With two cries rang out, one after the other, the two people outside finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked expectantly at the doorway, waiting for them to bring the child out.
The midwife checked the genders of the two children and was overjoyed. She then reported this to Yunyi.
"Congratulations, Princess! You've given birth to a prince and a princess—twins!"
Yunyi had already come out of the system space. She nodded somewhat weakly and asked who was older and who was younger.
"The prince was born first, and the princess was younger."
After finding out the details, Yunyi asked the nanny to take the child out.
Two nannies came out of the delivery room and reported to Consort De and the Fourth Prince outside with joyful expressions.
From the moment they learned that Lady Song was pregnant with twins, Consort De and Yinzhen wondered what kind of babies she would have: two sons, two daughters, or, ideally, a boy and a girl, twins.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Song was truly blessed, as she actually gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The two were first surprised, then overjoyed.
Consort De was the first to take the little prince in her arms, overjoyed. "My dear grandson, you are so blessed."
Yinzhen was not unhappy when Consort De held her son; instead, he lovingly held his precious daughter.
The newborn baby's skin was red and wrinkled, and not very pretty, but Yinzhen thought that his daughter was the most beautiful and adorable girl in the world.
After holding him for a short while, the little boy became uncomfortable and started to cry.
Consort De quickly instructed the nanny, "Take the little prince down to the wet nurse; he must be hungry."
Perhaps it was a bond between siblings; when she heard her brother cry, the sister cried along with him.
Yinzhen had no choice but to watch reluctantly as the nanny took his daughter away.
Consort De was overjoyed to have both a grandson and a granddaughter. Her face was beaming with happiness, and her eyes and brows were filled with joy.
She turned to look at her son and said, "Fourth son, Song has done a great service this time. You should reward her well."
Yinzhen agreed with Consort De's words. He nodded and said, "Mother is right. Consort Song has done a great service by giving birth to a child this time and should be rewarded properly."
"Yes, it's good that you know. Now that Madam Song has given birth safely, it's not appropriate for your mother to stay in the prince's quarters, so I'll be leaving now."
Yinzhen stood up and bowed, saying, "It has been hard for Mother to make this trip. Your son respectfully sees you off."
When the news reached Emperor Kangxi, he was very pleased.
The eldest son has four daughters but no sons yet. The second son's previous son only lived for less than a month. He has a concubine who is pregnant, but she will not give birth for another two months. The third son does not have any concubines who are pregnant for the time being.
Emperor Kangxi knew that Lady Song was pregnant with twins. He originally thought she would give birth to two princesses, but it turned out to be a son and a daughter, a perfect match, and both children were exceptionally healthy.
I felt a bit emotional. I never expected that my fourth son would give birth to my first grandson, and it was even a pair of twins, such an auspicious sign! How wonderful!
With a flourish of his pen, Kangxi had an idea in mind and wrote down the two names: Hongyao and Hutuli.
"Liang Jiugong, convey my imperial decree: bestow the name Hongyao upon the eldest son of the Fourth Prince, and the name Hutuli upon the eldest daughter. Also, select some gifts to reward that Song woman; she has rendered great service this time."
When Liang Jiugong came to the prince's residence to read the imperial edict, Yunyi did not appear because she was in confinement after childbirth; she only expressed her gratitude.
Meanwhile, Yinzhen, accompanied by his two newborn infants, kowtowed outside to express his gratitude for the emperor's grace.
Upon hearing the news, the Empress Dowager, Consort Tong, Consort Wenxi, Consort Hui, Consort Rong, Consort De, Consort Yi, and others in the palace successively sent gifts to congratulate the Fourth Prince on the birth of his son.
Li Wanrou, who was already unhappy, became even more unhappy when she heard that Song Yunyi had given birth to a son and a daughter.
If she has two daughters or two sons, when she gets pregnant, the children she gives birth to will be able to stand for a long time.
Now, she's got both the eldest son and eldest daughter positions all to herself.
Li Wanrou was so angry that she wanted to punch the bed again, but remembering the painful experience of hitting her hand with it last time, she didn't dare to, and could only sulk by herself.
A month later, Yun Yisheng's two children turned one month old.
During this time, she found a quiet moment and gave her two children the pills she bought from the system store.
Because of some hidden agenda, Yunyi gave her son an intelligence-boosting pill, which she believed would make him smarter.
I give my daughter health-enhancing pills to make her healthier.
Princesses and noblewomen in the Qing Dynasty imperial family did not live long. Although Yunyi could not guarantee her daughter's future environment, she could give her a healthy body.
The prince's residence was particularly lively today, as it was the full moon celebration for the twins. Yinzhen originally wanted to keep it low-key and not hold a big event, but the two of them were really eye-catching.
On this day, all of Yinzhen's brothers came to congratulate him, and Yinreng was genuinely happy for his fourth brother.
Yinzhi felt a little jealous. He and his wife had worked hard for so many years and had four daughters but no sons. Now that the fourth prince had a son, he was extremely jealous, but on the surface he could only congratulate him happily.
Yinzhi had not yet married a wife, and none of his concubines were pregnant, so he didn't have any other feelings and simply congratulated his fourth brother.
After the full moon celebration, Yunyi's body had recovered almost completely after treatment.
Yinzhen then resumed his previous routine, spending a few days at Song's place and a few days at Li's place each month.
Of course, because Yunyi has two children, Yinzhen spends more time visiting her than before.
Yunyi gave birth to the eldest son and daughter of the Fourth Prince Yinzhen. Logically, she should have been promoted, but after much consideration, Yinzhen told Yunyi his thoughts.
He hasn't married a Fujin yet, and he lives in the palace without establishing his own residence. He plans to wait until next year when he marries a Fujin and moves out of the palace before requesting that Yunyi be granted the title of a secondary Fujin.
