Yao Shi gave birth to a daughter.

Upon hearing this news, Ye Yun nearly laughed out loud for a moment.

Yao Shi, such an ambitious and strong-willed person, actually gave birth to a daughter.

She speculated that Yao Xiang must be very unwilling to accept this fact.

It truly was unfortunate for the Third Princess, as she was not born to her mother's expectations; would she, therefore, be unloved?

But these concerns were not for her to worry about; what she needed to focus on was that her son seemed to be pouting, as if he was about to cry.

"Your Majesty, Xiuyi, the little prince is hungry. The wet nurse is already waiting. I'll take the little prince to nurse now," Liang Momo said.

Ye Yun nodded and kissed her son before letting him be carried away.

"Do you want to sleep for a while?" Ning Chen asked.

He was just waiting, feeling very tired; it wasn't easy for Ye Yun either, after all.

However, Ye Yun shook her head. "I don't want to stay in the delivery room; it smells so bad here. I want to go back to the main room."

Although she had been frightened by the snake yesterday, she still felt more accustomed to the main room.

Ning Chen frowned. "You shouldn't be exposed to the wind during your confinement; it's still drizzling outside..."

"But it's so uncomfortable to stay here..." Ye Yun looked at him with pitiful eyes.

He couldn't withstand her acting spoiled; after hesitating for a while, he finally agreed.

He had someone tidy up the main room first, then dressed Ye Yun warmly, covering her from head to toe with a cloak. With the servants holding umbrellas, Ning Chen carried her back to the main room.

To prevent Ye Yun from recalling yesterday's events and becoming frightened, the servants had already replaced everything in the room.

Including the bedding, everything was newly prepared.

However, Ye Yun's little heart was not that fragile, and she wouldn't be frightened to such an extent.

But once she arrived at the familiar place, she truly felt sleepy.

She had only lying down for a short while and was still talking to Ning Chen when she gradually fell asleep.

Hearing her breathing become even, Ning Chen raised his hand to rub his forehead, revealing the fatigue he had hidden for a long time.

He didn't leave but instead took a blanket and slept for an hour on the small couch in the outer room.

However, he got up after just one hour.

With the front lines of the war in a stalemate, he couldn't sleep soundly and needed to return to Jiuchen Palace to discuss matters with the officials.

Before leaving, Ning Chen decided to reward everyone in Zhao Chun Pavilion with twenty taels of silver each. Shen Pingzhi received ten taels of gold, and the midwives from the Ye family who assisted with the delivery each received five taels of gold.

Ning Chen's mind was occupied with Ye Yun, so he didn't think of Yao Xiang and naturally didn't give any rewards.

In no time, the atmosphere in the palace began to shift.

With both children born at the same time, the Emperor's actions clearly indicated he favored the Fourth Prince more.
