Is it pretty?
A cool, breezy sound.
Nan Zhi looked at Xiao Lanchuan, who had appeared out of nowhere, and guiltily hugged his arm, saying, "It doesn't look good."
"Are they prettier, or am I prettier?"
"Of course His Majesty is more handsome."
"Say some nice things, or I won't let you off the hook."
Nanzhi smelled the vinegar in the air, stared at him for a long time, and suddenly said, "I love you."
Xiao Lanchuan was startled.
He didn't speak, he just looked at her quietly.
The palace servants all withdrew, leaving only the two of them in the vast palace.
Nanzhi tilted her head up, touched his lips, and whispered, "Your Majesty, I love you."
She kissed his chin and collarbone, and whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty, I love you so much."
Xiao Lanchuan's breathing became a little erratic. He held her shoulders and listened to her speak.
"I think about you every minute of every second, and I want to see you every moment."
"I want to be with you through thick and thin, through life and death. In the next life, and the life after that, for all eternity, I want to be with you."
Snowflakes fluttered outside the window, and plum blossoms bloomed.
Her voice, one after another, relentlessly burrowed into his heart.
Xiao Lanchuan hated deception more than anything in his life, and he had come to settle accounts with her today.
But at this moment, those thoughts seemed to have vanished.
I have to admit, she's quite capable.
At this moment, he was still lost in her words, and his voice was low and hoarse as he spoke: "You better promise to love me for the rest of your life, or I will kill you."
Nan Zhi raised her hand: "I swear, I will love Your Majesty for the rest of my life. If I break this oath, may I suffer a terrible fate..."
Before she could utter the last word, "death," Nanzhi's mouth was gagged.
He lost control, kissing and biting her, making her feel like her bones were going to go weak.
Her breathing was slightly erratic, and she looked at him with her eyelids half open.
Xiao Lanchuan saw that her eyes were moist and shimmering with spring-like light, tender and affectionate, which made the corners of her eyes blush.
He momentarily forgot that she was pregnant, and his hand instinctively reached under her skirt, but Nanzhi suddenly grabbed his hand.
Xiao Lanchuan raised his head slightly, his eyes surging with emotion; looking at him for even a moment longer felt like drowning in it.
But now is not the right time.
Nan Zhi took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, I'm about to give birth."
Xiao Lanchuan was momentarily flustered when he saw her skirt quickly becoming soaked. He almost slipped on the steps when he turned to call for help.
Nanzhi couldn't help but smile as she looked at him.
He's actually a pretty good guy, but in reality, how could there be such a good man?
Therefore, she always kept things clear and never let herself become addicted.
Xiao Lanchuan had the midwife make preparations early on, so things weren't chaotic at the moment.
Nan Zhi didn't feel anything, but after all, she was pregnant. And this wasn't modern times where she could just get an epidural to get through the pain. If she didn't scream, she might frighten people.
She made a few exaggerated shouts.
Then Xiao Lanchuan's voice came from outside: "Don't stop me, I want to go in."
Nan Zhi was pregnant with twins, which was already quite dangerous, and her heart condition had not yet healed, making the danger even greater.
Xiao Lanchuan was scared.
The thought of her lying silently in his arms that time terrified him.
He didn't know if she had lied to him back then.
But right now, he can't gamble.
Seeing that the palace servants couldn't stop her, Nanzhi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you are not allowed to come in. If you come in, I will ignore you."
"But I need to keep an eye on you to feel at ease."
Nan Zhi was touched by Xiao Lanchuan's concern.
But childbirth is a bloody affair, and no matter how much a man loves her, he shouldn't be allowed to see it.
Otherwise, even the greatest love might gradually fade away because of that scene.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I'll be fine. Please don't come in; I don't want you to see me looking bad."
Her insistence finally made Xiao Lanchuan stop. He said, "Then you must promise me that you will be safe and sound. Otherwise, no one in Changqiu Palace will survive."
He still enjoys threatening her.
But Nan Zhi smiled and said, "I promise Your Majesty."
It finally got quiet outside.
Inside the room, the midwife said, "Your Highness, don't be nervous, relax. When you feel pain, just inhale and exhale!"
Nanzhi did as she was told.
At first, she didn't feel anything at all, but after six hours, she felt a slight pain in her abdomen and pelvis.
[Zhizhi, don't worry. I initially shielded you from pain, but now you're fully dilated. I've reduced some of the anesthesia so you can still feel the pain; otherwise, with your body numb, you wouldn't be able to give birth.]
Fortunately, the pain was very mild, occurring on average every five minutes. Following the midwife's instructions, Namzhi pushed when the pain occurred, and half an hour later, the baby was safely delivered.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's a princess."
Outside the Changqiu Palace's sleeping quarters, there was not only Xiao Lanchuan, but also Consort Zhou and several other concubines.
When the midwife said it was a princess, they all relaxed.
She was just a princess. Hopefully, the next one will be the same, so they will still have a chance to give birth to the eldest prince.
But to their surprise, things didn't go as they expected.
Nanzhi gave birth to a boy as her second child.
Since ancient times, twins born to be boys have been considered a very bad omen.
Now, Nanzhi has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, a very auspicious and lucky event.
This is not what surprised everyone.
When the last prince was born, auspicious clouds appeared in the sky, and a phoenix and a golden dragon appeared above Changqiu Palace, circling for a long time before slowly dissipating.
The palace servants, witnessing this scene, all knelt on the ground to congratulate the Emperor and Empress on the birth of their blessed child.
The concubines also knelt reluctantly.
