Chapter 330: Chapter 233: The Birth of the Fifth Child_1
Lu Chen had stayed for a while in Zhou Youyou’s birthing room when her belly began to move incessantly.
At that moment, the midwife reminded him, “Prince, Madam Xiaozhou is about to give birth.”
Lu Chen replied, “I know.”
Then Lu Chen took hold of Zhou Youyou’s hand and said to her with a smile, “Youyou, don’t be nervous, it will soon be over.”
Zhou Youyou, with a relaxed expression, said, “With the Prince here, your consort is not nervous.”
All of Lu Chen’s women knew that he was capable of using Immortal Technique, and with Lu Chen’s help, giving birth was not difficult for them, as was proven with Mu Zixuan’s childbirth.
The moment Zhou Youyou finished speaking, a severe pain surged from her lower body. Seeing Zhou Youyou’s face suddenly change, Lu Chen knew it was about time.
Immediately, Lu Chen used the Rejuvenating Skill and sent a stream of green spiritual power into Zhou Youyou’s body. In just an instant, the pain she had been feeling vanished.
Lu Chen didn’t release her hand. He continued to infuse Zhou Youyou with spiritual power, and soon, the green spiritual power entering her body converged near the fetus and enveloped it.
Before Zhou Youyou could even react, the child shot out from her body, and the next moment, the room filled with the baby’s cries of “wah, wah, wah.”
The midwives hurriedly took care of things afterward, bathing the baby, cutting the umbilical cord, and so on.
Zhou Youyou, lying in bed, was stunned. She had felt pain only briefly before her child was born?
Was it really that easy?
Although she knew that with Lu Chen present childbirth shouldn’t be too painful, this seemed too easy, even easier than when she had given birth the last time.
Put crudely, it was even easier than relieving herself, as she had hardly felt anything when the child came out.
Seeing Zhou Youyou with a bewildered look, Lu Chen asked, “What’s wrong?”
Zhou Youyou replied in a daze, “Prince… my Lord, has your consort given birth just like that???”
Lu Chen chuckled and then said, “What? Would you have preferred our child to stay in your belly longer? It’s been nearly ten months. It was time to come out.”
Zhou Youyou then, still in a daze, said, “Thank you, my Lord.”
Lu Chen said, “What are you thanking me for? You are my woman; this is what I should do.”
As he said this, Lu Chen glanced at his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly curving upwards, thinking to himself that he was getting more and more proficient with the Rejuvenating Skill.
From the moment Zhou Youyou felt the child come out, not even two minutes had passed. The Rejuvenating Skill truly lived up to its name. In the future, naming it Saint Doctor wouldn’t be wrong.
It was then that the system voice echoed in Lu Chen’s ears.
[Congratulations, Host, on the birth of a child, rewarding two major vassal families. From now on, these two families will share life and death with the North Prince Mansion. If the North Prince Mansion prospers, so will they; if the North Prince Mansion perishes, so will they. They will follow you unconditionally.]
[The more children you have, the greater the rewards. Host, keep up the good work and strive to have descendants all over the world soon.]
Hearing the system’s prompt, Lu Chen was momentarily taken aback.
What’s this?
Two families as a reward this time?
Not an army? Nor talents?
What use are two families to him? Knowing how much he despises aristocratic families, why would the system reward him with families?
While Lu Chen was lost in thought, the midwife came over carrying the child, “Congratulations, Prince, Madam Xiaozhou has given birth to a Commandery Princess for you.”
Everyone in the North Prince Mansion knew that Lu Chen did not favor boys over girls. His fondness for them, especially for Lu Huanhuan, was evident.
Snapping back to reality after hearing the midwife’s words, Lu Chen took the child and smiled at her. The little girl, who had been wailing loudly, suddenly stopped crying.
Lu Chen then placed the baby girl on the bed. At this time, Zhou Youyou slowly propped herself up and turned to look at her daughter on the bed.
Zhou Youyou said, “Prince, please give her a name.”
Lu Chen answered, “Let’s name her Lu Lingxiu.”
Hearing this, Zhou Youyou murmured, “Lingxiu, Lingxiu, born with grace and elegance. The name the Prince has chosen is so beautiful.”
Lu Chen smiled faintly, then placed his hand on Lu Lingxiu, using the Rejuvenating Skill to check her for any illnesses and to treat her as necessary.
Lu Chen stayed with Zhou Youyou for about half an hour in the room before leaving for his study.
Entering the study, Lu Chen immediately opened the system to check the rewards he had just received.
Since these two families were awarded to him by the system, their loyalty to him would be one hundred percent. It was unrealistic to expect his domain not to have any major families, and if a dynasty inevitably produced them, then why not make his own people stronger?
In the future, he could use these two families to coordinate with him, putting on a show as if they were against the North Prince Mansion, then use them as bait to lure out other families that wanted to cause trouble.
Thinking about this made Lu Chen feel slightly more at ease. He then checked what these two families were known for.
[Qian Family: Remnants of the Great Shang, with a population of thirty thousand. Located in the capital city of the Great Wu dynasty, the current family head is Qian Dahai. They have close connections with Princess Wu and are ostensibly supported by her, but in truth, they serve only the Son of Destiny.]
