Chapter 73 Little Princess Changle
More than four months later, Ah Fei was finally about to give birth.
Zhou Huaiyan was so nervous that he kept walking around outside. He even went to a Buddhist temple to pray, even though he was not superstitious. However, the delivery room was not like the TV series. After hearing Ah Fei's screams of pain, all he could hear was a group of midwives shouting to push harder.
From morning to noon, more than two hours, after a crisp baby cry, Zhou Huaiyan's heart settled down.
——Finally born.
Before Zhou Huaiyan could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the baby crying and Ah Fei also crying. Zhou Huaiyan thought something had happened, and regardless of the advice of the people around him, he waved his sleeves and forced his way in.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Ah Fei covered her face, tears flowing out from between her fingers. This scene immediately gave Zhou Huaiyan a bad feeling. After all, Ah Fei didn't cry out when she was in the most pain of giving birth.
The young emperor thought there was something wrong with the child. After all, it was very possible that there would be some genetic problems when a hermaphrodite gave birth to a child. Before the birth, Zhou Huaiyan had thought about this problem. What if the child could not survive, or had a serious disease that was too serious to be seen by others...
Zhou Huaiyan was halfway through his thoughts when he was suddenly hugged by Ah Fei. The big cat was crying very sadly and his shoulders were shaking.
Next to them, a group of palace servants knelt on the ground, trembling. The leading middle-aged woman held a crying baby in her arms.
But at this time, Zhou Huaiyan had no time to check if the child was ill. The young king just hugged Ah Fei and patted his back. Before he could say a few words of comfort, he heard Ah Fei trembling and looking up.
"Your Majesty, I... my... child..."
Before he could finish his words, he burst into tears again.
Zhou Huaiyan was worried, and his bad premonition became stronger. He turned to look at Grandma Wen.
"Bring the child here, I want to see him."
"yes......"
“Don’t look!”
As soon as Ah Fei said this, Zhou Huaiyan and Wife were both stunned. The young king looked gloomy. He took a deep breath, as if he was preparing himself mentally, and then said to Ah Fei,
"It's okay, even if it's a child..."
Zhou Huaiyan looked at him with a firm gaze.
"I can bear it."
"Really?"
Ah Fei grabbed his clothes, her face full of tears.
"But your majesty..."
He trembled, and suddenly buried his face in Zhou Huaiyan's shoulder in grief and burst into tears.
"She is so ugly... She is really so ugly... How could I give birth to such an ugly person..."
Ah Fei has always felt that although she is not handsome, she is not ugly either. Moreover, Zhou Huaiyan is so handsome. If the two of them are together, the child they give birth to will definitely be very cute.
Can......
Just now, when the grandmother washed the baby and brought it to her, Ah Fei's heart full of expectation and tenderness disappeared in an instant.
Wrinkled, black and red, like a monkey.
It's so ugly!
Ah Fei was overwhelmed with grief and cried uncontrollably.
Zhou Huaiyan never expected: "......"
He suddenly had a new understanding of Ah Fei's obsession with looks. She even disliked her own child to such an extent.
Zhou Huaiyan waved for the midwife to come and looked at the crying child in the cradle.
The old woman didn't know whether the emperor liked it or not, and she didn't dare to show too much joy. She could only tremble as she carried the child over.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. It's a little princess."
"......girl?"
Zhou Huaiyan was stunned.
He originally thought that Ah Fei's gender was male and the chances of giving birth to a boy would be very high, but he didn't expect that it was a little girl.
Zhou Huaiyan blinked slowly and stretched out his hand.
"Come, give me a hug."
He had learned how to hold a baby in advance, so he was pretty steady. At this time, Ah Fei finally raised his head, but he was not looking at the child, but at Zhou Huaiyan.
He was afraid that Zhou Huaiyan would dislike it, after all... it was too ugly.
As Ah Fei said, it didn't look good at first glance, but Zhou Huaiyan first checked the child's limbs and facial features, and after finding no major problems, he took a closer look.
Although her hair is indeed wrinkled, my little girl has thick hair and eyelashes, a high nose bridge, and lips that are very similar to mine. Maybe she doesn't look so good now because she was just born, but fortunately she is healthy and has good facial features.
As Zhou Huaiyan looked at the baby in his arms, he suddenly developed a bit of a silly dad filter and liked the baby more and more.
"Not ugly, really pretty. Our daughter will be a great beauty in the future."
"......?"
Ah Fei was stunned. He looked at Zhou Huaiyan, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Although he was very sad, but...
"Your Majesty... you don't have to be so reluctant."
Ah Fei felt sad and regretful. She felt sad that her child was so ugly, but she was moved by Zhou Huaiyan and she went against her conscience to comfort him.
Zhou Huaiyan: “…”
He had never seen anyone abandon his own child so much.
In the end, the queen gave birth to a little princess. The emperor was very pleased and issued a general amnesty.
The princess was given the name Changle, the title Yongan, and the title of Princess Chang.
She was also the first princess in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty to be so pampered from birth.
Zhou Huaiyan knew that Ah Fei was in excellent physical condition, but he was also prepared for the long time that she would need care and recovery.
But he didn't expect that the first thing would be the rise...
The princes and princesses had their own wet nurses since childhood, and the concubines in the harem would not breastfeed in order to recover as quickly as possible and regain the emperor's favor. However, after giving birth, there will be a breastfeeding period no matter what. Ah Fei is no exception.
So strangely, everyone discovered that the emperor always had a faint smell of... milk on his body when he attended court these days?
For the next four months, Zhou Huaiyan started a hard life of taking care of the children, coaxing the cat, and working.
King Zhou Huailing of Yan thought that Zhou Huaiyan would be relieved after having a daughter, but he did not expect that once Zhou Huaiyan was busy, he would become even more restless. Later, King Yan was oppressed and lived directly in the palace, wishing that he could be split into two parts every quarter of an hour.
Little Thirteen did not escape either. His two brothers were busy, and he was the only one eating, drinking and having fun every day, so he was caught and brought to Yu's study again.
No knowledge of politics?
It doesn’t matter, teach me!
As long as you don’t die from learning, learn until you die!
Zhou Huaiyan will not let go of any laborer. He has calculated that Zhou Huaimin is now thirteen or fourteen years old. In another three or four years, he will be a tool again!
The ministers then witnessed something that had never happened in Zhou Dynasty history.
The two princes were summoned to the emperor's study every day, and then they went back with dark circles under their eyes, only to come back again before dawn the next day.
In short, the two princes seem to be busier than the emperor.
Zhou Huailing couldn't stand it any longer——
"You are the emperor, you should do these things!!!"
"Who will take care of the children?"
Zhou Huaiyan was holding his little daughter and feeding her milk spoonful by spoonful.
King Zhou Huailing of Yan was shocked.
"You are the emperor taking care of the child, can't the empress do the same???"
"How can you let someone who just gave birth take care of a child every day?"
Zhou Huaiyan looked at him as if he were a scumbag.
King Yan: “.......?!!”
"Can't we let the palace nurse take care of the baby???"
Zhou Huaiyan held the child and coaxed him skillfully. He looked up in surprise. In the end, the young father shook his head, looking like he didn't understand.
"You're not a good father."
The Prince of Yan, who has not yet married, said: "......"
He is not even a father!!!
Seeing his two brothers quarreling, Xiao Shisan has gotten used to it. He sits at the small table next to him and does nothing every day. Zhou Huaimin sighs deeply that his days of living here are numbered. In two years, he will be like his fourth brother, being exploited by his ninth brother every day.
Touch it for one day, it’s one day.
Anyway, he is still young, maybe he can be a little more useless, so that Brother Xiaojiu will feel that rotten wood cannot be carved and rotten mud cannot be propped up on the wall. Maybe then, he won't have to do anything.
Besides, Brother Xiaojiu is still young. After a few years, when there are a few more little princes and princesses, there will be no time to care about him. By then, Zhou Huaimin may be able to successfully realize Zhou Huaiyan's wish——
Live a life of leisure and wealth as a prince.
From then on, he woke up at noon, sought pleasure every night, and spent money like water.
Thinking of this, Little Thirteen listened to his two brothers quarreling, took a piece of red bean cake to eat, and closed his eyes comfortably.
[Yeah, as expected, the cakes in Yu's study are different. ]
......
Nine months later, the wrinkled, black and red little princess, who had been abandoned by her father Fei and cried until she died, has grown up.
Changle almost perfectly replicated Zhou Huaiyan's appearance, except that her eyes inherited Ah Fei's blue pupils.
Since she was four or five months old, Ah Fei found that her little daughter looked more and more like Zhou Huaiyan, and the big cat who had disliked her at first immediately changed sides. She would hug and kiss her every day and would not let go.
"Sure enough, our daughter is the cutest and the most beautiful!"
"ah!"
Changle was kissed so hard that she kept smiling foolishly, her emerald eyes sparkling.
Zhou Huaiyan, who knew the truth: "......"
Haha, it’s just a face control.
As soon as the nurse took the little princess away, the big cat immediately came over again, pressing its slightly swollen chest against the handsome king's arm, leaving a slight dent.
"Brother Huai Yan?"
“........”
Zhou Huaiyan froze at the familiar movement. He didn’t understand why the big cat’s lactation period was so long? ? ? ?
Didn’t I prescribe a prescription to stop...?
"Your Majesty, Changle is already nine months old..."
Ah Fei came over and bit the collar of the beautiful king. The big cat had been holding back for almost half a year and was about to go crazy because he couldn't bear it any longer.
"Your Majesty, have you given up on Ah Fei? Do you think it will be difficult to do it after she has given birth to a child? Then Your Majesty, give it a try. If you don't like it, you can change places."
Zhou Huaiyan's ears started burning.
"......Please calm down a bit."
The big cat sat on his legs and lowered his head to answer,
"Okay, Ah Fei, try your best, be firm...be restrained."
"......"
