Chapter 830 Name
Soon, the news of the birth of the emperor's eldest grandson spread throughout the entire palace, the whole of Chang'an, and even the whole country.
In such a war-torn and chaotic world, any good news, even if it has nothing to do with oneself, is a comfort and encouragement to people's hearts. Moreover, the people living under the rule of the Great Sheng Dynasty have long hoped that the Yuwen clan, who are kind to their own children and brave in battle, can unify the world as soon as possible and end this era of war. Therefore, the birth of a child may not seem to add any help, but it makes them more confident in the future of the dynasty.
After all, that was the child of Yuwen Ye, the Prince of Qin, who had quelled countless rebellions and killed countless traitors!
Therefore, the people were overjoyed, especially the people in Chang'an, who celebrated for several days in a row. In his joy, Yuwen Yuan not only reduced taxes in many places, but also rewarded the Princess Consort of Qin with a thousand pieces of gold, and countless other gifts were continuously sent into Qianqiu Palace.
However, the Princess Consort of Qin, who received the reward, continued to live in Chengqian Palace.
Those in the palace avoided discussing the matter. After all, the fact that the Princess Consort of Qin gave birth in the Crown Prince's palace was an incident that was difficult and even more taboo to discuss. Moreover, the Crown Prince had hastily left the palace that very night after the birth, moved into his own residence, and did not visit the palace for several days, seemingly confirming his last, unheard murmur that night—
I'll leave all of these to you.
Shang Ruyi, of course, didn't know either.
Given her personality and status, she was unwilling to stay in a place that was not hers but belonged to the Crown Prince to recuperate. However, just as she had no idea that childbirth was a gamble with a high chance of survival, she also did not know that she would be so weak after giving birth. These days, she did not even have the strength to get out of bed, and all her eating and drinking could only be done in bed with the help of others.
This made her even angrier. At first, she was angry at her own weakness, then she was angry at the "burden" she was carrying on the children around her, and finally, she came to her senses.
It's all Yuwen Ye's fault!
If it weren't for him, why would I have to go through such pain and torment?
Now he's become a father without any real pain or discomfort, leaving all the agony, weakness, and inconvenience to himself. It's so unfair!
So these days, Shang Ruyi's temper has been exceptionally bad. She complains and curses at the slightest provocation. Surprisingly, Yuwen Ye has tolerated it all. Moreover, His Highness Prince Qin, who is usually stern and can frighten a group of people into not daring to breathe with just a glance, has begun to show a gentle, loving, and even ingratiating smile on his cold face.
Just as Shang Ruyi was stubbornly trying to get out of bed, but her legs were so weak that she was about to fall, suddenly, a hand was placed in front of her.
When she looked up again, she met Yuwen Ye's smiling eyes.
The same thing happened for the past two days. Whenever she wanted to do something, even before she was given any instructions, Yuwen Ye would act faster than Tushe'er and the others. Moreover, he would not simply take what she wanted or carry her there directly, but would patiently support her, allowing her to take what she wanted step by step and do what she wanted.
It's still better than living a life where you have everything handed to you.
But Shang Ruyi still glared at him: "Hypocrite!"
Yuwen Ye smiled and still held out his arm for her to help him up, while his other hand reached out to loosely embrace her waist to prevent her from actually collapsing. The two of them walked slowly forward together until they reached the table and stopped. Shang Ruyi poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then another.
Yuwen Ye said, "You should drink less tea. The Imperial Kitchen has already prepared soup for you."
Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi frowned and said unhappily, "You're always drinking soup, it's made your mouth tasteless."
She was someone who enjoyed rich and flavorful food, and it was indeed difficult for her to endure eating bland food for several days in a row. Yuwen Ye simply said in a gentler voice, "Just bear with it for these few days. Physician Su said that it's best for you not to eat anything too strong-flavored during these days. You'll feel better after your confinement period."
Shang Ruyi glared at him angrily again.
Yuwen Ye still smiled, and as he smiled, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "After this month, I'll take you out of the palace to eat something delicious, okay?"
These words seemed familiar. Shang Ruyi blinked and then remembered that when they were stationed at Luokou Ferry, Yuwen Ye had promised to take her to Tinghelou to eat delicious food. Later, he really did take her to Tinghelou and they ate the Xiaotiansu and other delicacies there.
So she immediately said, "Then, I also want to eat Xiaotiansu, braised chicken tongue, and cherry meat."
Yuwen Ye's eyes lit up as well.
He had clearly remembered everything from back then, and when he looked at the young woman in front of him, who was puffed up with anger but still had a touch of naivety despite being a mother, his smile deepened, and he said softly, "Okay, whatever you say."
After saying that, he reached out and pressed down on Shang Ruyi's wrist, which was about to bring the teacup to her lips, and said, "Then, drink less of this."
"oh."
Shang Ruyi finally obediently put down her cup.
Just as they were about to turn back, something occurred to them, and they asked, "By the way, where's the child?"
She had just taken a nap with the child, but when she woke up, the child was gone. Yuwen Ye helped her walk back and said, "I took the child to the wet nurse at Qianqiu Palace. He was hungry when he woke up and I was afraid he would disturb you."
"oh."
Shang Ruyi nodded and then asked, "By the way, haven't you decided what to name the child yet?"
In fact, during the months of pregnancy, the two of them had come up with names for the child more than once, including both boys and girls, and some of them were quite exquisite. They originally thought that once the child was born and they knew the gender, they would only need to choose one. However, several days have passed and Yuwen Ye still hasn't decided, so they can only call their child "baby" for now.
Yuwen Ye said, "Father Emperor said he would decide on this matter."
"oh?"
“This is his eldest grandson, and he said that he must decide on the name.”
Hearing this, Shang Ruyi was quite pleased and couldn't help but laugh, "Then, what name will he choose?"
At this moment, Yuwen Ye had already helped her back to the bedside and sat her down, saying, "Who knows?"
Shang Ruyi sat down and felt that her body was much more stable than before. Although she could not move as freely as before, she was no longer as weak and powerless as before. Looking up at the palace where she had lived for several days, which still felt very unfamiliar and made her uncomfortable, she said, "Feng Chen, shouldn't we go back?"
