Compared with single births, twins have a higher chance of having a difficult birth.
Bei Lingyao kept an eye on the situation in the delivery room. She entered the delivery room in the afternoon (15:00-17:00), and it was already dark.
She turned to the Queen Mother and said, "Mother, please return to the Cining Palace first. I will send Zhang De to inform you as soon as there is any news."
"If I don't leave, I will stay here."
How could the Queen Mother feel at ease if she went back? She could only stay here and guard the place. Even though she was a little tired, she felt at ease.
No matter how much Bei Lingyao tried to persuade her, the Queen Mother refused to leave, so she stopped trying.
However, the Queen Mother is old and not as strong as young people, so it is not a good idea to keep her like this.
Bei Lingyao immediately had someone prepare a chaise longue for the empress dowager next to the delivery room so that she could rest there.
The Queen Mother did not refuse this time. She sat for a while after dinner. When she was tired, she lay down on the chaise longue and took a short nap.
In the delivery room, An was also very tired. Bei Lingyao sent Shi Liu in and asked An and Nanny Sun to take turns to come out and rest, but An and Nanny Sun refused, saying that they were fine, not tired, and could hold on.
Bei Lingyao could only shout to Emperor Jiahe again, keeping an eye on the situation of Emperor Jiahe and the baby in her belly. She used her spiritual sense to comfort the baby in her belly, not letting the baby's feet point downwards to avoid causing a difficult delivery.
Time passed by little by little, and Bei Lingyao, who was waiting outside, felt that time was passing slowly and was very unbearable.
"Your Majesty, it's the Chou hour (1:00-3:00). Why don't you go and have a rest? I will be guarding here." Zhang De reminded in a low voice.
"No need, I'm not tired."
Bei Lingyao was not sleepy, and even if she was, she couldn't fall asleep.
The midwife's joyful voice was heard from the delivery room, "My lady, push harder, I can see the head coming out."
“Woo wow wow…”
The sound of a baby crying came from the delivery room.
The Queen Mother was suddenly awakened and ran out from next door without caring about her image.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty the Empress Dowager. Congratulations, Your Majesty the Zhuang Royal Concubine has given birth to a little prince. Both mother and child are safe."
"I'll give you a hug."
The Queen Mother was so excited that she was about to cry.
"There is still one baby. This servant must go in quickly."
The midwife placed the baby in the Queen Mother's arms with joy and hurried back to the delivery room.
Bei Lingyao's eyes fell on the little baby in the empress dowager's arms. The baby was red and its facial features made it difficult to tell who it was. But the empress dowager kept saying that it looked like the emperor, and she was speechless.
Anyway, she couldn't see it, but she didn't refute the Queen Mother. It was rare that the Queen Mother was happy, so she just let her be.
"My lady, breathe in, push harder."
"Woo wow wow"
Another baby cry.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty the Empress Dowager. Congratulations, Your Majesty the Zhuang Royal Concubine has given birth to a little princess. Both mother and daughter are safe."
"Rewards, everyone will be rewarded handsomely."
Bei Lingyao immediately asked Zhang De to distribute the rewards and arranged for the midwife to go down and rest.
An, Qu Ma and Shi Liu, who had been accompanying her during the birth, were also arranged by Bei Lingyao to rest.
"Leave the two children to the care of their mother. Let the wet nurse feed them if they are hungry."
"Go ahead, I won't stop you."
The Queen Mother knew that her son wanted to see Concubine Zhuang, and she didn't mind.
Concubine Zhuang was a great contributor to the mother and son's life. Now, looking at her pair of grandchildren, the empress dowager felt like she had found a treasure and was extremely happy.
Wow wow wow…
The two babies cried loudly, and the empress dowager smiled and asked the wet nurse to come and feed them.
The midwife and wet nurse were carefully selected by the mother and son over and over again. The empress dowager did not even dare to find them through the Yang family's connections.
Bei Lingyao walked into the delivery room. Emperor Jiahe looked tired, but he had not fallen asleep.
"Where's the child?"
Emperor Jiahe was speechless. He had gone through so much trouble to give birth to the children, but he only had time to take a quick look before they were carried away. He hadn't even had time to see the two babies clearly.
"At the Queen Mother's place, being fed by a wet nurse."
Bei Lingyao sat on the stool beside the bed and held Emperor Jiahe's hand, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard."
Emperor Jiahe couldn't even say that it wasn't painful. It was indeed very painful. He felt unwell all over and was too weak to move.
"Why did we change again?"
Emperor Jiahe was very depressed.
"I don't know either. Does Your Majesty know?"
Bei Lingyao said, "How about I go with the Emperor to see the great monk some other day?"
Emperor Jiahe shook his head slightly. He had had this thought when they first exchanged.
But he changed it back later, and now that he has a son, he is not worried anymore.
Naturally, the fewer people who know about this kind of bizarre thing, the better.
Emperor Jiahe was not at ease even with the great monks and masters.
"Let's not worry about that for now. I'll leave the court affairs to you. If you don't understand, just ask me. I'm going to sleep for a while, so you have to take good care of the child."
Emperor Jiahe was thinking about his children.
Bei Lingyao comforted him, watched him fall asleep, and covered him with a blanket.
Although the delivery room has been cleaned, it still smells of blood.
In the past, Emperor Jiahe would definitely not be able to bear it, but now he was tired and didn't care about it. He didn't even feel the bloody smell was strong and fell asleep quickly.
Bei Lingyao sat for a while, and only went over after the two wet nurses had fed the twins.
"How is Concubine Zhuang?"
"Nothing, I've already gone to bed."
The Queen Mother was relieved. She looked at her twin grandchildren, a boy and a girl, and said with great admiration, "I don't want to leave anymore."
She was reluctant to leave her two precious grandchildren.
"Then your Majesty will stay in Yongshou Palace tonight and return to Cining Palace tomorrow."
"Okay."
How could the Queen Mother not be happy?
Bei Lingyao thought it was an exaggeration that the twins had eight wet nurses, but the empress dowager did not think it was an exaggeration. She was just worried that her two grandchildren would not have enough to eat.
