In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

Chapter 1202 Will our daughter suffer the same fate?

After listening to Lu Yuanyi's words, Yang Qianxun smiled and instructed him, "You stay here and watch over Ayao. I'll arrange for someone to go to the palace to report the good news to His Majesty, and also to report the good news to the Xu family and the other families."

"We still need to prepare for the baby's one-month celebration in a month. Like the last time, A Yao has six girls and one boy this time, but this time the fathers of the children are more numerous. The aristocratic families of Fengdu will probably be shocked, and the court will likely be quite lively again."

"Indeed, the matters in the court are being discussed by the lord and Jing Shu, while I'll take care of things for my wife. Thank you for your hard work," Lu Yuanyi said with a smile.

Yang Qianxun smiled and nodded, then left the room.

As Lu Yuanyi watched Yang Qianxun leave, he thought to himself that it was good that he wasn't the master. No one could do these things in the master's name. He thought that in the wife's backyard, any title was fine except for the master. It was comfortable, easy, and carefree, and he didn't have to worry about anything.

I can spend more time with my wife, otherwise tonight she'd be accompanied by her lord and His Highness, and I'd probably have a lot to arrange. Being her lord's husband isn't easy...

The people in the courtyard hadn't dispersed yet. Seeing Yang Qian come out, they immediately surrounded him and asked, "My lord, is my wife alright? Is she feeling unwell?"

"Ayao is already asleep. Yuanyi is keeping watch inside. If you want to see Ayao, change into clean clothes and go see her."

"Yes, my lord."

Afterwards, Yang Qianxun and the eldest prince left the courtyard together, as they still had many things to arrange.

“Xingchen, you guys go back and rest first! Leave the children in the main courtyard for now. The mistress will probably want to see them when she wakes up. Yibai, if you have official business to attend to, go ahead and do it. The mistress will be fine with someone by her side,” Cui Yiyang said.

Everyone nodded and dispersed.

Baili Jihua and Tian Wangchen did not leave the courtyard.

"Yiyang, Wangchen and I will go in and check on the mistress. We've already taken a bath before we came," Baili Jihua said with a smile.

"Alright, you guys stay here and I'm going back to the Cui family."

"it is good!"

Baili Jihua and Tian Wangchen knocked lightly on the door, then pushed it open and went inside.

Lu Yuanyi had already cleaned up for Su Yueyao. There was still a faint smell of blood in the room. As the two of them came in, Lu Yuanyi said softly, "Jihua, go and gently open the window a little. There are calming incense sticks on the cabinet in the outer room of Wangchen. Go and light them."

"it is good."

The two did as instructed. Lu Yuanyi gently covered Su Yueyao with a blanket and, still feeling uneasy, checked her pulse again.

"Yuanyi, is my wife unharmed?"

"No, my wife is in good health. Besides, having more children is good for a woman's body and helps with detoxification. But having more children will deplete her energy and make her feel tired. She'll recover after a few days of rest."

"It's good that my wife is alright. There shouldn't be anything else for her to arrange. She can focus on resting for a couple of days," Baili Jihua said.

"I will take good care of my wife's health. I have already prepared all the necessary nourishing herbs in advance, so don't worry!" Lu Yuanyi said again, looking at their worried expressions.

Tian Wangchen sat by the bed, silently watching Su Yueyao's sleeping face.

"My wife is so strong! There was no woman in the previous Tianshui Kingdom who could bear so many children, and she could have multiple children with different fathers, every time."

“You can’t find another one like my wife in the entire Phoenix Kingdom! So we’ve all become numb to it! Wang Chen will get used to it eventually,” Lu Yuanyi said with a smile.

“Not to mention Fengluan Kingdom, even Dongli Kingdom doesn’t have such an extraordinary woman,” Baili Jihua said.

"Yuanyi, do you think our wife is so fertile? Will our daughter be just as likely to have children?"

"It's best not to ask Jihua that question a second time, and we shouldn't let outsiders think that way. Otherwise, our mansion and our children will be besieged by endless people in the future."

"There were rumors circulating outside before, and we went to great lengths to suppress them, my lord."

Baili Jihua understood the problem and sighed, "Once the news of the wife's childbirth gets out, many people will think in this direction. Otherwise, why would so many people propose marriage to your maternal clan?"

"Proposals don't necessarily have to be agreed to. I don't plan to interfere with Mu Mu's marriage. It's best to find a husband who is wholeheartedly devoted to her. Otherwise, if he's only concerned with the family's interests, how can he bring happiness to the children?"

“What Lord Lu said is right. I think so too. Although there are many men in this world, it’s better to be without a true lover than to be without one,” Tian Wangchen replied.

“You still have options, but my Yuanyuan will likely have too many things beyond her control in the future. When she becomes the Empress of Dongli and consolidates her power, the fastest way will be through marriage with a powerful family in Dongli,” Baili Jihua said in a low voice.

Lu Yuanyi and Tian Wangchen were at a loss for words to comfort him. As an empress, it was indeed difficult to say what would happen. The court and the harem were closely intertwined and could not be treated casually.

"Jihua, don't overthink it. The mistress knows what she's doing. There are still decades before Yuanyuan grows up. We will pave the way for her so that she won't be controlled by others."

Baili Jihua nodded upon hearing Lu Yuanyi's comforting voice.

The three of them sat quietly to the side, watching over Su Yueyao.

Su Yueyao slept straight through until 9 PM. The moment she moved, the three people guarding the room immediately noticed.

"My lady... is she awake?"

"My lady, please have some warm water first."

"Is my wife hungry? Would you like to eat?"

Su Yueyao felt the room was pitch black. Through the candlelight, she saw the three people by the bed, yawned, and prepared to get up.

"My lady, let me help you up." Lu Yuanyi sat down on the edge of the bed and helped Su Yueyao lean against him.

"Is it so late? What time is it?"

"My lady, it's just past 9 PM. You've just given birth, so it's normal for your body to be exhausted and you need to sleep longer."

"My lady, please have some warm water first. The kitchen has been keeping the food warm; I'll have someone bring it over," Baili Jihua said softly.

Su Yueyao gave a soft "hmm".

"Yuanyi, I need to use the restroom, I need to go downstairs..."

"My lady, let me carry you!" Tian Wangchen, who was standing nearby, quickly lifted the blanket and picked up Su Yueyao from Lu Yuanyi's arms, heading towards the side gate.

For a moment, Su Yueyao was confused when she was picked up... This is...

"Wang Chen, put me down, I can walk by myself..."

"It's too dark in the room. My wife has just given birth and is weak. Don't overexert yourself."

Su Yueyao: “…”

She didn't feel weak at all; on the contrary, she felt very comfortable. Here, after childbirth, it's like a detox process for women, and their skin and overall physical condition improve significantly.

Especially since she slept for so long, she has almost fully recovered.
