Chapter 91

The sun came out early in the morning, but it still didn’t bring much warmth to people, but the snow gradually stopped. Doctor Zhang heard about Su Yan's birth that night early in the morning, put on his winter clothes and rushed to Hanxiang Hall. He was blind in one eye and had bad legs and feet, so he walked extremely slowly along the wall.

When he was almost there, he happened to meet a luxuriously dressed woman walking from the Hanxiang Hall with several palace attendants.

"How can someone be so stingy? I am a queen after all, and I can't even look at people. He said that Su Yan needed to rest and not be disturbed. Why didn't he leave first? I took the child away after just one glance. I can't eat his son." Lin Fu's tone was full of dissatisfaction and his steps were fast. No one among the waiters behind her dared to respond. Only Lin Shi beside her nodded and smiled.

"It's good to know that Su Yan is fine. We'll come back when she gets better." Lin Shi comforted her and handed her the snowball she had kneaded in her hand.

"You're not too cold, what are you doing with this thing..." She said something bad, but she still took it.

Doctor Zhang stood by the wall and stopped moving after they passed by, hesitating whether to go to the Hanxiang Hall or not. Even the Queen couldn't meet Su Yan, so his visit would probably be in vain. At least he already knew that Su Yan was fine and had nothing to worry about. After thinking for a while, Doctor Zhang decided to turn around and walk back.

When Su Yan gave birth, it was the time to fall asleep late at night. She had spent so much energy and was already extremely sleepy, so she slept for an extra long time. Xu Mohuai was worried and wouldn't let the imperial doctor leave. She asked someone to check her pulse every half an hour.

Everyone stayed up all night with Xu Mohuai, and even had their breakfast in the Hanxiang Hall. Even though they received the reward, they could not resist the desire to rest, and they all waited listlessly in the hall with their eyelids drooped. Only Xu Mohuai didn't seem tired at all. Sometimes he went to see Su Yan, and sometimes he took a look at the newborn little prince, but he couldn't hide the redness in the whites of his eyes.

When Su Yan woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning. Seeing that she finally woke up, the doctors and female officers of Shang Yao Bureau breathed a sigh of relief, and Xu Mohuai finally asked them to go back.

As soon as Su Yan got up, someone brought hot soup for her to drink.

She subconsciously touched her belly, which was already much flatter. Although the baby had been born, it still felt slightly bulging.

Before she could ask, Xu Mohuai said, "He's a prince. He looks...very good."

Su Yan thought he would say something to praise the child, but he opened his mouth but paused, leaving only one "Very good" rating.

Facing this child, Xu Mohuai felt a little short of words. The feeling of becoming a father for the first time was very subtle. He didn't know if others felt the same, but his joy was also accompanied by confusion and uneasiness. No one taught Su Yan how to be a mother, and no one taught Xu Mohuai how to be a father. He didn't even have a good role model. He always dealt with everyone with suspicion and defensiveness. Now that he has a child, of course he Don't treat him like anyone else.

Su Yan drank the soup, and her dry throat felt much better. She glanced behind Xu Mohuai, but her tone was still weak. "Where is the child?"

The wet nurse brought the child to Su Yan. It was a small ball wrapped in swaddling clothes. The head was no bigger than her hand and the facial features were wrinkled. No wonder Xu Mohuai couldn't boast.
