Xianyang, the capital of Qin, is the eldest princess's mansion.
The servants and maids in the mansion all looked nervous and looked towards a luxurious house.
There, lies their future.
In an era of backward medical conditions, every childbirth for a woman carries great risks.
Especially for first-time mothers, the mortality rate when encountering dystocia is very high, which makes people always on guard.
"The emperor sent the imperial physician from the palace to deliver the baby. The eldest princess must be fine!"
"Haotian bless, mother and son are safe!"
In pairs of expectant eyes and countless whispered prayers.
A loud baby cry broke the extremely depressing atmosphere.
After a while, a cheerful voice sounded.
"It's a boy!"
"Mother and child are safe!"
"Haotian bless you!"
Cheers resounded throughout the eldest princess's residence.
The eldest princess gave birth safely, which means that the countless servants and maids in the mansion can continue to stay here safely.
The birth of a boy represents hope.
"Adult concubine, you have a son!"
…
In the eldest son's residence on the other side of Xianyang.
Fusu paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, his face full of worry.
Naturally, he was extremely worried when his biological sister, who had the same mother and whom he had grown up with, gave birth.
Due to the rules at this time, Fusu could not go to the princess's mansion to wait, and could only pace around in his own mansion to relieve the anxiety in his heart.
"My dear, don't worry, the eldest princess will be fine. I heard from my mother that it is much easier for older women to give birth than when they first had hair extensions."
Li Shu comforted Fusu softly and relieved Fusu's worries.
After hearing these well-founded words, Fusu nodded and his frown relaxed slightly.
Compared with this era, women gave birth at the age of fifteen or sixteen, or even at the age of thirteen or fourteen.
Ying Yinman, who gave birth to a child at the age of nineteen, is obviously older, so her safety level is naturally greatly increased.
Fusu whispered: "I hope so, Haotian bless you."
After a while, Fusu's confidant strode in from the door and said happily: "Sir, the eldest princess's palace has sent someone to report that the mother and child are safe. He is a boy, weighing twelve catties and twelve taels (Qin catties)!"
Hearing this, Fusu was startled, then laughed.
"Hahaha, what a fat boy!"
Fusu paced back and forth excitedly. His sister gave birth safely to a boy. He was naturally very happy, but due to the rules of this era, he could not visit her yet.
To celebrate this happy event, he turned to look at his wife beside him.
"Ah Shu, send someone to invite your brother Zhong to come and play cards today!"
…
The towering Qin Palace, the Emperor's Hall.
"Twelve pounds and twelve taels."
"This number is worthy of the number six in our Qin country. It should be born in our great Qin."
The First Emperor sat in front of the case, staring at a piece of white paper spread out in front of him, with a look of thought in his eyes.
According to ancient rituals: when a child is born in the third month, his father will give him his name.
Generally, a child is named by his father in the third month after birth.
But before that, Ying Yinman and Fusu had entered the palace to participate in a family banquet.
At that time, Ying Yinman, who was pregnant with her belly, once asked the First Emperor like a baby to name her child in the future, saying that this was also Zhao Tuo's request.
Zhao Tuo led his troops to conquer the Yueshi. Judging from the time, it was definitely too late to come back and name the child.
This is an important etiquette. Although they can write letters to name their children from hundreds of thousands of miles away, it is not perfect after all, so they boldly asked the emperor to name their children.
The emperor is the king's father and the lord of the world. He can name everyone, let alone his own nephew (grandson).
The First Emperor agreed at that time.
Now that Ying Yinman has given birth to a boy, he will naturally put this matter on his agenda as soon as he is free.
"This is Zhao Tuo's child."
The First Emperor closed his eyes, and the young man's appearance appeared in his mind.
When they first met, Zhao Tuo was still a fifteen-year-old boy, but now he is also a father.
Thinking of the past, the First Emperor remembered Zhao Tuo's words that touched his heart the most.
Except in the Qin palace, Zhao Tuo angrily criticized Jing Ke and said "the world".
The most unforgettable thing for the First Emperor was when Zhao Tuo asked him to give up the safe path of school and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy with meritorious services.
Faced with the First Emperor's doubts, Zhao Tuo raised his head and said: "A real man lives in this world, and when he is alive, he will be a feudal prince, and when he dies, he will be the food of the temple!"
"The ambition to become a prince is suddenly revealed!"
The First Emperor liked young people who were pursuing and ambitious. The reason why he always believed in Zhao Tuo was inseparable from Zhao Tuo's own lofty ideals.
"Zhao Tuo wants to rush from a first-level public servant to a twentieth-level prince, and achieve military merit. This is a great ambition."
"Those who are princes are the princes of Che in the past."
"Those who penetrate through are thorough."
"I hope you can be like your father and be ambitious in your life, instead of being mediocre."
The First Emperor murmured to himself, took up his pen and moistened his ink, and wrote the child's name on the paper in front of the case.
thorough!
…
"Are you giving birth?"
"She must have given birth, right?"
"I hope Manman is safe and everything goes well."
"Don't know if it's a boy or a girl?"
Beidi County, in the military camp outside Yiqu City.
Zhao Tuo was uneasy. Although he was a second-generation man, he was a father for the first time. He was about to have a child of his own. How could he not be excited.
What's more important is that Zhao Tuo is hundreds of miles away from Xianyang at the moment and can't stay by his wife's side. He is worried about his wife's safety and thinks about the child who doesn't know whether it is a boy or a girl. Naturally, Zhao Tuo feels seven in his heart. Up eight and down.
Fortunately, the Qin army has not yet left the fortress. The two hundred thousand soldiers gathered here are still training, rehearsing their formations, and cooperating with each other. Specific military affairs are also handled by generals and officers at all levels, so that Zhao Tuo will not go too far. worry.
But if the news from Xianyang never came, even if Zhao Tuo led his army out of the fortress, this matter would always be on his mind and make him worried.
Fortunately, after looking around, the messenger from Xianyang came to the military camp.
"Mother and child are safe, okay!"
"Twelve pounds and twelve taels, what a boy who weighs twelve pounds!"
Zhao Tuo smiled so hard that he quickly wrote a consolation letter to his wife on paper, expressing his love and gratitude.
"Congratulations to the General on your new achievement!"
"The General is a hero in the world, and this young gentleman should follow the General's ambition in the future and become the pillar of the Qin Dynasty!"
Zhao Tuo's subordinates and staff all came to congratulate him after hearing the news.
Some people even suggested that the soldiers should have a feast to celebrate the general's birth of a son.
Zhao Tuo accepted everyone's congratulations, but refused all kinds of celebrations.
Now that the war is coming, he doesn't want to disrupt the army just because he gave birth to a son, let alone use the army to celebrate private events, which is a taboo.
However, after receiving this happy news, Zhao Tuo finally let go of all his worries and could focus all his thoughts on the upcoming war.
Nothing else could affect Zhao Tuo's performance.
"Mr. Li, are you sure that Wushiluo's people have left the border?"
"The news that was released yesterday should be sent to the hands of Yuezhi Xihou."
Zhao Tuo smiled faintly.
Although he had sealed off the Great Wall Fortress before, it was actually just a show. The Wushiluo people, under the pretext of investigating the Yuezhi intelligence for the Qin army, could still enter and exit the Great Wall and pass on the news inside the fortress.
"Very good, start closing down the Internet cafes and control all the Wushi people in the fortress, as well as the merchants who previously smuggled copper and iron to the Yuezhi."
"Have someone invite Wushi Luo over."
"Let him be our guide for the Qin army to enter the grassland!"
