"The fourth brother will be very happy!"
Helian Jue said confidently.
Xie Yuanyi's forehead creased with annoyance: ...Happy?
Why is the Fourth Prince so happy?
He just became an uncle, not a father by accident!
Pah! Pah!
What do you mean by "becoming a father unexpectedly"? Xie Yuan felt that he might have been poisoned by the "pregnancy brain" phenomenon, and his brain had become so fuzzy.
However, judging from Helian Jue's childish appearance, he's probably not much better.
Let him be!
I just hope the fourth prince won't be provoked and cause any more trouble.
In the darkness, a pigeon flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
The next morning, Princess Xu got up for her morning exercise as usual.
In the martial arts training ground in the backyard of the Prince Yong's mansion, Princess Xu practiced with great seriousness, wielding both a sword and a spiked club.
Fine beads of sweat began to appear on his fair forehead.
Just then, a faint sound came to my ears.
Having already gained experience, Princess Xu picked up the silver whistle hanging around her neck and blew it directly.
A moment later, a white pigeon with gray spots landed in the courtyard.
Princess Xu skillfully removed the paper tube from the pigeon's claws, then handed the pigeon to the maids beside her, instructing them to feed and water the pigeon.
Holding the paper tube in her hand, Princess Xu carefully examined the seal on it and nodded: "The handwriting of the King of Yue."
Since it was written by the King of Yue, even if it was meant for her, Princess Xu would have given it to the Fourth Prince first.
This is the way of getting along as a couple that she learned from Xie Yuan—no matter how capable a wife is, she must respect her husband who is not as capable as herself.
"Your Highness, a message from Prince Yue via carrier pigeon."
After finishing her training, Princess Xu wiped away her sweat, washed up, changed into clean clothes, and returned to her bedroom.
In the main bedroom, the fourth prince was sleeping soundly.
If you listen closely when you get closer, you can hear faint snoring.
Princess Xu knelt by the bedside and called out softly.
"Who? Helian Jue? And what does he want now?"
The words "Your Highness the Prince of Yue" immediately jolted the Fourth Prince awake.
He sat up abruptly, looked out the window, and saw that the sun had just risen.
Pigeons are flying in so early; judging by the distance, they must have been released last night.
Delivering a message in the middle of the night?
What could be so urgent?
Although the fourth prince is not very reliable, he is not really a fool.
He knew Helian Jue's character and habits; this man wasn't one to make a fuss over nothing.
Such urgency must mean something big is about to happen.
Has something changed in the capital?
That's impossible.
Their Prince Yong's Mansion also had spies in the capital.
Not to mention, his own mother, Consort Cui, lived in the palace.
And then there's General Xu, the father-in-law, who is a confidant of the emperor.
If there were any disturbances in the capital or among the emperors, my father-in-law would definitely write to them.
In the letter, the father-in-law would not say it outright, after all, spying on the emperor's whereabouts and leaking secrets are major taboos in officialdom.
My father-in-law wouldn't do anything stupid.
However, he would mention some "trivial matters" in his letters, and Princess Xu, who was familiar with Xu Liang, would deduce the corresponding accidents from her father's casual remarks.
A few days ago, my father-in-law wrote a letter mentioning an interesting anecdote from the past.
The astute Princess Xu, after reviewing the imperial gazette she received, concluded that Jia Yi, a commoner, had been appointed prime minister by the emperor.
The three-prime minister structure was broken, and power was divided among five ministers.
Jia Yi is a stubborn and extreme man. Once he gains power, he will surely cause a great disaster.
Last night, when the couple were chatting, Princess Xu said that she wanted to write a letter to her sister, A Yuan, to warn her to be careful of Jia Yi, a villain and hypocrite.
However, Princess Xu also said that judging by the time, Sister Yuan was about to give birth, so it was best not to disturb her with these trivial matters.
Wait, she's about to give birth!
The fourth prince, who never liked to think about problems, was unusually bright today.
He suddenly guessed the purpose of Helian Jue's letter.
Although it seems unlikely, Helian Jue, oh, what a proud and arrogant person he is.
How could someone do something as childish as "announcing good news"?
While thinking this, the Fourth Prince's hands did not stop. He quickly opened the paper tube and took out a slip of paper from inside.
When his gaze fell on those few lines of text, the Fourth Prince was first startled, then disbelieving, and then deeply envious.
Waaah, four babies in one pregnancy, two dragons and two phoenixes.
Brothers and sisters, all gathered together in one go.
Other powerful and wealthy families, even with all their wives, concubines, and maids combined, might not have the "good fortune" of Helian Jue.
No, let's not talk about other families, it's about Helian Huang—
Slowly, slowly, the Fourth Prince's gaze fell upon Princess Xu.
Princess Xu suddenly shuddered, and the hairs on her neck stood on end.
What's wrong?
What triggered the Fourth Prince?
Princess Xu was puzzled, but still wore a gentle smile. "Your Highness, what did Prince Yue say?"
"He said he's a father!"
The fourth prince said softly, his voice tinged with melancholy.
Princess Xu: ...What kind of tone is that? Princess Yue giving birth is a good thing.
"That's great! I've been calculating the time, and Sister Yuan should be giving birth soon! She's carrying more than one child."
Twins are very likely to be born prematurely.
Although Princess Xu was not pregnant yet, her mother told her a lot of common sense when she wrote to her.
Princess Xu was also accompanied by many old nannies.
Princess Xu had heard the old nanny mention it during a casual chat.
"By the way, is it the young prince or the young princess?"
