Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Wei Shimu finally managed to persuade himself, but soon.

News came that Lu Liluo was named "King of Yi Zi Bing Xiang". At the same time, the Second Princess's Mansion received an imperial edict - the Second Princess was given the title of "Prince Jian" because of her rude remarks on the day of the late emperor's death.

No changes were made to the palace, and the family still lived in the original princess's residence.

When Wei Shimu heard the news, he fainted.

I do not know how long it has been.

Wei Shimu felt someone pinching his philtrum with sharp nails, causing a sharp pain. As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, followed by the pain of a part of his body being torn apart.

"Push harder, push harder~ I can see the end, the baby is about to come out~"

"Servant, bite this!"

Without any explanation, a man stuffed a piece of moist, medicinal-smelling cork into his mouth.

Wei Shimu: “…”

So the baby is about to come out - well, the road ahead is uncertain, maybe the arrival of his daughter will become a new motivation for him to move forward.

"The Prince... Is the Prince outside?" Wei Shimu asked with difficulty.

Normally, when a baby is born in the mansion, Prince Jian will stay outside for a while to watch over it.

"The prince is in a bad mood and has not come. But don't worry, my lord. Our wife and the other concubines and servants are all waiting outside." Lord Chan consoled him.

"Just rest assured and give birth..."

Wei Shimu then remembered that he had just received bad news from the mansion before he fainted, and his heart sank immediately - this child was born at the wrong time!

But as waves of pain came over him, Wei Shimu could no longer care about anything else and could only instinctively follow the instructions of his husband.

After a full hour of labor pains, the baby's cry finally came from beneath him:

"Wow~wow~"

"Congratulations to Shijun and Zhengjun on the birth of their son. Shijun Wei has given birth to a little boy!"

"What ?"

Wei Shimu, who was about to faint, opened his eyes in surprise, and heard the faint voice of Mrs. Jian Wangfu:

"This prince has learned of this... Wei Shijun has contributed greatly to the birth of a child. Therefore, the reward shall be given according to the rules!"

As he spoke, there was the sound of footsteps gradually fading away, and the fragrance in the room dissipated - Mrs. Jian Wang walked away leisurely with a group of men.

"No,"

Wei Shimu thought he must have been hallucinating. Wasn't he supposed to have a daughter? How did it turn out to be a son? The imperial physician had clearly told him he was having a daughter.

"Is it a mistake?"

He forced himself to hold on to his weak body after giving birth and said to the mother, "How could it be a son? Bring the child over to me and let me see it!"

The lady in charge smiled and stuffed the baby's bundle into Wei Shimu's arms:

"It is indeed a little boy. My Lord, please take a look. The umbilical cord is still wet, so there is no doubt about it."

Seeing Wei Shimu's skeptical look, Chan Gong kindly explained:

"Don't worry, my lord. We've delivered many babies. This situation is quite common in Dongchi Country. It's not uncommon for the imperial physician to make a mistake..."

Wei Shimu didn't believe it.

He opened the blanket and looked at the extra thing between the legs of the swaddled baby. He closed his eyes in despair.

"Hold it!"

It's just my son, no need to watch...

. . .

Fortunately, Prince Jian did not blame the newborn for the "loss of his prince".

Although she did not dote on this newborn son, she did not dislike him either. She even gave him the same name as her other sons after he was one month old.

Wei Shimu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But this doesn't mean that he will feel better.

The princess who tried so hard to remarry was only granted the title of a prince, while her ex-fiancée who she had once abandoned suddenly became the "King on par with her husband", a super-class person in the dynasty.

The gap is quite big.

Just think about it, if he hadn't insisted on breaking off the engagement, he would now be a true prince's husband. He would be only one step away from his dream of "being the father of the country".

Now, he was just an unfavored attendant in the Prince's Mansion. Even if he had a son, Prince Jian had no intention of promoting him to a concubine.

no way.

The useless sister whom he always looked down upon became the emperor, and he himself, despite his noble birth, had to bow down to her. No one would feel comfortable about this, so Prince Jian naturally had no intention of rewarding him with a backyard.

At this time, she was concentrating on contacting her former court officials, hoping to see if there was a chance to turn things around. Meanwhile, the noble lady was secretly helping her with various small moves in the palace.

Unfortunately, Lu Liluo had already prepared for this move.

Before the noble lady could come up with any idea, he was called to the palace by the two lady ladies and told to move to Prince Jian's mansion to live with Prince Jian and his family in his old age.

It’s okay if you don’t want to go.

Didn't the late emperor dote on him? Then he should go to the royal temple, shave his head, and practice Buddhism, praying for the late emperor's blessing.

As a last resort, Lady Gaogui packed up her things and chose to live out her retirement in Prince Jian's mansion.

The progress on Prince Jian's side was also extremely unsuccessful.

Those who used to follow him around, calling him "Your Highness" all of a sudden seemed to have amnesia. They either claimed to be sick or were busy with other things.

Even when they met, they only talked about love and romance, not poetry. Even her mothers-in-law began to speak vaguely, including Lord Wei who had once kowtowed in front of her.

There is indeed something going on in the Wei Mansion.

Concubine Liu gave birth to another daughter a month ago. Because she had already given birth to three daughters, she was promoted to the main wife this time because of her contribution to childbirth.

However, the original legitimate prince Xiao Pingyi was found to have used despicable means to cause the maid Jiang Shang and another concubine in the mansion to lose their daughter prematurely, and he was demoted to a minor servant.

Now the palace is preparing a grand banquet to celebrate for Xin Zhengjun and the newborn.

Lu Liluo also received the invitation from the Wei Mansion and immediately smiled.

Tang Jiting, with her hair loose, was helping her pick the beads from the crown by the light of a lamp. The single-line crown custom-made for Lu Liluo by the Shangyi Bureau was modeled after the previous one.

Tang Jiting felt that it was ugly and not worthy of his own prince, so he decided to modify it himself. Hearing the laughter, he paused:

"Why is the prince laughing?"

He had seen this post before, and his name was on it. However, this was the home of Lu Liluo's ex-fiancé's mother-in-law, so he was unsure whether to go.

"Nothing, tomorrow the King will take you to watch the fun!"

Lu Li Luo smiled and extinguished the lamp: "Don't sew, it's such a beautiful day, it hurts your eyes..."

The next day, there was a lot of traffic in front of Wei's mansion.

Lu Liluo, dressed in the ceremonial attire of a super-class prince, and brought Tang Jiting with him, and they arrived at the Wei Mansion on time.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Chen and his wife Prince Chen!"

All the guests knelt down and saluted.

"Be flat!"

Lu Liluo accepted the good advice. Having traveled through so many small worlds, she was now accustomed to the ancient etiquette. She glanced at the crowd and spotted Wei Shimu standing behind a tree in the distance.

He couldn't help but curl his lips and smile.

The male protagonist is here indeed. Not bad, not bad. It’s worth her coming here to show off. She turned around and carefully took Tang Jiting’s hand, smiling nonchalantly:

"Come, my husband!"

"Master Wife~~"

Tang Jiting's face turned red with shame.

This was not the first time that Lu Liluo showed respect and intimacy to him in public, but besides the sweetness and joy, he still felt a little shy.

He patted Lu Liluo's hand gently, and finally placed his own hand on her jade-white palm. Wei Shimu, who was not far away, saw this scene of harmonious and loving couple, and his nails dug deep into her flesh.

A trace of blood seeped out.
