6th Year of Zhengyong, October 20th.

Zheng Yi appeared at Baihua Palace.

Today is the day of Princess Consort Wan Zhuu Wanwan’s delivery.

Besides her, two junior sisters, Lin Qing’er and Rong Miao’er, are also due.

The three of them are only a few days apart.

Zheng Yi, the Empress, Noble Consort Xu, and others waited at the door.

Now, Zheng Yi already has six daughters under his knee, but not a single prince.

The Eldest Princess Zheng Yuyao is over three years old, innocent and adorable, cherished by Zheng Yi as a precious gem.

Of course, the other princesses are equally adored.

Perhaps it’s because of the Innate Pure Yin Qi, or perhaps both parents are exceptional, the six princesses are each more adorable and beautiful than the last.

Time will reveal what kind of breathtaking beauty they will become.

In a previous life, Zheng Yi, having been a modern man, places great importance on his children’s education.

The Eldest Princess Zheng Yuyao and the Second Princess Zheng Yuxia are already receiving cultural education.

Of course, this education isn’t simply about the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, but just initial literacy.

Next, Zheng Yi plans to prepare education for his daughters in culture, mathematics, politics, as well as geography, physics, taught by specialized teachers.

Besides these academic subjects, they will also learn horseback riding, hunting, and martial arts, among others.

As children of the Royal Family, they must receive the highest level of education from a young age!

Zheng Yi even plans, when Zheng Yuyao and Zheng Yuxia are five, to visit Taizhong Mountain for Zhao Xizheng to check if they possess Spirit Roots.

Zheng Yi always holds great hope for daughters born with Innate Pure Yin Qi to possess Spirit Roots.

Having them is best.

Thus, they can follow him on the path of cultivation, establishing a powerful family, or even a Cultivation Country.

If they don’t possess Spirit Roots, he will still bestow a lifetime of riches and glory upon them.

They may do whatever they wish.

He himself will merely appear at critical moments to help them make choices and corrections.

After waiting a while, amid the sound of crying, the child was born.

“Your Majesty~”

Lu Lin’er nervously looked at Zheng Yi and whispered, “I don’t know if Princess Consort Wan can give birth to a prince for Your Majesty?”

Zheng Yi calmly said, “I still hold the same view; whether prince or princess, I adore them equally. The Empress need not worry.”

“But a prince will always concern Your Majesty’s lineage…”

Lu Lin’er blushed and said, “I wish the harem sisters could give Your Majesty more princes.”

“The Empress is thoughtful.”

Soon, the nurse came in, carrying a child and knelt down, saying:

“Congratulations, Your Majesty, it is a little princess!”

“Phew…”

The many consorts let out a long sigh of relief.

A princess?

A princess is good.

They still have chances.

But why is it another princess?

There have been seven consecutive princesses!

Currently, three more princesses are pregnant, Concubine Qing, Consort Miao, and Noble Consort Cui.

Concubine Qing and Consort Miao will deliver within two or three days.

As for Noble Consort Cui, she is four months pregnant and will likely deliver in five or six months.

Who knows if any of them will give birth to a prince?

If they do, it will be a celebration across the land.

If it’s still a princess…

Thinking of this, the expression of one of the consorts changed somewhat.

But Zheng Yi paid them no mind, holding the child and walking quickly into the bedchamber.

After Zheng Yi left, several astute little eunuchs quickly ran out to convey the news to the other consorts in the harem.

Inside the bedchamber, Zhuu Wanwan lay pale on the bed. Seeing Zheng Yi, she bit her lip and finally said helplessly, “All blessings to Your Majesty, I didn’t bear a prince for you…”

“Enough, don’t say such grandiose things.”

Zheng Yi waved his hand, motioning Zhuu Wanwan to lie down.

“I’ve tossed out all the contraceptives from your palace. As a concubine, you’re supposed to bear offspring for me. What’s there to refuse?”

“Your Majesty~”

“I know, entering the palace was not your choice. But this child was destined for us, to be born even after you took contraceptives is indeed her blessing.”

Zhuu Wanwan emotionally said, “Your Majesty, it’s all my fault…”

“No tears, you’re a mother now, why tears?”

Zheng Yi affectionately stroked Zhuu Wanwan’s hair. She and her junior sisters were ordinary people, only sharing decades of marriage with him.

Therefore, he should cherish them, letting them live a wonderful life.

“Please grant this child a name, Your Majesty.”

Zheng Yi smiled, “I’ve already prepared a name.”

“A hundred years to share a boat, a thousand to share a bed.”

“This child is destined for us, let’s name her Zheng Yuyuan, the Princess Xiuyuan, how’s that?”

“Yuan, Zheng Yuyuan, Princess Xiuyuan…”

Reciting the child’s name, Zhuu Wanwan’s face was full of happiness.

She never imagined, being from the Baihua Sect, destined to enchant the world, bringing heroes to their knees, that she would succumb beneath the Emperor’s dragon robe.

“Your Majesty~”

She coquettishly pulled Zheng Yi closer.

“The informant from Baihua Sect brought news; it seems the Mayfly Tower has reappeared with a new stronghold.”

“Oh? Mayfly Tower!”

For years, he has instructed the Embroidered Uniform Guard to search for information about Mayfly Tower.

Unexpectedly, it was from Zhuu Wanwan he learned about it.

Baihua Sect, indeed the number one intelligence organization in the world!

“Where are they located?”

At this moment, what Zheng Yi recalled was not the power he represents, but the Fire Spirit who had disappeared for four years!

Four years ago, he conspired with Prime Minister Yang but was severely injured by Xu Xuanwu with the power of the military formation and fled until today.

It’s uncertain how he has recovered by now.

Does he still need to take revenge against Great Yu?

“Jiangkou County in Jiangzhou Jiujiang Prefecture.”

Zhuu Wanwan said, “I received the news yesterday and intended to report to Your Majesty immediately, but Your Majesty did not summon me, so I could only wait until today.”

“Who would’ve thought that at this time Yuan’er would suddenly be born, truly… a blessing for Your Majesty!”

Zheng Yi nodded, recalling the situation in Jiangkou County of Jiujiang Prefecture.

This county town is located in the southeastern part of Jiangzhou, near the sea, and is a small town famous for fishing.

Mayfly Tower chose this place to reappear, perhaps as a preparation to escape.

Zheng Yi said, “Thank you, Noble Consort, this information is very useful to me.”

“To ease Your Majesty’s worries is my fortune.”

“Noble Consort, take good rest, I will visit you again in a few days.”

“Yes!”

Meanwhile, in two other side halls of Baihua Palace, upon hearing that Zhuu Wanwan had given birth to a princess, Lin Qing’er and Rong Miao’er couldn’t hide their smiles.

“Hehe, sister gave birth to a daughter, truly… a great blessing!”

“Yes, now there’s finally some reliance in the harem!”

“Why don’t we go see sister?”

“Good, good.”

Rong Miao’er giggled, her belly was round, yet her face remained tender, exuding a sense of voluptuous beauty.

The two women, supported by their respective maids, headed towards the main hall, and as soon as they left the doors, they saw Zheng Yi leaving the palace with a solemn expression.

“Your Majesty!”

The two women saluted, and Zheng Yi quickly supported them, as they were both pregnant.

“You two are about to give birth, why are you here instead of resting in bed?”

Rong Miao’er said, “I heard that sister gave birth to a princess and wanted to visit her.”

“You three sisters are deeply affectionate, which is comforting to me.”

Zheng Yi said, “I have urgent matters, you should go and rest early.”

“Yes~!”

As Zheng Yi left, Lin Qing’er said, “Your Majesty doesn’t seem very happy~”

“Of course.”

Rong Miao’er patted her belly and said, “Men always prefer boys.”

“Now there are already seven princesses in the harem, if I could give birth to a prince…”

“You?”

Rong Miao’er sneered, “You think you can give birth to a prince? I think it will be just like our sister.”

“What did you say? I think your belly is carrying a princess too!”

“Who said that? The midwife I consulted said my belly is round and full, surely a prince!”

“Is that so?”

The two women were arguing when suddenly a voice interrupted them.

“Why are you arguing here when Princess Consort Wan just gave birth to a daughter?”

The newcomer was Empress Lu Lin’er and Noble Consort Xu.

The two women had to salute, “Greetings, Empress, greetings, Noble Consort.”

The Empress nodded and said, “You two are about to give birth and should rest quickly, or you will face consequences if anything happens.”

“Hmph!”

The two women snorted, obviously not caring much for Lu Lin’er.

“You…”

“Enough!”

Xu Qingluan suddenly spoke, “Stop wandering around, although you two are second-grade martial artists, childbirth is the most dangerous time for women.”

“If you don’t want anything to happen, follow the Imperial Physician’s advice and rest well.”

In front of Xu Qingluan, the two women had to lower their heads.

There were indeed very few people in Great Yu who could reach the Grandmaster Realm as a woman.

They could ignore the orders of the Empress but had to bow their heads to Xu Qingluan.

After the two women left, Lu Lin’er sneered, “Noble Consort Xu has such an imposing manner, others might think you are the Empress!”

Xu Qingluan said, “What does the Empress mean? I’m doing this for the stability of the harem.”

“Stability of the harem? Hmph!”

Lu Lin’er walked away, “In my opinion, the least stable part of the harem is these female martial artists.”

“I will eventually find an opportunity to put them in their place!”

“Empress, you…”

Watching the angry Lu Lin’er leave, Xu Qingluan could only shake her head helplessly, praying in her heart that nothing terrible would happen.

Meanwhile, Zheng Yi had summoned the new Embroidered Uniform Guard Deputy Commander, Tang Cheng.

“Tang Cheng, quickly deliver this secret letter to the Embroidered Uniform Guard Ma Jinwu and Tang Jing, and have them proceed to Jiangzhou as soon as possible.”

“Yes!”

Watching Tang Cheng leave, Zheng Yi murmured, “Mayfly Tower, I hope you don’t disappoint me!”

A few days later, Lin Qing’er and Rong Miao’er also gave birth safely.

No surprise, they were all princesses.

After giving birth to princesses, it is said that the two women cried a lot, and it’s unclear what they were sad about.

Zheng Yi also visited them, bestowing names and titles upon his two daughters.

Lin Qing’er’s daughter was named Zheng Yuling, titled Princess Lingbo.

Rong Miao’er’s daughter was named Zheng Yuzhen, titled Princess Suzhen.

Now Zheng Yi had nine princesses under his knees, and he was carefree and content, although the consecutive birth of nine princesses sparked great discussion among the court ministers when it spread from the palace.

Zheng Yi paid no heed to these discussions.

They were merely rumors; as long as he had enough strength, he feared no rumors.

For now, his primary concern was Bingzhou.

After more than half a month of day and night travel, Liu Cheng’en successfully arrived in Bingzhou!
