Chang Ning's face was as pale as a piece of white paper due to the exhaustion.
But in the face of Chen Kan's inquiry, he still forced a smile and said weakly: "I...I'm okay, our child?"
"The baby is safe, safe."
Chen Kan grabbed Chang Ning's hand and said softly: "Madam, thank you for your hard work..."
Mrs. Wen cleaned the child and handed it to Chen Kan. She congratulated, "Congratulations to the Marquis on your daughter's daughter, which is a full seven pounds and six taels."
Chen Kan reached out and took the child and handed it to Chang Ning to take a look at him. Just as he was about to say something, Po Wen made a sound and chased him away.
"Master Marquis, the delivery room is an unclean place. Your Highness the Princess has just given birth and needs to rest."
Seeing that the maid was already waiting with eggs in sugar water, Chen Kan had no choice but to walk out of the room with a small meat dumpling in his arms.
Chen Kan lowered his head and looked at the little meat dumpling that could barely feel its weight in his arms.
A strange feeling emerged in my heart.
It was a feeling of blood connection.
As Chen Kan's footsteps undulated slightly, Xiaorouduanzi immediately stopped crying.
Seeing Chen Kan walking out with the child in his arms, a group of servants headed by Yuncheng immediately rushed over.
"Master Marquis, congratulations to the Marquis on the daughter of a daughter, congratulations to the Marquis..."
The sound of congratulations was heard endlessly, and Chen Kan hurriedly made a gesture of silence.
After half a stick of incense, the two stable ladies finished taking care of the mess in the delivery room, walked out of the room and congratulated Chen Kan: "Congratulations, Lord Marquis, on your daughter's fortune."
"Her Royal Highness Princess?"
Chen Kan looked at the two Wen Pos somewhat worriedly and asked.
The two Wen Pos looked at each other and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you are fine. You are just too tired now. You just need to rest for a while."
"That's good, that's good!"
Chen Kan finally relaxed a little, then looked at Yun Cheng and said: "Reward, I am very happy to get a thousand pieces of gold today, and all the servants in the house will reward you with ten pieces of gold."
When Yuncheng and the servants heard this, they immediately started to smile.
Chen Kan didn't say much. Everything in the house was left to Yuncheng to take care of.
Chen Kan walked into the delivery room gently holding the baby in his arms.
It was snowing heavily outside, and he was afraid of freezing the child.
Chang Ning fell asleep, and the maids were tidying up everything in the room in an orderly manner.
Chen Kan sat quietly next to Chang Ning, not daring to move.
This was the first time in his two lives that he became a father. The little meat dumpling in his arms seemed to weigh nothing, but also seemed to weigh more than a thousand catties.
The nanny hired by the house stood behind Chen Kan and hesitated to speak, but the child did not cry. She was really confused whether to breastfeed or not.
"Wow~"
The next second, a powerful cry came from Chen Kan's arms.
The noise was so loud that Chang Ning, who had just fallen asleep, subconsciously opened his eyes.
Chen Kan stood up, feeling stiff and helpless.
"Master Hou, the child is hungry."
The nanny behind him spoke up at the right time, reaching out her hand to take the small meat dumpling in Chen Kan's hand.
"I, let me do it!"
Chang Ning's weak voice came, and Chen Kan quickly came to his senses.
He hurriedly handed the small meat dumpling in his hand to the nanny, and comforted Chang Ning softly: "It's okay, there is a nanny here. Madam, sleep peacefully. My husband and the child are here to stay with you."
"No, I'll do the first mouthful of milk!"
Chang Ning's voice was weak but firm.
The nanny was about to hold the baby and walk aside to feed him. After hearing this, she could only look at Chen Kan in embarrassment.
Chen Kan frowned slightly, but finally chose to compromise and go out to avoid it.
Standing at the door of the delivery room, Chen Kan felt strange in his heart when he saw that Yuncheng had already led his servants to dress up the Hou Mansion.
There is heartache for Chang Ning, but also joy for the birth of this child.
After standing for a while, listening to the crying of the child in the delivery room gradually subsided, Chen Kancai walked into the room again.
Seeing that the child was already sleeping next to Chang Ning, Chen Kan took Chang Ning's hand and murmured in a low voice: "Madam, we have a child, this is our child."
Chang Ning smiled weakly. She had no strength to talk to Chen Kan now.
She just listened quietly to Chen Kan whispering in her ear.
After a while, Chang Ning also closed his eyes.
The two maids who stayed in the room to take care of Chang Ning came forward and reminded them softly: "Master Marquis, Her Royal Highness is asleep. You'd better stay away for now."
Chen Kan nodded slightly and walked out of the room reluctantly.
He also knew that what Chang Ninghe needed most now was rest, but he really couldn't bear to part with it.
"Bang~"
The door was gently closed by two maids. Chen Kan thought for a while and walked towards the front hall.
The child and Chang Ning wouldn't wake up for a while, so he took advantage of this little time to arrange something.
When passing by the atrium, Chen Kan called over to Yuncheng who was busy.
The master and the servant came to sit down in the living room. Chen Kan pondered for a moment and said calmly: "The birth of the child of this prince and the princess should be reported to your majesty. Send someone smarter to Nanjing."
Just as Yun Cheng was about to nod, Chen Kan continued: "In addition, each house should also take care of it. Let's tell the Marquis Mansion how happy it is to have tiles installed. In half a month, a full moon banquet will be held at the Hou Mansion to inform Jinghai Hou Mansion. The eldest daughter is born.”
As soon as these words came out, Yuncheng was stunned.
He asked with some uncertainty: "Master Hou, are you sure it's the Full Moon Banquet and not the Hundred Days Banquet?"
Chen Kan nodded: "Yes, let's do it. The eldest daughter of this prince and the princess is born, and she is worthy of any occasion."
Yuncheng wanted to defend himself, but considering the Marquis's insistence on speaking his mind, he still accepted the order and left.
No wonder Yuncheng had doubts. The rule of the Ming Dynasty is that when the eldest son is born, a full-moon banquet is held, and when the eldest daughter is born, a hundred-day banquet is held.
Of course, these rules are not rules in front of Chen Kan.
Whether it's a boy or a girl, they are all the same in Chen Kan's eyes.
They were babies that cost Chang Ning half of his life. No matter how much he loved them, they were all deserved.
What's more, when did Chen Kan talk about the rules when doing things?
...
Three days passed by in a flash, and the news of the birth of Chen Kan's eldest daughter spread quickly in Beijing as if it had wings.
When people who were close friends with Chen Kan heard that Chen Kan was planning to hold a full-moon banquet for his newly born eldest daughter, they all happily started preparing gifts.
Everyone in the Ming Dynasty had already learned a lesson about Chen Kan's failure to follow the routine.
What's more, Chen Kanhe's daughter was destined to be the most noble person in the world when she was born, and she was destined to be extraordinary throughout her life.
The Jinghai Hou Mansion also became busy quickly. Every day, large numbers of people drove out of the Marquis Mansion, and carriages one after another formed a long queue by the Jinshui River.
A small number of these carriages are from people who came to congratulate them in advance after hearing the news.
But the vast majority of them are carriages purchased by the Marquis Mansion.
The whole of Beijing quickly boiled over because of one thing.
In the backyard of the Hou Mansion, Chang Ning had barely recovered after three days of training.
Chen Kanzheng helped him walk slowly in the room.
According to Wen Po, walking on the ground is helpful for physical recovery.
So neither Chen Kan nor Chang Ning dared to neglect.
The wet nurse stood aside holding the sleeping little meat dumpling.
Now the wet nurse's job has changed from wet nurse to nanny. The only thing she has to do every day is to put Little Rouduanzi to sleep.
Because of the matter of breastfeeding, Chang Ning refused to let anyone else do it, and insisted on feeding her herself.
Even Chen Kan couldn't move her.
Fortunately, Chang Ning had plenty of milk, so she wasn't worried about the little one going hungry.
The little one doesn't have a name yet because her mother is a princess, so Chen Kan has no say in the naming matter.
It is necessary to write to Zhu Di, requesting for a name, and by the way, requesting for canonization.
According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the daughter of a princess is also classified as a royal family and is called a daughter of the clan or a daughter of the clan. The people are generally called princess, princess, or young princess.
Daughters born to princes are called clan daughters, collectively known as princesses.
Of course, the title still requires the nod of the emperor Zhu Di.
The difference between the two lies in the word "sum".
However, although the daughter born from the princess will take the man's surname, her final name still needs to be approved by the clan and be included in the royal family's golden book.
So now the servants in the mansion call the little guy Miss.
Chen Kan and Chang Ning simply called her baby.
Chen Kan helped Chang Ning walk around the room for a short while. When Chang Ning was exhausted, he helped her sit down on a soft stool.
Chang Ning looked at the cautious Chen Kan and couldn't help but whisper: "Husband, the house is busy now. There is a baby and servants in the room with me. Just go and deal with the chores in the house."
Chen Kan sat down next to Chang Ning, took the small meat dumplings from the wet nurse, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Yuncheng is taking care of everything in the house, so there is no need to take action for her husband."
Yes, Chen Kan has been with Chang Ning for three days.
A woman who is in confinement is very sensitive, and if she is left to a servant, he is really worried.
So he asked people to install two beds in the confinement room.
Chang Ning took the little meat dumplings to sleep in one room, and he slept in the other room.
This not only makes it easier for him to spend time with his wife and children, but also allows him to hide away from work.
The main reason is that there are more and more officials coming to visit these days, and Chen Kan really can't receive them.
There are as many as eight hundred officials, big and small, in the entire territory of Beijing, ranging from one thousand to eight hundred.
Chen Kan couldn't see him coming, so he simply refused to take care of his wife and children. Even if the officials who came to the door couldn't see him as the real owner, they wouldn't be too unhappy for this reason.
"Your Highness, it's time to eat!"
A maid came over with a bowl of eggs in sugar water, and Chen Kan had no choice but to move aside with the child in his arms.
Pregnant women must eat brown sugar eggs after giving birth. This rule also applies in Ming Dynasty.
Of course, eggs that pregnant women don’t eat will end up in men’s stomachs. This rule also applies in Ming Dynasty.
So now Chen Kan feels sick when he sees eggs.
The maid fed Chang Ning sugar water in small spoonfuls.
The little guy in Chen Kan's arms suddenly opened his eyes.
Three days have passed, and the little meat dumpling has grown a bit, at least his eyes can be opened wide.
"Wow~"
A powerful cry rang out. Even after three days of adapting, Chen Kan was still in a panic when he heard such a powerful cry again.
"Madam, is she hungry?"
