Ye An slept very soundly, without even dreaming. The long wait was left to the people who were guarding him. It seemed that he had not slept so comfortably for a long time, so that when he woke up suddenly and faced the old faces of the imperial doctors, he didn't know what was wrong with him.
"Your Majesty, congratulations, you have given birth to a prince, and he is in good health!"
An imperial physician spoke for everyone.
Ye An remembered that he was giving birth to a child, and his bulging belly had become flat when he lay down.
...Shit, she really gave birth after just a nap?
Ye An subconsciously wanted to sit up and look for his child, but his body felt heavy and he felt a dull pain in his abdomen when he exerted force.
"Xiao An, you can't use too much strength for now."
Mu Ci accompanied him throughout the whole process, touching his cheek with a smile. Ye An turned his head in surprise. He could feel someone holding him up. He didn't expect it to be Mu Ci. Because of the medication, he not only had no strength in his body, but his nose also stopped working.
"Brother Aci didn't wait long, did he?"
Ye An didn't realize that he had been lying there for two full hours.
Mu Ci smiled: "Soon. We will see each other soon indeed."
The emperor has regained consciousness. The imperial doctors gather together and take turns taking the emperor's pulse. After the birth of the royal heir, there is one last very important task, which is to wake up the sleeping emperor and check his pulse.
After several imperial physicians examined the emperor, they confirmed that he was in good health and nothing serious was wrong with him. He had gone through the birthing process safely and all that was left was for him to rest well.
After the imperial doctors finished hanging a long list of book bags, they retreated one by one. Before Ye An and Mu Ci could exchange a few words, the Queen Mother could not wait to come in to visit, holding the bright yellow baby in her arms.
"Your Majesty, come and see Doudou."
The Queen Mother said excitedly. This is Ye An’s first child, the eldest son of the emperor, and also the grandson of the empress dowager. Ever since she learned that the child's name had been chosen in advance, the empress dowager had not even got a nickname, and had been unhappy. But as soon as the little prince was born, the empress dowager started calling him by the name "doudou" and even to Ye An himself, there was a hint of showing off.
Ye An and Mu Ci smiled at each other.
Mu Ci saw Ye Xi being born with his own eyes, so he naturally knew what the child looked like, but Ye An had never seen it.
The empress dowager brought the swaddling clothes closer so that the injured Ye An could see it more easily. Ye An opened his eyes wide with anticipation and excitement, and saw a baby lying in the swaddling clothes. The baby had a slightly dark complexion, a flat nose, and his hair stuck to his scalp, sleeping with his eyes closed.
Ye An had seen Su Xie when he was one month old, so he was mentally prepared for how Ye Xi would look like when she was just born. Even though she was his biological child, he had to be honest: she was really ugly.
The Queen Mother and Mu Ci looked very proud. Ye An was too embarrassed to say that he couldn't even tell who the ugly little prince looked like.
Obviously, he and Mu Ci both have beautiful double eyelids, but Ye Xi has single eyelids, very light eyebrows, and a very small mouth. If Mu Ci hadn't been there in person, it would be impossible for the baby to be taken away by mistake. Ye An would have doubted whether the baby was his.
As soon as the Queen Mother saw Ye An's expression, she knew that this silly son disliked her precious grandson. She said unhappily, "I told you long ago that they are all like this when they are just born. They will get better as they grow up. Doudou looks exactly like you when you were a child. The late emperor and I didn't dislike you."
Ye An: “…”
Mu Ci nodded and agreed seriously: "They are indeed very similar in their eyebrows and eyes."
The empress dowager didn't like Mu Ci at first, but because Mu Ci had saved the emperor and took the initiative to accompany him during childbirth, the empress dowager changed her opinion of Mu Ci a lot. She even lowered herself and took the initiative to talk to Mu Ci about the appearance of the eldest prince. In the end, she sighed that great minds think alike.
No matter how Ye An listened, he felt that his status had declined since the birth of this cub.
The little prince had been sleeping since he was born, and suddenly he let out a startling cry. Ye An and Mu Ci were in a panic, and the queen mother smiled and said, "He must be hungry."
The royal family did not have to take care of the children themselves. The empress dowager had already prepared several wet nurses with clean backgrounds and they were waiting outside the house. As soon as the little prince cried, they would immediately run in to pay their respects and take the child away to feed him.
The Queen Mother went out to see the child, leaving Ye An and Mu Ci in the room. Mu Ci brought the medicine that the imperial physician had given before leaving and fed it to Ye An one spoonful at a time.
After drinking the bitter medicine, Mu Ci gave neither candied fruit nor chicken legs. Ye An's eyes turned red from the bitterness and he looked at Mu Ci pitifully.
Mu Ci said cruelly: "The imperial physician said that you cannot eat for one day."
But Ye An looked really pitiful. She had just given birth to a child, and now she looked like a wronged child.
Mu Ci thought for a moment, took out a piece of candied fruit, placed it at Ye An's lips, and allowed him only to lick it. The chicken legs were also peeled, but I didn’t dare to give it to him at this moment.
Ye An only tasted a little and the candied fruit was immediately confiscated, but no matter what, it’s better than nothing!
Ye An smacked his lips, finally feeling the bitterness subside, and looked at Mu Ci: "Brother Ci, aren't you going to see the child?"
Mu Ci said: "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Right now it's mainly you."
Although Ye An's physical condition was not bad, the imperial physician had told him that the emperor needed someone by his side. The medicine they prescribed had analgesic effects and must be taken when the time came. Mu Ci planned to stay by his side.
"Go to sleep, you are tired too."
Ye An nodded and habitually wanted to hug Mu Ci's arm, but he couldn't move. He couldn't do such a simple action and could only worry.
The next moment, Mu Ci put his arm in his arms.
Ye An's eyes were filled with tears. He now felt that giving birth was not scary at all. Although it was indeed painful, it was not unbearable.
As long as the people he cares about also care about him, a little suffering and pain is nothing.
"Brother Aci, let's have another daughter next time."
Maybe if it were a daughter, she wouldn't be so ugly.
Mu Ci: “…”
Ye Xiaoan's attitude towards having children changes drastically every few days and before and after giving birth.
Mu Ci was very experienced, and smiled, "First take care of your body, and let nature take its course."
Because of the medicine, Ye An soon fell into a deep sleep.
Not long after, a eunuch arranged by the empress dowager came to the outside of the palace and politely asked Mu Ci to go back to Zhaoyang Palace to rest. The emperor had just given birth and they must not have sex during this period. Mu Ci said it was not necessary and still lay down next to Ye An and took a short rest.
Anyway, the entire pregnancy period was pretty much like this, so Mu Ci had become very sensible.
Ye An recovered quickly and was able to take some liquid food the next day. On the third day, most of the analgesics in the prescription had been removed, and the imperial physician advised him to walk a little with support. This seems to be very simple, but walking with an injury can be so painful that it makes you cry. The imperial physician said that persistence is extremely beneficial to recovery. Fortunately, it is really only a few steps, and after the pain for a while, you can lie down and rest. You can get through it by gritting your teeth.
Ye An was so quiet that he could barely contain his breath. He hugged the quilt and sighed that giving birth to a child was really not easy.
These past few days, Ye Xi only cried when she was hungry or needed a diaper change, and the rest of the time she slept. The wet nurse and the eunuchs would feed the little prince, clean him up, and send him to Ye An.
Due to Ye An’s current physical condition, he is not able to hold the baby by himself. He can only touch the little prince’s hands and feet, and secretly poke the child’s face with his fingers. Ye Xi weighed a little over 6 kilograms when she was born. She was not too big, and even her cheeks were thin. The Queen Mother also said that it would take a few days for her to become plump and white.
Ye An was recuperating in bed, and he had plenty of time to carefully observe the child he had given birth to. When Ye Xi fell asleep, the corners of his mouth drooped and his little face looked inexplicably serious. Ye An vaguely felt that this cold temperament was a bit like the elder brother Mu whom he first met, but this temperament looked very masculine when it appeared on Mu Ci, but it was out of place when it appeared on a newborn baby.
Ye An held back his laughter, then lifted the swaddling clothes to take a peek, and saw the penis which was only slightly bigger than a fingernail. He couldn't help laughing so hard that his wound hurt.
Perhaps because she heard his laughter, Ye Xi woke up. It was the first time that Ye An saw the little prince open his eyes. He had a pair of dark and lively black eyes. Although he did not have beautiful double eyelids, his eyelashes were very long.
Something in Ye An's heart softened, and he thought that no matter how ugly she was, she was still his baby.
"Doudou? Xiaoxi? Xier?"
Ye An tried calling the child various names.
"Let's call one first, so he won't be confused about the situation."
Mu Ci walked over with a smile, leaned over and looked at their child with Ye An. A family should be neat and tidy.
When Ye An was resting, he privately asked the wet nurse many things about the child, and she would take care of the child when necessary, which was what the wet nurse told him.
Ye An followed Mu Ci's advice and called Dou Dou several times. He could use the name Ye Xi when he entered school.
The child may have heard it and gave them a warm smile.
Ye An was so excited that he held the child's hand. Then the most incredible thing happened. Ye Xi's little hand suddenly exerted force and grabbed one of Ye An's fingers.
It was wonderful, being held in that tiny hand, I felt like I owned the whole world.
Ye An asked Mu Ci to pick up the child and put him in his arms. Babies who drink milk will have the scent of milk on their bodies. Ye Xi could already smell the sweet scent of milk just a few days after she was born.
Mu Ci taught Ye An to wash his fingers clean and put them to Ye Xi's lips. Ye Xi immediately held Ye An's fingers in her mouth and started sucking on them with her cheeks puffed up and down. However, after a while, nothing came out, so she pursed her lips and wanted to cry.
Mu Ci: “…”
Ye An endured the pain and imitated the wet nurse, hugging and rocking him gently, coaxing him softly.
The little prince was not very hungry yet, and was coaxed into wanting to sleep. He gently arched back and forth like he was lying in his wet nurse's arms, trying to drink milk and sleep at the same time. For a newborn baby, it is instinctive to drink milk and seek milk.
Ye An felt a pain in his chest and looked at the child in his arms in disbelief.
Because he had to apply medicine frequently, he didn't tie his middle shirt for convenience, and ended up being pounced on by Ye Xi.
"How could you do that, little bastard!"
Ye An's face felt hot, he screamed, and his body froze, not daring to move.
Mu Ci had not expected such an accident to happen. He held back his laughter and quickly picked up the daring little prince. His ears turned a little red.
