After being scolded by their older sister, the two little ones were so frightened that they quickly let go of each other's hands and dared not pester them anymore.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the little girl quickly went down.
With a cry of "Wah!", the baby girl was born first.
"Haha, Her Majesty the Empress has given birth! It's a little princess!" the midwife said happily, quickly cutting the umbilical cord and placing the baby girl in the bathtub.
After the baby girl was born, the baby boy also came out.
A pair of dragons and phoenixes brought good fortune, and everyone offered their congratulations to Su Ruiling.
Chang, the old nanny beside Su Ruiling, burst into tears of joy and rushed out to report the good news to the emperor who was waiting outside the palace.
After the palace maids washed the twins, the two wet nurses wrapped them in soft blankets and brought them to Su Ruiling.
The two babies had slightly flushed faces and features that resembled Su Ruiling's; they looked adorable and innocent.
As soon as the little dumpling saw her younger siblings, she jumped up and down happily, then clamored for Qingxi to hug her.
Qingxi lovingly picked her up and carried her to the twins.
As soon as she got close to her younger siblings, the little dumpling couldn't help but reach out and touch their noses.
The two babies felt her touch and grinned at the same time, seemingly quite fond of the little dumpling as their older sister.
The little dumpling happily asked Qingxi, "Mommy, Mommy, was I like this when I was born?"
Qingxi pinched her little face, "That's different! Your younger brother and sister are so cute. When you were born, you were so ugly. Your mother thought she had given birth to a monkey."
"Huh??" The little dumpling waved its hands and said, "Not ugly! Not ugly! I'm not ugly at all!"
Qingxi laughed heartily, "Mommy was just teasing you. After you were born, you were fair and tender, just like a glutinous rice ball, so Mommy called you Little Dumpling."
The little boy's eyes lit up. "Oh, I see! Auntie, let's name our little brother and sister too!"
After drinking a bowl of tonic, Su Ruiling's complexion improved significantly, and she nodded to the little dumpling.
"Little dumpling, think about it, what names should you give your younger brother and sister?"
Upon hearing this, the two babies in the swaddling clothes looked at the little dumpling expectantly.
The little dumpling put its finger to its lips and thought for a moment before saying, "Let's call them Slow and Steep!"
Su Ruiling and Qingxi looked at the little dumpling in confusion.
The little dumpling explained, "Because my younger siblings didn't come out for a long time, they were so slow, which made my aunt feel pain for a long time!"
Su Ruiling and Qingxi: Oh! I see!
Su Ruiling said with some emotion, "Little Tuanzi is so considerate of me, unlike these two little ones who have been bothering me for so long! In that case, let's name the girl Manman and the boy Tuntun."
Eight months later.
Su Ruiling and Wei Qingxi leaned close together, discussing the embroidery, while the three children played nearby.
Manman and Tuntun have already learned to crawl. The two of them are lying on the ground with their hands on the ground, looking at the little girl in front of them with blank expressions.
The little dumpling, with her hair in two buns, stood with her hands on her hips in a rather peculiar way, and said to the two toddlers:
"Line up and listen to my command."
The little dumpling imitated his older brother's drills in the military camp, shouting, "Left turn!"
The two little babies quickly started crawling, but they couldn't tell left from right yet. One crawled to the left and the other to the right, and their little bottoms ended up touching.
"No! No! You're wrong, turn right now!"
Thump!
The two little babies bumped their heads together and started crying loudly in pain.
The little dumpling quickly went to look at the two of them and blew on their heads.
"Whoosh, whoosh, the pain is gone! Don't cry, don't cry!"
The two little babies obediently stopped crying.
The little dumpling happily gave the two kisses and continued to act as the little commander.
She really enjoys playing this game, since everyone around her is an adult and no one wants to play it with her.
But her younger siblings were different; they were much younger than her and obediently listened to her.
Su Ruiling and Wei Qingxi covered their mouths and chuckled as they watched the three of them playing around.
Wei Qingxi patted Su Ruiling's hand and asked, "Have you two decided? Have you chosen a name for the baby?"
Su Ruiling handed Wei Qingxi an orange. "I've thought it through. Both of them were born at night, under the stars. The boy will be named Wei Xinghao, and the girl will be named Wei Xingman. Their nicknames will be Manman and Tuntun, which were chosen by Xiaotuanzi."
After Su Ruiling finished speaking, she looked at Wei Qingxi with a somewhat embarrassed expression and said:
"By the way, a letter came from the Sirius Kingdom the other day. Would you like to hear it?"
