Chapter 189 Nanny Wang’s Concerns
Originally Xu Keke planned to breastfeed the baby herself, but Nanny Wang said.
"Princess, children of the royal family have always been fed by wet nurses.
You have just given birth and your body is still weak. It is too tiring to breastfeed by yourself.
Let the nurse take care of you first; it's most important for you to recover your health."
Xu Ke nodded and said that as long as the child was used to the food, it was fine.
"Well, that's it for now."
At this time, the child opened his eyes and waved his hands in the air.
Xu Keke teased the child.
"Baby, look, I'm your mother!"
The child stared at her for a while, yawned slightly, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
It’s good to have more people serving in the house.
Not only can she breastfeed the baby herself without permission, she also doesn't have to worry about changing diapers or putting the baby to sleep.
As a result, at night, Xu Ke's milk supply became swollen and her breasts felt uncomfortable.
She tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. When she asked Dingdang, she found out that the child was asleep.
Chu Musheng held her in his arms and looked at her with sparkling eyes.
"My beloved, how about I help you relieve this?"
Xu Keke's face turned red instantly, and she glared at Chu Musheng coquettishly.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"
Chu Musheng smiled lightly, leaned close to her ear and whispered:
"My beloved, I feel sorry for you."
Xu Ke was so embarrassed that she buried her head in Chu Musheng's chest.
Seeing her like this, Chu Musheng stopped teasing her and just patted her back gently.
"My dear, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Chu Musheng asked.
Xu Ke rubbed his chest without saying a word.
Chu Musheng frowned and thought for a moment.
"Then I'll apply a hot towel to you, maybe it will make you feel better."
As he said this, he stood up and told his servants to prepare hot towels.
After all the trouble, Xu Ke was finally cleaned by him.
But my chest still felt swollen and uncomfortable.
Chu Musheng looked deep in his eyes, and without saying a word, he leaned over to help her relieve the pain.
Xu Ke closed her eyes shyly.
After a while, she reached out and touched the prince's heirloom.
The two of them then discovered that breast milk has other uses besides feeding babies...
The next day, when Nanny Wang heard that the prince and princess had ordered hot water last night, she was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.
First, he went to find Manager Yao and took him to a deserted place to talk.
"Butler Yao, you are the eunuch who has always been by the prince's side, so you must go and tell the prince about this.
The princess has just given birth to a baby boy, and the prince may not be able to control himself.
During the period of confinement after childbirth, a woman cannot have sex with her husband.
This matter is of great importance. You should go and talk to the prince about it right away.
Let the prince move back to his own palace and don't harm the princess's health."
Manager Yao was also shocked when he heard this.
Although he was an old eunuch, he also knew the seriousness of having sex during the confinement period.
He quickly agreed to Nanny Wang's request.
"Don't worry, Ma'am. We will go and persuade the prince right away."
After saying that, Manager Yao hurried towards the prince's study.
When he saw Chu Musheng, Manager Yao first bowed and then spoke cautiously.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to tell you."
Chu Musheng raised his eyebrows.
"What's the matter?"
Manager Yao said with a stiff upper lip:
"My Lord, I heard about what happened between you and the princess last night.
The princess is still in confinement, so she must not have sex. It will hurt her body and it would be bad if she develops a chronic illness.
I, the old servant, would like to ask Your Majesty to move back to your own palace and live there for a while.
You can reunite with the princess after she's finished her confinement."
Chu Musheng's ears turned red instantly. He coughed lightly and said with a stern face.
"I know my limits, so there's no need for you to interfere!"
Manager Yao fell to his knees with a thud.
"Your Highness, I am doing this for your and the princess's sake. If this gets out, it will be bad for the princess's reputation."
Chu Musheng was silent for a moment, thinking that Manager Yao also had good intentions.
"Manager Yao, you misunderstood. This king..."
Unable to explain further, Chu Musheng changed the subject.
"Don't worry about the king's affairs."
Manager Yao returned empty-handed and went to Nanny Wang to complain.
Nanny Wang had no choice but to start with the princess. She took advantage of the prince's absence to approach Xu Keke and talk to him.
"Princess, you just gave birth and are still weak.
You must not engage in sexual activities during the confinement period. It will damage your foundation and you will suffer in the future.
This old servant is also doing this for your own good, so please persuade the prince."
Xu Ke's face flushed instantly when he heard this, and he scolded:
"Mammy, what are you talking about?"
Nanny Wang looked anxious.
"Princess, what I say is from the bottom of my heart. This concerns your future health, so you can't take it lightly."
Xu Keke held the child and rocked him gently, saying with a smile.
"Mammy, you're overthinking it. Last night, my breasts were swollen and my clothes were wet. The prince had hot water brought to wash them. Both I and the prince love cleanliness."
Nanny Wang felt a little relieved. Fortunately, the prince didn't do anything wrong.
However, the confinement period will last at least more than a month, and the prince lives with the princess every night, which is still very worrying!
They are so young, what if they can't control themselves?
Nanny Wang hurriedly tried to persuade her again.
"Princess, please persuade the prince to move back to his palace. He is the regent of the court, and it is not good for him to stay in the confinement room with you."
Xu Ke thought about it and felt that it made sense.
During this period, women cannot live in the same room with their husbands when they are menstruating, let alone when she is in confinement.
"Mammy, I understand. I will have the prince move back to his bedroom soon."
After Nanny Wang left, Chu Musheng came to see Xu Keke and the child again.
Xu Keke thought of Nanny Wang's words and said after a moment of hesitation.
"Your Highness, I'm not fully recovered yet. I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to be patient for a while longer. Please return to your bedroom tonight!"
Chu Musheng was stunned for a moment, then he understood and smiled.
"My beloved, I will not leave. I am worried about you and the child.
You forgot that I promised you yesterday that I would stay with you every night."
Xu Ke looked embarrassed.
"Your Highness, this is against the rules. I don't want others to gossip about me."
Chu Musheng held her hand.
Yesterday the princess said that she died in her dream and would never come back to her.
When Chu Musheng heard this, he was even sadder than her.
So he had to stay with Xu Keke to prevent any accidents from happening.
"I don't care about those rules and gossips. My beloved concubine, please don't try to persuade me. I have made up my mind."
Xu Ke was happy in her heart, but her face still looked a little embarrassed.
"Your Highness, I am deeply grateful for your kindness. However, I am afraid that this will damage your reputation. I really don't know what to do."
Chu Musheng gently stroked Xu Keke's cheek.
"Don't worry about what others think. I just want to protect you and let you recover in peace."
Xu Ke was moved and snuggled in Chu Musheng's arms.
"Your Majesty, I am blessed to have you treat me this way. I have cultivated for several lifetimes."
After that, Chu Musheng still lived with Xu Ke in the princess's bedroom in Jinyun Palace, taking good care of her and the child.
