Yuan Bohua didn't think much of it when his father-in-law asked him this. After all, he was just curious. He patiently explained, "The imperial physician said that my second child's pulse is hidden, so it's possible that we can't find it."
Zhou Wencan smiled and nodded, neither saying whether he believed it nor whether he didn't.
In Yuan Bohua's opinion, his father-in-law believed it.
Zhou Wencan: No, I didn’t believe it.
However, when Zhou Wencan saw the children and saw how small the younger one was, he began to believe it a little.
After Jin entered the inner room, she looked at her daughter sleeping with a pale face, and tears flowed unconsciously.
She didn't say anything, just sat where Yuan Bohua had just sat, silently crying for a while, then wiped her tears away.
I asked Gumei some more questions about her daughter's health.
Jin also specifically asked about the circumstances and details of her daughter's birth of the two children. Jin heard Gu Mei say that her daughter waited until both children were born, saw the babies, and waited for the placenta to come out before she fell asleep.
Jin felt relieved. Since her daughter was conscious throughout the whole process, the two children must be hers.
Only then did Jin feel truly happy for her daughter. With two sons under her knees, her position as princess was secure. Her daughter had finally passed this hurdle.
Jin did not leave after that, but stayed with her daughter until Zhou Qiongyue woke up in the afternoon of the next day and talked to her daughter. Only then did she feel at ease and go to rest.
When Zhou Qiongyue woke up and saw Jin, tears immediately fell. She didn't cry even when she was in so much pain during childbirth, but now that she saw her mother, she couldn't help but feel wronged.
Jin gently held her daughter in her arms and apologized, "It's my fault that I'm late! You're in confinement now, don't cry. Crying too much is bad for your eyes."
Zhou Qiongyue cried for a while in her mother's arms, and felt even more embarrassed to come out.
Seeing her daughter like this, Jin couldn't help but laugh out loud, "What's there to be shy about? I've seen you naked as a child."
"mother······"
Jin coaxed her daughter gently, "Okay, you must be hungry! Mommy will feed you, okay?"
Zhou Qiongyue stepped out of Jin's arms. She looked at her mother's dark circles and said distressedly, "Go down and have a rest, mother! Let Gulan feed me. Besides, I think I can eat by myself."
Jin was indeed tired, and she did not argue with her daughter on this matter. Instead, she approached her daughter and whispered, "Why do you have two children?"
Zhou Qiongyue didn't know that her mother and father were overthinking it, so she casually recounted the process of her childbirth.
Jin looked concerned, but she was actually relieved in her heart. It was good that it was not what she and the prince thought.
As for being weak, in a family like theirs, as long as they can grow up, it is not a problem and they just need to be taken care of carefully.
Just as Jin finished discussing this topic with her daughter, Yuan Bohua came in. He had heard the servants report that the princess had woken up, so he hurried over.
Originally, he wanted to take care of Yue'er, but his mother-in-law wanted to take over his job, and he had no other choice.
When Jin saw Yuan Bohua coming in, she tactfully left. If it weren't for the sudden birth of a child, Jin wouldn't have been so worried as to wait for her daughter to wake up.
Now that things have been clarified, she will definitely give her daughter and the prince some time alone.
As soon as Jin left, Yuan Bohua took the chicken soup next to him and fed Zhou Qiongyue spoonful by spoonful.
Yuan Bohua looked into Zhou Qiongyue's eyes and asked with concern, "Have you cried?"
"Hmm!" Zhou Qiongyue only responded without saying why. She just lowered her head and drank the chicken soup that Yuan Bohua fed her.
"We already have two sons, and we don't want to have any more children."
As soon as Yuan Bohua said this, Zhou Qiongyue looked up at Yuan Bohua in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief.
It's no wonder Zhou Qiongyue couldn't believe it. In this dynasty, having many children was considered a blessing. As long as you can have children, you need to keep having children.
Zhou Qiongyue couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, are you serious?"
Yuan Bohua looked at Zhou Qiongyue seriously, "Yes, seriously, having two sons will be enough for us in the future. It's better to have the original wife."
Yuan Bohua had seen the dangers of childbirth for women, and as long as this was a son, he didn't want his wife to take the risk again. Especially since they already had two sons.
"I will listen to you, Your Highness. You are so kind." Zhou Qiongyue took the initiative to grab Yuan Bohua's hand to feed him the soup, and the smile on her face was particularly dazzling.
Yuan Bohua put the spoon down and held Zhou Qiongyue's hand with his fingers interlocked. "You know that I am a good person, so you should take good care of yourself and grow old with me. If you die first, I am such a good person, who knows who will get the chance!"
At this time, Zhou Qiongyue looked at Yuan Bohua with particular favor, and of course she agreed to whatever he said.
Today, the palace has sent the good news to everyone who should be given it, so the entire Yuan'an knows that Zhou Qiongyue gave birth to twin sons.
In general, some people are happy and some people are angry!
The people who were angry, apart from the political enemies of the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion and the Fu'an Prince Mansion, were the women who were interested in Fu'an Prince.
Of course, the person who was most unhappy was Xie Zixin. She smashed all the decorations in her room again.
Xie Zixin was particularly dissatisfied. Why could Zhou Qiongyue, who had no children in her previous life, give birth to two sons in this life, while she, who had given birth to two sons in her previous life, only gave birth to a daughter?
He was even taken away by the queen and raised by her, and he was not close to her.
At this time, Xie Zixin had completely forgotten that it was because she wanted to harm her own daughter to pave the way for herself that the Second Prince took away her right to raise Li Chenghuan.
Zhou Qiongyue didn't care what others thought. She and the prince were very happy. They had a son, and everything was enough for them.
Yuan Bohua named his eldest son Yuan Chaochang and his youngest son Yuan Chaokang.
One symbolizes the inheritance of a prosperous family business, and the other symbolizes good health. From these two names, we can see that Yuan Bohua's expectations for his two sons are very different.
Zhou Qiongyue had no other thoughts about this. In this era, family inheritance was traditionally passed down through the eldest son. Parents who were too self-righteous could easily cause discord among their children. So, whatever happened, it was what it was.
However, Yuan Chaokang was in poor health, so Yuan Bohua and Zhou Qiongyue decided to cancel the full-moon banquet and just hold a hundred-day banquet instead. Everything was based on the child's health.
Originally, Zhou Qiongyue planned to feed her youngest son herself because he was in poor health. However, she had no breast milk, so she had to let him drink from his wet nurse.
Fortunately, these two little guys are not picky and are happy as long as there is something to eat.
When Zhou Qiongyue was pregnant, she felt that she had no maternal love, but now that the child was born, Zhou Qiongyue felt that she loved them both so much that she couldn't wait to keep her eyes on the child all day.
Yuan Bohua also liked it very much, but he preferred to hold his younger brother rather than his older brother. The main reason was that every time Yuan Bohua held that naughty boy Yuan Chaochang, he would get peed all over.
In addition, Yuan Chaokang is younger, so Yuan Bohua can't help but be a little biased.
