Chapter 528 Another Child

Chu Qingmeng: "..."

There was no conversation all night. At the beginning of the morning, Mo Liujin got up and Chu Qingmeng woke up as well. Mo Liujin advised her to sleep a little longer, but she refused. She had no choice but to eat first, change into light armor and go out.

Chu Qingmeng followed him all the way to the door to see him off. Looking at the three of them, father and son, dressed in military uniforms, he couldn't help but smirk at Mo Liujin, then whispered, "Tsk tsk, the young general is much better looking than the old guy~"

Mo Liujin was instantly amused by the anger, but he still whispered a few words, "I'll deal with anything too troublesome when I get back, and try not to leave the house."

Chu Qingmeng's face instantly fell, and he whispered, "I bet that as soon as you leave the city gate, my father will find a job for me. He will definitely not let me be idle."

Mo Liujin rubbed her head and whispered in the same tone, "If you want to do it, do it. If you don't want to do it, just tell him clearly."

Chu Qingmeng nodded sullenly, "Be careful and come back soon."

"Okay." Mo Liujin agreed softly and mounted his horse. Jiang Qing and Jiang Che followed closely behind.

"You two brats, be careful and don't act rashly. Listen to your father." It was the first time that Chu Qingmeng sent his two sons out, and he was still a little worried.

"Yes, mother, I've made a note of it." Mo Jiangqing said with a smile, "Don't worry, mother. This isn't a battlefield. It's not that dangerous."

"Mother, don't worry. It will only take a few days. Your son and father will be back soon." Mo Jiangche said a few words of comfort, raised his hand, waved the whip and said goodbye to Chu Qingmeng and Xu.

"Let's go." Mo Liujin glanced at Chu Qingmeng, called out to the two younger ones, and rode away together.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xu stood on Chu Qingmeng's left and right. Mrs. Li said, "Mother, let's go back. It's still cold."

"Let's go, mother. You are not feeling well. Don't catch a cold." Xu also advised.

"Let's go back." Chu Qingmeng looked at Xu reaching out to help her, and suddenly she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Okay, Qihua, I'm not old or eighty years old. Do you still need to help me in this state?"

Mrs. Xu smiled shyly upon hearing this. She had only subconsciously gone to support her elder. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to the inner courtyard. The wet nurse brought in two children. Chu Qingmeng looked at the little faces that had grown a little and gently pinched them, "They look much better."

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Children are like this, they change every day."

"Let's call this one Zeqian. I hope he will be humble and polite in the future." Chu Qingmeng hugged the eldest of the twins, tapped his little nose, and spoke to Li.

"Yes, mother, have you thought of a name for our fourth brother?" Li asked.

"Ze Kai. Kai means harmony and happiness." Chu Qingmeng looked at the children in the wet nurse's arms and spoke the meaning of their names in a gentle voice.

Li Shi's delicate mind could hear that Chu Qingmeng was trying to please her with such a name that held no great significance, and she felt quite helpless. "Mother, since I have raised you as my child, I will treat you equally."

Chu Qingmeng looked at Li and smiled a little guiltily, "It's hard for you."

"How could that be, mother?" Li didn't understand why she felt guilty. The child didn't need her to take care of him. The wet nurse was taking care of him. She only needed to look at him occasionally. He was just raised in her yard.

"Second Madam." Jiang Che's maid rushed over to report, "Ms. Lin fell and is about to give birth."

"Has the midwife gone? Ask the court doctor to go and wait as well." Xu frowned in response to the old woman's words.

"Yes, the midwife has come. I will go and ask the palace doctor now." The old woman took her leave.

Chu Qingmeng wanted to go and take a look, but Chunhe put his hand on her shoulder and shook his head gently. She then said, "Qihua, don't rush in. Let the servants go. You have to take care of yourself."

Xu was slightly stunned, then agreed with a smile, and sent her personal maid to watch over it, while she chatted with Chu Qingmeng in the hall.

Near noon, the maid brought the child back to announce the good news, saying that the dose of labor-inducing medicine prescribed by the court doctor took effect quickly, and Lin gave birth to a boy smoothly.

Chu Qingmeng looked at the wrinkled child and smiled with disdain again. Are there no good-looking children in this world?

"Now, I have to trouble mother to come up with a name." Xu looked at Chu Qingmeng.

Chu Qingmeng laughed twice. "When I was thinking of names for Zeqian and the others, your father and I thought of several. According to the order, let's call them Zexi."

"Then mother, have you thought of a name for your daughter-in-law's little cotton-padded jacket?" Mrs. Xu smiled and stroked her belly.

"Not yet, I always want to..."

"Princess." Wu Yong's voice suddenly appeared outside the door, interrupting Chu Qingmeng's words. The maid opened the curtain, and Wu Yong bowed and said respectfully with a flick of his whisk, "The emperor has ordered you to enter the palace."

"..." Chu Qingmeng touched her forehead speechlessly, she knew it! "Well, I'll go after I change my clothes."

Before Li and Xu could even stand up, the instructions were finished. They looked at each other, wondering if they should kneel down and listen. The mother-in-law just said "hmm"?! This...

"You two should rest at home. If you want to go out, remember to bring guards with you." Chu Qingmeng gave the instructions and got up to go back to the warm room to change clothes.
