The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 120 5 Young Master

Although the original owner and Fang Huaian had mutual affection for each other, they did not do anything inappropriate.

Even the handkerchief she gave as a gift was not embroidered by herself (the original owner’s craftsmanship was too poor and she was embarrassed to give it to her lover).

There were only a few letters asking for advice on poetry and prose, and there was nothing inappropriate in the letters.

It is the purest love between boys and girls.

The Xie and Fang families have been neighbors for decades.

As long as Xie Run insisted that she went to Fang Huaian for advice because she didn't understand poetry when she was young, would King Jing send someone to travel thousands of miles to find her handwriting when she was a few years old for comparison?

Xie Run was very glad that the original owner's handwriting was always ugly.

There was a commotion in the delivery room, and someone had already gone outside to announce the good news to the princess.

"Replying to the princess, Concubine Xie gave birth to a son, weighing 7.3 jins, and he is very healthy!"

The princess finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, a healthy baby was born in this mansion!

She heard the child crying in the main hall. The sound was very strong and it sounded healthy.

Before King Jing returned, the princess waved her hand and said, "Rewards! Everyone in Chunshan Courtyard will be rewarded!"

"We, the servants, bow to thank the princess for the reward!"

For a moment, everyone in Chunshanyuan was filled with joy.

The princess also went to see the child and was very happy to see that the child was in good health.

I thought to myself that Concubine Xie was lucky.

Four children were born in the family recently, and only hers was born healthy.

With this ability, it's right for King Jing to favor her.

Can't I get a reward?!

King Jing returned from the palace at 11:00 a.m., when it was already dark.

On the way, I heard that Xie Run had given birth to a healthy boy, and I could not suppress the joy on my face.

He didn't go to the princess's Qingsongyuan, but came directly to Chunshanyuan.

As soon as he entered Chunshan Courtyard, the maids came to congratulate him happily.

"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness!"

Eunuch Shi'an followed behind, also grinning from ear to ear, and acted as King Jing's mouthpiece: "I heard that our fifth young master cried loudly, and he is very healthy?"

"That's right! The servants heard the Fifth Young Master crying outside the second gate."

"I heard from the midwife that the baby's arms and hands were so strong that two mothers had to come together to bathe him."

King Jing was overjoyed, his steps swift as the wind, and he said to Shi'an, "Those who reply will be rewarded!"

Those who received the reward were delighted, while those who didn’t blame themselves for being tongue-tied and not knowing how to seize the opportunity.

Xie Run had changed his clothes and was wearing a pale peach headband on his forehead. He was lying on the bed watching the child.

Newborn babies are small and wrinkled, which is actually not very good-looking.

But when Xie Run looked at the child, he felt warm in his heart.

I didn't feel tired at all.

Hearing the dull sound of footsteps outside the bedroom, Xie Run guessed that King Jing had arrived.

Sure enough, I heard the voices of several maids bowing and greeting.

After a while, King Jing was seen striding towards him, with a look of joy on his tough face.

"Your Highness?" Xie Run pretended to be surprised, his eyes instantly turning red.

She asked softly, "You're finally here."

Xie Run, who had just given birth, did not look disheveled. Her features were still delicate and charming, only with a pale and weak look.

Her eyes turned red, like Xi Shi holding her heart, which made her even more lovable.

No matter how cold and hard King Jing's heart was, it softened at this moment.

"Your contribution to childbearing is remembered by the king."

"Take good care of yourself, and you will benefit from it in the future."

Although King Jing did not promise Xie Run anything, Xie Run was very satisfied.

At least, King Jing was willing to say this to her.

Xie Run pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Then I must remember this well. When I have the chance in the future, I will ask the prince for a reward."

"Then you must remember this. If you forget, I will not remind you."

Xie Runxiao's eyes and brows became more gentle.

While King Jing was speaking, he did not come closer. He just stood by the fire cage, warming himself by the fire to dispel the coldness in his body.

Occasionally, he would secretly glance at the little man beside Xie Run.

He sat down beside the bed only after he was sure the coldness had dissipated.

"Just now on the road, I have been thinking about naming the child, and I have thought of many good names in my mind."

"Now that I've actually seen you and your son, I can't think of anything for a moment."

Xie Run smiled and said, "If Your Highness can't think of it right away, then just think about it slowly. There's no rush anyway."

"His two older brothers don't have names yet, so it's not a good idea to just skip over them and give them a name."

King Jing frowned, "You are just too well-behaved."

Xie Run smiled and said nothing.

If she really behaves unruly, she will become the next Concubine Ning, or the next Jiang Baobao.

Although King Jing was a little aloof, he was also a man who could listen to advice.

He didn't bother with the name anymore, but took out a small and exquisite longevity lock.

He glanced at Xie Run and said, "The other two are ready too."

Xie Run: “…”

She couldn't help but burst out laughing, "The prince actually still remembers the grudge."

As a result, he laughed so hard that he hurt himself.

King Jing was also shocked and hurried to call for help.

Xie Run quickly stopped him, "I'm fine, just stop making me laugh."

King Jing said seriously, "When did I ever make you laugh?"

"Your Highness didn't do that. It's all my fault for loving to laugh. It's all my fault." Xie Run sighed and shook his head, looking at King Jing helplessly.

King Jing's tone softened, and he said calmly, "Laughing is a good thing. I just hope our child will also be one who loves to laugh in the future."

As he spoke, King Jing felt a bit heavy. "I still have two of these longevity locks, but I dare not take them out, for fear of crushing their souls."

There is a saying that if a child is too weak, his soul will be crushed by the longevity lock.

Only healthy children will wear a longevity lock at birth.

After all, King Jing was still worried that the two children would not grow up.

Xie Run said softly, "Although I haven't visited the young masters and princesses this month, I know they are growing up."

"As long as a child can eat and sleep, that's a good thing."

King Jing was not comforted and still frowned.

"Duanjing and Zhuangzhuang are fine, only the fourth one..."

When King Jing thought of the sickly appearance of the Fourth Young Master, the shivering appearance of Concubine An came to his mind.

Although he did not favor Concubine An, he had the princess take care of her since she became pregnant.

She also knocked on various places from time to time to make sure that nothing was missing from her yard.

King Jing believed that he had never treated her unfairly.

Who knew she couldn't stand like this!

Others longed for children but couldn't, but she finally gave birth to two, but couldn't raise either of them!

Unfortunately, there is no one else in his house who can raise a child.

The princess has already raised Duan Jing, and the other concubines are either pregnant or have just given birth.

He couldn't bring himself to give Concubine An's child to other concubines to raise.

There is no such argument.

Besides, between Concubine Lu and Concubine Wan, who is worthy of raising his child?
