In this dynasty, the birth of twins in the royal family, one boy and one girl, is considered auspicious, while two boys and two girls are considered inauspicious.
Upon hearing this news, Mo Chenyuan touched Jiang Tian's hand and found it to be ice-cold.
After instructing the divine physician not to leak the news, Mo Chenyuan dismissed him.
Once only the two of them remained in the hall, Mo Chenyuan made Jiang Tian look directly into his eyes: "Whether the child is a boy or a girl, I will keep it and raise it myself."
"But--"
"No buts. I am the emperor of a country. How can I not even raise my own children? That's absurd!"
Touching Jiang Tian's belly, Mo Chenyuan's tone softened: "Listen to the divine doctor's advice and focus on childbirth. I'll take care of everything else."
Jiang Tian looked at him with some doubt: "If you can't handle it, leave one child in the palace and I'll take the other one away and raise it myself. But if I want to see the child who stays in the palace, you have to let me see him all the time."
Mo Chenyuan gritted his teeth. He realized that Jiang Tian seemed to have an obsession with raising his child.
Without answering her question, Mo Chenyuan simply took off her shoes with a stern face: "Go to sleep quickly. The divine doctor said that you are weak and you must take a nap in the afternoon from now on."
Even though it was Jiang Tian who was pregnant, Mo Chenyuan was the one who summoned the imperial physician the most.
In addition to regularly taking Jiang Tian's pulse, Mo Chenyuan ordered the Imperial Medical Academy to write a book specifically about pregnant women.
He listed dozens of things, such as how to take care of pregnant women, how to strengthen their bodies, how to alleviate morning sickness, and so on. The imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital plucked all their beards before they could write them down within the stipulated time.
Mo Chenyuan read through the book line by line, and when he didn't understand something, he asked the people from the Imperial Hospital to explain it. After thoroughly understanding the book, he became more and more adept at taking care of Jiang Tian.
Mo Chenyuan is always the first to react to the slightest movement she makes.
As the months went by, Jiang Tian's symptoms became more and more pronounced. Seeing that Jiang Tian was so upset that she couldn't eat, Mo Chenyuan also stopped eating.
Holding the weakened Jiang Tian in his arms, looking at her belly, Mo Chenyuan pursed his lips and remained silent.
Then, Jiang Tian pinched his waist hard.
"What's wrong?" Mo Chenyuan asked hurriedly.
Jiang Tian glared at him angrily: "What do you mean, 'what'? Do you think I can't see what you're thinking? The child is mine, I want to have it, and if you dare to have any other thoughts, I'll take the child and leave!"
Mo Chenyuan did feel a little regretful just now.
Seeing how much Jiang Tian was suffering, he felt sorry for her but couldn't say anything. If she didn't have a child, she wouldn't have to endure so much pain.
Mo Chenyuan rested his head on her shoulder, his voice muffled: "I don't want to see you suffer."
"I want to have the baby, don't interfere..."
As they talked, Jiang Tian got sleepy again, fell into Mo Chenyuan's arms, and soon fell asleep.
Seeing her slender limbs, but her belly was shockingly large, Mo Chenyuan could not hide the heartache in his eyes.
Fortunately, the days without appetite did not last long, but the closer the due date got, the more restless Mo Chenyuan became.
He was afraid of waking Jiang Tian, so he wanted to sleep somewhere else, but Jiang Tian refused.
"Giving birth is like this, a brush with death. If I didn't truly love children, and... if I didn't love you, I definitely wouldn't have had a child. Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by fate, I'm not afraid of anything, so what are you afraid of?"
Mo Chenyuan waited for her to say "I love you" for an unknown amount of time.
He wanted to laugh, but his eyes were sore and stinging.
"God will protect us."
Jiang Tian patted his head, closed her eyes, and leaned against him.
Less than a month before the due date, one night, Mo Chenyuan suddenly went out. The next day, he returned with a chill and his forehead was bandaged.
"What did you go to do?" Jiang Tian asked anxiously.
Mo Chenyuan smiled and hugged her tighter.
He climbed 999 steps and kowtowed 999 times, wishing that all the gods and Buddhas would bless his beloved with peace and happiness.
On the day of delivery, Mo Chenyuan was so nervous that he could barely stand. He couldn't hear any other sounds, only Jiang Tian's cries.
When the midwife cheerfully told him that the Empress had safely given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
Jiang Tian teased Mo Chenyuan countless times about the fact that the mother was conscious after the child was born, while the father fainted.
By then, Mo Chenyuan had already learned how to change his little princess's diapers.
Despite being the ruler of a country, he wanted to learn everything.
The palace servants dared not disobey the emperor's orders, so they could only watch with trepidation as the emperor skillfully changed the child's diaper and then coaxed him to sleep.
Fortunately, the two children, perhaps truly blessed, are both very healthy, and as they grow up, their faces are so exquisite that they resemble the lucky dolls under the seat of an immortal.
When they reached their hundredth day, Mo Chenyuan granted a general amnesty and promoted Jiang Tian to a higher rank.
She is now a Noble Consort.
Mo Chenyuan's harem only has one person, who is currently a Noble Consort and will soon become Empress. The ministers all expected this.
Since the Emperor was willing to give them some face and promote Jiang Tian little by little, the officials naturally accepted it and none of them dared to say a word against Jiang Tian.
Xiao Zijue met Jiang Tian at the prince and princess's 100-day celebration.
The palace banquet was lively and bustling. Mo Chenyuan held Jiang Tian's hand, and as the officials bowed to them, the two sat together in the highest seat.
Upon seeing the two, Xiao Zijue stood frozen in place, and the key to understanding that he couldn't grasp immediately became clear.
No wonder the Emperor, being the supreme ruler, would care so much about his concubines.
No wonder!
Having thought it through, Xiao Zijue could only manage a wry smile, unsure of what expression to make.
He had no further connection with Jiang Tian, so what was wrong with the Emperor remembering her and bringing her into the palace? They even had two children together…
