When Xie Yuansheng had his first child, he felt endless pain and could hear the clear cry of a newborn.
When she was giving birth to her second child, she was also quite lucid when she heard the midwife say, "It's a little girl!"
They have a son and a daughter.
Xie Yuan felt very satisfied.
By the third one, she was starting to feel weak and her consciousness was becoming blurred.
Yet, faint sobs could still be heard, along with the midwife's joyful congratulations: "Another baby boy!"
Great, two sons now, double insurance!
Xie Yuan was completely relieved.
Gradually, her consciousness seemed to detach from her body.
Only after hearing the last cry did she feel relieved, her head tilting to the side as she drifted off to sleep.
Indistinctly, she seemed to hear Helian Jue roaring—
"Ah Yuan! Ah Yuan!"
"What's wrong with the princess? Why have she closed her eyes?"
"She, she—"
"Quickly! Go and check the Princess's pulse! If anything happens to the Princess, I will make you all pay with your lives!"
Xie Yuan was annoyed and wanted to shout "Shut up!"
But she really had no strength left and fell into a deep sleep.
Physician Feng: ...Waaah, His Highness the Prince of Yue is so cruel.
Seeing his sinister eyes and hearing his violent voice, even though Physician Feng had been in the Prince Yue's mansion for two years and had long been a confidant of Princess Xie, he was still feeling uneasy.
Your Highness, please be careful that nothing bad happens to you.
The lives of myself and my entire family are all in your hands.
If you leave, the prince will truly go mad.
With trembling hands, Physician Feng placed his hand on Xie Yuan's pulse.
Then, Physician Feng's eyes lit up.
Then, he lifted Xie Yuan's eyelids and looked at him carefully.
"How are you? Is the Princess alright?!"
"She, she—"
Helian Jue's face was deathly pale. He didn't even glance at his four children who were placed to the side, his eyes fixed on Xie Yuan.
Physician Feng quickly stood up, bowed, and respectfully reported, "Your Highness, the Princess Consort is exhausted from childbirth and is now asleep."
So, this isn't fainting, it's a deep sleep!
His pulse and breathing were perfectly normal.
As the midwife just mentioned, the placenta and everything else have been expelled smoothly.
There was no major bleeding, and nothing unexpected happened.
None of the contingency plans the princess had prepared were used.
The Li ethnic witch doctor whom Helian Jue had "invited" from the tribe was also secretly amazed: as expected of the princess, a true noblewoman, she gave birth to four children in one go without even a tear.
Fortunately, Granny Zhao was unaware of the oddly dressed midwife's thoughts, otherwise she would definitely have said something like:
"Of course, my young lady has done countless good deeds in Lingnan alone."
"She is protected by God, and the ancestors of the Xie family are watching."
Zhao Mama didn't have time to think much at the moment. She helped Xie Yuan get ready and then called over the wet nurse she had arranged in advance.
At that time, it was suspected that Xie Yuan might be carrying more than one child.
Therefore, several wet nurses were found.
Granny Zhao looked at the list and randomly arranged the shifts, with two wet nurses looking after each child.
After cleaning her up, she was wrapped in swaddling clothes and then shown to Helian Jue.
Helian Jue: ...These four tiny, wrinkled little things are my and Ayuan's children.
Why is it so ugly?
They were all like little old men and women.
"The children are so beautiful! The young men look like princesses, and the young women look like princes!"
Helian Jue's eyes widened. This person is good-looking?
What's with this about the son resembling A-Yuan and the daughter resembling him?
Is this Granny Zhao getting old and her eyesight failing?
Or are they just lying through their teeth?
Disbelief was clearly written on Helian Jue's handsome face.
Upon seeing this, Granny Zhao smiled and said, "Your Highness, you don't know this, all babies look like this when they are born."
After soaking in amniotic fluid for more than eight months, it must be all wrinkled.
"After a while, once they've fully grown, they'll all look beautiful!"
Granny Zhao wasn't just blindly praising someone.
The redder a newborn's skin is, the whiter it will be as the baby grows up.
Besides, both the young lady and the prince are so good-looking, how could their child be anything less?
"Is that really the case?"
Helian Jue was skeptical.
He looked at each of his four children one by one.
Perhaps it was Zhao Mama's words that had an effect, or perhaps it was the blood relation, but Helian Jue found these four little ones particularly pleasing to the eye.
Even if it's ugly, it's still adorably ugly.
"Don't worry! Even if my child with A-Yuan is still ugly when he grows up, he will still be the most precious person."
Whether you're getting married or marrying, you'll get the best!
"Alright, carry them away."
Helian Jue waved his hand, signaling the wet nurses to leave.
He stayed by the bedside, watching over Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan slowly opened his eyes at dusk.
Where are the children?
She instinctively reached out and touched her surroundings, but there was nothing there!
Xie Yuan was startled and blurted out a shout.
Jinzhi and Ruyi, the two maids who had been guarding the room, rushed over when they heard Xie Yuan's voice.
"Your Highness, you're awake!"
"How are you feeling? Would you like some water or something to eat?"
The two spoke at the same time, and their voices became somewhat disordered.
Xie Yuan, however, disregarded all of that. He waved his hand, and seeing that the two had quieted down, he hurriedly asked, "Where's the child?"
"Oh, right! How many children did I have in total?"
Was it three or four?
