After the midwives finished, Mu Junyu called in the imperial physicians: "Come in and check the princess's pulse to see if there is anything wrong."
When the imperial physicians entered the inner palace and saw Su Xuening on the phoenix bed, they all showed the same astonishment as the midwives.
Isn't this the eldest princess?
Who is this? Why does the Empress call her Princess?
But she looks so much like the Queen, they're practically identical!
Seeing that they were all standing still, Mu Junyu got angry again: "Cough!"
After Mu Junyu coughed heavily, the imperial physicians immediately stepped forward to check Su Xuening's pulse.
Several imperial physicians took turns checking Su Xuening's pulse, and after a moment bowed to Mu Junyu and reported, "This one..."
The imperial physician spoke, but suddenly didn't know how to address her. He glanced at Su Xuening's face, which was exactly the same as Mu Junyu's, and quickly knew how to address her: "Your Highness, she has just given birth and is still very weak. She needs to rest well."
"Is there anything else wrong with her health?" Mu Junyu asked Su Xuening with some concern.
Seeing how much their Empress cared for the prince, the imperial physicians dared not be negligent and immediately said, "Aside from postpartum weakness and blood deficiency, His Highness is in good health and has no other problems."
Mu Junyu was satisfied, and then looked at the imperial physicians: "Prepare more postpartum recovery medicines, and send them over every day during the princess's confinement period."
"Yes," the imperial physicians replied in unison.
"All of you, get out!"
Mu Junyu dismissed the imperial physician and midwife.
"Your servant (this maid) takes her leave."
The group dared not say a word and bowed as they withdrew.
After they left, Su Xuening looked at Mu Junyu and said, "Mother, actually, my masters and uncles are all very skilled in medicine. They will take care of me, so you don't need to worry about me."
Mu Junyu nodded and looked at Pei Luo and the others again.
"Master." Su Xuening also wanted to formally introduce Pei Luo and the others to Mu Junyu.
When Pei Luo and the others heard Su Xuening call them, they went back into the inner hall.
Su Xuening first looked at Pei Luo, You Yi, and Dao Yi, and introduced them to Mu Junyu: "Mother, this is Pei Luo, my and Yun An's master, this is You Yi, my and Yun An's uncle, and this is Master Dao Yi, my husband Xuan Yuanzhan's master."
After introducing them, Su Xuening introduced Mu Junyu to them: "Masters, Uncle, this is my and Yun'an's mother, Mu Junyu."
"Duanmu Junyu." Mu Junyu looked at Pei Luo and You Yi and formally introduced herself: "We've met before."
Mu Junyu still remembered the bamboo forest when she woke up, and naturally she also remembered Pei Luo and You Yi.
As for Master Daoyi, although she had never met him before, he seemed somewhat familiar to her.
The three immediately nodded to Duanmu Junyu, and Pei Luo, as the representative, said, "Indeed, we have met her. Your Majesty has a good memory."
Duanmu Junyu also nodded to Pei Luo and the other two: "Thank you all for taking care of Xue Ning and Yun An."
Pei Luo glanced at Su Xuening and Su Yun'an and said, "No need to thank me. I treat them like my own children, and taking care of them is my responsibility."
Pei Luo's incredibly sincere words suddenly made Duanmu Junyu feel somewhat ashamed.
This person, who has no blood relation to Xue Ning and Yun An, can treat them like this, while she, as their mother, has not fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother. She is truly irresponsible.
Seeing Duanmu Junyu's forlorn expression, Pei Luo realized he had spoken out of turn and opened his mouth to say something, but then saw Bai Shi return carrying Xiao Bao.
Jinzhu followed behind her.
"Our little treasure is back." Bai Shi held the baby, who had been changed into a new swaddle, with a big smile on her face. "Look how handsome our little treasure looks after being cleaned up."
As Bai spoke, she returned Xiao Bao to Su Xuening's side.
Looking at the clean and tidy Xiao Bao, Su Xuening couldn't help but smile: "He does look much better now."
Other people's newborn babies are all red, but their baby was born clean and white, looking just like a little steamed bun, so incredibly cute.
"That's right, look who gave birth to him. His mother is so beautiful, how could Xiao Bao not be good-looking?" Bai Shi pinched Xiao Bao's fair and tender face, teasing him.
However, the little guy had been sleeping the whole time. He was asleep the whole time when she and Jinzhu were cleaning him, without opening his eyes at all. He was sleeping very soundly.
Su Xuening was embarrassed by Bai Shi's praise, and then formally introduced Duanmu Junyu to Bai Shi: "Mother, this is my and Yun'an's mother, Mu... Duanmu Junyu."
After Su Xuening finished speaking, she introduced Duanmu Junyu: "Mother, this is my mother-in-law, and also Xuanyuan Zhan's mother, Bai Fuya."
Bai quickly stood up and curtsied to Duanmu Junyu.
Before she could even offer her blessings, Duanmu Junyu helped her up, saying, "We're all family, no need for formalities."
Bai was surprised to find that Duanmu Junyu was quite kind.
Although she didn't want to bow, she knew they were currently living under someone else's roof, and since they were on someone else's turf, it was best to be polite.
She just didn't expect that this empress of Xiliang, who looked so dignified, was actually quite kind to them.
Perhaps it's because of Ning'er and Yun'an; is it a case of loving someone because of their loved ones?
Lady Bai stared intently at Duanmu Junyu for a long while, and couldn't help but say with heart-shaped eyes, "Ning'er really does resemble His Majesty. His Majesty's appearance is stunning, just like Ning'er's."
Although they had both lived in the capital of Eastern Chu, this woman rarely went out and seldom attended gatherings, so she rarely saw her.
Of course, she had met him before, and she knew he was very beautiful, but this was the first time she had been in such close proximity to him.
Looking at her up close, I realized she was breathtakingly beautiful! She was like a pure snow lotus atop a snow-capped mountain, so holy and noble, yet so unattainable!
No wonder the man who had previously bewitched General Su dared to bring her back to Eastern Chu even knowing her identity.
Fortunately, they met and had Ning'er. If it weren't for Ning'er, their brat would probably have remained a bachelor for life.
Duanmu Junyu, being reserved by nature, felt a little embarrassed by Bai's praise. Looking at Bai's exquisite and beautiful face, she also praised, "The Princess Consort is also exceptionally beautiful!"
She is also very beautiful, just like a peony, gorgeous and fragrant, a national beauty, a magnificent and grand beauty that makes people feel refreshed and happy just by looking at her!
Upon hearing Duanmu Junyu's address to her, Bai Shi smiled and corrected her, "My husband has passed away, and I am already a Dowager Consort. Ning'er is the Princess Consort."
Duanmu Junyu was slightly taken aback, then quickly corrected herself: "I'm sorry, the Dowager Consort is beautiful too!"
Bai Shi didn't mind her slip of the tongue and teased, "That's right. We used to be known as the two beauties of the capital in Dongchu. Since I can be mentioned alongside His Majesty, I can't be inferior."
