If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Chapter 579 This is good

Shen Sui'an finally took action.

Jiang was playing with her children at the Empress Dowager's place. When she heard the news, she hurried to the upper room.

"I'll go too." The Empress Dowager quickly helped the maid's hand and stood up.

"Grandma, the baby has just started to grow. The birth won't start so soon. Don't worry." Jiang came over and held the Empress Dowager's hand.

"I'll go over and take a look at the situation first, and then I'll get back to you if I have any news."

The Empress Dowager said, "When Chao Ge'er was born, it was very quick. Her children all loved their mother very much."

"Go, go, go. I'm still fine."

When they arrived at the upper room, Fu Jinyuan had not returned yet.

"Have you sent anyone to tell the prince?" asked the Empress Dowager.

Ruan Zhaoxia and Feng Yuanjia stepped forward to pay their respects, while replying, "Grandfather, I have sent someone to call my cousin back."

"How is Suisui?" Jiang was worried about her daughter and walked towards the delivery room.

Shen Sui'an was feasting on a bowl of ginseng chicken soup, two beef patties, and a bowl of shredded pork noodles was waiting for him.

"..." Jiang didn't know how to express her worry.

"Mother, you are here." Shen Sui'an smiled at her, "While it is not painful now, I will eat more quickly so that I can have the strength to give birth to a child later."

In the delivery room, all the necessary things were prepared, and there was a female doctor waiting nearby. Four midwives who had been found long ago were also waiting, ready to deliver Shen Sui'an at any time.

When Shen Sui'an had eaten half a bowl of noodles, the pain started again.

"Do you want to have another bite?" asked Jiang.

"No, no, let's withdraw." Shen Sui'an waved his hand.

She took a deep breath and let Banjian support her as she walked around the room a few times.

From outside came the sound of the prince saluting.

Immediately afterwards, Fu Jinyuan's tall figure appeared before her.

"What do you think?" Fu Jinyuan stared at Shen Suian.

Shen Sui'an smiled and said, "It just started. I'm fine."

"I'm here with you." Fu Jinyuan said.

"No, mother is here. You go out and wait. I can't give birth if you stay here." Shen Suian immediately drove him away.

Fu Jinyuan saw that she was in so much pain that sweat broke out on her forehead, "Sui Sui..."

"Your Highness, please go out first." Jiang advised.

"Sui Sui, I'm outside. Call me immediately if anything happens." Fu Jinyuan was still worried.

The pain from labor was so severe that Shen Sui'an couldn't take care of him anymore.

Fu Jinyuan paced back and forth outside the delivery room. Listening to Shen Suian's restrained and forbearing voice coming from the room, he became very anxious.

The last time she gave birth to Chaoger, he was not here. When he rushed back, Chaoger was already born.

Giving birth is so painful!

The Empress Dowager looked at her grandson, who was so anxious that he wanted to rush in. She said softly, "Ayuan, don't be anxious. Your anxiety will affect Suisui."

Fu Jinyuan took a deep breath and sat down next to the Empress Dowager.

"Grandma, I'm just a little nervous." Fu Jinyuan said.

There was a smile in the eyes of the Empress Dowager. It was rare for the prince, who was always stern and solemn in front of outsiders, to look so nervous.

Fu Jinyuan frowned. He really wanted to relax, but the voice of Shen Suian coming from the delivery room made him tense.

Don’t let her give birth anymore!

The two little girls, Ruan Zhaoxia and Feng Yuanjia, both turned pale. They had no idea that giving birth was so difficult.

"Why are you two still here? Go back first." The Empress Dowager noticed that there were two unmarried girls at the door and immediately asked them to leave.

"We want to wait for my sister-in-law..." Ruan Zhaoxia said in a low voice.

The nanny beside the Grand Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Wait until the princess gives birth, and then send someone to tell the girls."

Ruan Zhaoxia and Feng Yuanjia had no choice but to leave first.

Another hour passed and there was still no movement in the delivery room.

Fu Jinyuan had the Empress Dowager sent back as well, as the old lady couldn't stand staying up late.

Shen Sui'an gave birth to Chao Ge'er smoothly. She didn't feel any pain for long and was able to give birth to Chao Ge'er.

But this time she really suffered.

At midnight, the midwife actually said that we needed to wait a little longer.

Jiang fed her half a cup of ginseng tea and said, "Don't be afraid. The fetus is in the right position. Just save your strength and the baby will be born smoothly in a little while."

Shen Sui'an nodded gently, "I know."

As dawn was about to break, Shen Sui'an finally gave birth to a son.

He's a big fat boy.

Fu Jinyuan took his youngest son from the midwife, his mind still buzzing.

son?

Why is it a son and not a daughter?

He clearly dreamed that he had a daughter.

Shen Sui'an was so tired that she fell asleep, and the maid carefully cleaned the dirt off her body.

Fu Jinyuan looked down at his youngest son, who was wrinkled and red, and it was hard to tell who he looked like.

He opened his pair of black eyes, and except for howling a few times when he was born, he had always been very well-behaved.

"This child is so good-looking." Jiang said with a smile.

Fu Jinyuan: "Mother, you have worked hard today. I am here, you should go back and rest early."

Jiang stayed here with Shen Sui'an for the whole night, and her face looked tired.

"You too." said Jiang.

Fu Jinyuan held his youngest son for a long time, until he began to turn his head away, looking like he was about to cry.

"He's hungry." Fu Jinyuan handed his youngest son to the wet nurse.

Looking at Shen Suian's sleeping face, his lips were still a little pale.

He was terribly distressed.

It was not until noon that Shen Sui'an woke up from hunger.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Fu Jinyuan sleeping next to me with his hands propped up.

She reached out her finger and gently tapped the tip of his nose.

Fu Jinyuan opened his eyes immediately, and when he saw her face had regained its color, a smile appeared in his eyes.

"We don't want to have any more children. Two sons are enough," he said in a hoarse voice.

Shen Sui'an smiled and said, "What should we do? What about the daughter you have been waiting for for so long?"

"My son is doing well too," said Fu Jinyuan.

He couldn't bear to see her go through such pain again.

Shen Sui'an smiled, "Where's the child?"

"I'll ask the wet nurse to bring the baby over." Fu Jinyuan said.

Also coming along was Chao Ge'er.

"Mother!" He rushed towards his brother, and slowed down when approaching the bed. He carefully held Shen Suian's hand.

His delicate face was filled with worry. He grabbed Shen Sui'an's hand and said, "Mother, I saw my brother."

Shen Sui'an's eyes were full of tenderness. She pinched Chao Ge'er's little hand and asked, "Do you like your brother?"

"I like it." Chao Ge'er nodded vigorously.

Shen Sui'an looked at his little son who was being held by his wet nurse.

The nurse quickly placed the child beside her and said, "Princess, the young master is so handsome and well behaved."

"Daddy, it's Fatty Little Brother, not Fatty Little Sister. You should like him too." Chao Ge'er turned his head and said to Fu Jinyuan seriously.

Fu Jinyuan was amused by his childish seriousness.

"Yeah, Daddy likes it too." Fu Jinyuan said.

Shen Sui'an looked at the three most important people in her life and felt unprecedented satisfaction and happiness in her heart.

"I'm hungry." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.

Fu Jinyuan immediately asked the maid to come in and help Shen Sui'an wash up.

The couple had breakfast together.

Chao Ge'er was talking to his younger brother next to him, speaking in childish language, and no one knew what they were saying.

Shen Sui'an couldn't help laughing when he looked at the two brothers.

"By the way, the matter in Yong Dynasty is settled. Yuanjia is going back to Yunzhou, and the matter between her and Ayi should also have a result." Shen Sui'an said in a low voice.

"It's inconvenient for you to go to Yunzhou, so please ask your uncle to propose marriage when the time comes."

Fu Jinyuan hummed, "I'm going to the royal capital."

Shen Sui'an gently placed her hand on the back of his hand, "Talk to the Queen Mother nicely."

"Yeah." Fu Jinyuan nodded.

He has always been a good talker.

……

Fu Jinyuan named his youngest son Fu Zhiye.

After celebrating Ye Ge'er's third day of baptism, Fu Jinyuan prepared to set off for the royal capital.

"You have to bring someone with you. You can't go to the royal capital alone." The Queen Mother warned him.

Although she believed that Queen Mother Ruan would not do anything to her own son, she did not trust those who supported the Queen Mother.

Fu Jinyuan naturally nodded in agreement and said that he had brought a lot of people with him.

He was going to the royal capital, and did not ask anyone to write a letter to inform anyone in advance. Even Ruan Xinglin did not know that Fu Jinyuan would come back at this time.

So, when Queen Mother Nguyen was discussing matters with the cabinet ministers and heard the palace maid report that the Regent wanted to see her, everyone was stunned.

Queen Mother Ruan even accidentally knocked over the teacup on the table.

"What regent? Explain it clearly." Ruan Xinglin's voice suddenly became sharp.

The palace servant trembled and said, "Yes, it's the regent from Suzhou, who is outside the palace gate asking to see the Queen Mother."

Ruan Xinglin was delighted. Fu Jinyuan is back? !

What about the emperor?

He subconsciously looked at Queen Mother Ruan.

Empress Dowager Ruan looked stunned, but her emotions could not be seen.

The atmosphere in the palace was a little stagnant for a moment, and everyone didn't know how the Queen Mother would react.

The Regent comes back at this time...what is he going to do?

If the emperor comes back, will he take back the power?

"Please let the Regent in." Queen Mother Ruan said slowly.

"You guys step back first."

The ministers quickly bowed and took their leave.

When they were leaving the meeting hall, they saw a tall and straight figure walking towards them steadily.

After not seeing him for two years, the Regent seemed to have more power and authority than before, and he had an even more murderous aura.

If this person had ascended the throne in the first place, there would definitely not have been the Queen Mother ruling later.

"Your Highness!" Ruan Xinglin's tone was a little excited.

He strode forward and was about to bow when he was stopped by the Regent.

"Uncle, how are you?" Fu Jinyuan said with a smile.

Ruan Xinglin looked him up and down, "Why didn't you tell me you were back?"

"It was quite rushed and there was no time." Fu Jinyuan said.

"Is it...about the Emperor?" Ruan Xinglin's expression changed slightly.

Fu Jinyuan smiled and said, "It's a good thing, uncle."

Ruan Xinglin breathed a sigh of relief, "The Queen Mother is waiting for you inside. After you are done with your work, your uncle will have a couple of drinks with you."

"it is good."

Fu Jinyuan greeted several cabinet ministers before entering the meeting hall.

Empress Dowager Ruan looked at the slowly approaching figure and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

I haven't seen you for two years, and I feel like everything has changed.

From the nursery rhymes to Salt Lake City, she had never talked to her son honestly about anything.

He knew it was her people who did it.

She felt guilty towards him and didn't know how to explain it.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother." Fu Jinyuan bowed, respectful but distant.

Empress Dowager Ruan felt heartbroken.

The closeness between mother and son can never be regained.

"A Yuan, did the Emperor come back with us?" Empress Dowager Ruan asked softly.

"No." Fu Jinyuan raised his eyes and looked at Queen Mother Ruan quietly, "I came back this time because I have something to discuss with the Queen Mother."

Is there anything he needs to discuss with her? If it is about Suzhou, he can make the decision alone.

What I need to discuss with her is related to Fu Jinyi.

Empress Dowager Ruan's heart tightened, "Is it Yi'er who..."

"The emperor's marriage." Fu Jinyuan said calmly.

"What did you say?" Queen Mother Ruan exclaimed.

Fu Jinyuan said, "The emperor and Princess Yuanjia, the sister of the Yong Dynasty Zhennan King, are in love with each other, and he wants to marry Princess Yuanjia."

Queen Mother Ruan frowned, "What Zhennan Prince? Didn't the Zhennan Prince of Yong Dynasty rebel?"

"It was her father who rebelled, and now it is her brother who inherits the title of king." Fu Jinyuan said.

"Empress Dowager, the important thing is that the Emperor likes Princess Yuanjia and is willing to marry her."

Queen Mother Ruan wanted to object, but she couldn't say it.

She had never met Feng Yuanjia, so she didn't know her character, or even what she looked like.

Fu Jinyi used to tell her everything, but now that they were getting married, he even refused to come back and tell her about it in person.

"Princess Yuanjia has a kind character. If the Queen Mother sees her, she will like her." Fu Jinyuan said lightly.

Queen Mother Ruan closed her eyes and said, "You came to the capital city specifically to tell me this. Even if I object, Yi'er will marry Feng Yuanjia, right?"

"The emperor respects you." Fu Jinyuan said.

"Is he... not even coming back to get married, and planning to get married in Suzhou?" Empress Dowager Ruan's voice trembled a little.

Fu Jinyuan said calmly, "This is the second thing I want to discuss with the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Ruan's pupils trembled.

"The emperor's heart disease requires rest. He is no longer suitable to sit in this position. In order for him to live well, you, the Empress Dowager, please work harder." Fu Jinyuan said.

"You can call yourself an emperor, or whatever you want to do, we two brothers have no objection."

Queen Mother Ruan: "He is not fit to be the emperor. Why did you..."

"It's not that I don't have any ambition for power, but there are gains and losses. You also think that it is most appropriate for Yi'er to ascend the throne at that time. I didn't fight because I felt that brothers are more important."

"Yier has the same idea about you."

Queen Mother Ruan said in a hoarse voice, "You are hating me."

"No, I know you never thought of hurting me, but you have been calculating all your life and don't know that the most important thing between family members is sincerity."

"I'll give you this throne. When you get tired of it, you can pass it on to Yi'er's child, Queen Mother. Do you think this is okay?"

Empress Dowager Ruan stared at Fu Jinyuan without blinking.

"Yier is living well in Suzhou. I want him to open a government office in Suzhou."

"You all don't want to come back." Queen Mother Ruan asked softly.

Fu Jinyuan said, "We both got what we wanted, and that's good enough."

"By the way, Suisui has given birth to my little son, and his name is Yege'er."

Empress Dowager Ruan felt a lump in her throat and she turned her face away, trying hard to hold back the tears in her eyes.

"Whether you believe it or not, when Yi'er ascended the throne, I didn't have any ambitions. I just wanted to see you guys doing well." Queen Mother Ruan said.

"Yier believes in you." Fu Jinyuan said.

Fu Jinyuan stood up and said, "I will ask my uncle to go to Yunzhou to propose marriage for Yier. After they get married, I will come back to visit you."

Empress Dowager Ruan opened her mouth, but in the end just nodded.

"I will prepare a betrothal gift for Yier."

Fu Jinyuan cupped his hands and said, "Then I will take my leave first."

Since he came back, he has never called her mother.

Queen Dowager Ruan looked at Fu Jinyuan's gradually receding back and tears fell.
