1185. The Empress Giving Birth

It's time for the Empress Lee Soo-sook to give birth.

At this time, she was sweating profusely and lying in her bedroom, her pretty face was twisted in pain.

In her mouth, she was constantly cursing Zhao Dongting. Of course, what she called out was Zhao Shi.

This made the old nannies who delivered their babies in the palace look very strange.

Listening to Li Xiushu's scolding, they could of course know who the child's father was.

They were extremely surprised by the emperor's sudden childbirth. After all, there was no circulating in the palace about the empress's pregnancy.

The child's father was actually the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, which surprised them even more.

The empress actually conceived the child of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty?

Even though these nannies often don’t care about national affairs, they can’t stop thinking about whether the Xixia surname is Li or Zhao in the future.

The Empress, but there are no other children.

Moreover, at the current age of the empress, and her style of behavior, she doesn't look like she will have to have another child.

The child in her womb, whether male or female, will definitely take over as the Emperor of Xixia in the future.

Anyway, there is already her empress in Xixia, and it would not be a big deal if another empress appears.

Outside the bedroom gate, Heliancheng and Zhongsun Zhouting also looked strange.

Heliancheng knew about Li Xiushu's pregnancy. Zhongsun Zhouting was the nephew of Zhongsun Qifu and was trusted by Li Xiushu, so he naturally knew about it later.

After all, Li Xiushu can hide it from anyone, and it is impossible for him to hide it from Zhongsun Qifu.

While Li Xiushu was giving birth, Heliancheng and Zhongsun Zhouting could only stand at the door of the bedroom to guard himself.

Outside the courtyard, there were two people and hundreds of confidants surrounding him.

No one can approach the Empress's bedroom without being summoned.

From time to time, the two of them looked at each other a few times.

No one said anything.

What they were thinking about now was probably what the nannies in the bedroom were thinking about.

The Empress is so hard to figure out.

At her age, she was actually an emperor who was far from that of the Song Dynasty. And she was pregnant with this descendant, but I don’t know what the empress was thinking.

The only thing that is certain is that the empress cannot be united with the Emperor because of her admiration for the Emperor of Song.

The relationship between the subjects is not that simple, let alone the emperors of the two countries.

The empress must have its purpose.

I don’t know when, but there was a scream in the bedroom, which was weak but extremely sharp.

Heliancheng and Zhongsun Zhouting were slightly moved.

Then I heard the cry of a child.

"Born!"

Heliancheng shouted softly.

Then he looked at each other with Zhongsun Zhouting, his eyes full of complexity.

I don’t know what impact this child’s birth will have on the future of Xixia.

And in the bedroom, there was also a voice from the nanny, "Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to the Emperor, it is a prince."

The nanny carefully held the baby who was still covered in blood with her hands, cut off the umbilical cord, placed it in front of Li Xiushu, and gave it to Li Xiushu.

Li Xiushu's pretty face was almost bloodless.

At this moment, all the charm and majesty disappeared.

She looked at the baby in front of her, and a strong smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Her eyes were filled with the brilliance of motherhood, extremely soft.

The baby in front of her seemed to be as unsatisfied as she could see it.

Until the nanny spoke, "Your Majesty, it's time to take the prince down to wash your body."

Li Xiushu still just said, "Wait a little longer, let me see it."

The nanny said, "But in this way... the prince will get infected with the cold."

This is not a hot summer. In plateaus like Xixia, the climate is even dry and cold.

When Li Xiushu heard this, she quickly changed her words: "Then you take him down to clean up quickly. Be careful, but don't let the prince get infected with the cold."

"yes."

The old lady hurriedly walked out with her baby in her arms.

When the other nannies were about to wipe Li Xiushu's body, they found that the emperor had already fallen asleep with a satisfied smile.

This made them look at each other, but no one dared to wake up Li Xiushu.

Outside the house, Heliancheng and Zhongsun Zhouting were still standing at the door.

The prince was taken out and they all saw it.

It is of course a good thing for them to have such a prince in Xixia.

After all, women are emperors, and they are not so legitimate. Some people will always be dissatisfied.

And when the prince ascends the throne in the future, this hidden danger may disappear invisibly.

Even after the news spreads, the situation in the North Korea and China will immediately have some impact.

Of course, they are not sure whether the empress will make this public. This is also the reason why the two of them still have to guard the door.

They still had to ask Li Xiushu about this matter. In this way, it would be better to instruct the soldiers guarding outside.

Soon, the nanny took the baby back to Li Xiushu's bedroom.

When passing by the door, Heliancheng and Zhongsun Zhouting both had their eyes moving with the baby.

Then he looked at each other and laughed.

When the prince was born, they were guarding the door. Could it be that this was not a qualification or honor?

When the prince takes power in the future, they can also be said to be the person who watched the prince's birth. This will be of more or less beneficial to their future promotions and so on.

Judging from the current situation, it was also an extremely wise decision for both of their families to choose to support the empress.

The empress pacified the rebellion in Lizhou East Road and other places, suppressed the major families, and had a much stronger reputation than when she was the emperor before.

Xixia is more like a country than before.

Their Helian family and Zhongsun family will soon become the two most prosperous families in the Western Xia.

Li Xiushu, who had just fallen asleep in the bedroom, seemed to have sensed it and woke up shortly after the baby was taken into the room.

The first thing she woke up was to turn her head and look to the side.

When you see the baby, a strong smile appears at the corner of your mouth.

When she was in the Yuan Palace, because of Kublai Khan's age, she had never thought that she would have children in her life.

Giving birth to a child at her current age is enough to be a child in this era. I am afraid that the love for this baby in my heart will be beyond words.

A nanny said, "Master, I will wipe your body for you."

Li Xiushu agreed gently, letting the nannies do it, her eyes just staring at the baby, without moving every second.

This means that Zhao Dongting is not here. If he were here, he would probably be unable to help but say a few words.

Judging from Li Xiushu's appearance, she seems to be spoiling this baby too much in the future.

After a while, Li Xiushu suddenly murmured to herself, "What name should I give you?"

"Li Wang..."

"Not good, not good."

"Li Jiande..."

“It’s not good either.”

“…”

The nannies in the room dare not speak.

"Li Zuixiao..."

The moment when the name was said, Li Xiushu's face seemed to show some satisfaction.

Then she asked the nannies in the house, "What do you think of the name Li Zuoxiao?"

The nannies looked up at her, all of them looked strange.

Li Zuoxiao...
