Six months later.
On a sunny afternoon, Zhou Shi'an was having lunch with Yun Qing.
The smell of meat dishes made her feel nauseous, and she almost vomited while covering her mouth.
"Quickly summon the imperial physician!"
Zhou Shi'an hurriedly carried the person to the bed.
The head of the Imperial Medical Academy rushed over, took Yun Qing's pulse, stroked his gray beard, and smiled as he bowed to the two of them.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Empress is pregnant."
Upon hearing this result, both of them widened their eyes in surprise.
They weren't in a hurry to have children; Zhou Shi'an didn't even want to have children so soon.
He and Yun Qing had only enjoyed less than a year of their time together as a couple, and he didn't want any brat to bother them.
But since they had it, they both gladly accepted it.
Yun Qing has just turned nineteen, so she is not too young. At this age, having children will not cause much harm to her body.
Yun Qing is the one who is pregnant, but a whole bunch of people are suffering.
If her personality was delicate before, she became extremely demanding after becoming pregnant.
Upon receiving the news, the Yun family rushed from Stone Village to the palace to be with her.
However, Yunqing still found the palace too stuffy and always wanted to go out for a stroll.
When she was two months pregnant, she started experiencing morning sickness and couldn't eat anything except the food cooked by Zhou Shi'an.
After finishing his morning court session, Zhou Shi'an rushed back to make her breakfast.
Three months later, Yunqing's belly swelled up like an inflating balloon. The imperial physicians took turns examining her pulse and finally concluded that she was carrying twins.
This terrified Zhou Shi'an even more. Apart from the morning court session which lasted half an hour, he spent the rest of his time in Jingren Palace, taking care of Yun Qing without leaving her side.
After more than eight months, the pregnancy finally started.
Strangely, Yun Qing didn't feel much pain and soon gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl (system perk, don't apply this to reality, childbirth is very difficult for pregnant women in real life).
However, Zhou Shi'an, who was by the bedside, saw that she was covered in sweat from exhaustion and felt so sorry for her that he shed tears.
Seeing his expression, Yun Qing couldn't help but laugh.
After the child was born, Zhou Shi'an had not yet decided on a name, so Yun Qing first gave him two nicknames.
“When we met, you were still called Zhou Da, so let’s name these two kids Zhou Xiao Er and Zhou Xiao Xiao, as a way to commemorate our meeting.”
When Zhou Shi'an first heard these two names, he thought they were nothing special.
After hearing the explanation, I felt that Yun Qing was simply a genius, and I was almost moved to tears on the spot.
As Zhou Xiaoer and Zhou Xiaoxiao grew up, some people around them began to have concerns.
Zhou Xiaoer, as the crown prince of the Zhou Dynasty, inherited Yun Qing's willful and spoiled nature, often causing the tutors a lot of headaches.
Prince Zhou Xiaoxiao, the only jewel of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has a penchant for climbing trees, walking dogs, and wielding weapons, making him a spitting image of Zhou Shi'an in his youth.
The parents were getting anxious and wanted to help their unreliable child correct his temperament.
To everyone's surprise, Zhou Shi'an and Yun Qing felt that this was not a problem at all.
"Father, Mother, please don't worry about it."
Yun Qing watched Zhou Xiaoxiao raiding a bird's nest in a tree and offered her opinion: "Who says boys have to be strong and brave, and girls have to be gentle and virtuous?"
“What Yunqing said is exactly what I was thinking.” Zhou Shi’an gazed tenderly at his lover.
"I'm glad that Xiao Er is like Yun Qing, and it's not bad that Xiao Xiao is like me. As the only jewel of my Great Zhou Dynasty, I naturally have the right to do as I please. Who dares to say anything against me?"
Seeing their attitude, Yun's parents sighed and finally gave up. As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings.
Fortunately, Xiao Er and Xiao Xiao were not spoiled by their parents and grew into two sensible and reasonable children.
Later, Xiao Xiao left the palace and became a famous female knight-errant in the martial arts world. She even went to the border and brought back General Li's grandson to be her son-in-law.
