Chapter 1035 The best arrangement
After their marriage, Chu Muyao would often come to see Song Ruozhen, to the point that Song Jingshen didn't need to go back to his residence first, but would go directly to the Crown Prince's residence after returning home each day.
"Sister, now that you're pregnant, you're always making all sorts of delicious food for me."
Mu Yao just stays here all day and doesn't plan to go back.
Looking at Chu Muyao's noticeably rounder face, Song Jingshen couldn't help but chuckle. Now, all she talked about in front of him was Ruozhen, as if she wished they could live together.
Chu Muyao chuckled guiltily, "Sister-in-law is a genius! The food you make is absolutely delicious!"
"Is Fourth Brother jealous?" Song Ruozhen smiled. "Why don't you go back and eat, Mu Yao? I heard that Fourth Brother specially hired a chef, and everything was prepared especially for you."
Chu Muyao turned to look at Song Jingshen, "Actually, the chef's dishes are quite delicious, but I just feel that it's really boring to be alone in the mansion while you're out busy."
I came to see my sister-in-law; it's more lively here.
"Why would I be jealous? I'm just worried that if word gets out that I'm staying here all the time, it might not look good."
Song Jingshen looked at Chu Junting. He wasn't oblivious to the situation. Mu Yao was here all the time, so he, as her brother-in-law, had no chance to spend time alone with his sister.
Chu Junting was also helpless with his younger sister. She used to hang out with Lao Wu all the time, but now she spends all her time with his wife. Lao Wu has long been forgotten by her.
Seeing her fourth brother's expression, Song Ruozhen seemed to sense something and turned to look at Chu Junting, only to see him with an innocent expression.
"We're all family, there's nothing wrong with it."
Song Jingshen: "..." You're something else!
Song Ruozhen's lips curved into an uncontrollable smile, and that very night she wrapped her arms around Chu Junting's neck and asked:
"Were the things my fourth brother said today something you all conspired to do?"
Chu Junting shook his head, "Your fourth brother and Mu Yao got married. They're newlyweds, so naturally he wants to spend more time with her."
However, this girl is still childish, and it's naturally inconvenient for her to stay in our mansion all the time. We should create more opportunities for your fourth brother to be alone with us.”
Seeing Chu Junting's righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor, Song Ruozhen saw through his ruse but didn't expose him.
"So you really are good to my brother."
"Of course, we are all one family."
Song Ruozhen: "..."
Thinking about it carefully, she spent all her time with Mu Yao, Huan'er, and Nian Chu during this period.
Because she was pregnant and couldn't run around, and staying in the mansion all day was boring, Chu Junting was worried that she would overwork herself, so he even specially hired several accountants to help with the accounting.
As a result, she had a lot of free time and spent her days getting together with her friends, which made her quite happy.
She looked at the handsome face before her, a face she could never tire of, and even after marriage, she still loved him dearly.
She took the initiative to kiss Chu Junting's lips.
"I miss you."
Chu Junting's heart warmed; how could he resist when his wife offered him a kiss?
He immediately returned the kiss, but a light kiss was not enough to quench his thirst, so he deepened the kiss.
As their breaths mingled, the temperature steadily rose.
Seeing that things were about to get out of control, Chu Junting suppressed it with sheer willpower.
He kissed Song Ruozhen's lips and said, "You go to sleep first, I'm going to take a shower."
Seeing that he was about to get up to take a cold shower again, Song Ruozhen stopped him, her bright, watery eyes gleaming with a dreamy allure, and said:
"The pregnancy is now stable. As long as you are gentle, you won't hurt the baby."
After speaking, Song Ruozhen slightly turned her gaze away, her cheeks flushed.
Chu Junting was slightly taken aback, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Really?"
Song Ruozhen nodded and took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck.
"If you feel unwell, be sure to tell me."
……
Before long, the day of Gu Huan'er's delivery arrived.
Chu Yungui felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy. Hearing Gu Huan'er's screams from inside, his heart clenched.
"Huan'er is screaming so pitifully, what's wrong with this midwife? Is she even capable of doing this?"
Chu Yungui paced back and forth outside the door, wishing he could go in and take Gu Huan'er's pain upon himself.
Upon hearing the news, Song Ruozhen rushed over, along with her maternal grandparents, uncle, and aunt.
Everyone was waiting outside, listening to the sounds inside, and everyone was very anxious.
"Huan'er's pregnancy has been difficult to begin with, so it must go smoothly!"
My aunt kept praying. Childbirth is like going through the gates of hell. Although they had been through it themselves, every childbirth was very dangerous.
Only mothers can truly understand the suffering involved.
"Don't worry, the imperial physician and midwife are inside, there shouldn't be any problems."
Song Ruozhen looked at her uncle beside her. Although he spoke calmly, the tightly clenched hands betrayed his nervousness and worry.
Hearing the shrill screams, Chu Junting thought that if giving birth to one child was so difficult, his wife was pregnant with three children, and the delivery would probably be even more difficult.
His heart was in his throat; he knew he had to be fully prepared.
Gu Huan'er's labor lasted a long time; the baby was finally born just before dark.
A loud cry came from inside the house, attracting everyone's attention and making the people who were pacing nervously breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's born! The baby's born!" the grandmother exclaimed in delight.
With red eyes, Chu Yungui rushed inside anxiously, "How is Huan'er?"
"Your Highness, you can't come in here." The old woman quickly stopped Chu Yungui.
The midwife came out happily, holding the baby. "Your Highness, mother and child are safe. However, the princess seems a little tired. Please have someone prepare some food."
Chu Yungui breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, muttering to himself, "That's great, that's really great!"
Song Ruozhen and Chu Junting exchanged a glance, and their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, were finally at ease.
"Giving birth in ancient times was indeed like passing through the gates of hell. Even with the imperial physicians watching over you, you still felt a little uneasy."
Song Ruozhen couldn't help but sigh. In modern times, there's not much to worry about when it comes to childbirth. However, she wasn't worried about Huan'er's pregnancy either, as she had already calculated that it would be safe and sound.
Even if it's a safe delivery, just hearing about the pain of childbirth makes you realize how difficult it is.
Although Chu Junting didn't hear what she said clearly, he could roughly guess her thoughts just by looking at her expression.
At this moment, his initial worries resurfaced.
"Don't be afraid, nothing will happen."
When Song Ruozhen saw Chu Junting holding her hand, he was clearly telling her not to be afraid, but his hand was ice cold, and from his expression, he was obviously more nervous than she was.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine. We will definitely have a smooth journey, just like Huan'er."
Song Ruozhen smiled slightly. She had never thought about having children before, only that the process was too painful and she didn't want to experience it.
However, now that she is pregnant, she no longer has the same thoughts as before and feels that everything is the best arrangement.
