Volume 1 Chapter 261 Sunflower Life
"Oh, now I'm completely disgraced. You all need to forget what happened just now. Do you understand?" Xiang Yun said jokingly.
Lingzhi shouted at this time: "We will always be with your majesty and will never leave!"
The others quickly said, “That’s right, we will never leave!”
"It's such a happy day, what are you doing?" Xiang Yun smiled happily, then coughed twice lightly, and took out a book of internal energy from his arms. On it were six big characters "The Wonderful Method of Heaven and Man's Freedom" written on it.
Xiang Yun looked at all of them and said, "I have specially selected this book of inner strength skills for you. After you take it back, everyone should try to practice it. Although this method is extremely unsuitable for fighting, it is very effective in recuperating the body, preventing disasters and diseases. After practicing it, the body will feel refreshed every day, and will not feel weak, tired, or sleepy."
Everyone looked delighted when they heard this. Cultivation had always been something unfamiliar and difficult for them, but they didn't expect that the emperor would take the initiative to let them practice today. It was quite novel.
Qin Su was the first to reach out and take the book of internal energy skills, opening it and looking at it carefully. Although the others were curious, they were all well-educated ladies from noble families, so they did not lose their manners and ran over. They were also afraid of Qin Su's identity and aura, so they could only watch from the side.
Zhen Rou's identity could be snatched away, but as the queen, she had to accommodate everyone, so naturally she had to give in to these sisters.
Xiang Yun said nonchalantly, "Later, you can ask the servants to take pen, ink, paper and inkstone to copy down all the wonderful methods of the Heavenly Man and Freedom, and then go back to the palace to practice."
At this point, everyone's expressions eased a little. If it was just a book that was borrowed here, with so many people, it would take a long time for them to take turns.
Actually, Xiang Yun had a great selfish motive in letting them practice this mental method, a wonderful method of freedom for the gods and gentlemen, which could cultivate inner strength but not be good at killing. Instead, it could cultivate oneself in all directions and become immortals by climbing to high places. What Xiang Yun valued most was the greatest effect of this method, which was to prolong life!
After he discovered this book of internal energy, he had been thinking about it in his heart, and finally he went to ask Shentu Jian. According to him, if a mortal practiced this book of internal energy, it could extend his life by at least thirty years. If one could comprehend the true meaning and practice it to perfection, extending his life by eighty or even a hundred years would not be a problem.
Xiang Yun was completely moved by this. He didn't need his wives to fight and kill outside. He just wanted them to live well, stay with him longer, and not die before him. This was his greatest hope.
After the reunion dinner, Xiang Yun stayed in the Queen's Kunning Palace tonight. After all, it was the first day of the founding of the country, and it was a bit unreasonable not to sleep with the Queen.
In the Yuxue Palace, Wang Jiaojiao, who was pregnant, sat cross-legged on the embroidered bed. Then, with excitement on her face, she opened the newly copied Tianren Zizai Miao Fa, and prepared to start practicing tonight.
Her mentality is different from others. She has been bullied and paid a price that she will never forget and was in excruciating pain. So she longs to become stronger and has strength. She believes that it is better to rely on herself than on others. The sooner she cultivates her inner strength, the sooner she will become stronger and be able to better protect herself and the child in her belly.
Wang Jiaojiao had studied culture and was not unfamiliar with words, so it only took her half an hour to finish reading this book of exercises.
After thinking it over carefully, Wang Jiaojiao began to practice according to her own understanding.
As soon as she closed her eyes, Wang Jiaojiao fell into a daze. She didn't know how long it had been, but suddenly she opened her eyes. The next moment, her brows were furrowed, and she covered her stomach and screamed in pain.
The noise immediately frightened the palace maids outside, and they hurried over to check. As soon as they came in, they saw a faint white light coming out of Wang Jiaojiao's body, but she had fallen off the embroidery bed to the ground, with a large red spot on her trouser leg.
The two palace maids hurried over to help Wang Jiaojiao up, only to hear her say in a panic, "My water has broken, and I'm about to give birth. Call the midwife, quickly!"
Xiang Yun was awakened in an instant. As soon as he stood up, Zhen Rou's personal maid ran over and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, Concubine Wang is about to give birth!"
Zhen Rou, who was awakened by the shock, heard this and hurriedly shouted, "Quick, help His Majesty and I change clothes!"
"Ah~!" A painful scream was heard from Wang Jiaojiao's bedroom. At this time, Xiang Yun, wearing a thin pajamas, and Zhen Rou, wearing a mink cloak, hurried over.
Hearing such a painful scream, Xiang Yun couldn't help but frown and raised his foot to walk into the bedroom.
But he was soon stopped by several palace maids. Just as Xiang Yun was about to get angry, Zhen Rou behind him pulled him back and said softly, "Your Majesty, how can you barge into this woman's delivery room? Your Majesty is the emperor, and you will suffer bad luck."
"It's incomprehensible. Why believe in these superstitions!" Xiang Yun was worried about Wang Jiaojiao's safety, so he cursed angrily and continued to walk inside.
At this time, Qin Su, Song Yun and other concubines also rushed over. Seeing Xiang Yun making a fuss, Qin Su walked over, grabbed Xiang Yun, and said unhappily: "How can a dignified emperor be so disrespectful? If this gets out, it will make people laugh!"
"This woman has a professional midwife to help her give birth. Your Majesty, how can you help?"
Just then, a palace maid came out with a basin of hot water with blood on her hands. She almost bumped into Xiang Yun. After a quick salute, she hurried away.
Qin Su continued, "Your Majesty has seen it, it's all blood. Concubine Wang loves to dress up, and she definitely doesn't want Your Majesty to see her giving birth in such a mess."
Qin Su's words still carried a lot of weight in Xiang Yun's heart, but Xiang Yun was still worried and wanted to go in again, but then he heard a baby crying from inside the house.
"Wow wow wow~" Everyone was shocked. Xiang Yun quickly shook off the two people's pull and tried to force his way in.
But the next moment Qin Su stepped forward and forcibly hugged Xiang Yun, holding him tightly to prevent him from moving forward.
Qin Su, who was also a woman and had been disfigured, knew deeply how important a beautiful image was to a woman. At the beginning, she didn't even want Xiang Yun to see a tiny scar on her face. Now Wang Jiaojiao was covered in blood and looked miserable. How could she let the emperor see her? Then Wang Jiaojiao would definitely not be able to face Xiang Yun again.
"Little Susu, stop messing around. Let me go and let me in!" Xiang Yun got angry and refused to give in. At this moment, the elderly midwife came out holding the baby in her arms and said with a smile on her face, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor. The mother and child are safe and a little princess has been born."
"Come, let me hold you!" Xiang Yun hurriedly stepped forward and held the child gently in his arms, moving very gently for fear of hurting her.
Zhen Rou, Qin Su, Ling Zhi and other concubines also ran over at this time and looked at them with curiosity.
The little guy was originally crying loudly, but once he entered Xiang Yun's arms, he somehow stopped crying or making a fuss. Instead, he opened his big eyes curiously and stared at Xiang Yun, and soon he even smiled slightly.
This expression made Xiang Yun so happy that he laughed out loud like a fool, and then made many weird expressions and kept teasing the little baby.
Not long after, Xiang Yun shouted, "Quick, call Father over here!"
Then Xiang Yun called out "Father~Father" himself, making everyone around him laugh. Qin Su said unhappily, "The child has just been born, how can he speak? Your Majesty, have you thought of a name for the child?"
Xiang Yun looked around after hearing this, and thought about it carefully. Then his eyes lit up, and he said lightly: "In the distant heaven, there is a kind of divine flower called sunflower. The flower blooms brilliantly, like the rising sun, and it faces the sun all day long, never having darkness. In addition, the predecessor of the Dayun Empire was called the Great Sun Dynasty, so this child should be named Sunflower!"
"Sunflower?" Qin Su and Zhen Rou thought about it carefully, and then their eyes lit up. Zhen Rou said, "It's easy to pronounce. It's a good name for a woman to be named after a flower."
Xiang Yun chuckled, then lifted the child up high and laughed, "Sunflower, little sun, little sunflower!"
Qin Su hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, be careful, don't drop the child!"
After teasing the child for a while, Xiang Yun handed the child to Qin Su, then walked into the bedroom alone and came to the bed.
At this time, Liu Yiyi's face was pale and sweaty, and her long hair was stuck to her fair forehead, making her look rather disheveled.
When Wang Jiaojiao saw Xiang Yun coming in, she asked in a weak voice, "Your Majesty, where is my child?"
Xiang Yun touched her face and said softly, "The Queen and the others are holding the baby. Thank you for giving birth to a little princess for me. You've worked so hard!"
Then Xiang Yun gently kissed Wang Jiaojiao on the forehead, but when she heard the word "princess", Wang Jiaojiao's pupils shrank slightly, her expression darkened, and the hope in her heart was dashed, and she felt extremely painful.
Xiang Yun didn't know what Wang Jiaojiao was thinking, so he continued, "I named her Sunflower, what do you think?"
Wang Jiaojiao nodded slightly and said, "The name your majesty chose is naturally nice."
Then Wang Jiaojiao gently grasped Xiang Yun's palm, and Xiang Yun also grasped it forcefully, hoping that this would make Wang Jiaojiao feel warmer and help her forget the pain of childbirth sooner.
Suddenly, Wang Jiaojiao asked in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, now women in the Dayun Empire can serve as officials and engage in politics. I wonder if our daughter can become the crown prince?"
The tender expression on Xiang Yun's face froze, and suddenly a huge rage surged in his heart. It was a taboo for the harem to interfere in government affairs and fight for the throne. This Wang Jiaojiao!
Xiang Yun was about to get angry, but when he thought about the fact that the child had just been born, Wang Jiaojiao had just given birth to a child, and that he still owed her for what had happened in the past, the anger in his heart was immediately suppressed.
After thinking for a while, Xiang Yun said calmly: "Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, as long as she has good character, loves the country and the people, and has the ability to take on great responsibilities, I may pass the throne to her. If my offspring is incompetent and immoral, then I would rather hand over this huge country to her. Do you understand this truth?"
Wang Jiaojiao's eyes became moist upon hearing this, tears rolling down her cheeks, she said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I know I was wrong, I just felt too insecure."
Xiang Yun hugged her tightly after hearing this. The anger in his heart dissipated. He closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I promise you that as long as I am alive, nothing will happen to you and the child. If one day I am about to die, I will protect you and the child well and you will not be bullied by others."
