"It's born! It's born..."
Soon, following Po Wen's voice that was almost out of tune with excitement, the door of the delivery room was opened from the inside, and Po Wen, who was full of joy, came out and announced the good news to everyone: "My lord, my concubine gave birth... "
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Yi couldn't wait to rush into the delivery room.
"Ah Yue!"
Although it is a very cold day now, although the cold wind has been blowing outside for nearly an hour, Xiao Yi is sweating profusely.
In just a short hour, he had never been so afraid before. He was afraid that something might happen to Ayue and Nannan, even if he faced thousands of troops, even if he was killed by Baiyue soldiers on the battlefield a few years ago. Slashed in the chest...
It wasn't until he saw Nangong Yue's bright red face that he felt relieved, and he was relieved.
Nangong Yue was sitting on the bed, with a big welcome pillow on her back, with a smile on her lips, her almond eyes were shining brightly, her complexion was very good.
She was not alone on the couch, she was still holding a big red swaddle in her arms, and her posture for holding the child was still a little stiff.
"Ah Yue," Xiao Yi walked quickly to Nangong Yue, leaned over to look at the infant baby, and boasted without thinking, "Our niece is so pretty!"
In fact, the newborn baby's face is wrinkled, and the appearance has not yet unfolded, so there is no way to see beauty or ugliness, but in Xiao Yi's eyes, how does his little daughter really look, how cute!
Hearing this, the corners of Nangong Yue's eyes twitched, and the expressions of the maids in the room were all indescribably weird. They had long known that the son was obsessed with his daughter, and they held their foreheads helplessly, but Mrs. Wen didn't know it. Corrected later: "Master Shizi, you are a young master!"
Wen Po said while trying to remember, she hadn't mentioned the gender of the child just now, why would the son think it was a girl? !
At this time, Xiao Fei also followed into the house, just in time to hear these words. On the one hand, she was a little disappointed because her little niece became a little nephew, and on the other hand, she was glad that she and her sister-in-law didn't mess around with her big brother. Clothes are done.
Xiao Yi froze for a moment, he couldn't believe his ears, he couldn't help asking again: "What did you say?!"
The concubine gave birth to a small grandson in her first child, that was a great joy, and she must be able to get a big red seal today. The more Wen Po thought about it, the happier she became, and she repeated: "Congratulations to the son, the concubine gave birth to a little son."
Xiao Yi subconsciously looked at the swaddling baby again, and sized it up carefully.
The baby's face was red, his skin was very dull, his nose was flat, his mouth was deflated...
so ugly!
Not as pretty as Ah Yue at all!
Xiao Yi sighed faintly, there was nothing he could do about it, after all, it was the child that Ah Yue worked so hard to give birth after going to hell...
He stretched out an index finger and pointed the baby's cheek, sighed softly and said: "Although you are a bit ugly, I am your father, so I don't dislike you."
As the saying goes, no matter how ugly you are, you are still your own child.
The corners of Nangong Yue's eyes twitched again, thinking that Xiao Yi kept saying that only one daughter was enough before she gave birth, so she simply said while the iron was hot: "A Yi, we will just have a daughter next time."
Although pregnancy is hard, and giving birth is even more painful, but when she saw the peaceful sleeping face of the baby in her arms, she felt that everything was worth it.
She understands what it means to forget the pain when the scar is healed. Although her body still hurts and feels uncomfortable, Nangong Yue is already looking forward to her and Xiao Yi's daughter.
But Xiao Yi showed a tangled expression, just now he had decided that a sweet-smelling daughter was enough, but this child turned out to be a stinky kid!
Of course he wanted his daughter, but it was too hard for Ah Yue to be pregnant for ten months, and giving birth was tantamount to risking her life...
He didn't want to see Ayue take such a big risk again, and he didn't want to wait helplessly in the yard like before.
"Ah Yue, one is enough." Xiao Yi said decisively.
The stinky boy is the stinky boy, anyway, he and Ah Yue are of flesh and blood, he raises this stinky boy well so that he can support the family business early, then he can spend more time with A Yue in the future.
He poked the little baby's wrinkled cheek again with his index finger, and warned: "You brat, you'd better be obedient and don't tire your mother..."
He still remembered that this brat had been tossing and turning in Ah Yue's stomach for the past month, making Ah Yue never get a good night's sleep.
He just said, how could my daughter be so naughty, she turned out to be a brat!
The little baby seemed to feel the harassment and disgust from his father, so he flattened his mouth, and when Nangong Yue was so nervous that he would cry, he pouted again, and continued to have sweet dreams.
Nangong Yue looked at every expression of the little baby fascinatedly, how funny and cute no matter how you looked.
Nangong Yue was really tired, after watching for a while, she couldn't help but yawned, the tiredness on her small face could not be concealed.
Xiao Yi wanted to take the baby and put Nangong Yue to sleep, but felt that this soft little guy was too fragile, as if he could hurt him with a single finger.
Fortunately, he didn't linger for too long, Lily had already arrived, skillfully took the red swaddle in Nangong Yue's arms, and coaxed the child as he walked.
Xiao Yi carefully helped Nan Gongyue to lie down, and said softly: "Ah Yue, take a good rest. I will stay here with you." Then, he closed her eyelids with his hands, while she He kissed tenderly on the eyelids, thought for a while, and added, "There are brats."
Nangong Yue who closed her eyes felt a little helpless, more sweet. It seems that she has to quickly choose a baby name for the little guy, otherwise she is really worried that the child's father will become addicted to calling the name "brat"...
Nangong Yue thought about it in a daze, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
At this moment, Que'er quickly came into the room and said: "Master, Miss, Concubine Wei is here."
Xiao Yi frowned, not wanting those irrelevant people to disturb Nangong Yue's rest.
Xiao Fei said casually: "I'm going to entertain Concubine Wei." The sister-in-law gave birth, and she couldn't do anything, so she could only do these small things for the sister-in-law.
After finishing speaking, Xiao Fei walked out of the house quickly, and saw Wei Shi wearing a thick rose-purple cloak walking towards this side at a leisurely pace in the silver moonlight five or six feet away, Xiao Fei went up Meet her before.
Wei said straight to the point: "Miss, the prince heard that the concubine was born, so he ordered my concubine to come over to see how the concubine is doing."
King Zhennan waited in the study for a long time and finally heard that his daughter-in-law was born, but there was no follow-up... No one came to announce whether the son was a daughter, or whether the child and the imperial concubine were healthy...
Zhennan Wang was really not at ease, so he simply asked Wei to come and have a look.
Xiao Fei is no longer the silly girl who ignored the world a few years ago. Knowing that Mrs. Wei, or the king of Zhennan, didn't want to know if the sister-in-law was okay, she said with a smile: "My sister-in-law gave birth very well and has already fallen asleep. .It's a healthy baby boy, six pounds and six taels."
Mrs. Wei also knew that the crown prince wanted a daughter and wanted to go crazy. Now that the crown prince gave birth to a boy, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Since the crown prince has fallen asleep, the concubine should hurry up and report to the crown prince." This is good news."
After blessing Xiao Fei, Mrs. Wei hurried back to the palace to announce the good news to King Zhennan.
Hearing the news, King Zhennan was also very happy, and almost wanted to go to the ancestral hall to personally announce the good news to the ancestors of the Xiao family, but in the end he still felt that it was more important to visit his grandson first.
So, after a cup of tea, Mrs. Wei returned to Bixiao Hall, but this time there was an extra King of Zhennan.
King Zhennan came in person, and Lily and the others naturally did not dare to neglect, so they invited him to a wing room next to the delivery room.
Xiao Yi was accompanying Nangong Yue in the delivery room, so when she came out to "receive guests", it was Xiao Fei and Lily who was holding the baby.
When King Zhennan saw his grandson, he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. He felt worthy of being his eldest grandson. Although the baby's eyes were closed and he couldn't see what his eyes looked like, he could tell from the contours of his nose, mouth and facial features. He looks somewhat similar to his Nizi, but not as sissy as Nizi. His grandson is obviously more handsome and masculine!
Zhennan Wang stared at his grandson with a smile. The more he looked at it, the more pleasing he was, and the more he liked it, he said to Wei with great interest: "Wei'er, the name of the Xiao family has 'fire' in it. Think about it, give this king's golden grandson a good name."
The Wei family on the side didn't dare to answer. Based on her understanding of the prince, she probably wouldn't let the prince name the young prince, but the prince was in a hurry, so she didn't dare to pour cold water on it, so she could only say mildly: "The prince , the young master has just been born, don't worry, the prince will choose slowly."
King Zhennan frowned, and said displeasedly: "What young master? He is a grandson! Pass on the words of this king, and don't let this king hear any more young masters."
Wei and the maids in the room hurriedly responded, feeling a little surprised: the prince and the prince are like enemies in the previous life, the prince doesn't like the prince at all, but the young grandson seems to have caught the prince's attention, Is this the next-generation relative
Others will give King Zhennan face, but the baby in the swaddling baby is not afraid of the king of heaven. Perhaps it was King Zhennan's loud voice that surprised him. His mouth shrunk and his brows moved, as if he was about to cry.
Lily hurriedly said: "My lord, the little grandson is probably hungry..."
Fearing that his baby Jinsun would be hungry, King Zhennan hurriedly let Baihe carry the baby down, and then left Bixiao Hall with a smile on his face.
Wei Shi returned to his yard, while Zhennan Wang returned to his study outside.
At this time, it was almost the second watch. On weekdays, King Zhennan should start preparing to take a bath and change clothes, but today he was in high spirits, and he didn't feel sleepy at all. Feng Shisun's zhezi was ordered to be sent to the capital immediately.
These things soon spread to Bixiao Hall, Xiao Yi just laughed it off.
Although it was getting late, the palace was still brightly lit. The birth of the grandson made the entire palace overjoyed. That night, King Zhennan and the eldest son respectively sent a speech to reward the whole family... By the early morning of the next day, the news was like It spread all over Luoyue City as if it had grown wings, and even the ordinary people knew that the Shi Ziye had a queen, and they were all proud of it, so that those outsiders who had just entered the city almost thought it was some kind of festive festival today. .
Around Sishi, Guan Yubai, who got the good news, also went to Bixiaotang in person.
Hearing that the official language came, Xiao Yi, who had been with Nangong Yue all night, finally left the delivery room, and Nangong Yue was secretly relieved. She was 120,000 points grateful to the child's adoptive father, and hurriedly called The servant girl helped her wipe her body and change her clothes.
Xiao Yi was lured by Baihui to the main room, and as soon as he entered the room, before Bai Hui could congratulate him, he complained half-disgustedly and half-sighed: "Xiao Bai, Ah Yue gave birth to a brat... Hey, you The adopted daughter has become a adopted son."
In one sentence, he first expressed his dissatisfaction with the stinky boy, and at the same time emphasized that even if his daughter is gone, Guan Yubai is still the child's adoptive father.
Xiao Si next to Guan Yubai had also heard the news that the palace had a grandson, a gloating flash of gloating in his eyes: He knew that God was fair, so how could everything go well for this son of Xiao!
He deserved to give birth to a debt-collecting son!
Seeing Xiao Yi's tangled expression, Guan Yubai couldn't help laughing, but Xiao Yi refused again, and coughed dryly: "Xiao Bai, don't dislike him, although boys are a bit skinny, they are not as caring as girls, but Even if it is not congenital, we can teach it well the day after tomorrow, right?"
Xiao Yi's tone alternated between distasteful and showy, and he didn't know whether he was trying to convince Guan Yubai or himself.
Guan Yubai echoed with a smile: "Okay, my adoptive father will definitely not dislike him." As he spoke, he picked up the red lacquered wooden box that was put aside, "This is a gift I prepared for him."
Xiao Yi accepted the gift unceremoniously, opened it on the spot, and saw a small bow on the black velvet cloth in the box, with the corresponding small feather arrows, at a glance, he knew it was a bow and arrow specially made for children, and...
Xiao Yi stretched out his hand to stroke the bow, it was still a new bow, probably made by Guan Yubai himself recently.
"Book of Rites" says: "When a child is born, the bow is placed on the left side of the door for men, and the bow is placed on the right side of the door for women." It means that if a boy is born in the family, hang a bow on the left side of the side room door; Hanging scarf.
With Guan Yubai's temperament, if he had a daughter yesterday, he might not have received this gift.
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, so Xiaobai must have prepared another gift.
There is Xiaobai, a foster father who is as careful as a hair, and parents like himself and Ayue...
"My brat is really lucky!" Xiao Yi made the final conclusion.
Guan Yubai thought to himself, Xiao Yi's son will definitely not walk on Xiao Yi's old path again, with himself and Xiao Yi paving the way for this child...Compared with that, the life of "that" person in Wangdu is not so good Already...
Guan Yubai took out a piece of tissue paper from his bosom, handed it to Xiao Yi, and said, "Ah Yi, this is the letter sent by Feige from Wangdu last night."
Xiao Yi raised his right eyebrow, opened the piece of tissue paper, and read it in two or three clicks. This secret letter said that the emperor was ill, and ordered Gongjun Wang Han Lingfu to supervise the court.
"The fifth prince is really not going to be successful..." Guan Yu said with a flicker of white eyes and a flat expression.
Ever since the emperor was unable to make up his mind to change the examination questions of the Enke Examination, Guan Yubai had already believed that the emperor's determination to make the fifth prince the crown prince was no more than that. With several county kings coveting by his side, the fifth prince might not be able to become the crown prince. And now the news of Han Lingfu's supervision of the court is just another verification of his premonition.
"Let them toss it." Xiao Yi shrugged, and threw the tissue paper into the brazier beside him, and the tissue paper turned into a ball of fire in no time, burning out...
Xiao Yi said nonchalantly: "Anyway, we are in the southern border, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and Dayu's life or death has nothing to do with us. This southern border... no, the southern region is vast enough for you and me to roam around!"
Guan Yu couldn't help but laugh, picked up the teacup on the side, sipped the tea lightly, and his eyes became open-minded and firm under the half-lidded eyelids.
A Yi has always understood better than he thought, unlike himself. Obviously, when the official family was destroyed, he was completely disappointed with the emperor and Dayu, how could he be disappointed without hope...
Everyone has their own choices and will eventually face the consequences that follow, including the Supreme Being!
Guan Yu Bai Xiao sat for a while, then left.
As for Xiao Yi, he went back to his house to be his "baby daddy". Nangong Yue originally hoped that after she gave birth to a child, Xiao Yi would return to her daily life, but Xiao Yi insisted on confinement with her, and stayed with her and the child every day.
During the day, Lily and a group of maids will naturally take care of the children, helping to change the excrement, urine, diapers and clothes, etc., but at night, there are only three of them left in the house, and Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue have always disliked maids sleeping in their room During the day and night, the two of them almost took care of the children by themselves.
Xiao Yi also felt distressed that Nangong Yue couldn't sleep well, and often rushed to change the diaper and wipe his butt for that brat... In a few days, he, the father, was already more proficient at changing diapers than Nangong Yue, the mother.
As the days passed, the little doll almost changed its appearance every day, its face gradually opened up, its skin was white and tender, and its beautiful peach eyes were as bright and pure as obsidian.
…
More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the Zhezi, who was invited by King Zhennan to become his grandson, finally arrived at the capital on February 20th, and presented it to the emperor's imperial case.
In just five days, the emperor had already received two letters from Southern Xinjiang. The first one was a secret letter sent by the Marquis of Pingyang five days ago.
In that secret letter, Pingyang Hou reported to the emperor that Kui Lang, who had been kidnapped by the bandits, had been killed, and that all this was planned behind the back of Nuhar, the puppet king of Baiyue; Xinjiang, I think Baiyue can be won in a few days...
The secret letter finally relieved the emperor's over-thinking heart. The heart disease still needs heart medicine. After that, the emperor's body gradually recovered, and now the dragon body has finally recovered by 70% to 80%, and he began to gradually take over the political affairs.
Now that he received this memorial from the King of Zhennan, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Huairen," the emperor put down the booklet, and sighed to Eunuch Liu with a smile, "I didn't expect that the king of Zhennan is also in a hurry. The newborn baby has not been named yet, so he is in a hurry to invite his grandson .”
Children are most likely to die young, and it is common for one or two of three or four children in a family to die young. Therefore, many children often only take their baby names when they are young, and only take their names on the family tree after they are six years old.
Eunuch Liu carefully observed the words and expressions on the side, wondering whether the emperor was duplicity, and echoed with a smile: "The king of Zhennan is exactly the same as the old king of Zhennan back then."
The emperor responded and stared at the notebook for a while without speaking.
After a long time, he just said meaningfully: "Although it is a bit too late to ask the child to be a grandson when he is born, it is good to have a name as soon as possible..."
Eunuch Liu could only respond: "The emperor is right."
"Speaking of which, I watched Ah Yi and Miss Yue grow up," the emperor finally looked away from Zhezi, his firm eyes seemed to have made some kind of determination, "I really want to see their children..."
Eunuch Liu's heart skipped a beat. He had served the emperor for decades, and he had vaguely guessed what the emperor was going to say, so he could only say: "When the young master grows up, let Xiao Shizi and Shizifei bring the young prince to the capital. Regarding the looks of Shi Zi and Concubine Shi Zi, I believe the young master must look very good."
"What little son, you have to change your name to the grandson!" The emperor said lightly, "I heard that the midsummer in southern Xinjiang is very hot, and adults are prone to heatstroke, let alone children. The grandsons come to live in the king's capital for a few years to escape the summer heat..."
Eunuch Liu's eyelids twitched when he heard that, the emperor clearly meant to let the concubine and the newborn grandson be the protons.
How could Eunuch Liu dare to intervene in such a matter.
The emperor didn't need Eunuch Liu to agree, he had already made up his mind.
Although Pingyanghou said in the secret letter that Zhennan Wang and his son have no intention of rebelling against him, who can say for sure what will happen in the future
It's not good to be defensive, he always has to plan ahead!
