Chapter 1566: Birth (1)
The capital in September is no longer as hot as it was during the dog days. In the morning, before the fog had dispersed, the emperor's escort came in a majestic manner on the Imperial Street.
In the dragon chariot, Nangong Yi looked at Caiwei's big belly, his face still dark. Looking at Caiwei's smiling face, he said coldly: "You are really a worry. You are about to give birth. Can't you stay in the palace? You have to run out to make me worry. I am also confused. I was crazy to agree to bring you here! Why do I agree to everything you ask for!"
Caiwei smiled and hooked Nangong Yi's finger, saying: "Today is my grandfather's birthday. We are here in person, which shows that we value him. Moreover, I can take the opportunity to see my father and the two little brothers. I haven't seen them for many days, and I miss them very much. If I wait until I give birth and finish my confinement, I will see them. They need more than a month, and I thought about it, so I might as well take this opportunity to come and see. Don't worry, the imperial physician and the maids checked me yesterday. The children have not moved yet, and they are all well behaved. It will take at least ten days to give birth. From the palace to here, the official road is very flat. It only takes an incense stick to go back to the palace. What can go wrong? I have been stuck in the palace for these days, and I am really depressed. It's finally cool today, and it's my grandfather's birthday. You can take me out for a ride and relax. "
Caiwei has been pregnant for more than eight months and will give birth in the next few days. Although she is in good condition now, she may give birth at any time. Everything is ready in the palace. The midwife, female doctor, maid who serves the confinement, the old woman who produces milk, and the wet nurses of the little princes are all in place, waiting for Caiwei's belly.
Today is Duke Liguo's birthday. Nangong Yi originally planned to come alone, but because of the hot weather before, Caiwei had not left the palace for several months. She complained several times. It was rare that the weather was neither cold nor hot today, and it was Duke Liguo's birthday, so Caiwei insisted on coming. Nangong Yi didn't know what he was crazy about at the time. It was as if his brain was dizzy with her. He brought her out in a daze. Halfway through, he was scared and wanted to turn back immediately, but Caiwei immediately showed a pleading look. Nangong Yi couldn't bear to refuse. Although he was unwilling in his heart, he still brought her here.
Duke Liguo's Mansion is in a very good location, very close to the palace. After leaving the palace, it only takes an incense stick of time to reach the main gate of Duke Liguo's Mansion.
Nangong Yi and Caiwei came early, but the ministers in the court arrived earlier than them. It was just dawn, but there were already a lot of cars and guests in front of the gate of Liguogong Mansion.
Eunuchs had already arrived at Liguogong Mansion to report the news of the emperor and empress's arrival. Liguogong led the ministers in the court to wait at the door. Before Nangong Yi's carriage stopped, the children of Liguogong Mansion headed by Liguogong and the ministers who came to celebrate the birthday knelt down to receive him.
Caiwei sat in the dragon chariot and saw Mo Zili in the crowd through the window. She was very curious. Wasn't he in Qingluo Kingdom? Why did he come back?
But she had been bored in the palace for a long time, and she became gossipy. So, she wanted to know what Mo Zili was thinking now. Did he give up on Xiangyun? Would he compromise on marrying Chaoyue? These were none of her business, but she was curious and wanted to know!
Nangong Yi asked everyone to lie down, and helped Caiwei get off the dragon chariot. The maids who had been accompanying her came to help her and carried her to the backyard in a sedan chair.
In the backyard, the old lady, along with the women of the Duke of Liguo's mansion and the ladies who came to celebrate the birthday, paid great respects to Caiwei. Because it was in front of everyone, Caiwei couldn't refuse, so she had to accept everyone's kowtow calmly.
