This time before Hu Baolin finished speaking, Xu Cairen looked over with cold eyes: "Sister Hu needs to be careful in her words and deeds, so as not to harm others or herself!"
Hu Baolin was stung by Xu Cairen's cold eyes and his palms became cold.
It took her a while before she said: "What Sister Xu said is that I lost my temper."
Wu Baolin and Li Yunv stood together and looked at each other.
"What do you think of Sister Wu?" Li Yunu took the lead in breaking the silence.
Wu Baolin thought carefully before replying: "If nothing unexpected happens, Sister Qin will give birth to a little prince."
Li Yunu couldn't hide her surprise when she heard this: "Why is Sister Wu so sure?"
"Sister Yi Qin's temperament, if she were a princess, would have been announced a long time ago. But now that it has not been announced, it is being kept secret, just to test everyone's reaction." Wu Baolin expressed his opinion.
Li Yunv felt that Wu Baolin's reason was a bit far-fetched, but she did not continue to discuss this issue.
As for whether the child is a prince or a princess, perhaps only the upper and lower levels of Jinyang Palace know, and outsiders cannot influence the determined outcome.
In Jinyang Palace, the Queen Mother, Queen Mother Guo and Wu Xirou were all waiting for news. Unexpectedly, after hearing the loud cry of a baby coming from inside, nothing more happened.
Just when Zhang Jixiang came out, Queen Mother Guo stopped him and asked: "Is he the prince?!"
"This... let the Emperor tell the Queen Mother, I don't dare to say anything." Zhang Jixiang said.
"What's the point of this?! Is there any reason to conceal the gender of an emperor's heir? Is this what Qin Zhao meant?" The Queen Mother Guo's voice became louder as soon as she mentioned Qin Zhao's name.
She had always felt that Qin Zhao was a woman who particularly liked to complicate simple things. She was certain that Qin Zhao was playing tricks on her again.
Qin Zhao, who had already returned to the dormitory, wanted to roll his eyes when he heard Queen Mother Guo say.
What did she mean by this? Xiao Ce was clearly trying to whet everyone's appetite.
She looked at the little baby beside her, who was pink, tender and pretty. The little guy was looking at her with wide eyes.
"The child looks like the emperor." As soon as Qin Zhao opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was a little hoarse.
As she expected, she gave birth to a beautiful son. His facial features looked like Xiao Ce's, so she wondered if he would look more like Xiao Ce when he grew older.
But she didn't understand why Xiao Ce didn't announce the child's gender in time.
It's no secret that she likes to tell people off, but she didn't expect that Xiao Ce would also tell people off.
Xiao Ce was looking at the child. Because it was a small, wrinkled meat dumpling, he couldn't tell whether it looked good or not, and naturally he couldn't tell whether it looked like him.
"This kid is not very good-looking." After Xiao Ce finished speaking, Qin Zhao glared at him coldly.
He had to change his mind: "What I meant was that we won't know whether it looks good or not until the child is older."
Qin Zhao sneered back at him: "Anyway, the child looks like the emperor. If the child is not good-looking, it only proves that the emperor is not good-looking either."
Anyway, in her heart, her child is the most beautiful.
Xiao Ce felt that this was a dangerous topic, so he changed the focus at the right time: "You have just given birth to a baby, so go to sleep for a while."
How could anyone be as energetic as her, who would have the energy to argue with him about whether the child is good-looking just after giving birth?
Qin Zhao had no objection. Before going to bed, she asked: "Why doesn't the emperor announce the gender of the child to the outside world?"
After all, this is Xiao Ce's first child, and Tong's history also needs to record it, so it is impossible to hide this matter.
"You should rest first." Xiao Ce ended the topic.
Qin Zhao was indeed tired. She kissed her child on the face and then fell asleep.
Zhang Jixiang actually couldn't understand why Xiao Ce was not eager to announce the gender of the child. After Qin Zhao fell asleep, he boldly asked: "Just now, the Queen Mother asked why the gender of the little highness should be concealed."
Xiao Ce signaled Zhang Jixiang to come out of the dormitory to talk.
At this time, the Queen Mother Guo and the Queen Mother came. As soon as they saw Xiao Ce, they came forward and asked in unison: "Are you a princess or a prince?"
"I will send the Queen Mother back to rest first." Xiao Ce said, stepping forward to help the Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Guo was ignored by Xiao Ce.
Queen Mother Guo was furious when she saw this scene. She chased after her and shouted: "Emperor, the emperor's heir is related to the destiny of the country, and the gender of the child cannot be confused..."
"Nianyun, send the Queen Mother back to Cihe Palace to recuperate!" Xiao Ce interrupted Queen Mother Guo's chatter.
Nianyun had no choice but to say to Empress Dowager Guo: "Empress Dowager, please return to Cihe Palace first. Your Highness's gender will be known soon. There is no rush."
Since it is the Emperor's wish, then just follow the Emperor's will.
At this time, Xiao Ce had helped the Empress Dowager get on the chariot, and took the initiative to say to the Empress Dowager: "Grandma, Zhaozhao has given birth to a prince."
The Queen Mother cried with joy when she heard this, and grabbed Xiao Ce's wrist with all her strength: "Girl Zhao, please give her a good reward."
"I hope she will take a good rest for two days and not be disturbed by other people, so that she will not rush to announce the gender of the child. You have also seen the attitude of the mother just now. There are many disputes in the harem, and Zhao Zhao has experienced a lot of frame-ups before. She just gave birth today.
My child's vitality is severely damaged and he needs to rest for a few days." Xiao Ce added.
This was to give Qin Zhao some space to rest, and to see who was eager to know whether Qin Zhao gave birth to a princess or a prince. He did not let anyone announce the gender of the child. He just wanted to see the reaction of everyone in the harem.
Qin Zhao had been framed several times before but the real culprit had not yet been found. After knowing that the child was born, the person must be eager to know the gender of the child, and perhaps this would expose the child.
"A Ce, please stay with Zhao Yatou these days. She is a meritorious minister." The Queen Mother's excitement gradually calmed down: "The Ai family has not seen what the child looks like. It is a pity."
Only then did Xiao Ce realize that he had missed out on this important matter. His attention had previously been on Qin Zhao.
He couldn't help laughing: "It's my grandson's negligence. Grandma Emperor will come over to check on me in two days. The child is very healthy."
The Queen Mother was overjoyed.
Xiao Ce's words were enough and she was satisfied. Qin Zhao was also very successful and gave birth to a prince. This was Da Qi's blessing.
After seeing off the Empress Dowager, Xiao Ce returned to Jinyang Palace to stay with Qin Zhao.
The child lay quietly next to Qin Zhao. At first he babbled in search of food, but later he leaned against Qin Zhao without crying.
"Shouldn't you cry when you're hungry?" Xiao Ce had read many books about raising children before, and felt strange when he saw this scene.
Luo Qing was also surprised when he saw this scene: "Your Highness is indeed very quiet."
Except for crying loudly when he was just born, he never cried again and the baby didn't sleep.
"Go and feel the child's pulse." Xiao Ce said to Luo Qing worriedly.
Luo Qing stepped forward to take the child's pulse, and carefully examined the child's whole body. He felt that the child was very healthy.
"You will have no problem with your Majesty," Luo Qing replied without any confidence.
She had seen many newborns, but none of them were as strange as the little prince. But she had checked the child and found no problem.
