Hearing this, the servants were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. Leng Yu, who had just rushed back, rushed in with joy and went straight to Luo Lan's bed.
"Lan'er, I'm sorry I'm back late."
He came to the bed, held her hand tightly, and looked at her apologetically.
Luo Lan grinned and smiled gently, "I don't blame you, you have important things to do. Besides, I'm going to give birth suddenly. The servants are running to inform you now. It takes two hours to go from the mansion to the military camp and back."
Leng Yu kissed her hand, then looked at the baby lying beside her, then looked around and asked in confusion:
"I just heard the midwife say you are twins. Where is the other child?"
Hearing his question, Luo Lan said to Ah Cai who had just come in:
"Go ask Ah Hong to bring over the basket of eggs."
The meaning of her words was very clear: this matter must not be discovered by others.
A Cai was stunned for a moment, then nodded in understanding, turned around, and left quickly.
Seeing Ah Cai leave, Leng Yu still looked at her with puzzled eyes.
"Lan'er, where is the other child?"
Luo Lan tilted his head to glance at the sleeping child, and said to Leng Yu:
"Husband, I'm sorry. I can deceive everyone, but I don't want to lie to you. In fact, I only gave birth to one son."
Hearing this, Leng Yu looked at her in surprise, "Then why did the midwife claim that you gave birth to twins?"
"I asked her to say that. A few days ago, someone left an abandoned baby at the back door of the palace. I felt sorry for the child, so..."
"So you want to claim that the child is also yours?"
Seeing that he was a little excited, Luo Lan hurriedly explained:
"Don't be angry. I didn't mean to hide it from you. You've been busy with military affairs these days and haven't had time to come back, so I haven't had time to discuss this with you. She's a little girl, and both her parents are dead. She's quite pitiful."
"Didn't you say someone left it at the door? How do you know it wasn't done on purpose?"
Luo Lan blinked a few times and sighed:
"Who would have the heart to abandon a living child? Besides, I asked Ah Hong to check, and the child's parents... were indeed killed in an accident. A neighbor brought her to Prince Yu's mansion."
She made all of this up. This was the first time she lied to Leng Yu.
She couldn't let Leng Yu know the child's origins. Perhaps when the child grew up, she would find a suitable opportunity to tell him, but definitely not now.
After a while, Ah Hong came to Luo Lan's room carrying a basket containing the baby girl. After closing the door, she stood there at a loss.
Luo Lan gestured to Ah Cai to help her sit up. She held her own baby boy in her arms, and then said to Ah Hong:
"Bring the other child here."
Only then did Ah Hong timidly take the baby girl out of the basket, and following Leng Yu's surprised look, she placed her in Luo Lan's arms.
Looking at the two children in her arms, Luo Lan discussed with Leng Yu in a gentle voice:
"Husband, I was wrong not to discuss this with you, but there really is a reason. If you really don't agree..."
When Luo Lan said these words worriedly, Leng Yu raised his hands, touched the two children's faces respectively, and said softly:
"I like boys, and you like girls. This way we'll have both a son and a daughter. It's a good thing. How could I not agree?"
"Really?"
Leng Yu's words surprised Luo Lan. She thought he would be angry with her for a few days, just like when he adopted Huaiyu, but she didn't expect him to agree so quickly.
Leng Yu stepped forward and took the baby girl. When he looked at her, the baby girl actually grinned again.
"You and I were both children who had no heartache since childhood. We both deeply understand this kind of suffering. The fact that she has the opportunity to come to Prince Yu's Mansion means that we are destined to be together. From now on, she will be our daughter."
Seeing Leng Yu agreed so readily, Luo Lan suddenly burst into tears, and A Cai and A Hong also nodded happily.
After a while, Luo Lan looked at the two of them and said seriously:
"If anyone dares to make this matter known to the outside world, I will not let them off easily."
Hearing this, Ah Cai and Ah Hong knelt down together, swore an oath with one hand, and said solemnly:
"Don't worry, Princess. Ah Cai and Ah Hong will keep this matter to themselves and never tell anyone about it."
Luo Lan then lowered her head to look at the baby in her arms and said to Leng Yu:
"Husband, give them each a nickname!"
Leng Yu looked at the baby in her arms and said softly:
"Let's name our daughter An'an and our son Lele!"
"Well, An An Le Le, this name is quite nice. What about your full name?"
"I will report this to the Emperor later. I'll let him choose the name. Huaiyu was given the name by him."
Luo Lan looked at Lele in her arms and An An in Leng Yu's arms with tender eyes. No matter what, An An was the emperor's granddaughter, and it was most appropriate for the emperor to give her a name.
Leng Yu couldn't wait to go to the palace to ask for permission. Luo Lan called Ah Cai and Ah Hong to his side and said seriously:
"Only the three of us know about this child's origins. If anyone dares to reveal this, I will tear her mouth apart."
Hearing this, Ah Cai took the lead in expressing his opinion:
"Don't worry, Princess. This matter will remain secret in Ah Cai's heart. From now on, An An is the daughter of you and Prince Yu, and the second young lady of Prince Yu's mansion."
Ah Hong also nodded seriously and said solemnly:
