Chapter 115 Sending Silver

Jingyu was a lively and active child. She was held by her nanny, lying in a big red swaddling cloth, looking around with confused eyes.

Compared with Jingyu, Jingyun, who was born half a cup of tea earlier than her, is much quieter. He spends most of the time sleeping, and when he is not asleep, he keeps his eyes open without crying or making a fuss.

Every time Song Yuning saw the two children's very different situations, he would glare at Xiao Yunzhan.

"Now you know, it's your daughter who kicks you in the stomach every time. Look how well behaved your son is, yet you've slandered him several times."

Xiao Yunzhan was criticized heavily and couldn't find the words to refute. He could only laugh and cry, and went to change the diaper of his kicking daughter.

In fact, the two children were taken care of by a wet nurse all day long, but as long as the two children were around, Song Yuning would always ask Xiao Yunzhan to do some work to help take care of the children.

She wanted Xiao Yunzhan to participate in the process of raising the children so that he could like the two children more.

Xiao Yunzhan is not interested in other women now, but who knows if he will change after he ascends the throne. Song Yuning must be fully prepared.

Xiao Yunzhan can have other children, but only her child must receive Xiao Yunzhan's most complete love.

She did this to increase her chances of success for her two children in the future.

The two children's third-day baptism ceremony was held with unprecedented grandeur because of the arrival of the emperor and empress.

Not only had the princes come, but officials of all ranks and ladies of noble birth had also come. Even though Song Yuning didn't go out, she could still hear the hustle and bustle in the front yard.

After three days of feeding, the two children grew a little and the red color on their bodies faded a little, but they still didn't look very good.

But even so, in the eyes of the emperor, empress and others, these two children were still praised a lot.

When the third day bath started, Jingyun didn't cry at first, but just twisted his body uncomfortably. Later, he heard Jingyu crying loudly. Maybe it was the telepathy between the twins, but Jingyun also started crying.

The two children were splashing around in the squeaking basin, and the nanny who was washing the baby was very happy.

The Emperor and Empress added a pair of Nine Dragon and Nine Phoenix bracelets to their respective ringing basins. Following the Emperor and Empress’ lead, several princes also added ringing basins. After a round, the two basins were almost full.

Old Madam Song came back with the child to see Song Yuning and said with a smile, "I just saw it. The Emperor and Empress loved these two children very much. They issued an edict on the spot, conferring the titles of Crown Prince and Princess on them."

Song Yuning lay on the bed, looking at the two sleeping babies, with a gentle smile on her face.

"You are so lucky. You married Prince Xuan and became his principal wife. Your first pregnancy was a boy and a girl, twins. You will have a good life in the future." Old Lady Song also came over to look at the twins.

Song Yuning looked up and saw that there seemed to be a lot of white hair on Old Madam Song's head. She still remembered that when she first saw Old Madam Song, her hair was still black. So many years have passed now.

Old Madam Song came over not to say a few auspicious words to Song Yuning, but to give her some money. Song Yuning understood the tradition of the Song family.

"For such a big happy event, my family has raised 60,000 taels of silver, and we also have two large farms outside the city, totaling 1,000 acres of fertile land, to bring happiness to the young master and the young princess."

Old Madam Song was holding a large box, which appeared to be filled with banknotes and land deeds.

Ever since doing business with Li Jingwen, Song Yuning has almost figured out the Song family's financial situation. In the past few years, the Song family has spent a lot of money.

Now she was sent another 60,000 taels of silver, plus two large farms. Song Yuning calculated in her mind that the Song family might have really suffered a heavy loss.

However, Old Madam Song was still in good health and could probably live another thirty or forty years. With her around, the money would be earned back sooner or later, so Song Yuning took all the money without hesitation.

"Thank you, Grandma."

When Old Lady Song saw Song Yuning accept the money, her eyes narrowed with smiles.

After the third-day bathing ceremony, Song Yuning began her long and boring confinement period. For the first seven days, Song Yuning ate white porridge and vegetarian dishes, without any meat or fish, and even very little salt, without any saltiness at all.

After eating for seven or eight days in a row, Song Yuning felt that the food in his mouth was too bland. Xiao Yunzhan saw that he was really uncomfortable, so he finally added some salt to the dishes served on the second day. Only then did Song Yuning finally get to eat some flavorful food.

There were not so many rules for the next ten days or so, and Song Yuning could also eat some nourishing soups. It was already mid-November by this time, and the first snow of the year had fallen outside.

The heating in the delivery room was turned on early, so it was not cold at all even though she was wearing only a single layer of clothes. Song Yuning's favorite thing was to lie on the edge of the bed and watch the two children blow bubbles.

The redness on the children's bodies, which are more than 20 days old, has disappeared, replaced by white and tender skin. Now the two children have grown up a little and are not as ugly as when they were just born.

So in Song Yuning's eyes, these two children are becoming more and more adorable.

Jingyu is still as naughty as ever. As long as she is not sleeping, her legs and arms will flutter around. Now she can't see anything, but she can already hear it.

Every time he hears someone talking, he turns his head and moves his hands and feet as if to attract attention.

The eldest brother Jingyun was different. Despite being young, he was already very calm. He lay beside Jingyu without crying or making a fuss.

Sometimes when he gets kicked or hit by hands, he is very tolerant and doesn't care at all. He will only frown or cry when he is hurt.

"The little princess is so adorable. Every time I speak, she looks at me. I wonder if she wants me to hug her." Ningshuang brought in a bowl of nourishing soup, her footsteps a little heavier, and Jingyu immediately looked over.

Song Yuning lay on the bed, looking at Ningshuang, and suddenly remembered that Ningshuang and Yuejian seemed to be one year older than her. Now that she was pregnant and had a child, it was time for them to get married.

"Ningshuang, you are eighteen years old this year. I wonder if you have any ideas for the future?" Song Yuning suddenly asked.

Ning Shuang was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, her cheeks flushed slightly: "This servant doesn't want anything, she just wants to be with the princess."

Song Yuning said seriously: "I am serious, you and Yue Jian have followed me since childhood, I really want to consider you two.

If you want to stay with me, I can help you find a manager to marry, and then you can continue to serve in my courtyard.

If you have other ideas and want to go out, I am willing to let you go."

Ning Shuang shook her head seriously: "What this slave said is true. This slave has been serving the princess since she was five years old. This slave does not want to leave her.

As for my marriage, it would be better to wait a few more years. Now I just want to serve the princess and the prince well."

Seeing that Ningshuang really didn't want to get married so early, Song Yuning stopped trying to persuade her and turned around to ask Yuejian what she thought.

Yuejian, like Ningshuang, is unwilling to leave and is also unwilling to get married so early.
