Outside, Huo Qijing paced back and forth anxiously, stopping from time to time to listen quietly to the sounds inside.

Meng Min kept comforting her, Mammy gave her instructions again and again, and she cried and cried in pain until her voice became hoarse...

Huo Qijing was so anxious that sweat appeared on his forehead. He couldn't help but hold on to the window and begged, "Ayue, can I go in and accompany you?"

"No!" She didn't know where she got the strength from, and shouted out the window: "If you dare to come in, I will fight you... to the death! I will never see you again!"

In this respect, she is more like the Imperial Concubine.

If it was Meng Min, she would probably hope that Yan Chengyuan would go in to accompany her, and she might even feel very touched... But her? In front of Huo Qijing, she must be a little fairy all her life, and she would never let him see her grinning.

Of course Huo Qijing knew her temper very well and did not dare to force his way in. He could only wait anxiously and continued to walk back and forth, walking faster and faster.

His cold father-in-law finally couldn't help himself and shouted, "Don't move! Stand still!"

Huo Qijing responded silently, stood there for a while, and then couldn't help but start walking.

People in the palace ran back and forth, and Yan Shiyue was in pain for more than two hours. Just after midnight, she heard a baby crying. Her eldest son was finally born... After a while, the younger daughter was born as well.

...

...

Even Meng Min couldn't help laughing and said, "No wonder he didn't come out for so long, it turns out he was waiting for the first day of the new year!"

Huo Qijing was grinning from ear to ear. The nanny brought the child out for them to see. Huo Qijing's hands were stiff and he didn't dare to hold the child. Yan Chengyuan took the child skillfully, hugged him, and said with a smile, "It looks like Yue'er."

The two children were clean, with very little placenta on their heads. They were exactly the same when they were born and looked like Yan Shiyue. They inherited the Meng family's peach blossom eyes with pointed corners and curled ends. Even with their eyes closed, one could see a curved line. They were so beautiful.

Seeing that Huo Qijing was only concerned with the child, Sun Wuniang had to turn around and signal Qing Weiluo. The young couple prepared to reward the servants and report to the palace.

Soon, the news spread.

Princess Fuyan gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Born in the Zizheng period, if it was a normal day, this time might not be a good time, but this is the first day of the new year! When everything is new, there are no taboos, and they are twins, which once again confirms the identity of the goddess of fortune.

Yan Shiyue's belly wasn't really big, much smaller than the Imperial Concubine's at the time, but she didn't grow any flesh, so her belly looked scary. As a result, both babies weighed nearly five pounds, and were easy to raise, which made the family members feel relieved.

When the queen heard this, she joked, "It's really thin skin but big filling!"

As a result, Yan Shiyue got an inspiration, so the eldest son of the Huo family was given a nickname, Jiaozi, and the eldest daughter was named Nian Gao.

Fortunately, the child's father was reliable. Since the child was born in the New Year, Huo Qijing did not choose those uncommon characters and named his eldest son Huo Yuxin. The eldest daughter also followed the Yu generation name and was named Huo Yuchu.

In fact, things like children are quite magical. When Yan Shiyue was just born, she didn't feel real at all. No matter what others said to the child: your mother is like this and that... she always subconsciously looked at Meng Min.

As a result, she took the baby in her arms, held it, fed it, and she didn't know why, but her maternal love suddenly overflowed and she loved the baby so much. When she didn't see the baby for a while, she missed the baby so much that when the wet nurse came to take it back, she felt like someone was trying to snatch the baby away and she was reluctant to give it away.

For several days in a row, the Duke's Mansion was filled with joy.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Ming Yan came quietly to the Duke's Mansion.

He had heard from many people that the scenery of the Duke's Mansion was very special, but he had never been there to see it.

Huo Qijing and Qing Weiliao were not at home. When Sun Wuniang heard that the emperor was coming, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she hurried out to kneel down.

Emperor Mingyan just waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. I'll go see Yue'er."

Linlang had already come out to greet him, bowed and led him in. Before Emperor Mingyan entered her "Zhenjin Wan", he heard her screaming in pain.

Emperor Mingyan paused: "What is this?"

Linlang said: "The master is giving a massage."

"Oh," Emperor Ming Yan understood. This person was probably sent by the Queen. The Queen pressed like this when she gave birth. She insisted on pressing even though her face turned pale with pain.

Emperor Ming Yan said helplessly: "Why waste this time!"

He didn't go in, but went to look at the child, hugged him, and said with a smile: "He looks exactly like Yue'er when she was a child. Have you given him a name?"

Linlang replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the young master's full name is Huo Yuxin, and the young lady's full name is Huo Yuchu. The nicknames were given by the master. The young master's name is Jiaozi, and the young lady's name is Nian Gao."

"Okay," Emperor Mingyan said with a smile, "It's like the name Yue'er gave."

He sat for a while, and was quite interested so he asked Ding Xiaoyan to take him for a stroll in the yard. When he came back and heard that Yan Shiyue had cried and fallen asleep after the massage, he left quietly.

Only Sun Wuniang was left in shock. Even after many days, her heart was still filled with emotions like "I saw the emperor!" and "This is what the emperor is like!"

After the Lantern Festival, the seal was opened. After the morning court session, Xu Wenqu asked to see Emperor Ming Yan and presented the second volume of the Biography of Empress Fu.

The story continues from the previous chapter and ends with the story of Empress Fu giving birth to twins, a boy and a girl. People didn't even notice it during their daily lives, but when they actually read it, they find it very thrilling.

Emperor Mingyan flipped through it and said with a smile, "Yes, Xu Qing is thoughtful."

But he did not say whether to publish it, and just kept it beside him. Xu Wenqu certainly did not ask him, so he withdrew respectfully.

Yan Shiyue was completely unaware of this.

In this matter, Xu Wenqu agreed readily but refused to change his mind. Just like the daily notes written by the attendant would not be shown to the emperor, his biography of Empress Fu would not be shown to Empress Fu herself. This was probably a small persistence of a scholar.

Yan Shiyue stayed in the room to recuperate after giving birth.

Because she gave birth to twins, she had to lie in bed for more than forty days before she was allowed to get out of bed.

Yan Shiyue immediately asked someone to boil some water and took a nice bath. Only then did he feel like he was alive again.

Fortunately, the massage techniques of the maids of this era are still very good. Anyway, after one and a half months, her belly has shrunk successfully, and there is no loose feeling. It feels good to touch. But the process is very painful, comparable to giving birth to a baby a day.

As a result, when she went out for a stroll with a refreshed look, she met the dirty Huo Qiyang. When she asked him, Huo Qiyang said calmly: "Sister, I just finished the examination. I think I answered well."

Yan Shiyue: “…”

So during her confinement period, she even finished the examination? ?

At night, while feeding her baby, she asked Huo Qijing why he had kept it a secret from her. Huo Qijing then calmly said, "I told you."

She firmly denied, "No!"

Huo Qijing said patiently: "I really did say that. I said Ayang and Ren Zenan both went to take the exam."

She had no recollection of it: "No, you remembered it wrong!"

Huo Qijing looked at her for a while, then smiled and nodded: "Maybe I remembered it wrong."

He sat down beside the couch, hugged her, and kissed her gently: "It's all my fault, my wife." He sniffed deeply and kissed her again.

After a month of confinement, Yan Shiyue's face became pink and tender, with a scent of milk. Just smelling her or kissing her would make one feel so comfortable that one's soul would melt. Therefore, Huo Qijing has developed a conditioned reflex of: You are right, muah da da da...
