Chapter 369: Xiao Susu grabbed the emperor's finger, and the emperor happily gave her a title (Additional update)

Before entering the bedroom, the emperor and empress took off their fox fur coats with the help of servants and then entered the bedroom.

There was plenty of red charcoal in the bedroom, and it felt a lot warmer as soon as I entered.

After a few days of recuperation, Shen Chuwei was able to get out of bed and perform the ceremony without any problem.

She stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, may you be blessed with good health and longevity."

The queen took a few steps forward and helped Shen Chuwei up. "You are still in confinement after childbirth, so there is no need for formalities. Go to bed and rest."

"Thank you, Her Majesty." At the urging of the Queen, Shen Chuwei returned to bed.

After the emperor came in, he glanced around the room and saw the crib. He walked over and found it was empty. He frowned.

"What about the grandchildren? Where are they?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "Replying to Father, the nurse has taken the baby to the side hall to feed him."

The emperor came specially to see his grandchildren, but he came at the wrong time, and the two little ones were drinking milk in a side hall.

Now all we can do is wait.

The queen came to the bed with an exquisite gift box and sat down. As she opened the box, she said, "Shen Liang Di, I ordered two longevity locks for the babies from the Yuzaosi. Take a look at them."

Shen Chuwei looked at the gift box in the queen's hand. It was dark red in color, with intricate carvings on it. The gift box alone was very luxurious.

She picked up a longevity lock out of curiosity. The jewelry made by ancient master craftsmen was no worse than modern craftsmanship.

The gold lock is small and exquisitely crafted.

The thing in her hand was just carved with a dragon pattern.

The other one was carved with a phoenix pattern, and the two together made a perfect pair.

The Queen stared at the Dragon and Phoenix Longevity Lock in Shen Chuwei's hand and said, "At first I didn't think it was a dragon and phoenix fetus. Thinking that the dragon and phoenix would bring good luck, I asked the Yuzaosi to customize a Dragon and Phoenix Longevity Lock."

"That shows that Her Majesty is far-sighted. The two longevity locks are very beautiful." Shen Chuwei praised without hesitation.

Every time the Queen delivered something on time, as long as Shen Chuwei approved, she felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Because she felt that as long as Shen Chuwei liked it, the babies would definitely like it too.

The emperor sat on the couch, drinking the new tea brought by Chunxi and listening to the empress and Shen Liangdi chatting, when he discovered a problem.

The Queen not only knew that Shen Liangdi was pregnant, but also knew that she was pregnant with twins.

Prince Yu'er probably knew this a long time ago.

Only he, the emperor, didn't know.

It would be a lie to say I'm not angry.

It would be fine if others kept it a secret from him, but the queen kept it a secret from him, and that was what made him depressed.

They are husband and wife!

The more the emperor thought about it, the more depressed he felt, and the empress became less and less concerned about him.

He sighed again in his heart.

Xiao Jinyan stood aside and listened to the emperor's inner thoughts.

Who could have thought that the ruler of a country, who is so high and mighty, would care so much about his wife and do so much to protect her.

This is also why there has never been a lack of favored concubines in the harem. After Concubine Ning passed away, there was Concubine He, and now she is Concubine He.

Her promotion from a talented woman to a concubine in such a short period of time was enough to make the women in the harem jealous.

As expected, she soon became a concubine.

Xiao Jinyan looked at his mother. His father had never told her what he was thinking, so naturally he would not get a response from her.

In the eyes of my mother, my father was just a man obsessed with beauty, who embraced her left and right, and he married her only to consolidate his position as the crown prince.

Xiao Jinyan looked at Xiaojiu again. He would not be like his father. He would not let Xiaojiu misunderstand, nor would he let Xiaojiu think that she was just one of his many women.

At this time, the wet nurse came back holding Taotao Susu. Seeing that the Emperor, Empress and Queen were all there, the wet nurse hurried forward to pay her respects.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, may you live in peace and happiness."

The emperor was drinking tea in a depressed mood when he saw the nurse coming with her grandson and granddaughter. He immediately put down the teacup in his hand and ordered, "Bring the grandson and granddaughter here for me to see."

The wet nurse dared not neglect the request of the emperor's grandson and daughter, and hurriedly carried Susu to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the royal granddaughter is awake."

Because it was winter, Susu was wrapped in a small quilt, tightly.

The emperor looked at the pink and tender little face, which was the size of his palm, and the pair of dark eyes were staring at him without blinking.

"Give me a hug."

"Yes." The wet nurse handed Susu to the emperor.

The emperor couldn't wait to hold his granddaughter in his arms. It had been a long time since he held such a young baby in his arms, so he held the baby very carefully.

Susu kept watching with her eyes closed, and her chubby little hands somehow struggled out from under the quilt and waved around wildly.

The emperor had many princes, but since he had no daughter, the princess was his first daughter.

Seeing his granddaughter's hand, the emperor stretched out his fingers, which were grabbed by her.

Don’t underestimate Susu’s small size. Once she gets hold of something, she will never let go.

The emperor laughed happily, "Queen, look, my granddaughter is holding my finger."

The Queen also came over at this time and saw her granddaughter holding the Emperor's hand and she also found it amusing.

Although the emperor was angry, anyone who saw the scene would burst into laughter.

The emperor said happily: "Empress, look, my granddaughter smiled at me."

I saw Susu's eyes curved, her mouth wide open, and her smile was particularly sweet.

Before, the Queen said that her granddaughter could laugh, but he didn't believe it.

Now I see that his granddaughter’s smile is so sweet, and she really looks like a lotus cake.

Xiao Jinyan couldn't help but walk over. Seeing his daughter smiling so sweetly, he thought of Xiaojiu, who was also a person who loved to laugh.

Susu looks very much like Xiaojiu.

The Queen raised her head and looked at the Prince, "Prince, have the babies been named yet?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "After reporting back to my mother, Shen Liangdi gave the babies nicknames. The older brother is called Taotao and the younger sister is called Susu."

"Tao Tao? Su Su?" The queen immediately thought of Tao Su. "Tao Su, isn't that something to eat?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "Yes, mother."

The emperor looked at his granddaughter's chubby little hand holding his hand and grinning, and he laughed too.

"Susu, it sounds nice."

The queen silently said Susu in her heart, "I also think it sounds nice, but Taotao, I also think it sounds like a girl's name."

Xiao Jinyan explained: "Mother, Taotao can be regarded as the naughty Tao, which is very suitable for a boy baby."

"This explanation is not bad." The queen brought Taotao over. Unlike Susu, Taotao was sleeping soundly.

"Taotao is sleeping so soundly."

The emperor stared at Susu and was reluctant to look away. He took the time to look at Taotao, and just as the queen said, she was sleeping soundly.

The emperor stared at Susu for a while, smiling: "Susu didn't sleep, it must be because she knew I was coming to see her. Look at her eyes, it seems like they can speak. If they could speak, she would definitely call me Grandpa."

The queen couldn't help but roll her eyes. The dog emperor only knew how to flatter himself. What did such a young child know?

The emperor called out, "Susu."

Shen Chuwei sat at the head of the bed, looking at the Emperor and Empress holding the two children. It felt like an ordinary grandpa and grandmother doting on their grandchildren.

She yawned and wanted to sleep, but the emperor and empress were still there, so she didn't dare to sleep.

The emperor held Susu in his arms and was reluctant to let go. Even when the little guy fell asleep, his little hand was still holding onto the emperor's fingers.

Because of this, the emperor liked Susu more and more, and he wanted to take her to his study so that he could see her all the time.

Finally, it was the empress who reminded the emperor that it was time to leave, because she noticed that Shen Chuwei had been dozing off, with his eyes fighting each other.

The wet nurse was about to take Susu and put her back in the crib, but the emperor glared at her and she took a few steps back in fear.

The emperor personally carried Susu to the crib and placed Susu next to Taotao. The two babies looked very similar, worthy of being dragon and phoenix twins.

The emperor reluctantly followed the empress.

After leaving the Hehuan Palace, the emperor still had a smile on his face: "Empress, do Susu look a bit like me?"

The queen couldn't help rolling her eyes. Susu doesn't look like you. Look in the mirror. Susu is so cute. How could she look like you?

"Susu is very cute!" Dog Emperor, are you cute? How shameless!

The emperor added: "As the saying goes, granddaughters look like their grandfathers. This is absolutely true."

Queen: "..." When did this saying come about? Why haven't I heard of it?

The emperor didn't notice the disgust on the queen's face. He asked, "Queen, what title do you think we should give Susu?"

To be crowned as the granddaughter of the Emperor is already the highest honor, and to be given an additional title now can be said to be the first in history.

Although I dislike the dog emperor, I can still choose a good one for the title.

The queen thought for a while and said, "How about choosing Anle?"

"Anle, peace and happiness." The emperor thought for a while and said, "Not bad, let's choose Anle, and we will confer the title together at the full moon banquet."

"Shen Liang Di is really good at naming. Susu is such a nice name." The Queen thought of her grandson again. "Taotao is not bad either. Boys can be a little naughty."

The emperor nodded in agreement, and then he thought of something.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince wants to make Shen Liangdi the Crown Princess."

The Queen paused and thought that the Prince’s idea was understandable.

"Did the Emperor agree?"

The emperor said helplessly: "Is it so easy to appoint a crown princess? Shen Liangdi doesn't even have a backer. The crown princess is the future empress, so we can't be careless."

The Queen said, "I think it's good for Shen Liang Di to be the Crown Princess. Tao Tao Su Su can also legitimately be the eldest son or daughter. There is a huge difference between legitimate and illegitimate children."

The emperor sighed again after hearing this: "What the queen said makes sense. If Susu is a legitimate daughter, her status will be different. Let me think about it again."

As soon as the emperor and empress left, Shen Chuwei could no longer hold on and fell asleep.

Xiao Jinyan looked at his sons and daughters. Judging from his father's behavior just now, he liked Susu more than Taotao.

As soon as she was born, she was given the title of Crown Prince's Granddaughter.

If the son is poor and the mother is rich, it would be easier for Xiaojiu to become the Crown Princess.

In the dead of night

Shen Chuwei, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by a bloating pain.

She groaned uncomfortably.

Xiao Jinyan had been sleeping very lightly these days and woke up when he heard Xiaojiu humming.

With the light from the night pearl on the bedside table, I could see that Xiaojiu's brows were wrinkled, as if he was feeling uncomfortable.

"Xiaojiu, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Chuwei groaned uncomfortably: "It hurts here, it hurts so much."

Xiao Jinyan looked at the place where Xiaojiu pointed. He reached out and touched it, and found that there was a large wet spot on his clothes on his chest.
