Chapter Eighty-Five: Red Eyes
"It's out, it's finally born." The midwife picked up the baby and announced the good news to Xu Weiqiu who was lying on the bed: "Congratulations, madam, it's a boy with a baby."
Xu Weiqiu, who had been through hell, didn't care whether the child was a boy or a girl, she only cared about one thing.
"Is this child's hands and feet intact? Is there any missing arms or legs or something?"
"Madam, what are you talking about? How can anyone curse their child like this? This baby is very healthy. You can tell by hearing the cry..."
Amidst the midwife's accusations, Xu Weiqiu could no longer hold on and fainted. Before falling asleep, she was cursing someone in her heart.
Damn it, Zhao Yan, you just patted your butt and ran away after you were happy. I almost didn't report to King Yama.
The right general who was charging on the battlefield suddenly sneezed. The enemy in front saw the opportunity and stabbed him. Zhao Yan blocked the enemy with his sword, raised his foot to kick, and then killed the opponent with a backhand knife.
This party had just finished killing one, and another person rushed up to him on the left. In the blink of an eye, he killed him again with a knife. In an instant, he had killed several people in succession. After a while, there was no living thing beside him.
Seeing his incomparable bravery, the enemy troops did not dare to approach him rashly.
Dozens of soldiers retreated bit by bit. Where Zhao Yan could allow these people to retreat, he rushed forward with a knife. The sword rose and fell, and he was quickly killed.

Haitang brought the confinement soup into the house and saw the young master, who was only five days old, lying on the couch with his little hands moving around. Her wife, who had just become a mother, had her back facing the infant.
The baby turned sideways and turned the pages of the book attentively.
It was said that her wife came from the countryside and was not literate. She was the only one who knew that her master was buried in books all day long and knew enough knowledge that it would not be a problem to pass the Jinshi examination.
She put the soup on the table and couldn't help but said: "Madam, at least you put the young master in it. What if he falls out of bed?"
The person lying on the couch leisurely turned a page of the book and said lightly: "Don't worry, he has only been a human for a few days. If he can't turn over, how can he fall down?"
When Haitang saw this, she still felt uneasy, so she found a chair and blocked it in front of the couch. Xu Weiqiu looked back and said nothing.
Haitang brought the soup to her, teased the swaddled baby, and then went out to work again.
Xu Weiqiu drank the soup, put down the bowl, and turned over to stare at the little baby next to him. To be honest, the baby was really pretty, pink and tender, with slender eyes and a tall nose.
His facial features were very similar to that of the man in the north, but she didn't like him.
Also, who has such long hair when he is born? She reached out and touched the baby's shiny head. The baby looked at her and hummed twice.
The baby in front of him is his son. It has been five days, and Xu Weiqiu has not yet been able to adapt to the fact that he is a mother.
Looking at the baby in front of her who was waiting to be fed, even though it came out of her belly, she felt that she had no special feelings for it at all, let alone any maternal love?
Xu Weiqiu couldn't help but suspect that he seemed to be a cold-blooded person by nature...

Jin Nuo quietly left Prince Sheng's Mansion through the corner gate. As soon as he walked down the steps, a woman jumped out from behind the stone lion.
Jin Nuo looked back and then called out to the woman: "Mother."
The woman glanced at her, and without asking how her daughter was doing recently, she opened her hands to her: "Did you get the money?"
Jin Nuo handed a small money bag to her. The woman opened the bag and poured it into her palm. When she saw that only a few pieces of silver fell out, her expression immediately changed and she asked, "Is that all?"
Jin Nuo quickly said: "Mom, this is all my body."
The woman obviously didn't believe it: "How is it possible? You work as an errand in such a big palace. There is a lot of money and wealth. Have you kept it to yourself?"
"I really don't."
The woman said earnestly:
"Jin Nuo, do you know how much debt your brother owes? It's seventy taels of silver. If the debt is not paid by the end of the month, my boss will send your brother to the government."
"Mom, I really have no money. I give you more than half of my monthly salary, so how can I have any body left?"
Seeing that she was out of luck, the woman's face darkened, and she began to curse: "Damn girl, I raised you so big, you can be a popular drinker in this prince's palace, and you don't care whether your brother lives or lives, right? I don't care.
, you have to have it if you have it, you have to have it if you don’t have it.”
Under her mother's scolding, Jin Nuo was forced to burst into tears immediately, and she had no choice but to promise that she would go back and find a solution.
Seeing her nodding, the woman took the money bag and left the palace...
A few days later…
In the flower hall of the east courtyard, a group of women were sitting around. The wet nurse brought the infant baby over. Everyone was amazed to see that the young master looked so much like the prince.
Cousin Gao Xiangning held the child in her arms and teased her.
Mrs. Yang watched from a distance, with mixed feelings in her heart. She thought that she had always had the most loved ones in this palace. She had always dreamed of giving birth to a son for the prince, but she didn't expect that she would be married to this right person.
Fang took the lead and gave birth to his eldest son in one fell swoop.
She was jealous and resentful in her heart, but she had to pretend to be happy.
"This little baby is so pretty." Gao Xiangning couldn't put it down with the baby in her arms. Yang couldn't help but said after hearing this: "My cousin is almost fifteen. When we get married someday, she can also give birth to a big fat baby."
.”
Gao Xiangning was thin-skinned and blushed on the spot when she said this.
She did not answer Yang's question, but instead glanced at Xu Weiqiu and said, "My cousin looks really good, her face is white and beautiful."
Upon hearing her words, everyone present nodded in agreement.
Xu Weiqiu reached out and touched her face. It was true that after more than half a month of confinement, with good soup and water every day, her whole person seemed to be completely transformed.
The wet nurse stepped forward to take the child from Gao Xiangning's arms. At this time, Feng said, "Can I hug him?"
Hearing this, the wet nurse hesitated for a moment and turned to look at Xu Weiqiu. After she nodded, she carefully carried the child to Mrs. Feng.
Feng took the child, and the child grinned at her. Feng was captured by the little guy on the spot. She wanted to give him all the good things she had on her body, so she untied the jade pendant around her neck and tried to put it on the child's neck.
But as soon as she put it on, she said "Hey".
"Is this the golden lock given by His Highness Prince Sheng? Why doesn't it look like real gold?"
As soon as these words came out, Jin Nuo's hands, who were serving her with a cup of tea, couldn't help shaking. Xu Weiqiu didn't miss her momentary loss of composure and turned to look at her.
"It's not like it's pure gold."
