Xi Qiu's joyful voice came from her ears, bringing her back to her scattered thoughts.

"Princess, Lord Ruan, oh no, my uncle said he went to entertain the guests and asked someone to send you some food."

Yuan Qianqian felt warm in her heart, but also very hungry. She got up very early this morning to get dressed and hadn't eaten anything.

After Xi Qiu closed the door, she lifted the veil and ate something, then covered her face again and sat on the bed.

Shang Yue and Nan Yan showed up at the Marquis' Mansion with their two children, but they went back because they were afraid that Nan Yan would be bumped into by the crowd. However, the two children wanted to join in the fun, so they left them to Nan Hui and Ruan Yurou.

Before leaving, Nan Yan told the two children, "Yu'er Zhizhi, there are a lot of people here today, don't run around, okay?"

Little Lezhi nodded and agreed, "Yes, mother, we will listen to grandparents."

Even though the little girl is very well behaved now, she is the most mischievous and the one that Nan Yan is most worried about.

"Yu'er, there are a lot of people here today, so you must keep an eye on your sister."

"Yes, mother, I will."

"good."

Nan Yan touched the heads of the two little guys, then got up and left.

The two children had so much fun playing with their cousins ​​that they fell asleep in the carriage on the way back. They were carried back to the palace by the palace servants.

After Ruan Ning'an and Yuan Qianqian's wedding, Nan Yan's life returned to normal, and she took care of her baby with many people around her every day.

Shang Yue gradually became busy.

The situation in various countries was somewhat unclear because of the new crops grown by Da Shang. Every day he received several secret letters from spies from various countries, and there were also unknown secret letters flying from the capital to various countries.

He has been resting in the Yangxin Palace for several days in a row because he has been busy too late.

Nan Yan couldn't help much and could only order people to deliver some nutritious medicinal food to him on time every day.

This busyness lasted until New Year's Eve.

This year's New Year's Eve banquet was still hosted by Nan Yan because the Empress Dowager felt sorry for her.

At this time, Nan Yan's six-month-old belly was already very big because she was pregnant with twins, as if she was eight months pregnant.

She showed up at the banquet and then returned to the palace.

When Shang Yue came back, Nan Yan was already fast asleep.

"See..."

He waved his hand, signaling the maid to be quiet.

He took a look at the person sleeping soundly on the bed, went to the side hall to take a bath, sat in the hall for a while, and went to bed only after his body was warm.

Winter goes and spring comes, and in March, it is the time of year for sowing.

After the potatoes were harvested last year, Shang Yue sent people to transport them to various states, and the governors of each state distributed them to the county, and then the town...

Now the county magistrates of each town sent yamen runners and people from charity halls to transport potato seeds to various villages.

When the villagers heard last year that potatoes were easy to grow, had high yields and were delicious, they were still wondering when they could plant potatoes! Unexpectedly, the court sent them potato seeds.

But it was not given away for free. After the first batch of potatoes matured, a 20% tax was collected and the potato seeds had to be returned.

"Why do we have to return the seeds? I thought they were given to me for free!"

"I thought it was free. If the yield is not as good as rumored, it will be troublesome if we don't even have potatoes to return the seeds."

"Yeah! What if the seeds don't grow?"

"..."

The smiles on the faces of the villagers, who were originally happy, suddenly disappeared when they heard the news that the seeds had to be returned.

They gathered together and whispered to each other, with all kinds of worries in their hearts, and many people began to think about retreating.

The officers and soldiers who followed him saw it and shouted, "Everyone, be calm and listen to me."

When the restless crowd quieted down, he cleared his throat and said, "Don't worry, if the potatoes you plant don't grow by then, we won't take the seeds back."

Many people felt relieved when they heard this.

Some people also whispered to each other that they didn't want to plant.

However, whether to plant potatoes is based on the principle of voluntariness. Those who want to plant can register how many seeds they want, and those who don't want to plant can just watch from the sidelines.

Potatoes have a high yield, so in order to prevent people from planting potatoes on all their land just to increase the yield, a law was specially enacted prohibiting the planting of potatoes on good fields.

Otherwise, by that time, all the crops will be planted with potatoes, and there will be a shortage of rice and flour.

All in all, the ratio of people who grow potatoes to those who don’t is half and half.

Shang Yue and Nan Yan were not worried. After all, when the villagers harvested potatoes in the fall, those who had not planted potatoes would know whether they should plant them or not.

The busy spring planting is gradually coming to an end.

On April 20th, a bright morning, the southern smoke rose.

Half an hour later, a pair of fraternal twins were born.

By the time Shang Yue finished his morning court session and discussed matters with Nan Hui, his pair of sons had already been born.

When Shang Yue heard the announcement, he stood up and looked at the eunuch who came to report with a nervous look on his face, "What, the queen has given birth! Is the queen okay?"

Nan Hui, who was sitting on a chair, was also staring closely at the person at the entrance of the hall.

"Your Majesty, mother and child are safe."

"That's good."

The two men breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

Shang Yue took a few steps with big strides, and when he was about to step out of the imperial study, he suddenly retracted his steps and looked back.

"Prime Minister, you should come with me!"

Nan Hui's eyes suddenly showed a smile, "It's the Emperor."

Nan Hui followed Shang Yue to Changle Palace. He could not enter the Queen's bedroom and could not see his daughter, but he saw his two little grandchildren. Although he had not opened his eyes yet, his crying sounded very strong.

After seeing his grandson, he hurried out of the palace, ready to tell his wife the good news. He also packed up the things for his daughter and two grandsons and sent them to the palace the next day.

Shang Yue sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the pale-faced woman. He leaned over and gently touched her forehead. There was cherishment and heartache in his eyes, but more importantly, there was love that could not be concealed.

The two little guys were sleeping in the small bed beside the bed. They looked just like Le Yu and Le Zhi when they were just born, red and with wrinkled skin, like monkeys.

This is his Yan'er's child, the child Yan'er gave birth to for him. He thinks it is very cute and can't get enough of looking at it.

After school, Shang Leyu and Shang Lezhi heard that their mother had given birth, so they hurried to Changle Palace. When they heard that their mother was resting, they tiptoed in with light steps.

Shang Yue looked up when he heard the footsteps and saw the two little guys hunched over like thieves. When he looked over, Le Zhi smiled.

A smile flashed across Shang Yue's eyes. He waved his hand and the two little guys came to his side.

Seeing Nan Yan sleeping on the bed, whose face was no longer as rosy as before, Le Yu was a little worried and asked in a low voice: "Father, is Mother okay?"

"It's okay, your mother was just too tired and fell asleep. Just wait for her to wake up and eat something."

Upon hearing that their mother was fine, the two little guys turned their attention to the small bed beside them.

"Father, are these my brothers?"

"Ah."

They lay beside the crib and looked at their two younger brothers. Although they looked very ugly now, they knew that they would grow up to be handsome in the future.

Just like my aunt's younger brother.
