On February 20, the third year of the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse, it snowed heavily in winter.

In Zhucheng County, Shandong, the inner courtyard of the Guogong Mansion in the middle of the night, but it was full of people, and the maids and women were all hurriedly walking around the inner house, and the largest courtyard in the house faintly heard the hoarse cry of a woman.

As the head of the house, Wang Qi was wearing a plain robe at the moment, covered with a cyan plush drape, standing under the eaves in front of the corridor, looking at the middle of the main room, his eyes were full of anxiety.

"Let's ask, what's going on inside?" Wang Qi was originally pacing under the corridor, but suddenly stood still, turned his head to look at Qingluo, the personal maid beside Hai Lanzhu.

"Master, the slave maid just went in and asked, the little boy has already shown his head, and Granny Zhang also said that Madame's body is suitable for birth and raising, and there should be no problems with this birth, you don't have to worry too much." Qingluo knew that Grandpa Guo was anxious, but in just one stick of incense, she had already asked three times, and she couldn't help a little except for being flustered.

Qingluo, who was slightly moved, gave a slight blessing to Qi Guogong: "Master, you can also go down and rest for a while, once there is news here, the slave will report back in time, you don't have to stay here all the time." ”

Ignoring Qingluo, Wang Qi waved his hand, took two steps back and sat on the bench under the porch casually, and then stood up uneasily, his thumb gently rubbing against the position of the jade wrench of his index finger.

At this moment, listening to Hai Lanzhu's painful moans in the house, his mind was as firm as Wang Qi, and he also closed his eyes, wanting to do something, but he was powerless.

Starting from Guangning City, to the current Zhucheng County, whether facing Huang Taiji, or Nurhachi, or the current emperor, Wang Qi has never been so nervous.

When did the dignified Duke of Qi Guogong ever sit so restless?

Probably because of the care about the people you care about the most in this life.

If something happens to Hai Lanzhu, Wang Qi really doesn't have any worries in the world.

Finally, about a stick of incense.

A loud cry of a crying baby came from the house, and at this moment, almost everyone was happy.

Wang Qi, who had closed his eyes tightly, got up the moment he heard the baby's cry, and stared at the door not far away, his Adam's apple trembling up and down.

Crunch!

The door opened wide from the inside, and a mother-in-law in a narrow robe walked out of the house with a happy face and bowed to Wang Qi: "Congratulations to Grandpa Guo, mother and son are safe, and they are happy to get jade." ”

"Congratulations to Grandpa Guo"

"Grandpa Hexiguo."

Inside and outside the courtyard, there were voices of congratulations.

"People here, reward a hundred taels of silver, all rejoice! The midwives were each rewarded with 500 taels of silver, and the mothers-in-law were rewarded with 1,000 taels! ”

Wang Qi waved his hand, and then couldn't wait to walk towards the house, at this time, the world-famous Duke of Qi Guo couldn't care about the other people's thanks and congratulations.

I'm a dad!

At this moment, the connection between Wang Qi and this world seems to be truly connected.

In the delivery room, except for the two personal maids and Wen Po, Wang Qi had already sent the others out, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of Hai Lanzhu's eyes.

The baby had been scrubbed clean, wrapped in a small red duvet and held in the nurse's arms, and fell asleep peacefully.

"Thank you for your hard work," Wang Qi's tone was full of distress.

Gently rubbing Wang Qi's palm with his cheek, Hai Lanzhu, who was lying on the bed, let out a soft murmur from the end of her nose.

Three hours of production, Rao is Hai Lanzhu rode and shot from childhood to adulthood, and her physical fitness was better than that of ordinary men, and she was tired and prostration, and she couldn't say a word.

However, at this time, the woman hoped that her husband could accompany her

In the following days, Wang Qi stayed by Hai Lanzhu's side almost every day, personally serving her daily life, and the little son of Guogong Mansion still became the center of discussion in the entire Qingzhou Mansion.

"I heard that when the little prince of Guogong Mansion was born, the entire backyard of Guogong Mansion was full of sunshine, and it could be seen clearly from miles away, and the glow of the sky did not disperse for a long time.

"The entire city and county can see it clearly!"

In the restaurant of Qingzhou Mansion, several middle-aged men described the birth of the son of the grandfather's mansion in a matter-of-fact manner.

The colorful description made people think that they had really seen it.

"How can there be such a mysterious thing, there are many such rumors, be careful that the factory guards come to arrest people at night!" The green-robed man on the side pointed to the table with his fingers, and answered: "My cousin is on an errand in Jinan Mansion, but I have really heard that Beijing City, Liaodong outside the Guan, and Gyeonggi Prefectures, together with the Horqin Wang Banner, countless congratulatory excerpts and letters, have flown towards Zhucheng County like snowflakes, and even the current emperor has personally decreed to congratulate the Duke of Qi, and specially named his son as the son of Langya, with 1,500 acres of food, and the rest of the rewards of gold and silver are countless."

"Langya Gongzi?" When all the men at the table heard this, they all sighed: "Some people are born to be sons and come here to enjoy a hundred years, and some people are born to be cattle and horses, and they have suffered here for decades." ”

"I also heard that the emperor has issued an order for the inner palace to step up preparations for the marriage of Duke Qi and Princess Ningde," the man in the green robe continued: "Therefore, it is also unknown where this little prince will go in the future. ”

Yes, in any case, Princess Ningde is the wife of the Duke of Qi, and if Princess Ningde gives birth to a son and a half daughter, then the son-in-law is the best candidate to inherit the position of the Duke of Qi in the future.

"This kind of leisure really doesn't work for you and me, even if you don't inherit the title of Duke of Qi and become a rich and noble son, it is impossible for me to do it."

When a few people were talking, not far away on the wine table, five well-dressed men all bowed their heads silently to eat, and from time to time they picked up tons of tea and poured a few sips, and then quickly lowered their heads and hurried to eat.

"Hurry up and eat, go out of the city after eating, and arrive in Zhucheng early tomorrow morning," among the several people, the man who looked like the leader had a black face and beard, and his voice was low, but he had the majesty of the superior, sitting there, the momentum was abrupt, and ordinary people did not dare to approach at all.

"Listen to it, how many strong men are also going to Zhucheng County?" When the blue-robed man who had just spoken heard this, he smiled: "If you want me to say that you are too late, the current Zhucheng County has gathered the entire Jiaodong Peninsula, no, the cronies of the people with heads and faces in the entire northern Ming Dynasty are waiting to congratulate the Duke of Qi!" You're only going now, and you're going to live in a ruined temple in the middle of nowhere."

"Don't bother this friend," he politely bowed his hand, and then picked up the tea, raised his head and drank it all.

With a bang, the teacup slammed on the table, and the other four people cleaned up the bowl at the same time.

"Let's go."

Not long after, under the gaze of the blue-robed men, the bearded guest and the others quickly disappeared.

"Qi Guogong, day after day!"

At the end, the blue-robed man could only sigh, full of envy and sigh.
