Chapter 23 Long Pregnancy

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, Mu Sheng returned to the capital. After all, the one in the capital is his wife and the princess of the prince. There is really no reason to stay in Beiping's other hospital and not go back for the Spring Festival. Hui Niang is naturally unwilling, but what can she do?!

On the evening before departure, Mu Sheng also went to Chen Shoucai's house next to him, brought a lot of New Year's goods, and asked them to take more care of Hui Niang. Before leaving, Mu Sheng told Hui Niang to be careful and never touch the fetal gas. Only then did he reluctantly get into the carriage.

Hui Niang watched her husband's carriage fade away until it disappeared at the entrance of the alley. My heart suddenly became empty. He sighed and slowly walked into the other courtyard with the help of Xue Zhu. He didn't go back to the room, went straight to the back garden, went straight to the ginkgo tree, saw the things and thought of people, but silently shed tears. Xue Zhu quickly handed over the silk handkerchief and persuaded, "Miss, don't be sad! Didn't the governor tell you not to touch the fetal gas when he left. After a while, did you forget? The governor has only been away for ten days. Why don't you take these ten days to make yourself more beautiful? When the governor comes back, I will be more happy to see you!"

"What a sly girl!" Huang turned from the stone road and joked about the snow bamboo with a smile.

Xue Zhu greeted him with a smile and saluted Huang. The shopkeeper's grandmother laughed!"

Huang Shi picked up Xue Zhu and walked to Hui Niang with a smile. I guess the young lady must be very bored, so I came to see the young lady. I went to the room to find you just now. Yue Ying said that you hadn't come back yet. I guessed that you came to the garden, and that's where you met. With that, Huang took Hui Niang's hand and said with a smile, "Miss, come with me!" Shou Cai went to the salt number. Huize hasn't seen you for a few days and misses you. I've been asking me to bring her to play with you!"

Hui Niang nodded and went there with Huang Shi. I didn't go back to the hospital until I finished dinner. Lying on **, there is only one person left, deserted. I couldn't sleep with my eyes open, and I counted in my heart. It took me a long time to fall asleep in a daze.

At noon on New Year's Eve, Hui Niang had lunch with Chen Shoucai's family and went back to the other hospital early. First, I sent the maids back to my room to sleep. I couldn't sleep and sat by the bed to make the children's clothes. When her eyes were tired, Hui Niang put down the needle and thread in her hand, gently stroked her stomach, and said to herself, "Son, today is New Year's Eve. Your father is not at home, just the two of us for the Spring Festival. Fortunately, you are still with me." Hui Niang looked at the sun that began to slant west and muttered, "I don't know what your father is doing now? Are you thinking about us?" ......

On the afternoon of the sixth day of the first lunar new year, Hui Niang was still taking a nap and suddenly felt that someone was close to her face. Hui Niang suddenly woke up and opened her eyes in panic. When he saw the other party clearly, he immediately smiled. Mu Sheng is right in front of him.

"Faband, you're back! Why is it so early?"

"Hmm! Do you still think I came back early?" Mu Sheng smiled and teased her.

Hui Niang explained with a smile, "Husband, how come? Of course, I look forward to your early return. It's just that the road from the capital to Beiping is far away. I guess I won't arrive until tomorrow!"

Mu Sheng took off his boots and the cotton-padded robe outside, got into the quilt, hugged Hui Niang, and said proudly, "I left yesterday afternoon and rushed all night, so I'm here now. I'm hungry and sleepy now.

"I'll prepare the meal!"

Mu Sheng hugged Hui Niang and did not move. No more eating. I'm very tired. Let's take a break first."

After a while, Mu Sheng fell asleep. Although Hui Niang was not sleepy, she still lay with her husband, as if she had eaten honey.

After the Spring Festival, it will be the Shangyuan Festival in a few days. The court has a ten-day holiday. The king of Yan found a reason to leave Mu Sheng in Beiping. In this way, Mu Sheng can accompany Hui Niang safely. Hui Niang has been pregnant for more than four months and hasn't been pregnant yet. But the child has begun to move around restlessly, swimming around like a small fish. Every time the child swims, it can bring infinite joy and happiness to Hui Niang. Mu Sheng insisted on accompanying Hui Niang for a walk in the back garden every day. During this period, the two also went to the Yanwang Mansion to see the party. Occasionally, the Huang family next door will visit Hui Niang. In this way, the two of them happily finished the Shangyuan Festival.

After February, the weather gradually warmed up, and Hui Niang's body began to be heavy. Mu Sheng often needs to work in the capital. Princess Yan has been here several times, and every time she brings Hui Niang some rare things that can't be bought on the market. Hui Niang was moved on the surface, but it was as clear as a mirror in her heart, which was just to attract her husband.

In mid-May, Hui Niang had a threatened miscarriage. I don't know why. Every day after getting up, there are wisps of blood on my trousers. After three days of forbearance, Hui Niang finally couldn't calm down. When Mu Sheng went out early in the morning, he invited his sister-in-law Huang Shitong to the Hidden City Hall and asked the old fairy to check his pulse. Coincidentally, the old fairy was in the hall today. Hui Niang said the symptoms, but the old fairy still looked indifferent and gave Hui Niang a pulse.

"No problem! You don't need to take medicine, but you need acupuncture once. The old man said confidently.

After applying the silver needle, there were no bad symptoms from the end of the day. Hui Niang's hanging heart was put down.

It is said that the days are not long until the beginning of July. Mu Sheng was appointed by the King of Yan and needs to stay in Beiping for three months. The King of Yan helped Mu Sheng again. He could justly stay with Hui Niang and wait for delivery with her.
