Being the King of War's Smart Wife
Nine Months
THE PALACE OF THE KING OF War.
Li Chang Su did not go anywhere again after the incident one month ago. Her gestational age was increasing and Mu Xianzhai did not dare to act rashly.
But it was during that young pregnancy that Mu Xianzhai could not touch his wife on the bed and could only be satisfied for what she was.
The news of Li Chang Su's pregnancy had spread a few days ago and everyone was in an uproar again. Not because it's bad news, but it's double happiness.
The first happiness of course the Imperial Palace returned to peace and the second happiness was the pregnancy of the wife of the war king, Mu Xianzhai.
For the first time, Mu Xianzhai would soon become a father, overtaking Mu Yishu who had already had children. Even now three children.
"What are you thinking?" li Chang Su asked as he ate the grapes.
"My wife, I've decided, we'll only have one child." Mu Xianzhai had a childish expression.
"Why is that?" The girl frowned.
What's wrong with having a few kids? Isn't that happy? His mind.
"Look at the first brother. She's busy all day because of her three kids."
"..." - ".Li Chang Su did not agree secretly.
The first child had not been born but the man had already thought too far. However, Mu Xianzhai was indeed not too young anymore. When his son was born later and grew up, Mu Xianzhai was getting old, right?
However Li Chang Su smiled innocently and could only kiss the man's cheek. "Then we'll look at destiny" he said.
"Yes." Yeah." Mu Xianzhai also agreed on this.
Two servants Li Chang Su—Xuxu and Xuyao were outside the room and both looked at each other in embarrassment. Xuyao sighed, holding a gloved sword with a helpless expression.
As for Xuxu just shaking his head. He clearly held onto a red rose and continued to pluck out his petals while muttering.
"Male, female, male, female ..." Xuxu finally pulled out the last rose petals.
"What are you doing?" xuyao asked a little bored at the sight of Xuxu who had a foolish expression.
"I'm guessing, roughly the daughter-in-law will be a boy or a girl ...," he replied.
"Does that matter?" Xuyao looked astonished. Whether it was a man or a woman, it was the same in his eyes.
"of course. You don't know because you haven't felt how to be a woman."
"..." - ".Obviously I am a woman, thought Xuyao with three black lines on her head.
On weekdays, Xuyao sometimes dresses like a servant and carries a sword everywhere— is always considered a man because his face always displays a serious expression.
"I predicted that the princess would give birth to a little prince!" Xuxu threw out the last petal of the flower.
Suddenly the door of the room opened and a tall figure of Mu Xianzhai came out while taking an empty basket.
"Your Majesty—!" Xuxu was surprised and immediately bowed politely.
"Yes." Yeah." Mu Xianzhai nodded happily. "The two of you can return to the Poison Valley if you want to rebuild glory there" he added.
Xuxu and Xuyao were shocked. The two saw that Mu Xianzhai was not joking and allowed them to return there. However at the moment they did not want to go anywhere and were loyal to Li Chang Su.
Without Mu Xianzhai, he and Xuxu would not have lived to this day, perhaps becoming his enemies if they had cooperated with Guan Shu.
"Your Majesty wants to pick something up?" xuxu asked curiously as Mu Xianzhai carried the basket outside the room.
"Su'er wants to eat the peaches picked by this king." Mu Xianzhai did not turn his head but immediately left the two servants.
"..." - ".Pregnant women do want a lot, Xuxu and Xuyao thought no wonder.

Day after day until it changed weeks, Li Chang Su's flat stomach finally started to enlarge and the girl could no longer practice martial arts like before. He could only walk around the palace, accompanying Mu Xianzhai in the study room even just lying down when feeling tired.
Until nine months arrived, Li Chang Su was no longer allowed to leave the room and waited for the birth to arrive.
Retired emperors and stepmothers occasionally came to see the circumstances. There was also the Lict and Mu Hongzhi who were staying at the War King Palace, impatient to see the baby born into the world.
Until at midnight in the second month of winter, Li Chang Su felt his stomach ache and Mu Xianzhai instantly panicked. She called an old mother who had helped many women give birth.
Due to Mu Xianzhai's cold gaze as if it was going to eat people, the old mother was nervous and frightened at first. But the princess had arrived to give birth and the old mother did not dare to ignore her anymore.
"Hurry, prepare warm water, clean towels and cloth!" the old mother shouted with cold sweat on her back. He looked at Li Chang Su who was complaining in pain and sweating on the bed. "Daughter, take a deep breath and let out slowly. Soon the boy will be out" he said calmly.
Li Chang Su did not care about it. She was not an eighteen-year-old girl who lived and married in this age but a modern-day female warrior. Without being told, she already understood what it was like to give birth. It's very painful.
She wanted to call Mu Xianzhai and ask him to accompany her, but they said that men could not go to the delivery room or see blood. It says it will have bad luck.
Li Chang Su did not believe such a thing and this age was very ancient about the medical knowledge and beliefs of the old people of old times.
But even so, he no longer forced her.
Outside the room, Mu Xianzhai walked back and forth with a worried expression. Soon, warm water, clean towels and cloth were brought into the room by Xuxu and Xuyao. He could only wait and wait.
The news of Li Chang Su giving birth in the middle of the night went straight to the Imperial Palace.
Even in the Regent's Palace, Mu Yishu's wife immediately rushed to the War King's Palace to help. In the past, Li Chang Su had accompanied her during childbirth and now she should also be the same.
Fortunately the little one is not fussy at home and is taken care of by a nanny.
"Sister-in-law, is the baby born?" ask Yan Shi—Daughter Yi or wife Mu Yishu.
Mu Xianzhai saw him coming and shook his head. "Sister-in-law, why did you come this time? What about the first brother?"
"He'll catch up later. I want to help your wife right now," Yan Shi said a little hastily.
"Su'er inside." Mu Xianzhai was a little helpless when he heard his wife yell a few times and the child was not yet born.
Yan Shi was finally able to enter the room and help the old mother who was taking care of Li Chang Su's labor. Before long, Litt and Mu Hongzhi had also come over, sitting anxiously.
They did not rebuke Mu Xianzhai who was pacing around like someone who was worried that his wife would have an accident.
There's no word from the delivery room.
Until after quite a long time, the sound of crying babies filled the room ....
