Chapter 216 Happy Qixi Festival



Read storybooks, listen to the melodious songs of swallows and orioles, watch graceful dances, and spend time with your child who is growing up day by day.

Such a life would be like that of a god if it happened to someone else, but unfortunately, it happened to Jiang Xuelin.

Fu Hanlai would occasionally go out for a stroll. The "Tian Ri Zhao Zhao" tabloid still needed manpower, and since Jiang Xuelin was currently unavailable, Fu Hanlai naturally had to go there from time to time. He spent most of his time at home.

The newborn babies weren't good-looking, especially since Jiang Xuelin gave birth to twins; they were skinny and thin. But as the days went by, the babies became plump and fair-skinned at a visible speed, making Fu Hanlai exclaim that they were completely different from the little monkeys they had been before.

Jiang Xuelin didn't say that, but judging from the fact that she didn't curse when Fu Hanlai came, she knew that she thought so too. Both masters... didn't seem very reliable, which made the wet nurses of the two children extremely worried.

After the child grew up, Fu Hanlai realized... it seemed like he had given birth to the child for nothing.

They don't look like him at all, but they are extremely similar to Jiang Xuelin, with only a tiny bit of his resemblance on their faces.

After thinking about it, it seemed reasonable that Jiang Xuelin had just escaped death before giving birth to this child.

As the days passed, Jiang Xue couldn't help but count on her fingers how many more days she had left in her postpartum period. Finally, the day arrived when her two children turned one month old.

The entire Prince's mansion was once again filled with joy. In Qiutang Courtyard, Jiang Xuelin had changed her clothes early in the morning, and the joy on her face was simply impossible to hide. Others who saw her thought that she was happy because she had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, which had never appeared in the royal family before. Little did they know that she was excited because she had finally gotten rid of those days.

In short, on the second day after the full moon, Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai led a large group of people to the main courtyard early in the morning.

Normally, when they went to the main courtyard to pay their respects, they were accompanied by only two or three maids and servants, but this time was different. Behind them were also nannies carrying children and their belongings.

"Mother, before Jiang Xuelin gave birth, I went to Yuanshan Temple to offer incense and pray for the safety of both mother and child. Now that both children are a month old, I would like to go to Yuanshan Temple with Jiang Xuelin to fulfill my vow."

"Yes, Mother. There's no one to look after the two children if they stay in Qiutang Courtyard. It would be more reassuring to leave them with you. We're sorry to trouble you."

The couple talked while looking longingly at Princess Ping.

Princess Ping already knew about this yesterday, so she wasn't surprised and had no objection to it, well...

They're all just excuses.

It wasn't some kind of vow-fulfilling ceremony at all; it was clearly just that the couple had been cooped up at home for too long and were finally able to go out and have some fresh air, so they couldn't resist running out and having some fun.

The route from the capital to Yuanshan Temple is flat and sparsely populated, making it perfect for horseback riding.

However, despite knowing the truth, she didn't say anything, and besides, she had some questions to ask the wet nurses who were with the two children.

She hadn't asked too many questions before, mainly because she didn't want to hurt Jiang Xuelin's feelings and was afraid that Jiang Xuelin would overthink things. However, she was really overthinking it.

Jiang Xuelin, with her personality, wouldn't have such wild thoughts.

Princess Ping was simply refraining from touching a child who was a mother at this time, as she was acting as a mother herself.

"Alright, Little Moon and Lu'er are my grandson and granddaughter. Even if you didn't say anything, I, as their grandmother, would take good care of them. You two can go out now, just don't cause any trouble." The two children were awake at this moment, and Princess Ping gently teased them for a moment before advising them.

I'm not worried about anything else, just don't cause trouble.

"Now that you're parents, you need to be more mature and set a good example for your two children."

"Yes, Mother, I understand."

Seeing that Fu Hanlai didn't speak, Princess Ping's face instantly went blank, and she turned her gaze to her son.

"...Yes, Mother, I understand. Besides, I don't usually cause trouble."

Princess Ping did not want to answer the question, and simply waved for them to leave quickly.

The two didn't say anything more, took their leave, and left with a cheerful gait, as if they wanted to jump for joy, which made Princess Ping shake her head helplessly.

"Little Moon and Lu'er must not learn to be like their parents in the future."

Children need a lot of sleep, and soon the two children were yawning and falling asleep. Only then did Princess Ping call over the wet nurse to inquire about the children's condition.

"Now that the two children are grown up, what are their personalities like?"

I am very concerned about this issue!

"The young master and the young princess naturally have excellent temperaments..."

The wet nurses were very respectful and showered her with praise. Only then did Princess Ping realize that she had asked a foolish question. As for her character, she had to see for herself. How could the wet nurses dare to make a judgment?

When King Ping returned from court, both children had just woken up and were looking around with their round, black, grape-like eyes.

Seeing how much the Princess Consort liked it, Prince Ping couldn't help but add a comment.

"Since the princess likes them so much, why not take the two children to the main courtyard to rest for a while?"

In this respect, it is extremely common for ordinary people's elders to take their grandchildren away and raise them.

Heaven knows that he only asked the question subconsciously because he saw how much Princess Ping liked it, but all he got in return was a reproachful look from her.

"Your Highness, what do you know? Of course I love these two children very much, but it is not appropriate for me to take them in and raise them."

Back when Fu Hanlai was just born, she couldn't sleep day or night, and dared not let the child out of her sight. The Empress Dowager kindly asked if she wanted to raise the child in the palace, because the imperial physicians would be on duty there, and things would be done more quickly. At that time, Princess Ping felt a heart-wrenching pain.
