Li Zhao felt that he had never been so happy in his life. It was the kind of happiness that reached a climax both spiritually and physically.
At this moment, he felt that he was loved and cared for.
The emperor and empress slept in each other's arms.
Ten months later, Jiang Yi gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Li Zhao issued a general amnesty and named the children Huaijin for the eldest son and Huaiyu for the eldest daughter.
Xiao Yuer is the older sister. She was able to open her eyes when she was born. Compared to her wrinkled brother, her skin is even whiter and she doesn't look like a newborn baby at all.
Li Zhao loved his daughter dearly. He carried Xiao Yu'er to Jiang Yi's bed and said, "My daughter looks like you, fair and lovely. You may not remember that when you were three months old, Madam Jiang brought you into the palace. I also held you then. Xiao Yu'er looks exactly like you then."
Jiang Yi had actually heard about this from her mother, who said that she had urinated all over Li Zhao at that time.
So when she entered the palace again and saw Li Zhao at the age of three, she felt a little uncomfortable.
These things are too small and too detailed, and are buried in the long river of time. If you don’t think about them deliberately, you won’t be able to remember them.
But Jiang Yi was surprised to find that she actually remembered everything.
Li Zhao secretly said to Jiang Yi: "Although Xiao Yu'er is the elder sister, I want her to be the younger sister. Why don't we change their birth dates?"
Jiang Yi was at a loss for words and said, "It's just a short moment, is it that serious?"
Li Zhao said: "I don't want to, I want to change. Our little Yu'er was born to have an older brother and be raised under his care."
"You don't know, when I was little, I envied your brother for having a sister like you."
Jiang Yi's smile faded a little when she heard this. She also remembered her elder brother. Her elder brother was also a brilliant young man. He passed the imperial examination at the age of eight, but eventually died due to the emperor's suspicion and calculation.
Jiang Yi touched Xiao Yuer's cheek and looked at Li Huaijin in the distance.
This is her eldest son, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Dashun, the future emperor.
The old emperor was extremely cautious at that time, trying to prevent his aunt from giving birth to an heir to the throne. He probably never imagined that the future king of Dashun would one day have the blood of the Jiang family.
Li Zhao also knew that he had said the wrong thing. He covered Jiang Yi's hand and said, "I met your fifth cousin before. He said that your cousin's wife missed you very much. I asked her to come to the palace. Would you two sisters-in-law have a chat?"
Although he is called a cousin, Jiang Tong is actually the child of Jiang Yi’s second grandfather. They are quite distant from each other, but he is also one of the closest relatives among Jiang Yi’s clansmen.
When the Jiang family was ransacked, Jiang Tong was actually only twelve years old. After being exiled for ten years, he had long lost his youthful appearance and naturally had no talents.
Although Jiang Tong was a mediocre person, he was Jiang Yi's elder brother, so Li Zhao hired him as an exception. Fortunately, this fifth cousin was also diligent and never let Li Zhao down.
Jiang Yi's relationship with his sister-in-law was not very deep, but he still let her enter the palace.
This was considered a compliment, making everyone think that Jiang Yi and the Jiang brothers had a good relationship.
The next day, Jiang's sister-in-law came over.
This sister-in-law was married to Jiang Tong when he was in exile. She was also a person who had been exiled. Because she married Jiang Tong, she was able to return to the capital and became an official's wife.
However, she still had those old bad habits and didn't know much about the etiquette in the capital, so Jiang Yi was very tolerant of her.
This sister-in-law gave Jiang Tong a son and a daughter, one five years old and the other three years old.
Jiang Yi said to her, "When Huaijin and Huaiyu grow up, let them enter the palace to be companions to the prince and princess."
Sister Jiang was immediately surprised and said, "Really?"
"Of course I'm serious. For this kind of thing, I naturally have to focus on my family. At their age, it's time to send them to school. It's always good to start studying early and learn more. They are the hope of the Jiang family, and I value them very much."
Sister Jiang said repeatedly: "Yes."
He added, "The Jiang family is grateful to you."
"Yes,"
She suddenly hesitated and said, "My Lord, there is something I want you to pass on to Your Majesty."
"What?" Jiang Yi had just given birth to a child and was already a little tired after talking for a short while. She asked while forcing herself to stay healthy.
Sister Jiang then asked, "Master, do you think the Queen still remembers the hatred towards the Jiang family?"
Jiang Yi's eyes widened suddenly. "Just this one sentence?"
Sister Jiang then continued, "The Master also said that the Queen has given birth to the Crown Prince, so if there are things she wants to do, she should do them."
Jiang Yi calmed down, her face a little serious, "Go back and tell my cousin to take whatever little thoughts he has into his mind and keep them firmly in his heart, and not to think about them at all."
"Not to mention that the Crown Prince is still young, even when he grows up, he shouldn't be able to say this."
"As a minister, you must fulfill your duties as a minister."
"Forget it, I'm tired, you can leave the palace first."
Sister Jiang retreated with a pale face.
Jiang Yi was already very tired, but she couldn't sleep well. Fortunately, Li Zhao came over soon.
Seeing that Jiang Yi looked a little haggard, he helped her up and fed her some water.
"What's going on? Madam Jiang is entering the palace. Aren't you happy?"
"Not really." Jiang Yi was always reluctant to tell Li Zhao about Jiang Tong's words. She thought for a moment and said, "I'm just a little tired and want to sleep."
"Then go to sleep." Li Zhao said, "Mammy is watching Huaijin and Huaiyu. I'll go and comfort them later."
Jiang Yi said, "I want Brother Zhao to sleep with me."
