In this way, Yunyi could eat in bed without getting out of bed, which was very pleasant and comfortable.
After eating and drinking her fill, Yunyi finally had the mind to pay attention to her two newborn babies. "Ruoqin, where are the two children? Bring them over here so I can see them."
"Please don't worry, Your Highness. The wet nurse has taken the little prince and princess down to nurse them. I will have the wet nurse bring the little princes over right away."
Ruoqin was amused by her mistress's appearance and answered her questions while tidying up her things.
After clearing away the dishes, Ruoqin carried the food box out, handed the food to a maid, and headed towards the side hall.
The side hall was prepared by Yunyi as living quarters for the children. One room was allocated to the little princess born to Wuya Xinyue, while the other two rooms were for her own two children.
A while later, the wet nurse came to Yunyi carrying the two little ones.
Looking at the two children, Yunyi couldn't tell which was her daughter and which was her son.
Seeing this, Ruoqin thoughtfully introduced to Yunyi, "Master, the one in the yellow swaddling clothes is the little prince, and the one in the red swaddling clothes is the little princess."
Nodding and giving Ruoqin a somewhat approving look, Yunyi thought to herself, "This head palace maid is so thoughtful."
Yunyi, a new mother, took her daughter from the wet nurse and looked at her with some curiosity.
Is this my child? So cute! I never imagined I would give birth to a person!
Upon hearing this thought, Xiaoqi was speechless.
Nonsense, you're all alone. If you don't give birth to other people, are you going to give birth to a system just like mine?
Yunyi was unaware that Xiaoqi was complaining about her. She looked at her daughter carefully, then took her son to look at.
Compared to her cute and well-behaved daughter, Yunyi somehow saw a sense of vicissitude on her son's face, though she wasn't sure if it was just her imagination.
Suddenly remembering something, Yunyi instructed the young prince's wet nurse, "Are you the wet nurse, Madam Li?"
Not knowing why the Empress suddenly called her, Li Mama responded with a puzzled "Yes."
Without any room for negotiation, Yunyi coldly stated her demands: "From now on, I will feed the prince and princess myself during the day, and you will take care of them at night."
The wet nurses and palace maids present were somewhat surprised, as they had never seen the wives of officials or the concubines of the harem feeding their own children. For a moment, they looked at each other in bewilderment.
Li Mama hesitated before speaking, "Your Highness, this...this is probably not proper. You are of noble status, how could you do such things?"
She waved her hand to interrupt Li Mama, saying, "No need for further words. What I say goes. You don't need to have any other ideas. Just do as I say."
Since the Imperial Concubine had said so, the wet nurses agreed and obeyed their mistress's orders.
That evening, Yunyi fed the two little ones in turn and then had the wet nurse take them down to sleep.
Because she was still in postpartum confinement and couldn't take a bath, Ruoqin helped Yunyi with a simple wash and change of clothes, and then asked the question that had been bothering her all afternoon.
"Master, why..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yunyi knew what she wanted to ask: "Why are you personally feeding the child, right?"
Ruoqin nodded.
Looking at Ruoqin, who was only a teenager and not yet twenty, Yunyi smiled and said, "You'll understand when you become a mother."
Knowing they would definitely ask, Yunyi gave the reason she had prepared beforehand.
"These are the children I have been longing for. I am happy to be able to feed them myself. Moreover, children grow up healthier when their mothers breastfeed them. What's wrong with me going to the extreme for their health?"
