Chapter 407 Resentment
Outside the delivery room, the wife, the emperor and others heard the baby's cry and their smiles were like blooming chrysanthemums.

Liu Xiaoying came out holding the child, smiling: "Congratulations to Madam on becoming the Emperor, congratulations to the Empress Dowager..., the Empress gave birth to a little prince..."

"Good! Good! Good!" The Emperor said excitedly. He wanted to reach out and hug the child, but because the child was too small, he raised his hands in the air and then put them down.

The same is true for Shen Zhuoyun.

The Queen Mother and Mrs. Gu did not have these concerns.

The Queen Mother stepped forward and picked up the child skillfully, looking at him lovingly: "This child is so handsome! He is even more handsome than when Chen'er was born!"

"Most babies are wrinkled when they are born, but the little prince is white and clean, without even vernix. This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful child."

Gu stretched out her arms and wanted to hug the little prince.

The Queen Mother dodged immediately, then thought of Gu as the little prince's grandmother, her expression froze for a moment, and she said reluctantly: "Hold her for a while and then give her back to me."

"Hey!" Gu happily took the little prince.

But before Gu could stop smiling, the little prince was carried back to the delivery room by Liu Xiaoying.

It's windy outside, so the little prince shouldn't stay outside for too long.

Gu immediately ordered the maid to go back home to pack her clothes, and she wanted to stay in the palace to take care of Shen Jia during her confinement.

The empress dowager's eyes lit up, and she also wanted to move to Fengyi Palace to take care of her daughter-in-law and grandson.

The Empress Dowager looked at them with resentment and decided to move to the palace closest to Fengyi Palace.

Xiao Yichen fully agreed with his mother-in-law and mother moving to Fengyi Palace.

When Liu Xiaoying came in carrying the little prince, the placenta in Shen Jia's belly fell out. After Li Yue cleaned Shen Jia up, Xiao Yichen carried Shen Jia back to the main hall.

Shen Jia was in good health and in good spirits after giving birth. She said to Liu Xiaoying, "Give me the child!"

Liu Xiaoying gently placed the little prince in Shen Jia's hands, and then asked the servants in the room to leave.

Shen Jia looked at the cute little girl in his arms, and his heart softened.

Xiao Yichen frowned: "Jia Jia, you just gave birth, you are weak..."

Shen Jia glared at him and interrupted him: "I have practiced martial arts for many years and my body is strong. I have recovered now. Half an hour after giving birth, the mother and baby have skin contact and sucking, which can stimulate early secretion of milk..."

After Shen Jia finished speaking, she lifted up her clothes and prepared to feed the little prince. Seeing this, Xiao Yichen's eyes darkened, but he didn't say anything.

The little prince closed his eyes and started eating.

Shen Jia saw that he was eating happily and smiled with curved eyebrows.

She didn't expect that she would start breastfeeding right after giving birth, and thought she would have to rely on a wet nurse to feed the baby for a few days.

Newborn babies have small appetites and get full after eating for a while.

Shen Jia placed the child beside him and asked, "Have you chosen a name for the child?"

Xiao Yichen looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of doting smiles: "Grandpa Emperor, give him the full name Xiao Hengrui, and let us choose the nickname ourselves. I'll listen to you."

Shen Jia shook his head, "I'm not good at naming, so you should choose it!"

"I hope our children will be the most powerful in the world. Let's call the eldest one Weiwei!"

Shen Jia shrugged without comment.

The two talked for a while before Shen Jia fell into a deep sleep.

Xiao Yichen looked at the two sleeping people, one big and one small, and felt very upset. He looked at them for a long time before getting up and going to the study to handle government affairs.

He picked up his pen and issued an edict. Since the empress had successfully given birth to the emperor's eldest son, the entire country would be exempted from taxes for an additional year.

When the new emperor ascended the throne and the empress and empress got married, taxes had been exempted for three years. When the eldest son of the emperor was born, another year was added, making a total of four years without taxes.

When the imperial edict was issued to all parts of the Great Zhou, the whole country celebrated and thanked Xiao Yichen, Shen Jiahe and the eldest prince.

Shen Jia didn't care about any of this and just spent her confinement peacefully.

Even the baby's baptism ceremony was personally handled by the Queen Mother and Gu.

However, after the third bathing ceremony, she began to instruct Li Yue to prepare a medicinal bath every three days, and she would personally bathe the child in the medicine.

The child ate well and slept soundly. By the time he was one month old, he had grown up. He was pink and tender, with a pair of big eyes like black grapes that rolled around, melting the hearts of everyone in the palace.

It was not possible for Gu to continue staying in the palace, so she could only leave reluctantly.

However, the Emperor couldn't wait to move next door to Fengyi Palace, under the pretext that he wanted to take care of the little baby Weiwei personally.

He said it and did it.

Except for feeding and sleeping at night, his eyes hardly ever left Weiwei.

The Queen Mother was quite resentful, but she did not dare to get angry. She could only sit quietly by the child's side and watch the sleeping Weiwei when the Emperor was taking a nap.

Shen Jia was optimistic about it. She had a lot of things to deal with personally, and it would be less of a hassle for her to hand Weiwei over to the Emperor or the Empress Dowager after feeding.

Xiao Yichen didn't care at all. He had been holding it in for several months and finally had the chance to live a life without shame or haste, so of course he wanted to enjoy it to the fullest.

In order to prevent Shen Jia from getting pregnant again too quickly, Xiao Yichen took contraceptive pills himself.

On September 22, the new city opened.

Xiao Yichen, Shen Jia brought the cute little baby Weiwei, and civil and military officials to attend the opening ceremony of the city.

Weiwei saw a scenery that was different from before, and he excitedly waved his little arms like lotus roots and giggled all the way.

The wide and flat streets look particularly bright under the sunlight.

The first place they went to was the university town with a construction area of ​​tens of thousands of acres. The several colleges were far apart, and various plants and flowers were planted on both sides of the connecting paths. There were also beautiful lakes, and the environment was beautiful and pleasant.

Each college has clean and bright classrooms, well-equipped and spotless laboratories, spacious and bright canteens, libraries filled with books, dormitories, gardens, Cuju fields, archery ranges, horse riding fields... everything you can think of.

The civil and military officials following behind them were jealous. If they were a few years younger, they would definitely go to study in such a good academy. After all, the presidents of the major academies were all from prominent families. As long as they passed the assessment, their future would not be bad.

The president of the National Defense College is Xiao Yichen, the president of the Medical College is Shen Jia, the president of the School of Engineering is Ling Yunsu, and the president of the School of Technology is Gu Yanzhi.

Although they were only nominal deans and occasionally gave lectures to students when they had time, and other matters were left to the vice-dean and his subordinates, he would personally examine the graduation exam four years later.

The first batch of students is particularly important as it is related to the future development of Da Zhou. The students recruited must strictly follow Shen Jia’s requirements before they can be admitted.

Its difficulty is no less than that of the imperial examination, and this is why people from all over the Great Zhou Dynasty flock to it.

Another feature of the new city is that there are thousands of two-story buildings, which are the low-rent housing proposed by Shen Jia.

The prices in the capital are high, and not every civil servant can afford to buy a house, especially for those in low-income government offices like the Hanlin Academy. Without help from family, it is simply wishful thinking to use one's salary to buy a house in the capital where every inch of land is worth a lot of money.

Therefore, Shen Jiacai proposed to build thousands of low-rent housing buildings. Any public official who meets the requirements can sign up and move in after passing the review.

As soon as Xiao Yichen issued the decree, tens of thousands of people signed up.

Most of them were officials from humble backgrounds, but there were also public servants such as teachers in academies and shopkeepers in government offices.
