They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

The emperor was overjoyed, finally settling down his worries.

The capital was safe and the situation at the temporary palace was also resolved smoothly. The emperor then summoned the accompanying officials and issued orders one after another.

Those who should be killed should be killed, those who should be punished should be punished, and those who should be rewarded should be rewarded.

After the imperial edicts were issued one after another, the emperor did not want to stay in the palace any longer, so he took the families of Prince Jing and Prince Ding with him and asked the imperial guards to escort them back to the capital in a simple carriage.

As for other people, the emperor couldn't care less.

It was already noon when they returned to the capital. The emperor summoned several important officials into the palace to continue handling the follow-up.

The news of the emperor's return to the palace spread quickly, and people's hearts gradually calmed down.

Many ordinary people were frightened by what happened last night and thought that things were going to change.

Fortunately, everything is fine.

Of course, not all families are safe.

Last night, the internal guards conducted a search, the rebels fled, and the Shen Ce Army entered the city. A lot of things happened in one night and many people died.

There were traitors, reinforcements, and of course, innocent people.

However, the unrest outside did not affect the backyard of Prince Jing's Mansion.

After several hours of agony, Jiang Wanyue finally gave birth to a child.

When the midwife shouted "It's a little boy", Jiang Wanyue felt weak and fainted.

When she woke up, it was already daybreak and the delivery room had been cleaned up. Shen was sitting at the head of the bed holding the child, and the maids were going in and out quietly.

It's peaceful and calm.

Jiang Wanyue blinked several times, but Xiuchun was the first to notice her.

"Miss is awake!"

Xiuchun came over in surprise.

Shen couldn't help but remind her, "I've told you so many times that you can't call me Miss."

"I forgot because I was in a hurry." Xiuchun looked apologetic and turned to Jiang Wanyue, "Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell? Are you hungry? Doctor Zeng said that you fainted because you were exhausted and gave birth. He said that you will be fine when you wake up."

Jiang Wanyue nodded slightly.

"What time is it? What's going on outside?"

Xiuchun helped her sit up. "The housekeeper just came. Everything is fine outside. The rebels have been caught. The emperor and the prince are on their way back. I don't think anything happened in the palace. Auntie, would you like something to eat?"

Jiang Wanyue just felt her stomach was very empty at this moment.

I just don’t know if it’s because I’m simply hungry or because I’m not used to the feeling after having a baby.

"Just send me anything."

She said this casually, and only then did she have time to look at the swaddling clothes in Shen's arms.

"Mom, have you checked the child? Is there anything missing?"

Shen was amused by her words.

"How could something be missing? What are you imagining? Come, look at your son. His two arms, two legs, ten fingers and ten toes are all fine!"

As Shen spoke, she gently opened the swaddling clothes, revealing the sleeping baby.

Jiang Wanyue touched the child's face, saw that his little hands were clenched into fists, and subconsciously tried to break them open.

The little guy is quite strong.

Jiang Wanyue finally pried them open and saw clearly that there were ten fingers, not one more or one less, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the little guy suddenly burst into tears.

Shen scolded, "He was sleeping soundly, but you insisted on messing with him. Call the nurse over quickly."

The latter sentence was said to the maid beside her.

Xuzhi hurried to call the wet nurse.

Shen took the opportunity to whisper to Jiang Wanyue, "These two wet nurses are our own. Isn't this a mess outside? It's a good opportunity to take the titles of both wet nurses so that no one else can take advantage of them."

As per custom, the young master of the palace had two wet nurses.

This is the same whether you are a gentleman or a lady.

Jiang Wanyue laughed.

"You all listen to me."

She touched the child's leg again.

Then his son kicked him in the palm of his hand.

Jiang Wanyue’s eyes widened.

"How can a newborn baby be so strong?"

Shen laughed.

"That's right, all children are like this, they are quite strong when they are born. But your son is stronger than other children. I think it may be because the prince has been practicing martial arts for many years."

The mother and daughter were chatting casually, and soon the nanny came over.

The two wet nurses looked honest and decent. They were dressed neatly, with their hair combed meticulously. They didn't wear any jewelry. They were plump and had fair skin. They were neither too old nor too young, around 30 years old.

Jiang Wanyue asked a few questions, and seeing that they both answered politely, she nodded and let them go to the outer room with the children.

"Don't worry, these two wet nurses were found by your aunt. They are good-tempered, obedient, and they have given birth to two or three children. They are very experienced in raising children. Their families are all under the care of your uncle. Your aunt also brought the two children into the mansion to be your nephew's servants."

Shen explained it very carefully.

"But you can't be completely assured. You have to give her some warning from time to time. The child will be closer to the wet nurse when he drinks her milk. Don't let the child become estranged from you. Once the child is weaned, find a reason to send the wet nurse back."

When Jiang Wanyue heard this, she paused and couldn't help but look at her mother again.

She thought of her own wet nurse, as well as the wet nurses of her older brothers and sisters, all of whom had been sent out of the house early on.

So mother did this because she didn't want the children to be too close to the wet nurse?

Jiang Wanyue thought about it, but finally didn't ask.

She changed the subject.

"The birth took so long last night that I even forgot the time when the baby was born."

When talking about this, Shen smiled so much that her eyes narrowed.

"This child is blessed. He was born at 7:15 pm, the same birthday as his royal grandfather!"

Jiang Wanyue frowned.

Shen stopped laughing and looked at her in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"Mother, do you think it's a good idea to be born on the same day as the Emperor?"

Jiang Wanyue asked back.

"Isn't this good?" Shen didn't understand.

Jiang Wanyue sighed.

"If it were a normal time, this would be a great thing, and maybe even win the emperor's favor. But so many things happened in the past two days, with the strange stone and the rebels. The Emperor's birthday festival has been turned into this."

Shen's expression changed slightly.

"You are right."

Jiang Wanyue continued, "Your Highness has many enemies, not just the Prince of Qi. Don't the other princes want to compete for that position? And the matter of the traitors this time must be very involved. If you don't keep a low profile at this time, you will easily become a target for others."

At this point, she pursed her lips.

"Please tell the people in the yard, especially the midwives, to say that the child was born at the end of the hour of Hai."

Shen was hesitant: "Is this necessary?"

"Just believe me, Mom!"

Jiang Wanyue spoke in a firm tone.

Shen thought about it, sighed, and stood up.

"Well, mother will go and tell them. But this matter can be hidden from outsiders, but not from the prince. Men's minds are sometimes big and sometimes small. He can tolerate that you were engaged before, but he may not tolerate you cheating on him."
