Although the emperor issued an imperial decree

to confer Mu Tianchi the title of crown prince, the actual ceremony of conferring the title has not yet been held. All matters related to the ceremony of conferring the title are handled by the Ministry of Rites. In order to satisfy the emperor and the crown prince, the Ministry of Rites and the Qintianjian gave several auspicious days for the emperor to choose.

The emperor tasted the sweetness of letting the crown prince do hard work, and began to hand over more and more things to the crown prince. Naturally, the crown prince's opinion was also consulted for the ceremony of conferring the title. To the emperor's surprise, the crown prince chose the most distant auspicious day, half a year later.

Although the Jingwang Mansion has now been changed to the Crown Prince's Mansion, and everyone has changed their words, in fact, there is still one step to officially become the crown prince. The ceremony of conferring the title is the last procedure and cannot be exempted.

The emperor did not expect the prince to be so unhurried, but thinking that the princess consort would give birth in two months, he seemed to understand a little.

Since this was the date proposed by the Ministry of Rites, there was nothing wrong with it. The longer the time, the more preparations there would be.

Since the prince was interested in this day, the emperor did not need to make it difficult, and he readily approved it.

Li Yu was secretly relieved to learn that the ceremony of conferring the title of prince would be held after he gave birth.

His body was getting heavier and heavier, and as the prince's wife, he had to be present at the ceremony of conferring the title of prince. I heard that the dynasty would have to offer sacrifices at such an important moment, and he would have to stay up all day, and it would be very difficult to endure with a big belly.

For this day, Li Yu bit the bullet and asked Wang Xi to help him make a lot of soft cushions in case of emergency. Now that they were not needed for the time being, Li Yu was very fortunate.

The prince is not the type to seek credit. As long as Li Yu is not worried, the prince will be happy. Wang Xi knew the truth and was very upset. If the prince did not say anything, the eunuch Wang would speak for him.

The prince has been in the Ministry of Rites for some time. The date for the canonization ceremony was not considered by the Ministry of Rites. After all, it was a long time away. Fearing that the prince would not be happy, the prince personally consulted the Minister of Rites and added this date. It was also the prince who strongly recommended this date in front of the emperor.

Wang Xi revealed this secret, and Li Yu went from being relieved to being moved.

Only after the official canonization can the prince become a real prince. It can be seen how important the canonization ceremony is to the prince. Li Yu is also very clear about this, so he thought about getting through it no matter what.

However, the prince was willing to postpone such an important ceremony of enthronement for him, just to make it convenient for him. Although the prince could not directly share his pain of childbirth, he really did a lot for him.

Li Yu was also willing to be braver for the prince. If he was in excruciating pain, he could at most wait until the birth to bite a few more times to get it back.

As the remaining days approached, Li Yu was no longer afraid.

His belly grew more and more, which meant that the little cotton knit was also growing.

Halfway through the ninth month, Li Yu's belly was so big that he could no longer see his feet, like a ball. Li Yu used to be able to take care of the love meals, but now he didn't dare to cook by himself. Even if he dared, the prince would not allow it, so the love meals had to be abandoned. After

the belly became heavy, not only was his movement restricted, but his sleep was also uneasy. Li Yu was better at night, but it was almost impossible for him to fall asleep during his afternoon nap. After the prince learned about this, he would get up early every morning to attend court, and would rush back at noon to accompany Li Yu for lunch and nap. He would wait until Li Yu fell asleep before leaving. Li Yu felt more comfortable when he was held in his arms.

Xiao Luo was restless and always wanted to help her master solve problems. Seeing this, she whispered to Qin: "It's not a good idea for your highness to always run around. Why don't we make a big soft pillow for your master together?"

"You can think of it, so how can your highness not think of it?"

Qin smiled. Your highness would rather pamper your master more, so how could he feel tired.

Xiao Luo was a girl, and she finally understood after Qin's advice. Qin said to Xiao Luo meaningfully in the tone that Wang Xi had taught her: "You will understand more in the future."

Xiao Luo nodded with a red face.

Time flies. On this day, Li Yu felt a little sore in his waist when he got up in the morning, but since it was not yet October, Li Yu did not care much. After breakfast, he usually took a walk in the yard. Wang Xi would personally clean the yard every day, and there was not even a speck of dust on the ground.

Li Yu walked with the help of Xiao Luo and several other eunuchs. For some reason, his legs were particularly tired today, and he could not walk after just a few steps.

Li Yu did not dare to walk down reluctantly, so he found a chair and sat for a while. When he stood up, he did not stand steadily. Fortunately, Xiao Luo was there and supported him.

Li Yu felt his heart pounding. Although he did not fall, his whole body did not feel right.

Xiao Luo knows medicine. After checking Li Yu's pulse, he immediately asked him to sit down and ordered someone to call the doctor. The Crown Princess's due date is approaching, and the Crown Prince has also invited a doctor. Recently, he has been living in the mansion. When the doctor came, the imperial physician who must come every day also arrived. They checked Li Yu's pulse together. They all knew that the Crown Princess had mobilized. Wang Xi had invited the midwife to come over. After getting the imperial physician's confirmation, he rushed to find the Crown Prince.

Li Yu thought he was just frightened: ? ? ?

I didn't expect the little cotton bag to come out in a hurry. Is he going to give birth so suddenly!

The prince had already selected three clean-handed midwives for Li Yu, and the delivery room was ready for them. The midwives rushed over when they heard the news and looked at Li Yu's belly. Although they had no experience delivering babies for men, the princess said it was almost the same for women. The midwives had a good idea in their hearts and ordered their servants to boil water and prepare food in an orderly manner.

Although the labor had started, it was still some time before the actual birth. The midwives asked Li Yu to eat as much as possible and walk more to facilitate the birth.

Li Yu had heard Princess Jin Jue talk about this experience many times. When the midwives came, he began to feel a little pain in his stomach.

It was not a particularly severe pain, but a dull pain. When it reached a certain level, his waist began to ache, but it was still within the range he could bear. After a while, the pain subsided.

Grandma Wen said that everyone's labor was different. Some people just felt pain, while others had back pain. The pain had to become more frequent before they could start giving birth.

After these steps, Li Yu was done. Xiaoluo came over and handed Li Yu a small bowl of freshly cooked shrimp dumplings. Li Yu was in good condition and could scoop dumplings to eat by himself. Seeing Xiaoluo's worried face, Li Yu was still in the mood to joke.

At this time, Li Yu, who used to be anxious, calmed down. Anyway, no matter how worried he was, he would give birth, so he just had to focus on it!

The prince must be on the way. Li Yu wanted to see Lao Gong so much that his nose was a little sour.

He was looking forward to the prince's return, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. When the prince suddenly appeared, Li Yu hadn't even finished a bowl

of shrimp dumplings. He was holding half a dumpling in his mouth, chewing with a slight bump on his cheek. The prince broke into the room, and Li Yu was startled, and the other half of the dumpling in the spoon fell.

"Xiao Yu!"

The prince rushed over without paying attention to anyone else, and hugged Li Yu in his arms. Xiao Luo and Wang Xi stood aside unconsciously, acting as a background.

"Tianchi! I'm giving birth!" Li Yu hugged him tightly.

In fact, Li Yu was still a little scared in his heart. He gained courage as soon as the prince came.

"Don't be afraid... I'll accompany you." The prince said gently, wiping the sweat from his forehead for him.

Li Yu nodded, and then he found that the prince, who was always as steady as a mountain, had a pale face and his hands were shaking slightly. He looked even more nervous than he who was going to "go to the battlefield".

Li Yu was amused and moved, and was in the mood to tease him: "Your Highness, have you asked for leave?"

"...I forgot."

The prince got the news that Li Yu was going to give birth, and he went back to the mansion without telling the minister.

Li Yu laughed.

The prince picked up the bowl and fed Li Yu some dumplings and a peach cake.

Li Yu's stomach had just calmed down for a while, and then it started to hurt again. This time it hurt more than last time, and it was so sour that he felt uncomfortable.

Li Yu was speechless and bit his lips tightly, trying to get through this.

The prince pulled up his sleeves and held them in front of him. Li Yu's eyes were red and he shook his head. The old man came to see him and still stopped biting.

After this wave of pain passed, the old woman asked Li Yu to get off the ground and walk a little. Li Yu's legs were weak from the pain, but there was nothing he could do. He had to walk. Xiao Luo came over to help Li Yu, and the prince said, "Let me do it."

He held Li Yu in his arms and let Li Yu lean on him, walking very slowly.

Li Yu's clothes were soaked with sweat, but even at this moment, he felt that he could still bear it.

He didn't know how long he had walked. When Li Yu felt pain, he sat down to slow down, and when he felt better, he continued to walk, repeating the same cycle over and over again. During this time, the widow came over and touched Li Yu's belly several times, and finally said, "You can go to the delivery room."

"...I'm leaving." Li Yu whispered.

He tried to move his lips, trying to get a final victory kiss.

The prince kissed the corner of his lips, held his hand and said, "Let's go."

Li Yu: "..."

Li Yu was a little entangled with the prince's decisiveness. The prince didn't seem reluctant, but he soon found the reason.

The prince didn't hand him over to the widow, but accompanied him into the delivery room.

He lay down on the couch according to the widow's words, thinking that the prince would say goodbye, but the prince didn't mean to leave and kept guarding the couch.

Several widows were busy and ignored the prince. It was obvious that they had been scolded.

"You-"

Why don't you leave? Li Yu couldn't believe it.

In ancient times, the delivery room was a dirty place. Not only would people of high status not enter, but even ordinary men would rarely enter. However, the prince had been there for a long time.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaoyu, I'll accompany you." The prince said again.

Li Yu finally understood what the prince meant by accompanying him. He closed his eyes and nodded, letting the tears flow down.

He took a deep breath, and he was not afraid even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead.

No matter how long the pain was, there would always be a pair of hands holding him tightly, giving him the courage and strength to support him.

Li Yu tried his best to follow the instructions of the old woman. Before he lost consciousness from exhaustion, he seemed to hear the system sound, the crying of a child, and a familiar call... After

an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes and found himself surrounded by a halo, and in front of him was the system interface.

Thinking back, he seemed to have fainted from exhaustion. Did that lead him to the system?

He was still giving birth. Is Little Cotton-padded Jacket okay? And the prince, the prince was also waiting for him!

"...Host, please don't worry. You have successfully completed the 'Intimate Cotton-padded Jacket' branch quest, and your daughter has joined the team." The system told Li Yu in due time.

The interface immediately displayed that the status of the "Intimate Cotton-padded Jacket" branch quest was completed.

Ha, so the birth was finally completed?

I am worthy of it!

Li Yu forgot the pain after the scar healed, and became proud.

Although Little Cotton-padded Jacket was born as a baby, not a fish, it can also be checked through the "Fish Baby Status" when it joined the team.

Li Yu then hurried to see Little Cotton-padded Jacket, only to see Xiao Luo and Qin Shi washing a baby with thick, pink and round hair.

Li Yu's heart almost softened, this was his and the prince's daughter.

He took good care of this baby, even though she was just born, her skin was not wrinkled at all, on the contrary it was somewhat rosy.

As if she knew he was looking at her, the baby's eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened, and her dark eyes looked up into the air, as if she was looking at Li Yu from a distance.

Li Yu covered his mouth and laughed.

This child looked like him and Mu Tianchi, and it was obvious that they were both having a child.

He stared at her in a daze for a long time, until he could no longer look at her.

The system reminded Li Yu to collect the branch quest reward, and Li Yu reluctantly turned to look at something else.

This branch quest reward was very unique, it enhanced his healing ability and reduced the pain of childbirth.

Li Yu's thoughts: What's the point of giving these now? He has already suffered the most. The system is really a hindsight.

The system knows the host's inner thoughts very well: "Host is not satisfied with the reward. Do you want to cancel it?"

Li Yu: ... No, ah ah, something is better than nothing! Even if it is a hindsight, the less pain the better!

Li Yu left the system. It was not easy to wake up this time. His eyelids were so heavy that he could hardly open his eyes. He was at ease in the system just now. After leaving the system, he felt weak. He was very glad that he received the reward first.

His body was still aching, but it was much better than the pain during childbirth. His throat was so dry that it was almost smoking.

Li Yu rolled his eyes and looked around. The room he was in was dark. Only a candle on the table was lit, and he could vaguely make out the furnishings of the bedroom.

It seemed that he had been cleaned up and moved to the bedroom.

Li Yu cleared his throat and wanted to call for help, but someone nearby called out, "Xiao Yu..."

Li Yu was too familiar with this hoarse voice, and was surprised and happy.

The room was dim, and he didn't notice Mu Tianchi at first, thinking that he was not there. In fact, he had been watching over him, waiting for him to wake up.

"Xiao Yu." Mu Tianchi didn't allow him to get up. He first fed him a cup of warm tea, and then called the imperial physician to come and check Li Yu's pulse.

The imperial physician had actually checked Li Yu once when he was unconscious, and the crown prince ordered another check to confirm that the crown princess was fine.

Li Yu looked out the door eagerly: "Where is Little Cotton-padded Jacket?"

Although he had seen his daughter in the system, he had never actually held her in his arms.

Mu Tianchi smiled and said, "She's still packing. Wait a minute."

Wang Xi came in with a pink swaddle in her arms soon after. The prince took the swaddle and held the child to Li Yu.

Li Yu touched his daughter's hand and looked at Little Cotton-padded Jacket's rosy cheeks. It was exactly the same as what he saw in the system. Dad Yu kissed his daughter's face with satisfaction.

Li Yu was very tired. It was very exhausting to be awake for a while, and he fell asleep again soon.

Mu Tianchi covered him and his daughter with a quilt and kissed them both on the forehead.

There were footsteps outside the house, and several children came over.

"Dad, Dad!" the children shouted.

Several children were studying in Yu's study during the day. When the emperor learned that Li Yu was about to give birth, he took them to the Qianqing Palace and kept them for a few more hours. Only now did he let them go back home to avoid the prince and his wife being in a hurry.

"Hush..." Mu Tianchi stopped the children and said softly, "Daddy is tired, don't bother him."

The children nodded and promised not to make a noise, so the prince let them go. Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, and Sibao tiptoed to Daddy Yu's bed.

First, I looked at my sister. My sister is really small, even smaller than Uncle Ye's sister. Then I looked at Daddy Yu. Daddy Yu was still sleeping soundly.
