Chapter 1718 – Finally Gave Birth
Jiang Pengji had an attitude of “Why should I care whether Xichang Princess lives or dies?” while Wei Ci showed a bit more “concern.”
He sincerely said, “I hope that the princess has a safe delivery, and both mother and child are well.”
“Why?”
“If it’s a son, raising him could become a hidden danger. If he knows gratitude, then good, but what if he turns out to be an ungrateful wolf? Who knows if he might hold a grudge against the Lord in the future? If there are any complications with this birth, it could damage the Lord’s reputation.”
In summary, it’s best if she gives birth to a daughter, cutting off the Old Minister An Huan’s ambitions and eliminating any risks, thereby keeping the Lord’s reputation clean.
Jiang Pengji playfully held a peeled sunflower seed up to his mouth, and Wei Ci was momentarily stunned, slowly opening his mouth to eat it. Meanwhile, their Lord, ever the tease, deliberately touched his lips with her fingertip, rubbing them slowly in an extremely ambiguous manner.
“Zixiao always thinks of me; I wonder what kind of reward you want?”
“My Lord!”
Wei Ci’s attempts to halt her were somewhat feeble. Instead of backing down, Jiang Pengji only felt more emboldened to press onward.
So, someone followed their heart and leaned in, touching like a dragonfly skimming the water before quickly pulling away.
“How about a reward of ‘a kiss from the Lord’?”
Burp—
What was that sound?
It was the belch of five million idle viewers, filled with envy over the dog food being shoved down their throats.
【Shinan’s Brief Notes】: The streamer is so shameless! This isn’t a reward for our male god; it’s clearly taking advantage of him.
【Ice Spring Water】: This kiss, rounding up, is an exhilarating ship moment!
Jiang Pengji was a stingy possessive type. Although she often teased Wei Ci during live broadcasts, most of the time she merely did so verbally. It was rare to see such a scene, so how could the viewers not be thrilled?
【My Brother’s Chest Muscles】: I unilaterally declare this CP is officially locked!
【Stowaway Non-Money】: The streamer continues to be wicked as ever; knowing that the Empress of the Mountain Spirit is still suffering, she flaunts her love so boldly, it’s like a critical hit. I wonder how the Empress’s son will react when he sees the mountains of streaming footage.
【Cafeteria Serving Lady】: What kind of reaction can there be? It must hurt!
Previously, the eighty-first-tier celebrity blasted the Empress’s son on Weibo, leading a public outcry against him.
Even so, the Empress’s son continued to live luxuriously, driving fancy cars, residing in palaces, and spending money lavishly on starlets, completely unaffected by the outside turmoil. In fact, in the eyes of his class, the noise from the online commoners barely made a ripple.
Commoners wave their keyboards with indignation, all for someone who’s not even at the level of a minor celebrity—how ridiculous!
Heh—
And now?
A man who once said, “Giving birth is like taking a dump” was now wailing through the pain of childbirth under the watchful eyes of five million viewers, with some sharp-tongued comments labeling him as a slaughtered pig.
Oh, he probably wasn’t even as fortunate as a pig ready for slaughter.
At least when pigs are slaughtered, they let out a mournful cry before dying, while the Empress’s son had his mouth blocked by the midwife.
No matter the pain, he could only whimper softly, swallowing all his sounds.
Many women watching the live stream felt that today’s content was extraordinarily soothing.
Especially those who had experienced childbirth themselves, wishing they could bring their husbands to the screen to let them see.
From pregnancy to delivery to nursing, many around them have spouted similar comments, particularly their closest companions.
What was said casually was taken to heart.
The emotions of new mothers were fragile, and those thoughtless remarks by folks who had it easy were hits they could never understand.
Some women even developed postpartum depression because of this, while their closest husbands stood by making little remarks—
“Isn’t birthing just having a baby? Everyone treats you like a queen; why are you being so dramatic? Postpartum depression? You always complain. What’s the big deal? Just because you’re feeling down, you’re not going to die from it—my mom’s generation went through tougher times without depression. You have everything; just give me a son and quit your fussing.”
In reality, postpartum depression can indeed be fatal.
If all men who uttered such taunts could experience a half-day tour of ancient childbirth, like the Empress’s son, perhaps they’d all fall silent.
Their pain doesn’t affect them, and they’re all heartless.
If the pain truly struck them, they’d learn to “respect women.”
Heh, let me say something harsh—
If birthing these men was so easy for their mothers, they should just let their moms do the job!
Why mistreat others’ daughters?
If they can’t fully respect, at least learn how to keep quiet!
Watching the live stream, the Empress’s son, struggling and wailing like a pig, lost all dignity with the midwife holding him half-squatting during childbirth. Many viewers felt a sense of triumph, but after the thrill came a pang of melancholy and indignation—a mix of emotions.
【Free Drinks】: Hey? Don’t you guys think the Empress’s son’s body looks familiar…?
As for whom it resembled, the viewers couldn’t pinpoint it.
Xichang Princess had changed tremendously from before, and with the Empress’s son in agony, his distorted face, veins standing out from his forehead, and half his face flushed—this appearance, no matter how few times the viewers had seen the princess, even her own mother might not recognize her. This question was like a drop tossed into the sea, creating a ripple or two before fading away.
The viewers continued to laugh and tease while Jiang Pengji made every effort to flaunt her love, all the while the poor Empress’s son was enduring the unbearable pain of life.
It was uncertain whether it was due to a large fetus, the mother’s youth, or something else, but this birth was particularly arduous.
Before the Empress’s son arrived, the princess had already endured seven or eight hours, nearly losing her life.
After he had taken over, he suffered for more than five additional hours.
“It’s almost over, almost over—dear, I can see the baby’s head!!!”
Upon hearing this, the Empress’s son, in a daze from the pain, felt as if he had received a shot of adrenaline. He gripped whatever he could and pushed with all his might. He sensed something sliding out from that area, and with every inch it moved, waves of intense pain struck him, like a hurricane battering a small boat, pushing him toward utter despair.
The midwife urgently said, “Dear, push hard! Don’t lose your strength, or the young master will get hurt!”
The Empress’s son cried while pushing.
MMP!
After I give birth to this little brat, I’m definitely going to toss him like Liu Big Ear did with A-Dou!
Not unknowing how long it had been, he felt his body lighten as something slipped out.
The Empress’s son, in a haze, thought—
Finally, it’s over!
The murmurs of surprise around him went unnoticed.
“Quick—where’s the baby?”
Have I struggled for so long only to not see this big baby I’ve birthed?!
