On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

In fact, the large cafeteria that Lin Zhen enjoyed was just an ordinary company employee cafeteria.

After much deliberation, he decided to maintain the existing ancient system.

The Yonglefang engineering team recruited quickly. The Ministry of Works did not delay this time. It not only recruited people from the capital, but also expanded the recruitment scope to several surrounding counties.

Not only that, the work of widening the river and repairing the canal is also in full swing.

This time the authorities made it very clear: as long as you come to work, you will be provided with food and accommodation, and receive monthly wages.

As time went by, people's lives became better and better, but not so good that they could not even go to work.

Upon hearing this treatment, able-bodied men from various cities flocked to the capital, making the capital city overcrowded in early spring.

Lin Zhenxian simply gave Lin Zhen a few words before setting off to attack Northern Yan.

Lu Dehao's father had been dismissed from his official position and stripped of his title because of a mistake he made. He spent all day at home complaining about the injustice of the court.

But when the news came that Lu Dehao was helping to transport the ship, he silently shut his mouth again.

His own life has already been like this, and he cannot affect his son's future.

At the end of April, the last batch of peach blossoms had withered, and there was still no battle report from the front, but the people were not worried about the war.

With two great victories before them, they were very confident in the court.

That day, when Lin Zhen returned home after attending court, he saw several secret letters on the desk in his study.

This is the battle report.

In fact, others did not know the situation ahead, but Lin Zhen always knew it. Lin Zhenxian's secret troops had already followed the river into the Qin territory and secretly stationed in the important city of Beiyan, on the edge of Datong County.

As long as the time is right, he will go all the way north and completely annex Northern Yan.

War, sometimes, is just so plain and simple.

......

In April, the peach trees in the courtyard of the Prince Regent's Palace were in full bloom. Layers of pink and white petals fluttered in the breeze, some falling on the bluestone road, and some drifting into the pond, causing ripples.

The fragrance of flowers is refreshing and intertwined with the incense hanging in the corridor, creating a peaceful and warm atmosphere.

Lin Zhen, dressed in a moon-white robe, was sitting in the study, concentrating on reading the battle report sent from the front.

The candlelight on the bronze candlestick on the desk flickered, stretching his shadow long on the wall.

As his eyes moved across the paper, he sometimes frowned, sometimes nodded slightly, and the expression on his face kept changing.

Just as he was concentrating, a burst of hurried footsteps came from afar, breaking the silence of the study.

Shangguan Wan'er's personal maid ran in breathlessly, her hair a little messy, her face full of anxiety: "Prince! Prince! Madam Qingwen is about to give birth!"

These days were the due date calculated by Doctor Sun for Qingwen. Although Lin Zhen was prepared, he was still shocked by the sudden news. He stood up abruptly, and without bothering to organize the documents on the desk, he ran towards the delivery room in big strides.

In the yard, the sunlight shines through the branches of the peach tree, casting mottled shadows.

Several of Dr. Sun's disciples stood outside the delivery room with serious expressions. They were dressed in uniform blue-gray robes, holding various medical herbs and instruments in their hands, ready to follow their master's orders at any time.

The mistress of the house, Shangguan Wan'er, was sitting in a pavilion not far away, her white long dress making her look cool and charming.

She folded her hands on her legs, her eyes slightly closed, concentrating and trying to keep herself calm, but her slightly trembling fingertips still revealed her inner tension.

This is the first child in the palace. Regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, her status is extremely important and no accidents can happen.

Lin Zhen ran over anxiously, his voice filled with obvious anxiety: "Doctor Sun, how is my wife?"

Doctor Sun, dressed in a gray-white robe, had white hair and a youthful face. He was twirling his beard and looking at Lin Zhen with a smile on his face. "Don't worry, my lord. Madam is in good health and will be fine. I have even specially invited eight of the most experienced midwives in the capital to take care of her. They will definitely keep Madam and child safe."

Doctor Sun's voice was steady and powerful, like a reassurance.

Lin Zhen nodded. With Dr. Sun in charge, he felt much more at ease.

He turned and walked towards the pavilion, his steps slower than before.

Shangguan Wan'er heard footsteps and slowly opened her eyes. She then stood up and bowed to Lin Zhenying, saying softly, "Husband."

Lin Zhen quickly stepped forward, held her by the arm, and gently pushed her back into her seat. He asked with concern, "Hurry up and sit down. Where's Huanbi? Why can't I see her?"

Shangguan Wan'er smoothed the hair by her ears and replied softly, "She's helping out inside. Huanbi is very careful and attentive. With her around, I can rest assured."

Lin Zhen reached out to support her, his fingertips touching her slightly cold wrist, and he couldn't help but frown, "Wan'er, why are your hands so cold again? Did you catch a cold?"

That shouldn't be the case. Logically speaking, Lin Zhen has been delivering food almost every day during this period, so Wan'er's health should be getting better and better.

As he said this, he was about to take off his outer robe and put it on her.

Shangguan Wan'er quickly held his hand and said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, my husband. I just stood in the courtyard for a long time."

She moved the cushion embroidered with lotus flowers to the side and placed it under Lin Zhen's hips. "As for Sister Qingwen, when I went to see her last night, she was in so much pain that she couldn't sleep all night. Her stomach felt like it was about to explode."

Lin Zhen's expression tightened when he heard this, and his eyes unconsciously glanced towards the delivery room.

Shangguan Wan'er saw this and gently took his hand, rubbing the raised veins on the back of his hand with her thumb. "Don't worry, my dear husband. You've taken care of me for so long, and I'm in great shape. With Doctor Sun and eight midwives, I'll be fine. I just don't know if I'll give birth to a boy or a girl this time."

Outside the pavilion, peach petals swirled and fell into the teacup on the stone table.

Lin Zhen picked up the teacup and looked at the floating petals. He thought of Qingwen's smiling face before she became pregnant and said with a smile, "Haha, it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl. I plan to let her have this one anyway. She loves beauty so much that she hates her fat self to death."

"Haha, I know my husband loves me, but I need to have more children. We have too few descendants and so much property. When Qin is annexed by Daqian, this place will be even bigger. Of course, I need to have more children to inherit it."

Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head and chuckled softly, then pulled out from her sleeve a swaddling cloth embroidered with a picture of hundreds of children and grandchildren. "I made this overnight. The stitching isn't very fine, but it's good luck."

She unfolded the swaddling clothes, and on the silk as soft as moonlight, the children embroidered with gold thread were riding bamboo horses or flying kites, and they looked lifelike.

"I just don't know whether it's a boy or a girl. If it's a girl, the set of Dongzhu headdress in my room would be a perfect match."

Lin Zhen reached out and gently stroked the embroidery. He thought of Shangguan Wan'er who had been busy preparing for the birth these days and had not even taken care of the traditional morning and evening visits. He was deeply moved.

"You've worked so hard these days. You've taken care of everything inside and outside of the house. When Qingwen is out of confinement, I'll definitely make it up to you."

Shangguan Wan'er's earlobes instantly turned crimson. She lowered her head and twisted her handkerchief, her voice as small as a mosquito: "My husband, what are you talking about? Managing the palace is my responsibility. Besides..."

She secretly glanced up at Lin Zhen, then quickly lowered her head. "I am happy to see our home becoming more and more lively, even if it means more hardship."

Just as he finished speaking, a shrill cry suddenly came from the delivery room.

The voice was heart-wrenching, full of helplessness and struggle.

"what!!!"

Lin Zhen stood up suddenly, and the tea in the teacup spilled onto the stone table, leaving a dark mark.

Shangguan Wan'er also hurriedly stood up and grabbed his sleeve tightly: "Don't worry, my husband, the baby is about to be born. It's a good sign."

Although she said this, her voice couldn't stop trembling, and her fingertips dug deeply into Lin Zhen's flesh.

The two of them stared at the direction of the delivery room, no one spoke, only peach blossoms fell on their shoulders and then slid away quietly.

"Push harder, Madam!"

"Ma'am, don't be discouraged, try your best!"

"Hurry up and bring some hot water!"

Lin Zhen's heart was instantly tightened. He was originally quite calm, but now he could no longer sit still.

He stood up suddenly and paced back and forth outside the delivery room, his steps hurried and messy.

Every few steps, he would look towards the delivery room, his eyes full of worry and concern.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Every second seemed extremely long to Lin Zhen.

Just when he was extremely anxious, a hurried sound of footsteps was heard.

Zhang Li ran in breathlessly, holding up the hem of her purple skirt. The pearls and jade in her hair jingled with her movements.

Her face was filled with obvious anxiety and concern. As soon as she saw Lin Zhen, she hurriedly asked, "Husband, have you sent someone to notify the palace?"

Lin Zhen nodded, his voice a little hoarse: "I have already told Yan'er and Chun'er."

Zhang Li asked again: "What's the situation inside?"

Lin Zhen sighed, frowning tightly: "Qingwen has been calling for an hour, but there is still no response... Alas..."

At this time, Yue Wu also ran in, followed by the old sect leader.

"My dear husband, I have brought the old sect leader with me."

Lin Zhen looked at the old sect leader gratefully and nodded to her.

The old patriarch said, "Don't worry, my lord. With me here, nothing will happen to Qingwen."

When Dr. Sun's disciples heard this, they all curled their lips secretly.

I thought to myself, you’re not a doctor, why are you pretending?

"what!!!"

Qingwen's voice became louder and louder, and Lin Zhen became more and more anxious.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Yue Wu suddenly tilted her head.

Lin Zhen was quick to support her.

"Wu'er, Wu'er!"

"Immortal Sun, come and take a look!"

Sun Zhitui hurried over and pinched Yue Wu's wrist with one hand. A minute later, he smiled and said, "Haha, congratulations, Prince. Madam Yue Wu is also pregnant."

"Really!?" Zhang Li was usually best friends with Yue Wu, and she was very happy to hear that she was pregnant.

Lin Zhen asked in return, "Why did Wu'er faint?"

"Madam Yue Wu is weak and has been working hard for years. And judging by her pulse, she should be three months pregnant."

"Three months..." Lin Zhen looked at Yue Wu in his arms and said distressedly, "Silly girl, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Lin Zhen picked up Yue Wu and went to her villa, asking the maids and servants to take good care of her.

At the same time, Sun Zhitui prescribed some medicine to Yue Wu to calm her mind and protect the fetus, and sent someone to prepare it.

When Lin Zhen returned to the delivery room, Qingwen was still shouting.

Sun Zhitui pinched his fingers and muttered, "Strange, it's already past the production time."

The old leader said, "I'll go in and take a look."

Sun Zhitui stopped her and said, "Old Sect Master, please wait. The situation is unclear right now. If you rush in, you will only destroy the atmosphere in the delivery room. It's better to wait a little longer."

Lin Zhen was so anxious that he frowned and his face looked terribly gloomy.

At this moment, a midwife ran out with blood on her hands: "Oh no! Oh no! Madam, you are having a difficult labor!!"

"What!?" Lin Zhen rushed forward, grabbed the midwife by the collar, and roared angrily: "I'm telling you, if anything happens to Qingwen and my child, I'll fucking bury all of you with me!!"

He had almost lost his mind.

But who would have thought that a clear baby cry would break through the tense air and echo throughout the yard.

“Wow wow wow wow!!”

This sudden sound startled everyone present.

Lin Zhen was stunned at first, then a glint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He let go of the midwife, clasped his hands together, looked up at the sky, and said with an emotion and gratitude that was difficult to conceal: "Thank God for blessing me! Thank God for blessing me!"

As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red.

Shangguan Wan'er and Zhang Li also showed relieved smiles. Shangguan Wan'er gently stroked her chest with both hands and whispered, "I can finally feel relieved now."

Zhang Li quickly walked over to Lin Zhen and gently took his arm: "Congratulations, husband!"

At this time, another midwife came out with a swaddling cloth in her arms, her face filled with joy. "Congratulations, Prince! Congratulations, ladies! It's a little boy, mother and child are safe!"

Lin Zhen couldn't wait to walk forward, his eyes full of love and joy.

He carefully took the child and looked at the wrinkled yet incredibly cute little face in his arms, an unprecedented tenderness welling up in his heart.

The child's little hands were clenched tightly, and his little mouth moved from time to time, making slight sounds.

"Let me see it!" Shangguan Wan'er and Zhang Li also gathered around, their faces full of curiosity and admiration.

Shangguan Wan'er reached out and gently touched the child's face, saying with emotion, "What a lovely little fellow! His eyes and brows look a lot like Qingwen."

Zhang Li also smiled and said, "Our palace will be even more lively in the future."

Lin Zhen looked at the child in her arms, then looked in the direction of the delivery room, her heart filled with heartache and gratitude towards Qingwen.

He turned to the midwife and said, "Take me to see Qingwen quickly."

"Hey!" The midwife responded and led the way.

When I walked into the delivery room, the room was filled with a faint smell of blood, but it had been largely covered up by the incense.

Qingwen was lying on the bed, her face as pale as paper, but with a happy smile on her face.

Her hair was a little messy and scattered on the pillow, and her eyes were tired but full of maternal love.

"Wen'er, thank you for your hard work." Lin Zhen walked to the bed, sat beside her, reached out and gently held her hand, his voice gentle and full of love.

Qingwen shook her head slightly and said weakly, "Where's the child? I want to see him."

Her eyes fell on the child in Lin Zhen's arms.

Her face, which was originally full of tenderness, suddenly wrinkled up and she said with disgust: "He is so ugly!!"
