Chapter 795: Prince Shen Yichen
Yan Fuyao rolled her eyes at him and explained,
"Yi, the most direct meaning is to fly, meaning to fly with wings.
I hope that he will grow up in the future, be able to leave the arms and protection of his parents, face the wind and rain alone, spread his wings and fly high, and become a mature, responsible and courageous man.
He is the eldest son in our family, so he has the highest hopes.
Chen has two meanings: the emperor’s residence and a nickname for the throne.
He is the eldest son and the crown prince, and the future King of Lanling.
It can also mean the emperor’s residence or palace.
Yichen means flying over the palace, not being bound by worldly power, throne and bloodline, soaring freely, and achieving higher achievements in the future than the emperor living in the palace.
"It will live forever."
Yan Fuyao's explanation made several women on the side applaud and praise her for choosing a good name.
Shen Changgong nodded with satisfaction, put his arm around Yan Fuyao's shoulders, and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
Yan Fuyao rolled his eyes at him with disdain and said,
"Why don't you go and comfort your child's mother?"
Shen Changgong chuckled, picked up the paper on the table, and ran into the house.
In the room, the midwife was bathing the newborn with warm water. When she saw Shen Changgong coming in, she hurriedly said,
"My Lord, the child is here."
However, Shen Changgong didn't even look at her. He strode to the bed in the inner room and sat down.
Yu Ziling lay on the bed with a pale face, her hair wet with sweat, standing on her face, breathing slightly.
Shen Changgong took her hand and said distressedly,
"It's hard for you. You've been through hell."
Yu Ziling smiled weakly and said,
"It's okay, I'm in good health, nothing will happen to me. Where's my son? Bring him over to me and let me see him."
"Don't worry, I'm taking a shower."
"But he's crying. Is he hungry?"
Before Yu Ziling gave birth, she disliked the child in every way, but after the birth, she immediately devoted herself to it, with only the child in her eyes, as if the child was her own life.
This is the glory of motherhood.
Shen Changgong smiled and knew,
"You are just as nervous as I am. The baby has just been born and needs to be fed after being washed. He won't be hungry, don't worry.
It’s normal to cry twice, but what’s scary is not crying.”
"That's fine."
Yu Ziling finally felt relieved, looked at Shen Changgong, chuckled, and said,
"Thinking of it this way, I became a mother."
"Did you never expect that I would snatch you away and give birth to my child?"
"Bah, you've been the one forcing me to do this. You destroyed my capital, imprisoned me, and forced me to submit."
Yu Ziling pouted, sat up and snuggled in Shen Changgong's arms.
Shen Changgong sighed,
"From now on, you are not only the commander of the Yuying Army, nor only my wife, Shen Changgong. You are the mother of my child and the mother of Shen Yichen."
"Shen what? ...Who?"
"Your son."
"Has my son's name been chosen?"
Yu Ziling widened her eyes in surprise and looked at the piece of paper in Shen Changgong's hand.
"Shen Yichen, what do you mean?"
Shen Changgong explained the meaning of these two words to Yu Ziling in detail.
Yu Ziling, who came from a family of warriors and had a low level of education, thought this explanation was very good after hearing it and gladly accepted this good name.
Then, the two hugged each other and talked for a long time.
The midwife came over with the baby in her small cloak, handed it to Shen Changgong, and said,
"Your Highness, hold me gently, with your head tilted upwards."
Shen Changgong looked at the quiet little face with eyes closed and asked,
"Is he asleep?"
"Yes, he's asleep. A newborn baby doesn't have much energy, so he needs to eat more and sleep more. When he wakes up and cries, you can feed him."
"Row."
Shen Changgong held his son in his arms. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him. He even wanted to look at the baby's face with his eyes.
Yu Ziling hit him and said,
"Move aside and let me hold you."
Then, she snatched the doll away and held it in her arms, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
"I'm really looking forward to the first time he opens his eyes, walks, and calls mommy for the first time."
Shen Changgong chuckled and said,
"So...if you had to choose between raising children and leading troops in battle, which would you choose?"
Yu Ziling's face darkened, she stared at Shen Changgong, clenched her fists, and said,
"I want it all!"
"When there's a war, I'll give it to the wet nurse. When there's no war, I'll take care of it myself. I want both. Don't even think about it!"
Of course Shen Changgong knew what she meant by "don't even think about it". He laughed and put his arm around Yu Ziling's shoulders.
"Children usually open their eyes within two or three days, some earlier and some later, so don't worry.
You lie down and have some rest first. Her Majesty and the others are waiting to see the child. Since you are not feeling well, I won't let them in. I will carry the child out for them to see.
I’ll send it back to you after I’ve finished reading it.”
"Well, let's go."
Shen Changgong carefully picked up the child and walked outside.
When they got to the yard, all the women gathered around him, their eyes lighting up as they looked at the wrinkled little baby in his arms.
Gongsun Wan'er said with eyes wide open,
"So cute! When my child is born, he will be this cute too, right?"
Jiang Ruoxue said quietly,
"Leave the child to me?"
"Let Zi Ling and the maids take care of the child. If any of you have time, you can come and help take care of the child."
"Row."
Yan Fuyao reached out and borrowed the child, gently touched his little nose, and said with a smile,
"Grow up quickly, little one. We are all your mothers. When you grow up, you must call us one by one."
"Write to your father about this quickly and make your parents happy. They've been looking forward to having a grandson every day."
Hearing this, Shen Changgong smiled and said,
"If they knew I was taking the child to war, they would probably rush over from Shengjing and snatch the child away."
"What are you afraid of? There are so many of us here, can't we protect him?"
Everyone gathered around the little kid.
After holding the child for a long time, Shen Changgong sent the child back to the room and let him sleep next to Yu Ziling.
Afterwards, Shen Changgong sent people to rush to the military camp outside the city to tell the commanders of each army the good news that the Prince of Lanling was born.
After hearing the news, the generals of various armies prepared gifts and came to the palace, saying that they wanted to see the child.
There was no way out. Shen Changgong couldn't refuse everyone's kindness, so he had to take out the baby who had just finished breastfeeding and let everyone see it.
After seeing the child, everyone was very happy. Shen Changgong said,
"Let's postpone the banquet for now. In half a month, Lao Guan's Western Army will arrive. When they arrive, we will hold a celebration banquet and a full moon banquet together. Then everyone can enjoy the drinks."
