Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

On that day, there was a heavy snowfall. It was rare to see such heavy snow in the capital.

The snow was falling, and the lazy winter sunshine passed through the sparse shadows of the trees, illuminating the thick ice and snow, with mottled light and shadows.

Bai Zhiyuan sat in front of the window, watching the thick snow fall, covering the ground with a layer of white.

While she was in a daze, Xie Yunsong put a robe on her from behind, poured her a cup of hot tea, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I was thinking about the North. When we were in the North, we were used to such heavy snow. But this is the first time I have seen such heavy snow in Shangjing."

Xie Yunsong: "Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. Since the new emperor ascended the throne, Shangjing has become peaceful and stable."

Bai Zhiyuan took a sip of hot tea and said, "Yes, it seems that the new emperor's accession to the throne is also a good thing for Dali. He is diligent in his work and loves the people. He is a rare good emperor."

Xie Yunsong smiled slightly and said, "Isn't it because of this that Ayuan chose the Prince of Jin who had no support in the court? It seems that Ayuan has a very good vision."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Who said it wasn't?"

Xie Yunsong's eyes fell on Bai Zhiyuan's bulging belly, and he covered her hand and said, "Cheng Beixiao estimated that it will be around these days. In the next few days, I will stay by your side."

Bai Zhiyuan stroked her belly, her eyes gleaming with tenderness: "You don't have to be nervous. Since I became pregnant, you have been guarding me every day. How can I be that delicate?"

Xie Yunsong hesitated for a moment and said, "Everyone says that giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. I can't help but worry..."

Bai Zhiyuan took his hand and placed it on her belly. Feeling the tiny movements of the baby in her belly, she comforted him, "Don't worry. We have been through all the storms. How difficult is it to just give birth to a child?"

Xie Yunsong helped Bai Zhiyuan up and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, Ayuan."

Bai Zhiyuan lowered her head and chuckled, letting Xie Yunsong support her as they walked toward the couch. However, just as she took a step, she felt a sinking sensation in her stomach, and she paused.

Xie Yunsong was the first to notice that something was wrong with her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Zhiyuan was giving birth to a child for the first time in her past and present lives. She forced herself to calm down and said, "I'm afraid I'm about to give birth. Go get the midwife."

Xie Yunsong was stunned at first, then he reacted immediately. He pretended to be calm, but his slightly trembling hands still betrayed him a little.

He hurriedly helped Bai Zhiyuan onto the couch, turned around and strode out of the room. It was hard to tell whether he was more panicked or excited, and shouted, "Quick, quickly invite the midwife and Cheng Beixiao!"

The midwife was the best one, a well-known midwife in Shangjing. She had moved to Xie's house a month ago.

Soon, Princess Duanhui and Princess Heyue, who had learned the news, hurried over.

Bai Zhiyuan was lying on the bed, with a rare look of panic on her face. Even though she tried to remain calm, she was still a little uneasy.

The midwife comforted her, "Don't be afraid, county lady. Women give birth the first time, the second time is the right time."

Cheng Beixiao had also arrived. He was a foreigner and it was inconvenient for him to enter, so he had to shout from outside: "Sister Bai, don't be afraid, we are all outside to cheer you up..."

Until he caught a glimpse of Xie Yunsong's knife-like eyes, he had to shut up, waving his fan and walking back and forth. Although he was a doctor, he didn't know how to deliver a baby, and he had never seen a woman giving birth.

"Ayuan, get up and eat something first." Xie Yunsong brought a bowl of brown sugar eggs to Bai Zhiyuan.

The midwife also said, "Yes, county lady, giving birth is a strenuous job, you need to eat something to have the strength."

Although Bai Zhiyuan had no appetite at the moment, in order not to worry Xie Yunsong, he had no choice but to let him feed him spoonful by spoonful and reluctantly finished the whole bowl.

Outside, a group of people were waiting. Even Bai Qiuze and Su Qingxue, who had just gotten married, rushed over after hearing the news.

Tian Xun: "I don't know whether the county lady gave birth to a young master or a young lady. I made a bet with Ling Xiao, and I bet on the young lady."

Even Tianlin, who was usually not good at speaking, couldn't help but said, "I think it's the young master."

Steward Lin didn't care what they said at this time. He hid in the corner, chanting Amitabha while whispering, "May our ancestors bless the young lady and her son to be safe..."

After tossing and turning from morning to afternoon, Bai Zhiyuan was finally about to give birth.

The midwife asked Ling Xiao to take the maids to prepare hot water, towels, scissors and other things.

Bai Zhiyuan moaned softly on the bed.

She tried her best to endure it, but the pain was getting worse and worse, and she was sweating profusely. This was the greatest pain she had ever experienced since her rebirth. She had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and had suffered countless injuries, but she had never felt like someone was stabbing her in the abdomen with a knife, and she was powerless to do anything.

Xie Yunsong felt extremely distressed. He kept encouraging her, wiping her sweat, kissing her eyebrows, and said, "Ayuan, no more children. We will never have any more children."

The midwife glanced at Xie Yunsong and said bravely, "General, please go out first. This is how women give birth. You are a man, it is not appropriate for you to stay here..."

Xie Yunsong looked at the midwife with a cold gaze and said angrily, "What's inappropriate? Hurry up and help Ayuan. Can't you see how much pain she is in?"

The midwife was frightened, but seeing Xie Yunsong's stern expression, she dared not say anything and could only say, "County Lady, push harder, the baby will be out soon!"

"County Lady, try harder, you can see the child's head now—"

The group of people outside were feeling even more miserable.

From time to time, maids came in and out carrying silver basins. The blood in the basins was shocking. Su Qingxue pulled the nanny beside her and asked, "What's going on? Why is there so much blood?"

The nanny comforted her, "It's okay, women will bleed when giving birth, don't worry."

For those waiting outside, every minute seems especially long.

Since Cheng Beixiao arrived, he has been pacing back and forth, feeling extremely anxious. Even the people in the palace were alarmed, and the emperor sent people to greet him.

Princess Duanhui and Princess Heyue were even paler, and their faces were filled with worry.

I don't know how long it was before I heard a maid in the house exclaiming, "It's born, it's the young master!"

Immediately afterwards, a moment later, a "wow" sound was heard in the room, and the baby's cry was very loud.

Everyone was overjoyed.

Bai Zhiyuan was covered in a quilt in the room. Her face was pale, her hair was wet with cold sweat, and she was too weak to speak. Xie Yunsong held her hand tightly, put it to his lips and kissed it, and said distressedly: "Ayuan, the child is born, you have worked hard."

Xie Yunsong didn't even bother to look at the child. His lips trembled slightly, and his eyes and heart were full of worry and heartache.

Bai Zhiyuan forced a weak smile and said, "I'm fine. Let me see the child."

The midwife quickly cleaned the child, wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and brought him to Bai Zhiyuan, saying, "The young master is in good health!"

Bai Zhiyuan's gaze fell on the child. She slowly reached out her hand and stroked the child's wrinkled and red face.

Bai Zhiyuan said softly: "Xie Yunsong, this is our child, he will definitely grow up healthy and safe."

Xie Yunsong held Bai Zhiyuan's hand and a rare gentle smile appeared on his face. The family of three looked very happy.

The people standing by were reluctant to disturb this scene.

Love can transcend mountains and seas, but at this moment, love has taken shape in them.
