"Girl is good, well-behaved and sensible." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "I like girls."

Zhang Yu'er was not comforted. She glanced to the side, her eyes sparkling, and said, "But the girl is so ugly. I have never seen anyone so ugly."

Zhu Youxiao glanced at the bed and saw two babies lying there, wrapped up neatly, with their red, wrinkled little faces showing.

This is my "little cotton-padded jacket", Zhu Youxiao looked at the two babies with tenderness on his face.

"Your Majesty, don't you think they are ugly girls?" Zhang Yu'er put her face against the emperor's, feeling worried and sad.

Zhu Youxiao laughed and stroked Zhang Yu'er's face, saying, "The baby hasn't grown up yet, so it's still the same. Look at me, then look at you, how could you give birth to an ugly girl! When they grow up, they will definitely be beauties even prettier than you."

Zhang Yuer blinked her eyes, thinking that if the emperor said so, then it must be true. Her mother had comforted her just now, but she didn't believe it.

Zhu Youxiao comforted Zhang Yuer for a few more words, told her to have a good rest, and said he would come to see her again tomorrow, then got up and left.

When leaving, Zhu Youxiao looked at his twin daughters carefully again, then walked out of the palace with a satisfied and happy smile, and returned to the Qianqing Palace surrounded by palace servants.

The news spread quickly. After Empress Zhang Yan, Concubine Liang and Concubine Chun received reports from the palace maids, they immediately sent people to deliver the prepared gifts to Changchun Palace.

"A pair of little princesses! Concubine Yu is really amazing." Zhang Yan smiled and gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, feeling relieved.

The emperor's offspring was a matter of great importance. Although she was the empress, if she gave birth to a prince, no one would be able to compete with her. But what if it wasn't a boy?

Zhang Yuer's pregnancy had put some pressure on Zhang Yan, but now, she could breathe a sigh of relief.

This isn't to say that one is narrow-minded; everyone thinks about themselves. It's human nature, and there's nothing wrong with that. Especially in the imperial palace, who wouldn't want a secure position and everlasting favor?

Although Zhu Youxiao was affectionate and righteous, and treated his women well, he knew that women had their own thoughts. As long as they were not harmful, he did not want to pay attention to them.
