Chapter 664 Princess or Prince? Naming!
Upon entering the courtyard, the midwives were all in a daze.
"So His Majesty is such a gentle person."
"Yes, he is so tender towards the princess. Look at how much he cares for her, I'm moved for the princess."
"I never expected His Majesty to have such a temperament. Won't the people be blessed from now on?"
"His Majesty is kind and gentle, a capable general, and also tall and handsome. Can this relationship... last?"
"Who cares about the future? Isn't it enough that I'm deeply in love with the Princess right now?"
"That's right. From now on, the princess will no longer be a princess... and His Majesty will naturally no longer be her alone. There are countless women in the world eyeing His Majesty's empty harem."
The sparrow grew increasingly annoyed, and let out a low growl: "You all think you're too long to live, don't you?"
"What kind of place is this, where you old fogies are allowed to gossip about His Majesty and the Princess?!"
"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you just made a contribution! Why do you dare to say whatever you want!"
"Guards, take them all away!"
The midwives were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.
On such a joyous occasion, the sparrows would naturally not kill them.
But if they aren't locked up and properly punished, they'll really cause trouble.
After the people were taken away, Qin Ling said, "They are all ignorant women from the border. Why did Miss Que'er get so angry?"
"Soon they will see that His Majesty is not kind and gentle at all, but is clearly a living devil."
Que'er glared fiercely at Qin Ling: "You still want to stay, don't you?"
"Don't let your impending freedom turn into a disaster because of what you say, and then everything falls apart. That would be a bad deal."
Qin Ling's lips twitched.
With a flick of his sleeve, he quickly grabbed Li Yunchu and strode away.
Li Yunchu: "It's not that it's impossible..."
Qin Ling yelled at her, "Shut up!"
Li Yunchu angrily pushed him away: "I think you're getting more and more outrageous! Don't forget, Luo'er is my own niece!"
"If you yell at me again, I'll have her teach you a lesson."
Oh?
Has someone backing you up now?
He's getting more and more assertive these days.
Where is that former demure, submissive, gentle, and considerate woman?
Qin Ling was so angry his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
No, he had to get his wife out of this vortex of power and wealth as soon as possible to prevent her from sinking deeper and deeper, otherwise he would never have another chance to turn his life around.
Li Qingluo slept straight through until 1:15 AM the next day.
When she was fully awake, she opened her eyes and saw Duan Rongshi sitting on the floor under the bed, propping his head up and staying by her side.
Li Qingluo couldn't help but rub her eyes.
Once she realized it was real, she immediately grabbed a shawl from the side and gently draped it over his shoulders.
However, this very action startled him awake.
Seeing that she had already stood up, Duan Rongshi immediately reached out and pulled her into his arms.
"Luo'er, you're finally awake."
His voice was hoarse and low; it was clear that he was extremely exhausted.
Li Qingluo also hugged Duan Rongshi tightly.
When I met him, I found it unbelievable.
Did he run all the way back?
She could almost imagine the hardships he had endured on such a long journey.
Suddenly, a feeling of heartache welled up in my heart for him.
"Ah Shi, why are you back?"
How long did you stay by my bedside?
How did I fall asleep?
"By the way, how's the battle going? Did we win? Did everyone return safely? Is the Third Wolf King dead or alive? Did we capture him alive?"
Li Qingluo was naturally full of energy again as soon as she woke up.
As she spoke, she couldn't help but become emotional, and Duan Rongshi patted her head helplessly.
Which one do you want me to answer first?
"It seems you are indeed alright."
The expression on his face finally relaxed.
"Don't worry, we've won another great victory."
"Not only did they capture the three wolf kings alive, but they also took five thousand prisoners."
"We've won another great victory this time."
"You've done a truly outstanding job this time!"
"Luo'er, your achievements will be recorded in history, and for thousands of generations, people will know that I have a brave and resourceful empress like you."
Empress?
Li Qingluo lowered her eyes and did not reply.
Instead, she asked urgently about something more important: "Where is the child?"
"Ah Shi, I haven't seen the child yet."
"By the way, did we have a daughter or a son?"
She desperately wanted to see the little life that had been with her for nine months, day and night.
Now that her stomach is suddenly empty, Li Qingluo still feels like it's all a dream, not real.
My heart felt empty as well.
Duan Rongshi's expression froze: "This...I..."
Li Qinglu guessed what was going on, and then her eyes widened in shock: "You haven't seen our child yet, have you?"
Duan Rongshi coughed lightly, his face showing unease, and clenched his fist: "What's the harm?"
"Luo'er, you are safe and sound. I will go with you to see him."
Li Qing was furious: "Ashi, although you care about me and are concerned about me, the child is our flesh and blood. You leave him all alone. Doesn't he feel sorry for you?"
"After he was born, he had a mother who loved to sleep and a father who ignored him."
"Neither of us has ever held him, and we don't even know what he looks like or what his gender is."
"It hurts my heart to think about it."
"Quick, bring the child in!"
Li Qingluo gave an urgent, low shout, and the person guarding the door immediately responded.
Duan Rongshi frowned slightly.
They've only just been born, and they're already trying to take him away?
Before long, Granny Zheng and Que'er brought in the wrapped baby themselves.
"Your Highness, you've finally woken up."
With tears in her eyes, Granny Zheng first took a deep look at Li Qingluo before placing the child beside her.
Li Qingluo nodded to Granny Zheng before finally looking down at the baby in the swaddling clothes.
Her fair face was flushed with pink, and her black hair was slightly curly.
Her little hands and feet were so soft they seemed to have no bones.
Li Qingluo couldn't help but reach out and touch it; the skin was as soft as cotton, the texture was incredible.
Just then, he woke up from his deep sleep.
She neither cried nor made a fuss, but opened her round eyes and looked at her own mother.
Li Qingluo almost burst into tears.
Startled, Granny Zheng quickly cautioned, "Young lady, you mustn't cry. For the sake of your eyesight later, we can't be too sentimental during your postpartum period."
Li Qinglu hummed in agreement and couldn't help but lower her head to gently touch the face of her first child.
“I am your mother.”
"We've finally met."
"By the way, Granny, I still don't know if he's a young lady or a young gentleman."
Only then did Granny Zheng and Que'er realize what was happening.
Everyone outside knelt down, saying, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Princess!"
"The princess gave birth to a little princess."
Li Qingluo was overjoyed: "It's a girl?"
No wonder it looks so good!
“Ah Shi, look.”
"She looks a lot like you."
"When she grows up, she will definitely look even more like her mother!"
Li Qingluo was so excited that she bent down and hugged her daughter again, barely managing to hold back her tears.
"Ah Shi, give her a hug."
"Don't you like her?"
She looked up at him with a suspicious expression.
Duan Rongshi: "I...I just didn't know how to hug her..."
Li Qingluo first carefully picked up her daughter herself, and then put her into Duan Rongshi's arms.
Fortunately, he had already bathed and changed his clothes, so he was clean.
But when the child was suddenly placed in his arms, he instantly stiffened like a piece of wood.
Where had Li Qingluo ever seen Duan Rongshi like this before?
He burst out laughing.
"Don't be nervous."
"Look at her, she's looking at you."
"You are her father."
"She will definitely like you a lot and love you very much."
Duan Rongshi looked up at Li Qingluo, somewhat flattered.
"Really?"
Li Qingluo: "Of course!"
"Ah Shi, we will be responsible and good parents. We will teach her well and accompany her as she grows up."
"I love her just as we love each other."
"From now on, the two of us will no longer be the two of us, but the three of us."
Li Qingluo leaned gently on Duan Rongshi's shoulder.
She reached out to touch her daughter's hand, and her daughter unconsciously gripped her little finger tightly, which surprised and delighted her.
So this is the true bond between parents and children.
After exchanging an involuntary glance with Duan Rongshi, Duan Rongshi disregarded the presence of Que'er and the others in the room and gently kissed Li Qingluo's lips.
Que'er and Granny Zheng lowered their heads and chuckled, then quickly knelt down and retreated to the side.
Raising his head, Duan Rongshi looked into the depths of Li Qingluo's eyes and said, "Thank you, Luo'er."
"You gave me a home again."
"Although I still find all of this somewhat unreal, since you love her so much, I will learn how to be a good father."
"If there is anything inappropriate, please feel free to point it out."
Li Qingluo was a little confused: "How can I give you advice? I'm a new mother too."
Duan Rongshi smiled and said, "Then... shall we study together?"
The two of them played with the child for a while, and then Li Qingluo remembered the most important matter.
"Ah Shi, what name should we give our eldest daughter?"
Duan Rongshi thought for a moment and then slowly asked, "What does Luo'er think of Duan Qingwu?"
Li Qingluo quickly understood: "Green represents vitality and vigor, while the phoenix tree attracts the phoenix. You hope she will be a resilient and principled person, standing towards the sun like the green phoenix tree."
“Ah Shi, you have such high hopes for her, she will not let you down as her father.”
Duan Rongshi was very pleased that she understood his meaning so well.
"Then let Luo'er take care of choosing a nickname."
Li Qinglu tapped her chin with her finger, pondered for a moment, and then said cheerfully, "Actually, I've thought of many better nicknames. But now I've decided to call her Fangfang."
"I hope she can grow freely without being restricted."
Her words carried a hint of disappointment and deeper meaning, how could Duan Rongshi not understand?
He turned around and handed Fangfang, who was in his arms, to Zheng Mama first, and after they left, he hugged Li Qingluo tightly again.
"Luo'er, are you scared?"
The word "放放" expresses her longing for freedom and the outside world.
Was she afraid of losing her freedom if she became empress, which is why she didn't respond to her earlier comment about 'empress'?
However, he would never let her leave him, no matter what.
