Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

072

One year later.

The second year of King Zhuangxiang of Qin, that is, 248 BC.The Qin army attacked Zhao, and Qin general Meng Ao captured 37 cities of Zhao and besieged Jinyang.

The coalition forces of various countries supported it desperately.The two sides have been unable to hold on, and it has been close to a whole year.

Qin Ting felt anxious and anxious about this.

At the same time, three months after giving birth, Zhao Weizhen finally finished his "maternity leave".

The nine-month-old cub was finally unloaded smoothly, and two healthy baby girls were born.

The moment he stepped into the Xianyang Palace Academy, Zhao Weizhen had only one thought in his mind——

I never thought that coming back to work would be a happy thing!

From the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty to the present, Zhao Weizhen may not be the first woman in history to participate in political affairs, but she is definitely the No. 1 prince and Taifu in history who conceived and gave birth by herself, and took four months of maternity leave.

The medical conditions in the pre-Qin period were not good, the sanitation environment was no better than that of the 21st century, and the way of postpartum recovery was completely different from modern science.

So Zhao Weizhen lay flat at home for four months, almost numb!

Not only is she looking forward to returning to the classroom to teach, but so are the students.

During Zhao Weizhen's break, the female official Ziying took over as a substitute.Although Ziying's knowledge background is very high, it is more than enough to guide elementary school students.But her lectures are still traditional Mr., far less interesting than Zhao Weizhen's lectures.

It's been a long time, the first class is the teacher's seriousness, the students listened carefully, and the atmosphere is very good.

As soon as Zhao Weizhen said that get out of class was over, several primary school students cheered and surrounded him.

"Teacher is finally back!"

"My mother specifically told me to congratulate the Tai Tuo after class."

"Is Tai Tuo in good health?"

The children twittered, enthusiastic, caring and curious, all of which were written on their faces without any concealment.

The overflowing vitality instantly wiped away the boredom that Zhao Weizhen had been holding back for several months.

The schoolchildren are all at the age of development, and they have hardly seen each other in the past few months, and their appearances have changed drastically.Especially Wang Ben, he is 13 years old this year.

The 13-year-old boys were all taller than Zhao Weizhen, and their voices began to change.

Zhao Weizhen met him once last month, and this month it was even higher.

"Master."

Wang Ben saluted respectfully: "Father said that in half a month, I will be arranged to join the army."

When his voice fell to the ground, the other schoolchildren couldn't help showing envy.

Join the army!

May I ask who here would not want to join the army and go to war to make meritorious deeds?

Zhao Weizhen nodded: "Before I rested, General Wang Jian mentioned it to me. The generals of the Wang family have reached your age, and it's time to accumulate experience."

A 13-year-old boy may not be able to fight the enemy on the battlefield, but by now, he should have graduated from elementary school.

"OK OK."

Miss Ziying brought over a handful of slips: "Let the magistrate breathe, and you guys come and get your homework first."

Hearing Ziying's speech, the other schoolchildren reluctantly left with Zhao Weizhen.

Only Ying Zheng stayed.

With Zhao Weizhen's pregnancy and childbirth, Xiao Yingzheng has officially entered the age of 11, just like a teenager.

Recently, he has grown rapidly, but his weight has not kept up. As a result, he looks a little thinner, but the vigor that a young man should have on his face has not lost at all.

Zhao Weizhen: "What?"

Ying Zheng blinked his phoenix eyes, and raised his head curiously: "Madam, do you find it hard?"

The question is naturally about production.

Zhao Weizhen nodded: "It's hard work, but compared to others, it should be considered easy."

On weekdays, Zhao Weizhen runs back and forth, eats and drinks well, and is in good physical condition.In addition, she was 23 years old when she became pregnant, which is much safer than those women who became mothers before they were eighteen.

Therefore, in the process of pregnancy and childbirth, although there are difficult times, it is generally smooth.

Ying Zheng did not agree with Zhao Weizhen's words.

She said it easily, but recalling what happened this year, the young man felt lingering fear: "Give birth is a very dangerous thing."

This is the first time since Ying Zheng grew up that someone important has gone through the pregnancy process.

When his mother gave birth to him, he naturally had no memory, and when he returned to Xianyang, Cheng Yu was already two years old.Anyone who has offspring by others can only say a word to my father, and say congratulations, and it's over.

But Madam Weizhen is different.

From the pregnancy reaction, to her swollen abdomen, to her asking for leave, Ying Zheng saw everything in her eyes.

She didn't go home until the eighth month to prepare for delivery, which shocked a lot of court wives.

Yingzheng heard that the Empress Dowager Huayang and dissatisfied people in the Qin court planned to make trouble for his wife's pregnancy, but Mrs. Weizhen worked so hard that they couldn't bring it up.

——May I ask this group of big men, who can continue to work with a stomach full of water and a small living person?

Mrs. Weizhen joked at the time that they were ignorant and did not know how social animals work.Ying Zheng didn't know what "community animal" meant, but he could see that Mrs. Weizhen really didn't think there was any problem with it.

The only person around Ying Zheng who is not surprised is his mother.

Although my mother is the daughter of a wealthy businessman, she is a commoner after all.She said to Ying Zheng, which mother of a commoner family didn't work until she gave birth?It was the same when she conceived Ying Zheng in Handan. When he was born, it was a great advantage to have a servant to help take care of him.

Not every woman has the conditions to recuperate when she gives birth.

Even though Mrs. Wei Zhen had someone to take care of her, Ying Zheng still felt that she had a very difficult time.

He has seen his wife's morning sickness and retching, seen his wife's mobility difficulties, and heard from his mother that the day of delivery was quite thrilling.

The 11-year-old Xiao Yingzheng is deeply aware that being a parent and giving birth is a very, very serious matter.

"Mother said that twins are rare." Ying Zheng whispered.

Ying Zheng still remembered how happy his mother was when she came back.When Mrs. Weizhen presented the blueprints, she had no reaction, and when she ran the school and gave lectures, she also responded mediocrely. She was awarded the sword of commandment and became a grand tutor, and my mother was happy for her.On the contrary, two daughters were born at one time, and in the eyes of my mother, they are heavenly daughters descending to earth, which is a more remarkable achievement than being appointed an official and a noble.

Zhao Weizhen understood what Ying Zheng meant.

In this era, the population is scarce, and the matter of childbearing is of great importance to the family and the country.

It is a very remarkable thing that women are good at giving birth.

Give birth to two at once?The one who gave birth to the two or the Taifu?

That's terrible, Zhao Weizhen can imagine that in a few years the folks would probably set up temples and burn incense for her to pray for a child.

She suddenly felt amused: "It's not uncommon. But for others, it is indeed a happy event."

But Ying Zheng was still very serious: "Is it possible not to have children in the future?"

Zhao Weizhen: "..."

How should I put it, it still feels a little bit like after the big cub accepted the second child, he doesn't want to have any more siblings.

"It doesn't matter what I say." Zhao Weizhen couldn't help but said.

"Mr. Buwei must also think that his wife is more important." Ying Zheng said seriously.

"Uh... Actually, he doesn't really count what he said." Zhao Weizhen was very ashamed.

However, she herself did not intend to continue to give birth.

One heir is enough, Zhao Weizhen is lucky to have two at once.

Because they are twins, the delivery process was a bit more difficult, but fortunately there were no thrills.

But this still frightened Lu Buwei.

He is rich and can solve all external problems: he found experienced waiters, wet nurses and midwives early on, and even found a female doctor with experience in obstetrics and gynecology from nowhere. People invited to Xianyang.

Lu Buwei also asked his father-in-law Zhao Liang to personally supervise his subordinates to take care of Zhao Weizhen and his two newborn daughters.

In this regard, the dear father and the cheap husband are conscientious, and they can also be role models in modern society.

It's just that having money can't replace Zhao Weizhen's birth.

Whether it is out of interests or feelings, in Lu Buwei's eyes, heirs are important, but Zhao Weizhen is more important.

After the delivery, the mother and daughter were safe, and Lu Buwei also breathed a sigh of relief.

The first thing he said when he entered the door was to Zhao Weizhen: "No more."

In retrospect, Lu Buwei's mentality is probably the same as that of Xiao Yingzheng.

It's a bit funny, but Zhao Weizhen also knows that they say that because they really care about themselves.

Zhao Weizhen felt warm in his heart: "Thank you, Prince, for your concern."

Ying Zheng frowned, wanting to say something more.

But after careful consideration, there was nothing he, an 11-year-old boy, could tell.

Xiao Yingzheng took a quick lap, and finally fell on the key point.

"When can I go and see Deyin and Wenyin?"

When the words fell to the ground, Ying Zheng always had a restrained expression on his face, rarely showing some direct curiosity and hope.

Deyin and Wenyin are the daughters' boudoir names.

It wasn't until the two wrinkled little monkeys had their own names that Zhao Weizhen truly realized that the two little babies had a close blood connection with her.

God, she is already a mother!

"Wait a few more months, after the two of them can see the wind."

Zhao Weizhen smiled and promised: "I will bring them here to meet the prince."

When she said this, the other schoolchildren who pricked up their ears when Xiang Ziying received the homework couldn't hold back.

The lively boys came galloping again.

"Teacher, I want to see you too!"

"You can't just see the prince, it's too partial, I want to see you too!"

"I can rest after joining the army. I can come back when I have time!"

"Teacher, my brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi have been thinking about it all the time!"

The rush of words surrounded Zhao Weizhen again.

Zhao Weizhen: "..."

This is not giving birth to two daughters, this is giving birth to two exhibits!

After finally comforting the schoolchildren one by one, he watched them go home.The female official Yingcai walked over with a smile: "Congratulations, Tai Tuo."

Zhao Weizhen: "I have troubled you these days."

Ziying shook his head: "I only teach according to the content of the courses prepared by the Taifu, and it is not troublesome at all. But Taifu, after taking such a long break, there must be an important reason to return to the court."

The implication is that even though the Empress Dowager Huayang did not make trouble when she was pregnant, at this time, she still has an excuse to make trouble for Zhao Weizhen.

But Zhao Weizhen just hooked the corner of his mouth.

"The beginning is coming soon."

She said firmly: "General Meng Ao will come back with the news of taking down Jinyang."
