Polygonum and Polygonum belong to Curcuma, and Curcuma and Artemisia are bandits. I am sorry for my parents, who worked hard to give birth to me.

Yuan Ying was nine months pregnant. Due to the growth of the child in her belly and her worry and longing for Cao Ang, she looked extremely thin.

Coupled with this wave of frustration, worry and fatigue, the child was finally born a week early.

Seeing that the amniotic water had broken, Yuan Ying was calm enough, and while calmly arranging various production matters, she also took advantage of the break to have a meal.

Until she was pushed into the delivery room, she was completely awake and did not yell even though she was in pain.

However, the birth of this child was also very difficult. It stayed in the mother's belly for a whole day before it was born. At half past midnight on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, Yuan Ying finally gave birth to her and Cao Ang's first child, a daughter.

For the Cao family, this is a great joy, but it seems a bit regretful that it is not perfect enough. It might be better if it was a man.

However, when Yuan Ying looked at her daughter, her eyes were full of maternal love. She was not worried that Cao Ang would be unhappy because she was her daughter, because she gave birth to her daughter for Cao Ang.

If Yuan Ying has this self-confidence, her husband will love her as much as she loves her.

Cao Song was a little disappointed when he heard the news. He hoped that it was a man, so that he would die without regrets.

Cao Song sat in the main hall for a while. At this time, Cao He, the steward, came to ask if there were many people inside and outside the palace waiting for Shaojun's delivery. Although it was wartime, should he prepare some wedding gifts?

Cao Song didn't seem to hear and didn't say a word.

Cao He asked again, and then Cao Song said: "Well, why don't you go and tell the people outside, especially the guards on the city wall, and tell them that Mrs. Guangling Hou gave birth to a big fat boy. Each of them

The reward is five hundred dollars, two bolts of cloth, and five pounds of meat, and everyone enjoys it."

Cao He was stunned. The master of the house was stupid. He clearly gave birth to a young lady, so why did he become a young man?

So Cao He asked carefully: "Master, Shaojun gave birth to a little girl."

"Of course I know!"

Cao Song was impatient.

"Keep everyone's mouths under control. This matter must not be leaked out. Anyone who dares to talk too much will be beaten to death. Just tell the public that he is alive. Anyone who asks will say so."

Cao He felt a chill in his heart and had to respond quickly.

After Cao He left, Cao Song sat on the couch and sighed.

It's not that Cao Song wants the civet cat to exchange for the prince, but under the current situation, having a boy or girl seriously affects the morale of the defenders. Only by telling the defenders that he is a boy and rewarding him generously can they inspire their fighting spirit.

This is not Cao Song's unfounded worry. In this era of prophecy and taboo culture, the birth of a boy or girl can often be understood by everyone as whether there is destiny.

Cao Song had no choice but to pretend that the girl was a boy. As for the future, we will wait until this battle is over.

Soon, news spread throughout Caojiawu Fort that Mrs. Guangling Hou had given birth to a baby, and the young master of the Cao family was born. As Cao He handed out the reward, the entire Wubao reverberated with cheers and joyful sounds.

The morale of the defenders was greatly boosted for a while.

The deafening cheers reached Yuan Ying's ears.

Yuan Ying didn't know why at first, but her confidant Hua Xie secretly told her the news.

Yuan Ying was a little stunned at first, but soon understood Cao Song's intention. Although she was unhappy, she knew that this was the most correct choice.

When the crisis comes, everything must make way for this.

Yuan Ying looked at her soft and waxy daughter beside her, her face full of tenderness. Her husband was not by her side, and her daughter had been wronged since she was born. She missed her husband a little.

At this time, Cao Ling, Cao Xiu, and Cao Xi entered the room. Cao Xi was running at the front. He ran back and shouted: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I want to see my nephew!"

Before Yuan Ying gave birth, the three of them had been detained and could not come to see her. Now they saw an opportunity and immediately came to visit.

Cao Ling and Cao Xiu were still in the courtyard, and Cao Xi had already come to Yuan Ying's side.

"Sister-in-law, where is my little nephew!"

Looking at Cao Xi, Yuan Ying also smiled.

No wonder Cao Ang dotes on this sister so much, she also likes Cao Xi's innocence and innocence.

At this time, Cao Xi looked at the newborn and couldn't help but be amazed.

"Little nephew, I am your aunt!"

At this time, Cao Ling and Cao Xiu also came in. Although Cao Ling was married to Guo Jia, she still lived in the Cao family. As for Cao Xiu, she had become more and more silent in the past six months and hardly spoke on weekdays.

However, in the huge Cao family, except for Cao Xi, no one paid attention to the other girls. Therefore, except for Yuan Ying and others, almost no one noticed her changes.

The two of them were chatting with Yuan Ying, when Cao Xi suddenly said in surprise: "Ah, sister-in-law, this, this,..."

It turned out that Cao Xi had already discovered something was wrong.

Yuan Ying looked calm, stretched out her hand to cover the newborn's swaddling clothes, and then whispered: "Don't be surprised Xi'er, she is a girl."

Cao Ling and Cao Xiu were also greatly surprised.

"But my eldest father didn't say that he was a man."

"That's for outsiders to hear."

Yuan Ying said: "There are thousands of thieves outside the fort. In order to boost the morale of the soldiers, my eldest father lied and claimed that he was a man."

The three of them were all stunned when they heard this.

Yuan Ying took Cao Xi's hand and said: "The three of you will not only learn family ethics, but also learn the right and wrong of human relations, especially Xi'er. You will be the queen in the future. In the palace, these complicated and trivial matters are indispensable.

To be a virtuous queen, you must know how to deal with various situations."

Previously, Cao Xi was promised to Liu Xie. Except for the small-scale spread, most people didn't care. After all, a princess with no future in the princes and kings has no meaning except that her status is slightly more noble.

But now that Liu Xie has become the emperor, Cao Xi's status has also risen, and everyone knows that she will be the queen.

Even if Cao Cao rebelled in Chenliu, the Cao family was not too worried about it, because everyone knew that the reason why Cao Xi became the queen was not Cao Cao, but Cao Ang.

Cao Xi nodded as if he understood, but was still a little unhappy.

When you grow up, do things have to be so complicated?

The promised nephew turned into a niece. Although they liked it equally, they always felt unhappy because of this incident and left not long after.

When Yuan Ying looked at her daughter, she thought of her husband again.

I wonder when my husband will arrive?

Yuan Ying fell asleep in a daze at noon. In the evening, Huaxue suddenly brought news that the bandit army outside the city was retreating from the front yard.

Yuan Ying was stunned and immediately wanted to get up, but was stopped by Huaxue.

"Madam, you are still in confinement!"

Yuan Ying said nervously: "Huaxue, go see the head of the family and ask General Pang if this is a thief's plan to deceive the enemy?"

After Huaxue left, Yuan Ying was still thinking about the matter and was unsure. After all, the news of going to Tan County had not been sent out long ago, and Yuan Ying did not think that her husband would be able to arrive.

Not long after, Huaxue came back and reported: "Madam, madam, the news from General Pang is that the thieves have withdrawn! Our reinforcements have arrived!"
