Chapter 493 His Daughter Li Yun
As night fell and the lights came on, the entire palace was shrouded in a faint moonlight. Li Chu reluctantly walked towards the Linglong Pavilion where Cui Caiping was staying. Although he hated Cui Caiping as a person, considering that the child she gave birth to was his own flesh and blood, he felt that he should go and visit her.
When Li Chu arrived at Linglong Pavilion, Cui Caiping had just woken from her sleep. Mo Xin, preparing to go out to get some food, suddenly saw Li Chu and was overjoyed. Li Chu hadn't set foot in Linglong Pavilion in months. Even at Biluo Courtyard and Luting Pavilion, he only visited once or twice a month as a matter of routine.
Mo Xin hurriedly bowed to Li Chu and greeted him. Li Chu casually waved his hand, motioning her to stand up, and then asked, "Is Cui Caiping awake?" There was a hint of indifference and impatience in his voice.
Mo Xin tried his best to suppress his inner excitement, nodded slightly and replied: "Your Highness, our wife has woken up."
Hearing this, Li Chu secretly groaned inwardly. He had originally hoped that Cui Caiping was still asleep, so that he could just check on the child and leave in a hurry. However, things had come to this point, and Li Chu had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Then I will go check on her." He took two steps forward, and suddenly, as if remembering something, he turned back and asked, "Is the child in the inner room?"
Mo Xin quickly replied respectfully, "Your Highness, the child is here too." After receiving a positive reply, Li Chu took a deep breath and slowly walked into the inner room.
At this time, Cui Caiping was leaning against the bed, holding the child and teasing him. Li Chu coughed, which attracted Cui Caiping's attention. Cui Caiping handed the child to the wet nurse and said, "I pay my respects to the prince, but I have just given birth and cannot leave the bed."
Li Chu naturally knew it, so he said, "It's okay, no need to be so polite." Then he walked to the bed and looked at the swaddling clothes held by the wet nurse.
When he lifted the corner of the quilt, Li Chu was still very surprised. After all, he remembered that when Li Shi and Li Ying were born, they looked a little wrinkled, but this child was white and chubby, and looked like a beauty.
He didn't take it to hold, but just said: "Well, this child is up to you, he is white and clean."
When Cui Caiping heard this, she was extremely happy. After all, apart from the time when she performed at her mother's house, Li Chu had never praised her again.
Cui Caiping smiled and said, "I will take it as a compliment from the prince, but I think this child has inherited her father's genes and will definitely be a beauty when she grows up."
Li Chu looked at the sleeping child in the wet nurse's arms again, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Seeing Li Chu's uncontrollable smile, Cui Caiping asked while the iron was hot, "Your Highness, have you decided on a name for your child?"
This was very embarrassing. Li Chu had indeed not thought about it. He had only thought about the name of his and Dugu Jingyao's child. If he used the previous alternative name, he was afraid that Dugu Jingyao would be angry, but how could he think of a good name in the short term?
So he posed a question to Cui Caiping: "You are the child's biological mother. You carried the child for ten months and gave birth to him. So I also want to ask what you think?"
Cui Caiping really didn't expect that Li Chu would give her the right to choose. She was stunned for a moment, but fortunately she reacted quickly. After all, it was her own child, so she naturally prepared a name for the child.
She then said, "I remember that women of this generation should use characters with the grass radical. I thought of two, one is 'Yun' and the other is 'Jing'. Which one do you think is more suitable, Your Highness?"
Li Chu thought for a moment and said, "'Yun' is a very good word. It has an elegant and poetic meaning."
Cui Caiping's face was filled with joy as she said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the name. This child will be called Li Yun from now on."
Li Chu nodded gently, and then said to Cui Caiping: "You have worked hard during the birth, rest early, I will go back first."
Cui Caiping originally wanted to try to keep Li Chu for a while longer, but Li Chu had already asked her to name the child, and she knew that Li Chu only had Dugu Jingyao in his heart, so she gave up. It was not easy for Li Chu to change his opinion of her, so she might as well take it slowly in the future. After all, she had her own child now, and maybe with the help of the child, Li Chu would come more often in the future.
Cui Caiping said, "Yes, I respectfully send you off, Your Highness."
Li Chu was very satisfied with her current understanding of the times. He nodded to her before leaving Linglong Pavilion and returning to Wangyuexuan.
After Li Chu left, Cui Caiping drank some porridge, and then she couldn't help but hold Li Yun over. Especially now that Li Yun was awake, she wanted to tease her even more. While teasing her, she said, "Good boy, you will be called Yun'er from now on."
In the end, Mo Xin, Lian Xin, and the wet nurse all tried to dissuade her. Mo Xin said, "Madam, you just gave birth not long ago. You should rest more." Lian Xin seconded the suggestion.
The nurse also said, "Yes, Madam, you can't sit for too long now, and you can't hold me for too long, otherwise you will hurt your body and develop a chronic illness. It will be bad."
Finally, Cui Caiping felt that they were too nagging, especially Li Yun who suddenly burst into tears again. She probably thought she was hungry, so she handed Li Yun to the wet nurse and lay down to rest.
