So young...Gu Shao and the crown prince had such thoughts flashing through their minds almost at the same time. The difference is that Gu Shao sighed about his age and shocking immaturity, although judging from the words and deeds of the people around him, this place is already ancient, and he knows that the ancients generally get marriages early, but looking at the teenager in front of him who was just a junior high school student or a high school student, Gu Shao still felt unacceptable for a while. Because most of the parents were present when the children were born, and after the midwife brings him out, Gu Shao automatically regarded the man in front of him as the father of his life. Recognizing a high school student as a father, even if the other party has a noble status, Gu Shao can't do this in his heart. Isn't this a flower that is purely devastating to the Motherland?? You must know that he was almost thirty years old when he died in his last life. Not to mention that his father in his last life had only been dead for half a year.

And the prince sighed, did the newborn child turn out to be so young?

This little face is only half the size of his palm, and his arms are only as thick as his two fingers together. Isn't Consort Rong taking tonic every day during pregnancy? The precious medicinal materials and supplements collected in various places during the Zhenguo Gong's conquest are like flowing water sent to the palace, why didn't you see how strong your children were? The prince only felt as if he could break this little thing with just a little force. But such a little baby, who seems to have some congenital deficiencies, will naturally learn to rob himself when he grows up in the future.

Since he was born in the royal family, how can he be unreasonable?

Because the Crown Prince has been the confirmed legitimate son since the day of his birth, his position is naturally different from other brothers. The other brothers are all common sons, but since his birth, to avoid confusion between legitimate and common sons, the status of the two elder brothers in front has plummeted. After Emperor Jingwen ascended the throne, the contrast became even more apparent. the former brothers had now become sovereign and ministers.

Therefore, although there are many princes born later, this is the first time that they have seen their younger brother born. Especially this imperial brother's fetal hair has not dried yet, and there is still a faint bloody smell on his body. The prince was young and was inevitably touched by this scene, but in an instant, he came to his senses.

Gu Shao was a little incomprehensible, why did the aura of this cheap father change so quickly? His eyesight is not good now, and the way he wants to try to distinguish the other party's expression has become like this in the eyes of the prince--

The little baby had a pair of big eyes, and the pure and innocent eyes were turning around, reflecting the complex thoughts of the adults around him.

The Crown Prince took a deep breath and controlled it so that he didn't take his eyes away, and then he carefully returned the swaddling clothes in his arms:“... Take care of your little master, and please let Consort Rong rest well, and I have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave".

…Wait, Noble Consort? So, this little rascal isn't my real father but my brother? Was it so open in ancient times, if the father didn't come, let the brother accompany the birth? Gu Shao, who had been an only child all his life in his previous life, couldn't help but frown.

The little baby's face was wrinkled into buns in an instant. Because it happened to be the Crown prince who sent the swaddling clothes into the hands of his grandmother, he became reluctant in the eyes of everyone. "The little prince loves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince very much." I don't know who said that.

The little baby's face quickly wrinkled like a dumpling. It happened when the Crown Prince handed over the swaddle to the midwife, creating a look of reluctance in the eyes of onlookers. Someone remarked, "The little prince loves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince very much." The Crown Prince paused briefly but didn't say anything. Eventually, he glanced at Gu Shao and left quickly.

On the other side, in the Hall of Diligence -

Emperor Jingwen and the court officials were in the midst of discussing state affairs when a eunuch arrived to report that Noble Consort Rong was about to give birth. The court officials expected Emperor Jingwen, given his favor for Consort Rong, to rush over immediately. However, to their surprise, Emperor Jingwen hesitated briefly and then dismissed the eunuch. "In the palace, there is an Empress. Such matters do not require my immediate attention," he declared.

This left everyone astonished – the Emperor wasn't planning to attend the birth of his own heir?

Which minister isn't a savvy individual? Seeing that Emperor Jingwen didn't summon the Duke of Zhenguo to the current state affairs meeting and none of the officials from the Duke's estate showed up, what more needs to be said? After exchanging a glance, the ministers remained silent, pretending not to understand. However, privately, they had already planned how to distance themselves from the Duke of Zhenguo.

On the sidelines, the Prince's Tutor, who had been tense, inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. The small incident quickly passed, and the atmosphere in the Hall of Diligent Governance returned to its previous solemnity.

Just as time passed, the Prince's Tutor couldn't help but feel puzzled. They were about to discuss the regulations, and why hadn't the Crown Prince arrived yet?

An hour later, one by one, the courtiers left. When there were no others in the Hall of Diligent Governance, the news of Consort Rong's smooth delivery was also placed on the Emperor's desk.

"...Is this how you handle things?" How many times has this happened? Is this child just incredibly lucky?

Looking at the empty space before him, Emperor Jingwen rubbed his temples, showing a slight headache.

In the next moment, a man dressed in dark clothes suddenly appeared.

The man didn't say a word, and immediately fell to his knees. It is a capital offense to do things badly. But...... "At that time, the attendant Moshu beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly appeared, The midwife lost control at this point. It's the fault of the servant not handling things properly, I ask the emperor to punish me. The man buried his head deeply, not daring to resist at all. The words fell, and Emperor Jing Wen's hand moved and suddenly raised his eyes.

The man didn't hesitate and recounted the entire incident. "When the attendants saw the presence of the Crown Prince, they didn't dare to act again." Emperor Jingwen was utterly... he simply didn't know what to say. Was it really fate playing its hand like this? The man continued, "The little prince... he's a person of profound blessing." Emperor Jingwen responded, "…" Well, isn't that obvious? Isn't it deep enough? The decoction to avoid a son didn't avoid him, the tricks of the palace didn't harm him, and even though Consort Rong was uncomfortable, she couldn't get rid of him. On the day of his birth, the person who threatened him the most ended up saving him.

Emperor Jingwen had nothing to say. "I understand, you may withdraw." Perhaps due to the involvement of the Crown Prince, after some contemplation, Emperor Jingwen chose not to punish him. The man quickly disappeared. After a long while, Emperor Jingwen sighed deeply. The vast Hall of Diligent governance carried the echo of his sigh far and wide. Now that the die was cast, he might as well let it be... Emperor Jingwen had completely given up. After all, amidst a thousand mistakes, they were all the fault of the Duke of Zhenguo.

While Gu Shao was still pondering who might want to harm him, Consort Rong finally slowly regained consciousness. By this time, the moon had risen above the willow branches. The midwife was helping Consort Rong with the cleanup. Sensing something unusual from the bedding, Lady Rong's hand placed aside tightened slightly. Almost as soon as she opened her eyes, Suxin picked up Gu Shao and said, "Madam, take a look at the little prince. Look, he's looking at you."

At this moment, Gu Shao widened his eyes, looking at the young woman before him who was not even twenty years old. Due to his early memory and good recall, even though so many years had passed, Gu Shao still remembered his mother's appearance. Despite the blurred retinal imaging, he could still barely discern it because of the close proximity. The woman's face in front of him was surprisingly similar to his mother! Although not an exact replica, it was around seventy to eighty percent similar. In a daze, Gu Shao felt as if he could once again sense the delicate and tender hands of his mother. Even the breath felt so familiar. This warm feeling... truly had been long gone. Since the age of six, he hadn't experienced it again.

"Ah, ah." In excitement, Gu Shao opened his mouth wide, continuously expressing his emotions with "ah ah ah," instinctively reaching out to hold the baby. In the next moment, the swaddling cloth before his eyes was pushed away, and the somewhat cold and impatient voice of Consort Rong also came along — "Quick, get it away. I don’t want to see him!" With a "click," something seemed to break into two. "?" Completely uncontrollable, tears quickly welled up in the eyes of the tiny infant.
