Why aren't you all saying anything? Has something happened to the child?

Seeing that neither Gu Lin nor Gu Qingyan spoke, Jiang Yu immediately became anxious and grabbed Gu Lin's wrist, "Tell me quickly, tell me quickly."

"The child is fine."

Gu Lin was startled by Jiang Yu's actions. "I just... I just forgot what the child looks like."

Seeing that Jiang Yu remained silent, Gu Qingyan, unusually, spoke up to defend Gu Lin.

"Mother, it's not Father's fault. The newborn child looks like a monkey, and it's really hard to tell what he looks like."

Okay, this is another one who doesn't remember what the little guy looks like.

Jiang Yu looked at the father and son in front of her with some helplessness, but she was still clearly worried. "I want to see the child."

"Granny, go and bring the child over."

Upon hearing this, Granny Ling smiled and curtsied, "The young master is being watched over by the Marquis now. This old servant will go and bring the young master over for you to see."

Is my elder brother keeping watch?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu looked anxiously toward the door. Not long after, Bai Qian came in carrying the baby. Jiang Yu's gaze was fixed on the yellow swaddling clothes and she couldn't look away.

"Your Majesty, look at the little prince, he's so handsome."

The swaddled baby was handed to Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu looked at the little guy with his eyes closed, then raised her head blankly, "He really looks like a monkey."

"puff--"

Bai Qian couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I almost forgot, Your Majesty has never seen a newborn child. This is what a newborn child looks like. The little prince is already born exceptionally well."

This isn't Jiang Yu's fault. She was in a coma for over a month when she gave birth to Gu Qingyan, and she wasn't in the capital when Jiang Yao arrived, so she really hadn't seen the newborn child.

Upon hearing Bai Qian's words, Jiang Yu looked down at the swaddling clothes again.

A warm feeling washed over her; this was the child she had carried for ten months and given birth to.

"It seems... that he resembles his elder brother somewhat."

Especially the eyebrows, eyes, and mouth.

"Your Majesty is right. I also noticed that the little prince looks a bit like the Marquis. They say that a nephew resembles his uncle, and it's certainly true." Bai Qian looked at the little guy, her heart softening like a spring.

"Is your brother alright?" Jiang Yu hugged the little one in her arms tightly. "And Ling Ku, they faced many dangers on this trip."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, everything is fine."

Bai Qian knew about Ling Ku's situation, but she didn't dare tell Jiang Yu at this time, for fear of delaying Jiang Yu's postpartum recovery.

"Mother, please give my younger brother a name."

Ever since the yellow swaddle appeared, Gu Qingyan couldn't help but stare at the little one inside.

This is his younger brother, born of the same mother, who is the person closest to him besides his father and mother.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu pursed her lips, exchanged a glance with Gu Lin, and then smiled.

"We want Ayan to choose the name."

This was something she had discussed with Gu Lin long ago; Gu Qingyan would name the child after it was born.

......

"I?"

Gu Qingyan could hardly believe his ears. "Children are named by their elders. I... I can't name my younger brother."

“Your father and I will grow old one day, and this little one may be the one who stays with you the longest, so your father and I hope that you will name him.” Jiang Yu’s words struck Gu Qingyan’s heart like a thunderbolt. “Besides, you are the emperor, and it is the little one’s blessing that you can name him.”

"Then let's call him... Gu Qingchen. He was born in the early morning. The current emperor is his elder brother, the retired emperor and the empress dowager are his parents, and the Marquis of Dingyuan and his wife are his maternal uncle and aunt. His status is extremely noble, and he deserves the name Chen."

"Ah Chen..." Jiang Yu murmured softly, shaking the little one in her arms, "Ah Chen, from now on you will be called Ah Chen."

Gu Lin also reached out and stroked the swaddling clothes. "Gu Qingchen, not bad."

Gu Qingyan immediately felt a surge of warmth in his chest, a sense of satisfaction from being trusted by his parents.

"Welcome the will and draft the decree."

"I am overjoyed to have gained a younger brother. I hereby bestow upon him the title of Prince Chen, and next year his taxes will be reduced by 10%, so that all under heaven may rejoice."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yingzhi knelt on the ground, his heart trembling slightly. This young master had been bestowed the title of Prince Chen right after birth...

After speaking, Gu Qingyan looked at Jiang Yu with some anticipation, "Mother, may I hug him?"

When Gu Qingyan took the child, his movements were a little clumsy, but his expression was extremely serious. "Achen, I am your older brother. I taught you before."

Upon hearing Gu Qingyan's words, Bai Qian's lips twitched. No way... The Emperor is giving lessons to the young prince?

The image of Gu Qingyan reading aloud to Jiang Yu's stomach flashed through Bai Qian's mind, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Just then, the little one in the swaddling clothes smiled slightly.

"Mother, he smiled."

Seeing that Jiang Yu and Gu Lin couldn't help but look on with curiosity, Bai Qian, who was standing to the side, was completely speechless. What newborn baby would smile?

Left with no other choice, Bai Qian gestured for Granny Ling to leave the room, leaving the family of four inside alone. If she stayed any longer, she really wouldn't be able to resist rolling her eyes.

"Mother, why isn't my little brother hungry?"

"No, Mother, why is my brother's breathing so light?"

"Mother, when will my little brother become fair and chubby?"

Gu Qingyan's voice kept coming from inside the room, and finally, Gu Lin couldn't hold back any longer.

She put the little guy back in Jiang Yu's arms, then grabbed Gu Qingyan and threw him out of the house, saying, "You're too noisy, you're disturbing your mother's rest."

"you!"

Gu Qingyan angrily pounded on the door, "At least give me A-Chen!"

A few breaths later, Gu Qingyan held the swaddled baby, and the two brothers looked as if they had been abandoned by their heartless parents.

"Ah Chen, your father is just that annoying. You'll understand later."

......

“Ayan is only worried about Achen,” Jiang Yu said coquettishly. “You, as his father, don’t even say you care about Achen.”

"You lost a lot of energy during this childbirth, you need to recover properly." Gu Lin covered Jiang Yu with a blanket. "The mother Gu has been drawn out, and Mei Chu took it away to study it."

Jiang Yu paused for a moment upon hearing this, "This time, being able to lure out the mother Gu wasn't just a matter of heaven helping me; many other people were also helping me..."

Where is Pei Zhi?

"She was too tired and went back to rest." Gu Lin was extremely grateful when he mentioned Pei Zhi. "We owe her a lot this time, otherwise we wouldn't know how to lure out the mother Gu."

It was rare for Gu Lin to feel so grateful to someone.

“Yes, speaking of Pei Zhi, Pei Jian…” Jiang Yu’s eyes darkened. “Before, I was controlled by him because of the Gu poison in my body. Now that I have successfully given birth to A-Chen, we are no longer afraid of him.”

Jiang Yu now harbors boundless hatred for Pei Jian.

“Ayu is right. Pei Jian hasn’t returned to Longyou yet.” Gu Lin lowered his eyes. “In that case, let’s make sure he can’t go back to Longyou.”
