"Wan'er!"
It was Rong Zhou's voice.
Su Wanti smiled and looked up, and saw Rong Zhou jogging in.
He was not as calm as usual, but looked excited as he held Su Wanti's hand.
"Wan'er, thank you for giving birth to my prince." Rong Zhou held Su Wanti's hand with his warm hand, his eyes shining with gratitude.
"I have issued an edict to confer you the title of Imperial Noble Consort."
Su Wanti was stunned for a moment, then struggled to get up, but was held down by Rong Zhou.
She looked apprehensive, "Your Majesty, I have only been in the palace for a short time and have little experience. I'm afraid I can't handle this..."
Rong Zhou looked at Su Wanti with gentle eyes and a firm tone, refusing to allow any objection.
"If I say you can bear it, then you can bear it. I am nearly forty years old and have only one daughter. I thought I would never have any more children in this lifetime. I even made arrangements for the inheritance of the country a hundred years from now..."
"I never thought you could be pregnant with a dragon fetus, that you could give birth to my child!"
"I am very pleased. You are the only one in the entire palace who is qualified to be the Imperial Noble Consort. Only the position of Imperial Noble Consort is worthy of you."
The queen stood behind Rong Zhou, smiling faintly, dignified and virtuous.
"Congratulations, sister. You are so blessed."
Su Wanti didn't really want to refuse, but seeing Rong Zhou's firm attitude, she pretended to be embarrassed, then frowned slightly and said, "Then, I accept your order and thank you."
At this time, the wet nurse came over with the little prince in her arms to pay homage to the emperor and empress.
Rong Zhou looked at the little prince in the cradle with a loving face. The last time he held a baby was when the princess was little.
At that time, he was the crown prince and had to handle state affairs on behalf of his father. He had a lot of affairs to deal with and had to work day and night, but he would still take time out to visit the princess and hug her every day.
After many years, Rong Zhou finally had the chance to hug his own child again.
He didn't even blink, and his gentle gaze seemed to be glued to the little prince.
Although his limbs were stiff and his movements were unfamiliar, his posture was standard.
He held the little prince in his arms, laughing and teasing the baby in his arms.
The little prince shook his head, opened his eyes, looked at Rong Zhou drowsily, then closed his eyes, twisted his body, and yawned.
So cute.
Rong Zhou's heart melted all of a sudden, becoming soft as if he had eaten honey.
He held the little prince tightly in his arms and wouldn't let go, his mouth grinning almost to his ears.
The Queen also came closer to look at the little prince, and the tiny, soft baby immediately captured her heart.
"The little prince is really fair, just like his sister. But the little prince's eyebrows and eyes are like the emperor's, with thick eyebrows and bright eyes, handsome and majestic."
Hearing the Queen say that the little prince looked like her, Rong Zhou smiled even more happily.
"My child will definitely look like me, and the princess will look more like me."
Rong Zhou's eyes were full of smiles.

The next day, the imperial decree to promote Su Wanti to the rank of Imperial Noble Consort was announced to the six palaces.
There are some who are happy and some who are worried in the harem.
Noble Lady Wen, Concubine Chun and other people close to Su Wanti were all happy.
The higher and more stable Su Wanti's status is, the more comfortable their lives will be in the palace.
Otherwise, if one is not loved and has no children, life will already be meaningless. If one is also despised and bullied and lives an uncomfortable life, it will be too miserable.
The imperial concubine, on the other hand, is the type that is “worried”.
"Huan'er, do you think the emperor will make the little prince the crown prince?" The imperial concubine frowned.
Ever since she heard the news that Su Wanti gave birth to a little prince and was promoted to Imperial Noble Consort, she could no longer sit still.
I don't know why, but I feel anxious.
Huan'er thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the little prince is the one the Emperor has been waiting for for a long time and finally got. There is a great possibility that he will be named the Crown Prince."
"Furthermore, Concubine Su... Imperial Noble Concubine Su was granted the authority to assist in managing the six palaces while she was still pregnant. This shows how much the Emperor loves and trusts her."
"Throughout the dynasties, some concubines were honored because of their mothers' sons, and some princes were honored because of their mothers' sons. But our Imperial Concubine and the little prince, both mother and son are unparalleled in their nobility!"
"In the future, the Imperial Concubine and the little prince will definitely be the apple of His Majesty's eye."
The lady shrank her neck. The more she listened to Huan'er's words, the more frightened she became.
"Well, then I have offended her before. Now she is in power and has the power to assist in the management of the six palaces and take charge of their affairs. Will she treat me harshly..."
She felt uneasy, and her voice was not as proud as usual.
Huan'er comforted her, "Your Highness, you haven't provoked the Imperial Concubine in the past few months, and it was Chi Shuren who harmed the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine won't bear a grudge against you."
"As long as you behave yourself from now on, don't argue with the Imperial Concubine, and don't oppose her in everything, the Imperial Concubine will not do anything to you."
"Really?" The imperial concubine looked worried.
Huan'er nodded and patiently comforted the imperial concubine for a long time, which made the imperial concubine feel temporarily relieved.
"Your Highness, we have to send a gift to the Imperial Concubine. I have already selected the gift. Please review it."
Huan'er was thoughtful and considerate in her work. She asked the palace servants to present the gifts to the imperial concubine and let her review them one by one.
The imperial concubine had no intention of asking about these things. She glanced through them and said:
"Huan'er, I didn't sleep well last night and have a headache. Please take my gift to the one in Yufu Palace. Tell her that I'm not feeling well. I'm afraid I might pass my illness on to the Imperial Noble Consort, so I won't be visiting her in person."
"I obey your command." Huan'er nodded and took a group of palace servants to Yufu Palace.
Su Wanti was in confinement after giving birth and didn't see outsiders, so Huan'er naturally couldn't see her.
However, Qingye was taking care of Yufu Palace outside. Huan'er went to see Qingye, gave her the gift, and relayed the imperial concubine's words to her.
