Chapter 67: Song Yitao Gives Birth

Days passed by like this, and half a year later, on the day when Song Yitao was due to give birth, the maidservants inside Qianyin Courtyard were busy going in and out. The sight of some blood in the basins shocked Xiaoqi, who kept asking the physician about the situation.
Even the side concubine came to Quan Yin Ge to have a look.
At this moment, there was a burst of pig-like screams in Quan Yin Ge.
"Ah ah ah ah!!!"
"What the f***! Why does it hurt so much!"
"Please, please take me to the hospital, I want an epidural! I'm dying!!"
Song Yitao shouted while giving birth, and the midwife beside her patiently comforted her, teaching her how to exert herself.
Little Qiyeye walked around the door over and over again, his brows tightly furrowed, his heart burning like fire, wishing he could help her give birth.
"Mother, will Tao Tao be okay? She sounds like she's in pain."
"Don't worry, women have to go through this when giving birth! Let's be patient and wait."
From the high sun to the midnight hour, and finally to the dawn, a clear and crisp baby's cry could be heard in the room.
Qi Yutao sat on the porch, looking at the emerging sun on the horizon. In an instant, he turned his head and stared at the door, his eyes turning red. In this moment, he had become a father.
Little Seven quickly ran to Song Yitaoh's side and personally wiped away her sweat.
"Yitaoh, you've given birth to our little world's son!"
Seeing Song Yitaoh's weak appearance, he sat by her side and gently stroked her forehead. "You've worked hard, my lady."
“给我看看我的孩子。”宋忆桃轻轻说道。
稳婆清理完孩子，仔细包上锦被，莲翘小心翼翼地给抱过来，把小世子放在宋忆桃床头边，孩子长得胖乎乎的，十分可爱。
Song Yitao touched the baby's tender and lovely face and smiled happily: "So adorable! I didn't expect to become a mother at such a young age."
She then withdrew her smile: "Huh? Why does he look more like you than me? They say boys always resemble their mothers, don't they?"
Qi Yutao proudly taunted himself for being "strong".
"Damn, are your genes that powerful? None of it has been passed down to my flourishing beauty!" Song Yitao half sat up, extending her neck to say.
"It's alright, we can have another daughter in the future, and she will look just like you," Little Qiye touched Song Yitao's face, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"I'm definitely not having another child, it's like sacrificing my life..."
"Quick, let me see!" The side queen had been waiting in the corridor until late at night, but couldn't hold on any longer and went back to her own yard to rest. She had only slept for less than an hour when she heard the servants report that the child had been born. She hurriedly came over to see the baby.
"Oh, how wonderful! It's a little son of a noble household! Fair and tender, just like Yu Tao when he was born! Now the fifth son's household has a daughter, while the sixth son still has no heirs, but the seventh son won the lottery! He gave birth to a grandson for me!"
"Someone, I want to reward my good daughter-in-law!" Queen Dowager said with a smile on her face.
......
After half a month of rest, Song Yitao finally felt less uncomfortable in her body, sitting on the bed and looking at the scenery outside the window. At this moment, the maidservants came to report that Lady Wu was here to see her, and she even brought her daughter to show her!
As soon as I walked into the room, I noticed that the window in Song Yitaos's room was open, so I hurriedly closed it for her, muttering to myself: "How can a postpartum woman be exposed to cold wind? It will leave behind hidden health problems!"
She walked over with a towel and saw Song Yitao drinking tea. She tested the temperature of her cup with her hand and said, "Oh, the water is cold. I'll go make another cup!"
Song Yitao felt warm in her heart and asked with a smile, "It has been several months since we last met. How did you become so considerate? I can't believe you were once the person who wanted to kill me. Being a mother really makes a difference!"
Mrs. Wu sat on the edge of her bed, covering her face with a handkerchief, and glanced at Song Yitao somewhat embarrassedly. "Ah, let's not talk about the past anymore. Now Mr. Wu treats me well, and both of us are mothers. Our mindset is different."
"Hey, where's Wuye?" Song Yitao asked.
"He's being pestered by Qi Di asking for advice," Mrs. Wu said, pointing to a distance.
Song Yitao looked ahead, and the Seventh Young Master and Wuye were chatting about something, gesturing with their hands.
"Oh, is it like this to hold?"
"Yes, you have to support their head, this child's neck is still tender and not fully developed."
"Got it. By the way, Wuguo, how do you wrap the baby? I've tried several times but I can't figure it out. Can you show me?"
"Alright, take a look at what I'm wrapping."
The two of them were engrossed in their discussion when suddenly a child next to them started crying. Panicked, Xiaoqiye exclaimed, "Oh no! Crying! What should we do, Wuguo?"
"Hugging and coaxing!" "Let me see, he's probably hungry!" "Oops, that's not right, maybe he needs to pee!!"
"Is it hunger or a need to pee??"
Two old men were busy researching how to be good fathers. The two women by the bed showed the same gentle smiles. Although they were still young, they were responsible fathers.
After a few more idle chats, Lady Wu left with the gifts for the baby and went back with Lord Wu.
......
"Tao Tao, our baby's full-month banquet is coming up in two weeks. Have you thought about how to celebrate it?"
"I don't know many people here, so it's better to invite a few familiar ones to celebrate." Song Yitao doesn't like the hypocrisy of some noble families. Instead of going all out and pretending to be happy all day for people she doesn't know, it's better to have a few good friends to have a hearty drink.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Xiaoyiye gently kissed Song Yitao on the forehead.
Half a month later, Song Yitao officially completed the postpartum period. The baby, chubby and fair, wore a tiger-shaped hat for the full moon celebration. Whenever he saw someone, he would smile, extremely adorable. The banquet was also arranged according to Song Yitao's wishes, inviting only a few close friends to gather in the Lion Garden.
"Oh, the baby is so fair and tender. You can tell that she takes after you more." Mei Gongyixue gently touched the baby's cheek with her index finger and enviedly said to Song Yitao.
"Nonsense! Look at the eyebrows and eyes. How can it not resemble Qi Ye? It's just that there's more resemblance to Qi Ye." Li Ruyu came closer and also couldn't let go of the baby.
"Where did the baby get eyebrows? Look at the nose, it's exactly the same as Taotao. I think you're just being foolish from handling tasks." Mei Gongyi retaliated without showing weakness.
Two people were arguing back and forth, their faces turning red. Song Yitao stood on the side, watching, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"What's so funny? Why are you laughing so happily?" Xiao Qiyue asked.
"Look, aren't these two people a perfect match?" Song Yitao nestled in the arms of Xiaoyiye and looked at the two people with a sweet expression.
