Chapter 213: The Third Baptism and the Name
Anyone who has given birth knows that it is not easy for women. Seeing her daughter like this, Zhao Xiu's eyes also turned red, but in order to stop Lin Qian from crying, she held the newborn baby in her arms.
"Okay, stop crying and come over to see your daughter."
Wei Xiaoran stood up and took his daughter with stiff hands and feet, as if he was holding a fragile vase in his hands, and he didn't dare to use force.
Then he slowly squatted down again and held his daughter in his arms to show Lin Qian.
As soon as the child was born, the midwife took her aside to be washed. Lin Qian had not seen her yet. Now she looked at her carefully. Her daughter had very black hair, very white skin, and was chubby. Her arms were like lotus roots, one section after another, very cute.
Lin Qian looked at her plump daughter and felt very strange. She actually gave birth to a human being. Then, Lin Qian felt that she was really great.
"Look, the baby's nose and lips are very similar to Qianqian's, but these eyes seem to be carved from the same mold as Xiaoran's." Zhao Xiu said, looking at the baby who opened his eyes.
Lin Qian looked carefully and couldn't tell how her daughter's nose and mouth were the same as hers, but her daughter's eyes were indeed very beautiful, very similar to Wei Xiaoran's.
Lin Qian reached out and touched her daughter's eyes. The first time she saw Wei Xiaoran, she was attracted by his beautiful eyes.
Lin Qian likes the baby's eyes very much.
The two mothers and the young couple were all looking at the baby. The room was very warm. Outside the mother's room, Lin Wu was scratching his head with curiosity: "Is the baby good-looking? Is he fat from eating? Bring him out quickly and let me see him too."
Lin Qian smiled and asked Wei Xiaoran to hand the child to Zhao Xiu: "Mom, hurry up and take the child out to show Dad. Look how anxious he is."
Zhao Xiu nodded, took the child and carried him out to show Lin Wu. Lin Wu looked at his chubby granddaughter, and the corners of his mouth were almost grinning to his ears.
Zhao Xiu didn't dare to stay outside for long with the child in her arms. She let Lin Wu take a look at the child and then took the child back.
After giving birth and struggling for a while, Lin Qian was finally tired. The baby was placed next to his mother and soon fell asleep.
Zhang Yufang and Zhao Xiu took a look and told Lin Qian to have a good rest. Then they left and gave the room to the family of three.
After seeing the door was closed, Lin Qian waited for a while, then took Wei Xiaoran and the baby into the space, and then said to Wei Xiaoran: "I'm all sweaty, sticky and uncomfortable. I'll take a shower before going to sleep."
"Can you take a shower? Or I can wipe you clean." Wei Xiaoran asked with some concern.
"It's okay. Hot spring water is good for the body. I won't wash for long. I'll come up after I'm clean." Lin Qian said.
Wei Xiaoran nodded and slowly helped Lin Qian into the hot spring water. After settling Lin Qian down, he carried his daughter into the water. The couple also washed their daughter.
After doing all this, the three of them left the space. Lin Qian felt very comfortable. She yawned, hugged her daughter, and fell into a deep sleep.
In the next two days, Lin Qian would take her daughter to the space to soak for a while every day. As a result, Lin Qian recovered well, and the baby grew even better.
In just three days, the baby seemed to have grown up. His eyebrows and eyes became clearer, and he became whiter, fatter and cuter.
This made Zhang Yufang very happy. She would come over and hug the baby for a while every day, treating him like her own sweetheart.
Therefore, on the third day of the baby's birth, Zhang Yufang made a grand preparation for the baby, and many people came. When Grandma Xi was bathing the baby, the baby cried so loudly that a lot of water in the golden basin was kicked out.
The ladies were all very fond of the baby's chubby white appearance, so they were very generous and put all kinds of gold ingots, gold peanuts, small goldfish and other golden things into the baby's basin for free.
Lin Qian couldn't go because she was in confinement, but a little girl still came to tell her what happened at the scene.
When Lin Qian heard about the exciting scene ahead, she couldn't help but sigh repeatedly. The little girl, who was only three days old, earned her first pot of gold in life with her cute appearance.
A real pot of gold.
"Madam, madam, the emperor has sent an imperial decree, saying that he wants to give the eldest daughter a name." This time the little maid ran in again and said to Lin Qian.
When Lin Qian heard this, she felt very uncomfortable. They were the baby's parents, so why should they be deprived of the right to name the baby?
In addition, Lin Qian also felt a little sympathy for Wei Xiaoran, because since her daughter was born, Wei Xiaoran had been thinking about it day and night for two days with a book in his hand in order to name her daughter.
She said that her daughter must have a perfect name, but she was overwhelmed by the choices and couldn't make up her mind which one to choose. As a result, the emperor beat her to it and all her efforts were in vain.
Lin Qian felt uncomfortable but couldn't say anything, so she asked the little girl, "Did you hear what name the emperor gave the eldest lady?"
The little girl shook her head: "No, as soon as the father-in-law came, I hurried back to tell the lady, but she didn't have time to listen."
Lin Qian didn't blame her after hearing this. She nodded to her and let the little girl go. Anyway, the name had been given, and someone would definitely come and tell her soon.
Sure enough, after the guests left, Wei Xiaoran came back with his daughter in his arms and a gloomy face.
Lin Qian took her chubby daughter in her arms and kissed her hair hard. After not seeing her for a while, Lin Qian missed her daughter so much.
After kissing her daughter, Lin Qian finally remembered asking about the name and asked Wei Xiaoran: "What name did the emperor give you? Is it nice? If it's not nice, you can give us another one. We don't care about the name he gave us."
Wei Xiaoran snorted coldly and said, "The emperor named his daughter Zitong, Wei Zitong."
Wei Zitong? Lin Qian repeated the two words in her mouth and felt that they sounded quite nice. However, she didn't know where she had heard this Zitong before, so it seemed a little familiar.
"Wei Zitong? This name is quite nice, but why do you look like that?" Lin Qian asked Wei Xiaoran while looking at her grinning daughter in her arms.
Wei Xiaoran snorted coldly and said, "What's so nice about it? Do you know what Zi Tong means?"
Lin Qian shook her head. It sounded familiar, but she really didn't know what it meant.
"The emperor calls his queen Zi Tong." Wei Xiaoran said with his eyes almost blazing with anger.
Lin Qian blinked twice, then opened her mouth wide: "What? The emperor wants to marry our daughter? What about Chen Junqi?"
Wei Xiaoran!
“…”
People say that a woman becomes stupid for three years after she gets pregnant. Wei Xiaoran only now truly feels that this is true. He is speechless.
Lin Qian was also stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she might be wrong. She stammered and asked Wei Xiaoran: "You mean, Your Majesty, you want our daughter to be the next empress?"
Wei Xiaoran nodded and said through gritted teeth, "Isn't it? And since she's named Zi Tong, it means our daughter can only marry the emperor's brat in the future."
