Zhongtian looked at Le Xingxi, who was leaning against Zhongtian's leg with his eyes slightly closed and his face slightly flushed. From Zhongtian's perspective, he could see Le Xingxi's slightly curled eyelashes.

Zhongtian wanted to push him away, but since Le Xingxi had just helped her, she thought for a moment, took off her own clothes, and draped them over Le Xingxi.

It was extremely quiet outside, with only the occasional whispers of passersby on the road. Zhongtian quietly watched Lexingxi until the carriage stopped at the entrance of Wudao Temple.

“Lord Yue, wake up…” Zhong Tian gently nudged Yue Xingxi.

Le Xingxi slowly opened her eyes, saw the clothes draped over her body, and smiled slightly: "I thought you were going to push me away!"

"Have you rested?"

Le Xingxi straightened her somewhat disheveled clothes and said gently, "I feel much better. Don't call me Le Gongfeng anymore, just call me Xingxi. Le Gongfeng is what outsiders call me."

Nakata wondered: Are we being too intimate?

"Madam Zhong, you're being too distant. I'll get angry."

"Okay, Xingxi." Zhongtian smiled and said, "Happy birthday!"

Today is the birthday of Consort Yue in the palace, and naturally it is also the birthday of Yue Xingxi.

Le Xingxi was about to get off the carriage, but then she turned around and asked playfully, "What about my birthday present?"

Nakata was a little embarrassed, as she had not known beforehand and had not prepared a birthday gift.

"Make me a pretty little fox too, the one I found is all dried up."

It turns out that the straw fox that Zhongtian lost was found by Lexingxi.

"That's easy."

Zhongtian got off the carriage and pulled Lexingxi to sit on the ground. The two of them abandoned their manners and Zhongtian used grass to weave foxes, rabbits, and all sorts of small animals.

Le Xingxi held them one by one in her hands, examining them one by one. When a breeze blew, they moved with the wind, looking lifelike and extremely cute.

In this warm atmosphere, someone slowly walked over. It was Zhou Xiaodi, pale-faced and timid: "Master Yue, I..."

With a third person in the room, the space suddenly became a bit crowded. Le Xingxi stood up and said to Zhong Tian, ​​"Thank you. I'm very happy today. You can go back now; your husband is waiting for you at home."

The night breeze dispelled his slightly tipsy state, and Zhou Xiaodi's arrival brought him back to his senses.

Zhongtian nodded: "Okay."

Back at the manor, Xia Muning was directing the servants to pick grapes. There was a grape vine planted in the side courtyard, which was growing exceptionally well this year.

Xia Muning's belly is already very big; she will give birth in a month.

The days spent resting in the house during pregnancy were extremely boring. He could only stay in the house all day, reading or making beautiful clothes for the baby.

The grapes in the side courtyard were ripe, and Xia Muning, being a glutton, had Shishu pick a few bunches. The slightly sour grapes were very much to Xia Muning's liking, so he couldn't help but eat a few more bunches.

Zhongtian was unaware of this and assumed that Xia Muning liked it, so he washed a grape and put it in Xia Muning's mouth, feeding her one grape at a time. Xia Muning ate them happily.

Shi Shu said anxiously from the side, "My lord, you can't eat anymore. You've already eaten a lot. You'll feel uncomfortable if you eat any more."

Xia Muning didn't seem to mind: "It's alright."

But at night, Xia Muning's stomach started to feel uncomfortable, with excruciating pain. When Zhong Tian found her, she was already covered in cold sweat.

Where can I find a doctor in the dead of night?

Late at night, Zhong Tian knocked on Xia Jin'an's door and called Lin Lang out.

Linlang prescribed some medicine, and Xia Jin'an and Zhong Tian stayed by her side anxiously. Xia Muning took the medicine at the crack of dawn and felt a little better.

This alarmed Xia Muning, who immediately arranged for a midwife and a midwife to be at home.

Once Xia Muning felt a little better, he took advantage of the time when Zhong Tian was on duty at the Ministry of Revenue to go and find Xia Jin'an with a gift of thanks.

When Xia Muning arrived, she happened to run into Yu Yijin.

Yu Yijin held the child in her arms. The child looked extremely clever, with its beautiful big eyes looking around curiously and alertly.

With guards carrying knives clearing the way and servants surrounding him, Yu Yijin was dressed in fine silks and satins, looking extremely noble and imposing.

“To my lord,” Xia Muning bowed first.

Now that their roles have been reversed, Yu Yijin, as the general's husband, rightfully received Xia Muning's salute.

Yu Yijin didn't put on airs and said gently, "Lord Xia, how many months pregnant are you?"

"It's been 8 months."

Xia Muning looked at Yu Yijin and realized that a happy atmosphere really can change a person. Yu Yijin, who used to be competitive and always strive to be the best, has now become gentle and kind.

People were coming and going in Tian'an Residence. When Xia Jin'an received the news, she hurriedly went out to greet them. "Lord Yu, Young Master, what brings you here? Please come in quickly."

Xia Muning said with a smile, "Of course, it's to thank you. Thank you for your help."

"Young Master, you're welcome!"

From time to time, there were voices outside calling out to the shopkeeper. "Jin'an, you can go about your business. You don't need to entertain us."

Yu Yijin nodded: "We're only here for a meal today, so let's not interfere with your business."

Seeing this, Xia Jin'an no longer stood on ceremony and said with a smile, "I'll have Linlang serve you a meal. Please have a taste. I really can't leave, so I'll have Linlang keep you company."

"it is good."

A short while later, Linlang came out.

"Linlang, just in time, my Ming'er isn't feeling well, come and take a look."

Linlang stepped forward and took a look, saying, "Young lady, you're alright. You must have caught a cold yesterday. I'll prescribe some medicine and you'll be fine."

"That's good." Yu Yijin felt relieved.

"Linlang, hurry up and urge them to prepare the meal. My Ming'er is hungry."

"…..OK."

Soon the food was served. Linlang looked a little pale, hesitated to speak, but said nothing.

Xia Muning picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth. The food was too sweet and cloying, so she only took one bite before putting it down.

Yu Yijin personally picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in the child's mouth.

The child didn't like the braised pork and shook his head in refusal, but Yu Yijin pinched the child's chin and stuffed the meat into the child's mouth.

The child immediately felt wronged, his eyes brimming with tears. Xia Muning looked somewhat reluctant and gently advised, "My lord, if the child doesn't like it, then don't feed him."

"No, she must eat this meat!"

Xia Muning suddenly sensed something was wrong; Yu Yijin's eyes suddenly flashed with extreme malice.

She suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach, as if countless people were punching and kicking her.

He bit his lip hard to keep her from fainting from the pain, and held Shishu's hand: "Go find a doctor quickly."

He clearly heard Yu Yijin's terrified cries: "Help! Help! Save my child! Someone save my child!"
