Legend of Zhen Huan: Zhen Huan is reborn

186 'Twins' Sisters

-

As time slowly passed, the weather became warmer.

On this day, Zhen Huan and Concubine Jing Feng Ruozhao joined hands and led Longyue, Xiyou and others for a leisurely stroll in the Imperial Garden, enjoying the warm spring sun and the fragrance of flowers.

Suddenly, I saw Prince Guo Yunli and Yuchan walking side by side in the distance. Their figures seemed particularly harmonious in the spring light, as if they were surrounded by a warm and tender atmosphere, filled with indescribable sweetness.

Zhen Huan's gaze fell gently on them, and she sighed in her heart. She saw that there was a soft light flashing in Prince Guo's eyes when he looked at Yuchan. It was a loving gaze, full of endless tenderness and pampering.

And the way he supported Yuchan was even more meticulous, every step seemed so cautious and caring, the emotional exchange between the two, without the need for words, was already full of affection and warmth.

"My humble servant greets the Imperial Concubine Xi and the Imperial Concubine Jing. I hope you two are doing well." Yunli bowed respectfully.

Feng Ruozhao responded politely: "Your Highness is too polite. It's been a long time since we last met. Lady Yu seems to be more plump and in better shape."

"My concubine greets Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine." Yuchan also bowed and saluted.

Feng Ruozhao chuckled and said, "You are pregnant now, so you don't need to go through all these formalities."

Yuchan walked to Zhen Huan's side and said softly, "Greetings to my elder sister. I came here uninvited today. I hope my elder sister will not be offended."

Zhen Huan smiled with a hint of surprise: "Why did you suddenly come to the palace? You didn't even tell me in advance, so I didn't have time to prepare properly."

Yuchan explained, "Originally, the Emperor summoned the prince and said he had something important to discuss. The prince insisted on taking me with him, so we went to the palace together. We didn't have time to inform my elder sister."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but look at Yunli, the happiness in her eyes difficult to conceal.

Yunli gave her a doting smile, and then said to Zhen Huan: "Since I have met Concubine Xi here by chance, I will temporarily entrust Yuchan to the care of Concubine Xi. I will be back soon."

Yuchan heard this and smiled like a flower: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will be safe with my elder sister and Concubine Jing here."

Yunli looked at her affectionately and said, "Then I will go first."

Seeing this, Feng Ruozhao couldn't help but joked, "Prince Guo's appearance is really enviable. The couple has only been apart for a moment, but they are already inseparable."

Yun Li blushed when he heard this, and said modestly: "Your Highness, your words are too polite. I will take my leave first."

After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the Yangxin Palace with firm steps.

"Look at the happy smile on your face. You can't hide it at all. The way you two are so affectionate makes even me envious." Feng Ruozhao chuckled.

"Your Highness, your words are too polite. I just happened to be born at the right time and had some luck." Yuchan responded modestly.

"I noticed that your steps seemed to be more steady and your belly has grown a lot. Do you find it difficult to walk like this?" Zhen Huan asked with concern.

"Why do you say that, elder sister? The little life in your belly is much more lively than mine. The last time I saw you, you were plumper than you are now, but now you have lost a lot of weight. It must be because you have been overworked. You should pay more attention to rest." Yuchan comforted her in return.

"She always does everything herself. When the Queen is unwell from time to time, many affairs of the harem naturally fall on our shoulders. In addition, Concubine Hui is about to give birth, and the affairs are even more complicated. She is so busy that she has no time to rest for a moment." Feng Ruozhao explained on the side.

"It is thanks to Concubine Jing's great help that my elder sister has been able to lighten her burden a little. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do." Yuchan said gratefully.

"Speaking of which, Xiyou is gradually growing up, and I can spare some time and energy to help her more." Feng Ruozhao's words revealed a hint of relief.

At this moment, Longyue jumped closer and asked in a childish voice, "Mother, is there a little brother hidden in my aunt's belly?"

As soon as these words came out, the three people around couldn't help but smile. Zhen Huan asked in a gentle voice: "Why are you so sure that Longyue is a brother and not a sister?"

"I just think he's my younger brother." Longyue insisted on her opinion, with anticipation flashing in her eyes.

Seeing this, Yuchan gently teased, "You are about to become a big sister. Are you filled with joy?"

"Of course I'm happy!" Long Yue smiled and added, "Mom's belly is also pregnant with a little brother and a little sister."

Xiyou was attracted by the warm atmosphere, and hurried over. She looked up and asked Feng Ruozhao curiously, "Mother, how did Sister Longyue know? Why can't I feel anything?"

Feng Ruozhao smiled lightly and said jokingly: "Perhaps, your sister Longyue has a special ability."

That night, as the night deepened, bursts of uneasy noises were heard simultaneously in the Yanx Palace and the Chengqian Palace. The two ladies, An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang, began their important moments almost at the same time. This sudden change made Wen Shichu look a little flustered and nervous.

Zhen Huan didn't learn about this series of news until the second half of the night, and she couldn't help feeling a little worried and concerned.

(Yongshou Palace)

"I'm really in a dilemma right now. I want to go to both sides, but I don't know which one to take care of first. It's really a headache." Zhen Huan sighed.

"Please be at ease, Your Majesty. Imperial Physician Wen is guarding Empress Hui right now, while Imperial Physician Wei Lin and Imperial Physician Xu are taking care of Empress Rou. They are all highly skilled doctors and will ensure that everything is safe." Jin Xi comforted.

"But having said that, I am well aware that Doctor Xu is related to the Queen, and I always feel uneasy. Jinxi, let's go to the Yanx Palace first. Sister Mei has Doctor Wen there, so I think it should be safe." Zhen Huan hesitated for a moment and made a decision.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will arrange everything right away to make sure we get to the Yanxi Palace as soon as possible." Jinxi replied and turned around to prepare for the trip.

(Chengqian Palace)

"My queen, please try harder, use more force!" Caiyue and the experienced midwife beside her encouraged anxiously.

However, Shen Meizhuang had almost exhausted all her strength, and felt an indescribable feeling of fatigue surging over her like a tide, making her almost exhausted.

At this moment, Wen Shichu's steady and firm voice came from behind the screen: "Miss Caiyue, quickly present this bowl of carefully prepared ginseng soup to Concubine Hui to help her recover her strength and have a smooth delivery."

Upon hearing this, Caiyue immediately took the bowl of steaming ginseng soup, hurried through the screen, and came to Shen Meizhuang again.

She carefully helped Shen Meizhuang up and fed her the ginseng soup mouthful by mouthful.

As the ginseng soup went down her throat drop by drop, Shen Meizhuang's complexion gradually regained some color, and a light of persistence flashed in her tired eyes again, as if new strength was surging in her body, storing up power for the upcoming delivery.

-

In comparison, the atmosphere in the Yanxi Palace seemed more peaceful, with only the occasional low moans from An Lingrong and the occasional comforting sounds from the midwife, interweaving together to form a prelude to life.

When Zhen Huan hurriedly arrived, it was already three quarters past three in the morning and the sky was slightly bright, indicating that a new day was about to begin.

Yinzhen, as the king of a country, was concerned about the harem, but he was busy with heavy government affairs at the time and could not visit in person.

Despite this, he was undoubtedly concerned about what was happening in the Yanxi Palace, but he had no choice but to keep his concern deep in his heart.

Zhen Huan's arrival undoubtedly brought a touch of warmth to this slightly cold atmosphere. She asked about the situation softly, her eyes full of concern and expectation for An Lingrong.

(Yanxi Palace)

Body Yuan Hall.

"What's the situation?" Zhen Huan walked into the inner room and asked with concern.

Doctor Xu bowed and replied quickly, "Reporting to the Imperial Concubine, the Imperial Concubine Rou is in very good condition and is going all out to give birth. Doctor Wei is a superb doctor, so my humble presence here seems a bit redundant."

Zhen Huan heard this and smiled slightly, saying gently: "Doctor Xu is wrong. You are a senior doctor in the palace. With you here, I can feel more at ease. Your experience and wisdom will undoubtedly be a great help to Concubine Rou."

After saying this, Zhen Huan gently gestured to Jin Xi who was standing beside her.

Jin Xi understood what he meant and took a step forward. In her hand, she had a heavy bag of silver. She handed it to Doctor Xu respectfully and said, "Please continue to take care of it and make sure that Concubine Rou and her child are safe."

Doctor Xu took the silver. Although he knew it was a heavy sum, he still kept a humble smile on his face: "Your Highness, you are too polite. As a doctor, I will do my best to live up to your trust."

Zhen Huan nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered: "Jingxi, pass on my order. As long as Concubine Rou gives birth smoothly, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, I will give a generous reward to commend the contributions of all those who participated in the delivery."

"Yes, I obey your command." Jin Xi responded and retreated.

-

Finally, at the auspicious moment of 4:04 am, two clear and melodious cries, like the sounds of nature, penetrated the tranquility of the morning light and announced the arrival of new life.

The sun is high in the sky, and the golden sunlight is shining all over the earth, as if crowning the joy of the new life, heralding the beginning of a new day and new hope.

Ningxiang was in the Yanxi Palace, with a happy smile on her face, and she shouted excitedly: "It's born! It's born!"

Almost at the same time, Caiyue's equally joyful cheers came from Chengqian Palace: "It's born! It's born!"

These two shouts, like the tacit understanding of twins, convey the miracle of life to everyone.

Wei Lin walked out of the inner room with a gentle and relieved smile on his face, and reported to Zhen Huan: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou successfully gave birth to a little princess, and both mother and daughter are safe."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yunzi came running from Chengqian Palace, panting, his face also full of joy and excitement: "Your Majesty, Concubine Hui also gave birth to a little princess, it's really a double happiness!"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth in a gentle arc, and her eyes were shining with the radiance of motherhood and endless joy.

She smiled softly and said, "Great! They both gave birth to princesses on the same day. Isn't this the result of fate in their previous lives? Let them be a pair of twin sisters and grow up together."

-

Just as Zhen Huan was immersed in the joy of the birth of two little princesses, Yinzhen also finished his morning court and returned to the harem.

He was concerned about the two concubines who were about to become mothers, especially when he learned that they had given birth to little princesses at the same time, he could not hide his excitement and joy.

Considering that the distance between Qianqing Palace and Chengqian Palace is relatively close, Yinzhen decided to go to Chengqian Palace first to visit Shen Meizhuang and her newborn daughter.

He walked briskly through the corridors between the palaces, his heart filled with concern and love for Shen Meizhuang.

As he stepped into Chengqian Palace, Yinzhen immediately saw Shen Meizhuang lying on the bed, her face was pale, but her eyes were shining with maternal light.

The little princess at the side was carefully wrapped in a soft swaddling cloth, sleeping quietly, her little face filled with the purity and beauty of a newborn.

Yinzhen walked slowly closer, softly asked about Shen Meizhuang's physical condition, and gently stroked the little princess's face, his eyes full of love and tenderness.

He knew very well how much hardship and effort Shen Meizhuang had put in for the birth of this child, and he felt even more love and respect for her in his heart.

After staying in Chengqian Palace for a while, Yinzhen turned around and went to Yanxi Palace to visit An Lingrong and her newborn little princess.

He knew very well that as an emperor, he needed to give the same care and attention to every concubine and their children. This was his responsibility and his wish.

-

Because the two little princesses were born almost at the same time, it is indeed difficult to tell the order of elder and younger. This coincidence adds a bit of destiny to their relationship.

Seeing this, An Lingrong felt a warm current in her heart. She suggested, "Since we can't tell the difference, why not let Sister Mei's child be the older one and my child be the younger one? This way, they can support each other and grow together in the palace."

Shen Meizhuang was deeply moved when she heard this. She smiled and nodded in agreement: "That's great. I hope my Jinghe can be as peaceful and beautiful as her name, stable and harmonious, and set a good example for my sister."

Jinghe, this name contains Shen Meizhuang's deep expectations and blessings for the child. May she be as peaceful as a quiet lake, and as warm as the gentle spring breeze.

An Lingrong named her child Wen Ti, a name that is also full of warmth and love.

The word "wen" represents warmth; the word "ti" gives people a soft and beautiful feeling, as if the child itself is a touch of warm color, adding a bit of warmth to the world.

Two names, two little princesses, like two lotus flowers blooming in the palace. Their future will surely be as beautiful and hopeful as their names.
