Chapter 223 Twins
"Your Majesty, if you push a little harder, the baby will be out soon!" the midwife reminded her loudly.
Wen Li'er clenched her teeth, but her body had no strength left.
"Sister Ziyun... I... I have no strength left..."
Wen Li'er's weak voice was completely drowned out by the child's crying.
But Nangong Ziyun was close enough to hear it.
She immediately took out a piece of ginseng from the medicine box she brought and put it into Wen Lier's mouth.
"My Lady, you must hold on!"
Nangong Ziyun encouraged Wen Li'er while instructing the midwife to adjust Wen Li'er's posture.
Soon, she unfolded her silver needles and inserted them into several acupuncture points on Wen Li'er's body.
Wen Li'er suddenly felt that she seemed to have strength again.
She exerted her strength blindly, relying on instinct, and did whatever the midwife told her to do.
When the second child was born, she seemed to vaguely hear the word "princess".
But she really didn't have the energy to look at the princess she was thinking about, and closed her eyes weakly.
With her sister-in-law and the emperor around, she didn't worry about someone replacing her child.
When Yan Shixu heard the good news twice in a row, he was so happy that he almost lost his mind.
He knew that pears could give birth, but he didn't know how fertile they were.
Others had a lot of trouble getting pregnant with just one child, but she was able to have two at once.
At this moment, he no longer cared about Nanny Qin's obstruction. He pushed the person away and strode into the delivery room.
When he saw Wen Li'er, whose face was as pale as paper and had several silver needles inserted into her body, his heart skipped a beat and he strode to Nangong Ziyun to ask.
"How's Li'er? Are you feeling well?"
Nangong Ziyun saw his worried look and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. The Imperial Concubine has simply exhausted herself due to excessive physical exertion. I will prescribe a prescription for you. After taking it for a few days, you will regain your strength."
Upon hearing this, Yan Shixu breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the two little ones being held side by side in the cradle by the midwife, he felt his heart as an old father soften.
However, his little princess seemed a lot smaller than her brother.
The voice was thin and weak, and the eyes were only half open.
Hearing her brother's howling, she also howled, but it was as soft as the cry of a kitten.
Yan Shixu hurriedly took his daughter and held her in front of Nangong Ziyun.
"Miss Ziyun, please take a look at the little princess. She seems a little too thin."
Nangong Ziyun carefully checked the little princess's physical condition, and then put his fingers on the little princess's wrist and carefully took her pulse.
For a while, her brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed again.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The little princess is weaker than other children. I think she's so thin because she competed with the prince for nutrients while she was in her mother's womb."
After hearing this, Yan Shixu's worry was evident in his words. He hurriedly asked, "Is there any way to treat it?"
Nangong Ziyun nodded. "When a woman is pregnant with two children, most of the children she gives birth to will have this symptom. I will prescribe some nourishing medicines to slowly nurse the little princess back to health. After a year or two, she will be no different from other children. But one thing to note is: you need to pay special attention to keeping the little princess warm and don't let her catch a cold."
After hearing what Nangong Ziyun said, Yan Shixu felt a little relieved.
He looked at the little princess in his arms and said solemnly, "I hope Miss Ziyun will take care of you."
Nangong Ziyun bowed and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will live up to your expectations."
The news that Wen Li'er gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, quickly spread throughout the palace.
The Grand Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother and the Queen all rushed to the Bixi Palace to visit.
The Empress Dowager looked at the twin boy and girl and couldn't stop smiling.
"This is a blessing for the Dayan royal family!"
At the same time, Wang Mingchun, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, hurried into the palace to report last night's astronomical phenomena to the emperor.
But before he could open his mouth, he was stopped by Yan Shixu with a glare.
Wang Mingchun was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood what he meant and left in disappointment.
Unexpectedly, he would meet the queen on his way out of the palace.
Xie Zhenrong looked at the direction he was coming from, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his hands under his sleeves clenched unconsciously.
"Sir Wang, what brings you to the palace?"
Wang Mingchun was unwilling to get involved in the princes' struggle. Thinking of the look the emperor had just given him, he immediately found an excuse to get away with it.
"Your Majesty, I have come to the palace to discuss the compilation and revision of the calendar. I would like to present the model for next year's constitution to the Emperor for his preliminary review."
Xie Zhenrong relaxed a little after hearing this.
The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet also became more festive with the birth of the twins.
The palace was decorated with lights and filled with laughter.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Yan Shixu gave names to the twins, a boy and a girl, on the spot.
Brother - Yan Xingtian;
Sister——Yan Ruoqing.
The word "Tian" in the third prince's name made the ministers' hearts beat fast.
Heaven—Son of Heaven…
Everyone had their own thoughts, but no one dared to raise any objections.
Wen Tingkuan and Liang Yuhe almost cried with joy when they heard that their daughter had successfully given birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
Wen Zhiyan was also happy for his sister.
Everyone can see how much the emperor dotes on his sister.
Now that he has two sons and a daughter, his future status will certainly be unbreakable.
Tourmaline Palace.
Wen Li'er woke up briefly twice, but didn't have time to drink the medicine and soon fell asleep again.
The palace maids could only feed her one spoonful at a time.
Xiaoxiao was very sensible. He knew that his mother was tired from giving birth to his younger siblings and needed to rest, so he obediently did not disturb her.
He is particularly fond of his younger brothers and sisters and always sleeps with them at night.
He slept in the middle, grabbing one on each side.
The palace maids were afraid that he would crush the third prince and the little princess while sleeping, so they took turns guarding them at night.
Yan Shixu would come over every night and always stay with Wen Lier.
He was afraid that something might happen to her, so he would personally feed her a bowl of porridge every day to feel at ease.
The medicine she took for several days was not in vain. After three days, Wen Li'er finally regained a lot of strength.
After she was fully awake, she wanted to see her child.
Yan Shixu ordered the palace maids to bring the third prince and the little princess over.
Wen Li'er looked at the two little children and felt her heart melt.
Xiaoxiao was also very happy to see his mother wake up.
He tugged at his father's dragon robe, raised his head and asked softly, "Father, when can mother get out of bed and play with my brothers and sisters?"
Yan Shixu hugged him and put him on his lap: "Mother needs to rest for another month. You can rest once you have enough."
Xiaoxiao clapped his hands happily: "Then mother will rest first, and Xiaoxiao will play with my younger brothers and sisters first~~~"
"good."
Yan Shixu looked at Wen Li'er and told her the names of the two children in a soft voice.
Wen Li'er looked at him with sparkling eyes.
Sounds good!
"Your Majesty, what are the nicknames for the two children? Have you chosen them?"
Yan Shixu was about to say that he would let her pick it up, but he immediately thought of the cats and dogs she had written at the beginning, and changed his words temporarily.
"How about calling your daughter Miaomiao?"
Miaomiao, it sounds very gentle.
“Nice!”
"My son's name is Jiuwu."
Wen Li'er was about to agree, but then she felt something was wrong.
Jiuwu - the supreme ruler...
Are you sure you won’t get beaten if you call me by this nickname?
"Your Majesty, why not call me Tiantian...Tiantian sounds better too."
Yan Shixu met her cautious expression and sneered, "Then it's up to you."
Wen Li'er nodded rapidly.
