Li Hongyuan should have gone to the palace to report the good news.
He had planned to do so beforehand.
But, at the last moment, seeing the two newly born little pink bundles, Li Hongyuan didnât really want to enter the palace.
He thought for a moment and sent Chashan to report the good news.
Chashan said, âMaster, the Princess Consort has given birth to a boy and a girl twin. This is an auspicious sign, a great joy. If you personally go to report the good news to His Majesty, his face will surely light up in delight.â
âThis prince is a bit tired now, I will go later, you go and report the news first.â
âTired?â
Although puzzled, Chashan didnât dare to ask any more questions and quickly went to prepare the horse.
Li Hongyuan walked around Crystal Clear Manor twice.
He visited the babies in their side room first.
There were a large group of maids and wet nurses surrounding them, so he didnât need to worry at all.
The wet nurses had been prepared early on, all of them clean women who had just given birth a few months ago, and their milk was abundant, so they could feed the babies right away.
Newborn babies donât eat much; they sleep once theyâre full, and it is easy to look after them.
After seeing the children, Li Hongyuan still felt a sense of suffocation in his heart.
He didnât understand why.
He originally thought it would just be a boy, but now it turns out to be a boy and a girl twin, which is a huge surprise. He should be happy that he suddenly has both a son and a daughter.
But, he wasnât particularly happy.
He frowned, raised his head, and realized that he had unknowingly walked to Jiang Ningâs bedroom door.
Chunlai came out carrying water and saw him standing at the door. She was startled and quickly bowed, âThis servant greets Your Highness.â
Li Hongyuan looked inside, and even through the curtains and folding screens, he couldnât see anything, but he still asked, âIs she awake?â
Chunlai knew he was asking about the Princess Consort and answered, âYour Highness, the Princess Consort is awake.â
âAwake?â
Li Hongyuan immediately walked inside, stopping before the curtain, remembering the previous scene of her with tears in her eyes telling him to leave.
âWhoâs outside, standing there?â Huang Yingâs voice came.
Li Hongyuan just pulled the curtain and went in.
He is the Prince of Yu, the master of this house, and he is not a thief. Thereâs no need to hesitate.
Huang Ying was wiping Jiang Ningâs face and hands with a towel. Seeing him enter, she got up and bowed.
Li Hongyuan raised his hand to let her go and looked at Jiang Ning on the bed.
She looked very weak, listless, and lying on her side without moving.
She didnât react even though she knew he had come.
Li Hongyuan looked at her lifeless appearance and frowned, âWhatâs wrong with you?â
Jiang Ning ignored him.
âDoes it still hurt?â Li Hongyuan asked again.
He did not get a response.
âWhy donât you talk?â
âYouâre very noisy.â
Her voice was very weak and hoarse.
Li Hongyuan sat down next to the bed, looked at her face and softened his voice, âDoes it hurt badly?â
âNonsense, why donât you try giving birth?â
âIf this prince could give birth, there would be no need for you.â
â â Although Jiang Ning had always been impatient with him, she couldnât
help but look at him after hearing those words.
Did he really say that?
His voice was no longer cold and aloof, nor sarcastic, but a gentle and deep tone instead.
Li Hongyuan saw that her face seemed to regain a bit of color and continued, âYouâve given birth to a pair of boy and girl twins.â
âI know.â
Mentioning this, Jiang Ning was annoyed.
Struggling all day to give birth, she finally had her baby and thought she would be free, but her stomach still hurt terribly, and she didnât feel the peacefulness others described at all.
The midwife touched her belly and shouted out.
There was another one in her belly!
At that moment, Jiang Ningâs vision darkened and she almost fainted.
No wonder her belly had been so frighteningly big. It wasnât because she was carrying a giant baby, but because there were two..
