Six midwives surrounded Jiang Si. One of them took the child and the first thing she did was to see whether the child was a boy or a girl.

It's a girl -

The middle-aged woman's heart sank, but she didn't show it on her face. She and another middle-aged woman wiped the child neatly, wrapped him in a soft quilt, and held him for Jiang Si to see.

"Congratulations, princess. It's a daughter, as pretty as you."

These midwives all knew that the wealthier the family, the more importance they attached to male offspring, and it was an even bigger deal if they were to carry on the royal family line.

The princess gave birth to a daughter as her first child, so she was naturally not as happy as if she had given birth to a son.

They congratulated the princess, but were also worried.

After being a midwife for a long time, you will encounter all kinds of things. Many women will break down and cry when they find out that the baby is a girl. Some cruel families will quietly throw the baby away when they see that it is a girl.

It’s terrible. It’s so terrible.

Of course, after they became famous, they encountered less such things, as wealthy families at least had girls to feed, so there was no such thing as abandoning or drowning them.

Jiang Si was already exhausted by this time. He opened his eyes with great effort and saw a tiny baby.

The baby closed his eyes and cried loudly.

Jiang Si couldn't help but curl his lips.

The little guy liked to move around in her belly, and after he came out, he cried with full energy, and he was indeed a lively kid.

Seeing that Jiang Si's smile was genuine, the grandmother holding the child bravely moved the baby towards her and put her cheek close to hers.

At that moment, Jiang Si couldn't help but shed tears.

It's not sadness, nor even joy, it's just that tears are pouring out and I can't hold them back.

This is probably the feeling of being connected by blood.

From then on, there was a little person in this world, with her and A-Jian's blood flowing in her body.

So this is what it feels like to be a mother.

"Princess, don't cry, or you might hurt your eyes." The old woman holding the child was a little panicked.

Is the princess unhappy?

Jiang Si smiled and said, "I'm just happy. Let's take the child out and show it to the prince."

The old lady finally felt relieved and walked out holding the baby.

Yu Jin had already heard the baby crying outside the house and was about to kick away Nanny Ji who was causing trouble, but luckily Grandma Wen came out in time.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. The princess has given you a daughter."

"Is it a girl?" Yu Jin strode over.

The old woman laughed and said, "First the flowers bloom, then the fruits are produced—"

The princess seems quite satisfied, but is the prince giving up?

Yu Jin was stunned looking at the wrinkled baby in the big red swaddling clothes.

"Prince?"

Yu Jin stretched out her finger and gently poked the baby's face: "Is this...born by the princess?"

This child is as ugly as a monkey, and she is a girl——

The old lady was stunned by the question: "Ahem, the prince is joking."

If he wasn’t born by the princess, could he have been born from a stone?

The prince really gave up!

The baby burst into tears after being poked by his reckless father.

Yu Jin panicked: "She's crying... Nanny Ji, quickly ask the wet nurse to comfort the child. I'll go in and see the princess."

Seeing Yu Jin rushing in, Nanny Ji rolled her eyes helplessly.

The old lady was stunned for a moment, and then she cautiously asked Nanny Ji: "Did the prince see that the princess gave birth to a girl——"

Nanny Ji smiled and said, "The prince is extremely happy. He will give my sister to the wet nurse and go to claim the reward."

The housewives outside are ignorant. They don't know that as long as the child is born by the princess, the prince will not reject it even if it is a monkey, let alone a girl.

Ahem, she must have been so mad at the prince that she lost her mind. How could she make such nonsense comments?

Nanny Ji felt that her serious and formal image was in danger of collapse, so she calmed herself down and immediately arranged the follow-up matters.

The princess gave birth safely, and now she has a lot to do. News has to be sent to the palace and the princess's family early.

The bloody smell in the house had not yet dissipated, and it was June and the windows were not allowed to be opened, so it was as hot as a steamer.

Yu Jin looked at the person lying on the bed.

Pale face, messy hair, torn sheets...

His heart suddenly tightened, and he quickly walked to Jiang Si's side and held her hand: "Ah Si, how are you?"

Jiang Si blinked his eyes and said in a tired voice, "I'm so tired. Ah Zhen, I want to take a nap first, you can go out."

"Okay, go to sleep."

Jiang Si closed his eyes again.

For first-time mothers, this ordeal is truly exhausting.

Yu Jian didn't move.

The faint smell of blood in the room made him seem to feel the pain that Jiang Si had endured before.

Yu Jin had only one thought in his mind: No more children, no more children, one ugly monkey-like concubine is enough for him.

Ah Qiao bowed to Yu Jin and said, "My Lord, you should go out first. You need to wash and dress the princess."

Yu Jin nodded, looked at Jiang Si deeply, and then walked out.

The air outside suddenly became fresher.

"Where is the child?" Yu Jin asked Nanny Ji.

Nanny Ji said, "The wet nurse is feeding my sister."

Hearing the wet nurse feeding the baby, Yu Jin gave up the idea of ​​going to see the baby. After hesitating, she whispered to Nanny Ji: "Are all newborn babies so ugly?"

Nanny Ji's eyes twitched for a moment, and she said sternly, "Sister is not ugly at all. She should be the prettiest of all newborn babies. After all, she looks like a princess."

Yu Jin thought back to the wrinkled little baby and became deeply suspicious of Nanny Ji's look.

It was already midnight, but the lights in the main courtyard of Prince Qi's mansion were still on.

The Prince of Qi walked in quickly, and the Princess of Qi immediately stood up.

"Not asleep yet?"

How could Princess Qi sleep?

She became pregnant only a little later than Jiang Si. If she didn't have a miscarriage, she would have to prepare for the birth of the child. But now she can only wait for news from Prince Yan's Mansion.

"The Princess of Yan gave birth?"

As soon as news of Princess Yan's outburst spread from Prince Yan's Mansion, Prince Qi's Mansion sent people to keep an eye on her. Now that the prince has come, the result is natural.

"Yes."

"When was she born?" This was Princess Qi's first reaction.

King Qi pursed his lips and said, "After midnight."

Princess Qi suddenly felt a little depressed.

After midnight it was the first day of June. Even if the baby was born a little earlier in May, how come Princess Yan got all the good things?

She immediately thought of the second question: "Is it a boy or a girl?"

The King of Qi smiled and said, "It's a girl."

"Oh, it's a girl..." Princess Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

If it was a boy, she would be even more outshined by the Princess of Yan, and would probably be out of power for a long time.

The King of Qi was also much more relieved.

After Prince Jin fell, his first goal was to bring down the Crown Prince, but he never expected that the Seventh Prince would become so prominent.

The people had a good reputation. It was said that the newly appointed Minister Zhao highly respected the Seventh Prince. If he gave birth to another son, would the Seventh Prince be in trouble? The Princess of Yan gave birth to a girl, so the threat was much smaller.

The King of Qi and his wife smiled at each other, and went to sleep together.

The next day, the news that Princess Yan had given birth to a daughter was delivered to the palace early.
