Chapter 443 Rising Sun

Ye Wansheng was born.

The weather was beautiful on the day the baby was born; it was sunny and breezy.

After eating, Ye Wan suddenly started having contractions and felt like she was going into labor. There had been brown discharge on her underwear for the past two days.

Having given birth once before, Ye Wan was already experienced and wasn't flustered. She sat down to rest and directed the people around her to prepare the delivery room.

"Mom, does your stomach hurt right now?"

Upon hearing the news, Er Ya rushed to the palace to see Ye Wan.

Since Madam Pei's last misunderstanding, the Pei family has split up, and Er Ya has moved to the Princess's residence. She specifically chose the one closest to the palace, so she arrived the fastest.

"It's alright, it doesn't hurt much. I estimate it will be over by tonight or tomorrow."

Ye Wan felt a pain in her stomach for a while, but then the pain subsided. It seemed like there was no movement at all, and it looked like the baby inside her wasn't in a hurry to come out.

"Mother, don't be afraid, I've found the best midwife." Er Ya said confidently.

Last year, on Ye Wan's birthday, everyone wanted to give her a golden bed, but she politely declined.

"I'm not afraid," Ye Wan smiled.

When faced with a small problem, she might dwell on it repeatedly, but when it comes to a big one, she doesn't panic at all.

For example, when it comes to having a baby, since you're going to have one anyway, what's there to be afraid of?

"Wavy, winding."

Upon hearing that Ye Wan had ordered the delivery room to be prepared, Lin Anyuan rushed off as soon as he finished the morning court session.

When I arrived, I was stunned to find the person sitting calmly.

"Why are you in such a hurry? You haven't even started giving birth yet."

Ye Wan found it a bit noisy when she saw that so many people had arrived.

"Don't stay here. All of you go out and wait outside, or do whatever you need to do. It's still a long way from giving birth."

Her stomach had been hurting for a while, but now she's not feeling anything at all. What are we all doing watching over her?

As a result, the whole morning passed without any activity.

In the afternoon, Ye Wan felt a slight contraction and ate braised pork, which she couldn't eat for a month after giving birth.

Throughout her pregnancy, she didn't eat much oily food to avoid gaining weight. As people get older, eating too well and exercising too little will inevitably lead to some weight gain. She decided to eat now and worry about it later.

It was dark when Ye Wan started to have stomach pains.

She forcefully kicked Lin Anyuan and the others out.

"Dad, could you please stop hovering in front of me? It's making me dizzy."

Lin Mingqian couldn't stand his father pacing back and forth any longer, and he was getting anxious.

Murong Yuanzhou also spoke up, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Your Majesty's wife is usually in good health, so she will definitely be fine."

“I know she’s alright, but she’s in pain.” After saying that, Lin Anyuan looked at Lin Mingqian and said, “Don’t sit in front of me, kid. I get annoyed just looking at you.”

Lin Mingqian: ...

Er Ya, who knew the situation, spoke up: "When your mother gave birth to you, she was in so much pain. Your father never thought about having another child all these years. This time it was an accident. In your father's heart, none of us can compare to your mother."

Da Ya said, "Everyone says that a mother's status depends on her son, but actually, a son's status depends on his mother. If you like a person, the child born to her will also love her. If you dislike a person the moment you see her, the child born to her will most likely not be likable either."

Murong Yuanzhou nodded, "That makes sense. Luckily, I am the Empress Dowager's biological son, otherwise I would be just like those other princes, unpopular."

"Let's go, don't get in the way."

His father was really something else. Before he met his mother, he loved being a father to others and had a whole bunch of adopted sons. Now he has troubles with him from time to time, and some of them are actually quite capable.

"I'm not going. I'll wait in the side hall."

Lin Mingqian didn't want to leave.

Having no other choice, Murong Yuanzhou also went to the side hall to wait.

I don't know how much time passed, but it was completely dark outside.

Suddenly, the sound of a baby crying came from inside the hall.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations on the birth of the Empress!"

Lu'er came out to announce the good news.

"Is it a daughter?"

"It's a daughter!"

Lin Anyuan came in after Ye Wan had finished getting ready.

Seeing that her face was pale and she was drinking soup, Lin Anyuan's eyes reddened.

Seeing his appearance, Ye Wan smiled weakly, "I'm fine, don't cry, otherwise if someone sees you, will you still have any dignity as the emperor?"

She felt less energetic after giving birth to her second child than she did with her first.

"Wanwan, our daughter looks just like you." Lin Anyuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the child only after confirming that Ye Wan was alright.

The little child has rosy skin.

"I can't see any resemblance to me, I think I look ugly." Ye Wan looked left and right, feeling that all newborn babies look the same.

She went to see Da Ya and Er Ya when they gave birth, and they looked just like her, with no difference. How did these people know they looked like her?

"Not ugly, beautiful." Lin Anyuan looked at his daughter with tender eyes.

"Lin Anyuan, you're a father again. Aren't you happy?" Ye Wan said to him.

Lin Anyuan touched Ye Wan's hand and said, "You've suffered."

"I want to sleep for a while, you go ahead and do your work."

Ye Wan was a little tired, but she forced herself to talk to Lin Anyuan.

Lin Anyuan turned back several times before leaving.

Lu'er fed Ye Wan a cup of water. "Your Majesty, you are weak. Why didn't you tell the Emperor earlier?"

Ye Wan almost collapsed from exhaustion during this production run, but he kept it a secret from Lin Anyuan.

"Postpartum women are weak. Telling him this will only make him anxious. He's already given birth, so it doesn't matter whether he gives birth or not."

Ye Wan still felt unwell after drinking water; she felt indescribably uncomfortable and didn't know if it was due to hormones.

“I don’t actually want to have children. Sometimes I feel that having children is just to put his mind at ease.”

Women's physiological structure is very strange; they can get pregnant regardless of whether they want to or not.

"Your Majesty..." Lu'er was slightly surprised.

The emperor and empress are a legendary tale, how could the empress say such a thing?

"What's wrong? Don't you believe what I'm saying?" Ye Wan asked, lying down.

After exchanging a few words with Lu'er, I learned that the most common way for a man to tie down a daughter is to make her have children. Once she has children, she is tied down and can no longer fly high or far. Of course, many times the woman does this willingly.

She had a child with Lin Anyuan because Lin Anyuan was worthy of it; it was a mutual decision.

Lin Anyuan stood at the door for a long time.

Standing to the side, Jixiang looked at Lin Anyuan, whose eyes were red-rimmed, and her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

The Empress just said those words, Your Majesty…

After a long silence, Lin Anyuan spoke softly, "Let's go. Don't let the Empress know I was here just now."

Back in the Hall of Diligent Governance, Lin Anyuan sat alone for a very long time.

"Wanwan, you're right. I am a despicable person. I used every means to keep you by my side."

...

...

Ye Wan named her daughter Lin Chaoyang.

Princess Chaoyang.

The older brother, Lin Mingqian, was not a prince, but the younger sister became a princess.

The court officials had no objections; after all, a woman wouldn't threaten the crown prince's throne, so a princess was fine.

Just after Princess Chaoyang's third-day celebration, Crown Prince Murong Yuanzhou and Jiang Ning got married.

Just three months later, Chen Sixu also entered the room.

Logically speaking, wives and concubines should not enter the household in the same year, but Jiang Ning didn't care. She was so bored in the Eastern Palace by herself; it was much more interesting with a beauty like Shen Sixu by her side.

Chen Sixu was a third-ranked scholar in the imperial examinations, but she also had work to do at the Hanlin Academy, so she was usually busy and didn't go home until late at night.

Sometimes the two women were busy with other matters and often neglected the Crown Prince, the main person in charge.

Murong Yuanzhou:......

If he hadn't looked in the mirror and realized he was actually quite good-looking, he would have thought he was ugly and being disliked like this.

Time flew by, and the war in the Jin Kingdom was also raging fiercely.

Good news often came, though there were times when they lost, but Sanya seemed determined not to return until she had crushed the Jin Kingdom.
