Chapter 540 Don't Hurt Me
Newborns are generally not very good-looking, with wrinkled skin and not necessarily hair on their scalps. But in a mother's eyes, even if her child is ugly, he is ugly in a unique and interesting way.
Wang Yushi was holding her son and found him pleasing to the eye, completely ignoring Qin Mo and the others who had entered.
"Your Majesty, may we have a look at the young prince?"
After a while, Zhao Qirui spoke first, asking to see the child up close.
"Your Highness, please take the little prince over so the General can take a look and see if there is anything amiss."
Qin Mo stepped forward and picked up the child. As soon as the child was out of his mother's arms, his little mouth twitched and he immediately started crying. Qin Mo quickly hummed and rocked him a few times to stop him from crying.
"The Prince of Heng and the young prince... are quite close!" Qin Jian said sourly.
"I have many sons, I just know how to soothe children. This child's cry is loud and his senses are sharp, I don't think there's anything wrong with it." Qin Mo held the child in her arms and moved closer to Zhao Qirui and the others, letting them observe him carefully.
"The crying was loud, but where did this keen perception come from?"
"You don't understand! The fetus and mother live together for ten months, and the fetus is already familiar with the mother's heartbeat. This is what is called the mother and child being connected. A baby with keen senses can recognize his mother as soon as he is born. He only feels safe in his mother's arms. If you don't believe me, let Qing Ning hold him and see."
Qin Mo rattled off a bunch of parenting tips, then handed the child to Qing Ning. Qing Ning, a tomboy, had no idea how to hold a baby, and the little one immediately burst into tears. She quickly handed the child back to Wang Yushi, and the little one immediately stopped crying and started nudging the bowl with his little mouth.
"So, is there anything wrong with this child? If he were mentally challenged, would he be able to recognize his own mother?"
Seeing the men looking at each other blankly, Qin Mo simply ordered several palace maids to take turns holding the child. As a result, the little guy was only quiet when he was in Wang Yushi's arms.
"Hehe, actually I have quite a bit of experience in raising children, but unfortunately I am a man, which makes things inconvenient. Otherwise, I would definitely write a 'Child-Raising Manual' and spread it throughout the entire Great Xia!"
Qin Mo cheerfully played the expert, earning eye rolls from Wang Yushi and Zhao Qirui. As for Qin Jian and Qin Mu, they had no intention of rolling their eyes anymore. Both of them were Heavenly Realm experts, and they knew better than anyone whether the child was healthy or not.
"Your Highnesses, shall we determine the strength of the young prince's bloodline?" Wang Yushi asked another question after seeing that Prince Yan and Prince Chang Le had no objections.
The imperial family has a special method for testing royal bloodlines. Consort Liu was tested after giving birth to a deformed child, and it was later proven that the child also had imperial blood. Qin Mo is not afraid of this kind of test. He has pure imperial blood, otherwise he would not be able to perfectly match the imperial secret "Returning Heart Sutra" and enter the Profound Realm at the young age of fourteen.
"The Empress shall decide this matter. We shall take our leave!" Qin Mu did not persist. He had already lost his most important bargaining chip, and if he continued to argue, he didn't know if he could even keep his pants.
"Your subject will also take his leave!" All the men had left, and it was inconvenient for Qin Mo to stay there. Qing Ning was already glaring at him.
"Hmm! Go back and write down that 'Childcare Manual,' and explain it to me in detail!"
"Well........"
On the 18th day of the fourth month of the twelfth year of Zhaowu, the Great Xia imperial family announced to the world that the empress had given birth to a prince, named Qin Zhong.
On April 21, Elder Heatherine, the temple envoy, and Her Majesty Queen Shia of the Sea Clan arrived together in the capital.
On April 22nd, Her Majesty Queen Isabella, the new vampire queen, entered the capital.
All three presented generous gifts to the Great Xia imperial family to congratulate Wang Yushi on the birth of her son, and all expressed their interest in when the young prince would ascend the throne.
The leaders of Great Xia were in an uproar, and for a moment they were confused about the specific attitudes of the three major forces.
Grand Secretary Xiao Xinyan personally visited the leaders of the three parties at the Court of State Ceremonial and finally received confirmation that the Sea Clan, the Blood Clan, and the Holy Temple all believed that the young prince Qin Chong had an indisputable right to inherit the throne.
Xiao Xinyan and the others already regretted the recent struggle for the throne, and now they had the perfect excuse. The identity of the young prince Qin Zhong was quickly confirmed. He was first enthroned as the crown prince, and after the full moon celebration, he was to be enthroned on a chosen date, with the empress acting as regent.
Although Wang Yushi disliked Shia and Isabel, since they had shown enough goodwill and were not ordinary envoys, she could not be too negligent. So she held a banquet in the palace to entertain them, and all the court officials, including Prince Yan and Xiao Xinyan, attended to keep her company.
"I'm not feeling well today, please take a day off!" On the day of the banquet, Qin Mo handed a leave slip to Wang Yushi.
Where does it hurt?
"Have loose bowels!"
"Let me rub it for you!"
Wang Yushi narrowed her eyes and stretched out her fair hand. Judging from the slight strength in her hand, she could probably crush Qin Mo half to death.
"...Suddenly, the pain stopped!"
"Oh? What a coincidence?" Wang Yushi's eyes narrowed even more.
"Let me make this clear first! I'm not responsible if they start fighting later. I really don't understand what you were thinking, putting a dark queen and a light master together, is it fun?"
When Wang Yushi wanted to host a banquet for the three women at the same time, Qin Mo expressed her opposition. The Temple had killed the Sea Clan and seized the Fountain of Life a few days ago, and Xiao Xiya already had a grudge in her heart. However, she had some personal relationship with Heatherine, so she could probably restrain herself.
