Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

In the inner room, with the help of Baicong and Fuling, Concubine Xian woke up slowly after a near-death experience.

The moment she saw Meng Yunshang, her eyes turned red and she choked for a long time before she could utter a complete sentence.

"Yun Shang, am I really useless?"

Meng Yunshang waved to Baisong and Fuling, signaling them to go and report back to Emperor Yuanqing.

Yunniang and Danqiu were also very attentive and stayed away from the bed.

Meng Yunshang reached out and held Concubine Xian's hand, "You have suffered this time. The emperor is not a heartless person. He will only pity you more for your difficulties."

"But I know best how much the emperor wants a prince."

How she wished she could give birth to a prince for the emperor and fulfill his long-cherished wish.

But now...

Meng Yunshang asked calmly, "So what? Your Majesty, have you forgotten your original intention when you first learned that you were pregnant?"

Xian Fei was slightly stunned, "Original intention?"

"The queen originally just wanted to have a child, no matter if it was a boy or a girl, and she just wanted to be healthy and safe."

"Although she is not a prince now, she is still your precious child that you have gone through so many hardships to give birth to. Are you sure you want to give up the joy of being a mother and focus on her gender?"

"I understand. Thank you, Yunshang."

The virtuous concubine woke up as if from a dream.

She urged the palace maid to bring the child to her.

Upon hearing the news, Emperor Yuan Qing came in personally carrying the child. Concubine Xian was so frightened that she wanted to get out of bed to salute, but was supported by Emperor Yuan Qing.

"You are weak, lie back on the bed."

"Your Majesty..." The virtuous concubine had a thousand words to say, and she couldn't stop the tears in her eyes.

Emperor Yuan Qing handed the child to her arms and whispered to comfort her, "You are right, my sister-in-law. No matter it is a boy or a girl, it is our child. Although I regret that she is not a prince, I do not regret her coming."

The huge stone in Concubine Xian’s heart slowly settled down, and she hugged the child with her heart full of gratitude.

At the morning court of the new day, Emperor Yuan Qing announced that Qin Yimo and his son were sentenced to immediate execution.

Qin Ruoxue and Lu Lingzhu were demoted to commoners and driven out of the capital, never to be allowed to return to the capital again.

The rest of the Qin family were all exiled to Ningguta.

All those related to the Qin family were demoted or imprisoned, without exception.

Including Cui Jian's family.

In addition, Emperor Yuanqing praised Meng Yunshang and Huaian, mother and son, for their courage and wisdom, and for their contributions in saving the emperor.

The imperial edict of reward was sent to Prince Heng’s palace.

Huai'an gestured to Xiao Jingzi like a little adult, "I'll take the imperial edict. My mother is tired these days and is sleeping right now."

Before Xiao Jingzi set out, the emperor instructed her not to disturb Princess Heng.

Of course I had no objection to hearing Huai'an's words at this moment.

Huai'an accepted the order and expressed his gratitude very skillfully, and finally did not forget to instruct the butler to carry all the rewards into Hefengyuan.

"Hey, Your Highness Prince Rui."

Seeing Huai'an turned around and left without any reluctance, Xiao Jingzi hurriedly called him back, "The emperor asked me to ask His Royal Highness Prince Rui if he wants to go to the Shangshufang for classes?"

Huai'an shook his head decisively, "No, my current Yingxu Academy is quite good. Please tell Uncle Huang for me that I prefer to take classes closer to my mother."

Xiao Jingzi relayed the original words to Emperor Yuan Qing.

Emperor Yuan Qing shook his head helplessly, "This little guy is good in every way, but he is too clingy to his mother."

"Well, let's discuss this matter after Xiao comes back. He will be back soon anyway."

In September, Lu Chenxiao led his men directly to the Northern Barbarians' royal court and shot Lu Yuanji and Concubine Chen to death on the spot, scaring the Northern Barbarians into signing a 100-year tribute agreement on the spot.

In October, the army returned to the capital.

On the first day of November, Meng Yunshang felt a little unwell after breakfast.

The pain came in waves, so she couldn't take it lightly.

Danqiu found Fuling and was told that the princess was about to give birth.

The midwife who had been on standby early was soon invited to Hefengyuan, and then the entire palace became busy in an orderly manner.

But Meng Yunshang was not in a hurry to give birth to this baby.

We started in the morning, but the baby was still not born until the evening.

This made everyone in the city very anxious.

Even Emperor Yuanqing and Concubine Xian in the palace rushed out to inquire about the situation.

Even though Meng Yunshang usually had a good physique, she still couldn't hold on after tossing and turning for nearly ten hours.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a dusty figure rushed to Hefengyuan.

"Shang'er, your husband is back."

After a shocking shout, the figure rushed into the delivery room.

No one could stop him.

Meng Yunshang, who was exhausted, suddenly had her hand held by someone.

She slowly opened her eyes and met the face of a bearded savage.

"Wife, I'm back. Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'll accompany you to give birth."

Lu Chenxiao had never seen her so weak before, and he was so anxious that he was running around in circles, but he didn't know what to do.

I could only hold her hand tightly, saying sorry over and over again, feeling guilty.

Meng Yunshang reached out and gently pulled at the beard that covered his entire face, and teased him jokingly, "Lu Chenxiao, you've become ugly. Your daughter must be disgusted by you and won't come out."

Lu Chenxiao put her hand on his face and said, "Then I'll talk to her and ask her to come out quickly."

After saying that, he really put his face against Meng Yunshang's belly and said sincerely, "Girl, come out quickly and stop torturing your mother. Your father can't bear to see your mother suffer. If you really dislike your father, just come out and make trouble for him."

Meng Yunshang wanted to laugh at his childishness.

As a result, my stomach dropped suddenly.

The midwife, who was keeping an eye on the situation, shouted with joy, "It's out, I see the end."

Next, everything went incredibly smoothly.

The midwife held the wrapped baby and handed it to Lu Chenxiao, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's a young lady."

Lu Chenxiao was overjoyed, "Really?"

The midwife nodded, "It is absolutely true, it is a young lady."

"The princess was in pain all day, and she didn't want to show up. But as soon as the prince came back, she came out to see the world. She will definitely be the prince's sweet and caring little cotton-padded jacket in the future."

Lu Chenxiao liked to hear this, and waved his hand, "Reward, everyone will be rewarded heavily today."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone in the delivery room thanked him in unison.

Meng Yunshang gestured to Lu Chenxiao, "Bring the child here for me to see."

Only then did Lu Chenxiao remember to hold the child.

But when he looked down at the armor on his body that he had not yet had time to change, he hesitated again.

In the end, it was the midwife who helped and brought the child to Meng Yunshang.

As the couple stared at the baby in the cradle, Huai'an asked anxiously outside, "Father, is this a sister?"

Yunniang opened the door and Huai'an rushed in immediately.

"Where is my sister? Let me see her."

Finally seeing his fair and clean sister, Huai'an took out the gift he had prepared long ago.

"Look, sister. This is the nine-linked ring I made for you. This is the bow and arrow I made for you. This is the jade hairpin I carved for you. This is the goat-hair brush I made for you."

Lu Chenxiao: "..."

Do you want to see how old your sister is?

Finally, Lu Chenxiao couldn't stand it anymore and dragged him and his toys out.

Emperor Yuan Qing outside the door was afraid that he would drop the child, so he quickly took Huai'an.

She glared at Lu Chenxiao in condemnation, "Huai'an is a big boy now, don't always grab him by the collar, he has to save face too."

Lu Chenxiao snorted, "No matter how old I am, I am still his father!"

"Father is rude, be careful that your sister won't like you in the future."

Lu Chenxiao: “???”

Your hands are so itchy, so it’s okay to hit the child, right?
