Chapter 105
Xiaoju stood guard beside Shen Qingnian, her face also filled with tension. She secretly prayed in her heart that the child in the Crown Princess's womb would be the eldest grandson of the Emperor!
About fifteen minutes later, Imperial Physician Xu withdrew his hand, and Shen Qingnian immediately asked, "How is it? Is the child in my womb the eldest grandson of the Emperor?"
Physician Xu's expression was solemn. He replied, "Yes and no."
Shen Qingnian frowned, clearly not understanding what Imperial Physician Xu meant.
"What do you mean by 'yes' and 'no'? Imperial Physician Xu, is the baby in our Crown Princess's womb a boy or a girl?" Xiao Ju asked anxiously.
Imperial Physician Xu stroked his beard and said, "The Crown Princess is carrying twins, a boy and a girl."
Upon hearing what Imperial Physician Xu said, Shen Qingnian felt a great weight lifted from her shoulders, and she couldn't help but murmur, "It's good to have the eldest grandson of the emperor."
Calculating the time, she realized that she would be able to leave the capital in just over four months, and a hint of excitement welled up in her eyes at the thought.
Then Physician Xu spoke up again: "Your Highness, twins are really not easy. Not only is premature birth very easy, but stillbirth is also very easy. The chances of dystocia during delivery are also very high. You must be very careful on a daily basis."
If childbirth is like walking through the gates of hell, then giving birth to twins is like sitting in the palace of Yama, the King of Hell. Twins are incredibly difficult to conceive, and the damage to the mother's body is immense.
Shen Qingnian gently touched her lower abdomen, her eyes filled with determination and coldness, and said softly, "My father sent you to the palace so that I could give birth to my children smoothly. I ask Imperial Physician Xu to help me have a safe pregnancy and give birth to twins smoothly."
Physician Xu understood and immediately said, "Your humble servant will prescribe a formula to ensure the safety of the Crown Princess and the twins in her womb."
Shen Qingnian nodded. After a moment of contemplation, she spoke again: "I ask Imperial Physician Xu not to spread the word about my twin pregnancy."
Physician Xu naturally nodded in agreement.
After Physician Xu left, Xiaoju immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Your Highness, you've finally gotten what you wanted! With Physician Xu here, you're sure to have a smooth delivery of your twins!"
She looked even more excited than Shen Qingnian. No one knew better than her the hardships and difficulties the Crown Princess had gone through.
Shen Qingnian gently stroked her swollen belly, her voice softer than ever before: "Heaven has blessed me with twins..."
She wanted to take her daughter with her when she left.
She instructed Xiaoju, "Go and fetch a pen and ink."
I should write to Shen Zheng.
In the letter, Shen Qingnian revealed that she was pregnant with twins and also stated that she wanted to take her daughter with her, asking Shen Zheng to grant her request.
Her daughter was of no use to Shen Zheng; she felt that Shen Zheng would agree anyway.
Sure enough, a few days after sending the letter, she received a reply from Shen Zheng, which contained only one word: "Okay".
When Shen Qingnian received the letter, she couldn't help but tear up, but she quickly composed herself and burned the letter.
At night, Song Xuan returned to the Eastern Palace for dinner.
Shen Qingnian ate her meal in a good mood, her eyebrows raised and the corners of her eyes slightly upturned, making her radiant.
Seeing her happy made Song Xuan happy too.
"Try this asparagus, it's refreshing and delicious," Song Xuan said, placing a slice of asparagus on her plate.
After swallowing the food in her mouth, Shen Qingnian smiled at the man and said, "You should eat more too."
