"Hehe, isn't this... isn't this prepared in advance? Look, isn't this being used?" Zhong Zhiling said with a smile, busy changing the subject, and hugged Xiao Yue'er into Helan Ya's arms, saying softly, "Yaya, look, our girl's eyebrows, eyes, and nose are like yours, and her mouth and ears are like mine. That's great, hehe."
"She's so young, how can you tell who she looks like?" Helan Ya said, but her voice was so soft when she said this. She leaned over and kissed little Yue'er's red face, and said softly, "Yu'er, I'm your mother."
"I am daddy," Zhong Zhiling hurriedly followed. Seeing such a small and soft child yawning at him, Zhong Zhiling's heart seemed to melt, and he was so excited that he spoke incoherently, "Yuer, wait a few more days, daddy will take you to Jiangnan, daddy will make a cradle for you, daddy will take you boating, daddy will let you wear silk and satin, eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks for the rest of your life, Yueer, if you want the stars in the sky, daddy will pick them for you, daddy..."
"Alright, alright, Zhong Zhiling, you're going too far!" Helan Ya couldn't stand it any longer. She pushed Zhong Zhiling aside and glared at him. "You didn't even tell me such cheesy words, but you told your daughter, right in front of me. How can you be so kind? You forget about your wife after you got a daughter?"
"I treasure my daughter so much because she's yours," Zhong Zhiling laughed, leaning over to kiss Helan Ya's rosy lips, and said with an apologetic smile, "The kitchen has prepared wolfberry pigeon soup and pork ribs and radish soup, which one do you want, Yaya?"
"Well, I don't want to drink it. It's so greasy." Helan Ya shook her head and said to Zhong Zhiling coquettishly while pouting, "I kind of want to drink the sweet-scented osmanthus wine that Mingwei sent from Jiangnan. Brother Ling, can I drink it now?"
"Well... I'll go ask Doctor Zhang. He's stewing medicine in the kitchen anyway." Zhong Zhiling was a little confused. How could he, a grown man who was becoming a father for the first time, understand all this? He immediately called the wet nurse to carry little Yue'er downstairs, and he stood up and walked out.
"Brother Ling, actually, just leave Yue'er with me," Helan Ya looked at the nurse's back, her eyes full of reluctance. She said she wanted a boy, but she really didn't like little Yue'er. Besides, she hadn't seen enough of little Yue'er. She immediately pulled Zhong Zhiling's hand and said, "Brother Ling, why don't you let the nurse bring little Yue'er back and I'll take care of her for a while."
"No, Doctor Zhang said that you just gave birth to a child, so you have to rest for the next two days. If Xiao Yue'er is here, she will definitely complain that you don't get enough rest. Besides, I heard that women need to take good care of themselves during the confinement period and can't bear any fatigue. So Xiao Yue'er will be taken care of by the wet nurse this month. You just take good care of her," Zhong Zhiling bent down, leaned over and kissed Helan Ya's messy hair, and said softly, "Be good, you can only hold the baby after the confinement period."
"Only the noble ladies of your Great Zhou are so fragile. I don't need that!" Helan Ya looked unconvinced, but seeing Zhong Zhiling's loving expression, her heart was sweet. She rubbed his face and hummed softly, "Brother Ling, thank you."
"Yaya, I should thank you." Zhong Zhiling said softly, kissing Helan Ya's rosy lips again.

On the 30th day of the first lunar month in the first year of Tianding
The capital.
Imperial study.
When Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya were having lunch in the imperial kitchen, Pang Yi led a thin young man to the imperial study. He was bringing this year's top martial arts champion to see Zhong Mingwei. Naturally, this thin young man was the top martial arts champion, but he looked a little weak and gentle, and did not look like someone who was used to wielding a sword or a stick. Instead, he looked like a scholar. Moreover, this young man seemed to be very familiar with Pang Yi. While the emperor and empress were having lunch, the two men waited outside and started chatting.
