My husband, who abandoned his father and kept his son, actually wants me to be his concubine.

Chapter 169 A Little Princess is Born as Wished By

Rong Yi listened to the sounds coming from the bedchamber and felt extremely anxious and uneasy.

Rong Yi looked at the approaching Xiao Zhang'er, hugged him in his arms and said, "Mother will definitely give birth to your little sister safely, won't she?"

Little Zhang tilted his head and said, "Mother, it hurts... Mother, cry..."

Rong Yi stroked Xiao Zhang'er's head. Whether this child was a boy or a girl, Rong Yi thought that he would never have any more children in the future. He couldn't bear this feeling of anxiety and worry.

She also did not want Lu Jinshi to suffer the pain of childbirth any longer.

Lu Jinshi inside cried out in pain, and Rong Yi outside couldn't resist going in again.

However, Empress Dowager Rong stopped her at the door, saying, "Miaomiao said you are not allowed to enter. What are you doing going in?"

Rong Yi said, "I...I'm really worried..."

As Rong Yi tried to force his way in, he heard the cry of a baby.

Then came the midwife's joyful voice, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations on the birth of your little princess!"

Lying on the bed, Lu Jinshi couldn't help but shed tears, "Let me see..."

Lu Jinshi watched as the midwife brought the chubby baby forward and said, "She's definitely fatter than Zhang'er..."

Lu Mingzhu, with tears streaming down her face, said, "It must weigh seven or eight pounds. You've really suffered."

Looking at Lu Mingzhu, Lu Jinshi couldn't help but shed tears, saying, "Mother..."

Lu Mingzhu stepped forward and took Lu Jinshi's hand, saying, "Rest well, don't cry."

"His Majesty."

Lu Jinshi heard the sounds of bowing outside, and then Rong Yi rushed in. He saw a basin of bloody water and frowned.

Rong Yi gripped Lu Jinshi's hand tightly and said, "Now that we have both a son and a daughter, we will never have any more children."

Lu Jinshi smiled and said, "Alright, meet our daughter, she's so beautiful."

After the midwife weighed the little princess, she smiled and said, "The little princess really does weigh seven and a half pounds, truly a precious daughter."

Rong Yi looked at his little daughter, who was already wrapped in swaddling clothes. Unlike when he was born, he didn't dare to hold her. Rong Yi carefully held his daughter and smiled at Lu Jinshi, saying, "Our daughter looks like you."

Lu Jinshi said, "Zhang'er looks like you and Mother, so my daughter should look like me too."

Rong Yi reached out and touched Lu Jinshi's hair, which was damp with sweat. "Get some sleep."

Lu Jinshi smiled and said, "I can't sleep. Our daughter is born. What name should we give her? What title should we give her?"

Before the child was born, the court was not stable. Rong Yi had just ascended the throne and had many things to do. Lu Jinshi was also busy and had not had time to think about what name to give the child.

Furthermore, when Lu Jinshi was pregnant, everyone said it was the little prince.

Lu Jinshi didn't want to waste his time coming up with a bunch of girls' names only to end up envious later.

Rong Yi smiled and said, "There's no rush to name her. You should rest well first. Once you have your daughter, you can take your time to name her."

Lu Jinshi, however, was wide awake; she just wanted to see her daughter as much as possible.

After cleaning the bedroom, Xiao Zhang'er came in.

Looking at Xiao Zhang'er, who was climbing onto the wooden bed with tears streaming down his face, Lu Jinshi felt a pang of heartache and said, "Zhang'er."

Fearing that Xiao Zhang'er might roll over onto the baby on the bed, Rong Yi held Zhang'er in his arms.

But Zhang'er kept struggling to break free.

Lu Jinshi then took Zhang'er into his arms and said, "Mother."

Lu Jinshi looked at the wet nurse and said, "Why is Zhang'er crying so hard?"

The wet nurse said, "Just now, when the young prince heard you crying, he also cried. He wanted to come and see you, but I was afraid that the room would smell of blood, so I dared not let him in."

Lu Jinshi patted Zhang'er's head and said, "Mother's pain is gone. Look, Zhang'er, this is your little sister." Zhang'er nestled in Lu Jinshi's arms and said, "No, I want Mother."

Lu Jinshi hugged Zhang'er tightly and smiled, "Mother's here, don't cry."

Zhang'er stayed in Lu Jinshi's arms for a while, and then became interested in his younger sister.

Little Zhang'er, who was almost two years old, didn't dare to touch such a small baby. He glanced at it with curiosity and then rushed into Lu Jinshi's arms.

Lu Jinshi smiled and said, "This is my younger sister, Zhang'er's dearest sister. Zhang'er must protect her well in the future."

"No! Protect Mother!"

Lu Jinshi said, "Then Zhang'er will protect Mother, and Mother will protect Sister, okay?"

Zhang'er nodded.

Lu Jinshi also had a younger brother. Knowing about her sister's birth, little Zhang'er must feel a little jealous.

So even though Lu Jinshi preferred her youngest daughter, she couldn't help but care more about her because her youngest daughter was already two years old and Zhang'er was still young.

Fortunately, Zhang'er is only jealous of her.

When Zhang'er came to the palace, the little princess let Rong Yi hold her.

Early summer is here.

That night, the croaking of frogs could already be heard.

Rong Yi handed the little princess next to Lu Jinshi to the wet nurse, and after the wet nurse took her away, he lay down next to Lu Jinshi and said, "I want to name my daughter Ning Le, meaning peace and joy."

Lu Jinshi said, "Peace and happiness are good, but our daughters should not seek peace and happiness."

Rong Yi asked, "Then what title do you want to give your daughter?"

Lu Jinshi said, "I haven't decided yet, so let's just call her by her nickname, Fatty, for now."

Rong Yi: "Who came up with this nickname? How can you call a little girl 'Fatty'?"

Lu Jinshi smiled and said, "Zhang'er gave my little sister this nickname. Zhang'er said she's chubby, so he calls her Little Fatty."

Rong Yi said, "You also dote on Zhang'er. Why not call Pangpang Panpan? She is the one we have been hoping for."

Lu Jinshi nodded. When she gave birth to Zhang'er, she didn't care whether it was a boy or a girl, since they were her children. But when she gave birth to her daughter, she had been looking forward to it for so long, and it was an unexpected joy when she was almost ready to accept that she had another son.

“Panpan sounds nice,” Lu Jinshi said. “As for the title and formal name, we’ll think about them slowly.”

Rong Yi said, "Okay."

As night fell, Lu Jinshi, while sleeping soundly, felt a sudden pressure on her waist.

Lu Jinshi slightly opened his eyes and saw Rong Yi in front of him as if he were having a nightmare.

"Rong Yi..."

"His Majesty……"

"Husband?"

Lu Jinshi softly called out "Husband," which startled Rong Yi awake from his nightmare. He kissed Lu Jinshi's red lips and didn't stop until a while later.

Lu Jinshi looked at Rong Yi, "What nightmare did you have?"

Rong Yi held Lu Jinshi's hand tightly and said, "I dreamt that you had a very difficult time giving birth to Panpan. It's enough for us to have just two children."

Lu Jinshi smiled and said, "Well, but if there are any in the future..."

Rong Yi said, "Ask Banxia if she has any contraceptive medicine that won't harm the body..."

Lu Jinshi said, "Every medicine has some toxicity, let alone a contraceptive, which will definitely harm the body."

Rong Yi said, "I'll take it. I'm two years younger than you. If I take the contraceptive, even if I lose two years of my lifespan, I can still grow old with you."
