Chapter 35 Tong Jia - Forgetting Worries (13)
Tingfeng, who had been on high alert, saw no unusual signs except for a sliver of dawn, and heard that the little master had been born inside. Only then did he hurriedly tell Wangyou the news.
When Wangyou heard that there were no other unusual phenomena, she breathed a slight sigh of relief, but when she looked at the little guy beside her who had been cleaned up, she smiled slightly.
"Qingqing, we're having a child now, and we won't have any more after this one!" Erhe rushed in, ignoring the servants' attempts to stop him, and said with tears in his eyes when he saw Wangyou safe and sound.
"Okay!" Wangyou readily agreed, since she didn't want to have any more children anyway. "But why are you crying?"
"I'm scared!" Erhe hugged Wangyou as if she were a lost treasure that had been found again.
"Alright, come and look at our child!"
“This child is really beautiful, just as pretty as you!” Erhe said without even turning his head.
“This child’s eyes and mouth are clearly like Wangyou’s, but his nose and eyebrows are more like yours!” Jue Luo looked at the two of them being affectionate, but her eyes were full of smiles.
"Thank you, Mother-in-law!" Erhe stood up and bowed deeply to Jue Luo Shi.
"Get up quickly, Wangyou is my daughter, it's only right that I take care of her!" Jue Luo was satisfied as long as her son-in-law treated her daughter well.
"Don't worry, take a rest if you're tired. The baby is being looked after. We've prepared milk and goat milk, so you don't need to worry about the baby's food!"
"Mother, I understand. I'm a little tired, I'll take a nap!"
Seeing that Wangyou was asleep, Jueluo took the child and prepared to feed him some milk. As expected, the child, like Wangyou, did not drink human milk. Fortunately, there was cow's milk and goat's milk. He drank a little of both and then fell asleep.
Upon being reborn, Ying Zheng, having been born safely, didn't have time to think too much and quickly fell asleep. Even the strongest soul cannot resist the instincts of an infant!
The next day, Jue Luo packed her things and went back home, as there were still many things to do at Tong Guogang's residence.
"Erhe, keep a close eye on Wangyou. I've already told you everything you shouldn't do during your postpartum period, so make sure you don't do any of those things. Watch over her carefully!" Jueluo Shi repeatedly reminded her, still worried.
"Mother, am I that disobedient?" Wangyou said, feeling wronged. All she had done was secretly pour medicine out when she was sick as a child.
"Don't you know your place? Alright, don't bother seeing me off, I'm leaving!" Jue Luo Shi thought she had made the arrangements and left. Erhe saw Jue Luo Shi onto the carriage and then hurried back.
"Qingqing, have we decided on a name for our son yet?"
"I remember you thought about it for a long time, do you have any clue?"
"Sigh, I thought of a whole bunch of names, but after our son was born, I suddenly felt that none of them were good enough for him!"
"Let's name him Xi Xuan, this name suits him!"
"why?"
"Xi means light, and Xuan means the black bird!" Seeing the baby's rolling eyes, "Look, doesn't our Xi Xuan like it too!"
Erhe didn't see that the child was happy, but he could see that Wangyou was happy, so he simply didn't object. "Then our son will be named Xixuan!"
"Why aren't you on duty today?!"
"I've taken leave. Anyway, there are a lot of people at the Hanlin Academy where I work, so taking a day or two off won't be a problem!" In Erhe's heart, nothing was more important than his wife and children.
"Xi Xuan, you have to be good. Your mother was in so much pain when she gave birth to you. You must listen to your mother!" Erhe said happily as he looked at his son who had just opened his eyes.
After hearing this, Wangyou was speechless, but considering that Erhe was thinking of her, she kept quiet and started playing with their son together.
"By the way, we won't hold any big celebrations for the baby's third-day celebration and full-month celebration. It would be too conspicuous to hold them now. We'll just invite close relatives from both families!" Wangyou said after thinking for a moment.
"Isn't that too unfair to our son?"
"No, I'm not upset. It's already getting cold outside, and I can't bear to see my child get cold. Let's have a big celebration for their first birthday!"
"Okay, I'll do as you say!"
Ying Zheng, who should be Xi Xuan, looked at his parents in this life. Both his parents were exceptionally good-looking, but his father's bald head had significantly diminished his good looks.
However, he had heard his mother talk a lot while he was still in her womb. He thought that his parents in this life would love him very much, and Xi Xuan's little heart was full of anticipation.
Although he was initially furious when he learned that the Qin Dynasty would only last two generations, and was also disappointed to learn that the current rulers were barbarians, all of that vanished with his birth. The first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng, was already dead, and the one who was alive now was Xi Xuan of the Qing Dynasty.
……
"Son, let your mother guess who you are. If I guess right, blink!" Now that only Wangyou and the child were left in the room, Wangyou started to tease the child.
Xi Xuan stared with her big, watery eyes, giving Wang You no chance to react.
"Stop pretending. I guessed it when you were still in my belly. You probably have memories, but you probably forgot to drink the Meng Po soup. I remember you were the most active when I read about the history of the Qin Dynasty. You wouldn't happen to be the First Emperor Ying Zheng, would you!"
Xi Xuan blinked involuntarily. Was her mother really that perceptive?
"That's really true! Then I'm so lucky! When you grow up, your mother will take you out to conquer the world!" Wangyou grabbed the child's little hands and feet, having a great time.
Xi Xuan looked utterly hopeless. Even after his mother confessed, she still treated him like a child, showing no mercy when playing with him, and acting even more like a child than he did.
Erhe had bumped into things more than once, but as long as Wangyou was happy, that was all that mattered. Sometimes he would even play with the children with Wangyou. Xixuan felt that he had no temper at all now.
After her confinement period ended, Wangyou washed herself thoroughly three times, and her son was also cleaned. Only then did Wangyou feel comfortable. These people really kept a close eye on her, not even letting her touch water.
"Son, what do you want to hear today? Your mother has written a new storybook today, would you like to listen?" Wangyou read the story of the domineering prince and the charming little nun that she had written to her son.
Xi Xuan was already used to it, habitually staring blankly. His mother was clearly highly talented, but she just liked to play. In her words, she was a lazy bum. Of course, you couldn't ignore your mother's stories, because apart from some unnecessary content, many of the things she wrote could be applied to reality. Therefore, although Xi Xuan would blush every time he listened, he listened very attentively.
Forget-Worries means writing something for your own son to read, but never taking it out to others, because nothing is suitable to be taken out now.
Back then, she asked Tong Guogang to tell Emperor Kangxi about some things in the west, but it was not taken seriously. Therefore, the Tong family had to organize their own fleet to go to sea and earn a lot of money.
As for learning about Western culture, few people were interested, and without teachers to guide them, it was not easy to learn. In addition, various events had occurred since Kangxi ascended the throne, so it was delayed.
Wangyou no longer expects Kangxi to remember her. Anyway, there's still plenty of time. Her son is the reincarnation of Ying Zheng. When Xixuan is about ten years old, she will have Erhe resign from his post, take her own children to expand the territory, and establish herself as king.
There's no reason why her son, who was a great emperor in his past life, should be inferior to others in this life!
