Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

389 Nanglong Shou

The next day, Jun Hua woke up lazily. She still felt rather tired after wasting her entire energy to give birth just a day before. When she finally accustomed to the light, she could see her husband was sitting on the chair near her.

"You're awake?" Nanglong Soujin put the book on his hand away.

Jun Hua nodded her head drowsily, "Where is my son?"

"He was in the room next door," Nanglong Soujin explained. "Eat some food first, you have expanded quite an energy just the day before."

Jun Hua nodded her head in agreement. In any case, she didn't feel like doing anything today with her body lacked any strength. Seeing Jun Hua didn't disagree, Nanglong Soujin waved his hand and ordered the servants to prepare food for her. Before long, she has finished eating the entire food with Nanglong Soujin.

"Although I have prepared quite a lot, it seems it won't be enough if you eat this much every day," Soujin joked.

"I nearly didn't eat anything yesterday," Jun Hua answered. She was wiping her mouth when she recalled something important, "Right, I don't want to have 10 children. It would be too hard for my body."

Internally, Nanglong Soujin agreed with her thoughts. After experiencing hours of waiting for her, he knew that he wouldn't be able to go through that anymore. If he had to experience it for another nine times… he might be as well tried to search a way to replace the lady in giving birth.

"Then let's just have three," Soujin suggested. He should be able to handle it if it was only three times.

Jun Hua stretched her body, "Mm, I guess I still could handle it if it's three, but not now. I want to see my son first."

"Alright," Nanglong Soujin waved his hand and the servants quickly took the little prince to Jun Hua. After one day, his feature has become even clearer and Jun Hua was stunned to see the face of the little boy. It seemed like the combination from her gene, and Nanglong Soujin's was truly a deadly art. His round eyes were looking towards her excitedly as if he knew that she is his mother.

Still, she loved her son very much and held the little baby safely in her arm. The baby stayed calm and seemed happy to stay at his mother embrace. Probably it was true that mother and son would have a special connection.

"With this kind of face, he might be as well turned the entire capital upside down."

Soujin shrugged, "Just like his mother."

"I didn't turn the entire capital upside down," Jun Hua glared at the other party. She did create some trouble in the past because of her face both as Jun Min and Jun Hua, but they were not enough to be called turned the entire capital upside down.

Soujin arched his eyebrows, "I recall someone was making almost all the nobles went against the little 'boy'."

Jun Hua snorted and looked away. That was only an accident. She never thought her face would bring that much trouble at that time, so she simply did her plan that way. If only she knew how devastating her face was, she won't do that plan.

"I want to have some sleep again. I'm still tired," Jun Hua handed the baby over to the midwife.

Nanglong Soujin nodded, "Before that, don't you want to name our son first?"

"Have you thought of a name?" Jun Hua immediately asked.

"I was thinking about giving him the name Shou as it means longevity," Nanglong Soujin answered.

"Nanglong Shou, Shou'er" Jun Hua muttered for a while before nodding her head. This name sound quite good and she liked it.

"Then it would be the name of the little fellow," Soujin waved his hand to dismiss the servants and took the little prince rest. He pulled Jun Hua to the bed.

"I don't have any energy…" Jun Hua frowned.

"I know, I just want to sleep by your side," Soujin answered and pulled the girl closer to him. He had longed to hug her for so long like this and stayed by her side.

Jun Hua buried her head in the man chest and slowly drifted back to sleep.

…

Palace

Ming Yan listened to the news about the birth of Nanglong Shou with a satisfied smile. He was worried about Jun Hua's condition, but after knowing that the little lass was fine, he felt much better. If something were to happen to the girl, there would be no doubt that Soujin wouldn't want to go to another kingdom.

"Now Soujin already have a child," Yan mourned, "But I don't even have a partner."

The officials below were all ears when they heard Yan lamenting about his condition. It was not like the offers were none, but the emperor simply looked at them with a sidelong glance. It was clear that the emperor didn't have much interest towards those girls other than flirting with them for a short while. What a troublesome emperor.

Shu didn't even bother to console his master as he continued with his report. At the end of his report, the eunuch announced the arrival of Princess Meng and Tang Xuan.

As the two people with one servant come in, the eyes of the officials were mostly locked to them. Only a handful of them managed to curb their interest to not look at the rumored beautiful princess. With a single look, they could see the beautiful figure of a young woman standing gracefully.

"Princess Xiao Meng greeted Your Highness," Xiao Meng greeted followed by Tang Xuan.

Yan nodded his head. "It has been some time, Princess Meng. Is there anything you want to talk about?"

"I want to inquire about the plan to visit the Gu Yue Kingdom," Xiao Meng smiled brightly. "Now that Princess Hua had delivered her child, Prince Soujin should have the required time to go. Am I right?"

In truth, Yan didn't want to let Soujin go to the Gu Yue Kingdom. With Soujin already became a father, he would have nothing to say to Jun Hua should something happened to his best friend. Besides, with Jun Hua current state, Soujin wouldn't want to leave the other party at all.

"Please wait for a few more days, Princess Meng. We will prepare everything soon," Yan said in a calm tone. He had begun to admire himself for his acting ability seemed to increase much more after he became the emperor.

Xiao Meng frowned for a moment before placing a smile in her face, "I understand Your Highness. However, please bear in mind that the river won't wait."

"I know. You're now dismissed."

"Thank you, Your Highness," Xiao Meng and Tang Xuan bowed politely before walking away. Steward Du was waiting near the door, and at that moment, Lin Hong walked in to bring the report. He passed by Tang Xuan and gave way to the other party.

Seeing the back of Xiao Meng walked away from the hall, Yan sighed to himself. It would have been better if only Ming Hui had finished his conquest in taking over the revolt in Yuan Kingdom area. Since the time the other party got the task, it has already taken so long.

"Shu, when will Ming Hui finish the battle?"

"Your Highness, the prowess of the rebels have increased during this past month," Shu answered, "They have gained quite a powerful backer for them."

"Indeed," Yan clenched his fist, "They are truly troublesome."

"Lin Hong, you're in front of His Majesty, please remember your manner," Shu noticed that Lin Hong seemed to be a little off.

Lin Hong snapped back to reality. "My apologies, Your Highness, I come here to bring the report of the economic in capital."

"Hand them to Shu."

Shu stepped forward and received the report. At this moment, he noticed that a crumpled paper was put on his palm. It was clear that there was something secretive that someone tasked Lin Hong to bring to them.

"You're dismissed."

Lin Hong bowed down before walking away. Ming Yan looked towards Shu with questions all over his face. "What is it, Shu?"

"Your Highness, I believe this matter is not as simple as it looks like."
