Chapter 240 Birth of the little princess, A Divine Omen Appears
At this moment.
Inside the Jing Nation's imperial palace, there was a jubilant atmosphere with lights and decorations adorning every corner.
The Empress was in labor!
The entire palace was on edge, with all available hands summoned to the Empress's chamber.
Countless courtiers and palace maids bustled about, carrying buckets of hot water and towels back and forth within the palace.
"Hurry, bring more hot water!"
"The white cloth must be scalded with boiling water before use!"
"Faster!"
Liu Yexi and Princess Xiao stood at the door, rolling up their sleeves and shouting instructions.
The palace maids followed their orders methodically, entering and exiting the door, occasionally pouring a basin of blood-stained hot water into a specially prepared basin.
Dressed in blue, Gu Lan paced back and forth in the courtyard, his hands constantly rubbing together, his face filled with worry as he occasionally tiptoed to peer into the room.
He wanted to check on Mu Yuyan several times but was firmly stopped by Liu Yexi.
Men were not allowed in the delivery room.
Gu Lan knew that his wife had eaten the Yuan fruit and there would be no mishap, but he couldn't help but worry as he anxiously waited.
It was the essence of human nature! No matter how powerful one was, true indifference was unattainable.

"Wah!"
The cry of a baby echoed through the courtyard of the Jing Nation's imperial palace.
Gu Lan felt as if lightning had struck his heart, his entire being enveloped in a tingling and exhilarating atmosphere.
That cry connected him to this world completely!
She was his flesh and blood, his legacy!
"Congratulations, my lord, the Empress has successfully given birth to a princess!"
Liu Yexi stepped forward, looking at Gu Lan with joy.
"Excellent! Excellent!"
Gu Lan's eyes sparkled with excitement as he hurriedly strode towards the delivery room.
As he approached, he saw a folding screen, behind which several experienced royal midwives were gathered, chattering away!
"Oh my, the little princess looks just like her Majesty, it's like they were carved from the same mold!"
"Look at her tiny mouth and nose, her facial features show promise from a young age. She will undoubtedly be a stunning beauty in the future!"
"Congratulations to Her Majesty on such a beautiful little princess!"
"This is a blessing for our Jing Nation!"
"..."
"Where's the child?"
Gu Lan walked in, and the midwives quickly bowed in respect.
One of the midwives grinned and pointed to the cradle beside the bed, saying, "The little princess is right there!"
"Congratulations to Prince Jingyang on the birth of his daughter!"
Overjoyed, Gu Lan nodded and said, "You will all be rewarded!"
The midwives burst into laughter.
Liu Yexi entered and, seeing the scene, coughed lightly, "Her Majesty has just given birth and needs rest. You all may withdraw."
"Yes, yes, we won't disturb Her Majesty and Prince Jingyang's conversation!"
The midwives all stepped back, led out of the delivery room by Liu Yexi.
In the room, only Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan remained.
"My lord..."
Mu Yuyan smiled at Gu Lan.
Gu Lan hurried forward, grasping Mu Yuyan's jade hand.
Mu Yuyan's forehead was still sweaty, her face pale, and the faint smell of blood filled the room...
Gu Lan couldn't help but tenderly stroke Mu Yuyan's cheek and said, "You've worked hard, my lady."
"Even if it was difficult, it's worth it for the safe birth of our child!"
"Quick, take a look at our child!"
Mu Yuyan weakly chuckled.
Gu Lan gently adjusted the pillow behind her, making her more comfortable.
Then he lowered his head to look at the bundle wrapped in swaddling clothes beside the cradle.
A tiny, chubby figure.
Although just born and still with closed eyes, the little fists were tightly clenched, showing strength.
Gu Lan couldn't help but carefully pick up the infant.
A fragile bundle, Gu Lan held her in his arms, afraid she might slip.
His clumsy posture made Mu Yuyan laugh softly from the side.
"This little one, with such a small and extraordinary appearance, what will become of her in the future?" Gu Lan looked at the princess in his arms and sighed half-jokingly.
Mu Yuyan pouted, "She will naturally inherit our kingdom!"
"Our princess exudes majesty from a young age, which will intimidate all the villains in the world in the future!"
"I think she's perfect just the way she is!"
"Yes!"
"Lady's words are always right!"
Gu Lan smiled and responded, "Then, what name shall we give our daughter?"
Mu Yuyan leaned lazily against the cradle and shook her head, "My lord is erudite and knowledgeable. It's up to you to choose a name."
Gu Lan smiled and said, "Well, then let's call her Gu... Gu Simu!"
"Simu? Gu Simu..."
Mu Yuyan's eyes were dreamy.
"It's a token of my love for you, my lady," Gu Lan said softly and tenderly, "Do you like the name?"
"Whatever my lord decides."
Mu Yuyan's eyes shone brightly as she looked at him, nodding gently, her gaze filled with sweetness.
To receive her lord's affection, all the pain of childbirth was worth it!
Moreover, she adored this child!
"Wah!"
Gu Lan was in conversation with the Empress when suddenly the baby in his arms began to cry.
He quickly bent down to gently rock and soothe the child.
However, at that moment!
A tremor ran through his heart as he raised his head, and the sound of rumbling echoed from the roof.
The palace trembled, and a rainbow-colored divine light descended from the sky, directly enveloping the baby in Gu Lan's arms.
Outside the delivery room, the palace attendants stood in shock and bewilderment, gazing at the sky.
Above the clouds, golden light swirled, phoenixes danced, and the shadow of a dragon appeared and disappeared!
Amidst the shimmering divine light, golden rain poured down, shrouding the entire palace.
Within the rain of light, the phoenixes and dragon shadows soared continuously, surrounding the delivery room.
The phoenixes paid homage, and the dragons sang endlessly!
The flowers bloomed, and the light butterflies gathered.
The chamber where the Empress currently resided had become a colorful paradise!
The converging rainbow light formed a pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and the earth, radiating in all directions and traversing through the entire Jing Nation!
...
The entire phenomenon extended for tens of thousands of miles!
Almost all the inhabitants of the continent witnessed it, countless spiritual beasts bowed in homage, and countless people paid their respects!
"Heaven bestows blessings!"
"Protecting our Jing Nation!"
"The fortune of Jing Nation prospers!"
The people of Jing Nation shouted in excitement, uplifted by this spectacle!
All the people were filled with excitement, this scene was even more magnificent than the consolidation of the nation's fortune!
In a short period of time, Jing Nation consecutively received auspicious signs, heralding a bright future for Jing Nation!
At the same time, the phenomenon spreading for thousands of miles was also seen by other dynasties.
With the descent of the rainbow divine light, the singing of phoenixes, and the presence of dragons, it was an auspicious scene!
Just by looking at this phenomenon, the monarchs of various dynasties felt the vastness of heavenly will!
At the end of this phenomenon, Jing Nation was destined to be the orthodox!
Heaven's will cannot be violated!
The monarchs of various dynasties could only sigh in admiration!
No wonder they could easily overthrow the Great Yu. Now, with the end of the battle for the imperial city, Jing Nation's unparalleled strength was established!
Some kingdoms that had been rebellious or harbored ulterior motives dared not have any second thoughts!
Even if they were unwilling in the past, they could only think of desperately befriending Jing Nation to seek blessings and share in the prosperous era!
...
Outside the capital of Jing Nation!
Chen Feng, who had just arrived, stood in place, looking up at the auspicious clouds floating in the sky, his face filled with envy!
With such an opportunity, if he could seize even a fraction of it, he could soar to the top!
Unfortunately, he did not have such luck...
Such a huge opportunity was spreading from the direction of the imperial palace.
How could ordinary people like him tap into the fortune of the royal family?
Chen Feng sighed lightly, and at that moment, he trembled all over!
Here it comes again... This feeling, as if something was slipping away, was so familiar... Chen Feng stood in the wind outside the city, feeling utterly confused.
