Xiao Jinyan originally wanted to bring up this matter at the full moon banquet, but he was afraid of causing more complications, so he brought it up now.
The emperor was angry, mad at the prince for delaying his time from seeing his grandchildren.
Speaking of appointing a Crown Princess, this was the first time that the Crown Prince took the initiative to propose appointing a Crown Princess.
The emperor could guess who the Crown Princess was even if the Crown Prince didn't say it.
"Prince, do you know what the title of Crown Princess means? Without a powerful maternal family and a noble status, how can Shen Liang Di be appointed as the Crown Princess?"
"Father, Shen Liang Di gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. This is a good omen for Da Xia. This is not something that others can do. Without a strong maternal clan, there is no need to worry about being restrained."
When the mother clan is too powerful, it can sometimes be a hidden danger.
At that time, General Chang came from a family of military generals. Three generations of his family were General Changs, and he was nicknamed the Ever-Victorious General.
When the emperor first ascended the throne, the eldest daughters of the Chang and Xu families became the empress and Concubine Xu respectively.
Concubine Xu was the most favored concubine in the harem at that time and her honor and favor never diminished.
Until ten years ago, Concubine Xu died of illness.
The reason why Concubine Xu was so favored was to balance the Chang and Xu families.
Another reason is that the queen is already noble. If she becomes the most favored in the harem, all the eyes of the harem will be on the queen.
Many princes died young.
Concubine Xu was actually just a shield.
Xiao Jinyan learned all these by accident, and it also solved the mystery of why the emperor loved the queen so deeply but doted on others.
Xiao Jinyan raised his eyes to look at the emperor, his eyes were more determined than ever before: "Father, I want to make Shen Liangdi the Crown Princess!"
The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "The matter of appointing a crown princess will be discussed at another day."
The tone that brooked no rejection, along with the air around them, became thinner. It was the majesty of a king, which made people feel fearful.
"Your son obeys your command." Xiao Jinyan did not use a tough tone, because that would only backfire. He had his own plans.
The emperor had originally planned to visit his grandchildren with the crown prince, but then Eunuch Li came to report, "The Left Censor-in-Chief of the Supervisory Office wants to see you."
The emperor now gets a headache whenever he hears the censors asking for a meeting.
* Shen Chuwei had been extremely greedy these past two days. She lay in front of the crib and when she saw her daughter was awake, she took out the rattle that Xiao Jinyu had given her.
Newborn babies are not fully developed in all aspects, and Shen Chuwei, as a doctor, knows this.
She just shook the rattle gently, watching her daughter pouting, and suddenly she burst into tears.
It scared her.
"Baby, why are you crying? This is a rattle your uncle gave you. You can play with it when you grow up."
The baby didn't understand what Shen Chuwei was saying. She only knew that she was hungry, but Shen Chuwei wouldn't give her anything to eat.
After one baby started crying, the other one who was sleeping soundly suddenly started crying too.
Shen Chuwei had never taken care of a child before and was only a teenager. When she saw the two babies crying as soon as they opened their mouths, she was at a loss for a moment.
"Good boy, don't cry."
"Do you miss your father? Your father is busy. He will be back in time for dinner."
Chunxi ran in upon hearing the noise, "My lady, what's wrong?"
Shen Chuwei saw Chunxi as if she had seen a savior, "I don't know either, the babies suddenly started crying, come and see what's going on."
Chunxi ran over in confusion and looked down at the babies who were crying so loudly.
"My lady, the babies may be hungry. I will ask the nurses to come over."
Chunxi was efficient in her work and within a short while, the two wet nurses carried the babies to the next room.
Chunxi began to clean the house and then took the dirty clothes to wash.
At this time, Xiao Jinyu sneaked in with a bag.
Xiao Jinyu had done the job of secretly delivering food to Shen Chuwei countless times and was already very familiar with it.
Shen Chuwei saw Xiao Jinyu subconsciously looking at his hand, and when she saw that he was bringing something, she happily went to meet him.
"King Yu, what delicious food did you bring?"
"Sister-in-law, I brought you some braised pork elbow from Zhenbaozhai." Xiao Jinyu opened the food box, took out the braised pork elbow and placed it on the table.
The soups and drinks I had these few days were very light.
When I saw the braised pork elbow, my mouth almost watered.
Shen Chuwei couldn't wait to pick up the pork elbow and took a bite, not forgetting to ask: "No one saw it?"
"No, sister-in-law, eat with confidence." Xiao Jinyu looked at Shen Chuwei's natural eating manner, which was rare in the palace.
After hearing this, Shen Chuwei ate with confidence.
Xiao Jinyu came to the crib, but didn't see her nephew and niece. She turned to look at Shen Chuwei, "Where's the baby?"
Shen Chuwei puffed up his cheeks and said vaguely: "The nurse took her away."
"Then I came at the wrong time. I also bought them some gadgets." Xiao Jinyu took out two small fur balls from his arms. The fur balls were made of fox fur. They felt smooth and could also warm the hands.
There is also a golden bell hanging on the ball of fur.
The bell is made of real gold, and it looks very beautiful when hung together with the snow-white ball of fur.
Shen Chuwei saw the little ball of fur in Xiao Jinyu's hand and said, "The babies are too small to play with them now."
"That's right, let's wait until they grow up before playing." Xiao Jinyu looked at the bell in his hand and suddenly asked, "Sister-in-law, have you picked names for the babies?"
"Not yet." Shen Chuwei also felt that the baby should be given a name, otherwise it would be confusing for the babies to just call him baby.
"Sister-in-law, why is your prenatal education book all about children?" Xiao Jinyu had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
Shen Chuwei suppressed his laughter and asked, "Did you see it?"
Xiao Jinyu nodded. Not only did he read it, he actually finished the entire book, mainly out of curiosity.
Now that Xiao Jinyu has finished reading it, she is not shocked. She just thinks that they are indeed brothers, both so curious and persistent.
"Prenatal education books are meant for children, but it doesn't matter. You'll have to read them sooner or later. Once you get married, you won't have to read them anymore."
Xiao Jinyu nodded and agreed with Shen Chuwei's words. A lot of the knowledge in it was unknown to him and it felt very magical.
When reading the prenatal education book, Xiao Jinyu thought of Miss Han.
Sometimes he would stare at Miss Han’s belly, and when Miss Han found out, he felt extremely embarrassed.
After eating, Shen Chuwei touched her stomach and showed a satisfied expression.
During the confinement period, you should eat eight meals a day, and most of these meals are soup.
Chunxi brought the black chicken soup with angelica and astragalus, "My lady, are you hungry? This black chicken soup with angelica and astragalus is good for replenishing qi and blood."
Shen Chuwei's stomach was full at the moment, so how could she drink the soup? "I'm not hungry now."
Chunxi looked puzzled: "But the young lady hasn't eaten for two hours. Wouldn't she be hungry at this time normally?"
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
Shen Chuwei shook his head guiltily.
Not only was she not hungry, but her stomach felt full.
As if Xiao Jinyu was afraid that she wouldn't be full, he bought three pork elbows in sauce, and she ate them all.
When Chunxi was wondering, Xiao Jinyan strode in, saw the untouched Angelica and Astragalus Black Chicken Soup, raised his eyes to look at Xiaojiu, "What's wrong?"
Shen Chuwei said guiltily: "I am not hungry."
Chunxi said with a worried look on her face: "My lady hasn't eaten for two hours. I'm worried that my lady has indigestion."
Shen Chuwei: “…” How could you have indigestion if you drink soup every day?
Xiao Jinyan ordered: "Let Imperial Doctor Wen come over to take a look."
Chunxi took the order and trotted out.
Imperial Physician Wen rushed over and took Shen Chuwei's pulse.
Shen Chuwei looked at the two babies in the crib guiltily.
After the imperial physician finished his examination, Xiao Jinyan couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?"
"Your Highness, Concubine Shen is in good health and has no symptoms such as indigestion. She just gave birth and her blood and energy need to be replenished slowly." said Imperial Physician Wen.
Xiao Jinyan looked at Shen Chuwei and asked again: "Then why does she have no appetite?"
Shen Chuwei lowered his head guiltily.
Doctor Wen paused and said, "Maybe it's because it doesn't suit your appetite."
After Imperial Physician Wen left, Xiao Jinyan said, "I will feed you."
Shen Chuwei saw Xiao Jinyan about to serve the Angelica, Astragalus and Black Chicken Soup that she had made that night and was about to surround her.
There's really no place for her stomach.
She grabbed Xiao Jinyan's hand and said in a very gentle voice: "Your Highness, I have given the baby a nickname."
Xiao Jinyan raised his head and looked at Shen Chuwei as he wished, temporarily forgetting his plan to feed her soup.
"Really? What's your name?"
Shen Chuwei said the nicknames she had just thought of, "My brother's name is Taotao, and my sister's name is Susu."
Xiao Jinyan listened to these two strange nicknames and asked in confusion: "Why do you choose such names?"
Shen Chuwei began to make up a story: "Your Highness, the nickname is mainly for being easy on the tongue and nice to hear. Listen, isn't Taosu delicious? Taotao means a boy is a little naughty, isn't it very appropriate? When Susu heard it, she knew that our daughter was soft and sweet, don't you think?"
Xiao Jinyan stared at Shen Chuwei in silence for a long time, silently reciting "Tao Su, Tao Tao, Su Su" in his heart. After listening to Xiao Jiu's explanation, he thought it was good.
He looked down at the people in the crib and said, "Babies, you now have names. Taotao and Susu, these are the names your mother gave you."
As Shen Chuwei listened, she suddenly wanted to eat peach pastry. She hadn't eaten it for a long time and was a little craving for it.
There are still more than 20 days left in the confinement period, it's so hard!!! Today, the Imperial Craftsman sent the dragon and phoenix longevity lock that he had spent a lot of time and effort on to Fengyi Palace for the Empress to review.
The Queen looked at the Dragon and Phoenix Locket of Longevity and was secretly proud of her own foresight.
The dragon and phoenix longevity lock is just right for each grandson and granddaughter, one.
After the queen had packed everything, she took the dragon and phoenix longevity lock and couldn't wait to give it to her babies.
As soon as I went out, I saw the Dog Emperor coming.
The queen secretly thought it was bad luck that it delayed her from visiting her grandchildren.
"Your Majesty, why are you here at this time?"
The emperor was not joking: "I just finished my work and wanted to go see my grandchildren with the queen. I haven't even seen them once."
The Queen didn't want the dog emperor to go, but it was useless to stop him.
"Then I will go with the Emperor to have a look."
"Let's go," the emperor urged impatiently.
The emperor and empress's guard of honor arrived at the East Palace in a grand procession.
When Xiao Jinyan learned that the emperor and empress had arrived, he went out to greet them.
"Father, Emperor, Mother."
For the first time, the emperor felt that etiquette and rules were a waste of time and prevented him from seeing his grandchildren.
"Go in first."
