Chapter 895 Joy in the Prince's Residence

The midwife held the baby;

Newborn babies are usually wrinkled and rather ugly;

It wouldn't be accurate to say this child was born perfect, that would be an exaggeration;

But the skin was much smoother than that of an ordinary newborn.

However, the baby was out and in her arms, but it wasn't crying.

In her anxiety, the midwife slapped the baby's bottom.

"Slap!"

The baby still didn't cry.

Immediately after, another slap.

"Slap!"

The baby still didn't cry.

The three midwives were so anxious that they burst into tears, could this be a stillborn!

Fortunately, after being slapped twice, the baby finally opened its eyes and began to curiously explore the world, but still, it didn't cry.

Seeing that the baby was "alive,"

The three midwives breathed a sigh of relief.

One of them then realized to check the bottom,

Opening the two small legs,

Took a look.

Immediately,

"Congratulations, madam, a precious daughter, a precious daughter!"

"Take the child down to clean up, and tidy up here as well."

"Yes."

"Yes, madam."

Watching the baby being taken away to be bathed, and thinking of the scene where the baby came out on its own initiative earlier;

Si Niang, still holding the needle in her hand, couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"Such a troublemaker."

As for the princess herself, she had already fainted after the baby came out.

Si Niang didn't feed the princess any more tonifying pills, after all, she had already taken quite a few during the delivery, fearing that her body couldn't handle the excess.

However, Si Niang personally applied acupuncture to the princess, using acupuncture to help regulate her qi and blood, first strengthening the foundation, and then proceeding with tonifying and recovery.

About an hour later,

The princess woke up slowly.

"The child... my child... the child..."

The princess looked at Si Niang sitting beside her, at this time, she couldn't care less about respecting or fearing her "sister."

"Bring the child over."

Ke Shi brought the cleaned and swaddled baby over and placed it beside the princess.

The princess turned her head and looked at her child.

The baby wasn't asleep, but was staring at its mother with its eyes open.

After a moment,

The baby smiled by itself.

This smile almost melted the princess's heart;

True satisfaction in life, perhaps, is like this, everything, everything is her.

The princess looked up at Si Niang.

Si Niang said, "It's a girl."

The princess smiled,

And said:

"A girl is good, a girl is good, may she be safe and sound her whole life."

The family atmosphere in the Prince's Residence had always been good.

The Prince himself had always said that he wanted a daughter and would give her all the love he could.

As for the princess, she had originally fantasized that the first child would be a boy, she hadn't completely dismissed the idea of gaining status through her son.

But when she really saw the child's smile,

She hoped that the child would be a girl,

So that she could avoid a lot of trouble, and could be happy and peaceful.

No need to fight, no need to compete, just grow up happily, as a mother, I am already content.

The baby smacked its lips, it seemed to like to smile very much.

Si Niang picked up the baby, reached out, and gently touched the baby's lips.

"Hiccup~~"

The baby reached out and grabbed one of Si Niang's fingers.

She was innocent, and it wasn't her fault that she almost killed her mother during birth, the blame for the bloodline can only be borne by the bloodline.

"He will like this daughter very much," Si Niang said.

"Yes, the Prince has always said he wanted a daughter."

A smile appeared on the corner of Si Niang's mouth, and she handed the baby to Ke Shi, instructing, "Go find a wet nurse."

"Yes, madam."

Ke Shi took the baby down.

Si Niang lowered her head, looked at the princess, and comforted, "You can have more."

The princess looked at Si Niang with a very aggrieved expression,

And said coquettishly:

"Sister, it hurts."

She had imagined childbirth being painful before, but she really didn't expect it to be so painful.

"You'll get used to it after the first time, anyway, it's up to you.

After all, our family is big and prosperous, it would be more lively with more children.

Besides, we already have a lot of family property now, and there will definitely be more in the future, we need to have more children, so that we won't be afraid of not having enough land to bestow, but of having too much land and not enough people."

The princess smiled when she heard this, and said, "It would be good if there was a boy in Sister's belly."

The Prince of the West Pacification's Residence needed an eldest son born of the legal wife.

The soldiers and civilians of Jin Dong needed an heir who could inherit their Prince in terms of bloodline, and whom they could continue to be loyal to.

It could be said that this was a sign of political stability, the so-called... foundation of the country.

Si Niang reached out and touched her belly, not taking it seriously, "I don't really care about this, I'm just afraid you'll be narrow-minded."

"How could I be so ignorant?"

"Alright, take good care of your body, let the wet nurse feed her for now, and when your body recovers, if you want to, you can feed her yourself.

Our Prince's Residence doesn't have as many rules as the imperial palace, whoever's child it is, they raise it themselves."

"I'll do as Sister says."

Si Niang took a handkerchief from the hand of a nearby maid and gently wiped the princess's forehead.

"Sleep a little longer."

"Okay."

Si Niang got up and walked out of here.

In the outer room, the wet nurse was feeding the baby girl, and Jian Bi was standing there staring at the baby.

"Thump."

Si Niang reached out and gave Jian Bi a chestnut on the head.

Jian Bi covered her head, and when she saw that it was Si Niang, she didn't dare to explode, she could only pout aggrievedly.

"If you like children, just have one yourself."

"I'm still young," Jian Bi said.

"Oh, it seems you've thought about this for a while," Si Niang teased, "How old do you want to be?"

"I... I don't know."

"Alright, help me back."

Si Niang stretched out her hand, and Jian Bi quickly took it to support her.

In fact, Si Niang was really tired, this delivery had twists and turns, and the ending was good, but it still consumed a lot of her energy.

People get tired easily after they are pregnant.

Si Niang originally wanted to go back to her room to rest, but Xiao Yibo rushed over and said, "Madam, the Prince's troops are just outside the city, the Prince is about to return to the Residence."

Si Niang shook her head when she heard this,

And said;

"He really knows how to pick his time."

Indeed, if the master had really been present, the issue of saving the mother or the child would definitely be saving the mother, there was no doubt about that;

But if the master was really standing next to her, using the same decisive and unwavering tone as she had before to say those words to that "little beast,"

Could the father do it?

At a critical moment, you have to have this kind of ruthlessness, and the master probably wouldn't have it, a little softer, and it probably wouldn't have come out obediently.

"I'm tired, you go greet the Prince."

"Yes, this one understands."

Si Niang was too lazy to put on a big show to welcome the Prince's triumphant return, she was going to sleep.

She entered the room,

Lay down,

Jian Bi seemed to want to leave.

"Oh, missing those broad shoulders?" Si Niang joked.

"No way."

"Don't rush to put yourself on the market, you'll lose your sense of propriety, you think he's just a wooden stake, but he's actually sharper than anyone else, a woman should still be a little reserved."

"Yes, I understand."

"Come, massage my legs."

"Okay."

Jian Bi squatted down next to the bed and massaged Si Niang's legs.

"After my master's wife became pregnant, her feet were obviously swollen, and she also had rashes all over her body, how is your skin still so good, other than your belly, it seems that there are no other changes on your body?"

"Want to learn?"

"Yes." In the face of such questions, Jian Bi, as a woman, was very honest.

"Have you been practicing your sword?"

"Yes, I practice every day."

"Has your realm not improved?"

"Master didn't allow it, when I was too young, I accidentally entered the level, and Master directly extracted that level of cultivation, after that I only practiced sword techniques."

Entering the level too young, before the body has developed properly, is like draining the pond to catch the fish, and will greatly limit future development.

This is the relationship between a thoroughbred horse and a horse connoisseur, if Jian Bi's family was an ordinary sword family, they would probably be eager for Jian Bi to enter the level early and regard her as a child prodigy of the family;

But the Sword Saint dared to directly extract her cultivation and let her continue to suppress it.

"When you enter the level, I will teach you a set of mental cultivation techniques that can regulate qi and blood, it has almost no benefit to fighting or realms, but it is very effective for maintaining youth."

Only Si Niang would research such a mental cultivation technique.

"Okay." Jian Bi knocked on her legs even more diligently.

"Alright, alright, knock for a while longer and then go outside to wait for the Prince."

"Okay, I understand."

……

At this time,

A group of cavalry had already rushed into Fengxin City.

The leader was Prince of the West Pacification himself, followed by a group of Jin Dong generals.

Even though he was eager to return, Zheng Fan still didn't dare to gallop back on light cavalry like last time, it wasn't a secret that the Prince of the West Pacification's princess was about to give birth, what if there was an ambush along the way?

The world is vast, with strange existences and incredible methods;

Only with elite cavalry protection can the Prince feel safe and secure.

If something really went wrong and he got off track again, and the child was born but the father was gone, what kind of situation would that be?

However, after entering the city, the Prince directly rode the Pixiu in the city.

The Pixiu also sensed the master's urgent thoughts and quickly ran back to the gate of the Prince's Residence.

Xiao Yibo and others were already waiting at the door,

All the Embroidered Uniform Guard personal guards and servants in the Residence knelt down:

"Welcome the Prince's triumphant return!!!"

The Prince dismounted the Pixiu, ignored the kneeling people, and went straight into the Prince's Residence.

The generals who followed behind laughed together at the sight.

They had already received the news outside the city that the princess had given birth to a little princess, in fact, most of the generals present had children, and more than one or two, as people who had been there, they could understand their Prince's loss of composure in such matters.

After Xiao Yibo got up, he instructed his men to take care of these generals while he quickly ran to the inner courtyard to serve.

The Prince didn't even take off his armor, and after walking to the inner courtyard, between the path leading to the main courtyard and the princess's courtyard, his pace slowed down slightly.

At this time, Jian Bi came out,

And said;

"Sister Feng said that you should go see the princess first, she's going to sleep a little longer."

The Prince nodded and walked towards the princess's small courtyard.

Jian Bi returned to the bedroom and reported to Si Niang, then smiled;

"Sister, the Prince is really something else to you, I clearly saw his footsteps slow down earlier."

Even though another wife had just given birth, when he returned home, he was still thinking of going to see the first wife first, this favor, this treatment.

Si Niang was lying on the bed at this time, propping up her face with her hand, and said:

"Didn't I also ask you to wait outside and tell him not to come see me first? If he didn't wait a bit, how awkward would he be, even if he came in to see me first, he would probably feel uncomfortable in his heart."

Jian Bi frowned slightly, her feelings towards Zheng Fan were actually very subtle, in front of Zheng Fan, she rarely used honorifics, this was her last bit of stubbornness towards her dead master.

Therefore, she directly asked at this time: "Sister, do husband and wife have to calculate like this when living together?"

"When cooking a pot of soup, it's not like you can just throw in all kinds of good ingredients and it will taste good, that's called a mishmash.

Sometimes, even if it's just simple green vegetables and tofu, as long as it's prepared well, the soup can be very delicious.

The way husband and wife get along is like cooking soup.

This isn't called calculation, this is called management."

"Oh." Jian Bi nodded, she didn't really understand it yet.

But the women in the inner courtyard, even Jian Bi, basically had a kind of... worship of Si Niang.

In this era, Si Niang was undoubtedly an idol.

"You'll understand in the future."

……

"Congratulations on the Prince's triumphant return!"

"Congratulations on the Prince's triumphant return!"

The servants in Xiong Liqing's small courtyard all knelt down to welcome the Prince.

The Prince walked into the room,

The wet nurse held the little princess and greeted the Prince.

The Prince reached out and gently pushed the wet nurse away, without even looking at his daughter in the swaddling clothes, he went directly to the princess's bed;

Holding the princess's hand,

Looking at her,

He said softly:

"You've worked hard."

Xiong Liqing looked at her husband and gently rested her head on his chest.

At this time, she really needed support from her own man.

"It's her husband who has worked hard to return from the expedition."

"It's my fault for coming back late and not being able to accompany you."

On the side, the wet nurse was holding the little princess, not knowing whether to step forward or leave, as if she was superfluous.

The princess shifted her gaze and looked at the wet nurse, saying:

"Husband, look at our daughter."

The Prince seemed to have just remembered that, oh, he also had a daughter born.

But immediately,

He waved his hand,

And said;

"I won't look at her, I received news that she made your delivery difficult, I won't look at her, I won't look at her."

The princess bit her lip, her eyes smiling like crescent moons.

With her wisdom, she knew that these were her husband's words to coax her, but at this time, she just loved to hear them.

However, she still said, "Husband, look at our daughter."

"Sigh, okay."

The Prince reluctantly beckoned to the wet nurse over there.

The wet nurse was relieved and brought the child over.

Zheng Fan reached out and took it, only feeling that the child in his arms was very soft and light, he couldn't feel any weight at all, but he had to tense his arms, fearing that she would accidentally fall, and a sense of gain and loss immediately filled his entire being.

"She looks a lot like you," Zheng Fan said.

"Doesn't she look like you?" Xiong Liqing asked curiously, "Her eyebrows are exactly the same as yours."

"She looks like me, she looks like me."

Zheng Fan nodded.

At this time,

The daughter opened her eyes, looked at Zheng Fan holding her, and smiled.

"Hehe."

The Prince also smiled.

The princess lying on the side could only try to hold back her laughter when she saw her man smiling like an idiot.

"My daughter, this is my daughter."

The Prince teased his daughter.

He only felt that every subtle facial movement of the little person in his arms was a miracle and gift from the creator in his eyes.

Moreover,

His daughter also loved to smile very much.

……

In the Prince's Residence's hall, a group of generals who had returned with the Prince were smiling happily.

The Prince's Residence had a princess, although it was a girl, but firstly, the Prince's Residence's real first wife was also pregnant, and she would give birth soon;

Secondly, it was popular to adopt sons these days, if all else failed, they could adopt a son and then marry him to the princess, and they could directly train him as a successor.

Of course, it definitely wouldn't be as legitimate or have as solid a foundation as having their own biological son.

But if there was one, there would be a second, and there would definitely be more in the future, so everyone wasn't in a hurry.

The Jin Dong generals, what they were most worried about before was actually that their Prince wouldn't be like the Prince of Jingnan, being controlled by his descendants, or having no descendants;

Now, that worry could be cast aside.

A man with his own biological child and without, those were completely two different atmospheres and thoughts.

"The Prince has arrived!"

All the generals stood up.

The Prince walked in holding his daughter, these generals had followed him into the city precisely for this matter, and it was only right and proper for them to see the child.

Most importantly, every child was the apple of their parents' eye, and when they had a treasure, they couldn't help but show it off, could they?

"She's so well-behaved."

"She's so pretty, she doesn't even need to grow up, you can tell at a glance that she's a beauty."

"Hahaha, she looks just like the Prince."

A group of generals surrounded the little princess, constantly praising her.

"Hahaha."

The Prince kept nodding and smiling.

At this time, there was no need to be reserved or restrained, just do whatever made him happy.

At this time,

Ding Hao, who had been the Prince's first martial arts teacher and was now a general, joked:

"This has to be announced to all sides, so that all the young men in Zhuxia can quickly prepare their betrothal gifts, hahaha..."

There was actually nothing wrong with what Ding Hao said.

Daughters would eventually marry.

But the Prince's thoughts were different from this era, he was normal before seeing his daughter, but as soon as he saw her, he directly became a daughter slave.

Especially since he had only held her in his arms for a short time,

And you're saying you want to marry my daughter off?

How dare you!

Which stinky brat comes to propose,

Okay,

If he comes to propose today,

I'll lead the iron cavalry to exterminate his entire family tomorrow!

The Prince directly said:

"This Prince's little princess must always stay by this Prince's side."

My little princess,

Our little princess,

Was a term of endearment for his daughter;

But this title, in this day and age, represented completely different political implications.

Those of the Prince's Residence were princesses;

Those of the Son of Heaven were princesses.

Zheng Fan was in high spirits and didn't notice this.

The surrounding generals then fell silent at once,

They looked at me,

I looked at you,

Then,

Everyone retreated,

Knelt down on one knee and saluted,

And shouted in unison:

"Greetings, Princess, may you live a thousand years!"
