"No! What's so great about sons! If it weren't for the sake of this nation, I would really want a bunch of daughters, all as beautiful as you, wouldn't that be wonderful!"

"Dream on!"

Qin Kou'er smiled and gently punched his chest.

However, Qin Kou'er remembered Mei Yan's words: if she really had a daughter, could she return to the Qin family and become the city lord?!

Two months later, when Qin Kou'er was six months pregnant, Lan Linxue officially became the Crown Prince, and Qin Kou'er was named the Crown Princess. The wedding was to take place six months later.

Finally, when the spring breeze blew across the land again, Qin Kou'er's due date arrived.

"Ah—Lan Linxue, you bastard! I'll make you pay after I give birth!"

Qin Kou'er grabbed Lan Linxue's hair and shook it violently, her heart breaking.

Qin Kou'er began experiencing labor pains around midnight.

However, this child seemed to have inherited his father's personality; he would never come out without exhausting everyone else.

With only two weeks left, Lan Linxue was already on high alert, arranging for everyone to stay outside and take turns guarding the baby every night, fearing that the baby might be born suddenly.

Last night, in the middle of the night, when Qin Kou'er clutched her stomach and cried out in pain, Lan Linxue spun around on the ground three times, then forgot to put on a coat and ran out shirtless.

This made it clear to everyone that the character "蔻" was written on the prince's chest.

However, just as everyone started gossiping, Qin Kou'er's labor pains began.

Lan Linxue was forced to wear clothes by Shuanghua outside, and then she desperately tried to rush inside.

Everyone in the palace rushed over, even Lan Qingtian, who was already pregnant, came with her.

Seeing her son desperately trying to get into the house, Lan Shanyang shouted angrily, ordering someone to stop him.

In the end, Lan Linxue threatened to bang her head against the wall, and they couldn't stop him, so they let him in.

As soon as he got close to Qin Kou'er, she grabbed his hair and berated him for half the night!

Qin Kou'er was in excruciating pain during childbirth. She cried out all night, but by dawn, the baby still hadn't made a sound.

Finally, when the pain in her stomach seemed to subside, Jun Yannuo instructed the midwife to quickly feed Qin Kou'er something to help her prepare for the next push.

Before Qin Kou'er could even catch her breath, even more intense contractions began.

Qin Kou'er relied on her martial arts background to hold back her fainting.

The birth of this child was truly earth-shattering.

Lan Linxue was being held by the hair by Qin Kouer, and she didn't dare to breathe too loudly. Right now, as long as Qin Kouer could give birth to the child, she would be willing to let him go bald, let alone hold her hair!

"Kou'er! Kou'er! How about we don't have the baby? This child doesn't want to come out, so let's just keep him in my belly and not let him come out!"

Lan Linxue was now covered in sweat, and she started rambling incoherently while holding Qin Kou'er's hand.

"Bullshit! You try talking to him like that, see if he listens! Lan Linxue, you're a pig! Shut up right now! If you say another word, I'll kill you! Ah..."

Lan Linxue remained silent, but her expression was even more unpleasant than Qin Kou'er's.

Gradually, the sky darkened, and before I knew it, it had become gloomy.

A belated warm breeze drifted in, carrying a cloud.

Before long, it started raining heavily.

Qin Meiying looked up at the sky nervously and murmured, "Rain on a sunny day means a dragon has fallen to earth. It seems the child is about to be born! A true dragon emperor has descended to earth!"

Sure enough, in just a short while, while other places were still sunny, only this area was covered in dark clouds and thundered.

When the loudest clap of thunder sounded, a clear, bright cry came from inside the house.

Lan Shanyang jumped to her feet, her face beaming with joy: "She gave birth! She gave birth!"

Qin Meiying quickly stood up and walked over.

Just as a large group of people arrived at the door, the door opened.

Lan Linxue emerged, pale-faced, carrying a small baby and panting heavily.

"Father, it's a son! It's a son!"

After saying that, Lan Linxue's legs went weak and she almost sat down on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Lan Shanyang swiftly flew over and snatched the child away.

He glared angrily at his son and growled, "You better watch out! If you hurt my little grandson, I'll beat you to death!"

As she spoke, she smiled and looked at the little one in her arms who was still pouting and closing his eyes.

He quickly went to Qin Meiying's side, beaming with joy, and said, "Look at our little prince! How energetic he is!"

Qin Meiying happily took the child and showed him to Lan Qingtian and his wife, saying, "Our Lan family has a successor!"

Lan Qingtian grinned from ear to ear, then said to Shu Lingxi with a simple smile, "We'll be sons too from now on!"

Shu Lingxi gave Lan Qingtian a playful glare, then circled around Qin Meiying, and the two of them carried the child into the house together.

At this moment, Qin Kou'er had no strength left; her hair was plastered to her face, and she was covered in sweat.

He strained to keep his eyes open as Qin Meiying brought the child over, and weakly smiled as he called out, "Aunt!"

Qin Meiying quickly said, "Kou'er! You've worked so hard! Look at my little grandson, how handsome your son is!"

As she spoke, Qin Meiying gently placed the child next to Qin Kou'er.

Qin Kou'er turned slightly with all her might, glanced at the child who seemed to be asleep, and couldn't help but smile. She touched the soft skin with her hand and smiled contentedly.
