Cough!
At the palace banquet, Prince Yanping, Tang Ze, Lu Cheng and others were so envious and jealous that they went crazy when they heard the news.
For others, having two children in three years was already very impressive, but for Prince Ling and Princess Ling, they had three children in less than three years.
A twin of a dragon and a phoenix.
One must have accumulated a lot of blessings in the previous life to be able to give birth to twins, a boy and a girl, in this life.
They are of the same age as Xie Jingyan and got married only a few months later than him. As a result, his father has three children, both a boy and a girl, while they only have one and have not even had the chance to take a proper look at her.
You can’t catch up with him even if you kill yourself.
The Prince of Yanping and Tang Ze comforted themselves that Xie Jingyan was so blessed because he had suffered for many years. After all, his mother was plotted against and died tragically in the cold palace, and he himself was demoted to guard the imperial mausoleum and was confined to a wheelchair for more than two years. They did not suffer so much. Xie Jingyan was a proper prince, but he had to endure so much hardship for no reason. God should compensate him.
Not envious.
Nothing to envy.
But why does this wine taste so sour?
Du Cheng'an sat aside, not envious at all. He was not even as envious as the Prince of Yanping and Tang Ze, let alone Prince Ling. Among them, he was the only one who had no child. Cheng Yi's child was already in her belly, but there was no sign of his child at all.
The emperor was even happier.
Twins, a boy and a girl, are rare, and royal twins are even better. What's more, they were born on the day Xie Jingyan returned triumphantly to Beijing, which was even more auspicious.
Civil and military officials congratulated the emperor again and again, and the emperor was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
Back at Prince Ling's Mansion, the midwife and the maid cleaned up the delivery room, and Xie Jingyan came in. Shen Wan was lying on the bed. Xie Jingyan had already changed out of his battle robe and was now wearing a dark brocade robe, which made his face look even more handsome.
He sat down beside the bed, rubbed Shen Wan's cheek with his fingertips, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Shen Wan burst into tears at this sentence.
It's not hard work.
The hardship of carrying this baby was more than twice as hard as carrying Jin'er. In the later stages, her belly felt so heavy that it was difficult to turn over. Her hips hurt so much that it was painful to walk. More importantly, when she gave birth to Jin'er, Xie Jingyan was with her from beginning to end, but he didn't accompany her for a single day during this pregnancy.
But thinking that she did not have morning sickness, and that Xie Jingyan vomited when he went to the border to fight, and was treated for many days as having water and soil incompatibility, and that they were twins, Shen Wan felt that all the suffering she had endured was worth it.
But she has to say, "I won't have any more children in the next few years."
Xie Jingyan said, "I'll listen to you. If you don't want to have a baby, you can choose not to have one in the future."
Shen Wan has given birth to two sons and a daughter for him, so what is there to be dissatisfied about?
Xie Jingyan asked Shen Wan, "Are you tired? Do you want to take a nap?"
Shen Wan remembered that today was the day when the palace was celebrating Xie Jingyan and his team's success, so she said, "Hurry up and go to the celebration banquet."
Xie Jingyan said, "The celebration banquet is over. It is more important to accompany you."
Shen Wan was pregnant for such a long time, but he didn't accompany her for a single day. He only attended the celebration banquet, which he had attended many times in the military camp. How could attending the celebration banquet be as important as accompanying Shen Wan and the child?
The emperor will not blame him, and neither will the civil and military officials.
Shen Wan didn't expect the celebration party to end so quickly. She thought it took her less than half an hour to give birth. Even though her waist was so sore in the later stages, she insisted on walking more every day, and all those steps were not in vain.
After the Qingyang Banquet, Shen Jing did not return to the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion, but went directly to the Ling Prince's Mansion to see Shen Wan and his three little grandchildren. Shen Du and Princess Huaian also came with him.
Shen Du didn't know about Princess Huai'an's difficult labor and hemorrhage when he was at the border. No one told him, but he found out when he returned to Beijing. He felt sorry for Princess Huai'an who had suffered a lot, but he was also glad that he had a good sister. He was grateful to Doctor Tao for his superb medical skills and for saving the lives of Princess Huai'an and her child.
As soon as Shen Jing entered Moyuxuan, he saw Tanghulu walking unsteadily. Shen Jing's heart softened and he was overjoyed.
"I was wondering why the emperor disliked me. It turns out that I look more like my grandfather," Shen Jing was in a very good mood.
Tanghulu is not shy about strangers.
Shen Jing reached out and picked him up, and Tanghulu just stared at him. The little guy was not afraid of people at all.
The maid reported to Shen Jing that they had arrived, and Xie Jingyan came out to greet them.
Shen Jing and the others went into the house to see Shen Wan, who called out, "Father."
He called out to Shen Du again, "Brother."
Shen Du said gratefully, "Big brother only realized today that you saved Huai'an and Chong'er. How can I thank you?"
Shen Wan chuckled, "Big brother, it's too polite for you to say thank you to me, but Doctor Tao is a great benefactor of our Pingyang Marquis Mansion, big brother should thank him very much."
Shen Wan has thanked Doctor Tao, Prince An's Mansion has also thanked him, and Princess Huai'an also thanked Doctor Tao after she was discharged from confinement. But Shen Wan feels that it is not enough. Doctor Tao saved the lives of Princess Huai'an and the baby in her belly, so he deserves all the thanks.
Shen Du nodded, "Brother knows."
Shen Jing missed his little grandson so much that he wanted to come and take a look, but he didn't even know what his own grandson looked like.
Without staying long, Shen Jing left after saying a few words, without letting Xie Jingyan see them off.
That same day, rewards were delivered to Prince Ling's mansion in large quantities.
Gold, silver, jewelry, silks and satins, fertile fields and shops, porcelain and jade, the emperor gave away everything he could think of.
People from the palace came to Prince Ling's mansion one after another.
There were also gifts sent by civil and military officials, and people came to visit Shen Wan one after another.
I received so many gifts that the warehouse couldn't hold them all.
The third day bath is celebrated with great joy and excitement.
The names of the two children were also given by the emperor.
My son’s name is Xie Yuheng.
My daughter's name is Xie Yuhuan.
The nickname was given by a certain gentleman.
My son’s name is Sweet Potato.
There was no other reason. During the period when a certain guy was suffering from morning sickness at the border, he vomited everything he ate. He could only eat a few bites of sweet potatoes and some nuts without vomiting.
The son is named Sweet Potato, and the daughter's nickname is naturally Happy Nut.
When the emperor learned about the nicknames his son had given to his two grandsons and granddaughter, he felt more and more that his decision to give their grandsons and granddaughters full names was wise. Which royal child would nickname their children "Tanghulu Sweet Potato"? "Pistachio" would be acceptable, but he should be thankful that they were not named "Walnut".
It would be fine if the nickname was just okay, but he was also so perfunctory with his full name. It would be recorded in history books in the future, and future generations would laugh at him for not knowing how to name his son. It would be fine if his son was laughed at, but he was also afraid that people would misunderstand that it was the name given by his great-grandfather, and he couldn't afford to lose face.
Xie Jingyan endured the fact that Tanghulu's name was taken away. After all, he was the eldest grandson of the emperor and had a special status. It was fine for the emperor to give him the name, but it was too much that he was not allowed to give his second son a name. But before he could think it through, the emperor's decree to give him a name arrived.
It is not possible to refuse the order.
A certain gentleman is very angry.
If Shen Wan hadn't said the name sounded nice, he would have gone to the palace to protest to the emperor.
