In the early morning of the tenth day of August, Su Wanti gave birth to two babies.
A man and a woman.
The baby boy was born a few minutes earlier than the baby girl. He was the emperor's first son and the eldest son of the Daqi Emperor.
Because Su Wanti ate well, rested well, and had no worries throughout her pregnancy, she also bought fetal health pills, smart pills and other pills from the system mall.
Therefore, newborn babies are fair and chubby.
The two children were beautiful, just like the pair of little dolls on the folding screen with a hundred-year longevity painting that Su Wanti gave to the empress dowager. The baby boy looked like Leng Hong and the baby girl looked like Su Wanti.
The baby boy grew bigger, his arms and legs were chubby, he squinted his eyes tightly, clenched his fists, opened his mouth and cried loudly, his cry was loud and deafening.
The younger sister is a little smaller than her brother, but she looks whiter.
Unlike her brother, after she was born, she cried a few times like a kitten, then opened her eyes and began to look at the world.
Her eyes were as big and bright as Su Wanti's, and there was a spirit in her eyes.
The midwife cleaned the two children, wrapped them in soft swaddling clothes, and brought them to Su Wanti for her to see.
Su Wanti took pain-relieving pills. Although she didn't feel any pain during the delivery, she was very tired.
Now she looked like she had just been pulled out of the water, soaked in sweat all over, even her hair was wet.
She had expended too much energy, and even with the help of strength-enhancing pills, she still felt exhausted.
But the moment she saw the child, her tiredness and exhaustion disappeared, and her sleepy and dull eyes instantly lit up.
This glow contained joy and happiness, making her exude the gentleness of a new mother.
The two babies in the cradles are very close to each other, with their two fair little faces pressed together, just like two soft and sticky glutinous rice balls, which makes people's hearts soften and want to pinch them.
The younger sister had stopped crying. She was attracted by her brother's loud cry. She stared at her brother with her big, black eyes like grapes, who was crying loudly with his mouth open.
As if by telepathy, the little brother seemed to notice that his sister was looking at him. He tried hard to open his slender eyes, looked at his sister beside him, then pursed his lips and stopped crying.
Seeing this scene, Su Wanti laughed.
The nurse holding the baby also laughed, and the two nurses congratulated Su Wanti together.
"Your Majesty is so blessed. Both the little prince and the little princess are born beautiful and strong. This is the first time I have seen such smart and beautiful children."
Everyone in the delivery room knew that this pair of twins, boy and girl, had ensured the prosperity of Concubine Wan for her entire life.
If in the future the eldest prince is recognized by the emperor, is named the crown prince, and ascends the throne, then Concubine Wan will be the most noble woman in the harem.
Thinking of this, they became more respectful towards Su Wanti.
After the little prince and princess met their mother, they were carried out of the delivery room by their wet nurse to meet the empress dowager and the emperor.
The midwife and the female doctor had gone out to collect their rewards, and now only Su Wanti and a few of her palace servants were left in the delivery room.
Su Wanti leaned on the bed, half-closed her eyes, and drank the postpartum medicine brought by Mugwort. This medicine helps to contract the uterus and expel lochia.
After drinking it, my lower abdomen felt a little dull and painful, but it doesn’t matter, it’s a normal reaction.
"Did you find anything wrong?" Su Wanti said lightly. Now everyone in the room was hers.
Ai Ye whispered, "We caught a midwife and a female doctor. They've been sent away and locked up by Fang Cao."
"Has the Queen arrived?" Su Wanti raised her eyebrows slightly.
"The Empress has been here for a while now, accompanying the Emperor."
Su Wanti thought for a moment and said:
"Tell Fangcao to keep a close eye on those two and don't let them commit suicide. Also, tell Qingzhi to have someone take care of the little prince and princess and make sure no one does anything to them."
"I reckon the Emperor should be in soon. I'm so wet I'm feeling really uncomfortable, and it's hard for me to see the Emperor. Help me up and change my clothes. Then have someone replace the mattress with dry ones so I can lie down more comfortably."
When Leng Hong came in, Su Wanti had already changed her clothes.
She seemed very tired, half leaning on the bed with her eyes closed, allowing the palace maid to wipe her cheeks and hair with a silk handkerchief dipped in warm water.
The plum pink pajamas set off her fair skin the best, but at the moment, she was very weak, and her fair skin looked pale and weak, which made people feel distressed.
When Leng Hong saw this weak and pale face, his heart ached.
"My beloved." Leng Hong called softly, strode forward and held her hand.
He took her in his arms and let her lean against him.
The woman, who had lost all her strength, did not open her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and let him play with her.
Leng Hong lowered his eyes and saw the wet and soft hair on her temples and her pale face that had lost its color. His heart ached.
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently, "My beloved, you gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. I am so happy. I will give you whatever you want."
Su Wanti then raised her eyes slightly and said in a weak voice, "Your Majesty, our child is beautiful, isn't he?"
Leng Hong nodded and stroked her cheek with his big hand. "Very beautiful. Mother said that the prince looks like me, and the princess looks just like you. She will be the most beautiful woman in the world."
Su Wanti held his hand and said, "I don't want anything, as long as our child can grow up safely and healthily."
"besides"
She turned her head to look at Leng Hong, her slender collarbone faintly visible, and the watery eyes on her cold and pale face were full of fragility.
"I seek your Majesty's favor, the more the better."
In the past, her beauty and charm made his heart beat faster, but now, her fragility and thinness made him feel distressed.
Leng Hong hugged the woman in his arms tightly and said seriously: "Don't worry, my beloved concubine, I will give you all my love and make you the most noble woman by my side."
After Leng Hong said this, Su Wanti's mind moved slightly.
More honorable than the queen? she thought.
At this moment, Su Wanti was thinking in her heart,
Leng Hong's mind is not on the harem, but he has a strong desire for control and wants everything to be under his control.
He doesn't care about the affairs of the harem, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know about it.
Perhaps, Leng Hong knew as much about the affairs of the harem as she did.
Perhaps, if she wanted to overthrow the Queen in the future, she wouldn't even need to do anything...
————
The little prince and princess also live in Ganxiao Palace. Although Leng Hong and Su Wanti, the young parents, love their children, they only play with them for an hour or so every day before going about their own business.
Leng Hong still focused on the affairs of the previous dynasty and spent most of his time dealing with government affairs. In his spare time, he would read books and think of names for his two children.
Su Wanti had to sleep at least eight hours a day. She didn't sleep well in the late stages of pregnancy, and pregnancy and childbirth consumed her physical strength, so she used long periods of sleep to replenish her energy.
However, they didn't need to worry about the little prince and princess, as they had a special wet nurse to take care of them. Moreover, the empress dowager doted on the two grandchildren very much. She would go to Ganxiao Palace every day to watch over the two grandchildren until sunset.
