Cai Xiaolian gave birth to two sons.
These twins have inherited the Gu family tradition; their cries are exceptionally loud, which is very heartwarming to hear. Look how loud and healthy these two babies are!
The Empress Dowager looked at her two great-grandsons, tears welling in her eyes, unable to contain her excitement: "Xiao Lian has rendered meritorious service in giving the Ye family a son, reward her, reward her handsomely!"
Each of the three branches of the Gu family has grandsons, but this time the second branch had twins. The Empress Dowager, who had also given birth to twins, was deeply moved.
Fortunately, it was the Gu family, not the Ye family.
If they were from the royal Ye family, these two children would never have been able to meet since birth.
The Empress Dowager was overjoyed and rarely bestowed gifts upon others. Unable to contain her excitement, she wanted to give all the good things to her second granddaughter-in-law and her two identical great-grandchildren, as if to make up for her own past with her two young children.
"Grandmother, please don't get excited, please don't get excited!" Uncle Gu helped the Empress Dowager up. "The second son's son is clever. He knew their great-grandmother was coming, so he came out to greet her in advance!"
The Empress Dowager patted Uncle Gu's hand and nodded, "Yes, Grandmother, don't get excited, Grandmother, don't get excited! Eldest son, don't follow me, I'm going to see Xiaolian."
The Empress Dowager wanted to go into the delivery room, and no one could stop her.
Exhausted, Cai Xiaolian was unaware that someone had come from outside. When she saw the old lady, she thought she was seeing things and instinctively tried to get up to greet her.
The Empress Dowager stepped forward and pressed her down: "Good child, lie down and rest well. You gave the second son two precious babies, you are a great hero, a great hero. Sleep, Grandmother will watch you sleep and have someone clean you up."
Looking at the old lady's teary eyes, Cai Xiaolian felt a lump in her throat: "Grandmother, the house smells bad, please don't stay here."
The Empress Dowager held her hand: "It doesn't smell bad, not at all. My child, you've worked so hard, you've worked so hard."
Cai Xiaolian couldn't help but shed tears, especially when she thought about how the old lady had also given birth to two children at once and had to stay conscious to send one away to save the child's life. It made her heart ache.
The Empress Dowager took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears: "Don't cry, you'll hurt your eyes. Take a rest, we'll take care of the child, everything will be alright. You're tired, take a rest."
"Mmm." Cai Xiaolian's voice was nasal, and she was indeed tired. Holding the Empress Dowager's hand, she fell asleep peacefully.
The Empress Dowager sat beside her, looking at Cai Xiaolian's sleeping face with a look of reminiscence in her eyes.
...
The emperor has already spoken with Gu Shouxin and will name Gu Shouxin's child.
Now, Grandpa Gu's identity is no longer as sensitive as before, and Grandma Gu also intends for the child to retain his surname.
Therefore, up to Gu Xiaoba, all the children in the Gu family have the surname Ye.
The emperor wanted to name the twins, but the Empress Dowager took over the task.
Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian didn't think much of it. After all, Gu Shouxin's surname was Ye before he transmigrated, and they had Gu Xiaoba. Now that their two sons were surnamed Ye, it was like they were returning to their ancestral home.
Cai Xiaolian understood Gu Shouxin's insistence on having descendants, since the surname Gu or Ye wouldn't follow her surname Cai, and she wasn't the type to want her children to take her surname, so she agreed to everyone's wishes.
The Empress Dowager named the twins Ye Chengan and Ye Chengning.
She hopes that the children will always be safe, healthy, and have a smooth life.
As for nicknames, that was left to Cai Xiaolian, the mother. Cai Xiaolian was lazy and simply named the children Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi.
