Qi Yunxiao and Shen Zhongyi were both relieved!
It's born!
It's good that she's given birth...
Shen Zhongyi yelled, "Boy or girl?"
The female healer replied, "It's a young master!"
Then the doctor added, "There's another one in her belly..."
Shen Zhongyi punched his own hand, then spun around excitedly, shouting, "Great! Great..."
As a result, when he turned around, he met Zhao Yuzhu's accusing gaze.
Shen Zhongyi: "...Did I say something wrong?"
Zhao Yuzhu glared at him: "What do you mean boys are better? Are girls not good either?"
Shen Zhongyi said somewhat aggrievedly, "I just feel that if the one in front is a boy or an older brother, then the one behind, whether it's a boy or a girl, will be more fortunate... because they'll be pampered by their older brother!"
"There are older brothers and sisters behind them!" Zhao Yuzhu was annoyed by Shen Zhongyi's thought process and started arguing with him.
During the couple's argument, another shout came from inside: "Another one! It's a girl..."
Qi Yunxiao shouted, "How is my wife?"
This time, it was the imperial physician who replied: "The princess is in good health, Lord Qi, please do not worry."
The imperial physician was on standby the whole time. Although the curtain was drawn, the physician could see Shen Qingyu’s face and take her pulse.
Before long, the inside was cleaned up, and the two swaddled babies were brought out to be seen by Shen Zhongyi and his wife and Qi Yunxiao.
Seeing the two rosy-cheeked children, Qi Yunxiao grinned: So ugly.
His facial features were wrinkled, his eyes were small, and his skin was red...
These are the two children I had with my wife... the children I feel most involved in.
"Can I go in now?" Qi Yunxiao asked, concerned about Shen Qingyu.
"Yes..." The female physician had been with Qi Yunxiao and his wife for several months, and this was not the first time she had heard that Lord Qi valued the princess so much.
Qi Yunxiao strode inside, leaving the two children with his parents-in-law.
Shen Qingyu saw Qi Yunxiao rush in and smiled knowingly.
But the weakness that followed his exhaustion suddenly made Qi Yunxiao feel a lump in his throat.
He walked over, took Shen Qingyu's hand, and suddenly his lips trembled, and his eyes welled up with tears.
Shen Qingyu looked at him in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"
Why are you acting like you're wronged?
Qi Yunxiao was a little embarrassed: "This is the first time I've been there for you during childbirth. I was so scared just now..." scared of losing you.
At the same time, I also felt a deep sense of guilt.
Even with only two people present and such thorough preparations, Shen Qingyu was still so weak and exhausted.
When she gave birth to triplets, there were no imperial physicians, no palace maids, and no one—not herself, her parents-in-law, or anyone else—to accompany her. How did she manage to deliver all three children safely?
It must have been a near-death experience back then, right?
Shen Qingyu understood; memories of the original owner giving birth to triplets flashed through her mind.
That chaos, panic, desperate struggle... the resentment towards Qi Yunxiao, the fear of the future...
Despite her resentment and fear, she still chose to raise all three children without hesitation.
As if an invisible thread had suddenly snapped, Shen Qingyu seemed to hear a sigh in her mind, and she gained a new understanding.
Just a moment ago, the lingering obsession of the original owner dissipated.
Shen Qingyu slowly smiled, sighed, and reached out to stroke Qi Yunxiao's face: "From now on, let's all be well."
Qi Yunxiao nodded repeatedly, but said very firmly, "We will never have any more children!"
"Huh?" Shen Qingyu looked at him in surprise.
His expression was firm: "We already have five children, that's enough. Childbirth is too dangerous, you shouldn't have any more." After saying this, Qi Yunxiao buried his head in Shen Qingyu's palm.
His palms were wet; the man was crying.
Shen Qingyu thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, we won't have any more children."
The imperial physician prescribed a drug to prevent infertility, which Qi Yunxiao swallowed without hesitation.
After finishing the medicine, Qi Yunxiao belatedly realized, "Doctor Hu, after drinking this medicine, will I... be unable to have sex?"
"Don't worry, Lord Qi, this won't affect a man's masculinity."
Having worked in this profession for many years, Physician Hu knew he had to be mindful of this: no man would willingly become a father-in-law after just one bowl of medicine.
Qi Yunxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
The day after the two babies were born, Erbao and the Mad Taoist arrived at Whale Fall Island.
The mad Taoist priest, looking pale and sickly, explained to Shen Zhongyi and Zhao Yuzhu, "I told her everything. Her mother is fine, both mother and child are safe. She even calculated it herself... but she insisted on coming back to see..."
Who understands the agony of seasickness!
Erbao didn't care. Her body adapted very quickly, and she no longer felt seasick on boats. Her legs moved rapidly: "Mom! Sister! Brother! Sister! I'm back..."
She was greeted by her biological father, Qi Yunxiao.
Qi Yunxiao said coldly, "You forgot your father?"
Erbao realized what was happening and quickly put on a smiling face: "Dad, I didn't mean to... Dad! I'm back!"
His smile was so genuine!
Qi Yunxiao had no choice but to let her go, thinking to himself: I must say, seeing all kinds of people and traveling thousands of miles is really a great learning experience.
Erbao has only been following the Mad Taoist for a year, but now he can change his tune as easily as turning the pages of a book. He's incredibly smooth and eloquent!
She used to boast and talk big just because of a few words from others, but now she knows how to read people's expressions and act accordingly.
She ran past Qi Yunxiao and was about to enter the room when Qi Yunxiao called out to her, "Stop!"
Erbao thought he hadn't gotten past his father yet and was about to use the "persuasion" method when Qi Yunxiao reminded him: "Go change and wash up. You've been traveling a long way and your younger siblings are still small. They can't stand the dirty things you brought back from outside."
His tone was very gentle.
Erbao realized what was happening and loudly agreed, "I'll go wash right now! Thank you, Dad!" and hurriedly ran towards the bathroom.
When the second baby came into the room, they were incredibly envious when they saw the older and younger babies lying next to the two small cribs!
"Little brother and sister... I'm here..." Erbao first went to check on the two little ones who were still sleeping after eating, and then snuggled up to Shen Qingyu.
Although Shen Qingyu had recovered quite a bit after a night's rest, Erbao still felt heartbroken and shed tears when he saw her leaning against the headboard with a headscarf on.
"Mother..." the little guy called out, and tears streamed down his face. Without saying anything, he buried his head in Shen Qingyu's arms.
Shen Qingyu's heart softened, and she quickly hugged the little one in her arms: "Mommy's here! You're fine, nothing's wrong."
Erbao cried until her nose and eyes were red, then she felt embarrassed. Xiaohua handed her a hot towel to wipe her face, and she looked at her mother shyly again, muttering softly, "I was just worried..."
“I understand. My daughter is thinking of me…” Shen Qingyu kissed the little girl on the head.
Several months later, her hair had grown back to a considerable length, still damp from being washed.
"Second sister cried! Shame on her!" Xiao Bao teased her.
Erbao glared at him with red eyes: "It's because you're naughty..."
