Subject: Rabbits of the Rabbit Zone, I'm about to be born on Earth!

The doctor told me that I will be a very cute boy in the future, so I would like to ask what preparations I need to make to be a cute boy on Earth?

Hey OP, I heard there's a saying on Earth... "A man bleeds, but doesn't cry," meaning a boy should never cry; he'd rather be injured and bleed than cry.

Unable to open his eyes, speak, or hear any sound, the star observer named "Su Universe" felt as if he were taking a step in space, completely lacking any sense of security or stability, even though he knew he had successfully escaped the mother body.

Fortunately, Su Yuzhou remembered the post he made on the forum when he was born, and he remembered what the forum members had taught him: "A man bleeds but does not cry." Therefore, no matter how cruelly the midwives harassed him, he kept his mouth tightly shut like a clam, never uttering a sound or crying.

"Granny Cui, the eldest son isn't crying. What should we do?" A younger midwife looked at an older midwife and said anxiously.

"This... I think..." Before the older midwife could come up with a solution, someone outside came to report, "The King has arrived."

The older midwife glanced at the unconscious Lady Mi, then at the fair-skinned, healthy, and adorable baby in her arms, and quickly said, "How could the young master not cry? It's just that the young master is so well-behaved and cute that he's afraid of waking his mother, so he only cries once and then stops."

That's right. The baby in her arms has all four limbs and facial features. From the outside, she looks like a healthy baby. If she really has brain damage and is mentally disabled, it will only be noticeable when the child is older.

So forget about it, let's just get through this first.

After warning everyone, Granny Cui carried the swaddled Su Yuzhou out of the delivery room to see Ying Zheng.

"The child has been born! Come here! Let me hold him!" Ying Zheng stretched out his hand with a smile, wanting to hug Su Yuzhou.

Granny Cui handed Su Yuzhou to Ying Zheng, watching him hold the baby like a tray, and carefully adjusted his grip, whispering, "Your Majesty, the child should be held like this... a baby's bones are soft, so he can only be held horizontally, not vertically..."

Under the guidance of Granny Cui, Ying Zheng stiffly and awkwardly held the baby in his arms.

This is his first child! The person he is closest to by blood!

Ying Zheng stared blankly at the delicate little bundle of flesh in his arms, which seemed to break at the slightest touch. His usually indifferent face was filled with a silly smile, and a mysterious feeling welled up in his heart.

It's happiness! It's excitement! It's the glory of becoming a father for the first time! It's also a responsibility!

This is roughly what it feels like to become a father for the first time.

Ying Zheng was truly overjoyed, not only because he had a successor, but also because the timing of the child's birth was exceptionally auspicious. A few days earlier, although he had executed his rebellious brother, Cheng Jiao, he had not escaped the vicious cycle of rumors surrounding his lineage, and was constantly criticized by the Ying clan and court officials. But now he had a child.

The news of the eldest son's birth would not only dispel rumors but also deter villains and appease his subordinates, ensuring that even if he were to suddenly die, the throne of Qin would not fall to his brothers.

Having understood this, Ying Zheng smiled even more genuinely, finding the baby in his arms increasingly pleasing to the eye. "This child is indeed handsome, like a hibiscus flower. So... let's name him Fusu... I hope that when he grows up, he will be as strong as the hibiscus tree and as beautiful as the hibiscus flower..."

Knowing her new name, Su Yuzhou, no, it should be "Fusu", she grinned and let out a giggle.

Hearing his son's laughter, Ying Zheng reached out and gently stroked Fusu's delicate face, his movements soft and careful, as if afraid of hurting Fusu. "How strange... Fusu isn't crying..."

Although Ying Zheng had never had children, he knew that his way of holding a child was probably not correct. Fu Su must have been uncomfortable in his arms, just like when Zi Ying was a child. Once, out of curiosity, he tried to hold his younger brother, but as soon as he took him, Zi Ying cried his heart out and wanted to make a scene in the entire Xianyang Palace.

From then on, Ying Zheng was fed up with children, especially crying children, and he never wanted to hold them again.

But this child was different; he stayed quietly in my arms without crying or fussing, which was a truly wonderful feeling.

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, Granny Cui calmly smiled and said, "Young Master Fusu is the King's own son. The bond between father and son is blood, nature, and inseparable, so he is naturally different from other children."

“That makes sense, what you say makes sense. Fusu… son…” Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and said with a rather unrestrained smile.

Later, Ying Zheng used this theory to deal with other children, and without exception, he was always woken up by the children's cries. In addition, as he had more children and experienced more things, his emotions gradually became numb. Let alone being happy and excited like today, even holding a child in person was a rare thing.

The next day, Ying Zheng personally carried Fusu on his back and, with a mulberry wood bow, shot six arrows made of tumbleweed in all four directions: one arrow to the sky, one to the ground, and four to the east, west, south, and north, signifying reverence for heaven and earth and the subjugation of all directions. To have such ambition and aspirations for the four directions is a man's duty.

On the third day, the third day after Fusu's birth, according to the etiquette of the Chinese people, this day is the day for the baby to be bathed, also known as the "three-day baby bath", which is used to announce the good news to relatives and friends and to worship gods and ancestors.

Given Fusu's status as the eldest son, the most suitable person to preside over the third-day celebration ceremony would be Empress Dowager Zhao Ji. However, Zhao Ji lived in Yongcheng for a long time and rarely returned to Xianyang Palace. Although Ying Zheng had sent someone to request his mother to return to preside over the ceremony after Fusu's birth, Zhao Ji declined, citing "illness."

Ying Zheng was somewhat unhappy, but there was nothing he could do. He had no choice but to invite another senior empress dowager in the palace, Lady Mi's great-aunt, his own grandmother, and the widow of King Xiaowen, Empress Dowager Huayang, to preside over the third-day-old ceremony.

Fusu was the son of a woman from Chu, whose mother was a princess of Chu. Empress Dowager Huayang herself was also from Chu. As women from Chu, they were of the same ilk. Both Lady Mi and Empress Dowager Huayang were representatives of Chu's power in the Qin court. Empress Dowager Huayang was naturally delighted with Ying Zheng's request and would not refuse.

The third-day celebration for the eldest son was naturally a grand affair. Not only did all the female relatives of nobles and officials in Xianyang, except for Zhao Ji, come, but any woman of any status who could see the eldest son up close, or even hug him, would praise Fusu with the most sincere expressions and words of praise, making Fusu blush.

Fusu was held in Empress Dowager Huayang's arms, his big eyes wide open, looking around with curiosity.

Because his body was modified in the womb, Fusu is already very sharp-eared and sharp-eyed, even though he was just born. His hearing is above level eight and his vision is a solid 20.

Earthlings… Earthlings are so strange! They actually praised me like that, it made me blush! So shy! So embarrassed! Didn't the observers say that Earthlings are reserved? How come the people here are so unreserved when they praise someone!

But why are there so many people here today? What are they all doing here? Hey! Why are you taking my clothes off? Help! No! There are still so many people here! You're child molesting! Waaah... I've been seen naked!

If Fusu hadn't kept in mind the teaching that "a man sheds blood but not tears," he would have almost cried when he was stripped naked in front of everyone and thrown into a basin of water.

My innocence is gone just like that!

Yes! Innocence! This word was taught to me by other observers before I came to Earth. They said Earth is a place that values ​​innocence very much. If you accidentally see a woman's body or have your body seen by a woman, you have to marry her to take responsibility.

So now the question is, now that so many women have seen his body, should he marry them all?

Fusu clenched his small fists, his handsome eyebrows furrowed tightly, lost in deep thought.

Just as Fusu was in great distress, he heard a shrill voice from the outer hall, "The King has arrived!"

Your Majesty!

Fusu's eyes lit up. This person called "King" seemed to be the father of this body.

Aliens reproduce asexually. Before their death, each alien splits into a new individual, which grows up under the care of the government. Therefore, aliens do not have the concept of "father" or "mother".

According to previous observers, parents are mostly creatures that need to be coaxed. If you don't know how to use cuteness to coax them, please treat them like a boss before you grow up.

But it's really strange, Earthlings only have two arms, so where would they get wings?

While wondering with curiosity, Fusu stretched out his arm to Ying Zheng with a happy face, and kept saying things like "Boss is so great! Boss, give me a raise! Boss, love me again!"

Seeing Fusu, who immediately smiled upon seeing him, reached out his little hands for a hug, and made "ee-ee-oh-oh" sounds that were hard to understand, Ying Zheng's heart melted.

Ying Zheng carefully picked up Fusu and asked Empress Dowager Huayang, "Grandmother, did Fusu cry or fuss today?"

“Fusu is a direct descendant of the Ying clan. Although he is young, he already has the demeanor of King Zhao. How could he cry and make a fuss so easily?”

Empress Dowager Huayang's words immediately brought joy to Ying Zheng, who was suffering from rumors.

King Zhao, also known as King Zhaoxiang, was the father-in-law of Empress Dowager Huayang and the great-grandfather of Ying Zheng. He was a powerful ruler who reigned for 56 years and truly established Qin's status as "invincible under heaven."

Therefore, when Empress Dowager Huayang said that Fusu was "a direct descendant of the Ying clan" and "had the demeanor of King Zhao," she was actually just going around in circles to say that Ying Zheng was a direct descendant of the Ying clan, that his identity was not in question, and that he had absolutely no connection with Lü Buwei.

Empress Dowager Huayang was a senior member of the royal family and a representative of the Chu faction in the Qin Dynasty. For her to say this was essentially the most powerful rebuttal to the rumors about Ying Zheng's birth, and at the same time, it completely cemented Ying Zheng's identity as a member of the royal family with the surname Ying, leaving no room for doubt.

So it's no wonder that Ying Zheng was so happy, almost hugging and kissing Fusu, exclaiming, "My little lucky star, he's truly my son!"

"Your Majesty, I've heard that some people in the court are advising you to take the prince as a hostage?" Empress Dowager Huayang asked, looking at Ying Zheng, who was all smiles and teasing Fusu.

"Grandmother, where did you hear this rumor? My son is not to be taken hostage! This is absurd!" Ying Zheng's face turned cold, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"That's good!" Empress Dowager Huayang breathed a sigh of relief, gently stroked Fusu's face with her fingers, and said with a sigh, "Poor Mi Ji was tempted and believed it to be true, which made her so angry that she had a miscarriage. Although mother and child are safe now, she has still hurt her body and can't even come out for the baby's third-day celebration."

Upon hearing Empress Dowager Huayang's words, Fusu, who was gently biting Ying Zheng's finger, looked up at Ying Zheng.

If I remember correctly, apart from the day I was born, my adoptive father never set foot in my adoptive mother's residence for the next two days, except for sending someone to bring some tonics and a few words of comfort.

The reason given was "fear of passing on the illness's energy."

Sigh! It seems all bosses are heartless! It looks like my boss father isn't a kind person.

Unaware of Fusu's unusual behavior, Ying Zheng simply patted Fusu's back gently, coaxing his son in his arms while nodding in agreement, "Yes..."

In any royal family, from the queen down to the palace maids, everyone is merely a tool for the royal family to perpetuate its bloodline and reproduce. Therefore, children in the palace are far more noble than those of the empress and concubines, and the question of whether to prioritize the mother or the child is practically unheard of in the palace. Now that Mi Ji's health is failing and she seems unable to raise Fusu herself, Ying Zheng naturally won't concern himself with maternal affection. Instead, he will directly consider which lady he should entrust Fusu to.

The princes and princesses are of royal blood, the pride of heaven, and cannot be easily dismissed. But their mothers are like weeds, they can be harvested again and again. As long as the King of Qin is willing, he can replace as many as he wants.

There weren't many other things in the palace, but there were plenty of women. When Mi Ji married into the palace, the King of Chu even had more than a dozen Chu concubines as his concubines to secure his favor.

However, Ying Zheng thought it over and over again. These Chu women were all born out of wedlock and their upbringing and knowledge were not good enough. Fusu was, after all, the eldest son of Qin. What if they raised him to be corrupt?

"Mi Ji is in poor health and unable to raise Fusu. Therefore, I wish to raise Fusu myself. I wonder if Your Majesty would agree?" Empress Dowager Huayang asked, looking at Ying Zheng who seemed to be deep in thought.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's face lit up with joy, and he immediately said, "I am deeply grateful for the Empress Dowager's kindness, but... Fusu is a mischievous and naughty child, and the Empress Dowager will probably have to put in a lot of effort in the future."

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, Fusu in his arms immediately rolled his eyes and screamed inwardly, "Boss, I'm only three days old, and you've only met me twice. How can you tell I'm naughty and mischievous? What exactly is naughty and mischievous about me? When I was in kindergarten, I got little red flowers every day! Earthlings are so annoying!"

Regardless of what Fusu thought, once the third-day-after-birth ceremony was completed, Fusu was taken back to Huayang Palace by Empress Dowager Huayang, who had never given birth in her life and loved children, especially boys, so much that he continued to be a little baby who only knew how to "eat," "sleep," and "poop."

Meanwhile, Ying Zheng received news that shocked him.

"Zhao Gao, what did you say? Say it again!" Ying Zheng slammed his hand heavily on the long table, stood up, pointed at Zhao Gao, his face flushed, and said angrily.

Zhao Gao was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud, his hands braced on the floor, sweat pouring down his forehead like rain, his body trembling like grass in the wind. "The Black Ice Guard reports that the Lao Ai beside the Empress Dowager is a fake eunuch. He has an affair with the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager has given birth to two sons for Lao Ai, who are hiding in the Da Zheng Palace."

"She gave birth to two sons..." Ying Zheng repeated Zhao Gao's words, took a deep breath, sat back on the cushion, rubbed his temples weakly, and looked exhausted. The once heroic and sharp King of Qin looked much older.

She had an affair with a fake eunuch and even fathered two illegitimate children. How could she be so bold? It turns out that she didn't come back for Fusu's third-day celebration not because she was sick, but because of those two illegitimate children. I was worried that she would be lonely in the Dazheng Palace and hesitated about whether to entrust Fusu to her care.

Ying Zheng sat silently in the main seat, while Zhao Gao knelt on the ground, not daring to speak. The atmosphere in the room grew increasingly tense, as if a storm was brewing.

After a long silence, Ying Zheng finally spoke, "Zhao Gao... who else knows about this?"

"Your Majesty, no one else knows at the moment," Zhao Gao said.

"Let's leave it at that for now." Ying Zheng's voice revealed a deep sense of exhaustion. "Don't mention the Empress Dowager's matter to anyone else. Just treat Lao Ai as a real eunuch, and those two children... just consider them as adopted sons that the Empress Dowager took in out of loneliness and boredom."

"Yes!" Zhao Gao responded, stood up and withdrew, leaving Ying Zheng alone in the study with a gloomy expression.

Given the disgraceful events that befell Zhao Ji, Ying Zheng, as her son, naturally felt extremely ashamed and wished he could kill both the adulterer and the bastard child.

However, after careful consideration, Ying Zheng ultimately decided to forgive Zhao Ji.

Firstly, it would be unpleasant to hear if this matter were to become public. Secondly, he thought of how the mother and son had relied on each other in the State of Zhao, and how his mother had treated him very well then. Now, his mother was in her prime, yet she had to remain a widow in the deep palace, and it was understandable that she would feel lonely and miserable. Thirdly, during the Warring States period, the rites and music had collapsed, and the influence of the Qin and Zhao states was even stronger. At that time, it was not uncommon for women, even queens, to remarry after their husbands died and to have male lovers. Not to mention that Empress Dowager Xuan had two illegitimate children with the King of Yiqu and then had her lover, Wei Choufu, buried with her. Even the current Empress Dowager Huayang, as far as Ying Zheng knew, had a lover.

"Mother...please don't let your child down."

"If you behave yourself and wait until those two children grow up, I will grant them wealth and honor."

"otherwise……"
