Chapter 102.1

The little thing in his hand was soft and slippery, and Zhan Zhen could only squat there, not daring to move.

Qi Sile stepped forward, took the child and cut the umbilical cord, then pulled him up, handled the placenta and helped Xian Sheng clean up his body.

There was weird silence in the room. Qi Sile suddenly remembered something. He handed the child to the midwife and others to clean up and asked to wrap it up in a small blanket and said: “Quickly, send someone to the palace to report the good news.”

As soon as he spoke, the people inside and outside the room finally had voices and movements and congratulated one after the other.

The servants of the Crown Prince’s Mansion rode a fast horse and quickly arrived at the gate of the palace.  The guards hurriedly announced: “The Crown princess has given birth! The eldest grandson is born!!”

When the news came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Eunuch Dou trotted all the way and quickly came to His majesty’s bed: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty!”

“Uh… Uh?” Emperor Jin suddenly woke up and said: “What’s the matter?”

“There is news from the Crown Prince’s mansion that the child is born”

Emperor Jin: “?!!”

*

Empress’s Palace

“Hurry up, bring my clothes.”

Dou momo shouted: “Comb your hair, comb your hair!”

“It’s too fast, he gave birth suddenly…has he already given birth or is he about to give birth?”

Dou momo replied: “When the baby was born, he just came down. The Crown  prince and the princess were shocked.”

The empress hurriedly came to the gate of the palace and suddenly heard the sound of horses hooves behind her. Thinking that someone who was unruly dared to ride a horse in the palace, she suddenly pulled on her horse, it was Emperor Jin.

“Are you making trouble? You haven’t ridden a horse for many years!”

“Well at least they aren’t slow!”

The eunuch and the imperial army rushed behind on horseback. Emperor Jin raised his whip and galloped all the way to the Crown Prince’s Mansion. When he dismounted from the horse, he sprained his leg and was held by the empress: “Don’t panic.”

“…I am not panicking.”

“Is your leg okay?”

“I’m fine.” Emperor Jin raised his sleeves and went in. Many people stood in front of the master bedroom of the prince’s residence and knelt down: “Congratulations, your majesty! Congratulations, Empress!”

“Okay, get up, don’t scare the children.”

The couple came in together. The child was wrapped and placed next to Xian Sheng. Xian Sheng was sitting on the bed and staring at it.

The empress stretched out her hand to hold her grandson. The emperor  immediately leaned in to look at him, “Little baby?”

The little guy’s cheeks were a little red, his eyes were half-open but his eyes were very bright. Emperor Jin was happy on the spot: “Oh oh oh oh, little baby… so beautiful.”

The little guy squeezed his eyes and suddenly his eyes began to turn in Xian Sheng’s direction. The Empress was so happy: “What a great grandson…”

“It’s the eldest grandson.” Emperor Jin looked down and Qi Sile said hurriedly: “It’s a boy.”

The baby’s little hand shook and half of his tongue stretched in his lips. His expression suddenly became a little unhappy. Emperor Jin hurriedly said, “Why do you seem to be upset?”

As soon as he finished his voice, the baby opened his toothless mouth and let out a loud cry.

The empress was busy patting and coaxing but the coaxing was not good enough, he clenched his fist and started crying. Qi Sile said from the side: “He was crying just now. When I  put him in front of the Crown princess, he calmed down immediately.”

Emperor Jin did not believe in heresy: “Put him over and have a look.”

The Empress immediately hugged the child and walked towards Xian Sheng. When she was getting closer, the baby’s eyes were filled with tears and the crying suddenly became smaller. The eyes of so many adults in the room were all on him  and Xian Sheng also looked over. The empress suddenly hugged him and stepped back and the little thing started crying loudly again.

“So divine?” Emperor Jin was taken aback and the empress hurriedly hugged and walked two steps and came to Xian Sheng. The latter was helpless and put out his arm. The little guy fell silent again in tears, and stopped waving his little arm. His eyes were open, and his ears seemed to be picking up as if to listen.

Who knows what he heard?

“He is really divine.” The empress laughed too, took him back a step, left Xain sheng’s aura and the crying sounded again. This time it didn’t work even if he was close to Xian sheng until Xian sheng really picked him up.

The empress taught him(XS): “Hold it like this, hold him here with both your hands.”

Emperor Jin looked overjoyed: “This child will make great achievements in the future!”

The empress hurriedly asked: “Have you chosen a name?”

Zhan Zhen was still a bit muddleheaded. After shouting several times did he finally return to his senses: “Sheng’er …want to call him Zhan he, meaning peace.”

Emperor Jin frowned and was obviously disappointed. He suggested a few names. Unfortunately, Zhan Zhen’s mind is not flexible at the moment and he didn’t pay attention.

Xian Sheng was smarter than Zhan Zhen and said hurriedly: “If father doesn’t like it, you can give him a name.”

“Then I…”

Before he could finish his words, the baby started crying again. Xian Sheng patted him lightly. Emperor Jin looked at him strangely and said: “Then Zhan he…..”

The room became quiet.

The Empress sighed: “Strange. Is he that spiritual? Did he understand what you said?”

Xian Sheng looked down at the baby. As soon as the little guy got into his arms, he looked at him with round eyes. His gaze was no different from that of Zhan Zhen’s. He would occasionally blink vigorously, squinting and resting for a while. Through the thin slits of his eyes, he can still see Xian sheng.

He smiled: “How do you do it?”

The little guy clicked his mouth.

It’s still middle of the night, considering that Xian Sheng had to rest, Emperor Jin and the Empress didn’t stay long. When they were leaving, they kept turning their heads back. The little guy was taken to feed milk and he was noisy all the way until he was brought back to Xian Sheng. 

Qi Sile checked his pulse again and said, “You had an urgent labor, so you must take care of yourself and don’t let anything go wrong.”

“Aren’t there other cases like mine?”

“Yes, there are but they are all second children. The first child has never been born so fast… Besides, with your bones, we have long been prepared to fight for a few days and nights.”

“My… reproductive cavity is designed to make a baby. Maybe it’s a little different from women”

Qi Sile thought for a while. Xian Sheng has never particularly looked pregnant. The child was only slightly big when he was born but the cognitive function was good. During pregnancy, Xian Sheng’s mentality had always been very good while Zhan Zhen was overwhelmed with anxiety.

“That’s true. The child is already born, it’s useless to think about it.”

“Thankyou, Royal Uncle”
