After walking around for a while, and seeing that it was getting dark, Su Qinghe turned around and headed back.
Once she arrived at the manor, she visited Lin Xi and Ji Yuan separately.
Both of them needed to be in postpartum confinement, but luckily they lived close by, otherwise it would have been troublesome for Su Qinghe to travel back and forth every day.
With two little ones added to the family, it felt much livelier than usual. Almost every day, the group would gather at Lin Xi and Ji Yuan's room for a chat.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the two of them did not encounter any problems during the most critical period.
Su Qinghe had long ago had curtains installed around the pavilions in the middle of several courtyards, so that not a single breeze could get in.
Afterwards, a huge soft cushion was placed inside, and Lin Xi and Ji Yuan finally came out of the room where they had stayed for half a month, completely wrapped up.
The two midwives gathered together, and the two little ones who had already opened their eyes also gathered together, which aroused the curiosity of everyone, who looked at this one and then at that one.
Inside the pavilion, the two little ones had been released from their soft swaddling clothes and were now sprawled out on the large soft cushion.
They were only half a month old and didn't have the energy to make a fuss. They could only open their eyes wide and look around at the people surrounding them.
In just half a month, their faces had become quite chubby, and their little heads were round. They wore little hats that Lin Xi and Ji Yuan had sewn by hand, which made them very endearing.
"My lady, it's been half a month, have you decided on a name yet?"
After teasing her for a while, Lin Xi asked Su Qinghe a question, and the others looked at her expectantly.
Su Qinghe stroked her chin and said with a smile, "I didn't think of anything too complicated. I just came up with a few single-character names: Wang, Cheng, Jin, and Le."
"They all have auspicious meanings, and I haven't figured out how to divide them. How about we let the two of them grab each other?"
Lin Xi and Ji Yuan both nodded in agreement, and the others naturally had no objections either. As long as it was Su Qinghe who made the choice, they were all happy with it.
So Su Qinghe immediately had someone bring in a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. Ji Yuan ground the ink for her, and she took four sheets of Xuan paper, picked up the brush, and wrote the two characters on them.
After the ink dried completely, Su Qinghe crumpled the four sheets of paper and held them in her two hands.
Because the two little ones didn't have much strength, Lin Xi and Ji Yuan had to hold them and sit them on their laps.
"Big Bao first," Su Qinghe said, placing both hands in front of Lin Xi's child. "Little one, you choose first."
"Hmm!"
As if in response to Su Qinghe, the child in Lin Xi's arms suddenly let out a loud whimper, instantly amusing everyone.
Lin Xi smiled gently. Seeing that the little one in her arms hadn't moved for a while, she quickly helped lift her arm so that her hand could touch each of the crumpled papers.
The new sight instantly piqued the little guy's curiosity. He stretched out his little hand and reached towards Su Qinghe's left hand.
"Ah... um..."
The little girl babbled incoherently as she picked up a small, trembling piece of paper, clenched it in her hand, and then it rolled to the ground with a tumble.
"This is it."
Su Qinghe made up her mind immediately, picked up the crumpled paper at her feet, unfolded it, and found the character "望" (wang, meaning "to look").
"Wang means both hope and fame, both are good. From now on, you will be called Su Wang!"
Su Qinghe explained the meaning behind it and handed the crumpled paper to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi happily accepted it and kept teasing Su Wang with it.
"Little Wang'er! Little Wang'er!"
After a few fresh shouts, the group began the next round.
With three crumpled pieces of paper left in her hand, Su Qinghe turned around.
Erbao quickly made his choice, grabbing a crumpled piece of paper with his chubby little hands and refusing to let go.
She had a silly grin on her face, her mouth stretched wide, and drool dripped from her mouth onto her bib.
Su Qinghe unfolded it and saw the character "乐" (le), which seemed very fitting for the occasion.
"Happy, carefree, peaceful and joyful!" Su Qinghe said with a smile, handing the crumpled paper to Ji Yuan.
With that, the names of the two little ones were decided, and everyone was very satisfied.
Ling Feng glanced at the other two crumpled pieces of paper in Su Qinghe's hand and slowly spoke.
"These two are also good. Should we keep them? I should give birth in about two weeks."
Lin Xi and Ji Yuan both nodded. "It's indeed good, and it saves the mistress from thinking about it for a while longer."
Su Qinghe naturally wouldn't refuse their suggestion, as it would save her trouble.
She thought for a moment and looked at Ling Feng.
"I just don't know if it will be a girl or a boy. These names are all chosen based on girls' names. I think all the boys in the Su family will have names with the character 'shuang' in their names."
Ling Feng rubbed his stomach, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. "If it were a boy, then it would just be that we're not meant to be."
Su Qinghe smiled and put the crumpled paper aside.
"Anyway, you're not just having this one child; you'll eventually have a daughter. If you really like those two words, I'll save them for you."
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng nodded slightly.
Once the matter was settled, everyone started calling the two little ones by their new names.
Lin Xi and Ji Yuan hadn't seen each other for half a month, and both had given birth on the same night. When they met again, they were both filled with emotion, as if they had endless things to say to each other.
When it was lunchtime, seeing that the group was still in high spirits, Su Qinghe simply had lunch laid out inside.
After finishing their meal, the group chatted for a while until Lin Xi and Ji Yuan both felt sleepy before dispersing.
In the days that followed, the group would gather at the pavilion almost every day.
Newborn babies grow very quickly, changing almost every day. Everyone witnessed these changes firsthand.
As time went on, Su Wang and Su Le became more and more lively and adorable, and their strength also increased significantly. Gradually, they were able to support themselves on their limbs and move slowly on the soft mat.
As the two cubs grew, Ling Feng's due date gradually approached.
As the six-month mark drew closer, Ling Feng began to feel a bit nervous, staring at his belly for a long time every night before bed.
But his belly remained flat, even after six months.
Just when Su Qinghe was starting to get anxious, he felt the effects one day after lunch.
No one had left the table yet, and Qin An was even holding a small lamb rib in his hand.
"Su Qinghe, I... Ouch!"
Ling Feng looked pained and wanted to tell Su Qinghe, but he was too hurt to speak.
Su Qinghe reacted quickly, picking the person up in her arms and rushing towards the already prepared operating room.
"Call all those people over here!"
Without Su Qinghe's instructions, Lin Xi and the others quickly began making arrangements.
After entrusting Su Wang and Su Le to their personal servants, the rest of the group followed after them.
Inside the operating room.
Those who had been trained for nearly half a month were already waiting inside.
Su Qinghe gently laid Ling Fengping on the operating table and began to undress him.
Ling Feng was in so much pain that his whole body was drenched in cold sweat, but he remained conscious.
Seeing the strange surroundings and the various knives neatly arranged beside him, he seemed to know what Su Qinghe was about to do.
