”Wow, wow …”
The clear cry of a baby could be heard. It was sonorous and penetrating.
”It's born, the Madam is born. Quickly go and congratulate the Master, the Madam is born.”
”Master, congratulations to the master. The mistress has given birth to a boy for the master. The master has an heir.”
A one-armed middle-aged man was pacing restlessly in the courtyard. When he heard the news, his face lit up with joy: ”God bless my Southern Champion, God bless Your Majesty …”
He muttered in a low voice, and the servant looked at his master with a strange gaze. His wife had children, what did it have to do with Nanke and the Emperor?
The flower trees supported the sparse, the scenery was elegant and light. Although the courtyard wasn't very luxurious, it still exuded a feeling of elegance and tranquility.
At the moment, in the room, the midwife was busy cutting off the umbilical cord and cleaning the baby.
”Let me see.”
A weak voice sounded and a pretty girl turned her head towards the crying baby with a pale and weak face.
”Madam, you should take a good rest. Wait for me to wash up before you show it to Madam.”
Someone came over to help with the cleaning. The woman was drenched in sweat, and her face was full of joy and an indescribable gentleness.
She was as pretty as a peach in the spring and as delicate as a chrysanthemum in the autumn. She was about forty years old. Her eyes were filled with endless gentleness. Her cheeks were slightly dimpled. Although her face was pale and her body was weak, she was still elegant.
His wet hair stuck to his face. He had exhausted all his strength just now and was extremely tired. If it wasn't for the fact that he still had a conviction in his heart, he would have already fainted if he looked at himself and his child.
”Madam, please look. Young Master is so handsome, he looks just like Madam.”
The midwife carried the child to the woman. The woman gazed tenderly at the familiar face, its outline faintly discernible, though somewhat blurry.
He reached out to pick up the child, but because of the exhaustion of his energy and physical strength, his eyes went black and he fainted.
”Madam, madam …”
An anxious call sounded out in the room. The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and asked: ”Are Madam and the child safe?”
”Master, don't worry. Young Master is fine. Madam has just fainted. It's fine. You can recover in a few days after resting.”
”Where are the children? Show them to me.”
”Master, don't be in such a hurry. This young master has just been born and should not be exposed to the wind. Master, please wait a moment. Finished packing, please come in and watch.”
The middle-aged man was both anxious and happy as he continuously paced around the courtyard.
”Hehe, look at the old master, this isn't the first time he has a son, and he's still so happy about it.”
”What do you know? Even though the old master already has a son, this young master is different. He is the direct descendant of the old master's wife. Of course the old master would be happy.”
The courtyard was abnormally busy. Due to the addition of a young master, the entire mansion was brimming with an indescribable sense of joy.
The middle-aged man seemed to remember something as he hastily went into his study and left with a letter.
”Master, please go over to take a look. You can go in and see Madam and Young Master.”
The middle-aged man quickly walked in, and someone carried the child in his arms and passed it to him: ”Old master, look at how handsome young master is. He's definitely going to be a rare handsome man in the future. From what I see, the young master does look a bit more like the Madam. ”
As his gaze landed on the child's face, a look of shock appeared on the middle-aged man's face. He hurriedly took the child from the midwife and said, ”Come, someone, give us a reward.”
The face that looked at the child was still young and tender, but it was so handsome that it seemed to have a hint of coldness and calmness rarely seen in infants.
At this moment, the child had already fallen asleep. His sword-like eyebrows were slightly knit, as if he knew how much pain the world was suffering.
”Truly …”
The middle-aged man muttered to himself as he handed the child over to the mother. ”You must be well-fed. Do not slack off.”
”It's the old master! Congratulations to the old master for getting a son in his middle years. Congratulations to the old master.”
Everyone went up to congratulate him. The middle-aged man smiled and said, ”There are rewards, there are rewards for all of you.”
”Thank you, master.”
The middle-aged man slightly frowned as he turned around and left the room.
”I've just been born and I already look so similar. If I were slightly older, what would I do? ”If that's the case, I'm afraid that I can't hide it from the people with ulterior motives. How should I deal with this matter?”
”I am going to the Hongmeng Palace to pray for my fortune. The empress can help me supervise the imperial government.”
Ji Tian Ning was slightly surprised. ”When did the emperor think of going to the Hongmeng Palace to pray for blessings?”
”Ning'er, you're right. I've been too tired these days, so I should take a breather and head to the Hongmeng Palace to rest for a few days. For the past two days, I have had a splitting headache. I have gone to pay my respects to the True God to seek his blessings. I'm really jealous of you, you actually got the blessings of a True God. ”
Ji Tian Ning didn't dodge as her arms wrapped around Ji Tian Ning's waist, making her body even heavier than before.
”Ning'er, do you still hate me?”
”No more hate, nothing more.”
Ji Tian Ning said indifferently. He couldn't bear to look at the flame reverse scale and see its gaunt and gaunt face. Even if he found the antidote, it would still be too late.
Unless she was an immortal, she would not be able to save the Fire Reversal Scale now that she had taken the secret medicine for too long.
”I will be leaving now. I will be resting for a few days. Perhaps my devotion this time can move the true Gods and allow me to be chosen by them to enter the Sacred Land.”
