Qingyao's birth was unexpectedly earlier than expected, and coincidentally on this joyous and bustling New Year's Day. It was as if these two adorable babies couldn't contain their excitement and joy, eager to break free from their mother's warm embrace and explore this new and wonderful world.
On this special night, after the Emperor personally carefully washed Qingyao, the two of them sat together by the open window of their bedroom. The bright moonlight fell on them like a veil, illuminating their eyes as they gazed deeply into each other's hearts. They quietly admired the moon hanging high in the night sky, feeling each other's body warmth and heartbeats. They embraced each other and whispered New Year's blessings and hopes.
However, in this warm and romantic moment, something unexpected happened. Without warning, Qingyao's stomach suddenly felt a sharp pain, as if struck by a heavy hammer. The Emperor was instantly horrified. He tightly grasped Qingyao's hand and anxiously asked, "Qing'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" His words were filled with concern and worry.
Qingyao endured the excruciating pain in her abdomen, feeling the familiar, intense contractions once again. She looked up at the Emperor's face, pale with panic, and spoke with difficulty, "Jun Yan, I'm afraid... I think I'm about to give birth."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor panicked. The usually calm and composed Emperor was now completely disoriented, spinning around like a child, muttering, "What should I do? What should I do?" His bewildered expression made Qingyao, who was originally nervous and frightened, burst into laughter.
Seeing the Emperor so flustered, Qingyao took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. She gently took the Emperor's hand and said softly, "Don't panic, idiot. Send for the imperial physician and an experienced midwife as well."
The Emperor suddenly came to his senses, his expression tense for a moment, and without hesitation, he carried Qingyao in his arms and hurried towards the dragon bed, shouting at the same time: "Hurry, someone!"
Dong Zhu and others rushed in upon hearing the noise. When they saw the situation, they immediately knew that Qingyao was about to give birth, and they quickly called the midwife and the imperial physician over.
The imperial physician was seen waiting anxiously outside the screen with a respectful look on his face, while the midwife was methodically ordering Dongxue and others to quickly fetch water. Dongxue and Dongzhu looked solemn, standing there intently, their eyes alert to prevent anyone with ill intentions from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
So, the Emperor was left alone outside the delivery room, pacing back and forth anxiously. Especially when he heard Qingyao's heart-wrenching screams, the Emperor was instantly frightened and his face turned pale. His legs gave way, and he fell to the ground, his whole body as if he had lost his soul.
Fortunately, the chief eunuch Li Cheng beside him was quick-witted and quickly helped him up. The emperor could not help but tremble all over at this time, and his body trembled uncontrollably. His mind was in a mess, and he could not imagine whether he would have the courage to continue living if Qingyao really left him.
Fortunately, within an hour, Qingyao gave birth to a son and a daughter—a delightful pair of twins, a boy and a girl. As the babies were born, a dazzling ray of light suddenly appeared in the night sky. This extraordinary spectacle was witnessed by the entire Celestial Empire. Everyone knelt in reverence, chanting incantations, believing it to be the birth of a lucky star and a sign of great fortune.
The Emperor himself witnessed this miraculous sight, and everyone in the palace was stunned. The vibrant cry of a baby echoed, and the radiant glow vanished like a dream.
At this time, a palace maid hurried over to report to the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, the Empress has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl."
The Emperor asked anxiously, "How is the Empress? Is she in good health?"
The palace maid hurriedly said to the emperor, "Your Majesty is fine."
When the Emperor heard this, he felt relieved and at ease. He immediately rushed into the delivery room regardless of everything. The people around him were so scared that they rushed forward to stop him. However, the Emperor completely ignored everyone's attempts to stop him and rushed in anxiously.
When the Emperor saw Qingyao lying on the bed with a weak face and her eyes closed, and the two children lying quietly beside her, he was frightened and his heart was in his throat. He hurried forward in two steps and carefully confirmed that Qingyao was just asleep due to exhaustion. Only then did he finally breathe a sigh of relief and feel relieved.
Looking at the two babies on the bed, Dijun couldn't help but smile knowingly. He held one carefully, then gently held the other. Since he was not very experienced in holding a baby, his movements seemed a little flustered. It was with the patient guidance of the experienced midwife that he finally held the two babies steadily.
When Qingyao woke up the next morning, she saw the Emperor sitting alone beside the child's bed, with a silly, happy smile on his face.
Qingyao couldn't help but smile. The Emperor felt that Qingyao had woken up and immediately asked nervously, "Qing'er, how do you feel?"
Qingyao shook her head, indicating she was fine. She'd taken the magical pills System Xiaoyi had given her last night after giving birth, so she was in excellent condition. If it weren't for the two children witnessing her, no one would have believed she'd just given birth. Qingyao's face now took on a gentle, maternal expression.
Twelve years later, the only sound heard in the palace was the Emperor shouting angrily, "Di Yao, stop right there! How could you have made your brother like this?"
Before seeing the person, I heard her voice first. The crisp voice of a baby girl came from afar: "Father, my brother is so fragile. I just touched him lightly, and he fell down, and there was such a big cut. I didn't mean to do it. You can't chase me and beat me anymore, otherwise I will tell mother that you beat me." Upon hearing this, the emperor became even more angry, and his chest heaved violently.
