The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 381 The hardships of being a woman

The winter night is long, but the two lovers clinging to each other in the small courtyard of Xianglin Garden always feel that the night passes too quickly.

Li Xiang hugged Jiao Xing and leaned on the bed. Through the small window, the two of them cuddled up and chatted in the dim moonlight.

The night was already dark, and Jiao Xing urged Li Xiang in a soft voice: "You have to go to the early morning shift tomorrow, so take a rest soon."

Li Xiang replied: "I can only be with you once in a month, and I don't want to waste my time sleeping."

As he spoke, his big hand slowly attached to Jiao Xing's slightly bulging belly, and whispered: "It's almost four months now, why is this child still not moving?"

Hearing this, Jiao Xing also put her hand gently on her lower abdomen and replied with a smile: "The doctor said that fetal movement will not occur until five months. You are the father of two children, and you don't know this?"

"I didn't pay attention to this before, but now I'm hoping that the child will move soon so that I can feel him more clearly." As he said that, Li Ling lay on the bed and put his ear tightly against Jiao Xing's.

After listening carefully for a while, he looked at the slightly bulging belly and said to himself: "Good boy, can you hear daddy? If you can, please move for daddy."

good?"

Jiao Xing poked Li Xiang's head with her finger, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Look at how stupid you are, he is still young, what can he hear?"

Li Xiang turned over and sat down opposite Jiao Xing, took her hand and asked, "What do you think our child should be called?"

She dreamed that she had given birth to another daughter. She held her newborn daughter in her arms and led Sister Qing and Sister Wan on the endless road filled with smoke. She was exhausted from walking with the children, and suddenly she saw

Li Xiang appeared in front of the road. She tried her best to call him, but she couldn't make a sound. She tried her best to run towards him with the children, but she couldn't catch up with him.

Pingyang was anxious and tired. He suddenly woke up from his dream. He raised his hand and touched his forehead. He was sweating all over.

Jiao Xing raised her head, held Li Xiang's handsome face with both hands, and said with tears in her smile: "Of course I believe you. What I'm afraid of is that your kindness to me will be known to others sooner or later. At that time, I'm afraid we will be forced to

It’s time to say goodbye.”

If it was a girl, the child could be kept by Jiao Xing's side. He couldn't help but come over to accompany his beloved woman all the time, so it would be good to leave their child with her.

Li Xiang blurted out without thinking: "Of course I hope it's a girl."

Li Xiang pointed to the tall bookshelf by the window and said, "Why do you have to be so modest? You have read more books than me now."

Li Xiang stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on Jiao Xing's face, hugged her tightly in his arms, and said sadly: "It's okay, this is just a dream. If someone really forces you, I will leave everything and dance with you."

Go down."

Jiao Xing lay in Li Ling's arms, tightly grasping his clothes with her bare hands, and murmured: "You know what? I'm really scared sometimes."

Pingyang glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already the third watch. She waved her hand and replied weakly: "I'm fine. I just had a nightmare that woke me up and I couldn't sleep anymore."

.”

Li Xiang lowered his eyes to look at the woman he loved in his arms, and quickly replied: "Don't be afraid, I will definitely protect you mother and son."

In the main room of the Carved Gallery Building, Pingyang finally fell asleep, but was awakened by a strange dream.

As Jiao Xing spoke, the crystal tears rolled down her thin cheeks. She sniffed, tried her best to control her emotions, and continued: "I often have the same dream. I dream about me." Standing alone on a high cliff, the people around me looked at me with vicious eyes, forcing me to jump off the abyss."

Jiao Xing smiled and replied: "You can come up with the name. I don't have much education, so I'm not good at this."

Every time Pingyang was pregnant, she couldn't sleep peacefully. Yuzhu heard this and quickly poured a cup of hot tea. After serving Pingyang to drink it, Yuzhu tucked Pingyang into a quilt and said distressedly: "If Madam doesn't fall asleep, this servant will Let’s talk to you here.”

Pingyang looked at Yuzhu, with a smile on his pale face, and murmured: "Yuzhu, I often feel that you treat me even more lovingly than your husband treats me."

Jiao Xing raised her eyes to look at Li Xiang and replied: "I just read it randomly, without any deep insights. It was just to pass the time. It's up to you, the father, to choose the name of our child."

Li Xiang naturally knew what Jiao Xing was thinking. He stretched out his arms to hold Jiao Xing in his arms, and gently comforted her: "Don't worry, if it is a son, even if it is recorded in Ping Yang's lap, I will explain it to her. This child's daily life needs to be taken care of by you, the biological mother, and you can be with the child every day."

Jiao Xing looked at Li Xiang and asked, "Do you want it to be a boy or a girl?"

Which woman would be willing to hand over the child she gave birth to after all the hard work to be raised by others, and Jiao Xing was no exception. After hearing what Li Xiang said, she suddenly fell silent.

She was no longer sleepy, so she forced herself to sit up, picked up the rattle on the desk, and called Yuzhu.

Yuzhu hurriedly ran in wearing clothes and holding a candlestick. She saw Pingyang weakly leaning on the bedside, and the hair on her forehead was wet with sweat. Yuzhu said with a face: "What's going on? But where?" Are you feeling uncomfortable? Would you like to invite Third Master over and call the doctor?"

Yuzhu hurriedly replied: "What did you say? I have been serving you since I was a child. I just know you better. How can this be compared with the affection that the third master treats you? You and the third master are husband and wife. But he is the closest person in the world."

Speaking of the child, Li Xiang couldn't help but put his hand gently on Jiao Xing's belly and replied: "Well, let's do this. If it's a boy, I'll pick the name. If it's a girl, you'll pick it."

Pingyang sighed slightly and said with a hint of sadness: "My husband and I have been married for three or four years. Logically speaking, we should already know each other very well, but for some reason, I have always looked at my husband's heart. I don’t understand, it’s like I can’t see through it.”

After hearing Pingyang's sad words, Yuzhu comforted her and said: "Although you have been married to my uncle for a long time, you have been busy giving birth to children all these years, and the fetuses are torture. Your body is weak, so naturally everything is difficult. Love to think too much, maybe you think too much about some things."

Pingyang is the only legitimate daughter of Prince Yong. She has a noble status and is deeply loved by her parents. She has been well-fed and well-fed since she was a child, and has been carefree. She has never known what it is like to be miserable. She has been innocent throughout her girlhood.

Pingyang thought about herself in the past and looked back on herself after getting married. She shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I used to hear my mother say that a daughter's family is happiest when she is under the knees of her parents. After she gets married, she is the happiest. I couldn't understand the endless suffering at the time, but now that I have only been married for four or five years, I have already truly felt the suffering of being a woman."
