The child changes every day, and Fang Qing loves him more and more, wishing she could hold him in her arms every day.
Fang Qing and Zhao Shi'an struggled with the issue of their child's name for a long time.
Since it was their first time naming their child, the couple was extremely cautious, listing names on an entire paper. In the end, they had no choice but to let Zhao Fen pick a name for them.
Xi Zhi, Zhao Xi Zhi.
The child's rosy, wrinkled appearance has faded, and now she is fair and tender.
The child was unusually quiet, unlike the usual boisterous children at this time.
He would only whimper when he was hungry, and he only cried loudly when he was born and his feet were slapped. After that, Fang Qing never heard him cry.
Fang Qing was worried that a child this age was unusually quiet, so she went to find Xiao Dou.
Xiaodou said the child had no health problems whatsoever.
Are you sure?
Fang Qing was a little suspicious.
Don't worry, the child is currently under the system's monitoring, and he will definitely grow up healthy and strong.
Fang Qing's eyelids twitched, and she instantly became alert.
"What do you mean? Why are you paying attention to my son?"
[Don't worry, there's no malice intended. The system was created by Zhao Shi'an, but Zhao Shi'an no longer needs it. It just wants to find a better target, and it will definitely make your son the protagonist of this world.]
Fang Qing was so angry she almost slammed her hand on the table.
"Bullshit! Let whoever wants to be the protagonist of this world be it. If it dares to lay a finger on my son, I'll never forgive it!"
[You can't do anything to the system, don't worry. He's not the kind of protagonist who suffers hardship and grows up after his whole family dies. He's the kind of male protagonist who grows up in a happy family and has a burning passion for his country and its people.]
Fang Qing still refused.
Her son doesn't need to be so great; he can be an ordinary person, and she'll be content as long as he's healthy.
Can I refuse?
[This is beyond your control. The system is based on the Heavenly Dao formed by Zhao Shi'an's strong will, and no one can change its decisions. It has already selected an AI and bound it to a person to assist your son, so you can rest assured.]
"Other AIs? What about you?"
"I'm bound to you now, aren't I? Sigh, you're useless. You didn't make Zhao Shi'an a great hero who saves the country and its people, which has led to me being disregarded by the system. In the future, it will create many AIs to maintain the balance of this world. I'm basically useless."
Fang Qing remained silent.
She hasn't complained about this broken system yet.
Something created by Zhao Shi'an's strong will has now become the Way of Heaven?
Fang Qing didn't take the system's suggestion to make her son the male lead seriously.
The child is so young, what does he know?
*
From the moment Fang Qing became pregnant, Fang Dashu's daughter, Mingming, kept pointing at Fang Qing's belly and calling her "little sister."
Fang Qing thought it really was her younger sister, but now that the child has been born, Mingming still calls the baby her younger sister every time she sees her.
"It's my younger brother." Xun'er had corrected Mingming more than once.
Mingming lay by the small bed, watching Zhao Xizhi sleeping soundly.
"Beautiful, little sister."
Xun'er smiled helplessly.
"Maybe she thinks the child is pretty, so she keeps calling her 'little sister'."
Fang Qing touched her son's little face.
She is indeed good-looking; even at only a few months old, her features are already very defined.
Most importantly, the child is so well-behaved, just like a quiet little girl.
“The child really makes my life easier. Zhao Shi’an even said that a child with this kind of personality should be a girl.”
Xun'er smiled.
"I think Lord Zhao wants a daughter, hasn't he considered having another child?"
Fang Qing's eyes widened upon hearing this.
"This one was an accident, why would I have any more? I'd rather die than have any more."
Moreover, Zhao Shi'an doesn't want to have any more children. Last night, Zhao Shi'an told him about the agony he went through during his childbirth, and he was afraid he could never experience it again.
Xun'er smiled and shook her head when she saw Fang Qing's genuine resistance.
“It’s fine if you’re in charge of your own household, but my household… sigh.”
Xun'er sighed heavily.
Fang Qing had a pretty good idea of what those unspoken words meant.
Fang Dashu is now an official in the court, which brings honor to Fang Sanhua and her husband. Now they are thinking about having their son have children. If Xun'er doesn't want children, the old couple might even consider arranging for Fang Dashu to take a concubine.
"What did Brother Big Tree say? After all, having a child isn't a one-person affair."
"He reassured the old couple, saying that I wanted to wait until Mingming was old enough to understand before having another child."
"Then you should stick to it. Big Tree isn't an unreasonable person."
Xun'er smiled but said nothing.
Every family has its own set of problems.
Fang Qing has a happy marriage and a considerate husband, but that doesn't mean that other people's men are like Zhao Shi'an.
She naturally couldn't interfere in other people's family affairs.
Life goes on, and time slips away unnoticed.
When Zhao Xizhi turned one year old, Zhao Shi'an held a banquet and invited relatives, friends, and some officials.
Fang Qing personally oversaw all the arrangements for the banquet. This was the first time she had hosted such a large-scale event since their marriage, and she was determined to make it a success.
One-year-old Zhao Xizhi has learned to walk, and a wet nurse and two maids are watching over him.
Children's curiosity about the world is growing day by day. They have finally shed their unusually quiet nature and are trying to explore the world just like other children.
The child is really good-looking and loves to smile; everyone who sees him says he's handsome.
Not to mention the servants in the manor who were always around this little boy, even Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi had become gentle uncles, calling him "Xi Xi" this and "Xi Xi" that.
