"Yes, compared to other women who don't have children, having a child is already good enough. What else can I be dissatisfied with?"
But she just doesn't want to accept it. How can she accept it?
A Liangyuan who entered the palace more than ten years later than her, no, now it should be called Liangdi.
She won the prince's heart, favor, status, and everything.
She murmured, "Mammy, I regret it..."
After she finished speaking, she chuckled, laughing at herself for still sticking to such ridiculous principles even after entering the palace.
In this harem, who doesn’t have blood on their hands? Which wife doesn’t have the blood of illegitimate sons and daughters on her hands?
If she could give up this principle and listen to her mother, wouldn't Tu Qingyu's twins be...
Something in her heart was slowly loosening.
A seed gradually sprouted, and she did not stop it, allowing it to grow freely.
But she didn't see that underneath the seeds was not healthy and fertile soil, but a dark abyss.
The twins' third-day bath celebration was a grand one. Firstly, they were the only two children born to the crown prince, and secondly, the emperor firmly believed that these two children were lucky stars, so a grand banquet had to be held.
Three days later, the redness on the two babies' faces faded, their eyes opened, and they became plump and white, very pleasing to the eye.
The emperor fell in love with it at first sight and couldn't let it go.
It was winter and they couldn't stay outside for too long. After the third-day bathing ceremony, they were taken downstairs to drink milk.
He looked at Jiang Jingchuan and asked, "Is Tu Liangdi okay?"
"Replying to Father, Concubine Liang is recovering well."
"I remember that your Crown Princess is about to give birth, right?"
"Yes, the imperial physician said, there are still ten days left."
"Okay, that's great." He patted Jiang Jingchuan's shoulder, "Come and have a couple of drinks with me."
"Father, your body is not fit for drinking right now."
"It's rare to be happy today."
"Even if you're happy, you can't use your body..."
"Okay, okay, you're really becoming more and more long-winded."
The court officials below watched the father and son interacting with each other without any courtesy, and they felt surprised but more satisfied.
The emperor clearly indicated to whom he would pass the throne. Wasn't it a blessing for his subjects?
Following any prince to succeed in winning the throne, even if you have the merit of following the dragon, isn't there a huge risk involved?
The slightest carelessness will lead to eternal damnation. Since ancient times, few powerful ministers have had a good ending.
Most people were very satisfied, except for the concubines sitting on top, who were gritting their teeth.
But he had to admit that his son was no match for the prince.
The four princes were defeated by the prince together, and the other concubines who had sons were unwilling to let their sons take risks.
After the third baptism, the two children grew up to be more and more beautiful.
Every time Jiang Jingchuan came back from court, he would go to see Tu Qingyu and hug the children.
The twins are very well behaved. They mostly eat and sleep, and are not awake for very long.
That day, Jiang Jingchuan finished his official business as usual and then took the two children to bed to play with them.
Sometimes he lets the baby grab his fingers to exercise their arm strength, and sometimes he waves dark objects in front of them.
The baby's big, black, clear eyes were rolling around, his little hands were waving, his feet were kicking hard, and a "hmm~" sound came out of his mouth.
Little Orange squatted beside the bed, and together with Tu Qingyu who was leaning against it, watched the three of them, father and son, play.
After a while, the babies were tired from playing and were taken away by the nanny to sleep.
Jiang Jingchuan turned around and hugged Tu Qingyu, "Yu'er, the two children are growing up so well. Thank you."
"Your Highness." Tu Qingyu laughed, "You have said thank you many times during this period. There is no need to be so polite between you and me."
"You're right."
He said, burying his face in her shoulder.
"Your Highness, I haven't taken a bath in a long time."
In fact, she didn't need to stay in confinement for the whole month. She drank some spiritual liquid on the day of giving birth and was fully revived.
But it would seem too strange for her not to observe the confinement period, so Nanny Yang also took care of her during the confinement period strictly according to the standards of an ordinary woman.
It is impossible to take a bath, I just wipe my hair and body occasionally.
If she really couldn't stand them not opening the windows, she wouldn't even open them on weekdays.
Fortunately, she was indeed very clean.
She had cultivated spiritual power herself, and when she was pregnant, the baby brought two innate energies with her.
Since the babies didn't know how to practice cultivation, she guided the two babies to absorb as much of this innate energy as possible.
But after ten months, the two babies tried their best and only absorbed one portion.
The remaining innate energy was absorbed by her the moment the two babies were born.
This innate energy is born with the fetus. Even if it is not absorbed, it will automatically dissipate when the child is born.
After absorbing the innate energy, her spiritual power was further improved, and she could easily perform the small dust removal technique.
"Really?" Jiang Jingchuan didn't mind at all, "But I think you smell good all over."
That familiar, light scent of camellia would accompany him to sleep every night.
"Your Highness, Master." At this time, Nanny Yang stood outside the door and reported, "Someone just came from Yichun Palace and said that the queen is about to give birth. Please go down."
Jiang Jingchuan's first reaction was not happiness, but rather a sense of impatience at being disturbed.
But it would be unreasonable for him not to go when the Crown Princess gave birth.
He reached out and patted Tu Qingyu, "I'll go take a look, you go to sleep first, no need to wait for me."
Tu Qingyu propped himself up and said, "I'll go with His Highness to take a look."
"Nonsense!" His brows furrowed. "It's freezing outside, and you're still in confinement after childbirth. Why are you going out?"
He tucked the person into the quilt and said, "Go to bed quickly, or you'll freeze."
"That……"
Almost everyone in the Eastern Palace knew about the Crown Princess's health condition, and the imperial physician had been invited too frequently in the past two days.
"I'll go and see her. I'll call the best imperial physician. Don't worry, the Crown Princess will be fine."
Even if something happens, it can't happen in the next one or two years. No matter who it is for, he will take action to protect the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess must hold on until her father passes away.
"Go to sleep and don't worry about it. I'll take care of everything."
"good."
“Ah—Ah—!!”
"My Lady, push harder, my Lady, I've already opened all ten of your fingers, please don't shout yet, save your energy, my Lady——!"
“It hurts, it hurts so much, ah——!”
As soon as Jiang Jingchuan entered Yichun Palace, he heard a series of screams.
Basins of blood and water were brought out from the delivery room, and the palace maids were so busy that they couldn't even keep their feet on the ground.
"Greetings, Your Highness. May Your Highness be well and safe."
"No need to be polite. How is the Crown Princess?"
"The queen has been in for a while. Please sit here for a while. I think the queen will give birth soon."
I heard that Tu Liangdi will give birth soon, so it shouldn’t take long for the Empress to give birth too... right?
