Chapter 207 The Cannon Fodder Wife in the Ancient Time Traveling Novel 14
As three clear cries rang out in the delivery room, Mrs. Leng burst into tears. She had finally waited for her grandchildren to be born smoothly, without any difficult births or premature deaths. It was just a pity that her son did not witness this moment, and that the children would never see their father again.
Then the maid and midwife came out with three babies in their arms to announce the good news.
"Congratulations, Madam Hou. Congratulations, Madam Hou. Madam Hou has given birth to three boys, and all four of them are safe! But Madam Hou was seriously injured in this delivery, and she needs to take good care of herself for a few months before she can slowly recover." The midwife happily told her the good news.
She safely delivered triplets of boys. These are her achievements and her trademark. I guess more and more people will ask her to deliver their babies in the future!
"Good!" "Good!" "Good!" Old Lady Leng got the answer she wanted and shouted "good" several times.
"Congratulations, old lady. Congratulations, old lady."
"Congratulations, old lady. Congratulations, old lady, on the birth of your grandson..."
Then there were voices of congratulations from all around.
"Mammy, tell everyone in the mansion I want to give them half-yearly silver to add to the festive mood!" Old Madam Leng was extremely happy. This was the first time she laughed in the past few months since she lost her son.
"Thank you, Madam." "Thank you, Madam, for your reward!" "Thank you, Madam, for your reward!"
"Which one is the eldest? Which one is the second and which one is the third? Let me see them all." Old Madam Leng ordered the midwife!
As the midwife held the three red monkeys for her to see one by one, the old lady looked at them lovingly and loved them very much! She also asked the court doctor who was watching beside her to check the health of the three children one by one.
After the court doctor checked them one by one, he told the old lady that there was nothing wrong with the three children! It was just that the triplets were smaller and weaker than the single baby, but this was normal. Don't catch a cold during the confinement period. If you take good care of them for a few years, they will be fine.
The court doctor was also very surprised by the result. In his expectation, the children would definitely not be so healthy. But these children were healthier than he expected. He also thought that this was only because the foundation was well laid in the early pregnancy, and the mother was in good health.
The old lady was relieved. There was no shortage of food and medicine in the house, as long as the baby could be well, it would be fine. It was really the blessing of the Leng family's ancestors that made the result so good.
"That's great. My son, do you see? This is your child. Woo, woo, woo, do you see? Your wife gave birth to three children for you, three sons for you." Old Lady Leng looked up at the blue sky, tears streaming down her face, and she cried out loudly. Then she fell down softly.
“Madam…Madam…!” The nanny beside her immediately supported her.
"Madam, how are you? The court doctor should come and take a look."
The court doctor sighed. He knew this would happen. The old lady had experienced ups and downs, great joy and great sorrow several times in this short year. He originally thought that the old lady would fall seriously ill after the funeral.
I didn't expect that she managed to hold on by gritting her teeth, but her body was just holding on, and she didn't get a good rest, so her heart and lungs were injured a long time ago. After this sudden incident today, it's a blessing that she didn't have a stroke.
There was no other choice but to send the old lady back in a sedan chair, and then she was busy with acupuncture and decoction. After the old lady woke up, she went to various prefectures to announce the good news.
Then the news gradually spread in the capital. The Marquis's wife gave birth to three sons safely, and everyone sighed and lamented that fate was really playing tricks on people. If the Marquis was still alive, how happy the Marquis's wife would be, and she would be the envy of all the noble ladies in the capital. But the Marquis was gone, and although this was a happy event, it made people not happy.
I don’t know whether the Marquis’s fate is good or bad. If she is lucky, it is not right. Her husband died while she was pregnant. If she met an in-law family that is difficult to get along with, she would be a husband-killer! If she is unlucky, it is not right. Her husband went to war only three days after the marriage. In just these three short days, she got pregnant, and it was a triple-yolked egg, three sons in one birth.
But this is a good thing after all. The Marquis's mansion has successors, and the Marquis's wife has someone to rely on! If these three children are well trained, it is still unknown whether the Marquis's mansion will be glorious again.
The news that the Marquis's family had given birth to a third son also reached the palace. The emperor and Prince Jin were playing chess when they suddenly heard the news.
"Oh, I didn't expect that the Marquis' wife not only gave birth to a boy, but also gave birth to three sons in one pregnancy. It seems that the Marquis Wu'an's mansion has not yet run out of luck, and there will be a successor." The emperor raised his eyebrows and said!
"That's right. The blessing of having three sons in one pregnancy is not something that ordinary people have." Prince Jin added!
"Oh, you also think this is a blessing?"
"Isn't this a blessing? Even if the Marquis were still alive, his son would only be an Earl! If this child wanted to become a Marquis, how much merit would he have to have? But now he has inherited the title of Marquis since he was born."
"That's right. If the Marquis' wife wasn't blessed, she wouldn't have gotten pregnant three days after getting married." The emperor nodded in agreement!
When King Jin heard this, something suddenly flashed through his mind, so fast that he couldn't catch anything. He frowned and tried hard to think, but couldn't remember anything.
"Report..." At this time, the voice of an urgent messenger from eight hundred miles away came!
"Pass it on!" The emperor ordered the eunuch beside him!
"Messenger!" the eunuch shouted!
The messenger hurried into the hall and knelt down as soon as he entered.
"Reporting to the Emperor. The Emperor is overjoyed. The Third Prince won a great victory in suppressing the rebellion. He captured alive the rebel city king and 21 officials and generals under the city king, causing the entire rebel army to collapse. This is the handwriting of the Third Prince, please have a look." The messenger explained the matter clearly in a few words, and took out an express letter from his back and handed it to the Emperor!
"Really? That's great!" The emperor unfolded the letter and quickly read through its contents.
"Good, good, good! The Third Prince is indeed good and did not disappoint me. You can go down and have a rest first." The Emperor was overjoyed and read the contents of the letter carefully again. He had been fighting against the rebels for almost a year, and finally received good news today.
"Congratulations, brother!" Prince Jin was also happy!
"Congratulations! We have been fighting for a year, and San'er has lived up to everyone's expectations, and finally resolved one of my worries. Come on, let's continue playing chess. I am happy today, so you can have dinner in the palace before leaving! By the way, where were we talking just now?" The emperor laughed out loud!
"Yes, Royal Brother!" The two of them sat back at the chessboard table and continued playing chess!
"We were just talking about whether it was a blessing for the Marquis to give birth to three sons."
"It's a blessing, a rare birth of three sons. Just after hearing the news, we heard about the great victory in suppressing the rebellion. How can it not be a blessing?" The emperor really thought so!
The father of the three children died at the hands of these rebels, but they were born on the day of the great victory in suppressing the rebellion. It can be seen that some things are really unpredictable, and there is a destiny in the dark.
"My brother is right!" Prince Jin was speechless. This is just a coincidence! But since you, the emperor, have said so, can he refute it?
For some reason, what the emperor and Prince Jin said got out. Now no one said that Xia Xiaoxiao had a bad fate. Her fate was actually very good, the emperor said so!
The Marquis' Mansion also got the news. They had originally planned to hold a simple and low-key ceremony for the triplets' third-day bath and full-month banquet because they were in mourning. But after hearing His Majesty's words, they finally decided to open the door and invite guests to hold a full-month banquet!
But the third day bath should be kept low-key, after all, the old lady is in poor health, and the marquis's wife is in confinement and can't move. After all, holding a grand banquet requires a lot of mental, human and material resources, and the bodies of the two masters can't bear it.
Xia Xiaoxiao had no objection. She had never expected that the emperor would pay attention to their affairs. She had never expected that the news of the great victory in suppressing the rebellion would be reported back on this day. This was really too much of a coincidence.
Soon it was the day of the third day of the baby's birth. The Marquis's Mansion only invited a few close relatives, including the family members of the same family and clan, as well as the child's maternal grandparents!
The gathering was quite lively, with the three children being brought out like stars in the crowd. The three slightly older children cried loudly when the midwife washed their third birthday, but everyone was amused.
After the third-day bathing ceremony, Xia Xiaoxiao began to recuperate. Fortunately, the weather was not hot, and life was quite comfortable. Although it was said that the Hou Furen had been seriously injured by giving birth to her third son, she had to recuperate for three months and would need a long time to recuperate in the future!
In fact, Xia Xiaoxiao had already taken postpartum recovery pills, and her body was recovering at an astonishing speed. And with all kinds of tonic medicines and soups plus spiritual spring water, she didn't have to worry about her body not being well.
Since waking up from her faint, Old Madam Leng has been busy organizing the baby's third-day-birth banquet. After the baby's third-day-birth banquet, she is preparing for the full-moon banquet. Because this is a big banquet, she needs to carefully consider the people to invite.
Female guests were fine, but male guests still needed someone to entertain them, which was the disadvantage of not having many descendants in the family. As for the two illegitimate sons, because of their status as illegitimate children, they had no achievements and were not officials, so they were not qualified to entertain guests, but they also needed to help.
Old Madam Hou invited several relatives who were officials in the clan, her nephew from her mother's side, and Xia Xiaoxiao's father and brothers to come and help receive the male guests.
How many banquets should be arranged for the Marquis's residence? How many people should be invited? What level of banquets should be arranged? What kind of dishes should be prepared? What specifications should be used for cups, bowls, and teacups? How many things should be purchased? Because the family is still in mourning, we cannot have storytelling or singing operas, but we cannot just leave the male and female guests alone and watch. We need to think about how to entertain ourselves. …
There were things to do everywhere. Madam Hou was exhausted every day. Although she was happy to have three grandchildren, she was still vividly in her mind of the pain, despair, and sadness of losing her son half a year ago!
Now the Marquis is going to open the door again and hold a banquet during his son's mourning period, just to celebrate the birth of his grandson! She needs to happily manage the entire banquet and not show any displeasure!
She felt mixed emotions in her heart, and couldn't tell what it was like! She was happy that she had a grandson and that the Marquis's family had a successor, but she also felt guilty about her son. These emotions kept crossing and circling in her heart these days, and she couldn't avoid them or escape them.
