When the wet nurses brought the baby over, Bai Lingxi tried to sit up straight despite her weakness. Zhou Changling quickly stepped forward to support her and let her lean against him.
Zhou Changling even unconsciously softened his breathing: "Xi'er, be careful."
Bai Lingxi laughed and scolded, "Alright, alright, it's just getting up to take a look, don't be so nervous!"
Zhou Changling held her frail body, his eyes reddening, his nose tingling, and he almost burst into tears in front of the palace servants, nearly losing his imperial dignity.
Bai Lingxi, however, was oblivious to all of this. Her entire being was captivated by the rosy-cheeked little child before her, and she stared at him intently, a beautiful smile playing on her lips.
That smile, more beautiful than a thousand beauties, stunned everyone present. Even the most proper palace servants lost their composure this time, staring in awe at the peerless beauty before them.
The wet nurse thought to herself: No wonder this mistress is the emperor's favorite. Putting aside everything else, her looks surpass all the noble ladies in the capital.
Emperor Zhou Changling was the first to recover. Seeing so many servants behaving without manners, he frowned and hissed, "Don't they all want to lose their sight?"
At this point, all the palace servants realized what was happening and immediately knelt down, begging for mercy: "We deserve to die, Your Majesty, please forgive us!"
Bai Lingxi looked at the little one in the wet nurse's arms, whose little mouth twitched as if about to be woken up. She quickly glared at Zhou Changling: "Husband, you're disturbing our child!"
Zhou Changling felt a vein throb on his forehead; he had a premonition of how miserable his days would be.
However, for now, these people must be pardoned: "Get out of here!"
The palace servants, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, dared not delay and kowtowed before departing.
Bai Lingxi looked at the little child, her affection for him impossible to diminish. At this moment, the little prince seemed to realize that this was his mother. He pursed his lips and then laughed. His giggles echoed in the hall, creating a warm atmosphere.
Zhou Changling thought to himself, "Let's leave it at that. Let time stand still at this moment, the three of us, just like any other ordinary family."
Zhou Changling tightened his grip on Bai Lingxi's hand: "Xi'er?"
Bai Lingxi paused in her playful teasing of the child, turned her head, and looked at the man: "What's wrong, husband?"
Bai Lingxi leaned against Zhou Changling, her almond-shaped eyes, full of allure, staring intently at him. Her eyes seemed to speak volumes, and looking at Zhou Changling like that gave him a sense of security.
Zhou Changling stroked Bai Lingxi's head and gently kissed her smooth forehead. It was a kiss from an emperor, a kiss of utmost preciousness. He didn't speak, but it was as if he had said everything.
Bai Lingxi's heart seemed to be touched. She blinked her big, bright eyes, and after a while, a beautiful smile bloomed on her face. It seemed to melt people's hearts, gentle and sweet, and directly touched their souls.
The little one in Bai Lingxi's arms seemed restless, kicking its little legs, waving its little hands, and babbling.
Zhou Changling looked at the little prince who looked exactly like Bai Lingxi, patted the older one's head, and then patted the younger one's head, and sure enough, he received the same confused look from both of them.
At this moment, Zhou Changling made a decision in his heart: perhaps Xi'er will never be able to give birth again in the future, then this little prince might just be the future crown prince!
