Three good news, bad news and crazy news
Seeing Jiang Hanyu's handsome eyes filled with unrelieved worry and fear, Su Yuyan raised her hand and gently stroked his handsome eyebrows.
"Husband, give me a smile."
Jiang Hanyu just managed to force out a smile that was uglier than crying, and tears uncontrollably seeped out from the corners of his eyes.
"Yuyan, I'm scared."
As soon as he finished speaking, the court physician, imperial physician and a group of midwives who had heard the news entered the delivery room.
They had never thought that they would be able to witness the prince crying in their own eyes in this life, and they knelt down without daring to breathe.
Seeing the Iron-Blooded God of War crying in public for the first time, Su Yuyan knew that he was extremely scared.
"Don't be afraid, my husband."
"Early after my first pregnancy, my husband arranged for five of Kyoto's most renowned midwives to attend weekly training at the Imperial Hospital. During my last pregnancy, I also taught them how to assess and respond to various emergencies. The doctors and midwives currently working in the delivery room are the most knowledgeable and experienced medical team in Dafeng."
"Besides, I'm also proficient in medicine. Although this baby is now past its due date, judging by the frequency and amplitude of its labor, this one will be born much faster than the first."
Having said that, she stretched out her jade-white hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Jiang Hanyu's eyes, and then spoke again.
"The feeling of giving birth is getting stronger and stronger. Husband, please wait at the door of the delivery room first."
Seeing a fine layer of sweat oozing out of his wife's smooth forehead, Jiang Hanyu walked out of the delivery room with red eyes and his hands covering his heart which ached with excessive heartache.
As soon as he walked out of the delivery room, he met Jiang Qinyue, Jiang Daiyun, Jiang Xingyue, Su Zhan and Lin Heqing who had rushed over after hearing the news.
When they saw the obviously red corners of Jiang Hanyu's eyes, their hearts suddenly rose to their throats.
The most sentimental Jiang Xingyue burst into tears because she was too worried.
When she started, Jiang Qinyue and Jiang Daiyun couldn't bear it anymore and started crying with their faces covered.
And things happened just as Su Yuyan expected.
She gave birth very quickly.
A quarter of an hour later, the loud cry of a baby was heard in the delivery room.
The moment Jiang Hanyu heard the baby crying, his seven souls and six spirits that had been wandering around immediately returned to their places.
He couldn't wait to push open the door and stumbled in.
Kneeling down in front of Su Yuyan's bed, his voice was choked and trembling.
"Yuyan, we won't have any more children. We won't have any more children."
Su Yuyan curled her lips.
"Although this pregnancy was somewhat painful, the delivery was much faster than the first, so I didn't suffer much during the birth."
Jiang Hanyu said nothing, but just hugged Su Yuyan through the warm quilt.
He used very little force, fearing that his weight would make Su Yuyan, who had just given birth, uncomfortable.
Soon, Su Yuyan clearly felt a few drops of man's tears sliding down her shoulder.
Scalding, burning hot.
Su Yuyan felt a little distressed by the burning sensation.
"Husband, this time it's still a son and a daughter."
"It's just that last time they were brother and sister, this time they're sister and brother."
Jiang Hanyu tried his best to calm down.
"Well, I'll take care of the kids."
With the first experience, Jiang Xingyue and the five people accompanying the birth knew very well how much Jiang Hanyu put Su Yuyan first in everything.
So just like last time, they didn't go to Su Yuyan, but went directly to see the child.
Looking at another pair of twins, Jiang Qinyue, Jiang Daiyun and Jiang Xingyue were filled with envy.
"That's great! Both babies are twins, a boy and a girl."
"Has the Emperor's sister-in-law already chosen a name?"
Su Yuyan answered.
"I got up early."
"The girl's name is Jiang Yuyan, and the boy's name is Jiang Hechuan."
The next morning, Jiang Hanyu went to the palace to meet the emperor.
"Father, the princess suffered immensely during her pregnancy. She was very weak after giving birth yesterday and needs meticulous care."
"I am worried about the servants taking care of me, so I will not attend the morning court for the next month. I also ask Your Majesty to have the memorials that need your approval delivered to Prince Rui's Palace every day."
"Besides, Li'er and Yi'er are now over three years old and can begin to learn some of the techniques of imperial rule. Therefore, I intend to have Li'er and Yi'er learn the techniques of imperial rule from you, the greatest emperor of all time, starting tomorrow."
emperor:"......"
Good news: I have another grandchild.
Bad news: My own son doesn’t want to attend the morning court again!
Crazy news: This rebellious son not only doesn’t want to attend the morning court, but also wants me to take care of his child!
At the same time, Jiang Qingli and Jiang Hongyi walked in front of the emperor and began to cooperate with each other according to Su Yuyan's instructions.
"Grandpa Emperor, your virtue is widespread and your power is divine. I admire you very much."
"Grandpa Emperor's virtue matches heaven and earth, and the nine realms are at peace. In Li'er's heart, he is the most powerful person."
Looking at his grandchildren with shining eyes and admiring faces looking at him; listening to his grandchildren praising him in their baby voices, the old emperor was suddenly overjoyed.
"Then Grandfather Emperor will assign more government affairs to your father so that he can spend more time with you two."
Jiang Hanyu had no objection.
He knew that state affairs were busy and as a son he should share more of his father's worries.
He just wanted to stay by Su Yuyan's side and take care of her and her two newborn children during her confinement period, and take good care of the three of them.
Although there are countless servants in the mansion, he feels at ease only when he takes care of Su Yuyan and the children himself.
He thought to himself: As long as I can manage government affairs at home and take care of my wife who is in confinement at all times, the more government affairs I have, the better. After all, I will have to help with government affairs when my child ascends the throne.
Five years later, the elderly emperor passed the throne to Jiang Hanyu.
In the third year of Jiang Hanyu's ascension to the throne, Su Yuyan and Jiang Hanyu discussed it and called the four children to their side.
"Your mother doesn't like being confined to the palace, and you're all grown up, so your father plans to pass the reins of power to one of you four."
"Over the years, Father and Mother have devoted time and energy to nurturing you, and have invited the finest teachers in Dafeng to teach you. Now, each of you has achieved both literary and martial prowess, and any of you is capable of taking on the throne."
"So, which of you four wants to be emperor?"
As soon as Jiang Hanyu finished speaking on the throne, Jiang Qingli, Jiang Yuyan and Jiang Hechuan, who were originally standing side by side with Jiang Hongyi, took a step back in unison, pushing Jiang Hongyi to the center position.
Jiang Hongyi: "...?"
Are you serious about taking that half step back?
Small movements can cause so much damage...
Looking at Jiang Hongyi with a hurt face, Jiang Qingli probably felt a little sorry for him, so she began to explain.
"Father, Brother, I've been spoiled by Mother and can't handle the hardships of being an emperor. Mother also said that girls age faster if they worry too much, and the ideal life is to wear gold and silver every day and not have to worry about anything. So, please, Father and Brother, let this spoiled princess like me go!"
Jiang Yuyan, who had taken a half step back with Jiang Qingli, quickly agreed.
"Father, brother, I second this motion."
"I also beg my father and my brother to let this spoiled princess like me go! I can cry and whine, but I really can't be the empress!"
"If I must be a whimpering empress, I will be ashamed to face Emperor Taizu after I die!"
Seeing that both imperial sisters were speaking out for a free life, Jiang Hechuan followed suit.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and Brother, it is only natural that the eldest son should be appointed as Crown Prince. Your Majesty and Your Majesty must adhere to the ancestral system passed down through the dynasties!"
"Besides, I am obsessed with craftsmanship, and my lifelong wish is to learn from Gongshu Ban and create tools to benefit the people."
"I beg Father, Mother, and Brother to fulfill my lifelong wish of being a wealthy and idle prince!"
Jiang Hongyi: "..."
Jiang Hanyu: "..."
He felt sorry for his eldest son for a second.
Su Yuyan: “…”
She also felt sorry for her eldest son for a second.
"Yier, what do you think of what your sister and brother just said?"
Jiang Hongyi sighed softly.
"I know that your Majesty Queen is devoted to the mountains and rivers."
"You gave me life. I love you, respect you, and want you to be happy. From what I know about you, I think you would be much happier if your father took you on a journey through the mountains and rivers than if you stayed in the palace."
"Since my younger sister and brother are unwilling to sit on the throne, then I, the eldest son, must bear the brunt of it."
"Your son... is willing... to inherit the throne."
Su Yuyan said.
"You are indeed my mother's great son."
"In recent years, several of your aunts have given birth to second and third children, and many of your cousins want to achieve great things and leave their names in history, so you will need capable ministers to assist you in the future."
Seeing that his wife had finally made the decision, Jiang Hanyu also looked at Jiang Hongyi.
"Yier, there's something your father has never mentioned to you: In his heart, you've always been the most outstanding of his four children. Although he treats all four of you equally and impartially, the one he values the most and has the highest hopes for is you."
"Father knows that state affairs are heavy. Even if he retires and becomes the Grand Emperor, he will help you with state affairs."
"Father taught you by example and guided you through two years of government, and then he officially passed the throne to you."
Jiang Hongyi: "..."
Father, it's really a bit hypocritical for you to say now that I'm your most valued child...
Father, mother, the queen, in fact, the eldest son does not want to be an emperor.
The eldest son is heartbroken, but he can't say...
Seeing that the hot throne was settled, Jiang Qingli immediately decided to provide top emotional value to her brother who had taken on all the responsibilities.
She spoke to Jiang Hongyi word by word.
"Your Majesty, you are so kind. I will kowtow to you as a token of my gratitude when I leave the Imperial Study."
Jiang Yuyan followed closely behind.
"I second the motion. I also kowtow."
None of the children raised by Su Yuyan, who is a social butterfly, have low emotional intelligence.
Then, Jiang Hechuan also hurriedly spoke.
"I second your proposal. I will kowtow to you, my brother, later."
Jiang Hongyi, who was alone in his wounded world, said: "..."
Sixty-six years later, the retired emperor Jiang Hanyu and the queen mother Su Yuyan passed away on the same day.
Jiang Hongyi, Jiang Qingli, Jiang Yuyan and Jiang Hechuan followed their parents' wishes and buried them together in the imperial mausoleum.
Jiang Hanyu and Su Yuyan will fly together in this life, spoil Su Yuyan like a child and put Su Yuyan first in everything.
Jiang Hanyu and Su Yuyan were a couple who accompanied each other throughout their lives and were in perfect harmony with each other. They shared the same pillow during their lifetime and were buried in the same tomb after their death. They became a model couple praised by everyone in this era.
The four siblings Jiang Hongyi, Jiang Qingli, Jiang Yuyan and Jiang Hechuan grew up together since childhood and have a deep friendship. Between power and family affection, they always choose to trust and support each other.
Later, although the four of them were separated and had their own positions, they always cared about each other.
Unlike the royal families of previous dynasties, they never fought against each other or killed each other. Instead, they treated each other with sincerity and had a tacit understanding. They would discuss important matters together and gather together during festivals to strengthen their relationship.
Jiang Hongyi, Jiang Qingli, Jiang Yuyan and Jiang Hechuan are like four jade pillars supporting the sky, relying on each other, illuminating each other and sharing the same mind.
The four brothers and sisters, with blood as their bond and trust as their foundation, not only built a century of peace and prosperity for Dafeng, but also became a royal story of love, no suspicion, and no killing, which was praised by later generations.
