Chapter 156 Congratulations to the Emperor!
He walked forward to support the old general, his voice hoarse.
"Don't worry, old general. Divine Doctor Song is delivering the baby for Concubine Zhao inside. Concubine Zhao will be fine. Please sit down and take a breath and rest for a while."
General Xiao's eyes were red.
He was helped to sit down by the emperor himself. Looking at the tightly closed door, his fingers trembled uncontrollably.
He choked up and said, "If anything happens to Concubine Zhao, how can I explain it to Ling Zhao... He has only loved this girl in his life. He went to Taihu Water Village to suppress the bandits just to make merit and come back to pick up Concubine Zhao. If he goes through so much hardship and comes back only to see Concubine Zhao's cold body, he... he..."
The old general burst into tears, "I'm afraid he will go crazy..."
Xie Junlin’s back stiffened.
He didn't dare to think about what Xiao Lingzhao would do if something happened to Concubine Zhao.
With trembling hands, he turned his back to General Xiao and stared at the door in silence.
Shen Yuanwei, nothing must happen to you.
I would rather you leave with Xiao Lingzhao, I would rather watch you live happily with another man than die in there...
You must fight for your dignity and make it through this stage.
The ministers in the room were filled with sadness when they saw the white-haired General Xiao crying.
The Xiao family is really miserable. They finally got a daughter-in-law, but she was snatched away by the emperor. Now they finally got through it, but her daughter-in-law was killed by the empress dowager, and her life or death is uncertain...
well.
They walked silently to General Xiao, patted his shoulders gently one by one, and comforted him.
Everyone waited quietly, and the room was filled with silence.
Everyone waited for a long time with nervous hearts, and finally, there was movement in the room.
It's crying.
“Woooooooooooooooooo——”
A tender baby cry was heard, followed by another cry, each one louder than the last, as if competing with the previous one.
Everyone was stunned when they heard these two childish cries.
Prime Minister Wei was the first to react, and he shouted excitedly, "Your Majesty! Your child is born! The child can cry! Although the cry is a little weak, it is a good thing that he can cry, which means they are safe!"
Xie Junlin's heart was pounding as he listened to the baby crying.
After reacting, he suddenly walked quickly towards the door!
He put his finger on the tightly closed door and asked loudly and excitedly, "Divine Doctor Song! The baby is born. Is Concubine Zhao okay? Is she safe too?"
In the room, Song Suihuan looked down at the unconscious Shen Yuanwei.
Vital signs are stable.
Nothing happened for now.
While she was removing the placenta from Shen Yuanwei, she raised her voice and answered Xie Junlin:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao is fine for now, and the two children are safe too."
"But please don't come in for now. I still need to sew up Concubine Zhao's wound to stop the bleeding. If you come in, it will stir up dust. If it infects Concubine Zhao's wound, her life will be in danger!"
Xie Junlin felt relieved when he heard that the mother and her two children were all fine.
The weak cry of the child in the room kept ringing in his ears, and his joy and excitement finally dared to spread to his brows.
His child was born safely.
He finally became a father!
He was so overjoyed that he wanted to push the door open and see his child immediately!
But no, Concubine Zhao is still stitching her wounds...
He stood at the door without moving, he put his ear to the door and listened to the child's crying at close range.
Great, that's his child.
His children are greeting him, their father.
He listened for a few seconds and saw that the crying was continuing. Thinking of the newborn baby being left aside with no one to comfort him or care for him, he felt distressed and anxious.
"Dr. Song, why is the child crying?"
Song Suihuan glanced at the crying child.
She also had to sew up Shen Yuanwei's wounds layer by layer, which was a slow process. If she left the child crying here without anyone paying attention, she was afraid that something might happen to the child.
She stood up and quickly carried the small basket to the door with the two babies. She opened the door a crack, stuffed the small basket to Xie Junlin, then closed the door again and ran straight to the bed.
“…”
Xie Junlin was caught off guard as the door suddenly opened, and a basket was suddenly stuffed into his hand. Before he could react, the door slammed shut in front of him.
He held the basket as if it were a treasure, and as he listened to the child's crying, he slowly looked down.
The two premature babies were very small, with small hands and feet, and even small heads.
They lay on their backs with their hands clenched and their feet curled up.
Xie Junlin's gaze was fixed between the two children's legs.
The one on the left is a boy...
The one on the right...
It’s actually a boy!
Xie Junlin stared at the two children closely, fearing that he had seen it wrong. He couldn't believe that he was so lucky to have two sons at once!
He looked carefully twice and confirmed that these were indeed his two sons. He couldn't help laughing out loud!
He couldn't contain his excitement at all, and turned around and laughed as he told the ministers:
"I have a little prince!"
"I now have two little princes who can inherit the throne!"
"No matter how bad these two kids are, one of them will always be able to succeed. One of them will always be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of carrying on the legacy of our ancestors, don't you think?"
The ministers all looked at the basket raised by the emperor.
The characteristics of the two children in the basket are so obvious, they are princes, they cannot be fake.
They couldn't help but be overjoyed.
They have been worried for these years because the emperor has no children. Now, the emperor has two sons, and the country is stable!
They kowtowed in congratulations excitedly.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Congratulations to the Emperor on the birth of his son. Congratulations to the Emperor on having a successor!"
Xie Junlin laughed loudly. He happily put the basket on the table and carefully picked up the child to coax him.
He couldn't bear to see this child cry, and he also couldn't bear to see that child cry, so he hugged one and quickly put the other down to comfort the other. In the end, he failed to comfort either child, and the children cried even louder.
Chen Hai was calmer than his father, and quickly called in the wet nurse who was waiting outside the hall.
As soon as the two crying children fell into the sweet and soft arms of the nanny, the nanny held them skillfully and coaxed them, and the children's crying gradually stopped.
Xie Junlin breathed a sigh of relief.
He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the child's tears, as carefully as if he was touching some precious porcelain, for fear of hurting his son.
The ministers watched in amazement.
The emperor's kindness is even more foolish than when they were fathers. How can he be like a majestic emperor?
Knowing that the emperor was happy at the moment, the ministers rushed to praise him with their eyes closed.
"Your Majesty, your two little princes are so handsome, fair and tender, with beautiful features. It is so rare to see such fair and beautiful children among newborns!"
"Yes, yes, he is worthy of being the emperor's son. He is completely different from the one in my family! When my child was born, his face was red, like a monkey's butt, and his little face was wrinkled. It was really ugly!"
"The two little princes are really great. They know their father is handsome, so their eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth are all like their father. Look, they look exactly like the emperor, they are just like they were carved from the same mold!"
“…”
