Chapter 95 The Arrival of the Twins
The next morning, the news that Zhen Huan had twins spread throughout the harem. When the Queen Mother heard about it, she nodded happily and said, "Great, great! The harem is finally bustling again."
Nian Shilan, Shen Meizhuang and others who also received the news were even more happy. They happened to be in Yikun Palace at that time, and Shen Meizhuang was still worried about Zhen Huan.
When they heard the news from the palace maids, they were moved to tears: "Where is Huan'er? How is Huan'er? When will she be able to come back?"
"Your Majesty, I heard from the eunuch who just came to announce the good news that you are doing well. The Emperor has already sent people to take good care of you. When your Majesty Wanpin feels better, she will be brought back to the palace."
"That's good, that's good."
"Empress Hua, we're going to be mothers again. Are you happy?"
They had said before that no matter who gave birth to the child, they would treat him/her as their own. In particular, Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu had discussed privately that since Concubine Hua had no children of her own, they could not let her feel lonely. Even after Princess Shuhe was by her side, their thoughts did not change.
“Sister Shen, you guys are thoughtful.”
Nian Shilan was very clear about how good Zhen Huan was to her, and there was no interest involved at all. This made her feel a little warmth in this deep palace full of calculations.
"Hey, you know what, Wanpin is a blessed person after all. Look, I was wondering why her belly was bigger than an average person's. I thought it was because the fetus had grown bigger, but I never expected that it was actually twins. It's really enviable."
Concubine Jing's eyes were full of envy, but more of it was loneliness.
She never had a child of her own to accompany her in her life. She saw other people having hope, but she had nothing now.
"My Lady, you can't just sit there idle. These kids will definitely give you a headache when the time comes."
Nian Shilan saw through Concubine Jing's inner thoughts at a glance. She was the same as herself back then. She winked at Chen Meizhuang. The tacit understanding they had established for such a long time made Chen Meizhuang immediately understand what Nian Shilan meant.
She immediately placed Princess Jinghe in the hands of Concubine Jing. The laughter from the child quickly dispelled the loss in Concubine Jing's heart.
Of course, some are happy and some are sad.
Compared to the bustle of the Yiku Palace, the atmosphere in the Queen's Jingren Palace and Concubine Qi's Chuxiu Palace is not so relaxed.
"Bitch, bitch, why doesn't Zhen Huan, this bitch, just die?"
When Concubine Qi heard the news, she was so angry that she smashed everything at hand.
Zhen Huan had always been favored by the emperor, and now that she had given birth to twins, who in the palace could shake her position?
"My dear, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."
Although the personal maid was very afraid of the current Concubine Qi, she still stepped forward to remind her dutifully.
It's a big deal that Concubine Wan just gave birth to a child, and it's a huge joy for the Emperor. If rumors that are unfavorable to Zhen Huan spread from Chuxiu Palace, given the Emperor's current mood, he will definitely not let anyone in Chuxiu Palace go.
"Come on, follow me to Jingren Palace."
Concubine Qi was not too stupid. She knew that there were people who were angrier than her.
"Empress, this Wanpin..."
Jianqiu told the Queen as soon as she heard the news. Although the Queen's expression did not change after hearing it, as Jianqiu had served her for so long, she knew that the Queen was really angry.
"Jianqiu, it seems that the letters An Changzai sent me before were all to fool me. She must have already rebelled."
Until this point, the Queen still had nothing to understand. An Lingrong did not follow the message she had sent to Penglai Island, and even the message she sent back was false. Her purpose was naturally to protect Zhen Huan.
The Queen was furious. She never thought that she would be wrong. An Lingrong seemed very sensible before, but she turned out to be so useless.
"Jianqiu, go and tell me what I mean. Since An Lingrong is so unfit for my use, I will naturally repay her mother with respect."
"Your Majesty, before An Lingrong left for Penglai Island, she requested your permission to bring her mother out of the An family. Now, there is no one left in the An family for her to care about."
In the past, the Queen would not agree to help An Lingrong do such a thing, but at that time they were about to set off, and in order to let An Lingrong work for her with peace of mind, the Queen agreed to her request. Unexpectedly, she had already started to plot against her at that time.
"Haha, it seems I underestimated her. However, as long as she remains in this world, I don't believe she can hide her mother somewhere I can't find her. Go, arrange for people, and do everything you can to find her mother as soon as possible."
"yes."
"Your Majesty, Noble Lady Qi is here."
"pass."
Concubine Qi walked in led by a palace maid.
"Your Majesty, have you heard about Concubine Wan's birth? What should we do next?"
Concubine Qi's words gave the already angry queen even more headaches.
All of them come to her when they encounter problems. Don’t they have any ideas of their own? They are really useless.
————————————
Here in Penglai Island, Zhen Huan was lying weakly on the bed.
"Congratulations, Madam, on having twins, a boy and a girl. This is a great joyous occasion."
"Congratulations, my lady. Congratulations, my lady."
Everyone knelt there to congratulate Zhen Huan.
"Jinxi, hurry up."
Jin Xi immediately understood what he meant and took out a money bag from the house and gave rewards to everyone. For a moment, the entire Penglai Island was filled with laughter.
"My lady, you worried me to death, and Sister Huanbi, you don't know, Sister Huanbi has been by your side since you started giving birth. After you gave birth, she was worried about the child, so she is staying by the child's side now."
After everyone in the room left, Liu Zhu immediately came to Zhen Huan's side and stared at her without blinking, fearing that something might happen to the person in front of her.
"Okay, okay, I'm fine now, don't cry."
Zhen Huan held Liu Zhu's hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
She knew that her delivery had made everyone very worried, especially these little girls.
"Where's Lingrong? Why haven't I seen her in a while?"
"Mistress An has been with you since you gave birth, and she never closed her eyes. After you gave birth, the servants saw that she looked extremely tired, so they let her go and rest."
"My lord, you're awake!"
At this time, Huanbi, who was in the outer room, heard the noise in the house, and hurried in with the wet nurse, holding the child. She saw Zhen Huan lying there safely, and the stone that had been weighing on her heart was not completely put down until now.
"My lady, please look at the little prince and princess. They are so beautiful."
Huanbi held the child in front of Zhen Huan and asked her to take a closer look.
Just when everyone was rejoicing, Jin Xi walked in: "My lady, Eunuch Su is here."
"This servant pays his respects to Concubine Wan."
“Eunuch Su, why did you come here in person? But the matter in the palace is over?”
When Zhen Huan saw Su Peisheng, she immediately thought of the anxiety she felt before giving birth, and she became extremely anxious.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. It's done. The Emperor has instructed me to bring you some nourishing things. Once Your Majesty is better, we'll bring you back to the palace."
Su Peisheng knew what Zhen Huan was thinking, so he told her immediately when he saw her.
Until Su Peisheng left, Zhen Huan still seemed to be in a dream. The matter was finally over, and the Nian family had gotten through it safely this time. I think Concubine Hua would be much more relieved.
Everything was going in the right direction. Zhen Huan finally fell asleep again out of sleepiness, but she couldn't stop smiling.
