The emperor couldn't help but interrupt, "Mother, I think 'Jiang La' is good, it's quite impressive! I can tell right away that this child will be a powerful figure in the future!" There was a hint of teasing and expectation in the emperor's eyes. He seemed to think that this name would make the child full of dominance and courage in his future life.
Su Jinli and Jiang Yan exchanged a glance, a hint of a smile flickering in their eyes, and they couldn't help but laugh out loud. The Queen Mother glared at the Emperor and feigned anger, saying, "Nonsense! Jinli, don't listen to him. This child is always making trouble." Although the Queen Mother blamed the Emperor, her tone was full of doting. After all, the Emperor had come up with such an ingenious name out of love for the child.
Su Jinli looked at the names on the paper, lost in thought. She carefully savored the meaning of each name, pondering which would best suit her baby. After a moment, she looked up, a gentle glint in her eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, I think 'Jiang Yan' is a good name. It symbolizes peace and prosperity, and a peaceful and tranquil world. I hope your baby will live in a peaceful and harmonious world and have a smooth life." Su Jinli's voice was gentle but firm, as if she was offering a beautiful wish to the unborn child.
After hearing this, Jiang Yan nodded in agreement and said, "Madam is right. The name 'Jiang Yan' has both depth and beautiful meaning. It is indeed very suitable." Jiang Yan knew Su Jinli's thoughts very well. She hoped that her child could stay away from the disputes and sufferings of the world and live a peaceful and happy life.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction and nodded, saying, "Okay! Let's call him 'Jiang Yan'! It's a good name, and I'm satisfied with it." The Queen Mother approved of Su Jinli's choice very much. She believed that this name would definitely bring good luck to the child.
Seeing this, the emperor curled his lips and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll listen to you. But the nickname is 'Chili'! It can be regarded as a commemoration of Jinli's heroic deeds in repelling the bandits." There was a trace of childish stubbornness on the emperor's face. He felt that the nickname "Chili" would allow the child to remember his mother's bravery and become a brave and fearless person.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh again after hearing this. The whole room was filled with laughter, and a warm atmosphere permeated every corner. Su Jinli gently stroked her belly, her heart filled with anticipation for the future. She seemed to have seen her baby growing up healthy and happy under the love and care of everyone. She would never again experience the suffering of the world like she had in her previous life, struggling to survive in loneliness and hardship. At this moment, she was immersed in this happiness, knowing that she was so lucky to have such a warm family and a lovely baby who was about to be born. She secretly vowed to give her baby a growing environment full of love and care, so that he could thrive in a happy atmosphere.
Days passed in warmth and anticipation. Su Jinli's belly grew bigger and bigger, and her movements became more and more inconvenient. However, her face was always filled with a happy smile, because she knew that every day that passed, she was one step closer to meeting her baby. Jiang Yan's care for her became more and more meticulous. He would take time out every day to accompany her, tell her interesting stories from the court, and make her happy. Young Marquis Su and Su Qingyao also often came to visit her, bringing her all kinds of novel toys or sharing some interesting stories in life. The entire prime minister's mansion was immersed in the joy of welcoming a new life, and everyone was preparing for the upcoming birth of this little life.
The maids busily sewed exquisite clothes for the baby, each stitch imbued with their love and blessings. The servants meticulously decorated the nursery, keeping it spotlessly clean and filled with charming little ornaments, creating a warm and comfortable environment. Princess Shou'an often visited Su Jinli, bringing small gifts she had made herself. She was filled with anticipation for her unborn child, constantly imagining playing with him.
As the due date approached, Su Jinli felt a mixture of nervousness and excitement. She imagined the baby's appearance, wondering whether he would resemble her more or Jiang Yan more. Jiang Yan was even more nervous than she was, constantly monitoring her physical condition and arranging a midwife and various delivery supplies in advance, fearing any mistakes.
Finally, on a sunny day, Su Jinli felt a sudden pain in her abdomen, knowing her baby was about to enter the world. Jiang Yan immediately became anxious and quickly sent for a midwife. The midwife arrived quickly, and Jiang Yan paced anxiously outside the room, silently praying for the safety of Su Jinli and the baby. He alternately glanced at the closed door, then up at the sky, hoping that the heavens would protect them and their child.
In the room, Su Jinli gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain of childbirth. But her heart was full of anticipation for the baby, and this anticipation filled her with strength. The midwife kept encouraging her and told her to try harder. After a long ordeal, a crisp baby cry broke the silence of the room. When Jiang Yan heard the cry, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and a relieved smile appeared on his face. The midwife walked out of the room with the child in her arms, smiling and saying, "Congratulations, sir, it's a little boy, and both mother and child are safe!"
Jiang Yan hurried into the room and saw Su Jinli, who was frail but full of happiness. His heart was filled with heartache and gratitude. He walked to the bedside, held Su Jinli's hand, and said softly, "Madam, you have worked hard." Su Jinli raised her head slightly, looked at Jiang Yan, her eyes full of love, and said, "Our Yan'er is finally here."
Upon hearing the news that Su Jinli had successfully given birth to a little boy, everyone came to congratulate her. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor also personally visited Su Jinli and the little boy at the Prime Minister's residence. The Empress Dowager looked at the swaddled little boy with a kind smile on her face and said, "This child is so handsome! He will definitely have a great future." The Emperor smiled and said, "This little guy will definitely be as brave as his mother and as smart as his father."
