The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

For Changning's health, Bai Zhu suggested that she stay in bed for two full months, but Changning strongly opposed it.

Are you kidding? I can’t even eat a salted duck egg during the confinement period. The oil on my hair is so thick that flies would slip when standing on it. One month is enough, and I want another two?

However, Changning's objection was ineffective and Yinzhen nodded.

He also knew some health preservation principles. Pregnancy is the most difficult for a woman. She uses her own essence and blood to give birth to a fetus, so naturally she will suffer a lot of losses, not to mention twins.

Therefore, Yinzhen strongly requested Changning to complete the full two-month confinement period and strongly forbade her to eat cold food, otherwise the confinement period would be further extended.

Changning felt miserable, but it would be summer in two months, and if she was out of confinement, she could still have an ice bowl or something, so she had to accept it with reluctance to avoid having to spend the rest of her confinement in the middle of summer.

However, Changning really didn't understand. Could Yinzhen really tolerate her not taking a bath for two months? Didn't he think she was smelly and dirty?

Yinzhen said, no. Changning's body not only did not smell, but also had a milky fragrance. During the confinement period, her little face was rosy and pleasing to the eye.

Although she ate more because she was pregnant with two children, she also exercised more, so she maintained a good figure. With the help of Aunt Zhang's exclusive massage recovery technique, the fat on her waist soon disappeared.

But there are still some things that cannot be restored to their original state, such as the breasts that have grown twice as fast and are now extremely full, and the buttocks that are very round and perky, and twist when walking.

Changning was very ashamed of her sexy body. However, Yinzhen liked her very much and never set foot in other people's courtyards in the past two months.

Changning then realized that she had upgraded from a young woman to a mother, and her level of shame increased sharply.

The child is growing day by day. He is only two months old, but he is completely different from when he was just born. The only thing that remains unchanged is his fair and tender skin.

The Third Prince’s face with a round forehead is more like Yinzhen’s, smooth and handsome, except for a shadow at the end of his eye that looks like a blush, just like Changning, very attractive.

The second princess, Hutuli, was cut from the same mold as Changning, with a pair of dimples at the corners of her mouth, and her smile was simply enough to melt people. She was even sweeter than Changning, like a sweet girl.

In order to celebrate her release from confinement, Changning, who was feeling depressed, decided to hold a small banquet at Qingzhiyuan.

She invited all the women in the backyard as well as the Fifth Concubine Shufen, the Thirteenth Concubine Yunchun and the Fourteenth Concubine Wanhe, who were on good terms with her.

On this day, Yi Erha was so happy to see his new brother and sister. He looked at his brother's little face and touched his sister's little hand. He was so busy that he could not handle it.

Honghui was more reserved, but he also looked at her eagerly.

Fu Jin held Hong Hui's hand and said gently, "Want to see your brothers and sisters? Go and see them with your elder sister."

Honghui is three years old this year. He is very thin, but he already looks like a little adult. He nodded slightly and just stood not far away and watched, without going forward to touch.

Changning was finally out of confinement and changed into a scarlet cheongsam embroidered with hibiscus flowers. She looked as gorgeous as a cloud. Her little face, which had become rosy during the confinement period, was now even more radiant and beautiful, making people dare not look directly at her.

At least the princesses and concubines in the backyard didn't dare to look directly at her.

The weather is warm today, the sun is shining brightly, and it is the first time that the concubine has invited them, so they all came to Qingzhiyuan.

I have to say that Qingzhiyuan is now well renovated. There is a large pomegranate tree in the spacious courtyard, and the pomegranate flowers are in full bloom. There are several tables under the tree, and the breeze is cool and interesting.

Yun Chun first praised, "These two children are so well-born. They cried a lot on their third-day bath. There were so many people at the full-moon banquet, but they didn't cry at all. It was really worry-free."

Changning was still in confinement last month, and I heard about the full moon banquet from Zhao Fuhai.

Because it was the first case of twins, a boy and a girl, in the Qing Dynasty, and the emperor gave them a special reward, the celebration was very grand and splendid, no less than the full moon banquet for the eldest son of Prince Zhi.

There was a constant stream of people coming to give gifts.

The person who gave the gift knew everything clearly in his mind. The emperor specially summoned the fourth prince to bring his children into the palace. It was said that he even held the two children in his arms and loved them very much. He also rewarded them generously according to the precedent for princes and sons.

what does this mean?

This is important!

How could they not curry favor with the people the emperor values?

That’s definitely not possible!

What's more, who wouldn't be jealous of twins? Even if you don't have the status to hold them, just looking at them from afar can still bring you a lot of blessings!

But there are also people who can hold children.

When the wet nurse brought the child over, the banquet became lively. A group of princes rushed to hold the child, and Fourteenth Prince was the most enthusiastic among them.

The eighth prince was the most envious and held her in his arms the longest.

The eldest prince said something negative but acted righteously. He said it was no big deal and his posture of holding the child was more professional than Yinzhen's.

Not long after, the emperor's edict came down.

Kangxi directly gave names to the two children. This was a unique honor. The names of the emperor's grandchildren were usually awarded in batches, and they were named together after a lot of them were accumulated.

Li Dequan said a lot, and finally mentioned the names of the two children.

Feng Sheng'e was named Hongyan, and Hutuli was also named Jiayuan.

Yan means clear and sunny. There is also a saying that the sky is clear and the sun is late, and the sea and river are Yan and clear.

It seems that the emperor has high expectations for Hongyan!

But when Changning heard it, what? Hongyan? She was holding Zhen Huan's script? Could the princess be called Lingxi?

Later I found out that it was Ri'an and Hutuli was Jiayuan, and I felt relieved.

However, this name also attracted some attention. For example, Geng Gege followed up on Yun Chun's words and said secretly, "These are auspicious twins, a boy and a girl. The names are not ordinary, so they must be extraordinary!"

Chang Ning rolled her eyes at her. She was always the one to stir up trouble. She said impatiently, "You are of royal blood, the son of a phoenix and the grandson of a dragon. Of course you are extraordinary. Geng Gege talks about auspicious signs every day, but why don't you kneel down and kowtow?"

Everyone present had seen many open and covert fights among women.

To be honest, Fifth Lady Shufen felt that the Fourth Prince's Mansion was a rare place of peace and quiet.

Wanhe wanted to change the subject, so she talked about Changning's family and asked, "I heard that the eldest sister-in-law in Xiao Si's family also gave birth?"

At this point, Changning was happy again. "That's right. She gave birth last month. It's a son. I even gave her this golden longevity lock. Mother was also very happy."

When Madam Fucha was mentioned, the expressions on everyone's faces became much more relaxed.

Yi Erha, who was playing with his younger siblings, walked over with small steps, smiled and asked, "Fucha E'niang, when will the Madam come? Yi Erha misses her so much."

Honghui also looked at Changning expectantly, obviously wanting to know too.
