Chapter 205 Giving birth
Concubine Shu didn't waste time talking to him and went straight into the delivery room.
Feng Shenyu was outside listening to Li Yueyao's voice, which was getting louder and louder, and was extremely anxious.
Yanxin couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she stepped forward and pulled Fengshenyu over.
"My dear, please sit down and rest for a while."
Feng Shenyu was pulled by Yan Xin, turned his head in a trance and looked at the people in the yard, and suddenly his body fell down limply.
"My dear...my dear..." Yan Xin exclaimed when she saw this.
Three imperial physicians were prepared in the mansion to prevent Li Yueyao from having a difficult delivery.
But at this moment Li Yueyao did not use it, but Fengshenyu did.
As soon as Doctor Zhao gave Feng Shenyu an injection, he slowly opened his eyes.
In a trance, Feng Shenyu heard Doctor Zhao say, "You're just adding to the chaos."
After Feng Shenyu recovered, Li Yueyao had not yet finished giving birth. Feng Shenyu was on pins and needles and could not stay for a moment.
He returned to the main courtyard and continued to look inside through the door.
Li Yueyao started giving birth in the morning and didn't give birth to a baby boy until noon.
Hearing the child's crying, Feng Shenyu quickly asked:
"How is your Highness?"
Nanny Qin's voice came from inside: "Your Highness is fine."
After she finished speaking, Concubine Shu came out happily holding a swaddling baby.
"Congratulations to the Right Prime Minister on the birth of his son."
Feng Shenyu quickly glanced at the swaddling clothes in Concubine Shu's arms, without even seeing what was inside, he pushed open the door, lifted the curtain and entered the room.
Nanny Qin was cleaning up Li Yueyao when she turned around and bumped into a hard arm.
He quickly said, "Right Prime Minister, the delivery room is dirty and men are not allowed to enter. You can come in after it is cleaned up."
As he said this, he was about to drive the person out.
But Feng Shenyu didn't listen. He walked straight to Li Yueyao and looked at her pale face, sweaty hair, and closed eyes.
He stretched out his hand tremblingly and touched her face, his voice trembling a little:
"Your Highness, you have worked hard."
Li Yueyao opened her eyes and looked at Fengshenyu, her breath unstable as she said:
"Have you seen it, child?"
Feng Shenyu saw Li Yueyao open her eyes, the trembling in her hands gradually calmed down, and she nodded:
"I saw it. Concubine Shu is holding her. How are you?"
"I'm fine." Li Yueyao said weakly.
After hearing this, Feng Shenyu finally felt relieved.
"Your Highness, we only want this one child, we won't have any more in the future!"
Li Yueyao slowly raised her hand and touched Feng Shenyu's cheek.
"Did it scare you?"
Feng Shenyu shook his head and said, "No, I just don't want children anymore."
Li Yueyao smiled weakly.
Nanny Qin came over and interrupted, "Right Prime Minister, His Highness is very weak and needs to rest. Please leave now."
Feng Shenyucai came out of the house reluctantly.
At dinner time, Li Yueyao woke up in her bedroom. When she opened her eyes, she saw Feng Shenyu sitting in front of her, reading a memorial.
Cuiwei saw Li Yueyao wake up and came forward in surprise.
"Your Highness, you are awake."
After hearing this, Feng Shenyu threw away the memorial in his hand and walked over like the wind.
"Your Highness, how do you feel now?"
Li Yueyao nodded weakly: "Not bad."
When Nanny Qin heard the sound, she brought in a bowl of nourishing soup from outside and helped Li Yueyao drink it.
After drinking the soup, Li Yueyao felt a lot more energetic.
"Where's the child? Bring him here for me to see." Li Yueyao said.
Soon the wet nurse came over with the baby in her arms. Li Yueyao opened the swaddling clothes and looked at the red and wrinkled baby inside.
"Looks like me."
Cuiwei laughed beside him and said, "Yes, we all saw it today and they all said it looked like His Highness."
Li Yueyao glanced at Feng Shenyu and said, "It's not like you. Wouldn't you feel sorry?"
Feng Shenyu shook his head and said, "As long as you and your child are safe, nothing else matters."
Nanny Qin comforted him, saying, "The child will change as he grows. Maybe he'll look like the Right Prime Minister when he's eleven or twelve years old."
Feng Shenyu had a blank expression on his face when he heard this. He didn't care about who she looked like or not. As long as Li Yueyao was fine, he didn't care.
The child was two days old and Feng Shenyu had not yet been named.
Li Yueyao looked at his list and finally chose a name called Feng Shinian.
A good harvest and abundant crops are a good omen and a good meaning.
At this time, she seemed to have forgotten that she had told the emperor that she wanted the child to have the surname Li.
But the emperor remembered that he had promised Li Yueyao that he would make the child a prince.
So he prepared the decree early and waited to issue it on the day the child was one month old.
During the month that Li Yueyao was in confinement, Feng Shenyu stayed at home every day and went to the morning court every other day.
He stayed in the mansion every day to handle affairs.
Li Yueyao divided out the courtyards along the route of the study in the East Courtyard so that officials from the six ministries would have space to use when they came to handle affairs.
The east courtyard of the Jinyang Grand Princess's mansion suddenly turned into a small court.
Feng Shenyu has been bringing the fourth prince with him every day these days to meet court officials and handle state affairs.
In my spare time, I take him to see Li Yueyao and Xiaoman.
The Fourth Prince found it very amusing to see the baby, who was less than a month old, calling him uncle.
Every time he came, he would jokingly call out, "Uncle Xiaoman, how are you today?
Have you grown up enough to help me with government affairs?"
Li Yueyao heard this once and sneered, "Then you have a lot of waiting to do. When he grows up, who knows how long it will take.
You might as well rely on your own son than on him."
"No, great-aunt, you and the Right Prime Minister are both intelligent, and the child you give birth to will surely be exceptionally intelligent as well.
It’s hard to say what will happen to my child in the future, and I don’t even know who my wife will be.”
Li Yueyao smiled and said, "Why do you want a wife? Tell me who you like and I'll tell your father."
When the Fourth Prince heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, my elder and second brothers haven't officially married yet, and my third brother hasn't arranged a marriage yet, so how can it be my turn?"
Li Yueyao laughed when she heard that.
On the day she was released from confinement, Li Yueyao took a good bath and changed the water three times, but still felt that she was not clean enough.
Just finished cleaning up and came out holding my chubby son.
Then he heard the emperor's decree coming, and Feng Shinian, who was only one month old, became the Prince of Kangping, with a fief of 1,200 households.
Li Yueyao was happy and waved her hand, giving everyone in the mansion an extra month's salary.
Everyone in the mansion was very happy and laughed so hard that their teeth were showing.
On the second day, Li Huaiyu and the fourth prince came to see Li Yueyao together.
Li Huaiyu teased Xiaoman in the cradle and said, "Grow up quickly, little cousin. I'll teach you martial arts when the time comes."
The Fourth Prince was complaining to Li Yueyao:
"Grandma, please take care of that old man. He wants to tire me to death.
Now I not only have to review memorials with him, but also attend the morning court.
My eldest, second, and third brothers don't attend the morning court, so why should I?"
Li Yueyao laughed and said, "Because your mother is a virtuous concubine and you are smart."
"I don't want to be so clever anymore. Go and tell him that I can only choose between reviewing memorials and attending court."
"The Right Prime Minister and I will return to Chunshan in the future. If you don't take charge of the court affairs as soon as possible, who will assist your father?" Li Yueyao asked.
"Big brother, can't the second brother do that?"
The Fourth Prince said angrily.
Li Yueyao shook the cradle beside her: "Don't you know what your elder brother looks like now?
And your second brother, does he have the brains to deal with those old guys in the court?"
"We still have Uncle Qin and Uncle Jin. At worst, we still have Uncle Shou'an." The fourth prince pointed at Li Huaiyu and said.
"Your uncle, the King of Qin, is good at martial arts but not at literature, just like your second brother.
Don’t you know how your uncle, Prince Jin, is doing now?
He...he is alright, he can assist, but he's not so good at running the court."
Li Huaiyu heard it and nodded vigorously.
"Heng'er, your great-aunt is right. I'm not as smart as Ice Face, nor as ruthless as him. I can't do it.
If I were to assist you, I could do it, but I can't be the leader, and I know that."
