Chapter 571 The Ugly Lady in Yu Qi's Eyes



As the mistress of the harem, the empress was naturally the first to receive the news. She immediately gave rewards and arranged for people to go to Yuquan Palace to report the news.

Concubine Xian was trimming a pot of blooming flowers with a pair of small silver scissors. When she heard someone coming to Kunning Palace, she stood up and said, "Please come in."

Soon, the eunuch from Kunning Palace came in and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Concubine Xian."

Concubine Xian's heart skipped a beat, and she put on a perfect smile: "I don't know where the joy comes from?"

Could it be that the seventh son’s wife gave birth?

Then the eunuch said, "Last night after midnight, the Princess of Yan was blessed with a daughter."

"Thanks to Eunuch Lao for making the trip. Hongyu——"

A palace maid immediately gave the eunuch a reward.

The eunuch said a few more auspicious words and left.

The smile on Concubine Xian's face disappeared immediately. She picked up the small silver scissors placed beside her and continued to trim her hair. She said calmly, "Prepare some supplements and send them to Prince Yan's Mansion."

As a girl, there is naturally nothing to be happy about.

What's more, it hurts to think about it.

At that time, the fourth and seventh daughters-in-law were both pregnant. A young concubine complimented her by saying that flowers bloom first and then fruits are produced, but what were the results?

The fourth son's wife had a miscarriage, and not to mention the result, not even a flower was born. The seventh son's wife lived up to the bad luck and gave birth to a girl.

There are so many princes who have set up their own residences outside the capital, plus the Eastern Palace, with plenty of girls. I guess the emperor wouldn't even bat an eyelid if he knew about this.

Concubine Xian was pruning the branches leisurely, putting aside the matter of Princess Yan giving birth to a daughter.

It was the first day of June. Emperor Jingming left court and went to the Empress according to custom.

"Your Majesty has finished his work so early today."

"I haven't had much to do recently, so I came here to have dinner with the Empress." Perhaps the Emperor and the Empress had a common secret. Although Emperor Jingming had no love for the Empress, he felt very comfortable with her.

For an old married couple, this is enough.

"There is a happy event that I would like to let His Majesty know."

Emperor Jingming became interested: "What's the good news?"

With the political chaos these days, he rarely feels happy anymore.

"Last night, the Princess of Yan gave birth to a baby girl safely. Your Majesty, do you think it is a happy event?" the Queen asked with a smile.

Emperor Jingming was startled, then smiled and said, "It is indeed a happy event. I hope the baby is born safely."

As the emperor was busy with all kinds of affairs, it was naturally impossible for him to keep an eye on when his daughter-in-law, who was living away from home, would give birth.

"Your Majesty, remember to prepare some supplements and send them to Prince Yan's Palace."

"Someone has been arranged to deliver it."

Emperor Jingming recalled the promise he had made to his wife and said to the empress, "The seventh son has performed well recently. I plan to give him a name for my eldest daughter."

Yu Jin uncovered Nanny Duo who was causing trouble in the palace, and she also made a great success in Qianhe County. Emperor Jingming kept all of this in mind. As a prince, he could not be promoted, so he could only show his respect in other ways.

The queen was stunned.

When the emperor talks about bestowing a name, it is not as simple as just giving a child a name.

To confer a name means to give a title to the one being named, which is a great honor for a newborn baby.

You have to know that there are so many princesses in the palace. Except for the legitimate princess Fuqing, there is also the fifteenth princess who died unjustly. The other princesses have no titles yet, and will only be given titles when they leave the palace.

The same applies to the prince's daughter, who can only be given a title when she is married.

The Queen quickly figured out why Emperor Jingming did this.

It is said that the son pays the father's debts, and the same principle applies to children. The Prince of Yan and his wife have helped the emperor solve many problems, but there are some things that cannot be told to outsiders, so the emperor naturally has to make up for them in other ways.

The Queen asked with a smile, "Has Your Majesty decided on a name?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. Let me think about it." Emperor Jingming pulled his beard for a while, but couldn't think of it for a while, so he said to the empress, "The empress, think about it too."

The emperor and the empress got together and began to think of a name for the newborn daughter of the Prince of Yan and his wife.

Jiang Si and Yu Jian are also racking their brains over a name for their daughter.

After all, she was young, and Jiang Si had recovered a lot of energy the next day. He coaxed his daughter and handed her to the wet nurse. The couple talked about naming her.

"Don't worry about the name yet. I've already thought of a nickname, so let's call it Ah Huan."

Jiang Si blinked: "Why do I remember you said that if it's a boy, he should be called Ah-li, and if it's a girl, she should be called Ah-jiao?"

Thinking of her ugly daughter, Yu Jian sighed in her heart.

She's so ugly, why call her A-jiao? What if others hear her and laugh at her?

Of course Yu Jin didn't dare to say it directly to Jiang Si, and said with a wry smile: "I suddenly feel that Ah Huan is better. It would be great if we could live happily together for the rest of our lives."

Jiang Si thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he nodded: "Then let's call her Ah Huan. I also think Ah Huan is better."

"Master, someone has arrived from the Dongping Marquis's residence."

"Who's here?"

Ah Qiao said, "The eldest master, the eldest aunt, and the third wife."

Yu Jin immediately stood up and said, "I'll go meet my father-in-law."

Jiang Si was still in confinement after childbirth, so Jiang Ancheng could not see his daughter. He could only see his granddaughter wrapped in a cradle.

Jiang Ancheng couldn't stop staring at the baby, and said with a smile: "Yier, look, this child looks exactly like your sister when she was a child..."

Jiang Yi surrounded the baby and agreed with a smile, "Yes, she looks exactly like our fourth sister. Her features are like they were carved from the same mold. She will definitely be as outstanding as our fourth sister in the future."

Listening to the father and daughter praising their young lady endlessly, Yu Jin was confused.

Is it others who are blind or is he blind?

"My Lord, I'm going in to see the princess."

Jiang Yi went into the delivery room with the third wife. Seeing that Jiang seemed to be fine, she chatted with her for a while and then came out.

People who are in confinement should not be disturbed for too long.

On the way back, Jiang Ancheng sighed: "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, your fourth sister has become a mother."

Jiang Yi knew that her father was thinking of her late mother again, so she hurried to comfort him.

When they arrived at Cixin Hall, Madam Feng, who had been waiting for a long time, asked hurriedly, "How is it?"

"Fourth sister and the child are both fine, grandma, don't worry." Jiang Yi said.

Madam Feng raised an eyebrow: "Where is the prince?"

Jiang Ancheng looked surprised: "The prince doesn't need to help with childbirth, what's wrong with him?"

Madam Feng rolled her eyes at her son and said, "I mean, isn't Your Highness unhappy that my son gave birth to a girl?"

Jiang Ancheng sneered: "Si'er worked so hard to give him a very pretty daughter, how could he not be happy? Mother, please don't worry about it."

Old Madam Feng was almost choked to death.

Jiang Si woke up and found Yu Jin standing by her side. She couldn't help but smile, "Ah Jin, why don't you go and do your work? Are you going to accompany me during the confinement period?"

Yu Jin laughed and said, "I don't have to go to the government office recently, so what business can I have? Accompanying you is the business."

It is really hard for a woman to be in confinement after giving birth. In June, the doors and windows cannot be opened. He was sweating profusely after just a while in the room. Poor Ah Si still has to endure another month.

"Ah, please write a letter to my second brother for me and tell him that he has a new niece..."
