Chapter 638 Twins
Besides, this kind of thing, the matter of having children.
The emperor and the empress were tired, but they had to go and see.
So they went to Jiyunxuan together.
He also told other people not to come, let alone disturb the Queen Mother.
Yeon So Won was also afraid when she suddenly went into labor, but the midwife told her that this was normal, which calmed her down.
She was tired today, so she drank a bowl of ginseng chicken soup early in the morning, otherwise she would not have the strength to give birth.
Even so, the pain was unbearable.
It started raining outside again. When Qi Yixiu and the Queen arrived, the sticky feeling made them uncomfortable.
The cries of pain coming from the hall were also uncomfortable.
They sat in the main hall and waited.
In fact, it was already late after the banquet. After seeing off the empress dowager, I went to Fengzao Palace and then to Jiyunxuan. It was almost midnight now.
The two of them could only drink tea to refresh themselves while waiting.
Yeon So Won's belly looks very big, so it must be difficult for her to give birth at this moment.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for about an hour, there was movement inside.
Hot water was carried in bucket by bucket, and the servants coming in and out were in a hurry without any ugly expressions on their faces.
At about the end of midnight, there was a loud commotion inside.
About a quarter of an hour later, I heard a baby crying.
There was also the midwife's exclamation, and then the second one came.
The Queen stood up and asked, "Twins?"
Qi Yixiu was also surprised, as this had never happened before in the royal family.
The midwife came out quickly to announce the good news: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty the Queen! Empress Yan Zhaoyuan has given birth to the fourteenth prince and the ninth princess, and both mother and child are safe!"
"Are they twins?" The Queen also smiled in surprise: "Reward her!"
Qi Yixiu also smiled: "The palace gives a monthly allowance, Ji Yunxuan gets three months. Give Yan Zhaoyuan a reward, and tell her that I will come to see her when she is better."
The emperor was really tired.
After giving thanks, the midwife and others went in happily.
Qi Yixiu did not see the child either, so he returned to Fengzao Palace with the queen.
In Jiyunxuan, Yeon So-won cleaned up, drank porridge and looked after the two children.
Because they are twins, neither of them is fat.
"It's strange, because it was from the front to the back, not from the sides, so no one could tell." The midwife laughed.
Yeon So Won also smiled.
In fact, she already knew it.
The midwife couldn't tell, but the imperial physician would know by feeling the pulse, but she didn't allow anyone to tell anyone.
What's the point of telling others before the baby is born?
Now that the child was born safely, she felt relieved.
The next morning, everyone in the palace knew about it.
No wonder it came half a month early. It’s usually difficult for twins to carry to full term.
Everyone felt that Yeon So Won was so lucky.
However, I didn’t get promoted even after giving birth to twins. I don’t know what’s going on.
Shen Chuliu was a little surprised when he heard this, and just ordered someone to send the reward.
She just sent it and didn't care about it anymore. She was now obsessed with studying medicinal food with Chi Su and others. Because her body needed careful conditioning, she bought a lot of things in her small kitchen and hired two cooks.
Now she still has to go to the kitchen for food, but it’s very little.
Occasionally I would cook some big dishes. Usually I would cook in my own small kitchen.
In fact, everyone with status in the harem can have a small kitchen. Shen Chuliu never mentioned it over the years because the food in the kitchen was to her taste.
Now that she has it, she even wants to go in and do it herself.
Several cooks were so scared that they were about to cry, and begged her to just give them some instructions and let them do the work.
Seeing how bitter and resentful they were, Shen Chuliu had no choice but to give up.
She couldn't give any useful advice, and in the end everyone just ate whatever others cooked.
It was quite lively for several days.
After the emperor came again, three or four days later, she seemed to be in much better spirits and happier.
"I heard that you are going to tear down the small kitchen these days?"
"Yan'er said that?" Shen Chuliu was shocked: "This naughty kid!"
Qi Yixiu laughed at her: "Are you addicted to cooking again? Weren't you planting flowers some time ago?"
"I don't have the strength now and can't even lift the hoe." Shen Chuliu sighed.
"Then why are you going into the kitchen? Even though I don't cook, I know that you can't even lift the pot." Qi Yixiu said.
"Then I'd better not go there as much. By the way, I haven't congratulated the emperor yet. Twins, a boy and a girl, are rare. I have already asked someone to prepare for the full-month ceremony." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"Well, this is indeed a happy event. It is rare that the Ninth Princess and the Fourteenth Prince are both in good health." said the emperor.
"Pooh, pooh, whatever you say is naturally good." Shen Chuliu snorted.
Seeing her so cute and innocent, the emperor had an idea.
He hasn't touched her for a long time.
Right now, I'm about to start making some moves.
So he took Shen Chuliu's hand and looked at her.
Shen Chuliu was at a loss for a moment, then blushed: "Dinner hasn't even started yet!"
"What are you talking about, my beloved? When did I forbid you to use it? Are you thinking about something you shouldn't be thinking about?" Qi Yixiu raised his eyebrows.
Shen Chuliu...
"Has the emperor thought about it?" Shen Chuliu asked back, unconvinced.
Qi Yixiu stood up with a smile, pulled her up and hugged her: "No need to eat dinner, eat something else first."
Having said that, he carried the person into the inner room.
After a long time, Shen Chuliu's annoyed voice came from the inner room: "Is the emperor so weak because he didn't eat?"
Qi Yixiu laughed and then scolded her: "Don't scream when it hurts!"
Then, the room was filled with beauty and Shen Chuliu no longer had time to speak.
After an unknown amount of time, when the sky was full of stars, Qi Yixiu finally asked, "Are you hungry?"
"A little." Shen Chuliu touched her belly.
She was really a little satisfied.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!
In the past, the emperor would come every few days and things were stable. But now, when the emperor comes, he treats her like a porcelain doll. She is not used to it yet.
I am satisfied now.
So the emperor called someone in to serve him, had him wash simply, put on casual clothes, and without combing his hair, quickly set the table for dinner.
Shen Chuliu can't skip a meal now.
It’s not good to be late.
But occasionally, the emperor would indulge himself.
Eat and drink enough.
After eating and drinking enough in every sense, Shen Chuliu slept particularly well that night.
Qi Yixiu got up at night but she didn't make any noise.
Qi Yixiu lay back down and looked at her under the moonlight. She was sleeping on her side with one hand on her chest and the other on the pillow.
He looked completely defenseless.
It's indeed much better than before.
Qi Yixiu looked at her for a while, put her hand down from the pillow, hugged her and closed his eyes.
Shen Chuliu felt the emperor hugging her, so she moved closer. She liked warmth now.
He leaned close to the emperor and whispered something, but the emperor couldn't hear clearly.
Then both fell asleep again.
When getting up early, Shen Chuliu would hold a quilt and cover herself with another quilt.
Then he opened his eyes blankly and muttered, "I dreamed yesterday that the emperor invited me to eat braised fish..."
"Master, braising it might not work, so let's steam it." Xinlu said.
Shen Chuliu chuckled: "...Okay."
