Chapter 366: Awkward! Forgetting about the babies, the emperor wanted to see his granddaughter and had no time for the morning court
Concubine Xu originally wanted to say a few proud words, but Tao Liangyuan held her hand, so she was forced to leave.
Concubine Xue looked at Concubine Xu's smug face and wanted to slap her twice. What's so great about a mother-in-law? She didn't come out of your belly.
After everyone left, the Hehuan Hall also became quiet.
Chunxi was busy stewing soup, afraid that Shen Chuwei would wake up and be hungry.
Indoor
Xiao Jinyan sat on the bed, looking down at the person who had fallen into a coma. Although he did not see it with his own eyes, he heard it with his own ears.
That heart-wrenching cry is still echoing in my ears.
Xiao Jinyan took a towel dipped in hot water and wiped the fresh sweat from her forehead.
After wiping it clean, he took the headscarf that Chunxi had prepared in advance and tied it around her forehead.
Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Xiao Jinyan stood up and walked to the crib.
The small bed was prepared several months ago and is made of the finest huanghuali wood.
The two little guys were lying side by side in the small bed, sleeping soundly.
It’s a bit hard to believe that before the break, the two little guys were still in Xiaojiu’s belly, and now they are right in front of me.
The loud cries of the two students let everyone know of their arrival.
Xiao Jinyan looked at them for a long time, but couldn't tell which one was the brother and which one was the sister, so he picked one at random and picked her up carefully.
Looking at the little one in her arms, she said, "It's you who have tormented your mother and caused her pain for a long time."
The little guy was sleeping soundly, how could he understand what Xiao Jinyan said?
Xiao Jinyan held the baby for a while and then put him back.
That night, Xiao Jinyan didn't dare to close his eyes, for fear that Xiaojiu would wake up and he wouldn't be able to call anyone.
At five o'clock in the morning, Shen Chuwei, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by his empty stomach.
She opened her heavy eyelids and saw Xiao Jinyan sitting on the bed, "Jinyan."
As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice became hoarse.
Seeing that she had woken up, Xiao Jinyan stood up and poured her a cup of warm water, "Drink some water first."
Shen Chuwei looked at Xiao Jinyan aggrievedly, "You just gave me water? No meat at all?"
Seeing that she couldn't forget to eat at this moment, Xiao Jinyan helplessly helped her up and leaned her into his arms, saying softly: "Drink some water first, then eat."
After hearing this, Shen Chuwei drank the water obediently.
After drinking the water, Xiao Jinyan asked Chunxi to bring the stewed ginseng and black chicken soup.
Xiao Jinyan took a few soft pillows and placed them behind Shen Chuwei. She had just given birth and was at her weakest at this moment.
I saw her frowning brows, perhaps she was in a lot of pain.
Xiao Jinyan guessed where the pain was, but he was helpless and could not replace it.
"Xiaojiu, I'll feed you."
Shen Chuwei was too weak and too lazy to move at the moment, so of course she was happy to be served.
Xiao Jinyan held the bowl in one hand and a white porcelain spoon in the other, feeding Xiaojiu mouthful by mouthful.
Shen Chuwei kept her eyes on the big chicken leg and drank most of the soup, but Xiao Jinyan refused to feed her the chicken leg.
Seeing that the bowl of soup was almost empty, Xiao Jinyan still didn't give her the chicken leg.
Finally, she couldn't help but picked up the chicken leg and took a bite.
Xiao Jinyan paused, looking at her gnawing on the chicken leg. She couldn’t even wait for a short while?
After Shen Chuwei finished eating the chicken leg, Xiao Jinyan took a handkerchief, dipped it in warm water, wiped her mouth, and washed her hands.
"Tell me if you feel uncomfortable and I'll ask Doctor Yu to come and take a look at you."
Shen Chuwei yawned and wanted to go to sleep after eating and drinking enough.
"I'm sleepy."
"Then go to sleep." Xiao Jinyan laid her down and covered her with a blanket.
Shen Chuwei closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep, but she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Jinyan.
Xiao Jinyan was startled. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Where's the baby?" Forgive her for only remembering the baby now~
Xiao Jinyan said: "The baby is sleeping and is very well behaved."
Shen Chuwei asked again with some concern: "Is it a boy or a girl? Are they both okay?"
Xiao Jinyan said gently: "It's a dragon and phoenix fetus, everything is fine."
When Shen Chuwei heard about the dragon-phoenix fetus, it was as if she had won the first prize and she was extremely excited.
"Jinyan, I want to see it."
"Okay." Xiao Jinyan picked up one of them and took a careful look. It was his daughter.
"This is my daughter."
A newborn baby's facial features have not yet fully developed.
Shen Chuwei looked left and right, but couldn't figure out who he looked like.
"Let me see my son."
Afterwards, Xiao Jinyan held his son in his arms and showed him to her.
Shen Chuwei still looked left and right, but still couldn't figure out who he looked like. She looked up at Xiao Jinyan's handsome face and said, "I don't have high requirements. Just look like your father."
Xiao Jinyan smiled and said, "I've been tired tonight, let's take a rest first."
After Shen Chuwei finished looking after the baby, she closed her eyes and went to sleep with peace of mind.
Fengyi Palace
The emperor tossed and turned and couldn't sleep because he hadn't seen his grandchildren.
He turned around, hugged the empress's waist, and couldn't help asking, "Ling'er, are the grandchildren fun?"
The queen, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up and was furious. "It's so cute."
The emperor also thought that his grandson and granddaughter would be very cute. He couldn't help but ask again: "Ling'er, who does your granddaughter look like?"
There is no need to guess who the grandson is, he definitely looks like the prince.
The prince had seen it when he was a child, so he was not curious.
The queen closed her eyes and replied randomly, "Looks like Shen Liangdi."
She snorted in her heart. She was so young, how could you tell who she looked like?
The emperor imagined his granddaughter based on Shen Liangdi's own imagination and thought she must be very cute, maybe even cuter than Yu'er when she was a child.
"Ling'er, you're talking about granddaughter..."
The extremely sleepy empress finally couldn't help herself and said, "Your Majesty, I am so sleepy. Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"
The emperor patted the queen's shoulder soothingly, "Let's talk about it tomorrow, let's talk about it tomorrow."
The next morning, Shen Chuwei was awakened by the loud voices of the two babies.
Shen Chu was half asleep and heard the crying. He had no choice but to open his eyes and saw Xiao Jinyan and Chunxi each holding a child and coaxing them.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Jinyan came to Shen Chuwei with her daughter in her arms, and said while coaxing her daughter, "I don't know why, my daughter is crying so fiercely."
Shen Chuwei looked at her daughter crying and said, "My daughter is hungry, right?"
Xiao Jinyan suddenly realized, "Yes, find a wet nurse."
The wet nurses were chosen in advance. They were all young women, and were strictly selected in all aspects of their physical condition.
When she learned that her daughter and son were hungry, she asked the wet nurse to come and take the child to feed him.
The feeding place is in the side hall, separated by a wall.
The children's crying gradually stopped, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
Shen Chuwei had breakfast and recovered a lot of strength after sleeping for such a long time.
Even though Shen Chuwei knew medical skills, Xiao Jinyan still called Doctor Wen Yu to take her pulse and regulate her body.
When women are pregnant or giving birth, their Qi and blood become deficient and need to be replenished to restore their vitality.
When Xu Cefei and Tao Liangyuan arrived, the two little guys had already eaten and drunk their fill and were asleep.
"Shen Liang Di, I was almost scared to death yesterday." Concubine Xu took Shen Chuwei's hand and whispered in her ear: "Giving birth is too scary. I will never give birth to a child again."
When Shen Chuwei thought of the scene of giving birth last night, she originally wanted to give herself an epidural, but the contractions made her unable to do it, and no one could help her.
The painful process is straightforward.
"It's scary, but you'll get through it."
"That's too hard to bear. I can't bear it. The worst that can happen is that I won't get married." Concubine Xu had already made up her mind. She would go home after staying in the East Palace for a while. She didn't sleep with the emperor anyway.
As for getting married and having children, she was terribly scared when she thought of Shen Chuwei's heart-wrenching cry.
Tao Liangyuan said: "Don't talk about it, I'm scared too."
"I'll go see the babies." Xu Cefei stood up and walked to the crib, looking down at the little guys in the bed.
Tao Liangyuan also came over, looked at the two babies, and said with a smile, "Yesterday we were wondering why they hadn't started yet, and they were born overnight."
Concubine Xu put the handkerchief into her sleeve pocket, reached out and picked one up, holding it very carefully.
"They are too small to play with."
When Tao Liangyuan saw Concubine Xu holding one child, she felt itchy and picked up the other one, holding it with the same care.
At this time, the shrill voice of Eunuch Ren came from outside the door, "The Queen has arrived."
When Xu and Tao heard that the Empress was coming, they quickly put the baby back into the crib and went forward to greet her.
"May the Empress be blessed with good health and happiness."
"Get up." The queen first came to the bedside, and seeing Shen Chuwei awake, she asked gently: "How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Shen Chuwei told the truth: "I have no strength at all. It still hurts now."
"Just lie down and don't sit. It's bad for your waist." The queen said as she went to help her.
Shen Chuwei also felt a little tired from sitting, so she lay down with the help of the Queen.
After giving a few instructions, the Queen went to see her precious grandchildren.
Xu and Tao stood by and watched.
One of the two babies who were originally sleeping suddenly opened her eyes, as if she was curious about why the adults were staring at her.
To express her curiosity, she opened her mouth and cried out "wow".
When the queen heard the baby crying, she picked up her granddaughter with heartache and asked while coaxing her: "Baby, what's wrong? Are you hungry?"
Chunxi reminded: "Empress, the nurse has just fed the baby."
The queen felt heartbroken when she saw the little boy crying so sadly, "Why is the baby crying?"
At this time, the Golden Palace
At this time, the emperor wanted to see his grandchildren, but the ministers in front of him kept talking to him endlessly.
He didn't even have a chance to interrupt.
Normally when we ask them to think of solutions, they are completely clueless.
Today, the censors started arguing over just a small matter.
The emperor stared at the two censors in front of him, waiting for them to catch their breath before interrupting them and saying, "Okay, let's discuss this later."
"Your Majesty, we can't delay any longer. We must punish Bu Leng severely."
"Your Majesty, I think this matter is not worth starting a war."
The censor did not say a word before a new round of debate began.
The emperor felt a headache after hearing this. He angrily slammed the dragon table and said, "You guys, after you have discussed it, come back to me. I am dismissed!"
After saying this, he got up and left without giving them a chance to speak.
