Chapter 231 What? There's another one in the belly?

What?

There's another one?

No wonder she felt her belly was so round and big!

Shen Chaoyan was in a daze, listening to the words of the midwife, and could only grit her teeth and continue giving birth.

Soon, another loud cry came to her ears.

"It's out! It's a little princess!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty, for giving birth to two children at once!"

Sikong Yan had been guarding outside the bedroom.

Hearing the crying coming from the hall, he couldn't wait any longer, and immediately wanted to rush in to see the situation.

At this moment, the door in front of him was opened from the inside.

Two midwives walked out, each holding a baby in their arms.

"Your Majesty, the Queen has given birth to twins for you, a little prince and a little princess. Congratulations, Your Majesty, you now have both a son and a daughter!"

Sikong Yan was stunned.

In fact, during the two hours he stood outside, he had been thinking that no matter whether Shen Chaoyan gave birth to a boy or a girl, he would be happy, as long as the mother and child were safe.

No one would have thought that Shen Chaoyan would give him two children at once!

However, compared to the two children, he was more worried about Shen Chaoyan, "Where is Concubine Hua? How is she?"

"Your Majesty, the Queen is fine, she is just tired."

Grandma Wen stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to hug them?"

Sikong Yan took two steps forward and looked down at the crying babies in Grandma Wen's arms.

After hesitating for a while, he carefully reached out and took both babies from Grandma Wen's hands.

Holding one in each hand.

The children were still very small, their eyes were not open, and they cried loudly with their eyes closed.

Sikong Yan held them, and he didn't even dare to tighten his arms, for fear that using a little more force would hurt them.

It turned out that these were their children.

How great!

He would be a father in the future!

"I heard that Concubine Hua gave birth? This is... two at once?"

The Queen Mother looked at the two babies in Sikong Yan's arms and was stunned.

"Yes, a boy and a girl."

Sikong Yan handed the two children over, and she and Su Qiu each held one. The Queen

Mother looked at this one, then at that one, and liked them more and more, "Good! How great!"

Sikong Yan strode into the bedroom.

On the big bed, Shen Chaoyan was almost exhausted.

Her hair was wet with sweat. Lugua was standing by the bed, carefully wiping her cheeks.

"Let me do it."

Sikong Yan took the wet handkerchief from Lugua.

"Yes."

Lugua glanced at the person on the bed and quietly withdrew.

Shen Chaoyan recognized the man's voice and slowly opened her eyes, "Your Majesty, have you seen the child?"

"Yes."

Sikong Yan reached out and gently brushed away the wet hair on her cheek, and said softly, "Yan'er, you have worked hard."

Shen Chaoyan was weak, but she did not forget to joke with the man, "Yes, I have worked so hard. No wonder people say that giving birth is like going through the gates of hell! I gave birth to two at a time, which is equivalent to going through it twice!"

Seeing that she could still speak several sentences in one breath, Sikong Yan's heart finally settled down.

He leaned over and held Shen Chaoyan's hand tightly, staring at her for a long time, and then he shouted to the outside, "Li Heguang, pass on my decree. Concubine Hua is both virtuous and talented, outstanding, intelligent, and has given birth to a son. From today on, Shen Chaoyan is canonized as the Empress of the Central Palace and is granted the residence of Fengqi Palace."

"Yes!"

Shen Chaoyan was actually seriously exhausted after giving birth to two children.

Her eyelids were already fighting.

She didn't have time to be happy about being named Empress, and she just closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The arrival of the two little babies made the harem more lively than ever. The empress dowager

was particularly fond of these two children. As soon as they were born, rewards were sent to Fengqi Palace one after another.

During Shen Chaoyan's confinement period, someone was specially assigned to take care of the babies.

When the empress dowager didn't see the two little guys one day, she sent someone to inquire about it.

On this day, Sikong Yan came to see Shen Chaoyan after the morning court.

He happened to meet Su Qiu who came to bring nourishing soup to Shen Chaoyan.

Sikong Yan knew that during the six months when Shen Chaoyan was pregnant, the empress dowager was very concerned about Shen Chaoyan, a pregnant woman. She would personally ask about her diet every now and then, fearing that she would have any accidents.

Now that the two children are safely born, the empress dowager is more concerned about Shen Chaoyan and the two children than before.

Shen Chaoyan thought for a while, and said to Sikong Yan, "Your Majesty, I want to sleep for a while. Why don't you take the two little guys to Shoukang Palace to see the empress dowager."

"Okay."

Sikong Yan understood what Shen Chaoyan meant.

The Queen Mother had waited so long for the arrival of the little grandson, so naturally she hoped to spend more time with him.

So Sikong Yan carried the two little guys who were still sleeping soundly in their cradles to Shoukang Palace. The Queen Mother

was very happy to hear that they were here. As soon as

she put the little guys in her arms, they woke up.

With their round eyes, they looked at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother looked at them and was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, "These two little things are so adorable! They look exactly like the emperor when he was a child! By the way, have you chosen their names?"

Sikong Yan shook his head, "Not yet, does your mother have any good suggestions?"

During this time, he and Shen Chaoyan thought of many names, but they were rejected one by one.

He was planning to decide on the names of the two children before they were one month old, because then he would hold a ceremony to crown them as queen.

The Queen Mother heard this and smiled, "I do have an idea. You listen to it. If you are not satisfied, think about it again." As she spoke

, she lowered her eyes to look at the pair of babies in her arms, "The elder brother will be named Sikong Chen, and the younger sister will be named Sikong Nian. I hope the boy will be as bright and dazzling as the stars. The girl will be named Sikong Nian. Whatever you think of in your heart is your thought. If you keep thinking about it, there will be a response."

After hearing her words, Sikong Yan nodded and said, "It is the Queen Mother who named them. The name is very good, I think Yan'er will like it too. " The Queen

Mother smiled and said, "The Queen gave birth to the eldest prince and the little princess for you, you must treat her well. By the way, how is the preparation for the enthronement ceremony going?"

Sikong Yan replied, "Everything is ready." The

Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, with a look of relief on her face, "The emperor is now doing things more and more gracefully, I am very relieved."

Before, Sikong Yan had few children, and she was worried about expanding the harem and holding the grandson as soon as possible.

Now that Shen Chaoyan gave birth to the eldest prince, her heart can finally settle down.

Sikong Yan left the two children in Shoukang Palace and prepared to return to Fengqi Palace to accompany Shen Chaoyan more.

However, he ran into Concubine Hui when he was halfway there.

Concubine Hui, who had no one with her, knelt down and saluted to him, "Your Majesty."

Sikong Xun saw her suddenly perform such a great ceremony and immediately said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so polite. Stand up."

But Concubine Hui knelt in front of him without moving. Instead, she straightened her back and said, "Your Majesty, I want to talk to you alone."
