Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine

The birth process was very fast. Yaoniang's water broke first this time. Maybe it was because Grandma Mu had been supervising her eating, which was really helpful, or maybe the ten thousand steps a day had an effect. All in all, Yaoniang gave birth very quickly. Faster than she imagined. It was so fast that she felt that it was a complete joke that she was so afraid and worried before.

It was painful during the period, but because the labor was short, it was still within the range that she could bear. So after giving birth, Yao Niang still had the energy to keep her eyes open and watch the midwife bathing, wiping and packing the two children. When the two small candle bags were placed next to her, and looking at the two little red figures inside, she couldn't help but smile.

Someone walked in, walking in a hurry. She looked up and saw Emperor Jin'an walking over with an anxious look on his face.

Yao Niang was inexplicably embarrassed: "Your Majesty, we have given birth to twins."

Emperor Jin'an put his eyes on her face and looked back and forth twice to make sure that she was in good spirits and nothing was wrong, then he focused his eyes on the two little swaddling clothes.

"How ugly."

"Newborn babies are always ugly..."

Just as he was talking, there was another burst of footsteps, and Erbao's voice was the first to speak: "Little brother, little sister, I want to see my little brother and little sister."

After blowing like a whirlwind, he sat beside the couch and looked at the two little people. Xiaobao walked in behind him, saluted and called his father and mother before standing still behind Erbao. He seemed to be calm and controlled, but he couldn't hide the excitement on his face.

"Ah! So ugly!" Erbao sighed.

Xiaobao corrected his younger brother: "You were so ugly when you were born. You will be fine if you grow out."

Erbao didn't believe it. As he grew up, he found more and more that his elder brother liked to lie to him, and he even learned to refute and draw inferences.

"You haven't seen it, how do you know I'm ugly? Mother, did you think I was ugly when I was a child?"

Well, Yao Niang didn't expect that it would affect her. She looked at Emperor Jin'an. Emperor Jin'an clearly didn't intend to participate in the mediation, so she could only say shamelessly: "Mom, I don't remember. It's been a long time. I was born when I was born." It’s very hard for me, I sleep every day.”

Erbao nodded seriously, turned to Xiaobao and said, "You don't even know, mother, how do you know?"

Xiaobao smiled: "Although mom is sleeping, I am not. Just like you come to see the three treasures and the four treasures now, when you were just born, your elder brother also came to see you."

The second child's expression suddenly froze, and he imagined in his mind that he was so ugly when he was just born, and his eldest brother came to see him, but didn't say anything after looking at him, and said that he was ugly, and then he wanted to cry.

However, this boy was stubborn and resisted crying. Instead, he said: "It's not fair to do this. Brother, please let your mother give birth to you again. This time I will come to see you."

This sentence caused the remaining three people to be stunned, and then Yao Niang burst into laughter.

This laughter also made Sanbao and Sibao cry.

Hongsi and others rushed up, took the third and fourth treasures away, and then took Xiaobao and the second treasure down, telling them not to disturb Yao Niang's rest.

Here, Red Silk brought a bowl of fragrant chicken noodle soup, and Yao Niang was eating it.

While she was eating noodles, she said to Emperor Jin'an who was watching her eating noodles: "Your Majesty, Xiaobao has given rǔ names to the children again. I originally planned to give the two little ones two nice rǔ names."

Emperor Jin'an also remembered that just now Xiaobao called the two little ones three treasures and four treasures.

"It's okay to be a boy. My fourth child is a girl. Is it really okay to call her that way?" Yao Niang was very worried.

What could Emperor Jin'an say? He could only say: "Xiao Bao is already called Xiao Bao, so let's call him that." So it's better for Yao Niang to be a mother who didn't get up in the first place. We really can't blame Xiao Bao for not being able to name him. .

Yao Niang remained silent and took two more mouthfuls of noodles: "Your Majesty, I realize that I am so stupid." Even though there was nothing wrong, she still frightened herself like that.

"You just know?"

Chapter 214

The queen gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. This was a happy event that was rare in the royal family for a hundred years.

The news was released in Qianjiu Palace, and everyone in the capital knew about it.

The Supreme Emperor was very happy and gave two names to the emperor. This was different from the previous names given to the emperor's grandchildren after they were one year old. The third treasure was given the name Yu, and the fourth treasure was given the title Princess Changle when she was still in her infancy.

From then on, the four children all had names, the youngest one was named Zhao Chen, the second one was named Zhao Ji, the third one was named Zhao Yu, and the fourth one was named Zhao Changle. Because of this naming, Emperor Jin'an was unhappy for a long time. The four children were all given names by the Supreme Emperor, but when it was his turn to be the biological father, none of them fell behind.

Unbeknownst to others, Yaoniang knew that there was a drawer under the dragon desk in Emperor Jin'an's study room, which was filled with rice paper with various names written on it. Unfortunately, none of them were used.

Needless to say, it goes without saying that Yao Niang thought that she would not hold a banquet this full moon. After all, nowadays people pay attention to cherishing blessings for children. Unexpectedly, Emperor Jin'an changed his earlier attitude and decided to hold a banquet to celebrate.

On that day, all the slightly powerful people in the capital came to the palace to congratulate her. Yao Niang only showed her face in the Jiaotai Hall and then returned to Kunning Palace. Unsurprisingly, she still has to stay in confinement for two months this time, so it is naturally not suitable for her to stay outside for a long time, and all the married women can understand this.

Halfway through the banquet, Xiao Jirou and Mrs. Qiao left the banquet, planning to go to Kunning Palace to talk to Yao Niang and take a look at the little prince and princess. There was a lot of talk just now, and they didn't talk to Yao Niang at all, but before they walked out of the gate of Jiaotai Hall, someone followed them from behind.

This person is Princess Yong.

The Princess of Yong was wearing a princess's crown and clothes, with exquisite makeup and fiery red lips. She was as elegant and graceful as ever, as if the incident last year had no effect on her.

Ever since Prince Yong died on the night of the rebellion of the Rebel Prince, the Prince Yong's Mansion disappeared from people's sight overnight.

Logically speaking, in this situation, a prince died inexplicably, whether it was the retired emperor or the new emperor, they should investigate it thoroughly and posthumously confer titles. But the higher-ups acted as if nothing had happened. Prince Yong's funeral was held quietly. Except for a few people who knew about it, many people only knew about it after a long time.

And the Prince Yong's Mansion was also rarely silent. People in the capital who had a little insight knew that the matter was not simple.

The matter of the Rebel Prince involved many things. No one dared to mention it without the higher-ups, so the Prince Yong's Mansion fell silent. This time, entering the palace for a banquet was the first time that people from the Prince Yong's Mansion walked in front of people since the incident.

Many people were surprised, but Princess Yong was not offended at all. When she saw Princess An, Princess Qing and others, she was still smiling, calling her sister-in-law "younger sister-in-law" and "younger sister-in-law" "younger sister-in-law". Even Princess Wu, who was so sharp-tongued, could not say anything unpleasant when facing such a face.

What did she want to do? Xiao Jirou and Qiao were both puzzled.

But they did not let them wonder for too long, and Princess Yong told her the purpose: "Seventh brother's sister-in-law and the wife of the prince are going to visit the queen? It happens that I want to go too, let's go together."

Hearing this, the two looked at each other, and Princess Yong had already walked in front of them, and even turned around to ask why the two did not leave? In this situation, the two could only follow, and went to Kunning Palace together in a somewhat weird atmosphere.

Yao Niang had just taken off her queen's clothes and was half leaning on the big kang to talk to Hongchou and others, when someone came to report that Princess Qing, Princess Yong and the wife of the prince of Zhenguo had arrived. She didn't react at first, and then asked again, and then she was sure that the Princess of Yong and the Princess of Qing came together.

"Why is the Princess of Yong here?" Lian Yuchan was a little surprised.

Yao Niang frowned and thought for a while, and asked someone to invite them in.

After the three were invited in, they naturally had to pay their respects first. Originally, Yao Niang was not a person who cared about etiquette. She would avoid it if she met someone who was particularly close to her, but who asked her to have an untactful person today, so she naturally had to follow the rules.

It was indeed a bit untactful, at least Yao Niang and Xiao Jirou thought so. ,

Unlike outsiders, they knew how the Prince of Yong died and what he did before his death. To put it bluntly, he planned to rebel but failed, but was intercepted and lost his life halfway. In a situation like this, those who know what's good should keep a low profile to avoid arousing suspicion from the superiors. But the Princess of Yong was so good that she took advantage of others' inability to turn against her in person and came to her door herself.

What exactly does she want to do?

Yao Niang sat on the kang, watching the Princess of Yong bowing to her respectfully from below, with mixed feelings.

Perhaps the impression of the first few meetings was too deep, and the Princess of Yong has always been an unattainable figure in Yao Niang's mind. She is bright and generous, and she is very good at dealing with people. From her face, you can see that almost nothing can stump her. The characteristics of the Princess of Yong are exactly what Yao Niang does not have. Although she hates her for some things, she secretly admires her.

The person who once made her look up to him now bows down to her. If the Princess of Yong did not want to bow, she had a thousand ways to skip this matter, but she bowed.

"Get up, and take a seat."

The three of them sat down separately, and the palace maids served tea. For a while, it was a bit awkward, and no one knew what to say. It was still the Princess of Yong who started it first.

"The Queen is so blessed. These twins represent the auspiciousness of dragon and phoenix, which is a great omen. Only a blessed person like the Queen can give birth to such auspiciousness for the royal family."

Yao Niang sneered and said, "Fourth sister-in-law praised me. You really make me ashamed."

"The Queen is so blessed that she deserves such praise from me."

Yao Niang glanced at the face of the Princess of Yong. She had actually been observing her intentionally or unintentionally.

She thought she could not do the Princess of Yong, so she was particularly curious about her reaction. And the Princess of Yong was indeed a capable person. Whether it was her expression or her tone, she gave people the feeling that what she said was sincere and without any falsehood.

Even Yao Niang could not help but be confused by her, but she still kept the last bit of clarity. She had not forgotten that she was deceived out of the house and Xiaobao was stolen, and Xu Yanru took advantage of her childbirth to attack her, as well as the matter of Wang Defang. Behind them were the shadows of this woman in front of her.
