When the Queen Mother saw Chu Feng coming, she couldn't help but vent her resentment.
"You still remember to come here? You ungrateful bastard! How could you treat your grandparents like this?"
"What did your uncle and cousin do wrong? How could you treat them like this?" the Queen Mother asked angrily.
Chu Feng looked at the Queen Mother expressionlessly and asked, "Does your Majesty also think they are not wrong?"
"What could they have done wrong? Your grandfather, your uncle, and your cousin have you, the emperor, to look after them. They can do whatever they want. What's wrong with that?"
"How could you do this to them? They are your mother's father, brothers, and nephews. Do you even take me, your mother, seriously?"
"I'm your mother, how could you do this? You ungrateful bastard!"
The Queen Mother cursed while holding her breath, and after she finished cursing, she fell down, gasping for breath.
Because she was angry enough, she was able to resist the effects of the drug that made her lack energy, and she had to scold Chu Feng.
"And that Chu Yunyi! I told you a long time ago not to listen to him in everything. Why did you listen to him?"
"You only recognize relatives from the Chu family and don't recognize relatives from my mother's side at all, right?"
"I really regret giving birth to you... It would have been so much better if I hadn't given birth to you..." The Queen Mother couldn't help but curse.
No matter how sad Chu Feng was in his heart, he remained calm on the surface.
After the Queen Mother said she regretted giving birth to him, he couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, Mother, may have forgotten that you were crowned Queen by Father because you gave birth to me."
"It is because of my existence that the emperor father named my grandfather the Duke of Cheng'en. Otherwise, neither you nor my grandfather's family would be anything."
"The prosperity and wealth of you and my grandfather's family all depend on me. Without me, you will get nothing." Chu Feng said lightly.
The Queen Mother looked at her son with a cold face and said angrily, "No! No! You ungrateful and unfilial son..."
Chu Feng looked at the empress dowager who looked like she was crazy, and had no intention of continuing to talk to her. He ordered the palace servants to take good care of her and left.
Chu Feng was so sad that he couldn't help but find Chu Yunyi.
"Uncle, should I really not have been born?" Chu Feng couldn't help but look at Chu Yunyi and asked, "If it weren't for me, perhaps your uncle would be the emperor now, right?"
After all, my father originally wanted to make the younger brother the crown prince, and my uncle is also very outstanding and has lived up to my father's expectations.
But because of his birth, his father saw hope and gave him the position of heir that was originally supposed to be given to his uncle.
Now hearing the Queen Mother say that she regretted giving birth to him, Chu Feng couldn't help but want to ask Chu Yunyi whether he should not have been born.
"Your Majesty, why do you say that?" Chu Yunyi said expressionlessly, "Your Majesty is the child the late emperor has longed for. You are the one everyone has been looking forward to being born."
"Your Majesty, you cannot be so self-deprecating. You are the Emperor of Dayan, the ruler of a country."
Chu Feng said sadly, "But my mother said she regretted giving birth to me."
"The Empress Dowager was momentarily furious, Your Majesty need not take her words to heart," Chu Yunyi said. "At the very least, the late Emperor and I are both looking forward to Your Majesty's birth."
Chu Feng looked at his uncle's cold expression and smiled, "I understand..."
But he wasn't sure if he really listened.
Chu Yunyi looked at his eight-year-old nephew, and after thinking about it, he decided to comfort him and not get stuck in a dead end.
Although he was the emperor, who could blame him for being only eight years old?
…
The Queen Mother fell ill because of the events at Duke Cheng'en's Mansion. Coupled with the energy-depleting medicine Chu Yunyi gave her, she is now basically bedridden.
The Queen Mother wanted to cause trouble or take revenge on Chu Yunyi but she had no way to do so and could only be locked up in the "cold" Cining Palace.
During the time when Wushuang went out for free medical treatment from time to time and her belly swelled up like a balloon, her belly was almost seven months pregnant.
Just like before, she didn't want to wait eight or nine months to have another baby, so she gave birth directly when she was almost eight months pregnant.
A doctor cannot treat himself, so Wushuang certainly cannot deliver her own baby. Therefore, Chu Yunyi found a midwife with a clean background and invited the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to come, just to ensure that Wushuang could give birth safely.
Wushuang blocked out the pain, and after a whole day of struggling, she finally gave birth to the quintuplets.
"Congratulations, Your Highness. Congratulations, Your Highness." The midwife brought out the five children and showed them to Chu Yunyi, her face full of joy as she said, "Congratulations, Your Highness. These are five little princes."
Yes, Wushuang gave birth to five sons in this pregnancy.
Chu Yunyi looked down at the five little babies with red faces, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.
Is this what it feels like to be a father for the first time?
A very novel experience.
"Why are they so small?" Before Chu Yunyi could ask, Zhu Weiyi next to him couldn't help but ask.
Yes, when Wushuang stayed on the balcony in Beijing, Zhu Weiyi also stayed here to take care of his sister and never returned to Jiangnan.
Zhu Weiyi had already sent a message back, estimating the time of his sister's delivery and asking his family to come from Jiangnan.
Able to attend Wushuang’s child’s full moon banquet, hundred-day banquet and Wushuang’s wedding.
Zhu Weiyi was surprised at the tiny appearance of the quintuplets.
His babies were not this small when they were first born.
The midwife held the children and smiled kindly. "Master Zhu, they are so small because they are quintuplets. There are five children in one belly, so they can't grow too big."
"If it's too big, won't it burst the mother's belly? It will also make it difficult to give birth," explained the midwife.
Zhu Weiyi looked at the child in the midwife's arms and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and said, "Come, let me hold you."
He wants to hug his sister's child.
Chu Yunyi, who was standing nearby, looked at his brother-in-law and the child, then looked at the midwife and asked, "How is the princess? Is she okay?"
The midwife was a little surprised to hear that Chu Yunyi still remembered to care about Wushuang.
After being a midwife for so long, she has seen more people who just look after the baby after giving birth and don't ask much about the mother's condition.
Of course, the most common situation is that the men were not present at all when their wives or concubines gave birth, and there was no man waiting outside.
Chu Yunyi was concerned about Wushuang's health. The midwife was a little surprised, but still told him, "The princess is in good health. Imperial Physician Sun has already diagnosed her."
Chu Yunyi felt a little relieved and looked at the closed door, as if he could see the woman inside through the windows.
The woman who had given birth to five children for him and was about to become his princess.
The woman who will spend the rest of his life with him.
How is she now?
Is giving birth painful?
He remembered that some women would scream very loudly when giving birth, so why didn’t Wushuang scream as loudly?
Is she really okay?
