News traveled quickly in the palace. Not long after the Emperor sent people, Empress Dowager Yang and Empress Yang's people also arrived.
When the old mama beside Empress Dowager Yang came in, she heard the Emperor's important eunuch shout excitedly, "The twins are a good omen. They have landed in the Eastern Palace of the Imperial Family. It is the Heavens' blessing for our dynasty and our country will prosper for eternity!"
The other people seemed to be awakened by the eunuch's shout and congratulated Li Seung-kyung joyfully. "Congratulations, Crown Prince. The Heavens have blessed our dynasty!"
Empress Dowager Yang and Empress Yang's people looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes. The Crown Princess actually gave birth to fraternal twins? Twins were very rare. The Crown Princess was lucky enough to have a boy in her first pregnancy. How could it be so coincidental that she gave birth to twins?
What kind of luck was this? Her life was too good.
At this moment, the entire palace was filled with congratulations. The two mamas stood there awkwardly. They could only scrunch up their faces and force a smile as they congratulated the Crown Prince with everyone else.
Li Seung-kyung's nerves suddenly relaxed. He couldn't believe it. He stood in place for a while and felt his mind clear. Only then did he calmly and without losing the dignity of the Crown Prince, he had everyone rise.
Although his expression was graceful and proper, when he opened his mouth, his mood was exposed. "Today is the birthday of the junzhu and junwang. Those who come to congratulate the young junzhu and young wang will all be rewarded."
When everyone heard this, the Crown Prince was going to spread the wealth. As long as everyone who came to congratulate was rewarded, then it wasn't limited to Ciqing Palace. Everyone in the inner palace had a chance.
Everyone became happier. The sounds of congratulations and blessings were endless. Dugeaux was also happy to see this scene and couldn't help but cry. She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said happily, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, the two little masters are inside. Do you want to carry the two little masters out to see?"
"Carry them out for what?" Li Seung-kyung lifted the corner of his robe and walked quickly to the delivery room. "It's still snowing outside. Leave it inside. I'll come in and take a look."
The people in the delivery room were cleaning up the bloodstains and packing up all kinds of equipment. When they turned their heads and saw the crown prince pushing the door open and entering, they were all shocked. "Your Highness, the delivery room is not auspicious. There will be a bloody disaster!"
"As the Crown Prince, if I have misgivings about such nonsense, how can I help govern the world?" Li Seung-kyung didn't take the fact that the delivery room was inauspicious to heart. He said, "The Crown Princess is still inside. If I hear such words again, I will investigate the person who spread them."
Everyone was frightened. They hurriedly knelt down and answered, "Yes."
Li Seung-kyung ignored the crowd, bypassed the palace maids and mamas kneeling on the ground, and strode inside.
"How is the Crown Princess?"
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. The Crown Princess is still cleaning up the bloodstains and changing the bloodstained bedding. Please wait here for a moment."
Li Seung-kyung felt dizzy when he heard the word "blood." He suppressed his anxiety and asked, "How is she? Is she alright now? "
"The Crown Princess and the two little masters and children are safe. The Crown Princess is fine. She is just very tired and not in good spirits right now."
Li Seung-kyung immediately waved his hand and ordered, "Immediately go to the kitchen and prepare tonic soup. Take my token and get whatever you need from the storehouse."
The Dugeaux followed in from outside and smiled. "Thank you, Your Highness. This servant has already prepared the tonic. When the Crown Princess is done cleaning up, this servant will bring it in. "
At this time, Lian Qiao and a midwife came in with two swaddling clothes. The midwife held the red swaddling clothes and smiled so widely that the wrinkles on her face were squeezed out. "This servant is blessed. Not only did I have the fortune to deliver the Crown Princess, but I also have the chance to hold twins of a boy and a girl. This is a great blessing for the future generations ah! " After the midwife finished speaking, she looked in Li Seung-kyung's direction and loosened the swaddling clothes. "Your Highness, do you want to see the little masters? The young royal prince is the older brother and is very steady. "
"Yes." Li Seung-kyung glanced at them and said, "Very good." At this time, the palace maids in the inner room came out. They pulled up the curtains on both sides, revealing the floor inside. The Crown Princess naturally couldn't be seen by outsiders when she was giving birth.
Li Seung-kyung didn't say anything and immediately walked inside.
Lian Qiao and the midwife both choked. The crown prince's glance was so fast and he didn't look back. They couldn't help but wonder if the crown prince had really seen the faces of the two little masters.
Cheng Yujin had a difficult time giving birth. Fortunately, twins were smaller than normal children. She suffered before giving birth, but once the head came out, the rest was natural and the bleeding stopped quickly. The bedding on Cheng Yujin's body was completely changed by the palace maids. The bloodstains on her body were also cleaned by the maidservants with warm water. It could be said that she was much more comfortable.
She had stayed up all night and was really tired. Her voice was so hoarse that she couldn't make a sound. Just as the room was cleaned up, Cheng Yujin saw a figure striding towards her. He lifted the bed curtains and startled the palace maids on both sides. Li Seung-kyung didn't have the mind to care about other people. When he saw Cheng Yujin's pale face, his heart ached.
He sat by the bed and gently held Cheng Yujin's hand. "It's been hard on you. How do you feel? Does it still hurt? "
In fact, it still hurt a little, but Cheng Yujin smiled and shook her head. "It's much better. I'm fine now. Oh right, where are the children? "
Li Seung-kyung finally remembered that he seemed to have seen their children just now. Li Seung-kyung tucked Cheng Yujin in and said, "They are very healthy and strong. They also look good, just like you."
"Really?" Cheng Yujin also became alert when she heard this. She was exhausted when she gave birth and there were many people around her. She hadn't carefully looked at her children. Cheng Yujin wanted to get up, but Li Seung-kyung quickly held her down. "Tell me what you want. Don't move on your own."
Cheng Yujin nodded and said anxiously, "I want to see the children."
"Okay." The servant girls outside were already standing at the door with the children. Li Seung-kyung turned around and said, "Bring the young royal prince and the young royal princess here."
Lian Qiao and the midwife came forward one after another. Li Seung-kyung took one and carefully placed it next to Cheng Yujin. Then, he turned around and picked up the other one.
Because Li Seung-kyung said that the two children were healthy and good-looking, Cheng Yujin had high expectations for them. However, when she saw the wrinkled baby in the swaddling clothes, Cheng Yujin opened her eyes in surprise and then looked at Li Seung-kyung in horror.
They were strong and good-looking? They even looked like her?
Was this Li Seung-kyung's definition of good-looking?
Li Seung-kyung also fell silent when he saw the red and wrinkled face in the swaddling clothes. He didn't notice it earlier and relied on his imagination to describe to Cheng Yujin. It seemed that there was a big difference.
Li Seung-kyung only paused for a moment and then calmly tried to smooth things over. "They are our biological children. Whether they look like you or me, they won't be ugly. They will be good-looking sooner or later. "
Cheng Yujin held back in the end in front of her biological child. She nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness is very observant."
This person didn't even look at them earlier. It was lucky that he could keep a straight face and think about it seriously and describe it to her.
Li Seung-kyung was very adaptable and didn't feel embarrassed at all. He and Cheng Yujin looked at the children for a while. From the corner of his eye, he saw the Dugeaux come in with the medicine. He asked the wet nurse to take the two children away and personally fed Cheng Yujin the medicine. Then, he forced Cheng Yujin to sleep.
Cheng Yujin was indeed tired. After drinking the warm medicine, she fell asleep in a short while. After Cheng Yujin fell asleep, Li Seung-kyung brushed away the wet hair beside Cheng Yujin's ear and gently kissed her forehead.
His wife, his Crown Princess, the creator of the biggest miracle in his life.
Li Seung-kyung quietly left the inner room and asked the palace maids to close the curtain so that he could watch over the Crown Princess at all times. After everything was explained, Li Seung-kyung called the wet nurses over. He took the children and solemnly and patiently learned how to hold a child.
He made a lot of preparations and even prepared for the worst. But he didn't expect that the heavens would give him such a big surprise. During this period of time, Li Chengjing's best wish was to have a pair of twin daughters. He didn't even dare to think in the direction of twins.
Who could have known that a miracle really would happen in his destiny?
His eldest son and eldest daughter of the first wife. This was the most precious compensation given to him by destiny after it had wantonly manipulated his life.
The Crown Prince did not come to court today, but there was news of him everywhere.
First, everyone gathered at the Gate of Heaven Influence and found that the Crown Prince was not among them. A eunuch from the Eastern Palace came to inform them that the Crown Princess was about to give birth and that the Crown Prince would not be coming to court today.
This was Li Seung-kyung's first and perhaps only time that he would be absent from morning court.
Thus, in the first half of the morning court, the old minister slowly presented a report. Everyone appeared to be patiently listening, but in reality, they were all thinking about the news from the Eastern Palace. The Emperor also rarely spoke. His gaze was focused, presumably also absent-minded.
In the middle of the morning court, the imperial eunuch joyfully stopped in front of the Jinshui Bridge. Everyone's attention was immediately drawn over. The Emperor also quickly noticed and paused the discussion of the Imperial Court to have the eunuch come forward to report.
No one had any objections. Even the person who was presenting the report stared at the eunuch. The imperial eunuch smiled and kowtowed to the Emperor, loudly saying, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Crown Princess gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Both mother and child are safe. Auspicious snow indicates a fruitful year and the arrival of twins of a boy and a girl. It can be seen that the heavens bless our dynasty and that Your Majesty's fortune will continue to last! "
When the entire court heard about the twins, everyone was in an uproar. The Emperor was overjoyed and stood up to say "good" three times. He waved his hand and said, "This is a joyous occasion for the entire dynasty, congratulations! Pass down my orders, the young royal prince and young royal princess's three baptisms and full moon celebration will be held! "
All the civil and military officials knelt down together, their long sleeves touching the ground, and bowed deeply to the Emperor, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Highness the Crown Prince. The heavens bless our dynasty. "
In the second half of the morning court, naturally, no one had the heart to listen to the report. Everyone was jubilant and congratulated, and the morning court seemed to be celebrating the New Year. When the morning court was reluctantly dismissed, the Emperor hurriedly left the throne and went to the Eastern Palace to see his grandchildren.
The news of the Crown Princess giving birth to twins of a boy and a girl also spread throughout the country.
The Crown Prince didn't show up for the whole day, but everyone was talking about him. Twins of a boy and a girl were a great omen. It had always been regarded as the good deeds of the ancestors of the family, so the heavens blessed them. Since the twins of a boy and a girl had come to the imperial family, didn't it mean that the imperial family was following the will of the heavens and was favored by the heavens?
No wonder the Emperor was so happy. Not only did the Crown Prince suddenly have a legitimate eldest son, but he also had a pair of children with auspicious omens. The birth date was the first day of the twelfth lunar month. It snowed when they were born, and they were twins of a boy and a girl. People who hadn't learned fortune-telling would know that this was a great birth date.
This was a ready-made signboard. Li Seung-kyung's position as the Crown Prince was in accordance with the will of the heavens and there was no longer any objection.
Previously, there was a rumor that the Crown Princess was pregnant with twins. Empress Dowager Yang and Princess Shou also hinted that this was an omen and would bring disaster to the Empress Dowager. The Emperor asked his imperial physician to come out and say that it wasn't twins. Under all kinds of rumors, everyone felt more and more afraid that it was true, which was why the Emperor covered it up like this.
In the end, the results came out. What omen? They were twins of a boy and a girl! All the rumors were dispelled. Empress Dowager Yang and Empress Yang had done so much, inviting nuns and gathering all the members of the imperial family to take care of the Empress Dowager. Everyone knew about it, but in the end, this slap in the face was ruthlessly slapped in the face.
The slap in the face was very loud and clear, and everyone knew about it.
After the officials finished discussing the biggest topic of the day, they were suddenly envious and jealous of the Crown Prince. As a man, the Crown Prince was too much of a winner in life.
When he was born, he was the eldest son of the first wife. When he was five years old, he was named the Crown Prince. Later, he accidentally encountered a natural disaster and was saved by a famous talented woman in the capital thirty years ago. Although he lost his status, he became a Jinshi at the age of sixteen, so he attracted the Emperor's attention and was recognized.
Becoming a Jinshi was an honor that many students yearned for in their lifetime. Li Seung-kyung was only sixteen years old when he became a Jinshi. He was a true young genius. Later, it was proven that not only did he have an outstanding IQ, he also had a noble birth, the Crown Prince.
After he regained his status as the Crown Prince, he married his former niece. Of course, there was nothing to publicize. However, the Crown Princess was beautiful and generous. The two of them were harmonious and the husband and wife were harmonious. In the second year of their marriage, they gave birth to a pair of twins of a boy and a girl.
Career, family, fame, everything was out of everyone's reach. At first, the important officials in the capital tried to compare, but later, they completely gave up.
There were always some evildoers in the world who showed the general public how good a person could be.
