Chapter 107

Jiashan had just used up all her strength and was now at her weakest after giving birth. After hearing what the old lady said, although she was happy in her heart, she could only smile weakly.

Zhan Yue on the other side had already received the news and came in. He rushed to the bedside first, and seeing Jiashan's pale face, he held her hand with complicated emotions.

Zhan Yue stared at Jia Shan for a while, touched her face, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Does it hurt?"

Jiashan wanted to say "It's okay", but then he changed his mind and thought, it's already this late, why bother to act tough.

She then closed her obsidian eyes, opened her slightly cracked lips, and whispered, "It really hurts."

Zhan Yue stretched out his right hand, gently caressed her smooth face, and touched his forehead against hers: "Then we will only have this one child."

He was just outside the door, and although he did not witness the entire birth process of Jiashan, her uncontrollable screams of pain had already penetrated his heart.

Hearing him say this, Jiashan couldn't help but laugh and said, "You haven't even seen if it's a boy or a girl yet. Didn't you say a while ago that you'd give him a brother or sister in the future?"

"Boy or girl, both are good." Zhan Yue was so happy to have a child that he didn't care about these things.

He said in a low voice: "Seeing you are in so much pain, I changed my mind again."

"You haven't met him yet," Jiashan said with a smile, "Go and hug him."

The widow and her companions were all waiting in the delivery room, and had not left yet. However, when they saw Zhan Yue and Jia Shan being so affectionate, they were too embarrassed to come over.

Hearing Jiashan say that he wanted to give the little boy to Zhan Yue to hold, the old lady hurriedly came forward with the child in her arms, and said with a smile: "Look, my dear, it's a little boy, and he weighed 15.75 pounds when he was born. It's really rare!"

The baby was wrapped in a red blanket, with only his face and a pair of small hands exposed.

A weight of 15.7 jin makes the child look plump. His face is very round and plump, and his cheeks are as red as apples.

When the old woman handed him over, the baby just opened his eyes.

His eyes were extremely black, his pupils were round and large, his eyelashes were slightly curled, and he stared at Zhan Yue without blinking.

Zhan Yue was puzzled, but he was too soft-hearted to say anything. He took the child from the mother-in-law and said to Jiashan, "Xuan Ge'er, he is Xuan Ge'er."

After a while, Zhan Yue said in surprise: "He is so fat!"

"Yes," Jiashan reached out from under the quilt and grabbed the child's hand, "otherwise how could it be seven pounds and seven ounces."

Zhan Yue held the child tightly, and was reluctant to let go. He said to Madam Pei and the others who came over to look at the child, "Look, is he looking at me?"

Mrs. Pei smiled and said to him, "I'm looking at you."

"It is very rare to have a child who is born with his eyes open. Our Xuan'er will surely have an extraordinary future." Song said.

When Zhan Yue heard others praising his son, he couldn't stop smiling.

Such a heroic man usually looked like a child who got a rare treasure, with a silly look inside and out.

Song was fine, as she had watched Zhan Yue grow up and knew that he was not such a cold person. But it was the first time for Madam Pei and Gu Junyi to see him like this, and they couldn't help but feel surprised and amused.

Not to mention Wu Po and Gong Bixing on the other side.

Gong Bixing was a person who often walked in front of Zhan Yue. He had heard of this gentleman's reputation for being cold and murderous, and he had also seen Zhan Yue act so childishly several times.

He suppressed the shock on his face and smiled, "Congratulations, Princess, congratulations, Prince Consort. I will also go to the palace to report the good news to His Majesty."

Gong Bixing was sent personally by Emperor Zhanghe to help Jiashan with her pregnancy. Now that Jiashan has successfully given birth to a son, Gong Bixing should report back to Emperor Zhanghe.

Jiashan nodded to him, and Zhan Yue said, "Thank you for your hard work, Judge Gong."

Gong Bixing said hurriedly, "I dare not."

Before leaving, Liu Qi did not forget to give Gong Bixing a reward. Although Gong Bixing was responsible for this, it was a happy occasion and he had to give him a reward according to the rules.

Gong Bixing took the heavy bag of silver without any hesitation before entering the palace.

After Gong Bi walked, the child started crying. Aunt Wen took the child from Zhan Yue's hands, carried him to the ear room nearby to let the wet nurse feed him.

Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Song also left the production house one after another on the grounds of letting Jiashan have a good rest.

Suddenly, Zhan Yue and Jia Shan were the only two people left in the delivery room.

Although Jiashan's birth was not difficult, it still took several hours of hard work and still hurt my spirit.

Zhan Yue watched over her and wiped the cold sweat off her head with a towel.

He held Jiashan's hands, a warm light flickered in his dark eyes. He smiled faintly and said to Jiashan: "You gave me a home."

When Zhan Yue saw the tiny baby, he could hardly believe it.

Is this really his son?

He had thought more than once that he would never have children in this life. The scene of having a wife and children like today was something he had never dared to dream of many times.

Zhan Yue stared at Jiashan, his eyes fixed on her face.

Jiashan's expression was calm and gentle. She weakly reached out her hand to smooth his brows and gently corrected him, "Silly boy, we have formed a family."

Zhan Yue held her hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it.

As if it was not enough, he looked into her eyes, slowly bent down, and carefully kissed Jiashan's forehead.

He bent his body slightly, while Jiashan tilted his head halfway, revealing half of his porcelain-white cheek.

When two people are together, the years are as quiet as a perfect and exquisite mural.

Jiashan didn't know when she closed her eyes. When she woke up, she was sweating. It's easy to sweat after giving birth. Gong had reminded her of these things, so Jiashan didn't worry too much.

When she turned sideways, she saw the baby sleeping beside her. Even though the newborn was heavier than other children, it still had small hands, feet and faces.

At this moment, the baby was sleeping quietly in his blanket with his eyes closed.

This is her and Yanqing’s first child!

The more Jiashan looked at the child, the more he liked him. He held the child's hand tightly and fell asleep again.

When she woke up again, it was the next day.

The name given to the child by Emperor Zhang He, as well as all the honors and awards given to the child, were all presented by Chen Gong the next day.

Emperor Zhanghe named the child Zhan Xiangming.

Tolerance and tolerance are called Xiang, and bright and shining are called Ming. Both are excellent characters, but the meaning of "Xiang" seems to be more different.

In addition to tolerance, "Xiang" also means assistant or support. Who should be supported? I'm afraid those who are interested need to think carefully.

Not only did Emperor Zhanghe bestow a title on him, he also, as expected, bestowed him with a noble title.

In addition to the rewards given to the princess' eldest son, he was also given the title of First-Class Light Cavalry Commander, a third-rank official, and the position of Assistant Commander of the Changling Guard.

The emperor's grace is so great that Zhan Yue and Jia Shan should certainly express their gratitude.

Although Jiashan was still in confinement after childbirth, she managed to get out of bed and kowtowed. Chen Gong hurriedly ordered someone to help Jiashan up, smiling and saying, "Princess, take good care of yourself. His Majesty has already sent down a message that when the princess can walk again, she will have a bathing ceremony in the palace."

The third day bath is a ceremony held on the third day after a child is born. Zhan Yue has already prepared all the items for Xuan'er's third day bath ceremony and has posted all the necessary messages, just waiting for someone to come tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, Chen Gong actually said that Emperor Zhang He planned to hold it again in the palace.

Jiashan couldn't help but exchange a glance with Zhan Yue and said with a smile, "I'm afraid this is unreasonable."

"There are also human feelings," Chen Gong said cleverly, "Princess, don't be too cautious. After all, he is the first grandson of His Majesty. His Majesty has already ordered Concubine Jing to make preparations. If it weren't for the princess's physical condition, I'm afraid His Majesty would want the princess to carry the little prince into the palace tomorrow."

Chen Gong's words were so insightful that Jiashan could no longer refuse and responded by saying, "That's the only way."

Chen Gongman's face was filled with joy: "I wonder if I can have the honor to see the young master? I can report back to His Majesty after returning to the palace."

Zhan Yue said: "Of course."

"Let the nurse bring it here."

The wet nurse was originally feeding the baby, but after receiving instructions from Zhan Yue, she immediately brought Xuan'er from the side room.

Xuan'er was halfway through feeding, his stomach not yet completely full, but because of his childish nature, he suddenly burst into tears, kicking hard with his little hands and feet.

Chen Gong hurried over to take a look and said flatteringly, "The little boy is so handsome, and his crying voice is so powerful!"

"I congratulate the princess and her husband!" Chen Gong said repeatedly.

Jiashan was still worried about the baby crying, so Chen Gong asked the nurse to hold the baby and continue feeding. She smiled and said, "After the baby was born, he could eat and sleep well, which is considered a blessing."

"It turns out that he is really blessed," Chen Gong said, "From the looks of his face, I can see that he still has the demeanor of your Majesty in his youth."

Jiashan knew that Chen Gong was deliberately complimenting him, so he curled his lips and smiled.

Zhan Yue, on the other hand, took Chen Gong's words seriously.

After Chen Gong left, he went to the side and took a closer look at the child, and then said to Jiashan with a hint of dissatisfaction: "I see, Xuan'er's eyebrows and eyes seem to be more like me."

"Why does Chen Banban look like father?" Zhan Yue murmured.

Jiashan couldn't help but find it funny, poked his cheek and said, "What a promising guy!"

She laughed and said, "The child is still so young, how can you tell who he looks like?"

"When he was born, my cousin's wife said he was wrinkled and looked like an old man," Jiashan said. "We'll see who he looks like when he grows up."

Zhan Yue didn't take it seriously and said to her with a smile, "I think our Xuan brother is prettier than other children. He has big eyes, long and curly eyelashes, and even a straighter nose than others."

"Although his face is still quite red now, Grandma Wen and Gong Bixing both said that the redder the child is, the fairer he will be in the future." Zhan Yue glanced at Jiashan and said softly, "His father and mother are both handsome, so Xuan Ge will definitely be handsome in the future."

Jiashan laughed at him and said, "I am not as shameless as you to praise myself for my own beauty."

Zhan Yue had a gentle expression. After sitting with her for a while, he went to the side to see Xuan Ge'er.

Since Xuan Ge'er was born, Zhan Yue seemed to have gradually calmed down. When Wen Lao Taijun passed away, the haze that shrouded him slowly began to fade away.

Jiashan leaned on the big pillow on the bed, looking at the father and son lazily, and he really felt that time had slowed down.

When the eldest princess gave birth to a son, there was a great deal of fanfare in the palace, with both titles and honors. Others had no choice but to go along with the princess' wishes and curry favor with her in front of her mansion.

Hearing that Jiashan gave birth to a son, Zhang Shi, no matter how unhappy she was, still put on an act. She was now walking around outside, and she was the real face of the Anguo Mansion. Even if she didn't want to, Zhan Tai had to force her to come.

Therefore, Zhang had no choice but to bring Qi along to add some color to the princess's mansion.

But when she entered the princess's mansion, she didn't see anyone from Jiashan. Lu Yi said, "The princess is ill," and asked Zhang to leave. Of course, she didn't forget to accept the gift.

Zhang had no choice but to leave the princess's mansion with Qi, smiling fakely.

Later, when Zhang heard that the princess's aunt, Princess Qin, had suffered the same fate as herself, she felt a little relieved.

Jiashan actually had no intention of rejecting the Princess of Qin, but when she saw the little Xuan'er, she couldn't help but think of Yuankang's childhood.

I got angry for a moment and was unwilling to endure it any longer.

What Jiashan didn't expect was that after the third-day bath for Xuan Ge'er in the Princess's Mansion, a few days later, Princess Li of Lu actually brought Shuxian to the Princess's Mansion to formally express her condolences.
