Chapter 407 Portrait
Chen Tang didn't know how long she had slept. When she woke up, there were lights on in the room and Xie Guimo was sitting beside the bed looking at her.
His eyes, which were more beautiful than the summer night sky, were full of tenderness and emotion.
"Thanks for your hard work."
His fingertips were heavily calloused, and they felt slightly stinging when they touched his face.
It is really hard work, but the moment I hear the loud cry of the baby, all the hard work is worth it.
Thinking of the two children, Shen Tang asked, "Have you seen the children?"
Xie Guimo nodded, "I've seen it."
“Does it look good?”
"To be honest, it's a bit ugly."
“…”
Shen Tang glared at him.
Xie Guimo said, "My mother said that my daughter looks like me, and your fourth aunt said that my son looks like you."
Chen Tang said, "It would be better if my son looked like you."
Xie Guimo smiled and said, "Are you praising your husband for being good-looking?"
With a face like his, there's no need for her to praise him; it's obvious to everyone that he's handsome.
The two children were at the nanny’s place, and Chen Tang wanted to look after them. Xie Guimo said, “Eat first.”
She was so hungry that she didn't even have the strength to give birth to a child. Later, she only ate a few cakes. Shen Tang was really hungry.
Gingko Qiutong brought the food over. Chen Tang wanted to eat it herself, but Xie Guimo insisted on feeding her, so Chen Tang obeyed him.
After eating a bowl of rice, he had another half bowl. When he was full, the two wet nurses brought the child over.
The two little guys were sleeping soundly, they were a little wrinkled due to lack of weight, but Shen Tang couldn’t pull himself away after seeing them, he couldn’t get enough of looking at them.
The nurse said, "Newborn babies grow fast. They will be good-looking in three to five days."
Not only did she not have morning sickness, but she also had twins, a boy and a girl. The wet nurses were envious of this lucky girl from the bottom of their hearts. They were also blessed to be the wet nurses of the young prince and the young lady.
The child was asleep and it was not advisable to hold him for too long. Chen Tang watched for a while, and then Xie Guimo asked the wet nurse to take the child away.
He wanted to be alone with Chen Tang, and spent an afternoon in the yard, terrified. He didn't dare to think about what had happened to Chen Tang or what would happen to him. Fortunately, mother and child were safe.
Although Chen Tang slept well, childbirth was extremely exhausting, and she felt sleepy again before she could last half an hour.
Xie Guimo wanted to go to bed, but Chen Tang wouldn't let him, "You go to the study and live in it for half a month."
Xie Guimo looked at her anxiously, "I don't want to sleep in the study."
"But……"
Xie Guimo said, "I'm not doing anything."
Of course she knew he wouldn't do anything, but -
"It's inconvenient for you to sleep on the bed."
Xie Guimo looked at Chen Tang, and Chen Tang said, "I won't lie to you."
Xie Guimo said, "Then I won't sleep in the study either. I'll sleep on the small couch."
Chen Tang, "..."
This guy must have forgotten that he had previously laughed at the prince for sleeping on a small couch, but not long after that, he is sleeping on a small couch himself.
Xie Guimo had made up his mind, and Chen Tang couldn't persuade him, so he could only let him sleep on the small couch.
The next day, when Chen Tang woke up, he asked the nanny to bring the children into the house. The two little ones fell asleep after eating and were very well behaved.
It was just that a certain master was not happy with Chen Tang's eyes being on the two children all the time, so he asked the nanny to take the children away because of the noise in the house and was afraid that it would disturb the children's sleep.
Chen Tang looked at Xie Guimo, "But you are the noisiest person in the room."
A certain gentleman, "..."
Poor Ginkgo, Qiutong and the two midwives almost got internal injuries from holding it in.
Fortunately, the Crown Prince’s Consort dared to say it.
Xie Guimo gritted his teeth and looked at Chen Tang. Chen Tang silently winked at the wet nurse, and the wet nurse took the child away.
After the prince left court, he came to see the children. The princess loved her two little grandchildren so much that she stayed in Chenxiang Courtyard for the whole morning. More and more people came to see Chen Tang and the children. Madam Jiang came to give gifts, and Princess Duan, the wife of Marquis Xuanyi, and the first wife of the Minister of War's Mansion all came.
When they saw the two children, they were extremely envious. Although their daughters-in-law were also pregnant and would give birth in a few months, they still envied the princess for having two grandchildren at once.
As a grandmother, when you have a grandson, you hope for a granddaughter, and when you have a granddaughter, you hope for a grandson. Princess Jingyang is the best. She has both. She wants to hug her grandson and play with her granddaughter.
Princess Yunyi and Princess Roujia also wanted to come, but they were not in good health and did not dare to go out. Only Princess Yu, who was not pregnant, and Jiang Li, who had been married for a short time, came.
The Princess of Yu also had a look of envy on her face. She had blocked the arrow for the Prince of Yu and was seriously injured. The imperial physician had warned her not to get pregnant before her strength recovered. She had been taking contraceptive pills before, and it was not known when she would be able to get pregnant.
Yun Yi and the others couldn't come, so Chu Yi, Lu Li and the others came the next day. They almost fought over holding the baby.
The third day bath was a lively affair, but Chen Tang stayed in the room and was not even allowed to get out of bed, so he didn't see it. However, Si'er told Chen Tang about the excitement.
The names of the two children were also finalized on this day.
Um.
It should have been decided long ago.
The prince was in a bad mood because of Concubine Jiang's cheating on him. Plus, he had a disobedient son who might not let him choose a name for his grandson, so he didn't.
After the child was born, the prince asked Xie Guimo what to name the child.
Xie Guimo looked at the prince, "I also want to ask what name father gave the child?"
Prince, "..."
I never thought that my son could be so obedient.
The prince didn't name his grandson, and Xie Guimo didn't think of what to call his son.
The old prince wanted to snatch the opportunity to name the child, but the prince refused.
Xie Guimo's name was given by the old prince, and now it is his turn to name his grandson.
The old prince said, "From now on, the great-grandson will be yours."
The prince said, "That's not what you said when Mo'er was born."
The old prince and the prince refused to give in.
Finally, each side took a step back.
One for the grandson and the other for the great-granddaughter.
There is nothing to do with Xie Guimo.
If he wants to name a child, he has to either have another child or wait until his grandchild is born.
"Xie Mujing, Xie Muyan."
Xie Guimo showed Chen Tang the child’s name.
Chen Tang asked, "Does my daughter also follow the generation name?"
Xie Yan and the others did not name their children according to their generation names.
Xie Guimo said, "My grandfather chose this name, and it sounds nice."
Indeed, Xie Guiyan's voice is not very nice.
The full name was decided, and the nicknames Chen Tang and Xie Guimo, for the sake of convenience, the two biological parents named one Jing'er and the other Yan'er, and did not choose any other ones as they sounded better.
After seven or eight days of care, the child had grown a lot and was awake longer.
On this day, Chen Tang was playing with the child when Xie Guimo came back from the study. As soon as he sat down, there was a knock on the window and Chen Qi's voice came, "Master, the portrait has been sent to Beijing."
Chen Tang looked at Xie Guimo in confusion, "What portrait?"
Ginkgo had already shown the signs to open the window, took the portrait and presented it to Xie Guimo for review.
Xie Guimo unfolded the portrait, and Chen Tang saw that it was a girl, not very old, only about twelve or thirteen years old.
"This is……?"
Xie Guimo said, "The person in this portrait is my mother's cousin."
Chen Tang was surprised, "After all these years, there are still people who remember her?"
Xie Guimo said, "That's why it took so long to get her portrait."
