After Yun Xiangye gave birth to twins, Chen Qing and Ye Wanhe came to visit her the next day.
Chen Qing carefully held the little baby girl and chuckled, "You are so lucky to have a son and a daughter in one pregnancy. You have both a son and a daughter at once, and your life is complete."
Yun Xiangye chuckled softly and said, "Fortunately, Nuonuo didn't feel disappointed."
Ye Wanhe said from the side: "You just gave birth, so you must take good care of yourself during the confinement period. Don't be like me and suffer from all kinds of illnesses because I didn't take good care of myself during the confinement period."
Yun Xiangye nodded and said, "Yes, I will take good care of myself during the confinement period."
Ye Wanhe asked, "Have you named the two children yet?"
Yun Xiangye shook her head and said, "Gu Yan did mention names in his letter. I thought I'd wait for him to come back and give the two children full names. The brother will be called Shun Shun and the sister will be called Xin Xin. I hope that everything goes smoothly for Gu Yan, and that they will also have happy lives in the future."
After putting the swaddled baby girl down, Chen Qing smiled faintly and said, "I heard that Lizhou has been enjoying great victories. I think it won't be long before Gu Yan returns victoriously."
Yun Xiangye nodded lightly and said, "Yes."
After giving birth to the children, Yun Xiangye thought that her longing for Gu Yan would be alleviated with the arrival of two children.
But I don’t know if it’s because I gave birth to the child that I became overly worried.
Before Yun Xiangye finished her confinement, she started looking at the account books in the Princess's Mansion and began to learn how to take over the huge family business of the Princess's Mansion.
Keeping myself busy can also reduce my longing for Gu Yan.
The previous assets of the Princess's Mansion and the Gu family were not a small amount. Yun Xiangye, who originally had 80,000 taels of silver notes, felt that she was a rare person in the world with money. When she sorted out the assets of the Princess's Mansion, she understood why Xie Zhixuan always spent 10,000 taels of silver notes every time.
Even if this huge family business was divided equally between Gu Yan and his two younger sisters Jingru and Jingyu, even if they only got one third, it would still be enormous wealth.
What's more, Yun Xiangye has not yet intervened in the management of Renyuan Pharmacy.
Fortunately, Yun Xiangye also got help from Yin Liu, and she sorted out the accounts completely in a month.
After the first month of the year, the two children were one month old. Yun Xiangye would take the two children for a walk in the courtyard on sunny days.
Nuonuo followed Xiao Jingru to a girls' academy in Chang'an City to start her education.
This girls' academy was jointly established by the Crown Princess and Fu Qianran. Yun Xiangye also donated some silver. Lin Bolan and Fu Qianran were both teachers in the academy.
However, Fu Qianran has now taken over the miscellaneous affairs of Prince Xie's household and rarely goes to teach on weekdays.
Lin Bolan was very willing to teach, and after Xu Mengqi gave birth to her eldest son, she also went to the academy to teach.
The academy is run by the Crown Princess, and the teacher is the daughter of Prime Minister Lin. Although the Fu family has been convicted, Fu Qianran's talent is obvious to all. And although Xu Mengqi is the descendant of a military general, she has been well-read since childhood.
There were also several female teachers who were all famous talented women in Chang'an City.
Therefore, officials and their families in Chang'an City were willing to send their daughters to study in schools.
Women's academies are different from other schools. Other schools teach the six arts of a gentleman, but women's academies not only teach the six arts of women, but also needlework, embroidery, medicine, etc.
Whenever Yun Xiangye had free time, she would go to the academy every ten days to teach the girls embroidery techniques, and she was very happy about it.
Nuonuo made many good friends in the academy, but her favorite was her little sister. Every time she came back from school, she would go into the house to look for her little sister.
Yun Xiangye returned from the embroidery workshop today and saw Nuonuo lying beside the cradle and said, "Nuonuo."
Xiao Nuonuo walked over to Yun Xiangye and said, "Mom, can I take my sister to school tomorrow? I love going to school, but I really don't want to leave my sister behind."
Yun Xiangye scratched Xiao Nuonuo's nose and chuckled, "Sister is too young. She'll cry when she's hungry or sleepy, and it'll disrupt the school. When she's three years old, you can take her to the girls' academy."
Xiao Nuonuo uttered, "Mom, I miss Daddy so much. I almost forgot what he looked like."
Yun Xiangye lowered her head and looked at Xiao Nuonuo. "Mother misses your father too, but unfortunately, the bandits are too cunning. There are so many islands over there, so it's impossible to capture them alive..."
"The Crown Princess, the Crown Princess..."
Xueyan returned from outside and said, "News has come from outside. An urgent military report has arrived at the court after traveling thousands of miles. The army led by the Crown Prince has captured Wei Jian's head and will be returning to Chang'an soon."
Yun Xiangye heard Xueyan's words and clasped her hands together and said, "Amitabha, Amitabha."
Yun Xiangye picked up little Nuonuo and said, "Nuonuo, that's great. Your father will be back soon. You can see him now."
Little Nuonuo threw herself into Yun Xiangye's arms and said, "Nuonuo misses daddy so much."
Yun Xiangye smiled softly and said, "It will only take two months for the army to return to the capital."
The great victory in Lizhou boosted the morale of the court. Dasheng had not seen a war for many years, and this great victory also showed that Dasheng had a strong army.
Earlier than the returning army were envoys from several small countries in Southeast Asia.
Yun Xiangye only then realized that when Gu Yan was capturing Wei Jian, he also did not forget to send troops to help several small countries in Southeast Asia to eliminate the pirates of those small countries, so as to prevent pirates from causing trouble for the merchant ships of Dasheng and the small countries in Southeast Asia.
Da Sheng had no intention of intimidating the small countries in Southeast Asia when it suppressed the bandits. However, those small countries were worried and hurriedly sent envoys to give gifts and discuss merchant ship exchanges with Da Sheng.
Your Majesty has always intended to expand Dasheng's merchants and do business with foreign countries. The envoys sent by these small countries in Southeast Asia are exactly what Your Majesty wants. Dasheng has a strong military force, so it is effortless to talk about business.
