Time flew by. Le Yao Yao’s stomach went from flat to bulging, and now, she was about to give birth.

  It was currently noon. All the servants were walking briskly with a stressful look across their faces.

  The maidservants went in the delivery room with buckets of clear water but came out with bloody water.

  From the inside, Le Yao Yao’s cries could be heard. Her painful screams had the ability to make others feel unstable.

  The Empress was waiting in the Hall. She was anxiously pacing back and forth. In fact, the handkerchief in her hands was completely crinkled because of how tight she was onto gripping it.

  The Empress was already in her late 30s, but her face was very well maintained. She looked elegant and beautiful. At this moment, her brows were furrowed.

  “Lu’er has already been in labour for the whole day. Why isn’t the child coming out yet? Do you think something bad will happen?!” she exclaimed.

  “My lovely wife, please don’t panic. Physician Bai is inside. Lu’er will be fine. When you were giving birth to Xi’er, you were in labour for two days!” the Emperor gently tried to soothe the Empress.

  Nangong Jun Xi walked up and held onto his mother. He added, “Yes, Mother Empress, relax!”


  “Yes, Yao Yao’s body isn’t that weak. She will definitely be able to give birth to a healthy baby.” Tong Ya chirped in.

  Tong Ya had already gotten married with Nangong Jun Xi. Right now, she was 8 months pregnant. She had one hand supporting her back. With the help of a maidservant, she stood up and walked to the Empress’s side.

  Seeing this, Nangong Jun Xi instantly excused the maidservant and personally held onto his wife. He made eye contact with Tong Ya and smiled. Their eyes were filled with genuine love for each other.

  At this moment, the sharp sound of a baby’s cries could be heard amongst Le Yao Yao’s screams.

  The baby’s cries immediately changed the whole atmosphere.

  “The baby is born!!! Princess Lulu has given birth to a chubby young master!” a maidservant ran out happily and announced to everyone.

  “Thank God! Lu’er has finally given birth. Thank you, God!” the Empress cried.

  In the room, Le Yao Yao was thoroughly exhausted from childbirth. She felt as if all her energy had been sucked out of her.

  After the maidservants attentively wiped her body clean, Le Yao Yao tried to refrain from closing her eyes. She was barely able to keep her eyes open, but she weakly asked Dongfang Bai.

  “B-brother Bai, the child is…”


  “It’s a boy!”


  Dongfang Bai knew what Le Yao Yao wanted to ask, so he quickly gave her the answer.

  Hearing this, Le Yao Yao’s eyes flickered and her mouth curved into a smile. “May I take a look at him?”


  “Of course.”


  Dongfang Bai stood up and brought the baby over. The tiny baby was wrapped in swaddling clothes.

  “Yao Yao, take a look! Your son is so cute!”


  “Hehe…” Le Yao Yao smiled foolishly. Her eyes were completely mesmerized by her son. He had a tiny head, pink skin, and was currently sleeping soundly. His eyes were tightly shut, but his little mouth was partially open. He looked so adorable.

  Even though she almost died from exhaustion, seeing her cute son made all her suffering worth it.

  “Haha, Yi Xuan, little Yi Xuan….” she whispered.

  Yu, can you see this? Our child has arrived into this world! You must be really happy in Heaven, right?

  Finally, Le Yao Yao felt into a deep slumber.

  —–


  In a blink of an eye, it was as if time didn’t move, but people have changed. Four years went by just like that.

  Le Yao Yao went from being a weak woman to the mother of a four year old child.

  During these four years, many things happened. The second month after Le Yao Yao gave birth, Tong Ya became a mother of twins. Everyone was overjoyed!

  Everyday, the Empress played with her three grandchildren. After the Emperor was finished with his duties, he would also join the Empress.

  Although the Emperor already had other grandchildren with other concubines, his love for the Empress meant that he treated these grandchildren exceptionally well. Le Yao Yao and Tong Ya were also bestowed countless of rare treasures for their contributions to the family tree.

  It had already been five years since Leng Jun Yu’s death. Although they had wanted to get married, they had never officially completed the ceremony.

  Despite that, Le Yao Yao had arranged her hair like a married woman. For the rest of her life, she vowed to live as a widow.

  Of course, this freaked the Empress out. After all, Le Yao Yao was only 21 years old. Although her Lulu was already a mother, she was still so young! It was too pitiful to be a widow for life at her age!!

  So, during the past four years, the Empress constantly tried to find another suitor for Le Yao Yao. In addition, she continuously nagged Le Yao Yao to remarry.

  Le Yao Yao knew her mother was concerned about her. But she only had one person in her heart. This will never change. No other man can touch her heart like Yu did.

  When Yu passed away, her heart also died with him. She had no more ability to love any other man.

  Right now, her only goal was to focus on raising her child well. That way, in the future when she is dead, she will be able to justified herself to Yu. (end of chapter 194 raws).
