An hour passed, and Granny Zhang was getting anxious waiting in the room. She wondered why the baby hadn't cried even though the baby had already come out.
Could there be something wrong with him? But then I think about it, he's the Emperor and Empress's child, so how could he be so intelligent?
As she thought about it, Granny Zhang began to prepare to slap the child's bottom.
But she didn't expect that, just as she was about to do that, oh my, this kid started crying!
Wow, wow wow!
A loud, clear, and crisp voice came from inside the room and reached their ears...
Those with keen hearing could immediately recognize the voice as that of a prince. He then offered his congratulations to the emperor, almost as if seeking praise.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Empress has given birth to a prince!"
Lin Xiao nodded, not angry at all, but smiling, and said to the person who had done a good job.
"The Empress has given birth to a prince, which is a joyous occasion. Zhang Mama, just tell me what you want. If I can make it happen, then it is yours."
Granny Zhang was terrified.
The young emperor has really grown up. He's not as incompetent and foolish as they say!
"Your Majesty, this old servant doesn't want anything. I only want to serve Her Majesty the Empress wholeheartedly, and that will be enough."
"Very well, I approve. From today onwards, you and Qiuye will take care of the Empress together. You must make sure the real baby's 100-day celebration is a magnificent one!"
"Now may I go in and see my Empress?"
"Your Majesty, you have worked hard to give birth to a son for our Lin Jiadong."
Lin Xiao tenderly picked up the child, looking at the wrinkled little one. Even knowing the truth, it was still hard to accept.
So this is how ugly all children are when they're little! I must have been very handsome when I was a child!
Several hours had passed since I left the Empress's palace. I was just about to go to the Imperial Study to finish reviewing those memorials.
A court official reported that the region had been invaded by unidentified individuals, and that there were several groups of them, which made him somewhat uneasy.
And the innocent salt has disappeared, leaving the people hungry and without good quality salt, which has enraged the local people.
They then jointly went to the capital to find the emperor!
Perhaps it was the Prime Minister Li Yan who, intentionally or unintentionally, spread rumors about the emperor's reputation, making it seem like a mess.
That's why this situation occurred.
Lin Xiao strode towards the Imperial Study, but before he had taken more than a few steps, he was stopped by someone.
He frowned in annoyance, wanting to unleash a torrent of curses, but found himself unable to utter them.
Not only could he not utter a curse, but he also forced him to retreat step by step, his chin gripped and forced up.
"Fu Lingtian, what do you mean? I'm very busy. Don't come here to cause trouble!"
"Is His Majesty very busy?"
"Are you angry at the salt official's poor management, or at my sudden visit?"
"How did you know about Zhang Laichun's report on salt?"
Lin Xiao stared intently, his face serious. The person in front of him seemed to have no recollection of his current state.
"How did I know? Your Majesty need not worry, I would not harm you. But there are things I want to understand."
"No, it's not that. It's the Empress's child. What you're talking about has nothing to do with you, but why does that child look like you!"
Fu Lingtian finished speaking.
Thinking back to the image of him, that woman, and that child—that family of three—makes me incredibly jealous, a jealous feeling I absolutely refuse to acknowledge!
"Do you believe what I say?"
