Chapter 262 Giving birth
Qiao Qingshu got up very early and took a carriage with Xiao Zhijie to Zhou Quanshu's house.
The carriage stopped in front of the Zhou residence. As Qiao Qingshu alighted, a young man greeted her warmly.
"Madam, you've arrived!"
Qiao Qingshu felt the man in front of her looked very familiar, but she couldn't quite place him. Then she saw the man smile and say...
"Madam probably doesn't remember me, but I will never forget you in this lifetime. When my young master and I were living in a dilapidated house, you descended like a fairy. That one meeting almost turned around my young master's decades of misfortune. Every day was better than the last. You are truly our lucky star!"
Qiao Qingshu remembered that this person was Zhou Quanshu's little pageboy back then.
She still remembered the time she visited Zhou Quanshu; the house was dilapidated and could not keep out the wind and rain at all, so simple and unremarkable.
Looking at it now, Zhou Quanshu has been listed on the list and has been granted an official position. The Zhou family mansion is now very grand.
She suddenly sighed at how time flies; in the blink of an eye, everything had changed.
The pageboy had become the steward of the Zhou family. He was no longer wearing the coarse cloth clothes full of holes, but a long silk robe, which made him look quite noble.
Upon entering the Zhou residence and arriving at the inner courtyard, one immediately hears heart-wrenching screams.
Qiao Qingqiao is still alive.
The midwife and maids were busy going in and out.
Zhou Quanshu stood under the eaves, pacing anxiously back and forth.
Qiao Qingshu and Xiao Zhijie went up to greet them.
"how's it going?"
Zhou Quanshu was sweating profusely with anxiety, and he said with some concern,
"The midwife said the baby's head was a bit big, and Qiao'er was too thin and weak, so she couldn't exert much force."
Qiao Qingshu turned to Xiao Zhijie almost without saying a word and said,
"Go to the palace and find some reliable imperial physicians."
Xiao Zhijie didn't waste any time and immediately turned around, mounted his horse, and rode away.
The imperial physician arrived quickly and joined the delivery team.
At that moment, Qiao Anlan and Qiu Rui also arrived. Just as everyone was anxiously waiting together, a loud cry came from inside the house.
"what!!!!"
Everyone looked up in surprise, only to see the midwife happily push open the door and walk out, holding a tiny baby in her arms.
"Congratulations, Master Zhou! Congratulations on the arrival of a young master!"
Everyone rushed over to see, and saw the tiny baby with its mouth wide open, crying out, but its eyes were not yet open.
She has a rosy complexion, a high nose, and a small mouth; she's very cute and pretty.
Everyone was overjoyed.
Qiu Rui said,
"Oh my, it really does look like the whole book, look at that face and that chin."
Qiao Qingshu also smiled and said,
"Her eyes and nose also resemble Qingqiao's."
The midwife handed the baby to Zhou Quanshu, who stiffened and looked very nervous, unsure how to hold the child.
Under the midwife's guidance, he finally held the baby in his arms. A warm current flowed through his body, and he couldn't help but cry.
This is the continuation of his life; Qingqiao helped him have a child!
Holding the child for less than a moment, Zhou Quanshu handed him back to the midwife and staggered into the house.
Qiao Qingqiao was very weak and lay on the bed with a pale face.
Zhou Quanshu rushed forward and grasped her hand, saying with immense heartache and gratitude,
"Qiao'er, thank you for your hard work."
Qiao Qingqiao opened her eyes wearily, a faint smile tugging at the corners of her lips, but she didn't say anything.
She felt it was all worth it, that it was all worth it.
Zhou Quanshu treated her like a precious jewel, and she bore him children without complaint.
Qiao Qingshu and Qiu Rui followed them in, while Xiao Zhijie and Qiao Anlan, being men, did not enter the room.
The two women stood at the head of the bed, exchanged a few words with Qingqiao, and then withdrew, as the new mother needed to rest properly.
He played with the tiny baby in the baby's room for a long time, when Zhou Quanshu walked in and said with a smile,
"Sister Shu, do you still remember to name our child?"
Back when Qiao Qingqiao was pregnant, the couple asked Qiao Qingshu to name her, and Qingshu did not forget.
She had already thought of a name, and then smiled.
“Let’s name him Enci, Zhou Enci. This child is a gift from heaven to you.”
The crowd around them all agreed, and they spent some more time playing with the child before leaving.
On the return journey in the carriage, Xiao Zhijie seemed especially happy. He smiled and imitated the child's mannerisms, his expression full of longing.
As he spoke, he leaned down and pressed his face against Qiao Qingshu's stomach, saying...
"Good baby, good baby, you must be good and not be like your brother, whose head is so big, making your mother suffer."
Qiao Qingshu found it amusing and reached out to pat Xiao Zhijie on the head, saying...
"You're ridiculous, he can't possibly understand that."
Xiao Zhijie just laughed, touched Qiao Qingshu's belly, and said some silly things.
The carriage stopped at the Xiao family residence, and Xiao Zhijie carefully helped Qiao Qingshu into the mansion.
No one noticed that a beggar was slumped behind the stone lion at the entrance of the Xiao residence. The beggar was disheveled and filthy.
From the moment Qiao Qingshu stepped out of the sedan chair, her eyes shot out from behind the stone lion, her gaze extremely vicious, as if she wanted to devour Qiao Qingshu alive.
Watching Qiao Qingshu, dressed in fine clothes, being surrounded by a crowd as she walked into the Xiao residence, his vicious eyes practically blazed with fire!
"Qiao Qingshu! Why are you so lucky while I live a life worse than a pig or a dog!"
"I'm not reconciled! I'm determined to kill you!"
The beggar clenched his fists tightly, stared at the Xiao family's door plaque, and limped away.
Good news has been coming one after another lately, and soon it will be the day when Princess Yonglin marries into the Bai family.
Knowing that there would be many people and distractions on the wedding day, Qiao Qingshu entered the palace two days in advance, intending to hand over the items to Princess Yonglin.
As she walked into the Imperial Garden, she saw a graceful and elegant woman sitting in a pavilion not far away. Several male concubines were kneeling beside her, massaging her waist and legs, peeling grapes for her and feeding them to her.
Qiao Qingshu frowned slightly. Isn't this Princess Yongxian?
Since Princess Yongxian took the initiative to divorce Xiao Chengyan, she has returned to the palace and has not been seen for a long time.
Seeing her current extravagant lifestyle, Qiao Qingshu wanted to avoid her and take a detour.
But Princess Yongxian had already seen her and called out,
"Qiao Qingshu, come here!"
Qiao Qingshu could no longer avoid it, so she had to bite the bullet and walk forward. She had been far away, but now that she was closer, she could smell a decadent fragrance.
That's an aphrodisiac fragrance.
Looking at the several handsome men with disheveled clothes beside her, and seeing that Princess Yongxian's face was as beautiful as a peach blossom.
Qiao Qingshu secretly marveled at the princess's audacity, daring to act in the open like this.
She bowed to Princess Yongxian, who waved her hand and offered her a seat.
Because she was pregnant, Qiao Qingshu didn't dare to smell the fragrance for long and just sat there with her nose covered by a handkerchief.
