hung the curtain, and knelt down in front of the lady.

Yan'er saw that Mrs. looked at the wet futon with a panicked face, her brows were furrowed with her hands holding her stomachache, and she hurriedly said: "Madam, don't move for the time being, the slave maid will immediately call the mother-in-law to come over, Madame must not be in a hurry, Huan'er, you take care of Madame here, I will come when I go." After saying that, Yan'er immediately ran out of the bedroom, out of the main hall, opened the door and shouted.

Hu'er sat on the edge of the Luohan bed, raised the pillow, and then let Mrs. lean on the pillow, put her arms on Madame's neck, and hugged Madame tightly: "Madam, Mrs. Wen will come soon, Madame wait a while, Madame don't have to be afraid!"

Yan'er walked out of Madame's bedroom and shouted in the courtyard: "Madame is about to give birth, hurry up and prepare!" In an instant, in the east and west wings, the inverted room where the slaves lived, and the ever-bright lights in the back cover room where the slaves and maids lived were lit up one after another, and the originally dark courtyard lit up all of a sudden.
