Chapter 272 Guidance 12
Qiao Qingshu smiled and stepped forward to bow.
"I hope Mr. Ye is well."
Ye Qingqiu laughed loudly.
"Yes, yes, yes! How is it, Madam?"
Seeing that Qiao Qingshu's belly was protruding and she looked pregnant again, he was overjoyed.
"Oh my, how long did it take to give birth? I really want to have a drink at your wedding. I missed your wedding banquet, but I must come to your baby's one-month celebration."
Qiao Qingshu smiled.
"Of course, we must ask the master for help."
She turned to Xiao Zhijie and said...
"My lord, brew a pot of the fine tea that was sent from the palace the other day."
Xiao Zhijie smiled and went out, leaving only Qiao Qingshu and Ye Qingqiu inside.
Ye Qingqiu said with a smile,
"Madam must have something to say to me."
Qiao Qingshu smiled knowingly.
“Sir, you are a wise man, so I will not beat around the bush. I just want to ask you for a divination.”
Ye Qingqiu smiled and said,
"I suppose what you're asking is whether we should leave here."
Ye Qingqiu casually voiced what was on her mind, and Qiao Qingshu looked around warily before speaking.
"Sir, you are wise, but the road ahead is uncertain. I hope you can offer some guidance."
Ye Qingqiu stroked his beard and said calmly,
“Madam, you are a wise woman, so I will speak frankly with you. When I first met you, I knew you were destined to be a phoenix, a destiny that meant you would bear a great mission. But I also saw weariness and hatred in your eyes, which suggests you have had many experiences. However, you must know that some things are predestined and cannot be changed by your own will.”
Qiao Qingshu frowned slightly.
"I'm also worried about the safety of those around me..."
Ye Qingqiu gave a faint smile and said,
"Although the current emperor is ruthless and cunning, he is not a long-lived man. His days are numbered, and the country still needs a capable successor."
Qiao Qingshu suddenly looked up at Mr. Ye, only to see that Mr. Ye had already gotten up and walked towards the door.
Xiao Zhijie had just brought in freshly brewed tea when he saw Mr. Ye about to leave, and quickly tried to persuade him to stay.
"Sir, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Please have some tea."
Ye Qingqiu didn't stop walking, but turned his head and stared at Qiao Qingshu for a long time.
"If you want to protect those around you, Madam, don't run away. Face the difficulties head-on, and things will naturally take a turn for the better!"
After saying that, he disappeared through the doorway.
Xiao Zhijie turned to look at Qiao Qingshu, puzzled. He didn't understand what Ye Qingqiu meant and wanted to ask Qiao Qingshu.
But he saw that Qiao Qingshu had already turned and walked towards the inner room, so he couldn't help but go up and ask her.
"Madam, are you alright?"
Qiao Qingshu said calmly,
"Okay, I want to take a nap."
In her dream, Qiao Qingshu saw her past life self, the mistress of the harem, second only to the emperor and above all others.
With her wisdom and ability, she managed the harem in an orderly manner. Even when Xiao Chengyan neglected state affairs, she took over many matters of the previous dynasty, reviewed memorials, and showed compassion for the people.
She was a devoted and responsible queen of Nanzhao. If it weren't for her attentiveness in everything she did, the Nanzhao Kingdom would not have been so prosperous.
A surge of intense pride welled up within her. Personal feelings were a trivial matter; the well-being of the common people was the most important thing.
If in this life I still have the ability to benefit the people, or even do better than in my previous life, then what's wrong with that?
She will surely be able to make up for many regrets from her previous life and govern the Nanzhao Kingdom to make it even more prosperous and thriving.
"Forehead..."
She was suddenly awakened by pain; she felt a hot, tingling pain in her lower abdomen and sensed that she was about to give birth.
She hurriedly called for help, and the late autumn and summer solstice guards outside immediately rushed in. Upon noticing that Qiao Qingshu had bled, they immediately called for help.
Xiao Zhijie, who was drinking tea in the outer room, rushed in upon hearing this and stood guard by his wife's side.
The doctor arrived quickly and was still preparing the delivery equipment when the baby was born.
This child was born with absolutely no effort.
Qiao Qingshu gave birth to the child without even making a sound.
It's a boy.
The good news spread throughout the Xiao family almost instantly, and Old Madam Xiao was even helped to come and visit.
The entire household was overjoyed and warmly welcomed the little life.
The news reached the palace instantly, and the emperor was overjoyed, immediately ordering Li Pu to send countless rewards.
Qiao Qingshu had a very comfortable postpartum period. All the care and attention she had never experienced in her previous life was made up for and fulfilled in this life.
Qiao Anlan and Qiu Rui sent countless chickens, ducks, fish, meat, and nourishing foods from their own estate, sending a batch almost every two or three days.
The Xiao family also valued it highly, with people coming to visit every day to keep them company or chat, and each time they would bring generous gifts.
Even Bai Chanzi and Qiao Jishen, upon learning of this, immediately returned from Jiangnan and mingled with the crowd of people from the Bai family who came to visit, seeing Qiao Qingshu several times.
When the matriarch of the Bai family learned that her granddaughter had given birth, she held a grand banquet at the Bai family home to celebrate.
For a time, Qiao Qingshu's name became very well-known in the capital. Everyone knew that she was the mistress of the Xiao family, enjoying immense prestige and being the most beloved woman in the world.
Qiao Qingshu lived a peaceful and happy life during this time, with Xiao Zhijie staying by her side almost every night.
If the child started to cry, Xiao Zhijie would crawl faster than the wet nurse, holding the little one and coaxing him back and forth.
She would also whisper in her son's ear,
"My good son, my good son, keep your voice down, don't disturb your mother's rest, your mother works very hard."
Qiao Qingshu never had to get up; she simply turned to look at the scene, a smile playing on her lips.
This kind of life is really good; it's a peace and abundance she never had in her previous life.
In her past life, she was on the verge of collapse due to a miscarriage during pregnancy, and even contemplated suicide in her hysteria.
Therefore, after she became pregnant, she was actually a little uneasy deep down, but seeing the scene before her eyes today, she knew that it was all worth it.
After coaxing the child back to sleep, Xiao Zhijie tiptoed onto the bed, sleeping only a small space on the edge, afraid of disturbing Qiao Qingshu's sleep.
An arm reached out and embraced Xiao Zhijie's waist, and a soft, delicate female voice came from behind.
"My husband, thank you."
Xiao Zhijie turned around and touched her face, saying...
"Your son was crying just now, did he wake you up?"
"I've already put you to sleep, so you can sleep peacefully now."
Qiao Qingshu hugged him even tighter and said,
"Thank you, my husband."
A gentle kiss landed on my forehead.
Xiao Zhijie smiled and touched her cheek,
"No need to thank me, this is what I should do."
Holding him tightly in her arms, Qiao Qingshu felt incredibly at ease as she felt Xiao Zhijie's warm body temperature wafted through her.
She buried her head in Xiao Zhijie's arms and said,
"I think I'm very happy."
Xiao Zhijie smiled and stroked her hair, gently patting her back to lull her to sleep.
"Of course you'll be happy. Get a good night's sleep, and the days ahead will naturally become happier each day."
