Chapter 589 Daughter
Li Taohua came out holding the newborn baby and said to the people who gathered around, "It's a beautiful little girl."
"Mom, let me hug you." Tang Yi smiled and stretched out his hand. Just as he was about to hug her in his arms, Tang Yichen next to him got there first.
Tang Yichen hugged the baby, looked at the baby's cute face, and said, "She looks like a younger sister."
"I think he looks like my brother-in-law." Tang Yi muttered with a smile.
Tang Yichen raised his head and looked over, his eyes were cold.
"She looks like my second sister." Tang Yixiao had no choice but to compromise under the tyranny of his eldest brother.
Puyang Qiubai took it and looked at the little one in his arms carefully, his eyes full of love: "Such a small one, just like Yinyin when she was just born."
The others also couldn't let go and vie for holding it, but were stopped by Li Taohua.
Li Taohua took the child back and said unhappily, "This newborn is very delicate. Don't touch her. Let the nurse take her away to feed her first."
"How is Yinyin?" Ouyang Qianyu asked.
"Don't worry. Yinyin is in good health, everything is going well, and she didn't suffer much." Li Taohua said, "But that girl is very vain and doesn't want you to see her current state. Let you all be busy with your own things, and she will see you after she finishes her confinement."
"Forty days? She hasn't been seen for forty days?" Ouyang Qianyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Our Yinyin is naturally beautiful. She looks great no matter what."
"You have to tell her this. It's useless to tell me." Li Taohua said helplessly, "If the son-in-law hadn't sneaked in just now, she wouldn't even have seen him!"
"It all depends on Yinyin's mood. If she doesn't want to see people in her current appearance, then she shouldn't see them. We can come again when she wants to see us." Puyang Qiubai said to Li Taohua, "Aunt Li, please tell Yinyin that when she comes out of confinement, all those dirty things will be gone, and she will be greeted by sunshine and flowers."
Forty days sounds like a long number, but surrounded by love, time flies and the forty-day confinement period is over quickly.
Qin Huiyin stood in front of the bronze mirror, looking at her chubby figure, her eyes full of distress.
Song Ruize hugged her from behind and said with a smile: "My wife is so beautiful."
"Don't try to trick me." Qin Huiyin touched the flesh around her waist, frowned, and said angrily, "But in three months at most, I will definitely be able to return to my original slim figure."
"My dear Yinyin, you need time to recuperate after giving birth. When you are well, you will definitely look better than before. Let's not rush now, okay?"
Song Ruize let go of her, took the box next to him, opened it and saw that there were very luxurious robes inside.
"How many pearls and gems are there on it?" Qin Huiyin looked at the gorgeous robe in front of her with amazement.
"And..." Song Ruize said, bringing another box.
He opened the box, and inside was a crown of exquisite craftsmanship, rare materials, and a collection of various gemstones.
"Husband, this isn't something that money can buy, is it?"
"This is a treasure in the palace. Your brother said that you are the eldest princess of Taixi Kingdom. No one else is qualified to own this tiara except you."
"Taixi Kingdom?" Qin Huiyin was curious, "My brother ascended the throne?"
"Not yet. He will ascend the throne after you finish your confinement, and then bestow titles on these loyal ministers and generals who followed him throughout the country. In addition, the generals of the Wei family army will also be canonized. After all, they played a very important role in overthrowing the old system."
Qin Huiyin did not find Puyang Qiubai's behavior strange.
Puyang Qiubai was not a petty person. He would confer titles on the people he brought with him, and he would also confer titles on the people brought by Wei Zhaoyan. As long as they were useful to the country and the people, they would be valued by him.
"What about the masters around my brother?" Qin Huiyin asked, "Will they stop my brother from recruiting Wei Zhaoyan's subordinates?"
"Those people asked to leave, saying they wanted to retire and return home." Song Ruize hugged Qin Huiyin and said, "They are really loyal to the Puyang family. You suffered so much injustice because of them before, and I wanted to teach them a lesson, but it was your brother who pleaded for them. Now that I see that they are so sensible, I admire them a little. All the decisions they made were for your brother, even if some of them were made in the belief that they were doing good for your brother, at least their intentions were good."
"I was worried that they would take advantage of their age and achievements and have some say over my brother over the years, and would become an obstacle to my brother. Now it seems that I underestimated their righteousness." Qin Huiyin said, "By the way, what is our daughter's name?"
"Don't worry about what your daughter's name is yet. You have to get used to her title first—" Song Ruize said with a smile, "Princess Mingke."
"My daughter was named a princess right after she was born?" Qin Huiyin said helplessly, "Then did you, as a father, choose a good name for the child?"
"Ruozhen, Yunxiu, Lingyi, Moheng, Wansheng..." Song Ruize said a long list of names.
Qin Huiyin listened to these names, picked out her favorite one, and said, "Song Wansheng is good, I like this one."
"Okay. Then our daughter will be named Song Wansheng, nicknamed Yunxiu, and given the name by the new emperor - Princess Mingke."
There was a noisy sound coming from the door, and Ouyang Qianyu came in with large and small bags of things.
There were many followers behind her, and each of them was holding many things in their hands.
"Yinyin, I calculated the time and you should be out of confinement." Ouyang Qianyu asked the attendants to move the things in and asked the housekeeper to put them away while walking towards Qin Huiyin. "Oh my god, Yinyin, your skin is too good, isn't it? Let me pinch you, can you give yourself such baby-like skin if you give birth to a daughter?"
Song Ruize knew that the two women wanted to chat about personal matters and it would be inappropriate for them to just stand there, so he said something to Ouyang Qianyu and went off to get busy.
The new emperor had not yet ascended the throne, and the new emperor's confidants were busy every day. If it weren't for the fact that Yinyin had just given birth and his brother couldn't tie him up, he would have no time to go back to the Song Mansion.
As soon as Song Ruize left, Ouyang Qianyu pulled Qin Huiyin towards the swing not far away, and they sat on the swing together.
"Before you didn't let us see you, we were worried that you were not in good condition. Now it seems that we were worrying too much. Lord Song treats you like the apple of his eye, how could you not be in good condition? In the final analysis, it's just the beauty's mind at work. Because she is too beautiful on weekdays, she suddenly becomes embarrassed and doesn't want others to see her appearance."
Qin Huiyin had just given birth and her figure had not yet recovered, so she was a little anxious. As Ouyang Qianyu said, she had been beautiful for so many years, and suddenly became ugly. How could she not care about her image? However, Ouyang Qianyu's praise for her was so sincere, and the look in her eyes was so burning that the anxiety in her heart completely disappeared.
"Qianyu, you are really fine!" Qin Huiyin hugged Ouyang Qianyu's arm and rubbed her body. "I heard from my husband that my brother wants to make you the queen?"
Ouyang Qianyu's expression became stiff.
Qin Huiyin saw his expression and looked at her puzzledly: "Are you unhappy?"
"There's nothing to be happy about..." Ouyang Qianyu said, "We know each other well, and I was originally assigned to him..."
Qin Huiyin didn't know what was going on between them.
She looked at Ouyang Qianyu and said seriously, "Did the noble families in the past like to arrange marriages? As soon as a child was born, they would immediately find a partner for the child?"
Ouyang Qianyu chuckled: "Yes, we should ask them a hundred years later to find out what they think. Aren't they worried about a few resentful couples?"
"Sister Qianyu, do you like my brother?" Qin Huiyin asked.
Ouyang Qianyu was silent.
"You don't like him!" Qin Huiyin pretended to be regretful, "What a pity. I originally thought that you two were quite a match. If you don't have that intention towards my brother, I will go to him personally and make it clear so that he won't dream of eating swan meat. Even if he wants to be the emperor, so what? My sister Qianyu doesn't like him."
"Don't talk nonsense." Ouyang Qianyu covered her mouth, her face full of shyness. "Even if all the men in the world turned into toads, your brother would not be one."
"I just said a few bad words about my brother, and you protected him like this. Sister Qianyu, you like my brother, right?" Qin Huiyin looked at her mischievously.
Ouyang Qianyu lowered her eyes: "Your brother is very good. Zhuge Congfeng and I have followed him for so many years. He is better than a family member. However, he has suffered so much, and I don't want him to force himself anymore. The new emperor ascended the throne, and all those who should be canonized have been canonized. I, a female general, have become the most difficult one. Someone suggested that I had an engagement with him, so I only have two choices, either to enter the harem, or to leave the court and just be an ordinary woman. The new emperor ascended the throne, and the next step is to recruit concubines..."
When Ouyang Qianyu was talking, Qin Huiyin had been observing her expression. When she talked about recruiting concubines, Ouyang Qianyu's eyes were full of grievance and sadness.
Based on her experience of dating for so many years, Ouyang Qianyu was interested in Puyang Qiubai. However, Puyang Qiubai was a gourd with a sawed mouth. I am afraid he had never said anything to Ouyang Qianyu other than official business. Such a cold man made Ouyang Qianyu see no future, and she was even more unwilling to become one of his harem.
"Sister Qianyu, why don't we do this..." Qin Huiyin leaned over and said a few words in Ouyang Qianyu's ear.
Ouyang Qianyu listened to Qin Huiyin's words, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.
"Isn't this bad?"
"Do you want to be one of the concubines?" Qin Huiyin tilted her head and looked at her. "Let's gamble on our lives. If we win, we can have a perfect life. If we lose, we can start a new life. Don't let old ideas imprison your soul."
"You're right. I won't become one of the concubines in the harem." Ouyang Qianyu said, "So, my stay or departure doesn't just require me to make the choice, he also has to make the choice for my stay or departure. Yinyin, you are indeed my beacon, illuminating the haze in front of me and allowing me to see my heart clearly."
Ouyang Qianyu's puzzle was solved, the haze in front of her disappeared, and she felt much more enlightened.
A few days later, the new emperor ascended the throne and at the same time conferred titles on many meritorious officials and generals.
The country's current name is Taixi.
In the first year of Taixi, Emperor Taixi ascended the throne in the presence of hundreds of thousands of troops. When Emperor Taixi ascended the throne, the entire court was replaced. Only one-tenth of the officials of the original court remained, and only half of the officials who stayed were retained. The remaining half were demoted. In addition, Emperor Taixi used the people he brought with him and the loyal officials of the Wei family army.
Wei Zhaoyan, the former leader of the Wei Family Army, was canonized as King Xuan. In addition, Zhuge Congfeng and his brother were canonized as King Ming and King Yu. Song Ruize was canonized as Duke of Song, a hereditary title. Tang Yichen was canonized as Duke of Tang, a hereditary title. Other officials were appreciated differently according to their merits.
In any case, judging from the imperial edict issued by Puyang Qiubai, everyone got everything they deserved.
As the eldest daughter of the Puyang family, Qin Huiyin was originally named Puyang Huan and was named Princess Zhaohua. Her story was also spread among the people. Everyone knew how much Qin Huiyin had contributed in the feat of overthrowing the old system, and felt that even if she was not the eldest daughter of the Puyang family, such an identity and title were well deserved.
The people's eyes are sharp. They remember all the practical things Qin Huiyin and Song Ruize have done for them over the years. Now, the people's hearts are like the tide, pushing them to accomplish their goals and making everything come true.
On the day Emperor Taixi ascended the throne, Qin Huiyin resumed her status as the eldest princess and followed him to accept the kneeling homage of civil and military officials.
Everyone was amazed by the good looks of the brother and sister. If you say that they are not real siblings, I am afraid no one would believe it.
Song Ruize stood in the crowd, looking at the dazzling Qin Huiyin, his eyes full of pride.
Tang Yichen said disdainfully, "Can you be more restrained? Everyone in the world knows that she is your wife. But please stop drooling."
Song Ruize looked in the direction of Qin Huiyin and said proudly, "That's my wife. Even if I drool over her, it's not shameful."
The ministers nearby moved away from the two men, lest the childish war spread to them again.
These two people obviously don't get along, but they are promoted at similar frequencies, and they are also related by marriage. Is this the legendary "enemies meet on a narrow road"?
"If the two dukes keep arguing like this, it might damage the harmony." The newly appointed minister nearby tried to persuade them kindly.
"Master Li, you are still too naive." Jiang Qingnan, the commander-in-chief of the military division, said beside him, "No matter how much they quarrel, they are still family members. You don't need to care about them."
Puyang Qiubai pulled Qin Huiyin off the stage.
Qin Huiyin walked to Song Ruize's side and stood between Song Ruize and Tang Yichen.
"Brother, was my hair a little messy just now?" Qin Huiyin asked Tang Yichen.
Tang Yichen reached out and straightened her crown, saying, "My sister is so pretty, what's wrong with her?"
"That's good." Qin Huiyin exhaled lightly. "There were so many people looking at me just now that I almost fell down."
