"I am fine." Chang Ningxue said softly, "Your Highness, please come and see our child."

Li Che finally felt relieved and turned to look at the baby beside him.

Don't be impatient when you see this. After seeing the little face clearly, Li Che was shocked and blurted out:

"Hiss... Is this my son? Why doesn't he look like me at all and is so ugly?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the little prince, who had just calmed down, frowned and started crying again.

The cry was full of energy, not at all like that of a newborn baby, and was even louder than the cry of cranes outside.

If Adou had such strength back then, Zhang Fei would have had no chance of breaking the long plank bridge with his drink!

"Your Highness, don't talk nonsense!" Chang Ningxue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "Newborn babies are like this. They will be fine when they grow up."

"That's right, that's right!"

Li Che also knew that he had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized with a smile.

He was also confused and emotionally agitated, which was why he spoke without thinking.

Newborn babies are all wrinkled and look pretty. Even if they were a fairy in their previous life, they would probably be very ugly.

When the baby is one month old and has more flesh on its body and face, it will become much cuter.

At this moment, Li Che calmed down and finally aroused some family affection. He looked at his newborn son and liked him more and more.

Looking between the eyebrows and eyes, although they have not yet opened, I can already see some outlines similar to my own.

When he grows up, he might become a handsome man again!

Li Che was so happy that he couldn't help but reach out and take the child from Hua Changan's daughter, holding him carefully in his arms.

Strangely enough, the moment Li Che took over, the boy stopped crying immediately and stared at Li Che with his big eyes.

"Stinky boy!" Li Che scolded with a smile, "But there is a smart one who calls me daddy!"

The newborn baby couldn't understand anything and just looked at Li Che stupidly and cried a few times.

Seeing that Li Che had become childish again, everyone pursed their lips.

Chang Ningxue smiled helplessly and said, "Your Highness, have you thought of a name for your child?"

This question stumped Li Che.

The due date was still half a month away, and Li Che had not had time to think of a name. Now that Chang Ningxue suddenly mentioned it, his mind was blank.

As the prince of a feudal lord, his name must not be careless. It must have a certain meaning and reveal his nobility.

Li Che was a science student in his previous life, and a cavalry monarch in this life. How could he have gotten such a good name?

If he were to name her, he would probably call her Li Zihan...

Few of the civil officials in Feng State were qualified to name their prince's eldest son. Only Emperor Qing had this qualification.

"There's no rush to name him. I need to think about it slowly and give him a name that suits my son." Li Che smiled and shook the baby in his hands. "Give him a nickname first and call him by it."

After thinking for a long time, Li Che still couldn't come up with a nice nickname.

On the contrary, Chang Ningxue had just expended too much energy, and her face was becoming increasingly tired, and she felt a little drowsy.

Li Che asked her to have a good rest first, and handed the child to Qiuwen to settle down.

Then he waved his robe and walked out the door refreshed.

When everyone saw Li Che coming out, their eyes lit up and they hurriedly surrounded him.

"Your Highness, how is the Crown Prince?"

"With such a strange phenomenon accompanying him, the prince must be intelligent, lovely, and extraordinary!"

"Could it be that one is born with knowledge and can write poetry?"

"It's hard to tell!"

Seeing that the ministers were talking more and more outrageous, Li Che felt a little amused and helpless. If this continued, his son would become a monster.

He finally understood why the visions at the emperor's birth in the biographies of emperors were all more outrageous than each other. People really liked to spread these miraculous stories.

"Don't worry, everyone. The child is healthy and safe, and he cries loudly."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. A healthy baby boy, that was His Highness's eldest son.

Chang Ningxue is Li Che's first princess consort, and with the Chang family as her backing, there is a high chance that she will become his legal wife in the future, and he is likely to be a legitimate son.

The prince of Feng, the eldest son... this child will have an inestimable future!

"It's just that the child was born in such a hurry that I haven't had time to think of a name yet. I plan to ask Your Majesty to give him a formal name." Li Che said with a smile, "But we can't be without a nickname during this period. A nickname is needed."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Your Highness wants them to help come up with a nickname. What an opportunity this is.

Although it is just a nickname, it will accompany the child for many years until it becomes an adult.

Giving a nickname to the future prince of Fengguo?

This is a great grace and trust from heaven, and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

If anyone's name is fortunate enough to be adopted by His Highness, wouldn't that mean that he would have a close relationship with the young prince? Even if he couldn't become rich and powerful in the future, at least their relationship would be closer than that of others.

Everyone immediately racked their brains and quoted from classics to come up with a nice name.

As an old minister following Li Che, Wang Xi was the first to discover the auspicious sign, so he naturally took the lead.

He walked forward slowly, stroking his beard, his face flushed with ruddy light as he spoke: "Your Highness, when the young prince was born, cranes gathered, their cries resounding through the heavens!"

"This is a sign of divine favor and auspiciousness. I, an old minister, believe the words 'crane cry' are excellent, reflecting both the celestial phenomenon and the lofty aspirations of the people, whose voices resonate throughout the world!"

"Crane cry?"

Li Che frowned slightly.

The image of an old Taoist priest with white hair and beard holding a whisk instantly appeared in my mind.

He shook his head and rejected it directly: "Not right! This name sounds like that of an old immortal who has achieved great success in cultivation. My son should be more lively."

The smile on Wang Xi's face froze for a moment, and he took a step back awkwardly.

Zhuge Zhe pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and bowed, saying:

"Your Highness, the birth of the Crown Prince carries the blessings of Heaven and Earth. Why not name him 'Chengqian'? It implies the blessings of Heaven, a deep foundation, and long-lasting blessings."

This name is based on classics and has auspicious meanings. Zhuge Zhe feels that he is quite talented.

More importantly, the word "Cheng Qian" also means inheriting the great throne. Although it is difficult to say it explicitly, those who understand it will understand it.

Unexpectedly, Li Che was shocked when he heard this name.

Cheng Qian? Li Cheng Qian?!

What kind of unlucky name is this?

Why don’t you ask him to build it? Old Zhu, please don’t try to deceive my son!

Then he shook his head vigorously: "No, no, this name is nice, but the concept is too grand and it's not intimate enough. A nickname should be easy to pronounce and sound friendly."

He Conglong couldn't help scratching his head and came forward, saying:

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince's cries are as loud as thunder, full of energy, and fully demonstrate the martial spirit of our country!"

"Why not call it 'Thunder Shock'? It would both show off its power and fit the grandeur of the Crown Prince's first cry today!"

Even Huo Duanxiao, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but laugh: "General He, your name... really reflects your true nature!"

Li Che was even more amused and helpless: "You're so smart! This is not just a nickname. Isn't this a deity?!"

Everyone's suggestions were rejected one after another, and they were all scratching their heads for a moment.

Your Highness's request is that the words should be catchy and friendly, but not too literary, too martial, or too god-like... It is really difficult to do.

Li Che looked at everyone racking their brains and was also thinking quickly.

He looked at the palace door, listening to the faint humming of a baby from inside, and his thoughts began to wander.

As a time traveler, his expectations for this child are actually much simpler than things like "achievements that reach across the world" or "inheriting the throne."

After experiencing all kinds of things in his previous life and struggling in this world for two years, he knows how rare a blessing it is to have peace and prosperity.

The pinnacle of power is tempting, but it is lonely at the top. He knows the danger and loneliness better than anyone else.

His son, Li Che, might inherit the title of king in the future, might have a broader world, or even inherit that unattainable position.

But the premise of all this is that he can grow up healthy and safely.

Thinking of this, Li Che's eyes lit up, and two familiar words came to his mind.

"My Lords," Li Che looked around at everyone, his eyes gentle. "I don't have any earth-shattering expectations for this boy. Whether he inherits the title of king or becomes a carefree wealthy man..."

"This king only hopes that he will live a healthy and happy life, free from illness and disaster. This is a parent's most ordinary, yet deepest, wish."

These words were simple and unpretentious, but they instantly struck a chord with all the fathers present, causing a wave of resonance among them.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Li Che smiled brightly and said as if a flash of inspiration had occurred to him:

"In that case, why not call him——"

"Get rid of the disease!"

All the ministers were stunned:

"Get rid of the disease?"

This name... is too straightforward, too... down-to-earth, right?

Compared with the auspicious sign of hundreds of cranes coming to pay homage just now, it was like falling from the clouds to the mortal world.

Wang Xi on the side opened his mouth, wanting to ask if this name was too simple and unbecoming of the royal family's noble status?

The more Li Che read it, the smoother it became, and his eyes were filled with satisfaction:

"Yes! It's called 'Removing Diseases'. I wish him to be free from all diseases, to be strong and healthy, and to live a life free from the pain of a sickbed!"

"This name is simple and easy to remember, and its meaning goes straight to the heart. Peace and health are better than immense wealth and fame!"

He looked at the ministers who were still somewhat stunned, especially Wang Xi's expression of wanting to speak but not wanting to, and said with a smile:

"Why? Wang Qing thinks this name is too vulgar and can't compare to the elegance of your 'Crane'?"

Wang Xi quickly bowed, "I dare not. Your Highness loves your son deeply, and the word 'removing illness' expresses your wish for peace and health. This is truly a return to simplicity and true nature, a profound ingenuity that appears simple and ingenious."

Although Li Che could hear the flattery in his words, he did not point it out and smiled without saying anything.

Get rid of the disease, get rid of the disease.

However, no one present knew that these two words were not down-to-earth and rustic names.

Even if these two words themselves do not have any outstanding features, if they are placed in the future, anyone can see at a glance the deep expectations contained in them.

Xin Tanfu, a famous ruthless man in the Southern Song Dynasty and one of the two Ans of Jinan, was named "Qi Ji" by his father because he admired that man, right?
