Shen Yuhan suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of determination: "Go, invite the best postpartum doctor, and prepare the best postpartum medicine and confinement medicine!"

"Also, find the best wound medicine immediately."

"No matter what the cost, I will make my wife look like she was before!"

The attendants did not dare to delay and immediately dispersed to do the job.

Shen Yuhan stood outside the door, his chest still heaving violently, his heart could not calm down.

Qingyue's suffering was far more severe than he had imagined.

And he knew what was coming next.

What he had to do was to do his best to restore her health and prevent her from getting hurt again.

At the same time, the news of the birth of a child in the Shen family has spread rapidly in the streets and alleys of the capital, becoming the focus of heated discussion.

Shen Yuhan's triumphant return was a time for national celebration.

Now it is reported that his wife gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, which is double happiness.

The people all sighed that General Shen's family was so blessed.

People in the city's teahouses and taverns often mentioned this incident, and their conversations were full of admiration.

Night fell over the capital, the autumn wind blew gently, and the lights in the Taiji Palace were still bright.

The emperor and the empress were drinking tea in the pavilion of the imperial garden, and the faint fragrance of osmanthus filled the air.

The palace maids stood quietly by, and occasionally a few faint giggles could be heard.

The Queen laughed softly and said, "Your Majesty, I heard a few days ago that Shen Yuhan had returned triumphantly. Now that the overall situation has been settled, there is no need to worry about the border."

"Lord Shen is indeed a pillar of the country. This is truly cause for celebration."

The emperor picked up the teacup and nodded slightly, his eyes full of admiration: "Shen Yuhan has fought all over the world over the years and has made great contributions. This great victory really makes me feel at ease."

"Although he is young, he is a rare talent in the court."

The Queen smiled gently and said slowly, "Yes, I heard that he and Madam Fang Qingyue have a very close relationship. Now even the Emperor is worried about them."

The emperor gently put down the teacup, his eyes cast towards the distant sky, his voice slightly filled with emotion: "I have met countless ministers over the years, but Shen Yuhan is impeccable whether in the court or on the battlefield."

"It's a pity that his family is always on the brink of life and death."

The queen nodded slightly, feeling a little sad.

At this moment, a burst of brisk footsteps came from afar.

The new eunuch general manager Li Dequan walked in cautiously and quickly, bowing his head.

There was a hint of joy in his expression: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is good news from outside the palace!"

"The wife of Lord Shen gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl!"

Hearing this, the emperor was slightly startled, and then a hint of joy appeared between his brows.

The Queen also smiled, her eyes flashing with relief: "This is really a double blessing!"

"Having just returned triumphantly, we now have a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. Your family is truly blessed."

The emperor also nodded gently, with a gentle smile on his face: "Shen Yuhan has returned to the court after completing his mission. Now that he has such a happy event, it is a celebration for the country."

"God bless our Great Zhou, and may the country be peaceful and prosperous."

Seeing the emperor's smile, Li Dequan quickly struck while the iron was hot and bowed to report, "The Marquis has returned safely, and the wife has successfully given birth to twins."

"I believe this is a blessing from heaven. Should Your Majesty express his gratitude?"

The emperor pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the queen with a questioning look in his eyes: "What do you think the queen should do as a reward?"

The Queen smiled dignifiedly and said softly, "Lord Shen has served the country on the border for many years and has made great military achievements. For this great victory, His Majesty has already rewarded him handsomely."

"But now that my wife has given birth to twins, it is indeed a major event worth celebrating."

"I think it would be a good idea to bestow gold, silver, and jewelry, and also grant Fang Qingyue a position."

"It is both a compliment to the Marquis and will give her more ground to stand in the capital."

Upon hearing this, the emperor nodded in agreement: "Fang Qingyue has been managing the household for the Marquis for many years, and now she has given birth to a child for the Shen family. She truly deserves a reward."

After saying this, the emperor raised his hand and signaled Li Dequan: "Pass on the order."

"Give the Marquis Chen's mansion fifty taels of gold, silver, and jewelry, ten pieces of brocade and silk, and grant Fang as your principal wife to show my affection."

Upon hearing this, Li Dequan quickly bowed and accepted the order: "Yes, Your Majesty! I will draft the order right away."

The queen took a sip of tea, a smile on her face, as if she was still a little dissatisfied with the reward she had just received.

She pondered for a moment and said softly, "Your Majesty, I feel that Fang Qingyue is not an ordinary woman."

"Besides, Lord Shen has always been loyal. If Fang Qingyue continues to live in the capital as a commoner, her status will inevitably be somewhat low."

"After all, the Marquis is now an important official in the court, and Madam Fang is still the Marquis's principal wife."

“Such a disparity in status may not be a good factor in affecting Lord Shen’s future.”

Upon hearing this, the emperor frowned slightly, put down the teacup, and a look of thought flashed in his eyes.

He said softly, "The Queen is right. Shen Yuhan has indeed made outstanding contributions. Fang Qingyue gave birth to a child for the Shen family. Logically speaking, her status should not be too humble."

"But what does the Queen think is the best way to deal with Fang Qingyue's identity?"

The Queen smiled softly, her expression gentle: "I think it would be a good idea to give her the title of Princess Fang Qingyue."

"In this way, Madam Fang is no longer an ordinary woman."

"With her royal title, Lord Shen can interact with important officials in the court more openly."

"Besides, this can also prevent some people in the court from criticizing the Marquis's future promotion. Why not do it?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "Granting her the title of princess is a good idea."
