Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Chapter 301 Dawn

About a quarter of an hour later, Fan Mingrui, holding the tightly wrapped baby, walked out of the delivery room with Princess An: "You can go in now. Do you want to see your son first, or your hard-working wife?"

Fan Yanmu's choice needed no words. He walked straight towards the delivery room. It was obvious that what he was most concerned about was Xiao Zhixue, who had just experienced the pain of childbirth, rather than the baby in Fan Mingrui's arms.

Princess An smiled and said, "Let him be. We will naturally love our grandson."

It was two hours later when Xiao Zhixue woke up. She gently turned her head and looked at the little life beside the bed, then asked Fan Yanmu: "When did you come back?"

Fan Yanmu approached gently and replied softly, "We just got home not long ago, and this little guy is already eager to come out and see us."

Xiao Zhixue brought up the topic of naming the child again: "Have you decided on a name?"

Fan Yanmu sighed, looking somewhat helpless: "Don't mention it. When the news reached me, I was discussing the matter with the emperor, and the emperor made the decision directly. He would give the child's name."

Xiao Zhixue made a suggestion: "Let the grandfather decide on the name, and we can give the child a nickname privately."

Fan Yanmu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he smiled: "Good idea, let me think about it, I have to give my son a nickname that is both warm and nice."

The days passed slowly, and good and exciting news came from Yizhou. The long war finally saw the dawn of an end.

Xiao Wang, Teng Xuan and the Protector of the Country Luo Qifeng joined forces to attack the Yizhou rebels and the Daliang army from the front and back.

The leader of the Yizhou army, Zhong Wen, was captured, while the leader of Daliang, Ji Ling, died on the wall of Yizhou during the fierce battle.

Ji Ling, as a member of the Daliang royal family and also Tuoba Shang's cousin, personally led his troops south this time. In addition to stabilizing Daliang's borders, he also had another purpose, which was to avenge his nephew Tuoba Yan.

Tuoba Yan was arrested and escaped many times, and has been unable to return to Daliang for several years.

The Daliang royal family was eager to redeem Prince Tuoba Yan who was detained by Dayan, but because the ransom offered by Dayan was too high, they had no choice but to plot a rescue, but all attempts failed.

This battle was actually the result of Tuoba Shang and Ji Ling overcoming all difficulties, rejecting all opinions, and carefully planning with the clansmen lurking in Dayan. Xiao Wang and Luo Qifeng were furious at this situation. Regardless of Ji Ling's special identity, Xiao Wang made a decisive decision and ended Ji Ling's life on the top of the city wall of Yizhou.

The 100,000-strong army sent by Daliang suffered direct losses of more than 50,000 men in this battle, and the remaining 100,000 soldiers were all taken prisoner. They were busy helping to reinforce the city walls of Yizhou to guard against possible counterattacks.

The news of victory spread throughout the capital like a spring breeze, and the people excitedly cheered "Long live the emperor" and "Long live Dayan" to celebrate this rare victory.

There are also rumors that Xiao Yutao also made great contributions in this battle, and the Yizhou rebel leader Zhong Wen was captured by him personally.

It is said that Zhong Wen tried to escape, but unexpectedly ran into the skilled Xiao Yutao. After a brief confrontation, he had to admit defeat and surrender.

With the war in Yizhou coming to a temporary end, the army can return to the capital after waiting for the emperor's order.

Fan Yanmu, the grain and fodder transport supervisor, was finally able to take a breath. Emperor Kangzhong sympathized with his hard work during this period, and as he had just become a father, he was naturally very excited, so he granted him three days of precious vacation.

So, these few days he stayed at home peacefully in his mansion, accompanied by his lovely wife, trying to learn how to gently embrace the little life that had just come into the world.

He particularly followed Xiao Zhixue's teachings and scoffed at the old idea of ​​the older generation that "male children should not be held in arms", regarding it as nonsense.

During this period of time, Princess An hardly left the house during the day except for taking a short rest in the main house at night, immersed in the warm atmosphere of the Glass Courtyard.

Apart from breastfeeding herself, she spends almost the rest of the time with her baby, weaving a warm net with her loving eyes, carefully nurturing the growth of this new life.

This arrangement inadvertently created a lot of precious time for the young couple Fan Yanmu and Xiao Zhixue.

Fan Yanmu became more clingy than ever before, and stayed by Xiao Zhixue's side like a shadow all day long, causing Xiao Zhixue to laugh secretly, wondering if he had suddenly changed his personality, because he was not so clingy in the past.

As the days passed, the little guy was about to reach his full moon. His skin became whiter and more delicate, his little face was round and adorable, and the "red monkey" that Xiao Zhixue had jokingly described him when she first saw him was completely gone.

Considering that Prince An would not be able to return to the capital in the short term, Fan Yanmu decided not to hold a lavish full-moon banquet and only planned to hold a simple dinner within the family to celebrate.

Therefore, the little one's full moon banquet ended quietly in warmth and simplicity.

After the full moon, the temperature gradually warmed up. Princess An did not discuss with the young couple and directly moved her grandson and the wet nurse to the main courtyard. She also generously vacated the cozy little warm room in her bedroom for her grandson to live in.

When Xiao Zhixue heard this, she nodded and agreed without saying a word, showing her understanding as a daughter-in-law.

Fan Yanmu, on the other hand, grumbled quietly, revealing a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone: "That's my own flesh and blood, why can't we raise him ourselves? I've been looking forward to this child for more than 20 years, it's not easy for me."

When Xiao Zhixue heard this, a hint of helplessness flashed across her eyes and she almost rolled her eyes.

Is this really her usually calm and reserved husband?

After marriage, he became more and more childlike and frank, which made people laugh.

"Okay, stop being unreasonable. You are a man, how can you be so childish? That's your mother. How about I go talk to her and tell her that you blame her for taking your son away?"

Xiao Zhixue teased him deliberately.

When Fan Yanmu heard this, he hurriedly covered Xiao Zhixue's mouth, looking a little panicked: "Oh, my prince consort, this matter cannot be known to mother, otherwise it will be miserable for both of us, and I will have to be served by you."

Xiao Zhixue asked back with a confused look on her face: "Is there any connection between you and me going to tell this matter to my mother?"

Fan Yanmu lowered his voice, sounding somewhat mysterious: "You may not know much about Mother. When she was young, she had a very strong temper. She taught me whatever she said. When I was a child, I was often beaten by her."

After hearing this, Xiao Zhixue was so surprised that she couldn't believe it. It took her a long time to come back to her senses: "I think mother is so kind, how could she hit her son?"

Fan Yanmu smiled bitterly and explained, "You don't know, although mother doesn't fight, she is doted on by father. She won't hit, but as long as she complains to father, father will show no mercy at all."

Xiao Zhixue nodded thoughtfully: "Oh, I see, they are a typical 'strict father and kind mother' combination. Then we will do the same in the future so that the children will be more respectful of you."
