Chapter 190 Twins
The second prince said nothing.
He pursed his lips and glanced secretly at Queen Wei.
Queen Wei patted his little hands and said softly, "Don't be afraid, just say whatever you want, your mother won't be angry. It's normal for a baby to miss his mother, right?"
The second prince then placed his little head against his father's chest and whispered softly.
"Today, my brother and I overheard father telling us that mother gave birth to a little brother and a little sister..."
"My brother ran away in anger. He said that mother didn't want us in the first place, and she would not want us even more now that she had brothers and sisters..."
"I saw my brother hiding and crying so miserably, so I wanted to find my mother and ask her why she didn't want me and my brother."
When talking about the fact that their mother didn't want them, the little guy felt so aggrieved that he kept crying.
Although they have an emperor father, an empress mother, and an imperial grandmother, they also want their biological mother to like them. They don't want to be children abandoned by their mother.
Only then did Xie Junlin realize that the two little brats did not take a nap peacefully in the side hall today, but actually sneaked to his door to eavesdrop.
He was afraid that the two children would hear him, so he lowered his voice deliberately. Who knew that the two children were so sneaky...
He wiped his youngest son's tears with a distressed look on his face and asked, "You said that your brother hid and cried. Where was he crying, huh?"
The second prince pointed outside and said, "In the Queen Mother's study, there is a portrait of her hanging. My brother stared at the painting and cried secretly."
Xie Junlin looked at the queen, and the queen immediately got up to find her eldest son.
After a while, she returned to the room carrying a sleeping child.
The child curled up into a ball, his face covered with dirty tear marks and his eyelids were a little swollen. He must have fallen asleep because he was tired of crying.
Queen Xie bent down and carefully placed the eldest prince on the bed. As soon as she put him there, the second prince broke free from Xie Junlin's arms. He lay down beside his brother, holding his little hand and lying together.
"elder brother……"
He called out softly, leaned his little head against his brother, closed his eyes and went to sleep obediently.
Before, he was crying and shouting in pain in his father's arms, but now holding his brother's hand, he stopped crying and shouting, for fear that any noise would wake up his brother.
Xie Junlin found it funny.
Yuan'er is his brother's follower. He follows his brother wherever he goes and does whatever he does. He does whatever his brother tells him to do without getting tired. He is just like his brother's little servant...
Xie Junlin shook his head and wiped the tears from his eldest son's face with a handkerchief.
Every time he saw his eldest son's face, he felt happy.
This face looks very much like him.
In fact, after the two children were born, there were gossips among the people. Many people acknowledged his son's status as a prince on the surface, but secretly talked about him behind his back.
Everyone said that he had been unable to have a child for more than ten years, but he had one as soon as he married someone else, so the child must be someone else's...
It was not until the eldest son Xie Chengyun was two years old and his facial features gradually grew and he could vaguely look a bit like him that the gossip slowly disappeared.
Yun'er is now four and a half years old, and his facial features are becoming more and more like him.
He proudly took Yun'er and Yuan'er to the court twice, and from then on no one said that the two children were not his own flesh and blood.
Yun'er's face is the best evidence.
Therefore, he has a special preference for his eldest son.
Because his eldest son cleared his name, allowing him to stand up straight and hold his head high.
Of course, he also likes his youngest son very much.
Although the younger son looks more delicate and more like Shen Yuanwei than him, his younger son and older son are twins. The older son is his own flesh and blood, so the younger son must be too.
They are all his biological sons, and he loves them all.
Xie Junlin gently touched his eldest son's face, then touched his youngest son's chubby face.
Tsk.
This guy not only looks like Shen Yuanwei, but also has a similar personality.
People who act lawless and tease cats and dogs all day long can sometimes make people angry to death, but when they behave themselves, they become particularly attractive.
He's just like his mother, making people love and hate him.
Xie Junlin stood up and went to the outer hall with Queen Wei.
Queen Wei poured Xie Junlin a cup of tea and asked him, "Did Yuan Wei give birth?"
Xie Junlin looked unhappy. "They are born, twins, a boy and a girl. The older one is a boy and the younger one is a girl. I heard that the older one weighed 15.40 catties and the younger one weighed 15.20 catties. They are much better raised than my two sons."
When Queen Wei heard that Shen Yuanwei had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
Having both a son and a daughter is such an enviable blessing!
She said, "Sister Yuan Wei gave birth to twins in her first life, and then gave birth to twins again in her second life. She gave birth to four children in two lives. I couldn't even dream of such a good thing!"
Xie Junlin snorted coldly.
When Queen Wei saw that he looked unhappy, she immediately stopped smiling.
She originally wanted to ask Xiao Lingzhao if he was very happy, but now she didn't dare to ask.
Xie Junlin looked at her hesitant look and sneered.
"I know what you want to ask. Xiao Lingzhao was very happy. He was so happy that he bought several thousand fat and strong sheep with his own money so that all the soldiers could enjoy themselves."
"I heard that on that night, the soldiers roasted mutton around the campfire, drank and danced, and were as happy as if it were Chinese New Year."
"I also heard that the people over there are also very happy."
"They are protected by the Xiao family army and love Xiao Lingzhao, the god of war, very much. Xiao Lingzhao has never married or had children, and they were all worried about it. Now that they see Xiao Lingzhao finally has two children, they are happier than when they had their own children. Many merchants pooled money together to hold a banquet, so that the people of the city can join in the celebration to congratulate General Xiao and his wife for having a successor."
Queen Wei smiled when she heard this.
How popular must he be that people would pay out of their own pockets to celebrate?
No wonder Sister Yuan Wei would rather not be a concubine and follow Xiao Lingzhao. Xiao Lingzhao is worth it.
Queen Wei asked, "Have the old general and his wife heard the news? Are they also overjoyed?"
Xie Junlin hummed, "Very happy. The two old men opened the ancestral hall overnight to thank their ancestors for their blessings. I heard that everyone in the general's mansion was beaming with joy. The two old men were even thinking about going to the border to see their grandchildren."
Queen Wei was a little worried. "He's already in his sixties, how can he withstand such a bumpy ride? The old general's health has been getting worse this year. If he rushes to the border, I'm really worried that he will die on the way..."
She didn't say anything unlucky.
She held Xie Junlin's hand and suggested, "Your Majesty, it's almost the end of the year, why don't you issue an order to summon General Xiao and Yuan Wei back to the capital? This will allow the two elders to spend a reunion with their son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren and granddaughters, and also allow our Yun'er and Yuan'er to meet their biological mother—"
She looked across the room and sighed softly.
"The children have never seen their mother even once. When they miss their mother, they can only quietly run to the study to look at her portrait. Today, one of them fainted from crying and the other fell off the rockery. They are so pitiful."
