Chapter 496 Old Oxen

After Wei Yu diagnosed Zhu Xuntao with the good news of twins, Jiang Yijing knelt down in front of the tablets of the Xiao family ancestors to thank them for their blessings.

The queen went directly to the temple to fulfill her vows, thanking the Bodhisattva for loving the world and fulfilling the wishes of their believers.

Zhu Xuntao was the most miserable. It was as if a huge and heavy sandbag was tied to her stomach, pressing her waist and causing pain. She felt uncomfortable every day and looked forward to the day of unloading the "goods".

"Thank you for your hard work

, sister-in-law." Xiao Miluo felt sorry for Zhu Xuntao and herself.

She had already met her ideal person, and after getting married in the future, she would sooner or later get pregnant and have children.

Xiao Miluo didn't ask for anything else, just that she wouldn't be like Zhu Xuntao and get pregnant with two children at once.

She would rather give birth to two children in two batches than have them all at once.

"Aunt."

Finally, as Xiao Jingyu wished, Xiao Chenliang began to study with his teacher, and he had less time to spend with Yang Xiruo and Zhu Xuntao.

Zhu Xuntao was fine, she had many children to "raise", all the chores were taken care of by her, and she was pregnant with two more children, so she never knew how to write the word "lonely".

Yang Xiruo only had one son, Xiao Chenliang.

After Xiao Chenliang became busier than Yang Xiruo and the case in the Dali Temple entangled Xiao Jingyu again, Yang Xiruo became the one with the most leisure and emptiness.

Therefore, Xiao Chenliang had an extra task every day, which was to coax his two mothers after learning from the teacher.

Xiao Chenliang stepped on his little hot wheel legs and ran to a distance of two meters from Zhu Xuntao, slowed down, walked slowly, came to Zhu Xuntao,

bowed to Zhu Xuntao first, and then stretched out his little hands to hug Zhu Xuntao's waist, and even put his face against her:

"Brother and sister, brother is here to see you, stick with me."

As if responding to Xiao Chenliang's words, the two children who were very familiar with Xiao Chenliang's voice stretched out their hands, kicked their legs, and greeted Xiao Chenliang.

Xiao Chenliang was not angry when he was "beaten" by his brothers and sisters. He even smiled foolishly:

"Aunt, when will they come out? I want to take them out to play."

He had been waiting for a long time, until the peaches planted by his aunt were ready to eat. After they were all eaten, he and his aunt harvested a lot of crops together. Everyone was very happy.

Then the great-aunt who lived in the palace gave his aunt a lot of good things.

Xiao Chenliang still remembers that from that day on, his aunt had another name, "Princess Suifu".

"Don't worry, don't rush."

​​Xiao Jingzhan, who had returned to the mansion to look for Zhu Xuntao, happened to hear what Xiao Chenliang said and quickly advised Xiao Chenliang not to talk nonsense.

Zhu Xuntao was pregnant with twins, which made her more likely to give birth prematurely than other pregnant women.

Xiao Jingzhan wished that Zhu Xuntao could be pregnant for ten months like a normal woman, so that mother and child would be safer.

Yesterday, Zhu Xuntao just turned nine months pregnant.

Starting today, Yongjing Marquis's Mansion set up a cordon, ready for Zhu Xuntao to get into trouble at any time.

Zhu Xuntao gave one of her hands to Xiao Jingzhan. Xiao Jingzhan was very strong, and she would feel more comfortable when he supported her:

"Is Uncle Qian's son Xiao Taotao okay?"

"No problem."

Xiao Jingzhan supported Zhu Xuntao and walked carefully: "He was just too naughty, so he crawled fast, and when Auntie Zhan Xiaohua wasn't paying attention, he fell off the bed and hit his head, and got a big swelling."

Zhu Xuntao once reminded everyone that if you hit your head or something, you must be careful and don't be careless.

That's right. After Xiao Taotao hit his head, Uncle Qian hurried to the Marquis' Mansion to consult Doctor Yu.

At the wedding banquet of Zhu Yingyan and the Fifth Prince, Uncle Qian finally chose to die rather than hurt Zhu Xuntao.

Afterwards, Zhu Xuntao naturally would not hold Uncle Qian responsible, and even helped Uncle Qian rescue Auntie Xiaohua. In fact

, it was not the people in the Marquis' Mansion who rescued her. It was better to say that the Fifth Prince kept his promise, and the unconscious Auntie Xiaohua was found and carried back near the small village.

So, it's a pity that it was the Fifth Prince who ordered the release.

After this incident, Auntie Xiaohua completely gave up her eldest brother, but Uncle Qian thought the second brother was good, so he let Auntie Xiaohua recognize him back.

After ten months of pregnancy, Auntie Xiaohua finally gave birth to a son for Uncle Qian. Because the child was too naughty, both the nickname and the full name were given by Zhu Xuntao. The full name is Qiancheng and the nickname is Xiaotaotao.

With his wife and children by his side, Uncle Qian is very satisfied with his current life and feels that he is as happy as he can be.

Compared with Uncle Qian, the people in Yongjing Marquis' Mansion should be happier.

After more than a year of hard work, the people in Yongjing Marquis' Mansion have worked hard to eliminate the crisis that Zhu Xuntao knew about.

Old Madam Sheng is energetic every day waiting for Zhu Xuntao to give birth and take care of the child for Zhu Xuntao.

When they heard that Zhu Xuntao had given birth to two children, Madam Sheng and Jiang Yijing were so happy

because the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would not make a fool of themselves because of fighting over the children. They could take care of one child each and there was no need to fight over the children.

Madam Sheng was in good health and could wait for the old marquis to come back. The old couple could reunite in their old age without suffering the pain of separation.

The same was true for Jiang Yijing. When Minister Zhao resigned, the emperor only realized it once and tried to keep him.

When Minister Zhao resigned for the second time, the emperor agreed very happily, and one month after Minister Zhao resigned,

his youngest daughter, Zhao Xiangyao, became the crown princess of the prince.

Minister Zhao resigned, and Zhao Xiangyao became the Crown Princess. All these changes did not make Zhao Fangyu, who had broken his leg, show off. He

wanted to take advantage of Zhao Xiangyao, the Crown Princess's sister, to take revenge on Xiao Jingshen.

Both families knew that Zhao Fangyu broke his leg because he wanted to plot against Xiao Jingshen, but he suffered the consequences. The

Zhao family wanted to settle accounts, but the accounts could not be pinned on the Xiao family.

How did Zhao Xiangyao become the Crown Princess? As a member of the Zhao family, how could Zhao Fangyu not know?

His father's position as minister could not be kept, so what kind of splash could Zhao Fangyu make?

Zhao Fangyu even blamed himself, saying that the reason why his father had to resign at a young age

was because of his scheme against Xiao Jingshen, which caused old grudges between the two families.

It's not surprising that Zhao Fangyu would think so.

Minister Zhao's targeting of the Yongjing Marquis' Mansion and his betrayal of Zhu Xuntao were all affected by this incident.

The Zhao Mansion had fallen to such a state that Zhao Fangyu had no choice but to be honest.

After Minister Zhao resigned, the prince, according to the original plan, went to the emperor to meet with someone who would take Xiao Jingshen's place.

Today, Xiao Jingshen has become the second in command of the Ministry of Revenue in public and the top leader in secret.

Even if the emperor knew about this situation, he turned a blind eye.

Rumors began to circulate in the palace that the emperor had written the abdication edict and was only waiting to pick an auspicious day to throw the heavy burden of the Dayong Dynasty to the prince.

Under the influence of Zhu Xuntao, the emperor also realized the benefits and wonders of old age care.

What is the point of working so hard as a workhorse?

The emperor is already the most noble person in the world. He has power, money, and even women.

The most important point is that the emperor's name has been recorded in the history books as a wise ruler, and he will be admired by future generations. The emperor's life goals have been achieved.

In this case, why does the emperor still want to be a workhorse?
