Chapter 802: Making Yi Huiqing Happy
"She looks like you, Rui."Li Rui smiled when she heard her mother\'s words. At the same time, she looked at her daughter more carefully.
Actually, her daughter had some features of Xi Ying as well.
Remembering her husband, she raised her head and looked at him. When she saw him looking at the little bundle in her arms with guilt-filled eyes, Li Rui didn\'t know what she should say or do.
She sighed helplessly.
She was shocked and slightly angry when she came to know that Xi Ying didn\'t even know whether they had a boy or a girl.
He didn\'t even hold the child and had been sitting near her since she birthed their daughter.
However, now looking at him like this, she wondered if she could actually blame him.
She would be lying if she said that a part of her heart didn\'t shake when the midwife who had come with the child told her whatever happened.
Xi Ying had been outside the room as the midwife helped Li Rui in feeding the child.
General Li who was standing beside his wife and looking at his granddaughter tenderly suddenly looked at his daughter\'s face. When he found her looking at Xi Ying, he suddenly said to his wife
"Yi Jie, we should go and look at Xi Ling. Rui is exhausted and needs some rest. Let\'s go to the child and see if he had breakfast."
Yi Jie nodded her head understanding the meaning behind her husband\'s words. Not only her husband but even she could feel that there was something off between her daughter and Xi Ying.
Xi Ying loved her daughter very much and she could that it was her daughter who seemed to be upset with the young prime minister.
Though Yi Jie had wanted to tell her daughter not to be so hard but remembering the past she shut her mouth and decided not to interfere.
General Li left the room with Yi Jie a few moments later.
Xi Ying stood still by the side of the bed. His heart was filled with nervousness.
It had been a long since Li Rui said anything to him.
Something like this had not happened before so it left him slightly at lack of what to do. Just when he was about to apologize, he heard his wife\'s soft voice.
"Come and hold her. She should recognize her father."
Instantly, Xi Ying was beside his wife.
He had held Xi Ling in his arms when the latter was just born so he knew how to hold a child.
However, this was a daughter.
The fact made him slightly nervous and he held the child more carefully.
The big black eyes like those of grapes blinked at him. Xi Ying\'s mouth parted slightly when he noticed how his daughter\'s eyes were so like that of his wife.
"Isn\'t our daughter beautiful?"
Li Rui asked in a whisper. A tender smile played on her lips.
"Yes"
Xi Ying\'s response came back in a whisper as well.
As he looked at the child, his heart was filled with more guilt and he whispered
"Father is sorry, Jia."
How could he not even glance at his daughter when she had been crying so loudly?
Xi Ying knew inside his heart that his children could never compare to the love he had for his wife but he never wanted to walk on the path that General Li had taken.
A path his father had taken.
He wanted to love his children and protect them just as much as he wanted to do the same for his wife.
"She forgives you. Our Jia has a big heart. Jia is a good name. Xi Jia hmm?"
Li Rui whispered and Xi Ying raised his head to look at her. Seeing the gentle smile on her lips, he felt that his word was complete.
"Thank you, Rui."
And then he leaned down to kiss her very gently.

Xi Ying took leave from the Imperial Palace for two days.
When Zhao Zhang Wei was reading the letter sent by him, he was inside Yi Huiqing\'s chambers.
His lips twitched as he read it. The letter seemed to be written by the young prime minister himself and he didn\'t know why, he could feel the joy leaking out of his every single word.
Zhao Zhang Wei sighed and raised his head to look at his wife who was silently reading a book.
"Lady Li has birthed a girl."
Yi Huiqing was surprised when she heard this. A smile instantly graced her lips. She was happy for her sister.
Soon her smile couldn\'t help but become weak.
Because she couldn\'t help but remember her own children.
Were they boys or girls …or one was a boy and the other was a girl?
No one could answer her question.
Zhao Zhang Wei seemed to guess what she was thinking and his eyes dimmed. He opened his mouth to say something but in the end, couldn\'t let out a single word.
He wanted to tell her that they could have another child. He would protect her and the child well.
However, he was afraid that she might not be ready or that she might think of him as a person who was trying to take advantage of the opportunity.
Suddenly, an idea came to his mind and he raised his head to say
"You can call Zhao Bo Jin here sometimes. The child is lively."
Yi Huiqing came out of her trance and looked at him for a few moments. Then she only nodded her head and continued to read her book.
Zhao Zhang Wei couldn\'t bear to see her like this.
Later when they had lunch, he sent a servant to bring Zhao Bo Jin.
Yi Huiqing was surprised to see the child when she entered the dining room and glanced at Zhao Zhang Wei.
The latter didn\'t look at her intentionally.
Yi Huiqing also wanted to behave calmly. She didn\'t want to look as if she was moved by his effort.
However, when she saw how Zhao Bo Jin was unable to eat on his own, she had no choice but to make the child eat with her own hands.
As Zhao Zhang Wei had said, Yi Huiqing realized that the child was indeed very lively.
On the other hand, Zhao Zhang Wei who was reading the documents after some time, smiled when he saw his wife finally laughing while playing with Zhao Bo Jin.
If it made her this happy, they will have many children.
He just needed her to say \'yes\' once.
