Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler-Chapter 46 - Being Honored As the Legitimate Eldest Son

Chapter 46: Being Honored As the Legitimate Eldest Son

As half an hour was gone, the baby’s cries came along.

Long Xiaoyuan abruptly stood up, so did Shi Qingzhou.

Shortly, the midwife came out with the little prince in her hands who had been washed clean.

The midwife, namely a palace maid in charge of delivering babies, was a little elder but was good at her job.

“Your Majesty, it’s a prince.”

The little prince was so tiny that Long Xiaoyun held him for fear that he would crush the baby with a little more force.

Long Xiaoyuan held the baby stiffly. Such a tiny baby…

Shi Qingzhou said with a smile, “Your Majesty, congratulations.”

Then, the eunuchs and palace maids knelt on the ground and exclaimed, “Your Majesty, congratulations.”

Long Xiaoyuan burst into laughter. “Sure. It’s my son!”

It was the first prince in the imperial palace!

As to Lady Huo dying of metrorrhagia, no one mentioned her in front of His Majesty!

Long Xiaoyuan named the little prince Long Huan.

The eunuchs and palace maids called him Prince Huan.

On the same day, Long Xiaoyuan took the baby to the Qiankun Palace and announced that the prince was the legitimate son of Shi Qingzhou from now on, dropping a bomb in the Imperial Harem.

Lady Shan and Lady Rou broke a set of teacups in their palaces.

So did other ladies…

At the morning session the next day, Liu Xiangyang announced the imperial edict, which made all ministers uproarious.

One minister said, “Your Majesty, the mother of the little prince is too humble. It will tarnish His Grace’s reputation if he is registered under the name of His Grace.”

“Your Majesty, the little prince is too young. Could this wait until you observe his qualities when he grows up?”

“Your Majesty, His Grace is distinguished, but the legitimate prince is even more important and is the future of the Tianlong Dynasty. Thus, isn’t it a little rushy to ask His Grace to raise the little prince…”

“Enough!” Long Xiaoyuan impatiently interrupted those three ministers. “I’ve made a decision. It’s not open to discussion…”

Liu Xiangyang said timely, “Report it if there is something; call it a day if there isn’t!”

If this matter was forbidden to say, how could there be something else? Those ministers looked at each other speechlessly.

Seeing that no one talked nonsense, Long Xiaoyuan directly stood up and walked away.

Liu Xiangyang said behind him, “The morning session is over!”

The ministers could do nothing but kneel on the ground and watch His Majesty leave.

After that, several ministers gathered around Shi Qingshan and said with jealousy, “Minister Shi, you’re so lucky!”

“Yeah. Minister Shi, congratulations. You have a grandson.”

“Minister Shi, you’re so blessed and make us enviable!”

Those sour words made Shi Qingzhou’s ears itchy. He said with a faint smile, “I have something to do at home, so I’m leaving…”

Watching him leave, those ministers frowned and murmured to themselves before walking away…

Right-Prime Minister and several ministers secretly glanced at each other with their eyes full of coldness.

Instead of noticing this, Long Xiaoyuan went straight to the Qiankun Palace.

The little prince didn’t cry much probably because of the premature birth and slept at the outer palace with his wet nurse, but Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou didn’t hear him cry much all night.

What a good baby!
