Gu Xu walked into the room, walked around the screen, and saw Zhao Yan lying on the large carved bed covered with a quilt.
Although in this world full of extraordinary power, her body recovered quickly and childbirth did not seem to leave any traces on her body,
Gu Xu still noticed , there was a trace of obvious fatigue between her brows.
Not far from her, stood several young palace maids, one of whom was holding a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes.
Gu Xu walked straight to Zhao Yan, sat down on the chair next to the bed, held her hand exposed outside the quilt, and said softly: "Yan'er, thank you for your hard work."
p>Zhao Yan looked at him, her thick eyelashes trembling slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She originally thought that Gu Xu would go see the child first.
Unexpectedly, he came to her first.
"I'm okay." She turned over and lay on her side facing Gu Xu. She stretched out her other hand and gently covered the back of his hand, deliberately using Yun Danfeng to She said in a light tone, "Women all over the world have come here like this. But you, Your Majesty, have been working on state affairs until late at night every day. That is the real hard work."
"Yan'er likes to be harsh. Gu Xu lowered his head and placed a kiss on the back of Zhao Yan's fair and smooth hand, "Earlier today, when the imperial doctor told me that you were going to give birth, I was very nervous. But now that I see that you are fine, I feel relieved." I feel relieved."
As he said that, he turned his eyes to the palace maid next to him.
"Come, let me see our child." He said softly, took the baby from the hands of the palace maid, and held it carefully in his arms.
The baby's skin looks wrinkled and red, his eyes are tightly closed, and his eyebrows are very light.
Gu Xu was a little surprised that with his and Zhao Yan's looks, they could give birth to such an ugly little thing.
Seemingly noticing the surprised expression on Gu Xu’s face, the palace maid immediately said respectfully: “Your Majesty, newborns all look like this. After a few days, if she drinks more milk, she will change. It’s become more beautiful.”
However, it wasn’t just the baby’s appearance that surprised Gu Xu.
What’s more, it’s the bloodline power and cultivation talent that she showed right after she was born.
When Gu Xu's consciousness gently floated into her body, he clearly felt that her body temperature was much hotter than that of ordinary people - the blood flowing in her veins did not seem to be blood. , but rushing magma.
It's like returning to our ancestors.
Her Yanling bloodline is not only far stronger than Zhao Yan's, but is even stronger than Xi's from thousands of years ago.
In addition, every breath and every movement of the baby seems to be in perfect harmony with the rhythm of the great avenue of heaven and earth.
The lines of cause and effect extending from her body are closely connected with the avenues, intertwining into a mysterious map.
Such a strange phenomenon is usually onlyThis can only be seen in races like the Dragon Clan, which are favored by the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and in Gu Xu's body, which was carefully crafted by Emperor Ziwei and was born close to the Dao.
"Could this be the legendary 'Innate Sacred Body Taoist Fetus'?" Gu Xu looked at his daughter and thought jokingly, "This little girl is really born with the appearance of a great emperor. Ah!"
"Gu Lang, have you decided what to name your daughter?" Zhao Yan suddenly asked.
"Didn't I tell you before? If it's a daughter, call her 'Gu Siyan'." He smiled slightly and replied.
Hearing his words, Zhao Yan snorted, tugged on his sleeves hard, and said dissatisfied: "You are now the monarch of Daxia, and your daughter will also become the center of attention in Daxia." "Princess, how could you give her such an improper name? If you tell her, it will make everyone laugh."
"What's wrong with that?" Gu Xu said seriously. , "Can't I like my queen openly?"
"You bastard," Zhao Yan was amused and angry by his behavior, "Quickly change my name to a more normal one!"
Gu Xu thought seriously for a while, then slowly said: "Then...let's call her 'Gu Qingyan'!"
"The river is clear and the world is peaceful."
"I only hope that the hard work of you and me today will enable her to live in a prosperous age of peace and tranquility."
…………
Under the careful care of the imperial doctor, after a few days, Zhao Yan was not only able to get out of bed and walk, but she also picked up the spear "Yizhangwei" and went straight to the army's training ground.
Gu Xu was worried about her physical condition.
But Zhao Yan said that her current condition could not be better.
She said that during the period of pregnancy, perhaps because of her daughter’s special physique, she had an unprecedented deep understanding of the avenues of heaven and earth, and her cultivation level also improved by leaps and bounds. Now she is only one step away from the realm of a saint. remote.
"I plan to take this opportunity to retreat and make a breakthrough in ten days." She looked at Gu Xu with piercing eyes, "You promised before that you would help me protect the law."
" That's right." Gu Xu nodded.
Recalling that last year, when he was promoted to the saint realm in the secret room of Liangzhou City, Zhao Yan held a spear and led the army to resist the attack of the Daqi Dynasty for him, trying his best to buy him time.
She even nearly died under the attack of Emperor Tianxing's projection.
If Gu Xu had not cultivated into a saint in time, broken through the barrier, and used the power of "time" to reverse time, I am afraid that the two of them would have been separated by Yin and Yang.
To this day, every time he recalls Zhao Yan’s breathing and heartbeat stopping, he still has lingering fear.
This memory constantly reminds him that he must become stronger in order to protect the people around him and never let down his guard easily.
He and Zhao Yan have gone through countless hardships together,There is a deep connection between the past and present life, and now they have a child with their blood flowing in their body.
Gu Xu could no longer imagine how terrible losing her would be to him.
"This time, it's me to protect you." He looked at her charming eyes with raised tails and said with a faint smile.
Zhao Yan stretched out a pair of white arms, hugged his neck, pressed her chest against his, and gave him a deep kiss.
…………
The appearance of a newborn baby changes rapidly.
In just a few days, Gu Qingyan no longer looked like a wrinkled "little old man". His skin quickly became smooth and tender. He finally opened his eyes and looked at the world in confusion. .
Whenever Gu Xu had free time, he would walk from the study to the bedroom, snatch his daughter from the hands of the palace people, and hold her in his arms with one hand.
Although Gu Qingyan's face is still young, he can already vaguely see the shadows of Gu Xu and Zhao Yan, especially the shape of his eyes, which are almost carved from the same mold as Zhao Yan.
Gu Xu could already imagine that when she grew up, she would be a stunningly beautiful woman.
He seemed to understand the feelings of a father like Shi Lei who held his daughter in his hands every day for fear of falling and held her daughter in his mouth for fear of melting.
At this moment, the father and daughter were looking directly at each other.
Gu Xu noticed that deep in his daughter's pupils, there was a golden-red light flickering, like a flame dancing in the dark night, or like lava flowing deep underground.
Gu Qingyan reached out of the swaddling clothes with a small hand and shook it in front of Gu Xu's eyes, as if asking him for a toy.
When a palace maid next to her saw this, she immediately picked up the rattle and started clattering next to her.
But Gu Qingyan was indifferent and seemed to have no interest in it.
Gu Xu smiled.
With a thought in his mind, the true energy gathered in the palm of his hand and turned into a cluster of bright flames.
The flame is like an orange elf, flickering on and off, changing erratically, and dancing non-stop.
It looks dreamlike and extremely beautiful.
However, it actually contains extremely terrifying high temperatures and destructive power, and can instantly turn a low-level practitioner into ashes.
Feeling the breath of the fire, the baby seemed to suddenly become excited and his eyes opened wide.
She first stretched out her finger and tentatively poked the "new toy".
The flames gently licked her white and tender skin, but did not cause any harm to her. Instead, they seemed to make her feel particularly comfortable.
Immediately afterwards, she snatched the ball of fire from Gu Xu's hand, held it in her palm, pinched it, and kneaded it into various shapes.
Then he threw it up high like a ball and stretched out his smallThe hand caught it firmly.
When the palace people nearby saw this scene, their hearts tightened, fearing that the baby would be harmed by this dangerous move.
“Relax,” Gu Xu smiled and reassured everyone, “This little guy’s ability to control fire is probably not much inferior to her mother’s. She is very smart and will definitely not hurt herself. . Just think of her as playing with a stuffed animal.”
But no one dared to relax at all.
The moment Gu Xu finished speaking, Gu Qingyan suddenly tapped the palms of his two small hands, and the flame suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.
Faced with such a change, the heartbeats of everyone present stopped for half a beat.
Only Gu Xu remained calm and composed.
"Don't panic, she just absorbed the energy of the flames," he explained, "Just think of her as drinking milk."
Everyone lowered their heads. , respectfully said yes.
They dare not refute Gu Xu’s words openly, but they secretly curse in their hearts: How can any baby in the world drink milk like this? This must be a monster!
After a while, Gu Qingyan completely absorbed the power of the flame.
Behind her, a pair of phoenix wings vaguely appeared, with firelight flickering at the ends of the wings, as if they were burning.
When Gu Xu saw this scene, he couldn't help but think of the scene last year when Zhao Yan fought with him in the "Dragon Secret Realm" in order to get the "Flint" and awaken her bloodline. He also remembered that she saw " After the flint was broken, the expression of loss and helplessness appeared on his face.
He couldn't help but sigh: This little guy Qingyan was really born in Rome! She was born with the strength that her mother had fought so hard for.
…………
After hearing the news of the birth of the emperor’s eldest daughter, Daxia’s ministers sent congratulations to Gu Xu one after another to congratulate him.
The one who showed the most excitement was naturally the former Duke of Yan, Zhao Changying.
After getting Gu Xu’s permission, he hurried to Changchun Garden to visit his granddaughter.
After seeing Gu Qingyan’s eyes that were very similar to Zhao Yan’s, this tall and burly rough warrior showed a silly smile on his face.
He carefully held the baby in his arms and coaxed her awkwardly.
When he said, "Qingyan is such a good boy, he doesn't cry or make trouble, which makes people worry less than when Yan'er was a child." He was glared hard by Zhao Yan next to him. One glance.
Before leaving, Zhao Changying made a request to Gu Xu: "Your Majesty, when Qingyan grows up, can I be her master and teach her martial arts?
< p> "The power of her bloodline is even more powerful than Yan'er's in the past, and many of the Northern Territory's unique skills, such as the 'Primary Fire Spear', will exert their ultimate power in her hands. ”A powerful eighth-level true king offered to teach his daughter martial arts, and Gu Xu was naturally happy to do so.
After all, as the king of a country, he faces threats from the Lingxiao Realm and has too many important things to deal with. It is impossible to be by his daughter's side and take good care of her all the time.
His eyes fell on Zhao Yan next to him, asking for her opinion.
Zhao Yan thought for a moment and nodded.
She could feel that her father had always felt guilty for not taking good care of her in the past, and now he planned to make up for this guilt on his granddaughter.
This is often how the so-called "cross-generational relationship" comes about.
…………
Ten days passed by in a blink of an eye.
On this day, Zhao Yan, accompanied by Gu Xu, entered an underground secret room in Changchun Garden.
Gu Xu used the power of "Qiankun" to seal off the space here, completely isolating it from the outside world, forming a nearly independent realm.
At the same time, he used the law of cause and effect to block the prying eyes of all divination spells.
Zhao Yan wore a bloody red dress and sat on the futon in the center of the secret room.
The skin is whiter than snow, and the eyes are as bright as torches.
"Yan'er, are you ready?" Gu Xu asked standing aside.
Zhao Yan nodded gently.
But after a brief silence, she looked up at Gu Xu again: "I'm still a little nervous."
She knew that her promotion to a saint would be a huge disadvantage for Daxia, which currently lacks top-level combat power. It is a very important matter.
Therefore, she was also under a lot of pressure.
"Don't be nervous," Gu Xu said with a smile, "You have become a saint thousands of years ago. Today, you are just going back to the same path.
< p>"Besides, I'm here to accompany you. "Hearing his words, Zhao Yan took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.
In a daze, she seemed to have returned to the barren land thousands of years ago. The master stayed by her side, destroying all the ghosts that threatened her life while talking and laughing, and guided her step by step on the path of spiritual practice.
It seemed that as long as she was with the master, she would be happy. You can be fearless.
Gu Xu looked at her quietly from the side.
He saw the fiery red lines of the "Holy Fire Totem" on her body being covered one by one. The ground gradually lit up, and I saw the beautiful and blazing phoenix wings spread out behind her.
Then her whole body burned in flames, which made us more motivated. , updates faster, please use your little hand to exit the reading mode. Thank you
