Nowadays, Zhong Zhiling seldom goes to the camp, and all the major and minor military affairs are left to Meng Tan to handle. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhong Zhiling wants to cultivate Meng Tan, but it is unknown who will be more capable of taking on the heavy responsibility of King Pingxi in the future, the general sent by the court or Meng Tan.
"Wow!"
Suddenly, a loud cry of a child was heard from the backyard. The cry was so loud that it would not have been heard in the front yard.
"It's born! It's born!" A soldier clapped his hands and stamped his feet excitedly, as if he were even more excited than if he were the father. "From the sound, it must be a big fat boy! Great! The prince has an heir!"
"Yes! Judging from his voice, it must be a son!" Another soldier also said happily, "It must be a son! Our Northwest Army has a new prince!"
Meng Tan looked at them all so happy that he was naturally happy too, but he never showed his emotions on his face, so he just drank two cups of tea happily. When he was about to go to the backyard to congratulate Zhong Zhiling and Helan Ya, he saw a maid holding a tray running in with a happy look on her face.
"The prince knows that the generals must be anxiously waiting, so he specially asked me to come and announce the good news," the maid said as she handed a tray filled with wedding candies and eggs to Meng Tan, smiling, "The prince and princess have a daughter!"
"A... a rich girl?" Meng Tan was so shocked that he couldn't speak fluently. "Is... a rich girl?"
"Yes, the prince is so happy that his mouth is almost grinning from ear to ear!" Thinking of Zhong Zhiling's appearance, the maid couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, while bowing to Meng Tan and others, "I have to go to the backyard to serve the princess, goodbye."
The maid was about to leave when she was stopped by a general: "Little sister, is the prince free to see us?"
"I'm busy. The prince has ordered that during the princess's confinement period, he will not see anyone except those from the capital. If there is anything, just go and find General Meng to handle it." The maid said, and then hurriedly ran out, picking up her skirt.
A group of soldiers stood in the room, looking at each other, and no one spoke. It was not until Meng Tan came over with a tray and gave each of them a handful of wedding candy and eggs that the soldiers started chatting and laughing again, eating the wedding candy as they left the Prince of Pingxi's Mansion.

backyard.
Helan Ya was lying on the bed, watching Zhong Zhiling walking around the bedroom with the baby in his arms. Seeing him so happy, Helan Ya also kept laughing. Even though she felt exhausted all over, she couldn't suppress the joy and satisfaction in her heart.
"Come, let mother see our little Yue'er." Zhong Zhiling held the child and carefully sat down on the edge of the bed, then brought the child to Helan Ya and said to Helan Ya with a smile, "Our little Yue'er is just like mother, born with beauty. She is a big beauty at first glance!"
What Zhong Zhiling said was right. The child in his arms was quite different from ordinary Da Zhou babies. Although he was just born, his eyebrows and eyes were very deep, his eyelashes were thick and long, and his nose was also round. You could tell at a glance that this baby looked like his mother and would definitely be stunningly beautiful in the future. You could also tell at a glance that this baby was of exotic blood.
"Xiao Yue'er?" Helan Ya's focus was no longer on the fact that the baby was a big beauty. Instead, she glared at Zhong Zhiling, "You picked a name long ago, but you didn't tell me?"
"How could I not tell you? Isn't this...I just remembered it?" Zhong Zhiling was stunned, and then hurriedly said, "Yaya, does this name sound good to you? Xiaoyue'er, Xiaoyue'er, isn't it very easy to say?"
"You're just pretending!" Helan Ya glared at him again and snorted, "You've been looking forward to having a girl for a long time, and you even hid the name from me. Humph! Zhong Zhiling, you're really capable."
