32 First Son Ping

Zhou Yi was going to promote Shangguan Yong for the sake of Grand Preceptor An or the crown prince behind him. Qiao Lin didn't ask directly. The current Grand Preceptor sounded renowned, but how could he compare to a dynasty's crown prince? Although General Zhou's words were inflamed, with a person in the imperial court, how could he not scheme for himself and his family?

The Northerners lived in the bitter cold of the land, and their thirst for it was far beyond the imagination of the people of Yeshi. The generals of Yeshi thought that the war would soon be over, but the war outside White Jade Mountain Pass lasted for more than a year, and there was still no hope of ending it.

An Jin in the spring of next year's May, after a hard night, gave birth to their Shangguan Yong's first child. When she held her clean son in her arms, all sorts of feelings welled up in her heart. Even if she wanted to cry, she couldn't.

At the side, Zi Yuan said happily, "Miss, the young master is like you."

Shangguan Ning also nodded and said: "Eldest Sister-in-law, nephew looks like you."

An Jinxiu lowered her head to look at her son. Her little face was still wrinkled, and her facial features had yet to grow. Where could one tell that she looked like her? However, thinking about it, her son in her previous life was indeed like her. After he grew up, with his good looks, he won the hearts of countless girls. When she held her newborn son, she couldn't help but think of her previous life. Finally, she began to weep again.

"In this life, mother will definitely view you as a treasure. In this life, mother will only live for you, your father and your future sister," An Jinxiu said to herself as she kissed her son's cheek.

"Eldest Sis don't cry." Shangguan Ning laid on the edge of the bed, her heart still throbbing with fear as she asked An Jin, "Is it still painful?" Last night, An Jin had already been enduring the pain, but Shangguan Ning was still frightened.

"It's fine now," An Jinxiu wiped her tears away and smiled at Shangguan Ning. "Women have to cry when giving birth to children."

Shangguan Ning suddenly said: "Then I won't have a baby anymore."

At this point, both Zi Yuan and An Jin laughed out loud. "Does Aunt like your nephew?" An Jinxiu asked Shangguan Ning.

Shangguan Ning immediately nodded and said: "I like it."

"Then if Miss Ning isn't born with a baby like Second Miss, how could Second Miss have a nephew?" Zi Yuan asked Shangguan Ning with a smile.

Shangguan Ning, who had already passed her seventh birthday, was distressed. The little kid was very cute, but she was afraid of pain.

"It's just a little bit of pain, isn't sister-in-law fine now?" An Jinxiu hugged her son down so Shangguan Ning could see. She said, "Aunt, don't be afraid."

Seeing her nephew, Shangguan Ning didn't care about whether the baby was in pain or not. The little girl only had this baby that heard her scream but didn't even open her eyes.

At this moment, Shangguan Rui's voice came from outside the door, "Eldest sister-in-law, are you alright?"

"I'm fine now." An Jinxiu quickly said, "Brother-in-law, you didn't go to the academy today?"

Shangguan Rui said: "I asked my classmates to asked for a leave of absence. Eldest Sister-in-law, I went to the Residence of Tranquil East Tribe to register our blessings."

"Thank you, Little Brother-in-law."

"Sister-in-law, can I see my nephew?" After Shangguan Rui heard An Jin's thanks, he just coughed and asked. Zi Yuan and Shangguan Ning had been dominating their little nephew, and he had been busy with the matter of the midwives and the festivities at the Residence of An. Even now, Shangguan Rui still hadn't been able to see his little nephew.

An Jinxiu handed her son to Zi Yuan and said, "Quickly take him to his uncle and let him take a look."

Zi Yuan replied, then carried the little gongzi and walked out.

Shangguan Ning also ran out, and before long, An Jinxiu heard her shout after following Shangguan Rui: "Second Brother is very clumsy, don't throw my little nephew away!"

"He's my nephew too, okay?" Shangguan Rui sounded helpless. It was his first time carrying such a small child, how could he not be nervous?

Shangguan Ning said: "I want to hug him too!"

Shangguan Rui quickly shook his head and said: "You're still too young, you can't carry him."

"No, just let me hug you." Shangguan Ning pulled Shangguan Rui's robe, looking like she was about to act like a rascal.

"Sis!" Just as the two siblings were arguing over their nephew, An Jinxiu heard An Yuanzhi's voice come from outside the door, "Sis, are you alright?" An Yuanzhi had yet to enter the courtyard, but his voice had already reached them.

"Yuan Zhi?" An Jinyi hurriedly replied.

An Yuanzhi rushed into the small courtyard of Shangguan family. When he saw the little doll in Shangguan Rui's arms, he couldn't move a step. He reached out to hug it, but didn't dare to. Elder sister, are you alright? " An Yuanzhi couldn't enter the room, so he could only stand outside the door and shout at her.

"I'm fine, where's Mom?" An Jin asked from within the room.

"Mother is overjoyed that you have given birth to a son," An Yuanzhi said. "She has made a lot of small clothes and wants me to bring them to you."

An Jin looked at her bedside. Ever since she found out that she was pregnant, her Mother had never stopped making clothes for her little grandson. At this moment, the small clothes on the bed were already piled up like a small mountain.

"Sis, my nephew looks just like you," An Yuanzhi said loudly from outside. "He's looking at me and smiling!"

An Jinxiu laughed, "He was just born. How can he look like anyone?"

An Yuanzhi didn't care about that. He laughed loudly and said, "That's great! I'm already an uncle now!"

"Yes," Shangguan Ning said, "I'm an aunt and Second Brother is an uncle!"

Only then did An Yuanzhi keep up with Shangguan Rui and Shangguan Ning, and asked An Jin: "Sis, what's the name of my little nephew?"

In her previous life, the eldest son of the Shangguan family had called Shangguan Ziping over. In this life, An Jinxiu said, "His uncle has read a lot. Why don't we just give him a name?"

Shangguan Rui said: "Let's wait for Big Bro to come back and take your big name."

An Yuanzhi said, "Then why don't you choose a nickname?"

Shangguan Rui shook his head and said to the room: "Sister-in-law should do the name selection."

An Jin was speechless for a long time. In her previous life, she had never cared about this son, nor did she know his nickname. Now that she had asked her to name him, her mind was completely blank. She could not remember any good name.

"Sis," An Yuanzhi said from the outside, "you've read quite a few books, can't you come up with a name?"

"I …" An Jin took the quilt with her fingers and paled. Even after her rebirth, she still felt that she wasn't worthy to be that child's mother.

"If you won't take it from me," An Yuanzhi said, "Just call it Ping which means peace. It's better for you that this little thing grew up safe and sound than anything else!"

Shangguan Rui smiled, "Ping? This little name is not bad. "

"Ping, Ping!" Shangguan Ning shouted as she hugged the little kid in Shangguan Rui's arms.

Xiao Ping suddenly opened his toothless mouth and laughed.

An Yuanzhi was even happier now. "Did you see that?" he asked. Ping An's smile must be because he likes the name "

Shangguan Ning complimented Yuan Zhi, "Brother Yuan Zhi, you're awesome. You're much stronger than Second Brother."

Laughter filled the courtyard once again.

As An Jin sat in her room listening to the laughter outside, her mood gradually recovered from her self-loathing. In this life, it was good that her relatives were fine. She didn't ask for anything else, but what did her past life have to do with her?

An Yuanzhi laughed in the yard for a while before bravely accepting his nephew from Shangguan Rui. The newborn baby was as light as a kitten, and An Yuanzhi didn't even dare to breathe.

This was the first time that Zi Yuan had seen the fearless appearance of the Fifth Young Master. It was quite funny, as she dutifully taught An Yuanzhi how to carry a child.

An Yuanzhi held onto his safety as he stood in front of An Jin's bedroom door. "Sis, when I go back, I'll tell mother that this little nephew of mine is like you. She'll be happy as well. In fact, "An Yuanzhi said in a low voice as he reached this point," I want Mother to see Xiao Ping. "

As a concubine, how could she leave the residence? Matriarch An also didn't allow An Jin to return to the manor to see her grandson. She didn't know if she would have the chance to do so in her entire life.

An Jin smiled from within the room. "As long as you, Yuan Zhi, can work hard, there will be a good day for us to wait for mother."

"Mm," An Yuanzhi replied in a low voice. He didn't mention anything about the others in the Residence of An. Besides him and his mother, no one else cared about them.

At this time, a shadow flashed outside the courtyard of Shangguan's residence.

Half an incense stick of time later, Eunuch Xie walked into the imperial study and reported, "Your Majesty, Lady An gave birth to a son last night."

Shizong looked up at Eunuch Xie.

The eunuch wore his usual respectful expression as he said, "Because this is the first child, it was somewhat dangerous for Madam An to give birth. Fortunately, mother and son were safe and sound. "Your Majesty, the fifth young master of the Residence of An has given the young master a nickname called 'Ping'."

"What's his name?" Shizong asked.

"They haven't created the official name yet, but from what the An clan girl and the Shangguan family's second young master are saying, they are going to wait until General Shangguan returns."

Emperor Shizong's expression turned cold.

"The scout said that this little gongzi looks like An Jin girl."

"Did someone from the Residence of An visited?" Shizong asked again.

Eunuch Xie knew that the crown prince wouldn't be asking about An Yuanzhi, so he replied, "The Residence of An hadn't sent anyone yet. The Grand Preceptor still hadn't returned when the second young master of the Shangguan family went to celebrate with the Residence of An."

Shi Zong coldly snorted.

"When the Shangguan Family has set up a full moon wine for our child, you can arrange for a gift to be sent over," Shizong ordered. "Tell them that it is my favor to Little Ping An."

"Your servant accepts the decree," Eunuch Xie said after receiving the decree. He then probingly asked the Shizong, "Your Majesty, Madam An has just finished producing, shouldn't we send some tonics to the imperial government?"

"Are you trying to ruin her reputation?"

Eunuch Xie was so scared that she lowered her head. "This servant is stupid, I deserve to die!"

"Go!" Shizong icily replied.

Gilly did not dare to say anything else. She held her breath and quickly retreated.

The Shizong pushed the imperial report in front of him and raised his head to look at the moon fragrance painting embroidered by An Jinxiu. He had been stunned for half his life and had countless beauties around him. He had never thought that he would have a day where he could not be alone. He had arranged for people to spy onAh Jin, which even the Emperor himself found laughable. However, he just wanted to know more about An Jin. If he didn't hear about it in a few days, the Emperor would feel that there was something missing.

"An Jinxiu' Emperor called out her name as he looked at the lotus under the moon. Perhaps he had gone crazy. How could a little married woman, who had given birth to a son, possibly be worthy of such thoughts?
