Chapter 211 [Extra] The Birth of the Little Princess
The door opened from the inside, and the midwife came out holding the swaddling clothes, her face full of smiles: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Queen has given birth to a little princess, and both mother and daughter are safe!"
The little princess that Emperor Jingxuan had been longing for was born!
He glanced at his swaddled daughter, suppressed his joy at becoming a father, and asked, "Where's your wife? Why aren't you listening to her?"
Emperor Jingxuan felt anxious when he thought of the cases he had learned from the imperial physicians and books in the past few months about women who died in childbirth and never opened their eyes again after stepping into the gates of hell.
Midwife: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. She fainted from exhaustion after giving birth to the princess, but she is fine!"
Emperor Jingxuan was still worried, so he immediately stepped into the delivery room and came to the bed.
The bloody smell in the room had not yet dissipated, mixed with the smell of ginseng soup, strong and pungent. Yueya was leaning over the bed to wipe Yun Wan's forehead.
After giving birth, Yun Wan's eyes were closed, her rosy face was now as pale as paper, her hair and neck were wet with sweat, and she was sleeping weakly.
"I'll come."
Feeling a dull pain in his heart, Emperor Jingxuan took the hot handkerchief from Yueya's hand and gently wiped the sweat off Yun Wan's face.
Outside the house, the midwife was holding the baby and was watched by the crowd.
Ah Sui stood on tiptoe and looked at his newborn sister, his eyes showing joy, "It's a sister, Xiaobao is a sister."
He looked at the tiny ball in the cradle and was very excited.
He has a sister!
Asui couldn't contain his joy, and the corners of his mouth curled up wildly.
Although his sister is as red and wrinkled as a newborn monkey in the zoo, in his eyes, she is the most beautiful sister in the world!
"Why don't you say anything, sister?" Asui touched his sister's clenched fist and asked worriedly.
He just heard his sister crying loudly, and it sounded very healthy.
The midwife smiled and explained, "The little princess is tired from crying and has fallen asleep. It's windy outside, so I have to carry the princess back to the house."
Ah Sui said hurriedly, "I'll go too."
Father takes care of A-niang, and he has to take good care of his younger sister so that A-niang can see his younger sister when she wakes up.
........
Yun Wan slept for three hours. When she woke up, she found herself back in her familiar bedroom. A faint scent of ambergris wafted into her nose. When she opened her eyes, she met the concerned gaze of Emperor Jingxuan.
"Madam is awake."
Yun Wan was still weak and smiled at him, "Where's the child?"
She glanced around but didn't see the newborn baby.
Emperor Jingxuan helped her up and adjusted her to a comfortable position. "Before Madam woke up, the wet nurse took her away to feed her."
"Is it a girl?"
Yun Wan asked uncertainly. She still remembered that she seemed to hear the midwife say it was a little princess before she fainted.
Emperor Jingxuan thought of his newborn daughter and his brows relaxed: "It's a girl."
He held Yun Wan's hand, his deep voice filled with tenderness: "Madam, you gave birth to a little princess for me. Thank you for your hard work."
He bent down and kissed her forehead, then ordered the palace maid to bring the child up.
After a while, the wet nurse came in with the tightly wrapped child and placed the child carefully next to Yun Wan.
Smelling the familiar and friendly breath, the little ball waved its fists, twisted its body towards Yun Wan, and hummed.
When Yun Wan saw her daughter for the first time, her heart melted.
She reached out and gently held her daughter's little hand, a kind and gentle smile blooming on her face. This was her daughter.
Xuxu touched her daughter's face and Yun Wan said, "She's smaller than when Asui was first born."
Emperor Jingxuan raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Madam, do you still remember?"
He has never held his daughter in his arms because he is afraid that his clumsy hands and feet may hurt the child.
The soft ball was no bigger than his two palms, and it seemed to have no bones in its body, incredibly fragile.
"Of course, Asui was this big then."
Yun Wan opened her hands to indicate the size, and her eyes were filled with a soft maternal light.
Emperor Jingxuan looked at the mother and daughter clinging to each other, his eyes slightly warmed, his heart filled with happiness and satisfaction, "Thank you, Madam, for giving me a pair of children."
"Our daughter looks like the lady. She will definitely be very beautiful when she grows up. She will be the most beautiful girl in the world."
Yun Wan looked down at her daughter, whose red marks had not yet faded and whose body was wrinkled, and smiled helplessly.
The eyes are not open, and the facial features are not unfolded, so how can you tell that it looks like her?
"Husband, have you decided what to name our daughter?" she asked with a smile.
She chose her son's name, and he kept it after he returned to his ancestral home. She gave her daughter's name to Emperor Jingxuan to decide.
The little princess held his outstretched index finger, and Emperor Jingxuan suddenly became stiff and dared not move.
He nodded slightly when he heard that. "Chao, Chao as in Chaoyang, Chengchao, our daughter's name follows the same generation name of 'Cheng' as her brothers."
"She was born at sunrise. I hope her life will be as bright and vibrant as the sun. I give her the title 'Ming Yang'. What do you think, Madam?"
Yun Wan nodded: "Cheng Chao, Ming Yang, very good."
Her expectations for her daughter were the same as Emperor Jingxuan's.
Her daughter will grow up under the love and care of her parents and brothers.
She won't be like her mother, who lost her mother at a young age and suffered bullying.
Emperor Jingxuan's eyes lit up: "I will make her the most noble lady in Da Qi."
As long as he is alive, he will do his best to keep the mother and her two children healthy and worry-free.
After receiving her approval, Emperor Jingxuan ordered the drafting of an edict and announced it to the world.
On the ninth day of the fourth month in the fifteenth year of Jingxuan's reign, the empress gave birth safely to a princess. The emperor named her Chengchao and gave her the title Mingyang. From then on, Da Qi had a princess Mingyang who was the darling of the whole world.
"I think Xiaobao sounds better. Little baby."
Ah Sui sat on a low stool, playing with a rattle to tease his sister in the cradle. He asked seriously, "Right, Xiaobao?"
"Aa ...
Little Mingyang kicked his legs, making a sound, and his round eyes followed the rattle.
Ah Sui was so excited that he said to Yun Wan, who was confined behind the screen, "Look, mother, Xiaobao agrees with me!"
As expected, his sister still prefers the nickname given by her brother.
Emperor Jingxuan sneered but said nothing, too lazy to pour cold water on his son. After all, his daughter's name and title were given by her father.
A newborn baby changes every day. After a few days, Princess Mingyang became fair and tender, with relaxed facial features and a delicate and lovely appearance. Everyone who saw her couldn't let her go and wanted to take her home to raise.
When Pei Qian and the Third Prince saw each other for the first time, they couldn't help but exclaim, "Our sister is so beautiful, her eyes are like grapes."
The little princess inherited the best qualities of her parents. She has big watery eyes, a chubby face, and a white and soft body. She is incredibly beautiful.
Even Pei Qian, who was usually insensitive to beauty and ugliness, couldn't help but look at it more.
The little princess was not afraid of being stared at by different people, and her little mouth showed her pink gums.
Pei Qian was excited: "My sister seemed to smile at me. Can I touch her face?"
Ah Sui ruthlessly refused: "No, your hands are not clean, they will hurt Xiaobao."
"And she's my sister."
Pei Qian: "Your sister is my sister!"
Asui:.........
"If you want a younger sister, ask your aunt to give birth to one for you."
闻言裴谦眼眸一亮，回去后便缠着永寿公主给他生个像明阳一样漂亮可爱的妹妹，结果毫无疑问挨揍了。
The next day, he covered his butt and shook his head dejectedly, saying, "Forget it. If it's a younger brother, there's no way we can put it back, right?"
And his mother said she was afraid of giving birth to a charcoal-skinned sister like him.
Pei Qian felt wronged. He was showing off his masculinity.
........
A month later, at Mingyang's full moon banquet, the beloved little princess made her first public appearance.
Yun Wan stayed in confinement for two months at the request of Emperor Jingxuan, so she did not appear at the banquet.
The master of ceremonies carefully shaved the little princess's hair. The collected hair would be made into hair brushes and stored in Emperor Jingxuan's private treasury.
One-month-old Mingyang stayed in his father's arms the whole time. He was well-behaved and curious, his big round eyes moving around and he babbled in baby language, not at all stage fright.
Asui followed behind, greeting the adults while keeping an eye on his sister who was in his father's arms.
His father was ruthless and he knew how unreliable he was in raising children.
He was afraid that his father would accidentally drop his sister, as his sister was so fragile.
But Asui was worrying too much. After more than a month of adjustment and practice, Emperor Jingxuan could easily master the gestures of holding a baby and understood what kind of holding posture was suitable for a one-month-old baby.
What's more, Xiao Mingyang is also a baby with a bad temper. She will protest if she is unhappy, like now.
Emperor Jingxuan was talking to someone and didn't pay attention to the little Mingyang in his arms. Suddenly, he felt something wet on his collar. He looked down and saw that the little guy was vomiting milk.
The lively atmosphere came to an abrupt end. The wet nurse felt nervous, and everyone saw Emperor Jingxuan with a milk stain on his chest and took a deep breath.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Jingxuan burst into laughter: "Hahaha, my little princess is spitting up milk!"
Everyone:..........
In June, the weather gradually became hotter. Yun Wan, who had finally completed 20 days of confinement, could no longer bear it and went out to take a thorough bath.
After two months of careful nourishment, Yun Wan's figure has recovered, her skin is as white and delicate as porcelain without any flaws. The only discomfort she has is occasional chest pain, and she can no longer wear her old small clothes because they no longer fit her.
Seeing her frowning and looking worried, Nanny Zhong, who had been taking care of Yun Wan since she became pregnant, explained, "Your Highness, this is normal. I'll clear the pain for you and it will go away."
Since ancient times, children from wealthy families were not breastfed. They had wet nurses before they were born. Asui and Xiao Mingyang were naturally also fed by wet nurses.
However, Yun Wan was very worried and not in a good mood when she was pregnant with Asui, so she had no milk after giving birth to Asui and did not experience any bloating or pain.
Now I am well taken care of. From pregnancy until now, I have been eating nutritious food every day, especially in the past two months, so I have milk.
After getting Yun Wan's consent, Nanny Zhong bent down to unbutton her clothes, when Emperor Jingxuan arrived.
"Where does it hurt, ma'am?"
There was some distance between the palace gate and the inner room, and it was obvious that he had heard what Nanny Zhong said, and he immediately became worried.
Yun Wan bit her lip, unable to speak.
Nanny Zhong didn't dare to hide it and whispered, "Your Highness's milk is swollen."
What is breast engorgement? It means exactly what it says, no explanation needed.
Upon hearing this, his dark eyes instantly fell on Yun Wan's plump chest, and his gaze deepened.
After bathing, she only wore pajamas. The thin lotus-colored fabric wrapped around her slender body. The buttons at the collar were loose, and the bright white skin caught the eye.
"How to relieve it?" Emperor Jingxuan asked without moving his eyes.
Sensing the ambiguous atmosphere between the mistress and the mistress, Nanny Zhong said succinctly, "You just need to use both hands to gently knead and pinch to help the Majesty clear it up."
Emperor Jingxuan nodded, "You say, I will come."
Understanding came to her mind, and Nanny Zhong lowered her head: "...Yes."
She orally described the technique, and Emperor Jingxuan took notes carefully with a serious expression. Only the person involved, Yun Wan, felt uneasy.
After he made note of it, Nanny Zhong took the palace maids out and closed the door considerately.
Emperor Jingxuan washed his hands and wiped away the water stains.
Yun Wan was half leaning on the couch. When she saw him walking towards her, she couldn't help but sit up straight.
She pursed her lips and whispered softly, "Why don't we let Aunt Zhong come?"
She was already a mother of two children, and they had done a lot of ridiculous things, but when she thought about what was going to happen next, Yun Wan still felt uncontrollably embarrassed and covered her collar tightly.
Emperor Jingxuan raised his lip slightly, then quickly straightened it. With a stern and determined look, he said, "I've learned it. Madam, trust me. I will never hurt you."
"Just rest assured, ma'am."
When Yun Wan heard this, she became even more worried.
Emperor Jingxuan did not give her a chance to hesitate. He slowly bent his knees and sat beside her, holding her waist with one hand.
The slender waist was covered with soft flesh, and he gently caressed it.
The itch on her waist instantly diverted Yun Wan's attention. In an instant, she felt a chill in front of her body. She subconsciously reached out to cover it, but was blocked.
Emperor Jingxuan withdrew his hand from her waist, clasped the hand that was trying to block him with his palm, and with the other hand, he pinched the hem of her skirt and brought it to her lips.
"Ma'am, it's bitten."
Under the stimulation of the cold air and gazes, Yun Wan's chest heaved violently, she held the hem of her clothes in her lips, and her slender neck tilted back to draw a graceful arc.
Suddenly she shuddered and grabbed his shoulders tightly, her teeth tearing at the fabric in her mouth, her cheeks and ears flushed terribly.
Seeing this, Emperor Jingxuan stopped what he was doing and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Yun Wan shook his head with difficulty. It didn't hurt, but it was very uncomfortable.
The mature body that had already enjoyed the pleasures of love and sex had been secluded for several months, and now it was being teased like this, and it felt very uncomfortable.
Of course, she was not the only one who felt uncomfortable at this moment. Emperor Jingxuan had beads of sweat on his forehead and a frown on his face.
After more than ten times, a faint smell of milk was wafted through the air, and milky white juice appeared before the eyes, like morning dew that gathered to a certain level and then flowed slowly.
Emperor Jingxuan's eyes suddenly darkened and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.
"I am thirsty, please help me, Madam."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and took it in his mouth.
Gulp gulp.
The sounds of sucking and swallowing were particularly clear in the quiet and empty night.
Emperor Jingxuan was like a hungry man walking under the scorching sun for many days, enjoying the nectar in front of him that belonged to him alone.
My daughter had several wet nurses who took care of her and she had enough food.
Therefore, the matter of competing with his daughter for food did not exist at all.
These are all his.
The sweet dew flowed into his throat, temporarily quenching his hunger and thirst. Emperor Jingxuan raised his head:
"Don't worry, ma'am. There's another side."
