After Chenchen's birthday, he moved out.
Xia Ruqing looked at the empty room in the side hall and felt sad for several days.
Until mid-November.
News came from the Hou Mansion that Lady Hou had given birth to another healthy young son.
Only then did Xia Ruqing become happy again.
"That's great!"
Whether it's a boy or a girl, as long as they are safe and sound, it's all good.
However, for them in ancient times, having many children was indeed a blessing.
Having many sons gave women a voice.
If you gave birth to sons, no one would say anything about not taking concubines.
But if you couldn't bear children!
You could just wait for your husband to take 'the unfilial have three, having no descendants is the greatest' as a reason to bring in concubines one after another.
If luck was even worse, with no family support or strength to back you up.
You might even be suppressed by favored concubines, being trampled underfoot by them.
