Chu Yuan didn't dare look at Emperor Wei Xian's face or gaze until the next morning, shyly avoiding his eyes.
This made Emperor Xian of Wei extremely eager, but he could only endure it.
Mingyue came in with a maid to help the two of them wash up. Emperor Wei pinched Chu Yuan's cheek and strode out, saying, "Li Luhai, the weather is nice today, let's walk to court!"
Li Gonggong stood frozen in the corridor, his face filled with terror.
Holding a whisk and looking at the sky, all I see is a chilling wind and bitter rain; how could it not be good?
After Chu Yuan washed up and ate breakfast, she asked the wet nurse to bring all three children over.
The children were actually not far away next door. A large side hall was arranged into three parts, each separated by a semi-transparent screen, with each of the three children in their own place, just like when they were in their mother's womb.
Babies who are less than a month old love sleeping the most.
Even when the wet nurse brought them over, they didn't wake up. The second and third babies were still sucking their fingers, looking very happy.
The eldest brother has a smaller face and a more serious expression compared to the second and third brothers.
Even when asleep, his two downy eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
He's practically a carbon copy of Emperor Xian of Wei.
The second and third children resemble Chu Yuan more; they are fair-skinned and delicate. The second child is a bit thinner, while the third child, who was stuck at the end, is naturally chubby, with a profile resembling a small peach.
Chu Yuan hugged each child before asking Mingyue, "So, has the Emperor said that the children's names have been chosen yet?"
It's also her fault for being so irrational yesterday that she didn't think to ask about it at all.
Mingyue ran to the windowsill and took the papers that were pressing down on the beauty bottle. "Your Majesty, the Emperor has thought of many names and said that you can choose from them. You have suffered a lot this time, so the Emperor and the Empress Dowager have decided to let you choose the name you like."
This is considered a significant concession within the royal family.
Almost every prince in history was named by the emperor; even the empress did not have the right to name her sons, let alone the concubines.
Chu Yuan didn't really care about that; it didn't matter what she was called.
However, it would not go against Emperor Xian of Wei's good intentions.
But as soon as she took it, she saw countless "three"s lined up on the paper, and Chu Yuan suddenly felt her eyes were blurry...
This is terrible! This damned emperor is seriously ill!
Speechless, I carefully examined the first row: Wei Sanfu, Wei Sanshou, Wei Sankang...
Chu Yuan, "!!!"
What's going on? If they are quadruplets, is the last one named Wei Sanning?
May you enjoy good fortune, longevity, health, and peace!
Happiness, longevity, health, and peace?
The meaning is good, but why is it so corny? Chu Yuan even thought that the dog emperor might not like the number "three," but rather that he was terrible at naming things?
These few, listed in the first row, seem to be the ones the emperor is most satisfied with?!
Chu Yuan sighed and reluctantly put down the Xuan paper.
"Let's discuss it with the Emperor when he comes tonight."
She really didn't want to use the number "three" because it messed up the generational order!
Although Emperor Xian of Wei and the Empress Dowager seemed not to mind the matter, with Princess Sanyan being an example, or perhaps it was just Emperor Xian's way of showing his love for his child, Chu Yuan still found it too offensive.
It just doesn't feel right no matter how I try to get it.
Just as she was pondering this, Consort Wan's voice came from the courtyard, three parts surprise and seven parts delight, "Consort Fang, are you feeling better? Why didn't you announce your arrival and instead stood in the rain?"
The drizzle wasn't heavy, but it wasn't good for a sick person.
Consort Fang held Lingxi's hand, wearing a thick cloak, but the material was neither new nor old, and she looked somewhat shabby.
To appear magnanimous, the Empress never skimped on the expenses of the harem, but things certainly weren't much better for her. Among the concubines, Consort Wan and Consort Fang were neglected and fared much worse than Consort Zheng, the Empress Dowager's niece.
Of course, Consort Zheng was of high rank and already had a respectable status.
Her family would send her money from time to time, unlike Consort Wan and Consort Fang, who were both pitiful abandoned children.
Upon hearing this, Consort Fang slightly raised her thin face, revealing a hint of frailty and embarrassment. "I...I heard that the Imperial Concubine is very fortunate to have given birth to three princes, and I wanted to come and offer my congratulations..."
Actually, I was just passing by when I heard the child suddenly crying, and my feet just wouldn't obey me and I ended up here.
Furthermore, she also knew about the concubine's difficult childbirth.
The palace maids and eunuchs on duty at Yongshou Palace discussed it privately that day. They described the whole process as extremely dangerous, saying that Consort Ying almost lost her life. It was only when the Emperor rushed in and his imposing imperial aura frightened away the illness that Consort Ying was snatched back from the brink of death.
The last prince was also born successfully.
Consort Fang listened to these nonsensees without taking them seriously, but she also knew that childbirth would certainly be difficult.
Consort Ying was truly blessed; she not only gave birth, but she gave birth to three children.
This made her a little envious and jealous; if her child had survived, he would be several years old now…
But it's pointless to say all this now.
Consort Fang glanced past Consort Wan and looked to the side behind her; the child's voice was coming from that direction.
Consort Wan took the oil-paper umbrella from He Ye's hand and went over to hold it over Consort Fang's head. "So it's for congratulations. Oh, what a big deal. Look how cautious you are. Come in quickly. Let me tell you, the Imperial Concubine is broad-minded and very easy to get along with. If you want to see the child, just come in openly."
"Wouldn't she be wary of me?" Consort Fang didn't believe it.
There are no truly magnanimous people in the imperial harem; even sisters keep their own secrets.
Not to mention when it involves children!
Back then, when the Empress gave birth to a princess, she kept her under her watchful eye every day, fearing that she might be secretly harmed by someone.
In fact, while everyone may compete for favor, very few people can be truly ruthless with their children.
