Jin Wang had already arranged everything.

The imperial bodyguards hurriedly ran out to call for an imperial physician. Jin Wang helped Ye Shu to lie down.

The slight pain quickly turned into waves of intense pain. Ye Shu couldn't even speak as his forehead was covered in layers of cold sweat.

Footsteps could be heard outside the door as everyone hurriedly brought hot water and utensils into the room.

A slightly younger imperial physician came forward: "Your Majesty, you are the Emperor, it is not appropriate for you to stay in the delivery room …"

Before he could finish, Jin Wang interrupted him: "I will stay here to accompany him."

"But …"

Jin Wang's cold gaze swept over him: "Do you not understand?"

The imperial physician was so frightened by his glare that he broke out in a cold sweat. He shrank his head and left.

Imperial Physician Feng placed the medicine box beside the bed and shook his head.

He was still too young.

Ye Shu gradually got used to the pain. He hooked Jin Wang's finger and joked: "You are so fierce."

Jin Wang lowered his eyes, which were faintly red. He softly asked: "Then are you afraid of me?"

"I have not been afraid for a long time."

Ye Shu tilted his head to look at him. His voice was weak, but he was still in good spirits: "My Majesty is silly and not scary at all."

"En, don't be afraid."

Jin Wang held his hand in his, but did not dare to use any strength. It was as if he was afraid of hurting him: "I will stay here with you."

"… Okay."

Kun Jun's delivery was not difficult. Ye Shu's body was also well taken care of, so the entire process went very smoothly.

Before the sky was completely bright, the sound of a baby crying could be heard in the room.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations to Ye Xiang, it is a little prince!" Imperial Physician Feng said loudly.

The atmosphere around them was very warm. Waves of joy and congratulations rose and fell, but Jin Wang only gently wiped the sweat from Ye Shu's forehead. He did not even look away.

No matter how smooth the delivery was, Ye Shu could not avoid suffering a little.

He lay weakly on the bed. His face was pale. The little flesh that he had gained over the past few days seemed to have all fallen away overnight. He looked extremely haggard.

Jin Wang's heart ached terribly. He did not know how many times he regretted it this night.

… If he had known this would happen, he would not have let him keep the child.

Imperial Physician Feng understood these two people the best. He quickly dismissed the servants in the delivery room and had someone carry the child away.....

Ye Shu fell asleep when the child was born. Jin Wang asked Imperial Physician Feng many times and confirmed that Ye Shu was just too tired and sleepy, so she fell asleep. There was nothing serious.

Ye Shu slept very soundly. When she woke up, it was almost afternoon.

He opened his eyes and felt that he was lying in a warm embrace.

.............. is...... are....

Or do you want to sleep a little more? "

...........

. Jin Wang. He looked tired. It was obvious that he had not rested for a long time.

The last time he saw him like this was when Ye Shu left without saying goodbye and was mistakenly sent back to the palace as a beauty.

Ye Shu asked softly, "Are you tired …"

"I'm not tired." Jin Wang smiled and said, "Eat something before you sleep?"

Ye Shu replied, "Okay."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a soft sound from his stomach.

Jin Wang smiled and immediately ordered someone to bring food.

He took the bowl of porridge from a palace maid and personally fed it to Ye Shu.

The porridge was finely polished and some chicken soup was added to make it fragrant and delicious.

Ye Shu drank a mouthful and looked up at him, "You didn't make it."

It was so delicious. Just one taste and he knew it was made by the imperial chef.

"…" Jin Wang was silent for a moment, then said, "I wanted to make it."

"Imperial Physician Feng did not allow me to."

"He said that your body is still weak and told me not to keep tormenting you."

Jin Wang put down the bowl of porridge. He did not look too happy, "Is my culinary skills that bad?"

Ye Shu laughed, "Pfft."

Jin Wang gave him a sidelong glance.

Ye Shu quickly stopped laughing.

Jin Wang fed Ye Shu spoonful by spoonful of porridge. After he finished, he helped him wipe his lips and asked softly, "Do you still want to sleep?"

Ye Shu shook his head.

He had slept the whole day and was not sleepy at all.

Jin Wang said, "Then shall I hug you and lie down for a while?"

Ye Shu felt like he had forgotten something, but he could not recall it. He nodded, "Okay."

Jin Wang was just about to lie down on the bed when footsteps came from outside the hall. It was Head Chamberlain Gao Jin.

"Your Majesty …"

When Jin Wang saw him, he showed a hint of displeasure, "What is it now?"

"…" Gao Jin was silent for a moment.

His Majesty had ordered that other than the imperial physicians, no one was allowed to disturb Ye Xiang's rest.

If it was any other day, he would definitely not dare to disturb these two people, but …

Gao Jin braced himself and said, "The little prince has been crying non-stop since he woke up. His wet nurse said that he might be missing his father. Does Your Majesty want this servant to bring the little prince over?"

Jin Wang, "…"

Ye Shu, "…"

He finally remembered what he had forgotten.

He had not seen his own child yet!

There was probably no father in the world who was more clueless than the two of them. Jin Wang and Ye Shu looked at each other. Their expressions were blank for a moment.

However, Jin Wang was indeed the Emperor. He remained calm and indifferent as he nodded, "Bring the child over."

Not long after, the sound of a baby crying could be heard from outside the hall.

Jin Wang got up and looked over.

The little ball was wrapped in swaddling clothes and was still crying. No matter how he was coaxed, he would not stop crying.

Jin Wang took the child from his wet nurse's arms and awkwardly carried him over to Ye Shu.

Ye Shu saw his unfamiliar movements and mocked, "Clumsy."

Jin Wang did not mind and sat down by the bed, "The child looks like you."

The newborn child had not opened his eyes yet. His skin was a little red and wrinkled. He did not look very good.

Ye Shu did not comment on Jin Wang's words. He raised his hand and poked the child's soft face, saying with disdain, "Ugly."

Jin Wang, "… Cough."

The child, "Ying."

The little child frowned and looked like he was about to cry again. Jin Wang hurriedly said, "He's not ugly. Father was lying to you."

Ye Shu smiled and sat up, "I want to carry him."

Jin Wang placed the child in his arms.

The swaddling clothes were very small. Ye Shu could completely wrap one arm around him.

Ye Shu had never experienced something like this before. The soft and small child lay in his arms. As if sensing a familiar scent, he stopped crying and snuggled into his arms.

Ye Shu's movements stiffened. He did not even know where to put his hands.

This little life that he and Jin Wang had created was now lying in his arms.

It was real.

Ye Shu suddenly felt that the unreal feeling that had been lingering in his heart all this time seemed to have disappeared.

Ye Shu raised his head. Jin Wang also happened to be looking at him. There was something extremely soft in their eyes.

Ye Shu lowered his eyes and said softly, "He … he's so small."

"Yes." Jin Wang lowered his head and kissed his forehead, "A Shu, this is our child."

.

The next day, Jin Wang issued an imperial edict, announcing the existence of the little prince to the public.

Recently, the monarch had issued too many imperial edicts, and each time, it was earth-shattering news. This made the officials almost immune to it.

This time, they could not make a fuss like last time. Otherwise, they would appear too immature.

As everyone thought this, they picked up the imperial edict and began to read it. Then, they were so shocked by the news that several of them fell to the ground.

Wh-w-w-w-what —???!

Where did this prince come from?

Who gave birth to him?

Oh, the imperial edict said that it was Ye Xiang.

… Ye Xiang???

The last time Ye Xiang had appeared was after the court examinations. He and the monarch had announced the new top scorer.

At that time, Ye Xiang … was wearing a cloak from early spring. His body was completely covered. No one could see any clues, and no one would think that way.

Counting the days, Ye Xiang was probably five months pregnant at that time.

Calculating further back, didn't that mean that when Ye Xiang was pretending to be the imperial concubine, the two of them …

The expressions on the faces of all the officials instantly became very interesting.

So that imperial edict was not to confess to Ye Xiang, but to … show off in front of them?

His Majesty really knew how to play.

No matter what the outside world guessed, it did not affect the two people in the temporary imperial residence.

This was the first time the two fathers had raised a child, so they did not have any experience.

Fortunately, the palace had everything from wet nurses to clothing and food, so they did not need to worry about it.

Ye Shu's body recovered very quickly. Every day, he would stretch out his hand and open his mouth to eat. When he had nothing to do, he would play with the child. His days were very leisurely.

Jin Wang was not like this.

A few days after the child was born, there was news of victory from the frontlines.

West Xia finally could not withstand the attacks of the Changlu army. They opened their city gates and bowed to Changlu.

West Xia willingly ceded land and sent hostages with countless treasures and jade artifacts. They would soon set off for Changlu.

At this point, the war had finally come to an end.

With the previous backlog of work and the current post-war matters, Jin Wang was so busy that he almost could not breathe.

Ye Shu pointed at Jin Wang, who was sitting in front of the desk dealing with work, and said sincerely to the child, "Look, this is your future."

A newborn child looked different every day. The little child was a bit bigger than when he was born. He was pink and tender, and his eyes were big and bright. The more one looked at him, the more he resembled Jin Wang.

When Jin Wang heard Ye Shu's words, he looked up from the memorial and said, "What nonsense are you talking about now?"

"I'm not."

Ye Shu knelt on the bed and hugged the little child, who did not know how to crawl yet. The two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at Jin Wang with the same bright eyes.

"Am I wrong?" Ye Shu raised his eyebrows. "Or are you saying that you don't want our son to be the emperor?"

Jin Wang was speechless.

Ye Shu played with his child's small hands and deliberately sighed, "Poor Little Ye. You're clearly the eldest son, but Imperial Father doesn't want you to be the heir apparent. In the future, won't you have to fight for the throne with the Second Prince, Third Prince, and Fourth Prince? What will you do …"

Jin Wang: "…"

The child's official name could only be decided when he was one month old. Right now, he only had the name "Milk".

Ye Shu originally wanted to call him Little Wang, which would correspond to his Imperial Father, but Jin Wang firmly refused.

Jin Wang took a deep breath and said calmly, "The Second Prince, the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince … so Ye Xiang thinks that one is not enough?"

"…"

Jin Wang smiled at him and said warmly, "If you want more children, just say it. This prince will naturally accompany you."

Ye Shu angrily glared at him and grabbed the child's two lotus-like arms. The child cooperated and made a face at Jin Wang.

Jin Wang: "…"

What was this guy teaching the child all day???

The two of them began to giggle. Jin Wang also couldn't help but laugh.

These two had the same personality. It would be more accurate to say that they were copies of Ye Shu.

After Jin Wang finished dealing with the matters at hand, he looked up and saw that the father and son had already fallen asleep on the bed.

The two heads, one big and one small, were pressed together. It was quiet and cute.

Jin Wang walked over to the bed. The child suddenly opened his eyes and whimpered. He reached out his chubby little hand towards Jin Wang.

"Shh." Jin Wang reached out and let the child grab his finger.

The child laughed, but obediently stopped making any more noise.

Jin Wang lay down on the bed and pulled the child and his father into his arms.

Ye Shu was a light sleeper. He rubbed against Jin Wang's chest and asked, "… Have you finished dealing with your affairs?"

"En."

Ye Shu was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. He said softly, "You've worked hard."

Jin Wang kissed his face. "Sleep a little longer."

Ye Shu grunted and didn't say anything else.

The afternoon sun was bright but not strong. Jin Wang kissed the foreheads of the two in his arms. He closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
