Upon seeing this, Wen Nongnong quickly reached out her hand, "Mother, Lüqiao, quickly give me the child."
"Okay." The two nodded and placed the child beside her with smiles.
Wen Nongnong looked at the two children lying side by side beside her, and her eyes involuntarily became moist.
Looking at her child's sleeping face, her heart melted completely.
At this moment, all the hardships were worthwhile.
This is the child she risked her life to give birth to.
She reached out and gently touched the two children's faces.
"The baby has just been born, so it's hard to tell who he looks like right now. But once his features have developed in a few days, we'll be able to tell," said Madam Xu softly, standing beside the baby and looking at him.
She was already a grandmother, and now she's a maternal grandmother, feeling a sense of fulfillment she's never felt before.
Wen Nongnong nodded, looking at the two children with tender eyes.
When she gave birth to her first child, she vaguely heard the midwife say "heir apparent," which meant that the boy would be born first and be the older brother, while the girl would be the younger sister.
"Your Highness, have you decided what name to give our child?" Wen Nongnong looked up at Gu Linchao with anticipation, thinking of something.
Gu Linchao looked at her tenderly, "I had already thought about it before the child was born, but I didn't know if you would like it."
"Tell me first," Wen Nongnong said quickly.
Madam Xu and Luqiao also looked at Gu Linchao, wanting to know what names he had given to the heir and the princess.
"Your brother's name is Gu Huaijin, and your sister's name is Gu Yaoyao. What do you think, Nunnong?" Gu Linchao asked Wen Nunnong after stating the names.
"Gu Huaijin, Gu Yaoyao?" Wen Nongnong repeated, thinking that both the brother and sister's names were quite nice, but she preferred her sister's name, Yaoyao, which was so cute. She happily said, "They're very nice! But how come Your Highness has already thought of names for both a boy and a girl?"
"At the time, we didn't know if it was a boy or a girl, so we gave each of them a boy's and a girl's name," Gu Linchao said gently, a slight smile playing on his lips.
“Since His Highness has already chosen these names, let’s call them Huaijin and Yaoyao.” Wen Nongnong said, reaching out her finger to gently touch the children’s faces.
As soon as she finished speaking, the two children suddenly opened their eyes and looked at her.
The newborn baby's face hadn't fully developed yet, but its eyes were exceptionally beautiful—round, dark, and pure.
Wen Nongnong was stunned for a moment, staring at them for a while. Just as she was about to say something, the children suddenly burst into tears.
Wen Nongnong immediately panicked and begged Gu Linchao and Madam Xu for help.
"What should we do? The children are crying..."
Mrs. Xu said with a smile, "The children are crying suddenly, either because they are hungry or they need to wet themselves." As she spoke, she sat down by the bed, carefully opened the swaddling clothes, checked them, and found them to be dry. She then said to Wen Nongnong, "The children must be hungry. You should feed them milk first."
Wen Nongnong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Looking at her children lying side by side, she decisively picked up her daughter, and regardless of whether her son could understand at this moment, she said softly to her son, "Your little sister is smaller, and you are the older brother, so you have to let your little sister eat first, and then I will feed you later."
I don’t know if the brother understood, but after she picked up his sister, he stopped crying and lay down quietly.
After Wen Nongnong picked up her daughter, she took off her clothes, but she couldn't get the hang of it. Xu Shi patiently guided her from the side.
After a moment, Wen Nongnong finally grasped the key to feeding the child.
"Ouch, it hurts so much..." Tears welled up in my eyes.
Wen Nongnong suddenly called out.
Mrs. Xu felt both distressed and helpless. "It's always like this at the beginning. It will get better in a couple of days. Just bear with it."
Gu Linchao saw Wen Nongnong feeding the child and originally intended to leave, but when he saw her face contorted in pain, he felt sorry for her.
“Mother-in-law, since Nong Nong is in so much pain, why don’t we let the wet nurse feed the children?” he suggested, frowning.
In any case, the household had already hired two wet nurses.
He didn't want Nong Nong to be in so much pain.
Seeing how much he cared for Wen Nong Nong, Madam Xu was naturally happy. However, after looking at Nong Nong's condition, she realized that she was very juicy and would feel bloated if she didn't feed her herself. So she said, "It's alright. Let her feed herself for now. When the baby is older and doesn't have enough to eat, we can let the wet nurse feed her."
Wen Nongnong looked at Gu Linchao with teary eyes.
Gu Linchao felt even more sorry for her when she looked at him like that.
“Mother-in-law, the baby has only just started to be fed, so let the wet nurse feed the baby.” As she spoke, she reached out to take the daughter from Wen Nongnong’s arms.
Seeing this, Wen Nongnong hugged the child tighter and wiped away her tears, saying, "Never mind, I'll feed him myself. I heard that if a child feeds himself, he will be closer to his mother in the future."
Gu Linchao looked at her with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "Are you sure you want to feed her yourself?"
Staring into his dark eyes, Wen Nongnong hesitated for a moment before saying, "I...I...I want to feed her for a while first and see."
Hearing her say that, Gu Linchao nodded, "Then let's do as you say."
Xu watched from the sidelines with deep emotion.
The prince's son-in-law is truly impeccable.
There is probably no man in the world who can compare to him.
When Nong Nong gave birth, he specially rushed back from the capital. He looked travel-worn, obviously having not rested on the way. After Nong Nong gave birth, he personally cleaned her up. Now, even when she shows signs of pain while feeding the child, he immediately asks the wet nurse to feed her.
She felt very gratified and fortunate that her daughter had married such a good husband.
"Your Highness has traveled day and night to return from the capital; you must be exhausted. You should go and rest early. I will take care of Nong Nong here," Madam Xu said with concern.
