Jiang Ling lay down obediently, still happy that the child had a name.

She took his hand and swung it, "When did you come up with this name?"

The two of them had written several large pages before, but he had never mentioned it.

Zhou Jingan sat beside her, his eyes smiling. "You said you wanted to eat candied haws on the day you gave birth. I suddenly thought of this when I was riding my horse to buy some."

Jiang Ling smiled, "What a coincidence! He's about to be born just as you thought of a name."

She thought of the candied haws and asked him, "Did you buy it then? Where did you buy it?"

"Mr. Zhang, who sells candied haws, lives at the end of Ronghua Street. I rode over to his door and knocked on his door. I managed to get him to get up and make me one."

Jiang Ling covered her mouth and laughed, "Didn't he scold you?"

Zhou Jingan shook his head, his eyes gentle, "No, but after I leave, I may not be sure."

He stared at her, pursed his lips, traced her eyebrows and eyes, and said softly: "Actually, there is another meaning behind the name 'Xian'."

"Oh? What?" she asked.

Zhou Jing'an said slowly, word by word: "The word 'envy' means to want something because of liking it."

Jiang Ling was stunned, then seeing his serious expression, she understood what he meant and her cheeks turned slightly red.

He said that he wanted their child because he loved her.

"Also, there is a word called lingering envy of love." He looked at her, and a little red appeared on the tip of his ear.

"It means..." He opened his lips lightly, "It means love and affection, and mutual affection."

He said that his coming was due to their mutual love.

Jiang Ling felt her face getting hot and her eyelashes trembled like a butterfly flapping its wings.

"You..." She bit her lip in embarrassment and whispered softly, "Don't tell the child about this name, or he'll be angry."

Zhou Jing'an didn't care whether he was angry or not.

His wife suffered so much to give birth to him, it's a blessing that he is not angry with the child.

He leaned over and kissed her lips, and asked her stickyly, "Ling'er, do you think the name I chose is okay?"

Jiang Ling glared at him and climbed onto his neck, "...Okay."

"I just didn't expect it to have such a meaning. I'm afraid my grandmother and the others couldn't guess it."

If they knew about this, I would be too embarrassed to face anyone.

Zhou Jingan saw her embarrassed look, smiled and kissed her cheek, "That's how it is. If you and I weren't in love with each other, there wouldn't be him."

His fingers gently stroked her eyebrows and he murmured softly, "If he wasn't Ling'er and I's child, I wouldn't like him at all."

He loved him entirely because he was born to Jiang Ling.

It doesn't matter what he looks like in the future, whether he is beautiful or ugly, tall or short, incompetent or smart, just because he is Jiang Ling's child, he loves him.

Jiang Ling felt a sweet feeling in her heart. She held his face and kissed him a few times, her watery eyes smiling, "You're becoming more and more slick."

The Zhou family's newborn was given a name that was so grand and profound in meaning that it caused quite a stir in the capital.

This baby, who was still in swaddling clothes and could neither speak nor walk, was already known to the entire capital.

After lying in bed for a few days, Jiang Ling knew that someone in Wuliu Street was still thinking about her. When there were no more guests coming to her house, she asked Xiaojia to pick up the person.

He Zui's heart, which had been worried for several days, finally settled down after he personally took her pulse.

"He's still a little weak. He just needs more rest." It was rare for him not to argue with Jiang Ling. His serious expression made Jiang Ling feel unfamiliar.

She said jokingly, "Doctor He, can you please talk to them? I'm tired of all those nourishing soups and medicines."

He Zui frowned and shook his head, "No, that Imperial Physician Lin is a capable one. I'm not good at gynecological diseases, and the prescriptions he prescribes are truly precious. You just need to be obedient and take care of yourself."

Jiang Ling's eyebrows drooped, "Okay."

She looked outside the door. Wan Ran was a stranger and could not come directly into the inner room, so he stood outside through the door and gauze curtain.

Seeing her looking at him through the gauze curtain, Wanran took a step forward and looked at her with concern, "How are you?"

Jiang Ling smiled and replied, "I'm fine. I'll be full of energy again after some rest. Don't worry."

He traced her vague outline and listened to her voice, which was as clear as before, without any hint of weakness, and felt relieved.

"Have you seen the child?" Jiang Ling couldn't help but show off her son. "He's so cute. Go ask Zizhen to take him to see him."

He Zui laughed and went to the east wing with Wanran. Little Zhou Xian was awake, clenching his fists and making a fuss.

The two of them looked at the little doll, as white as white jade, with love in their eyes.

They also discussed quietly for a while about how this child looked like Jiang Ling.

After seeing the child, he spoke a few words to Jiang Ling, and the two of them said goodbye. They were of low status and were outsiders, so it was inconvenient for them to stay long.

Jiang Ling failed to persuade them to stay, so she had to let Xiaojia send them back, saying that she would take the child to the courtyard to see them after she was out of confinement.

Jiang Ling had a boring time during the confinement period.

She was not allowed to go out, and was not allowed to get out of bed easily. She had to drink hot and cold water all day long. Jiang Ling felt like she was going to suffocate.

Fortunately, little Zhou Xian was well-behaved and cute. Zhou Jing'an had a wooden baby rocking bed placed in the inner room. He brought the child over so that Jiang Ling could enjoy the child for a long time.

But after a few days, Zhou Jing'an became more and more dissatisfied with the rocking bed.

The reason was simple: he felt that Jiang Ling had distanced herself from him because of this new little guy.

He complained aggrievedly, saying that Jiang Ling ignored him after having a son and was extremely biased.

Jiang Ling laughed helplessly, "He's still so young, of course he needs more care. Why are you still jealous of the child?"
