Upon learning that the eldest prince had been born, Grand Tutor Mu and Xiao waited for two days, and were not allowed to formally request an audience until the third day in accordance with palace rules. Xiao personally made some nourishing soups and put them in the food boxes. She also made some clothes for the children. Although the palace had everything it needed, this was still a thoughtful gesture. Ever since Mu Ci became a male concubine, Ye An has been very kind to Xiao and Mu Taifu. If he was not afraid of causing trouble for Taifu's Mansion, he would have directly called them father-in-law and mother-in-law. Because the empress is the emperor's legal wife, this is actually beyond the rules, so Ye An plans to save the title until she is crowned as the empress. Even so, his warmth towards the Grand Tutor and his wife still made Xiao feel terrified.
Tutor Mu was fine as he could often see the emperor and the concubine. As a lady from outside the imperial court, it was not convenient for Xiao to enter the palace to seek an audience. She was still a little reserved in front of the emperor, especially when she learned that Ye Xiaoan was the emperor. She had previously wanted to match Ye An and Miss Jiang, which seemed to be a huge mistake.
Ye An was still lying on the dragon bed and it was not convenient for him to come out to meet them. Mu Ci held the little prince to show his parents. The child was still asleep. The Taifu and Xiao Shi were in tears and took turns holding the child. They almost quarreled over which of them the child looked like.
Xiao gave the clothes she had made herself, along with the food box, to Mu Ci. On the way into the palace, the food box was checked again and again, but Xiao had been keeping these clothes in her arms since they were made, and she washed them herself. There were many secrets in the palace, so one had to be especially careful with things given to the little prince. Xiao explained and reminded Mu Ci at the same time.
Master Mu took out a pair of silver bracelets for the child from his sleeves. The bracelets were wrapped with red ropes and hung with silver bells, which made crisp sounds when shaken.
"A-Li heard that the little prince was born, so he asked me to bring him here. He lost face in front of you and the emperor last time, so he was too embarrassed to come with me into the palace."
Mu Li now follows Jiang Jing around to practice medicine, and becomes more stable day by day. He was indeed trying to escape at first, but after encountering more things, he realized that he was just being too stubborn and that the emperor and his elder brother had done nothing wrong to him. He used to wish Ye Xiaoan well and wanted to be friends with Ye Xiaoan for life, so why can't he do that after knowing Ye Xiaoan's identity? You know, no matter who Ye Xiaoan likes, it has nothing to do with him after all.
Mu Li wanted to apologize and also wanted to see the newborn prince, but he didn't know where to start. He couldn't bring himself to do that, so he could only ask his father to send the carefully prepared gift.
Ye An was lying in the bedroom. Although he couldn't see Tutor Mu and his wife, Mu Ci sent him all the gifts and told him all the conversations with his parents. Ye An was very moved, especially since Mu Li had finally changed his mind. Deep down, he no longer had to worry about Mu Li. Ye An expressed his thanks in person and asked Mu Ci to convey them to him one by one.
Master Mu and Xiao couldn't stay for too long and left. The Queen Mother immediately sent someone to summon Mu Ci, because all the government and palace affairs had been thrown to her during this period. The Queen Mother was dissatisfied that she was exhausted while the Concubine Chen was accompanying the emperor to look after the children. The Queen Mother also wanted to see the little prince more when she was free. This trip was probably to shirk responsibility.
It can be said that the birth of the little prince also greatly eased the relationship between the Queen Mother and Concubine Chen.
The Queen Mother ordered that Mu Ci go to Changle Palace in person and order Wang Xingren to look after Ye An and that no mistakes be made. Ye An even laughed at him, saying that there was nothing wrong with just lying down, and he thought Mu Ci was making a big deal out of nothing.
After Mu Ci left, Ye An put the silver bracelet on Ye Xi and thought of the food box sent by Xiao. He had a bad taste in his mouth these past few days and Xiao didn't make any heavy food, but the food was just too fragrant and tempting. Ye An couldn't sleep well.
Ye An ordered Wang Xingren to open the lunch box, which contained vegetarian snacks, some refreshing side dishes, and a large bowl of fresh fish soup. Ye An can only eat liquid food, and he can drink some light soup and porridge made in the kitchenette. How can they be as fragrant as fish soup?
He doesn’t dare to touch the side dish, but at least he can have some soup, right?
Wang Xingren could not resist the emperor's request and was forced to test the soup. The fish soup had been placed in the food box and was still warm, just right for drinking. Ye An could not wait to taste a little bit, and then a little bit more, praising Xiao's cooking skills...
When Mu Ci came back from Changle Palace, Ye An had just drunk all the fish soup. His lips were greasy and he didn't have time to wipe them.
Mu Ci found it a little funny. This cheating was too obvious, so he immediately summoned the imperial physician. After examining the emperor's pulse for a long time, the physician said that the emperor was in very good health. He also lifted the emperor's ban and allowed him to eat light meals.
Ye An quickly ate the remaining side dishes and touched his chest happily after finishing. They were so delicious.
Nothing happened for a while, but at night, something went wrong.
Ye An was awakened by a sudden pain in his sleep. The pain was not in the wound, but in his chest which suddenly swelled as if it was going to explode, and it hurt so much when touched.
But to outsiders, it was neither red nor swollen, and there was no sign of anything wrong.
Ye An cried out in pain, and Mu Ci hurriedly sent someone to summon the imperial physician. There was another imperial physician on duty at night, who rushed over and took the emperor's pulse. He was in a terrible state!
The emperor was howling in pain, and the concubine was still waiting with a cold face. The imperial physician came back to his senses and asked, "What medicine did the emperor take today? What did he eat?"
The eunuch remembered everything clearly. After he gave the instructions, the imperial physician frowned and thought again and again. There was nothing wrong with the food and the medicine, the only thing left was the fish soup.
Although I have never encountered this before, if the same situation happened to a woman, wouldn’t it be…
"Your Majesty, you are not ill, I am afraid your milk is swollen."
When the imperial physician said this himself, he seemed to be frightened.
Ye An, Mu Ci: "......"
Can men also have breasts?
Ye An was in so much pain that he wanted to scratch the wall. He didn't care whether he could get pregnant or not. He had already given birth to a child, so why should he care so much!
Ye An hurriedly asked: "Imperial Physician, what should we do?"
The previous emperor and other emperors had never suffered from pain, so not every imperial physician could think of milk swelling. The imperial physician during the day obviously did not think about it. It was not easy for the physician in front of him to think of it, but he had never dealt with similar cases. The royal family has a special physique. Can they use medicine to stop milk production?
The imperial physician was a cautious person. He said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I can prescribe some analgesic and tranquilizing medicine, but I'm afraid it won't stop the pain immediately... Your Majesty, I'll go back and check the medical books..."
The imperial physician quickly prescribed the medicine and slipped away. Ye An was gasping in pain when his wet nurse happened to be carrying the little prince into the palace. Upon hearing that the emperor was unwell, the wet nurse thought that perhaps she could help.
This wet nurse was selected by the Queen Mother from among several wet nurses based on the little prince's reaction to breastfeeding and how diligently she took care of the little prince. Her surname is Wang, and she has given Mu Ci a lot of private guidance, most of which was very useful. Mu Ci was desperate and told the wet nurse the truth.
The nurse laughed: "It's just a small matter. Most women in the countryside will feel this way after giving birth. If you feed the baby yourself, it will get better immediately..."
Mu Ci: “…”
The wet nurse was stunned after she said this. Even the noble lady couldn’t feed the child herself, so this was the emperor. Could the emperor feed the child himself? Of course not. If she could, why would we need her?
The wet nurse knelt down and apologized, saying that she had said it without meaning it. The emperor could drink some medicine to stop milk production, but he should not drink fish soup or the like while taking the medicine.
Mu Ci finally realized that it was the fish soup that caused the trouble. He rubbed his brows and sent the wet nurse away, but he found an excuse to keep Ye Xi.
Ye An also heard what the wet nurse said and looked at Mu Ci with a red face.
Mu Ci hesitated and said, "Xiao An, if you really can't bear it..."
Rather than the imperial physician who was unable to relieve the pain, Mu Ci was now more willing to believe what the wet nurse said.
Ye An was in so much pain that she felt like she was dying. Tears were welling up in her eyes. The pain of her breasts swelling was even more painful than giving birth. Ye An couldn't bear it any longer and whispered, "I, I'll try."
Anyway, things have come to this point, the child has been born, and there have been misunderstandings. It seems that there is nothing wrong with giving it a try.
Mu Ci put Ye Xi in his arms and flicked the soles of the little prince's feet with his fingers. The little prince was sleeping soundly but was suddenly woken up and started crying.
Ye An undressed tremblingly, remembering that Mu Ci was right in front of him, he felt so ashamed that he turned his back in shame and anger. It's really strange, why is she so shy even though she has done everything before.
"Brother Aci, you are not allowed to look at this!!"
Mu Ci: “…”
Mu Ci coughed lightly: "I won't watch it, you better be careful."
The little prince was still crying, and Ye An hurriedly got ready and hugged the little prince.
In fact, he was very suspicious whether the imperial physician was speaking nonsense. Although his breasts were swollen for a while during pregnancy, he still had breasts that were truly flat. And even if he really did have them, the little prince was so young, would it matter?
But he had no other choice but to give it a try.
The crying little prince seemed to sense something and acted on instinct like last time. Ye An warned himself not to throw the little prince away, and gritted his teeth to endure the unfamiliar discomfort.
The little prince soon calmed down.
From Ye An's perspective, he could hear the child swallowing rapidly. Ye An was shocked. Is there really an airport?
But if not, the little prince would have cried a long time ago!
The little prince was still young, and sucking was very strenuous for a newborn baby, so he fell asleep in a short while.
But now, the swelling and pain have been relieved to a great extent. It seems that the wet nurse was right.
Mu Ci also heard the little prince swallowing. When the sound stopped, he estimated that the child had fallen asleep, and then asked, "Better?"
Ye An nodded and handed Ye Xi to Mu Ci without saying a word. Mu Ci was a little surprised by his attitude, perhaps Ye An was still shy.
Mu Ci personally sent Ye Xi back to the wet nurse, and said vaguely that the little prince had eaten too much and asked the wet nurse to take care of it.
Wet nurse: “…”
The wet nurse had no choice but to pretend that she knew nothing about it.
Ye An still couldn't sleep. After Mu Ci came back, Ye An leaned on his shoulder, was stunned for a while, and said pitifully: "Brother Ci, I still feel pain..."
Mu Ci asked, "Isn't it already healed? Why does it still hurt?"
Ye An felt so much pain that it sounded like a mosquito buzzing: "I'd better stand aside, ah ah ah..."
Because what the little prince could do was so limited, the pain on the other side could not be relieved, making it even more painful.
In fact, the wet nurse is the one who should be asked. Mu Ci turned over and sat up, wanting to ask again, but Ye An held his hand.
"Brother Aci, please don't go. I am dying of pain from asking so many questions... Can you come and help me?"
Mu Ci didn't understand for a moment: "How...how can I help you?"
Ye An was in so much pain that he lost all his rationality and became furious: "Whatever Dou Dou does, you do the same! You...you are not worse than Dou Dou, are you?"
Mu Ci: “…”
How can I accept being questioned as being inferior to a newborn baby?
Mu Ci's eyes darkened immediately: "Who is not as good as me? Wait until you have tried it first, then tell me."
