Chapter 402 The Joyful Birth of the Tenth Prince



The platform in front of Cheng'en Hall in the East Palace.

Huan Yue lazily basked in the sun; the early spring sun was so comfortable.

Di Baose and Guo Bing also came over.

Princess Yongning, along with Xie Fufu and Yan Boxuan, were reading under the eaves.

Chengen Hall is large, and so are its eaves. Princess Changning, Princess Guangning, and Chang Zihan are all here.

Everyone is busy with different things, but overall life is quite pleasant.

Sun and the wet nurse brought over Balang and Jiulang as well.

The two are almost a week old. The weather is warm, so they can wear less clothing and can start learning to walk.

However, as soon as Xie Li left, he went to Xie Jie's place, and instead of crying, he started yelling and hitting him.

Xie Jie has a good temper, and he's just like a little fox. The two brothers together are a real show.

Adults are all unscrupulous; as long as these two don't actually fight, they can freely challenge each other from afar.

After all, even if brothers fight fiercely when they're young, they might grow up to be loyal and affectionate.

How smoothly would it have been for the King of Wu and the sage to conquer the Wunu Kingdom if they had cooperated?

General Lü and General Gao were simply unstoppable, conquering most of the Wunu Kingdom, which had already surrendered.

How triumphant! Even if King Wu hadn't dragged his feet and had just gone through the motions, the war wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

With the war affairs handed over to the King of Wu, the sage had time to do other things, so the Crown Prince was idle and sunbathing.

"Aww, Your Majesty~~~" Xie Li was defeated again and went to his second sister-in-law to complain.

"Hehe, Your Majesty~~~" Xie Jie called out a little more clearly than Xie Li. Anyway, who doesn't know how to call someone their second sister-in-law?

"Your Highness!" Yan Boxuan ran over; his aunt was his! Then he called out very politely, "Eighth Uncle, Ninth Uncle, you can't fight!"

Xie Li roared at him, "How dare your nephew boss his uncle around? He deserves a beating!"

Thank you, Uncle. Your baby is so cute, I never meant to hit him. Why not just smile?

A palace attendant rushed over: "Consort Qian has given birth to the tenth prince, and both mother and child are safe!"

Wow! Xie Li cried!

She sat on the ground and cried loudly, "Baby is no longer Father Emperor's favorite child! In the future, Father Emperor will definitely not remember Little Eight when he has Little Ten."

Xie Jie is so happy! I'm so happy with my sister-in-law! Our family has a new member!

Baby wants to spin around and congratulate Daddy! Baby also wants to be a big brother!

Huan Yue said to the eunuch, "We'll go check again tomorrow."

Qian Meimei has given birth; the harem can keep an eye on things, the Crown Prince isn't in a hurry. She needs to rest after giving birth; tomorrow will be perfect.

Di Baose and Chao Yun prepared some things to send over; it was a good thing that a prince had been born!

Huan Yue then ordered someone, "Go and ask your sister-in-law what she plans to do about the baby's third-day celebration?"

This was a full-term birth; the best pregnancy in the palace was probably that of Qian Sha.

She didn't cause much trouble for anyone.

Even Lady Sun found it strange that the palace was so quiet.

All things considered, Xie Li has the most trouble, and if he tries to win favor with Shi Lang, he might lose his advantage.

After all, Qian Sha not only enjoys the Emperor's favor, but is almost becoming the darling of the harem.

The style of the imperial harem is quite unique, which saves the emperor a lot of trouble.

Therefore, he had plenty of energy in the court, and even his two newly favored beauties dared not cause trouble.

Xie Zhou returned.

Xie Li rolled over and hugged his second brother's leg, wailing loudly! Father Emperor no longer dotes on him, so his second brother has to be pampered.

Xie Zhou picked her up, and she stopped crying.

Yan Boxuan said to him, "Isn't your eighth uncle ashamed?"

Xie Li beat him, you unfilial brat!

Yan Boxuan held his little hand and took him to play. The baby can finally play with his uncle!

Xie Li didn't want to go!

Yan Boxuan enthusiastically pulled him along, inviting his ninth uncle to join them, and they envisioned, "When our tenth uncle gets a little older, we'll have a whole bunch of kids to play with!"

Xie Li is about to cry!

Yan Boxuan coaxed him, "Your tenth uncle is the one who cried. You're a big baby now."

Xie Li looked at his unfilial nephew and held back his tears for a long time.

Sun Shi looks quite amusing. Yan Boxuan is truly a treasure; everyone dotes on him the most.

Xie Fufu looked down on him, but Yan Boxuan was acting like an adult. When the play ended, he was still just a little brother.

Sun thought it was great. "You can tell what a person will be like at three years old." It's good that three-year-old Yan Boxuan can learn this from adults.

It's better for children to be together. Sometimes, even if others can't persuade Xie Li, Yan Boxuan has to step in.

Xie Zhou sat next to his wife, sighing, "He doesn't have children yet."

Everyone is on the same page now, and no one wants to ruin the good atmosphere.

Xie Zhou had other news and told his wife, "The Chang family has good news."

Huan Yue was surprised.

So Xie Zhou became even more sour.

Huan Yue ignored him and instead said to Chao Yun, "Send someone to go and take a look at Baishi Village."

Chao Yun nodded with a smile. It was a joyous occasion for the Chang family; the Crown Princess's own nephew and niece were quite nice.

Xie Zhou had something else to say: "This year, the Changhe County area has had a bumper harvest. The highest yield per mu is six shi, and the Chang family's fields are basically five shi."

Huan Yue was surprised; this was impressive!

A yield of 600-700 jin per mu would be good! A yield of 10 shi per mu is unthinkable.

Previously, the yield of fertile land was four to five hundred catties per mu, but now it has increased by about 30%!

This much production increase over many years!

Xie Zhou was overjoyed, pulling his wife along. The common people all believed that the Crown Princess was destined for greatness.

This phoenix destiny is not to be an empress, but to bless the world!

Huan Yue calmed down: "Perhaps it's because of the good mood of Fu and everyone else, and farming naturally has a cycle. This harvest is bountiful, so we must not waste it! Store the grain properly and don't let it spoil, and don't brew too much wine! We still have to protect these good days ourselves!"

Xie Zhou held his wife's small hand in his big hand; he would remember it.

Ordinary people can be short-sighted sometimes, don't blame them, just keep an eye on them.

In fact, what Huan Yue was thinking was, if things are good today, he'll praise you; if things are bad tomorrow, he'll call you a monster.

She doesn't care about her fate; she just hopes everyone is doing well and that it won't affect her.

Xie Zhou smiled; his wife was just that beautiful.

Xie Li crawled over and shouted, "Second Brother, what are you looking at?"

Xie Zhou pulled him aside and said, "You owe everything you have today to your second sister-in-law."

Xie Li looked at his second sister-in-law and gave her a kiss.

Xie Zhou's face darkened.

Di Baose burst into laughter!

Yan Boxuan provoked his second uncle by running over to kiss his aunt and then running away.

Xie Zhou grabbed him and spanked him! It was hard to spank him when he was small, but he was big enough to do it right away.

Consort Zhu hurried over.

Huan Yue blinked. What's wrong?

Zhu said here, "When Consort Qian woke up, she cried and said she wanted a daughter, not a brat. She didn't want to raise him and wanted Qing'e to raise him for her. The Emperor sent me to ask, saying that raising two or three is the same as raising three."

Huan Yue was stunned!

Di Baose was stunned!

She raised the child herself, and she doesn't want to raise another one!

Do you know how hard it is to raise a child?

Zhu was at a loss: "You can't cry during postpartum confinement, and Consort Qian is being stubborn right now. Even the Emperor can't reprimand her." She told Qing'e the truth, "It's a good thing you're not here, otherwise it would be awkward."

Huan Yue is now in an awkward position.

Xie Zhou said, "Then let's raise it."

What else can we do? Even the sage has spoken.

Di Baose thought that Qian Sha was smart; she didn't have to take responsibility for the child and could quickly gain favor.

At least she made it clear, instead of making the child feel wronged or asking the child to curry favor for her.

Di Baose was also very bold, and she had no qualms about raising Qian Sha's son.

Xie Zhou had none. He had a wife and was full of confidence.

Huan Yue looked up at the sky.
