Chapter 422 Dragon and Phoenix Twins

What?

Twins!

Concubine Shu and Lady Ye were startled and covered their chests: "How could it be twins? Didn't the imperial physician find out?"

Imperial Physician Yan hurriedly said: "How could this be? Your Majesty, I will go and look at your pulse."

Twins... they must be dragon and phoenix twins!

The Queen Mother is at the center of jealousy. In order to implement the new law, those ministers from noble families want to eat her alive.

If she gave birth to two princes...

I guess people will start to spread the bad words that she is a demon queen who brings disaster to the country.

Odd numbers are yang, and even numbers are yin.

And yin represents bad luck.

For example, the door nails of each door of the Forbidden City, such as Wumen, Xihuamen, and Shenwumen, are in nine rows and nine columns, with eighty-one being an odd number, i.e. a yang number.

Only the door nails of Donghuamen use an odd number, which is nine vertically and eight horizontally, with a total of seventy-two.

According to legend, an emperor who was defeated in the war committed suicide by walking out of this gate, so Donghuamen became an unlucky place.

Twin princes ruin the country's fortune.

Because even numbers are unlucky, once twins were born, the doctor would kill the weaker child under the order of the emperor.

This also confirms the saying circulated in the royal family: "In a royal family with twins, one son leaves and the other returns."

Even if the emperor is willing to cover up and give the other prince to another concubine to raise, he can't stop the gossip.

Everyone knows that the Queen Mother was warned by the heavens and gave birth to twins.

"God bless you, please bless the Queen Mother!"

The emperor said solemnly: "Wang Dequan, Tang Shiliang, seal Kunning Palace, and don't let a fly out."

If Yue'er really gave birth to twins, he would hand one of them to Concubine Shu on the spot, register it in her name, and let her take it back to raise.

Jiang Xinyue gritted her teeth and exerted force again.

The soreness in her lower body was obviously relieved as the child fell. Jiang Xinyue's forehead was covered with sweat, and all her strength was used up. She raised her hand weakly: "Boy... or girl?" Only

after confirming the gender can she determine what to do next? How can she keep both children by her side?

The emperor wanted to give up one of the twins for his own good, but Jiang Xinyue didn't think that twins were bad, and that they were all feudal superstition.

She even raised other people's children to be plump and white, so why couldn't she raise her own children?

"Your Majesty!"

The face of the magpie was ecstatic: "It's a princess! Your Majesty! You gave birth to a princess!"

In excitement, her voice became sharp: "Dragon and phoenix twins, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Xinyue raised her head, breathed a sigh of relief, and finally let go. She closed her eyes and fainted.

The emperor outside the house heard the voice of the magpie. He was stunned at first, and then burst into great joy, and was almost overwhelmed by the joy.

She turned to look at Concubine Shi beside her in disbelief: "Did I hear wrongly? What did Xi Que say just now? Did Yue'er give birth to a dragon and phoenix twin? Did she give birth to a princess for me?"

Before Concubine Shi could even open her mouth, her smile became forced, and Concubine Liang and Concubine Shu stepped forward and pushed her away: "Your Majesty, you heard it right, Xi Que was talking about a dragon and phoenix twin. It shows that the heavens also recognize the Queen Mother and sent a golden boy and fairy to you and your majesty."

"I was wondering why the seventh prince was so handsome, it turns out he took after our third princess! That's it, the third princess must be the most beautiful."

"Why haven't you brought her out yet? I'm so anxious. If the third princess takes after the queen, it will be terrible."

The emperor began to pace at the door again, clasping his hands together and pounding them, expressing his nervousness and joy.

Xi Que wiped the little princess clean, wrapped her in a beautiful swaddling cloth, and tied a beautiful princess knot before carrying the third princess out like a rare treasure.

Xiang Ma laughed behind her: "The emperor must be getting impatient."

Several wet nurses lined up in a row. In order to avoid accidents like before, four were directly selected this time, all of which were reserved for the seventh prince.

Now the seventh prince and the third princess each have two, which is enough.

The little princess was born thin and weak. She didn't absorb much nutrition in the womb. Her kitten-like crying sound was heartbreaking.

As soon as Xi Que carried the third princess out and before she could say the good news, the emperor stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the little princess."

Xi Que was very careful, fearing that the emperor would not hold her properly. She held the emperor's lower body with both hands and followed him to run left and right.

The emperor was not overwhelmed and remembered to ask, "How is your queen? Is she okay? Is there any tear?"

He still remembered that when the first prince was born, a midwife wanted to cut open Yue'er's lower body with scissors, saying that she was afraid of tearing or something.

Xi Que lowered her head and said, "In reply to Your Majesty, there is only a little redness and swelling. The female doctor said that it is because the Seventh Prince and the Third Princess are very thin. They will be fine after a few days of applying medicine. Your Majesty does not need to worry."

"How can you not worry? Your Majesty has given birth to two children in succession. It must have been very hard. Xi Que, your Majesty said so because she is afraid that Your Majesty will worry?"

Xi Que chuckled and said, "Your Majesty Liang Fei, you gave birth to the eldest princess, so you should know how hard it is. Only those who have never given birth to a child think it is easy! Your Majesty, don't you think so?"

This palace maid is so bold that she dares to tease the emperor.

No!

Shi Fei reacted, and Xi Que must have heard what she had just said to comfort the emperor. She was not teasing the emperor at all, but clearly implying that she should not speak nonsense since she had never given birth to a child.

"You girl..."

The emperor gritted his teeth and glared at her, but looking at the thin and small Third Princess in his hands, a warm current surged to his chest, turning into the most tender gaze.

He reached out a hand and touched the Third Princess's face. Before he could hold her warm, Nanny Xiang came out and said, "Your Majesty, the Third Princess needs to drink milk. Please let me carry her in to feed her!"

Emperor Xuanwu reluctantly let go and put the little princess into Nanny Xiang's arms: "Can I go in to see Yue'er?"

Nanny Xiang nodded: "Of course, you can, but Your Majesty has fainted from exhaustion. I have asked the small kitchen to stew some fish soup for Your Majesty to replenish her body."

The emperor nodded, and before following them in, he turned to Concubine Liang, Concubine Shu, Concubine Shi, and Noble Ye and said, "None of you are allowed to disturb Yue'er's rest these days, do you hear me?"

Concubine Liang resisted the urge to curse, and knelt down with everyone else and said, "Your servant obeys your order."

Only you, a dog man, know how to worry about the empress, but we are not worried, right?

The empress might want to see them even more!

Jiang Xinyue was sleeping, and many dark shadows in her dream were far and near, sometimes high-rise buildings, sometimes red lights and wine, making her think that the years in the Great Yan Dynasty were just a dream.

"Yuer? Yuer?"

"Yuer? Wake up..."
