October of the Third Year of Da Jin.
Song Xian looked at Song Mingyou in Liangchen's arms.
The name Yu was given by the mother-in-law, meaning assistance, and both Old Mrs. Song and Old Mrs. Chen found it quite suitable.
The courtiers were also very pleased. Originally, the palace had only the Empress, and the Emperor's progeny was their most pressing concern. With the birth of the Eldest Prince, it was naturally not enough; they desired a Second Prince, Third Prince, Fourth Prince... and so on without end for their satisfaction.
After Liangchen gave birth to Yu, Song Xian had a dream where Liangchen originally gave birth to a princess, but the courtiers pleaded for a prince.
Song Xian looked at his son's slightly smiling face. Yu was born smiling, even more charming than Zhe. However, he had a bad habit of crying at night, and no palace attendants or nannies could comfort him. Liangchen would pick him up, and Yu would fall asleep in no time.
