Seeing this, the Queen Mother smiled and asked, "Does Jinnian want a brother or a sister?"
"Brother and sister, I want both!"
Shen Jinnian touched Jiang Li's belly and looked at the Empress Dowager beside him with a serious expression.
After these words were spoken, the Queen Mother and Jiang's mother subconsciously looked towards Jiang Li's belly.
Jiang Li's belly was now a size bigger than when she was pregnant with Jinnian. The Queen Mother and Jiang's mother discovered this very early on, and after confirmation by the imperial physician, it turned out that she was pregnant with twins.
Now, Jinnian said seriously that he wanted a younger brother or sister. Could it be that Li'er was pregnant with twins? Thinking of this possibility, the Queen Mother and Jiang's mother called Jinnian to their side and asked him in detail.
However, no matter what they asked, as long as it was related to the baby in Jiang Li's belly, Jinnian would happily say younger brother or sister.
From that day on, Xiao Jinnian would lie on his mother's belly every day to say hello to his younger brothers and sisters in the belly. With the anticipation of Xiao Jinnian and everyone else, Jiang Li finally reached her due date.
Sure enough, she gave birth to a son and a daughter.
Jiang Li and Shen Tingsi agreed that the baby in her belly would take Jiang Li's surname. Now they have given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and both children have the surname Jiang.
The little prince was named Jiang Jinyun and the little princess was named Jiang Jinyu.
After the two children were born, the first thing Shen Tingsi did was to ask the imperial physician to prescribe a lifelong infertility drug for Jiang Li to take, determined not to let Jiang Li suffer the pain of giving birth to children again.
After Jinnian's birth, Shen Tingsi was extremely scared, fearing that something might happen to Jiang Li during childbirth. Even the births of Jinyun and Jinyu were accidents. Now that the two children have been born, Shen Tingsi took lifelong contraceptive medicine without hesitation, determined not to let Jiang Li be in any danger.
He was lucky to have one child with Li'er, and if he had three he would have no regrets in his life.
After having the little princess, Shen Tingsi became a daughter slave. The first thing he did after court every day was to rush to Fengyi Palace to kiss his daughter's chubby little face.
Jinnian also likes his younger siblings very much. He used to love running out to play, but now he lies in front of the cradle every day and talks a lot to his younger siblings.
"Brother and sister, grow up quickly, then we can play together."
"Brother can take you to catch butterflies and fly kites. Grow up quickly, okay?"
Ever since he had younger brothers and sisters, Jinnian would nag in the ears of the two little ones for a long time every day like a little old man.
It’s no wonder Jinnian keeps nagging. He is the only child in the huge palace. Although he is accompanied by his father, mother and others every day, the feeling is different from playing with children of the same age.
With Jinnian's constant nagging, the days passed quickly, and the siblings Jinyun and Jinyu also grew up very fast, changing every day.
When Jinnian was three years old, the two little ones finally learned to talk and walk, and Jinnian finally got new playmates as he wished.
After Qingzhu married Fengjue, she gave birth to a boy. The originally deserted palace suddenly became lively.
Mother Jiang has not been back since she last came to the palace. Now Father Jiang is traveling between Jiangnan and the imperial city. As soon as his business in Jiangnan came to an end, Father Jiang couldn't wait to rush to the imperial city to see his precious grandchildren.
The Queen Mother and Mother Jiang have similar personalities and have now become true close friends who have endless things to talk about every day.
The Queen Mother had been lacking companionship since the death of the late Emperor. The arrival of Jiang Mu, Jiang Li and the children completely filled the void in the Queen Mother's heart.
Now the Queen Mother smiles every day, looks energetic, and is getting younger and younger!
It is said that keeping a happy mood is the best medicine for a woman to maintain beauty. This statement is indeed true. (So babies should be happy every day~)
As the crown prince of the current dynasty and the future heir to the throne, Jinnian began his education at the age of three.
Whenever Jiang Li saw Jinnian getting up before dawn to go to the academy to study, she felt very uncomfortable.
A three-year-old child should be at the most innocent age, but little Jinnian is already very sensible.
It's so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
Jinnian got up before dawn as usual that day. Jiang Li, who had not slept all night, also got up and went to Jinnian's palace when she estimated the time.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
When he saw Jiang Li, Jinnian ran towards her with a look of surprise.
Jiang Li hugged him in her arms with a distressed look on her face: "Jinnian, we won't go to the academy today. Mother will watch over you and let you have a good rest."
"Mother, I am not tired."
Jinnian hugged Jiang Li's neck, and after noticing her emotions, he comforted her: "I am the crown prince, the future heir to the throne. I will secure the throne of Dongchu and protect the people."
"Now, under the rule of my father, Dongchu is peaceful and prosperous. Compared with everything my father has done for Dongchu, my son's morning study is nothing."
"I just want to read more books with you, and learn more about governing a country from you. When I grow up, I will take over your responsibilities. Then you can accompany me to wherever I want to go."
Hearing the small figure say these words, Jiang Li's eyes instantly warmed up and she hugged Jinnian tightly in her arms.
"Jinnian, rather than being sensible, your mother hopes that you can live a carefree and carefree life."
"Mother, everything I do now is what I want to do from the bottom of my heart. I don't feel tired at all. When I grow up, I can become a man like my father and support you, my brothers, sisters, and grandmother."
Jiang Li sniffed and looked at Shen Jinnian with red eyes: "Our Jinnian is a little man now, and he will be a big man when he grows up."
Shen Jinnian raised his little hands to hold Jiang Li's face, and said seriously: "Mother, please wait for me to grow up. When I become a man, I can protect you."
Jiang Li pinched Jinnian's tender little face: "Mother believes in you."
Shen Jinnian showed a row of small milk teeth: "Don't cry, mother. I'm going to be late. I have to go to the academy!"
Jiang Li wiped her eyes and said, "Jinnian is still young. With his father and mother around, Jinnian doesn't need to put too much pressure on himself. Do you understand?"
Shen Jinnian nodded: "I will remember your teachings, mother. It's still early, mother, please go back soon. I'll take my leave!"
After Shen Jinnian finished speaking, he ran out of the hall carrying the small schoolbag embroidered for him by his grandmother. His lively back was full of endless energy every day, as if he could never use up all the energy.
Jiang Li, who was squatting on the ground, stood up after watching Shen Jinnian leave her sight. Her mouth slightly opened, and she was about to say something but never said it out loud.
This is Jinnian's ambition. Even if she, as a mother, feels distressed, she cannot hold her child back. She can only support him silently from behind and become Jinnian's strongest backing.
"My lady, it's still early, let's go back first."
The palace servant at the side spoke, and Jiang Li nodded. Just as she turned around, she saw a tall figure outside the palace...
