While the master and servant were talking, someone outside announced that the emperor had arrived.
Lingyun quickly stood up and knelt to greet him.
When Zhao Yuancheng came in, his eyes were filled with joy. Fu Qianyu smiled quietly, "I just gave birth and feel very weak. I cannot perform the ceremony. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"There's no need for all this formality between you and me. Just lie down."
Zhao Yuancheng sat down next to Fu Qianyu's bed. Coincidentally, the wet nurse came to pay her respects with two children in her arms. Zhao Yuancheng then asked about the children's diet and sleep.
The wet nurse answered all the questions and said that the baby was drinking milk very vigorously. Only then did Zhao Yuancheng feel relieved.
As he said this, he took the child and held him tightly in his arms, and he couldn't stop smiling at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Fu Qianyu had just given birth and couldn't hold the baby, so she could only sit aside and worry.
"Speaking of which, this is the first time that twins have been born in Dajing. For such a happy occasion, I will grant amnesty to the entire nation so that I can pray for the two children."
Fu Qianyu smiled gently, "You love these two children so much, I am a little envious of you."
Zhao Yuancheng laughed heartily, "We're both mothers, so why are you being so stingy and jealous of your own son?"
He paused and continued, "I have already thought of names for the two children. They are Chengtian Zhiyou, Junzi Ruheng, Wenliang and generous, and Stand tall like a mountain. The eldest will be named Jingheng, and the second will be Jingyi. What do you think?"
Fu Qianyu thought about it and smiled, "I like it very much."
"I'm glad you like it." Zhao Yuancheng said happily, "I have asked the Shangyi Bureau to prepare your enthronement ceremony. It will be held together when both children are one month old."
Fu Qianyu's eyebrows were full of spring colors, and she smiled and said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
"There is another piece of good news. Someone from Prince Gong's Mansion just sent in a message saying that your sister is pregnant and has been pregnant for over a month."
"Really? That's wonderful."
Zhao Yuancheng held Fu Qianyu's hand and said with a smile, "Just rest assured and take care of yourself. I have already instructed the Imperial Physician Xun to visit the palace frequently to check your sister's pulse. With him here, your sister will definitely have a safe birth."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration of my sister."
Lingyun stepped forward and said with a smile, "Don't tire the emperor out. Ask the wet nurses to carry the baby away."
Zhao Yuancheng, however, couldn't let go. Looking at his twin sons in his arms, his voice was filled with uncontrollable joy: "With such a big happy event, what's the harm in holding them in my arms every day?"
Fu Qianyu smiled calmly and listened to Zhao Yuancheng say, "Look at how strong these little hands are. They will definitely be good at riding horses and drawing bows in the future. Heng'er, Yi'er, when you grow up, your father will teach you personally."
Seeing this scene, Fu Qianyu was both happy and worried.
Zhao Yuancheng was happy that he loved his children so much, but he was also worried that if he spoiled them too much, he would inevitably fall into the abyss of fighting for the throne in the future.
Zhao Yuancheng looked up and saw Fu Qianyu was distracted. "What's wrong?"
Fu Qianyu came back to her senses and smiled gently, "Nothing, I was just wondering, the Empress has been feeling unwell since she became pregnant. Has the Emperor visited her?"
"Before coming here, I've already checked on the Queen. Although she doesn't look well, the pregnancy is safe. I also asked the imperial physician, and he said she's fine. As long as she rests and recuperates, she'll be able to give birth safely."
Zhao Yuancheng beckoned the wet nurse to take the child away, then held Fu Qianyu's hand tightly. The tenderness in his eyes seemed to melt, but also revealed a sense of fear: "The Queen is safe and sound, but you, on the day of delivery, heard that you wanted to push the palace, I was really scared."
Their eyes met, each filled with warmth. Fu Qianyu's eyes were slightly red as she murmured, "At that time, I didn't care about anything else. I just hoped that the child could be born safely. Fortunately, God favored me."
Zhao Yuancheng reached out and held the person in his arms, full of pity: "I have few children, and these two children are almost the result of your life. No matter what happens in the future, I will protect you and the children."
The atmosphere in the room was warm. Fu Qianyu leaned quietly on Zhao Yuancheng's shoulder, a faint smile on her lips, "With your words, I feel relieved."
Not long after, Zhu Yu came in and reported through the screen: "Your Majesty, a military minister is outside seeking an audience."
"Then I will go back first. You should have a good rest. I will come to see you later."
Fu Qianyu's eyes were full of tenderness. "Yes, I respectfully send your Majesty off."
After Zhao Yuancheng left, Fu Qianyu immediately called Peirong in and asked in a deep voice, "Is the Second Miss pregnant?"
"Yes, I just found out about this too." Peirong nodded with a smile, but noticing Fu Qianyu's unhappy expression, she cautiously asked, "Madam, what's wrong with you? The Second Young Lady's pregnancy is a happy occasion, but why do you seem a little unhappy?"
Fu Qianyu said gravely, "Prince Gong just married the Princess in March. If Yin'er gave birth to a daughter, it would be fine. But if it's a son, he would be the eldest son of a concubine. Besides, the Princess of Gong is not an easy person to deal with. If Yin'er got pregnant before her, wouldn't it be like a thorn in her heart? She would be eating Yin'er alive."
Lingyun smiled and soothed her, "The Second Miss is a smart person. With Nanny Fei here, she will definitely protect her. The imperial physician said that your vitality was greatly damaged during childbirth. I'm afraid that you've been worrying too much and it might harm your health."
"It's easy to dodge an open attack, but hard to guard against a hidden one." Fu Qianyu sighed deeply and instructed Lingyun, "Tell Madam Fei later to take good care of Gu Yin'er and not let anything go wrong."
"Yes, I've made note of it."
Time flies, and summer is here in the blink of an eye.
The fifth day of July is the full moon ceremony for the two children, and it is also the enthronement ceremony for Fu Qianyu.
Early in the morning, Fu Qianyu put on her makeup.
