Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?

Chapter 1147 - 830: Name

Soon, the news of the birth of the Imperial Grandson spread throughout the entire Imperial Palace, all of Chang An City, and even the entire world.In such a turbulent and smoke-filled era, any good news, even if it has no relation to oneself, provides some comfort and encouragement to people’s hearts. Moreover, the people living under the rule of the Dasheng Dynasty have long hoped for the Yuwen Family, which loves the people like their children and is valiant and skilled in warfare, to unify the world soon and end this era of chaos. Thus, the birth of a child may not seem to add any force but it does fill them with greater confidence in the dynasty’s future.

After all, that’s the child of King Qin, Yu Wenye, who has quelled countless rebellions and slain numerous rebels!

Therefore, the people were elated, especially the citizens of Chang An, who celebrated for several days. Amidst this joy, Yu Wenquan not only reduced taxes in many places but also rewarded Princess Qin with a thousand gold pieces, along with an endless stream of gifts sent into Qianqiu Palace.

However, Princess Qin receiving the rewards was residing in Chengqian Hall all along.

The people of the palace always avoided discussing this matter, after all, Princess Qin giving birth in the Crown Prince’s palace was already an unfavorable, unspeakable incident. Besides, on the night after the birth, the Crown Prince hurriedly left the Imperial Palace, moving to his own Crown Prince Mansion, and did not visit the palace to pay respects for several days, as if fulfilling the low murmur heard by none on that night—

I’ll leave all this to you.

Shang Ruyi, of course, was unaware.

Given her own personality and status, she didn’t wish to stay in a place that wasn’t hers or even belonged to the Crown Prince for recovery. But just as she didn’t know that childbirth was a life-and-death gamble, she also didn’t foresee how weak she would become post-birth. These days, she didn’t even have the strength to get out of bed; all her eating and drinking had to be done in bed, under others’ service.

This made her angry; initially angry at her frailty, then slightly angry at the "trouble" caused by the child nearby, until she realized.

It’s all Yu Wenye’s fault!

If not for him, why would she need to endure such pain and suffering?

Now he has become a father without a care, leaving all the intense pain, weakness, and inconvenience solely to her, which is so unfair!

Thus, Shang Ruyi’s temper has been particularly fiery these days; one word could lead to complaints and curses. Surprisingly, Yu Wenye bore it all silently. Not only that, the always stern Prince Qin, who could intimidate a group with just a glance, began to show gentle, loving, even flattering smiles.

At this moment, seeing Shang Ruyi stubbornly trying to get out of bed yet faltering on weak legs, suddenly, a hand extended in front of her.

Lifting her head, she met Yu Wenye’s smiling eyes.

It had been like this for the past few days; as long as she wanted to do something, even before giving instructions, Yu Wenye moved faster than Tushere and the others. And he wouldn’t directly bring her what she wanted or carry her over but patiently supported her, letting her step by step fetch what she wanted and do what she wished.

It was better than the days of having things handed directly to her.

Yet Shang Ruyi still glared at him: "Pretender!"

Yu Wenye smiled, maintaining the position of his arm for her to hold onto, while his other hand loosely enveloped her waist, preventing her from falling due to weakness. Together they slowly walked forward until they stopped at the desk. Shang Ruyi poured herself a cup of tea, taking sip after sip.

Yu Wenye said, "Tea should be consumed less; the Food Bureau has prepared soup for you."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi furrowed her brow with displeasure: "Always drinking soup, my mouth has lost its taste."

She was someone who enjoyed rich flavors, and eating bland food for several days indeed felt unbearable. Yu Wenye only responded more tenderly: "Endure these few days; Doctor Su said you should avoid strongly flavored foods, it’ll be fine after confinement ends."

Shang Ruyi glared at him, puffed with anger.

Yu Wenye still smiled, leaning towards her ear, whispering: "After this month, I’ll take you out of the palace to eat delicious food, alright?"

Such words seemed familiar, and Shang Ruyi blinked, recalling when they were stationed at Luokou Ferry, Yu Wenye had promised to take her to Tinghe Building for good food, and later, indeed took her to Tinghe Building to taste delights like Little Sweet Crisp.

She immediately said: "Then, I also want Little Sweet Crisp, Fried Phoenix Tongue, and Cherry Meat."

Yu Wenye’s eyes brightened.

He clearly remembered everything from before, and looking at the woman in front of him, while angry, who had already become a mother yet still seemed charmingly naive, the smile in his eyes deepened, gently saying: "Alright, all to your wishes."

After finishing, he pressed down on Shang Ruyi’s hand still trying to bring the teacup to her mouth, saying: "Then, drink less of this."

"Oh."

Shang Ruyi finally obediently put down the cup.

As she was about to turn to walk back, she remembered something, asking: "By the way, where’s the child?"

Clearly having taken a nap with the child just now, upon waking the child was gone. Yu Wenye guided her back while saying: "The child was taken to Qianqiu Palace with the wet nurse; he woke hungry, so to avoid disturbing you."

"Oh."

With that, Shang Ruyi nodded, then further asked: "By the way, have you decided on a name for the child?"

Actually, during the months of pregnancy, they had named the child multiple times, regardless of gender, with numerous ingenious names. Originally, they thought once the child was born and the gender was known, they could simply pick one. But days passed, and Yu Wenye hadn’t settled on one yet, so they could only call their child, ’child’.

Yu Wenye said: "Father said he’ll decide on this."

"Oh?"

"It’s his Imperial Grandson; he said the name must be decided by him."

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi was somewhat pleased, unable to help but smile: "Then, what name will the elder choose?"

By this time, Yu Wenye had already guided her back to sit by the bed, saying: "Who knows."

Shang Ruyi sat down, feeling her body was steadier than before. Though her movements weren’t as free as before, she was no longer as weak and powerless. Raising her head to observe the unfamiliar hall that had been her dwelling for several days, making her uncomfortable, she said: "Feng Chen, perhaps we should return."
