"Have all the ginseng been taken away?" The emperor's low voice suddenly sounded.

Wang Tigan was startled and quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have brought all the ginseng from the inner palace that is over 500 years old."

"Hmm!" the emperor responded briefly with a nasal sound, and then fell silent again.

There's enough ginseng to make a meal, Wang Tigan thought, and stole a glance. The weather was already getting hot, and beads of sweat were forming on the emperor's forehead and temples.

He gave a wink to Fan Xiaohui who followed the emperor. The girl seemed to be frightened and was at a loss as to what to do.

Only then did Fan Xiaohui muster up the courage to step forward and gently fan the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao turned his head and took a look without any expression, then turned back.

Queen Zhang Yan and two concubines were also coming, but were stopped by Zhu Youxiao's men.

This is not the time to learn and gain experience. Guang Yuer's heart-wrenching scream just now might scare others and cause them to have psychological trauma about giving birth.

The hall was silent, filled with tension and depression. Yu'er's voice could be heard again from the delivery room, and Zhu Youxiao began to pace back and forth in the hall.

With a cry, it was as if the sun broke through the clouds and illuminated the world.

Zhu Youxiao stopped, turned around and ran to the door of the palace, looking at it eagerly.

A new life has arrived? Surprise and worry intertwined, Zhu Youxiao's face had a very complicated expression, no emotion showing, completely without the usual forced reserve.

Wang Tigan opened his mouth but swallowed his words back. Although Yang Hanyi was the chief physician today, there were other imperial physicians waiting outside!

There were doctors who were good at acupuncture, massage, and even surgeons who could cut flesh. But since the emperor hadn't spoken, and Yang Hanyi hadn't summoned help, all he could do was wait.

As soon as the delivery room door opened, a small figure swiftly ran out and ran straight to the palace entrance. Without even wiping the sweat off her face, she bowed to the emperor and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Concubine Yu has given birth to a little princess. Both mother and daughter are safe."

"Okay." Zhu Youxiao ignored Tao Yan's impoliteness and his expression suddenly turned from gloomy to bright. He laughed heartily and saw Tao Yan didn't move after announcing the good news. He understood and smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You have done a good job in announcing the good news. Reward!"

The wedding money had been prepared long ago. Although Wang Tigan couldn't get it first this time, he wasn't angry.

The emperor's mood brightened, and the dark clouds in his heart dissipated. He smiled and handed two gold coins to Tao Yan, saying, "Little girl, keep them well. These are gold coins, bearing the royal family's joy."

Tao Yan chuckled, saluted the emperor, turned around and ran away, shouting as she ran: "Your Majesty, the noble is pregnant with another baby. I will come back to announce the good news later."

Another one?! Zhu Youxiao blinked his eyes, then he remembered what Tao Yan said just now, the key word "one" was actually ignored.

Yu'er is really capable. Just look at her big belly, she actually has two babies hidden inside. Well, I am also capable. How can she give birth to twins by herself?

Zhu Youxiao grinned and chuckled twice. The first birth went smoothly, so the second one shouldn't be a problem. Although he was still a little worried, it wasn't as serious as it was at the beginning.

A moment later, Tao Yan came running back to announce the good news that she had given birth to another little princess, and both mother and daughter were safe.

Zhu Youxiao felt relieved and generously rewarded Tao Yan. The little girl got double the wedding money and ran away happily.

Thank God, I finally didn’t have to go through any bloody dramas like difficult childbirth or farewell.

Principal Zhu You breathed a sigh of relief and sat down in his chair, waiting for everything to be cleaned up over there. He wanted to go in and see Yu'er, who had worked so hard, and his pair of "little cotton-padded jackets".

"Your servant congratulates His Majesty." Wang Tigan bowed and congratulated him, his smile even brighter than the emperor's. "Twins! Besides His Majesty, who else could have such great fortune?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly with pride and pretentious reserve. Not only were they twins, but he also wanted them to grow up healthily and break the curse that the carpenter emperor had no descendants.

He had already told Yu'er that she didn't need a wet nurse for the time being and would only breastfeed. In the ancient times when there were no vaccinations, this was probably the only way to enhance a baby's immunity.

Zhang Yu'er was the most obedient, doing whatever the emperor told her to do without even asking for reasons. It was Zhu Youxiao who took the initiative to explain things, and she didn't understand everything. But she remembered that it was good for the child.

After waiting anxiously for a while, Yang Hanyi finally came out with a tired face, followed by several midwives.

Don't underestimate these midwives. They are all well-known in the capital, and wealthy families are vying to invite them to their homes to help with childbirth.

"Your Majesty, I congratulate you." Yang Hanyi knelt down and saluted. "Empress Yufei has successfully given birth to two princesses. Both mother and daughter are safe."

Zhu Youxiao gestured for Fan Xiaohui to step forward and support her, saying gently, "Thank you, Yang Qing, for your hard work. I'll need you to take care of Concubine Yu's postpartum care."

"This is my humble duty, so I don't deserve the word 'hard work'." Yang Hanyi bowed again, speaking humbly.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand to reward Yang Hanyi and let him go to rest. There was no shortage of accommodation in Changchun Palace, and Yu'er needed the care and attention of Yang Hanyi and others during her confinement.

Zhu Youxiao stood up and went to visit Zhang Yuer in a happy and relaxed mood.

When he entered the hall, Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised to find that although Zhang Yu'er looked weak, she did not have the happiness and joy of a mother, and there were tears on her face.

"Your Majesty..." When Zhang Yu'er saw the emperor coming over, she wanted to sit up, but Zhu Youxiao stepped forward and held her down.

Wiping away the tears from Zhang Yu'er's face, Zhu Youxiao thought she was in pain from childbirth, so he held her hand and soothed her softly, "Yu'er has suffered."

Zhang Yu'er pursed her lips and muttered a little aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, there are two girls, no boys."
