She gave birth to two princes!
Wei Shuang thought of the kidney banquet that had given birth to their two little ones, and her lower abdomen tightened slightly.
Although Wei Shuang's plan was partly to sabotage him during that vulnerable period, Xiao Yu had prepared a lavish feast for him in front of all the officials, leaving Wei Shuang with no choice but to eat it.
Wei Shuang knew that Xiao Yu would recklessly use the same trick a second time.
Even without external interference, Wei Shuang could still control herself. But if Xiao Yu were to secretly plot against her again... it might damage her sacred body.
So after Xiao Yu grabbed her robe, Wei Shuang immediately gave in and properly performed her duties as empress on the dragon bed.
However, Wei Shuang restrained herself due to Xiao Yu's protruding belly.
Xiao Yu groaned and moaned as she was served for half an hour. Satisfied, she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep, draping her aching legs over Wei Shuang's waist.
When Xiao Yu woke up the next day, he was struck by a heavy blow from his own body, which had been sluggish for years.
She couldn't even turn over, and the two little ones inside her were making a lot of noise.
appropriate.
Xiao Yu felt that Wei Shuang probably didn't know how to write the word "appropriate".
He can't get out of bed.
Xiao Yu's calves started cramping from overexertion.
My lower back aches, and I can't straighten up.
Xiao Yu hugged her pillow, looking at Wei Shuang who was massaging her calves with a mournful expression.
Wei Shuang had excellent strength, and her kneading force was just right. However, when Gan Jun kneaded with the scent of incense, the tingling sensation would spread from the thighs to other areas, thus exacerbating the spasms in the calves.
"Look at you, you've exhausted me after holding it in for five months, and you still want to hold it in for ten more months?" The tangled veins in his calves were massaged away, and Xiao Yu closed his eyes comfortably, placing his hand on his belly to soothe the little one inside.
The leg cramps weren't entirely Wei Shuang's fault. Xiao Yu was further along in her pregnancy, and her protruding belly was pressing on her nerves. If she continued to lie still, it would only get more unbearable later on.
But Xiao Yu didn't care about any of that; after all, it was Wei Shuang's fault that her belly was getting bigger.
“…Alright, it’s all my fault.” Wei Shuang smiled helplessly.
Xiao Yu persisted: "Your Majesty, you must address me as your concubine."
"...Yes, it was my fault." The leg meat in her hand trembled, and Wei Shuang tightened her grip a little.
Xiao Yu let out an uncomfortable groan, crossed her legs and changed her position, her ears turning slightly red: "Forget it, stop calling me 'Your Majesty,' it's making my heart burn."
Xiao Yu's heart pounded wildly in his chest, almost leaping out of his chest. Those two short words had such power.
Wei Shuang is indeed a monster; her reputation as a wicked concubine who brought ruin to the country is well-deserved.
——
In April, as her due date approached, Xiao Yu's body became increasingly cumbersome, but after hearing some horrifying stories, she fell in love with taking walks in the Imperial Garden to clear her mind.
Early summer in June wasn't hot yet, but Xiao Yu was already wearing a light shirt, unable to bear the slightest bit of heat.
Wei Shuang always accompanied Xiao Yu. When Xiao Yu took a walk in the Imperial Garden, Wei Shuang would put her hand on Xiao Yu's waist to help relieve some of the pressure of pregnancy.
The impending birth of the baby also stirred the emotions of officials in the court.
Xiao Yu began receiving many memorials inquiring about the young prince. Xiao Yu was heavily pregnant and it was inconvenient for him to sit. The golden nanmu wood table in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was moved to the side of the chair, and a soft pillow was placed behind the chair to support his back. However, Xiao Yu was still uncomfortable sitting. His dependence on Gan Junxinxiang made him prefer to stay in Wei Shuang's arms.
"Hmm..." Xiao Yu was holding the memorial that Wang Ruofu had written with concern in his hand. His teacher was old and was nagging like a father. Xiao Yu was about to turn his head to let Wei Shuang take a look, but he had only turned his head halfway when his stomach suddenly moved. Xiao Yu frowned and groaned, and the memorial fell to the ground.
Wei Shuang's expression changed drastically. She pressed her face against Xiao Yu's belly, feeling the waves through her skin, and asked anxiously, "Is she going to give birth?"
"...It shouldn't be, but I wonder which little rascal kicked me." Xiao Yu patted his still-swaying belly lightly and threatened, "I'll definitely spank him when he comes out."
The belly suddenly quieted down, and the little one inside seemed to understand its father's words, curling up motionless for half an hour before finally turning over gently.
Feeling the movement in her belly, Xiao Yu leaned against Wei Shuang and couldn't help but chuckle: "These two little ones must be as smart as me, they can understand what I say at such a young age."
“Your Majesty’s children will definitely look more like Your Majesty.” Wei Shuang’s hand was also on Xiao Yu’s belly. He closed his eyes, and two little babies who looked exactly like Xiao Yu popped into his mind. His heart softened and his gaze became gentle.
But as soon as Wei Shuang opened her mouth, Xiao Yu thought of the political affairs he didn't want to deal with. He covered his belly on both sides as the little guy's ears and said guiltily, "Well... it doesn't have to be so similar. They will inherit the throne in the future, so they have to be diligent."
Ideally, one should begin learning literature at the age of three, become accomplished at five, and assume the throne at ten, allowing me to become a relaxed retired emperor at the age of thirty.
Xiao Yu happily patted her belly, intending to complain, but a sense of unease crept into her stomach, and she gently wriggled in Wei Shuang's palm.
“Your Majesty, no matter how diligent he is, he cannot be born as the Crown Prince and share Your Majesty’s burdens.” Wei Shuangguang could guess what Xiao Yu was thinking just by looking at the curve of Xiao Yu’s lips. He gently comforted Xiao Yu’s belly and said helplessly, “He will need to be nurtured for at least a year before he can speak.”
"I am not so heartless as to entrust the affairs of state to two newborn infants!" Xiao Yu retorted loudly, his face flushed.
Wei Shuang's words reminded Xiao Yu that his days of openly slacking off were numbered. After having two little ones, he would have to meet with excited court officials every day, which gave Xiao Yu a huge headache.
...Or, how about having another one?
Xiao Yu quickly gave up the idea.
The two little ones started having sex in the middle of the night. Xiao Yu felt a wetness in her vagina in the middle of the night and hurriedly woke up Wei Shuang, who was sleeping lightly beside her.
"Wei Shuang! Wei Shuang! I think I'm really going into labor..." The pain in my abdomen wasn't obvious yet, but there were clear contractions.
Wei Shuang sat up with a jolt, picked up Xiao Yu, and walked towards the side hall.
In mid-June, the two imperial physicians, Zhang and Li, were granted residence in a side hall, along with their medicine chests.
As soon as Xiao Yu made a sound, Feng Shun hurriedly burst open the door of the side hall and woke up the two imperial physicians to change their clothes.
"She's given birth? She's finally giving birth?!" The two imperial physicians hurriedly grabbed their medicine boxes and staggered over to Xiao Yu, kneeling down to take her pulse.
"Your Majesty is in good health and will surely give birth to a prince safely!" Imperial Physician Zhang removed his hand from Xiao Yu's belly. Although it was twins, the babies were in the correct position, and Xiao Yu's pulse was very strong.
The room was filled with the irresistible fragrance of osmanthus. Xiao Yu lay on his private couch, his stomach tightening in waves. Compared to his initial nervousness, the increasingly intense pain made him fearfully grip Wei Shuang's hand tightly.
"My stomach seems to be hurting more and more, Imperial Physician, should I...?"
The imperial physician promptly interrupted Xiao Yu's ominous speculation: "His Majesty and the prince in his womb are both doing well! He's almost fully dilated."
"It hurts so much, I don't want to give birth anymore..." Xiao Yu felt like his lower body was being split open. He was completely soaked in cold sweat. Xiao Yu thought this was the worst pain, but the imperial physician told him that he was not yet fully dilated and might have to endure the pain for another half night.
"Okay, okay, I promise I won't have any more children." Wei Shuang's face was expressionless and his expression seemed calm, but the comforting incense in the room never stopped. He held Xiao Yu's hand so tightly that the veins on the back of his hand were bulging with anxiety.
"Now is not the time to agonize over whether or not to have a child! Your Majesty, please relax, listen to my instructions, and take a deep breath!"
Suddenly, Xiao Yu's breathing became rapid, and he abruptly tightened his grip on Wei Shuang's hand.
The pain intensified rapidly, exceeding Xiao Yu's tolerance. She released her bleeding lower lip and cried out in unbearable pain, "It hurts... Why does it hurt so much? Haven't these two little brats had enough of staying in my belly for so long? Why aren't they coming out yet!"
"I'm in so much pain, Wei Shuang, I'm in so much pain!!" Xiao Yu sobbed, sweating profusely from the pain, his face completely drained of color.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, Your Majesty, please hold on."
"It's all your fault! If I can't make it through, I'll... I'll exterminate your entire family! Ah!!!" Another wave of intense pain caused Xiao Yu's voice to change.
Half the night passed, and the two imperial physicians were busy carrying out basins of bloody water. Xiao Yu's strength was also running out. The strength in Xiao Yu's hand holding Wei Shuang's hand was getting weaker and weaker, and the groans that came out of his mouth were becoming feeble.
The ginseng slices that had been prepared in advance were quickly placed under Xiao Yu's tongue by Physician Li. As the medicinal properties slowly seeped in, Xiao Yu's empty eyes regained their senses.
"Your Majesty! Just a little more force! I can see the little prince's head!" Imperial Physician Zhang screamed at the top of his lungs!
Finally, the sound of a baby crying rang out from inside the house.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, you have given birth to a little prince!" Imperial Physician Li happily picked up the child with the same bright golden eyes as Xiao Yu.
Hearing the baby cry, Xiao Yu breathed heavily, his eyes half-closed, his stomach still aching, still in excruciating pain. He let his hand, which was holding Wei Shuang's hand, fall limply to the ground.
"I...I have no strength left..." Xiao Yu placed his hand on his still-wriggling belly, inside which was a child.
"Your Majesty, please breathe a little stronger. It'll be over soon. I can already feel the baby." Wei Shuang comforted Xiao Yu with heartache. Although there was a way to push the abdomen, it would only cause Xiao Yu more suffering.
"You...you bastard, your brat is killing me with pain, and you're still gloating! It's easy for you to say that when you're not the one suffering!" Xiao Yu heard Wei Shuang's voice and immediately regained his strength. The weak emperor was furious, and the pain in his abdomen made him want to grab Wei Shuang and bite her hard.
"Wei Shuang! Just you wait, I'll make you feel the pain sooner or later!"
Amid Xiao Yu's curses, the second child was successfully delivered from beneath her, letting out a loud cry.
"It's born! Your Majesty! It's a little prince!" With father and son safe and sound, Imperial Physician Zhang held the newborn child, weeping with joy.
She's given birth...? I've finally given birth.
The two young princes cried loudly, one after the other. Xiao Yu's body suddenly relaxed, but he could no longer hold on to his exhaustion. His head lolled to the side, and he fainted in Wei Shuang's arms.
"Your Majesty?!" A voice, even more powerful than the little prince's wailing, exploded in the room, startling the two imperial physicians.
Upon seeing Xiao Yu faint, Physician Zhang hurriedly grabbed Xiao Yu's wrist to take her pulse and examined her body. After realizing that Xiao Yu was not in any danger, Physician Zhang leaned against the bed and exhaled a long breath.
"Lord Wei, His Majesty... His Majesty is just too tired and has fallen asleep. Please keep your voice down. His Majesty is too weak to be startled." Physician Zhang explained to Wei Shuang while panting, to prevent the temperature in the room from dropping to freezing point again in the middle of summer.
“…Okay.” Wei Shuang was taken aback, then grabbed Xiao Yu’s wrist in annoyance and lowered her voice.
The fragrance of osmanthus in the room gradually faded, but the soothing aroma of wine remained constant.
Wei Shuang stayed by the dragon bed, never leaving its side.
