Grand View Garden, Daoxiang Village, in the wing room——

It was early spring, the weather was still cold, and the breeze was blowing the green willows in the courtyard.

The light yellow curtains covered the curtains of the warm room, and the scent of musk filled the room, refreshing, peaceful and pleasant.

Li Wan, wearing a loose skirt, sat on a soft couch covered with a mattress in the inner room. At this moment, her beautiful belly was bulging like a ball, and her fair face seemed to be covered with a layer of light red blush.

Immediately, Li Wan turned her head and asked Biyue who came in from the outside. Curiosity appeared on her gentle and lovely face, and she asked, "Biyue, has the baby been born in Longcui Temple?"

Bi Yue had a bright smile on her face and said, "It's born, grandma, and it looks like a big fat boy."

Li Wan was also somewhat surprised when she heard this. Her eyes flickered and she murmured, "Did she give birth to a son?"

Cuiyun smiled and said, "Grandma, this baby might be a son."

After all, Li Wan already had a son, and people at that time still believed that whether to have a boy or a girl was up to the woman.

As Li Wan spoke, she stretched out a slender hand and gently stroked her bulging belly. Her rosy face was full of happiness and sweet smile. She said softly, "Actually, I still want a girl."

Of course, this is just a saying. If you still want a boy, only in this way can you firmly tie Jia Heng's heart.

Cuiyun smiled and said, "Grandma usually eats sour food, so this baby is most likely a boy."

A hint of rosy blush appeared on Li Wan's fair and jade-like face, and she uttered a soft "hmm".

While they were talking, Cao's voice came from outside. Soon, Cao entered the room, a bright smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Wan'er."

Li Wan raised her delicate head, her eyes were soft and charming, and she called out, "Aunt is coming."

Cao's jade-like face was full of smiles, and she said softly, "Wan'er, Miaoyu from the Rongcui Temple has given birth."

"Biyue told me just now." Li Wan whispered.

Cao smiled and said, "Your due date should be here soon."

Li Wan responded softly, "It should be this month."

Cao smiled and said, "Then you should be careful in your daily life and take good care of your pregnancy so that nothing goes wrong."

Li Wan nodded and said "hmm" in a whisper. Suddenly she remembered something and raised her soft eyes to ask with concern, "Aunt, where are Sister Wen and Sister Qi? Why haven't they come over these past two days?"

Although the sisters Li Wen and Li Qi were given the title of ladies of honor after they got married, Jia Heng was busy with affairs outside the family not long after the marriage and had no time to accompany the two sisters.

Cao smiled and said, "After they got married, they often went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to play together, reciting poems and making couplets, which was quite pleasant. I just hope that they will give birth to a good grandson for me one day."

Her two daughters are now ladies of noble title, and if they give birth to children, they can no longer be considered illegitimate, and they will have wealth in the future.

Li Wan's face was flushed, and she said softly, "That's good too. They are young girls, and they talk more when they are playing together."

Cao suddenly said, "When Lan Ge'er came back for the New Year, he wanted to see you. Why didn't you let him see you?"

Jia Lan studied at the Jia family school. In order to prepare for the autumn examination, he did not go home for a long time, but when the New Year came, he naturally went home to visit his mother.

When Li Wan heard Cao mention Jia Lan, her flawless face with fair skin seemed to show a hint of shame. She gently stroked her bulging belly and said, "How can I meet him in this state?"

Should I tell him to give him a younger brother and sister?

Cao sighed and said, "That's right, but he has to know it eventually."

Li Wan's soft and charming face showed worry, and she said quietly, "Now we can only keep it a secret step by step."

As Cao spoke, she held Li Wan's delicate hand and said, "You don't have to worry too much. He treats his uncle Heng as his own father. Even if he knows the truth, it won't matter."

Li Wan hummed softly, stretched out her slender hand to stroke her bulging belly, and a blush appeared on her gentle and lovely face, making her look bright and charming.

It can be said that every mother wants to maintain a perfect image in front of her son.

……

……

Ningguo Mansion

Jia Heng was about to get up and leave the study room when a maid in bright clothes suddenly entered the hall. Her wrinkled face was full of smiles and she said, "Your Highness, the Princess's mansion sent someone to tell you that Princess Xianning is going to give birth."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao looked at the young man in the python robe with a twinkling gaze under her beautiful eyebrows, and said in surprise: "Xianning also gave birth?"

Each of them has children.

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Yes, they are all here together. I will go and take a look now."

Chen Xiao's eyebrows curved up, and a hint of melancholy appeared on her beautiful face, as pure as a snow lotus on an iceberg.

Jia Heng turned his eyes to Chen Xiao, caught the sad look between her eyebrows, and said, "Xiaoxiao, it won't be too late for you to have a child in one or two years."

Chen Xiao heard this and felt a surge of shame and anger in her heart. She snorted softly, her bright jade cheeks blushing, and said, "Then go quickly, or you'll give birth to twins again."

Jia Heng: "..."

He was really a little afraid. If he gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, then the whole world would know what he had done before.

As he was speaking, Jia Heng left Ningguo Mansion, rode a fast horse, and galloped towards Princess Jinyang's Mansion.

It is early spring in February, and the weather is still cold. There is not much bustling atmosphere in the shops on both sides of the street.

Princess Jinyang's residence, in the back house, in the wing room -

In a side room behind a brocade mica screen, a large number of maids and female officials gathered. It was a crowded place with a lot of chattering, and they were helping Princess Xianning deliver a baby.

Princess Xianning was wearing a loose skirt and lying on a bed covered with a soft mattress. Her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Her unmade-up face was oozing out beads of sweat the size of soybeans, which were crystal clear and shining in people's eyes.

Princess Xianning clutched the quilt tightly with her two delicate hands, as if she was trying hard to give birth to the baby, and her voice became hoarse from time to time.

At this moment, Princess Jinyang, accompanied by Lianxue, Li Chanyue and Song Yan, stood in the courtyard. Her flawless face, snow-white skin, was rosy, and her face was full of anxiety.

Li Chanyue nodded, her eyes sparkling, and she said comfortingly, "Mother, my cousin is fine."

Princess Jinyang's face was still full of worry. She said, "I know, but giving birth is a hurdle for women. You must not take it lightly."

Li Chanyue's emerald eyebrows were full of melancholy, and her eyes, which were full of stars and moonlight, flashed. She comforted him, "Mother, my cousin will be fine."

"Yes." Princess Jinyang smiled and said, "Wait two years and ask your husband to give birth to a child for you."

Li Chanyue's cheeks flushed when she heard that. She responded softly, with unspeakable fantasies welling up in her heart.

She also wants one, but her belly seems a little unreliable.

Song Yan listened quietly to the conversation between the two people. The face that resembled Queen Song, with graceful and bright eyes, was full of gentleness and loveliness. Listening to the conversation inside, she felt a little fascinated in her heart.

At this moment, a maid came quickly from outside and said softly, "Your Highness, the Prince of Wei is here."

Princess Jinyang heard this and said happily, "He is finally here."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the young man in python clothes who came out of the moon-shaped gate and walked between the corridors. He had an upright figure and a dignified demeanor, almost like a lush spring pine.

While Jia Heng was talking, he walked quickly along the corridor with green painted railings, looked at Princess Jinyang with clear eyes, and asked, "Jinyang, how is Xianning?"

Princess Jinyang's eyebrows were curved like crescent moons, her eyes were bright and clear as water, and she said, "She is staying in the room. She is about to give birth."

Jia Heng asked, "What do you mean?"

Princess Jinyang said in a soft and charming voice, "They are delivering a baby inside."

Jia Heng nodded and looked towards the delivery room with concern. Looking at the maids and nurses coming in and out, he felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

Princess Jinyang's face flushed as she tried to persuade him, saying softly, "Zi Yu, don't worry too much."

Jia Heng said in a gentle voice: "This is Xianning's first time giving birth, I'm still a little worried about her."

In this era, due to backward medical conditions, giving birth is more like a hurdle for women.

This is also the reason why married women with children are, to some extent, more popular than unmarried girls.

Princess Jinyang's beautiful eyes, with emerald eyebrows, looked at me with tears in her eyes. She said, "Nothing will happen."

Jia Heng nodded and waited for the movement inside.

"Ah..."

At this moment, you can hear the sound of the baby crying, which makes people feel a little relaxed.

Jia Heng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said in a gentle voice: "The child is born."

Today, I became a father twice in one day.

The maids and servants under the eaves were going in and out of the side rooms, carrying copper basins with steam rising from them.

Immediately, he turned around, looked at Princess Jinyang, and said softly, "I'll go in and see Xianning."

Princess Jinyang's eyes were gentle and warm under her willow-shaped eyebrows. She smiled and said softly, "Go."

While Jia Heng was talking, he didn't say much. He stepped over the threshold and walked into the hall.

At this moment, in the wing room——

Princess Xianning was lying on the bed at this moment. Her forehead, as smooth as jade, was covered with crystal sweat. Her beautiful face was as pale as paper, and her eyes, as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water, showed a hint of weakness and frailty.

"Is the child a boy or a girl? Bring it here, let me see." Princess Xianning pursed her pale, bloodless lips. When she opened her mouth, her voice was inevitably a little hoarse, and a faint blush seemed to appear on her fragrant face.

At this moment, the nanny smiled and said, "Princess, the little prince is washing his amniotic fluid right now."

Princess Xianning was overjoyed when she heard this, and her beautiful face flushed with ecstasy as she said in a trembling voice, "It's a boy."

She finally got what she wanted by giving birth to a boy.

After a while, the young man in the python robe came out from outside. He was happy on his calm face. He held Princess Xianning's delicate hand and said, "Xianning, you have worked hard."

As soon as Jia Heng said this, he felt... this line was inexplicably familiar.

Princess Xianning looked at the young man in the python costume with her sparkling eyes under her beautiful eyebrows and said, "Sir, it's a boy."

Jia Heng paused for a moment, then he grasped the beauty's delicate hand and said, "I know, this time the baby is finally a boy."

Princess Xianning paused for a moment, her eyes were filled with a hint of attachment, and she said in a soft voice, "Sir."

Jia Heng said: "You should rest more recently."

Princess Xianning hummed softly and said, "I haven't seen the child yet."

At this moment, a nanny holding a swaddled baby boy walked quickly forward, looked at the young man in the python costume with a smile on her face, and said happily: "My lord, princess, the little prince weighs five pounds and three ounces."

Princess Xianning stretched out a slender hand and called out, her fair face showing joy and fondness as she whispered, "Bring it here, let me have a look."

The nanny came closer, holding the swaddled baby.

The baby's face was wrinkled, but his facial features, inherited from his parents' good genes, were already handsome.

Princess Xianning's voice was soft and charming, her eyebrows were curved like willows, and her bright eyes were as clear as water, full of maternal pampering and affection.

Jia Heng looked at the baby whose face was still wrinkled, then turned to look at Princess Xianning and said, "This child's eyebrows and eyes are a bit like yours."

Princess Xianning snorted and said unhappily, "I think she looks more like you, but I'm afraid she will be a romantic and amorous person in the future."

Jia Heng smiled and gently held Princess Xianning's slender hand, feeling it was soft and tender, and said, "Then you should teach him well in the future."

Princess Xianning's beautiful eyes sparkled like water under her smoky eyebrows. She said, "In the future, I want to be like you, build a big crystal palace, pass on my family line, and have many children."

Jia Heng: "..."

Xianning was a victim, but eventually became the perpetrator. In the context of the patriarchal era, not even a single tear from a mother can be trusted.

Princess Xianning looked at him with her soft and shimmering eyes under her dark eyebrows. Her clear and cold voice was trembling as she said softly, "Sir."

Jia Heng pulled Princess Xianning's delicate hand over, feeling it was soft and smooth, and whispered, "Miaoyu also gave birth today, and they were almost born at the same time today."

Jia Heng's eyes were as warm as the rising sun under his sword-like brows. He stared at Princess Xianning and said, "Well, you should rest more recently. I will come to see you often."

Princess Xianning said softly, "Hmm," and her beautiful face blushed like clouds. She said in a whisper, "Sir."

Jia Heng nodded and said gently, "Close your eyes and go to sleep."

Princess Xianning's heart was filled with sweetness, and she responded softly. Suddenly, she felt an indescribable tiredness coming over her. After a while, the beautiful woman with a plump, fair and smooth face and skin as white as jade could not help but let out bursts of even breathing sounds.

Jia Heng turned his head and looked at Princess Xianning, who had a tired look between her eyebrows, and felt a little pity in his heart.

Jia Heng turned and looked at the baby in the cradle beside him, with love also evident in his eyes.

This is his son with Xianning.

Afterwards, Jia Heng left the room without saying much.

When Jia Heng came out of the wing room, he met Princess Jinyang's concerned gaze and said, "Jinyang."

Princess Jinyang's eyes were as gentle as water, and she showed concern. She asked in a gentle voice, "How are Xianning and the child?"

Jia Heng chuckled and said, "Mother and child are safe. It's a big fat boy weighing five kilograms. The mother and child are sleeping now."

Princess Jinyang's eyebrows were curved, and her eyes were sparkling like water. She stared at the young man in the python robe and said, "Then let them both rest."

Jia Heng walked slowly forward, held Princess Jinyang's delicate hand, and said gently, "Let's go to the backyard hall to talk."

While Princess Jinyang was speaking, she and Song Yan and Li Chanyue beside her quickly walked towards the hall of the back house and sat down.

In the hall, a servant was holding a teacup with steam rising from it.

Jia Heng took a sip of tea and asked, "Big sister should be giving birth soon, right?"

Princess Jinyang smiled and said, "That's right, they are all going together.

Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, his eyes were warm, and he said softly: "Now that there is nothing to worry about in the world, those who should have children should have them."

Princess Jinyang chuckled and said, "It seems that it is time to retire after accomplishing my mission."

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes."

However, the evil wind in the central government has once again risen, and it is even getting more intense. In the final analysis, it is the civil service group that wants to seize his power.

Princess Jinyang then asked, "The troops in Liaodong are going to be withdrawn soon, right?"

Jia Heng thought for a moment and said, "It should be during this period of time. The cabinet has already conveyed the order to Liaodong, which should be within the next two or three months."

Once his troops return to the capital, it can be imagined that the King of Chu and the cabinet will have a series of backup plans waiting for him.

We need to take the initiative to prepare for a breakthrough now.

Princess Jinyang frowned, her beautiful eyes gleaming as she stared at the young man in the python robe, and said, "You still have to be careful in the future. After all, a new emperor appoints new ministers."

Jia Heng picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "I will be careful."

Princess Jinyang nodded, her tone full of concern, and asked, "Zi Yu, how is your relationship with the new emperor recently?"

Jia Heng nodded and said, "It's fine for now."

Princess Jinyang raised her eyebrows, her charming eyes showing a thoughtful look, and said: "The emperor's heart is changeable, you should be careful."

Jia Heng responded lightly and said nothing more.

At this moment, Li Chanyue said, "Mother, it's getting late, it's time for dinner."

Princess Jinyang smiled sweetly and said, "Is my Chanyue hungry?"

Li Chanyue's delicate and fair face flushed slightly, her beautiful eyes, which were full of stars and moon, shone with a sparkling light, and she uttered a soft "hmm".

When her mother was around, she didn't even have time to talk to Mr. Xiao Jia.

As they were talking, they sat down at a dining table and started eating.

Princess Jinyang looked at the young man beside her and said, "Go check on Yuanchun later. She should be giving birth soon."

Jia Heng responded and said, "After dinner, I'll go take a look."

The two of them chatted without saying much and had lunch together.
