Chapter 504: The Imperial Concubine Is Pure and Elegant (Two Hundred and Fifty Four)

All along, Qiao Li never told Tuantuan his true identity, and the two of them called themselves "Qiao Li" and "Qiao Shiyan".

Tuan Tuan never asked who his father was, for fear of touching upon his mother's sad memories. He thought his father must have died, but he also felt that Uncle Xuan played the role of his father. When he was seven years old, Tuan Tuan blurted out "Daddy" to Xuan Yunian, which seemed to be a spell that broke the seal and tied the three people together.

Xuan Yunian had been with mother and son for many years, and Cui Li wasn't one to be cold-hearted. The two of them had developed feelings for each other, and naturally, two years ago, she married Xuan Yunian and became the Princess of Western Xinjiang. At eight, their son became the Crown Prince of Western Xinjiang, earning a new name: Xuanshi. However, they still used to call Tuantuan "Yan'er."

When Tuan Tuan turned nine, Qiao Li felt he was old enough to travel, and she wanted to explore the world. While Western Xinjiang was experiencing its initial prosperity, it still faced many hidden challenges. Xuan Yunian was stationed at the Western Xinjiang Palace, often unable to leave. He also had to occasionally visit Liangdu to meet with Liang Sheng. So Qiao Li took her son on a whirlwind tour of Western Xinjiang, secretly investigating the people's sentiments while enjoying themselves. As time went by, they became more adventurous, and only when the Lunar New Year approached did they consider returning to the Western Xinjiang Palace.

They had been out playing for three months this year and had only been back for two months. She knew very well that Xuan Yunian was reluctant to let them go out, but he didn't want to force them to stay in the palace.

Qiao Li touched her belly and said, "If I don't go out this year, in eight months or so, Tuantuan will have a brother or sister."

"What? Madam, you are pregnant? Last night..."

Xuan Yunian was stunned for a long time before he picked up Qiao Li and carried him horizontally, wanting to ask the imperial physician to check on him.

The man walked hurriedly but steadily, and the smile on his face infected Qiao Li. The two looked at each other, both with faces full of spring breeze and tenderness.

Xuan Yunian felt that he was the proudest person in the world at this moment!

After all, heaven favored him. He lost his mother at a young age, his father was incompetent, and he was exiled to a foreign land. But she saved him, and he was favored by the Imperial Master and adopted as his son. He chose to bury his resentment, forget "Qi Yu", and live as "Xuan Yunian". She had a hard time in the palace, and he was upset but helpless. Fortunately, she also wanted to leave the palace. It happened that the two countries of Ji and Qi wanted to eliminate Emperor Liang's wife and children. By chance, Imperial Noble Consort Cui disappeared, and it was Qiao Li who remained.

Xuan Yunian never thought that one day he would be able to be with his beloved and look at each other.

"Yan'er always said he was lonely and wanted a brother or sister to keep him company. I didn't expect that he would actually have a brother or sister. However, Yan'er is already ten years old, and I guess he doesn't have the patience to accompany a baby."

Qiao Li smiled and joked with her husband. Xuan Yunian hugged his wife tightly and said, "Yan'er won't accompany me, I'll accompany our child." After Qiao Shiyan made a warm nest for the injured eagle, he heard the news and hurried off. He had always wanted siblings since he was a child, but his mother would never agree to give him a sibling. His mother only said yes or no. She didn't know what the future would hold and couldn't promise him anything.

Now he's really going to be a big brother! Tuan Tuan is very happy, and his attention for the next eight months will be all on his mother.

When the midwife opened the door and took the baby out, Tuan Tuan was the first to rush forward and pick up the baby.

"Mammy, this is how you hold her, right? Yuanyuan is so pretty, the most beautiful child I've ever seen."

The midwife praised the young master for holding the baby in the correct way. As for what the young master said next, the midwife thought that it would take a few days for this red baby to look better. The young master really loved the baby so much that he loved the baby in it. Could he have seen as many babies as she, the midwife?

Of course, the midwife was very good at talking. She followed the young master's words and praised the little princess. As expected, she received a lot of rewards. She smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.

"Madam, thank you for your hard work. I have taken the medicine and we will never have another child."

"you!"

Before Qiao Li could finish expressing her shock, she fell asleep. When she woke up and saw the man in front of the bed, she couldn't help laughing.

The birth of her daughter was unexpected, and she had not planned to have another child. However, her husband was so considerate, which was rare in ancient times when having many children was generally expected.

Xuan Yunian brought the child in, and the couple looked at the child and enjoyed the warmth in the house.
