Seeing that Xu Lingyi's originally pale face seemed to have become even paler, Qi Yuan quickly said, "No, it's actually very cute. I was just joking."
How could he think their child was ugly?
There must be something wrong with his eyes.
"Your Majesty, I want to see the child."
The midwife moved too quickly just now.
"Okay, I'll go get it right away."
As Qi Yuan went out, he saw the Empress Dowager and Qi Yun holding a child each, both of them with loving faces, as if they were reluctant to let go.
"She's so beautiful! Look at that little nose and those little eyes... She's got all the markings, worthy of being my grandchild..."
The Empress Dowager was full of praise, and Qi Yun nodded in response.
"Mother, I will take the child to show the princess."
The Empress Dowager showed her reluctance to part with them. She didn't know how much she cherished these two children now.
But he still didn't refuse, "It's my duty, just hold it carefully."
Qi Yuan reached out and took one of the children.
His whole body stiffened instantly. The child was much smaller and softer than he had imagined, like a ball of cotton.
The Empress Dowager couldn't help but laugh, "Your uncle is so stupid now."
Qi Yun smiled silently, but didn't dare to respond. After all, the emperor's uncle was his elder.
But it was also the first time he saw his uncle so cautious and at a loss.
It was as if he was holding not a child but an ancestor.
"Give the child to the nanny, don't drop the child." The Empress Dowager suggested.
Qi Yuan nodded and carefully handed the child to the nanny. Only then did he feel relieved.
————
To be honest, Xu Lingyi was a little disappointed when she saw the two children for the first time.
"Your Highness...the two children are really a bit ugly."
Xu Lingyi stared at Qi Yuan's face.
"I know that newborn babies are always a little strange, but..."
She had seen newborn babies, all of them were wrinkled.
But why is her and Qi Yuan’s child uglier than any other child she has seen before?
She couldn't help but reach out her hand, and with very light force, she carefully touched the faces of the two children.
"They look like two little mice. Your Majesty is right. They are indeed ugly yet adorable."
Xu Lingyi had a gentle smile on her lips and her eyes were full of love.
The nanny listened beside her, not daring to speak.
Only the two masters dare to say this.
Actually, it's a bit ugly, but newborn babies are not much better.
"Your Highness, do all the children look like you..." Xu Lingyi couldn't help but look up and look at Qi Yuan's face.
He is not ugly. Could it be that she thinks beauty is in the eyes of her lover?
Qi Yuan: “…”
"I think so too. I am the one who is sorry for them."
Qi Yuan was depressed. With Xu Lingyi's appearance, if the two children looked somewhat like her, they wouldn't be like this.
"But it's alright. Whether the child of yours or me is ugly or beautiful is of no importance. No one dares to despise them."
He will protect them, be a good father, and will not let them suffer any injustice.
————
The two children grew up very fast and became more handsome every day. When they were almost two years old, they no longer looked like they did when they were just born.
Qi Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Now it seems that he has not dragged down the appearance of his two children.
"Daddy!! Daddy, Baoer wants to ride a big horse."
Baoer is the younger sister of the twins, and is only two years old.
The baby's voice is so sweet and its round face makes it even cuter.
Not only Xu Lingyi and Qi Yuan, but also the Empress Dowager in the palace could not say anything to refuse her.
"Okay." Qi Yuan agreed lovingly.
Qi Yun's health has not been very good recently.
Qi Yuan had been handling state affairs almost exclusively during this period, but no matter how busy he was, all his fatigue seemed to disappear when he saw his two children.
The room was filled with the childish laughter of children.
"Daddy, it's my brother's turn."
Baoer grabbed his brother's hand and wanted to carry him on Qi Yuan's back.
But she ignored her own strength. She was so small that it was difficult for her to carry the baby by herself, so how could she possibly hold her brother?
Eventually both children fell to the ground.
Because there are two children, the hall is covered with carpets, so it won’t hurt even if they fall on them.
"Don't cry, sister. It doesn't hurt at all."
Perhaps because they are born of the same mother, the two children have been very close since childhood.
My brother has a gentle personality and always speaks slowly.
The younger sister is a little overbearing towards others, but she is very nice to her brother.
————
One day.
"Mother, mother, Baoer hates bad brothers."
The little girl stumbled over and ran over like a firecracker, ready to rush into Xu Lingyi's arms.
Qi Yuan quickly picked up the child and held him in his arms.
"Bao'er, dear, is your father holding you?"
Baoer looked at Qi Yuan, then at Xu Lingyi, and shook his head without hesitation, "Father is stinky, Baoer likes mother, and wants her to hold him."
Qi Yuan: “…”
Qi Yuan couldn't help but smell himself, "Where does it stink?"
Xu Lingyi took the child with a smile, "You just sweated. Our Baoer is born with a sensitive nose."
Only after nestling in Xu Lingyi's arms did Baoer feel satisfied. He put his face against Xu Lingyi and kissed her hard.
"Bao'er loves mother so much."
The little girl is three years old now. She is rounder than when she was two years old, and she looks very cute.
Every time Xu Lingyi hugged her, she couldn't help but pinch her chubby face.
"How did your brother offend you?" Xu Lingyi touched her extremely soft hair.
