Luoyang. Sima Taifu's Mansion.

Sima Yi paced back and forth in the corridor with his hands behind his back, a rare look of anxiety on his face.

Today is the day when his beloved concubine Bai Lingjun is giving birth. In the morning, the midwife has already entered the room, but several hours have passed and she has not yet given birth. Bai Lingjun's painful screams can be heard in the room from time to time.

, Sima Yi, who had always been calm and composed, also appeared panicked.

Sima Yi has always been a strategist and a god of decision-making. No matter how difficult the situation is, he has it under his control. But when this woman gave birth, he couldn't help at all. He could only wait anxiously outside the house, with nothing to do.

.

Although Sima Yi's three wives had given birth to him seven sons and two daughters, the birth of Bai Lingjun still made Sima Yi very worried. Maybe it was because he had a son at an old age, and Sima Yi was deeply concerned about Bai Lingjun.

This child loves it very much.

Originally, Bai Lingjun won Sima Yi's favor with her beauty and intelligence. Although Sima Yi was alienated from Bai Lingjun a year ago because of the Yipinju incident, since learning that Bai Lingjun was pregnant, Bai Lingjun

Her status in Sima's mansion has skyrocketed, and Sima Yi's favor for her has reached an unparalleled level.

Therefore, Bai Lingjun's difficult delivery made Sima Yi very anxious, fearing that something would happen to Bai Lingjun and the child.

"Father, you have been standing here for several hours, you should go back to your room and take a rest." Master Sima advised from the side.

After all, Sima Yi is already an old man in his sixties, and it is too much for him to stand for such a long time.

Sima Yi waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I can handle being a father, but I don't know what's going on inside. Lingjun won't be able to survive this life-and-death test."

"Ji people have their own destiny, and Aunt Bai is not the kind of person who has a short life and a short life, I guess..." While Master Sima was speaking, a loud and loud cry of a baby suddenly came from the room.

"Having given birth? Good! Good! Good!" Sima Yi said three good words in succession, with a look of relief on his face.

Soon the maid in the room came out and said to Sima Yi: "Congratulations, Taifu, for adding another child."

When he heard that it was a son, Sima Yi was even more happy, lifted the door curtain and went directly into the room.

Naturally, it was inconvenient for Master Sima to enter, but his gloomy face seemed to have a slightly more gloomy look.

Having an extra brother is not a good thing for Master Sima, especially since Sima Yi only favored Bai Lingjun. Now that he has given birth to a son, the mother is more valuable than the son. She has the status of the Sima family and is in the ascendant. And with Sima Yi's love for Bai Lingjun,

Lingjun's favor will naturally pamper his ninth son in the future, and may even endanger the crown prince's status.

However, this idea only flashed in Sima Shi's mind for a moment, and soon he burst into laughter. His father, Sima Yi, was already over sixty years old, and his time was running out. This newly born little brother was still twenty years away from reaching adulthood.

Years later, no matter how hard it is, there is no chance for him to compete with himself for the position of the heir apparent.

At this time, Sima Zhao hurried in from outside and said, "Are you giving birth?"

Master Sima nodded.

"Male or female?" Sima Zhao seemed to be more concerned about this.

"Nongzhang."

Nongzhang means adding a child, which comes from the Book of Songs: When a boy is born, he carries the bed to sleep on, the clothes to wear, and the child to carry around. If a daughter is born, she is called Nongwa.

Sima Zhao took a step forward, looked at no one on the left and right, and lowered his voice to Master Sima: "Brother, don't you think there is something fishy here?"

"Sir, what do you mean?" Master Sima frowned and asked.

Sima Zhao smiled sinisterly and said: "Our father is already over sixty, does he still have the ability to have children? There are many rumors in the outside world, saying that the child in Aunt Bai's belly may not necessarily be our father. of seed.”

Master Sima's face darkened and he said: "In the market, there are all lies. Why do you believe them? Besides, if you catch a thief and get the stolen goods, if you catch an adulterer, you will get both. If you really have evidence, bring the adulterer. Naturally The truth will come to light, why be so unreasonable?"

Sima Zhao said sarcastically: "It is better to believe that this is true than to believe that it is not true. My father has many wives and concubines. Since he gave birth to his brother Wei ten years ago, he has nothing to do. However, at this age, he can still give birth to another son. , what a strange thing.”

Master Sima said: "Some people over eighty years old still have children, who can say for sure. Son, please don't talk nonsense about this. If your father hears it, I will be careful to punish you."

Sima Zhao said leisurely: "It can't be true. When father goes in and takes a look, he will naturally understand. Anyway, I don't care about this matter. You can just do whatever you want."

After saying that, Sima Zhao walked away.

Master Sima fell into deep thought. Although there were some children who were over sixty years old, they were in the minority after all. As for whether Bai Lingjun had stolen someone, Master Sima could not be sure. After all, he did not catch the adulterer.

In the room, Bai Lingjun was lying weakly on the couch. After several hours, she was exhausted.

"Congratulations, Madam, on the birth of a boy." the midwife congratulated her.

"Hurry up and bring the child over and let me take a look." It doesn't matter to Bai Lingjun whether it's a boy or a girl, the appearance of the child is the most important.

Of course, the midwife could not know what Bai Lingjun was thinking right now. She smiled and handed over the infant child. Other children looked like little monkeys with red buttocks when they were born, but this child was white and pure. , and his eyes opened as soon as he was born, with a pair of big black eyes rolling around.

The midwife praised her repeatedly: "Madam, this child looks like a noble man at first glance. Look at his face, eyes, and nose. He looks exactly like my wife. He will definitely be a handsome young man when he grows up."

Bai Lingjun took a look and saw that the child looked very similar to her. She was secretly relieved. It seemed that her bet was right.

"Concubine, thank you for your hard work." Sima Yi greeted cordially after coming in.

"It is my honor to be able to add incense to my master."

"This child is really beautiful, just like you." Sima Yi looked at the child with a warm expression on his face.

"This child's forehead is so wide, he looks just like the old man." Bai Lingjun reluctantly found a somewhat related feature. In fact, there are many plump people in heaven. What can be seen from such a big newborn.

But after hearing what Bai Lingjun said, Sima Yi looked at it with great interest for a long time, which made Bai Lingjun's heart beat faster. Fortunately, Sima Yi finally gave a definite explanation, like!

Bai Lingjun breathed out secretly and said, "Master, please give him a name."
