Chapter 116



When Zhuang Weiyan woke up, it was already dark. She reached out and touched her forehead and found that there was a headband on it, and her whole body was almost soaked with sweat.

"Your Highness, you're awake." Yun Xi saw her wake up and hurriedly brought a bowl of soup, carefully serving her to drink it, and then said, "The Emperor has been guarding you for a long time and left half an hour ago."

Zhuang Yuyan smiled but couldn't turn over. She whispered, "Bring the prince here for me to have a look."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xi put down the bowl, turned around and asked the wet nurse to bring the prince from the compartment over. Zhuang Weiyan looked at the baby sleeping peacefully in the cradle and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to yours, and his nose and mouth are like the Emperor's," Yun Xi whispered, "The Emperor has held the Fourth Prince for a long time this year."

This child is the fourth in line of birth, so everyone in the palace now calls him the Fourth Prince.

Zhuang Yuyan reached out and touched the baby's nose. Seeing his mouth move, she couldn't help laughing. Coincidentally, at this moment, the Fourth Prince slowly opened his eyes and just "looked" in her direction.

Although she knew that a newborn baby couldn't see clearly, Zhuang Weiyan still thought that the child was looking for her, so she happily teased the child and even forgot that she was hot.

After playing with the child for a while, Zhuang Yuyan asked someone to take the child away. She wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief and complained, "Even my hair is wet. Why is it so hot?"

"My lady, I heard that you had postpartum fever after giving birth. It will be fine in a few days." Yun Xi covered her arm again and put it under the silk quilt. "Don't let the wind blow, otherwise your arm will hurt in the future."

Zhuang Yuyan knew that this was the so-called confinement period and felt helpless: "Why do you need to be so careful? It's so hot, you won't catch a cold."

"My queen, there will be wind in this summer." Yun Xi only left one window in the room. Seeing that Zhuang Yuyan did not continue to stretch out her arm, she was relieved. "I heard that women should be careful during confinement, otherwise it will be difficult to recover from the root of the disease."

Zhuang Yuyan knew that one of her colleagues in her previous life often held her child shortly after giving birth, and later suffered from back pain and cold in the bones of her arms on rainy days. Although she didn't know if it was related to the confinement period, it was a fact that her health was not as good as before after giving birth.

After lying in bed for an hour or two, Zhuang Yuyan fell asleep again. She seemed to dream that there was a child lying on her chest, smiling and calling her mother. She was so happy that when she opened her eyes, it was already dawn. She turned her head and saw the emperor sitting next to her.

"Your Majesty?!" She felt that she would not look very pretty with sweat all over her head.

"Don't move," Feng Jin held her down, turned around and took the fourth prince from the nurse's arms into his own arms, and smiled at her, "The child just had milk, and he hasn't slept yet."

Zhuang Yuyan turned her head to look over, and Feng Jian held the child lower so that she could see the child.

The little child was now indeed blinking his grape-like eyes, smacking his lips, and moving his fingers, which made Zhuang Yuyan feel better again.

"The child is too young to be named. Why not give him a nickname for us to call him by?" Feng Jin extended his index finger and touched the corner of the Fourth Prince's mouth. He then opened his mouth to hold his finger. Seeing this, he smiled and said, "This personality is somewhat like yours."

Isn't it just that she's a foodie? Zhuang Yuyan snorted, "It's a blessing for a son to look like his mother." Then she said, "Why not call him Baozi? His face is white and round, which is good."

Feng Jin frowned: "This bun is not the kind that ordinary people eat. It seems a bit vulgar."

"It's better to be vulgar," she knew she couldn't give her son a formal name, so she tried hard to get a nickname, regardless of the fact that he was the emperor. "These buns are loved by the common people, so what's wrong with that?"

"In that case, let's call him by this nickname," Feng Jin felt that he had fought for his son, and the result was not important.

The sweet and soft child in his arms felt so light and yet so heavy. Feng Jin had never thought that he would be so cautious one day. Such a small child couldn't even stand up, but in his eyes, it felt like his heart was filled with love.

Seeing the woman on the bed who was sweating profusely but smiling, he reached out and wiped the sweat off her forehead. "Have a good rest. When the child is one month old, I will hold a grand one-month banquet for him."

After sitting with Zhuang Yuyan for a long time, Feng Jian got up and left. It was obvious that he did not take the saying that women in confinement were dirty seriously.

Gao Dezhong followed behind him and valued Concubine Zhao more and more. As long as the Fourth Prince grew up well, Concubine Zhao would be the unrivaled existence in the harem.

Zhuang Yuyan was unable to attend the third-day bathing ceremony in person, but Feng Jian did not mind much, as he only cared about the people present, as long as they had both sons and daughters.

One month is neither long nor short. When Zhuang Yuyan came out of confinement, she felt relaxed all over. She changed into new clothes and appeared at the full-month banquet holding her child. Everyone's eyes were on the child in her arms.

The Queen personally motioned for her to sit down to her right, then she stood up and walked in front of her, looking at the Fourth Prince who had grown up slowly with a smile: "The Fourth Prince has a full forehead, he will definitely be a man who can stand tall and proud."

Zhuang Yuyan smiled and said, "Thank you, Her Majesty, for your kind words."

The queen looked at her and asked, "Can I hug you?"

Zhuang Yuyan put the child into the queen's arms without hesitation, "This child just eats a lot."

The queen was startled, then carefully held the Fourth Prince in her arms, and was careful not to let the bracelet touch the Fourth Prince. She held the child tightly and carefully returned the child to Zhuang Yuyan. Even so, her eyes were still on the Fourth Prince.
