Yun Qi’s eyes opened a little wider, and his body, numbed from standing the whole night, moved slightly, nearly causing him to stumble.
A midwife ca out of the inner hall with a joyous expression and gave him a beaming smile: "Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince, it’s a little royal grandson! Mother and child are both safe..."
Yun Qi appeared slightly dazed. He heard the midwife’s words, but they seed to hold no aning as they entered his ears.
The only thing he was certain of was the look of joy on the midwife’s face, which set his mind at ease.
He lifted his legs and walked towards the inner hall, but before entering, he heard another weaker cry.
There was clearly so commotion in the inner hall, and then soone else ca out. Seeing him, they quickly bowed with an unmistakable joy on their face: "Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Her Highness is carrying twins, a dragon and phoenix pair!"
Yun Qi brushed past the midwife, a bit nervous as he walked into the inner hall.
At this mont, Gu Shengyin was being attended to and had just changed clothes. The palace attendants were still tidying up, and the whole hall was filled with a strong tallic scent of blood.
Seeing Yun Qi, the palace attendants all saluted.
Yun Qi waved them off and walked straight to Gu Shengyin’s bed.
She had not lost consciousness, rely lying on the bed with her bangs wet from sweat, enough to imagine the pain she had just endured.
Yun Qi murmured, "Rourou..."
Gu Shengyin slightly raised her eyes to look at him. She was truly exhausted now, and even such a small movent felt incredibly taxing.
Yet Yun Qi said nothing more, he rely reached his hand under the blanket, gently holding her limp hand, repeatedly calling Rourou.
The wet nurse tending to the children looked at His Highness the Crown Prince with so emotion, deeply moved within.
It was not her first ti witnessing a noblewoman giving birth.
But this was the first ti she saw such a situation: after giving birth to twins, the father was focused solely on his wife, not sparing even a glance at the two children.
Watching, she couldn’t help but feel a little envious.
She had seen many things among the nobility, and how many of those couples truly had sincere feelings?
Her Highness the Crown Princess Consort not only held a noble position but what’s rare is that she also commanded the unreserved sincerity of His Highness the Crown Prince.
Indeed, people cannot be compared with one another.
The Eastern Palace had given birth to a dragon and phoenix pair, bringing great joy to the Emperor and Empress.
The Emperor personally bestowed nas upon the imperial grandson and granddaughter, calling the boy Zhao, and the girl Xi.
No court official dared to ntion the Crown Princess Consort’s previous lack of children anymore. The dragon and phoenix pair was an exceedingly rare cause for celebration, and the Crown Prince had always treasured the Crown Princess Consort dearly. Now that she had just given birth, who would dare to foolishly seek displeasure at such a ti?
Outside, it was bustling with excitent.
Lu Xi lay in bed feeling feverish. During the heavy snowfall a few days ago, the noble people of the palace praised the beautiful snowy scene and extolled the Emperor’s wisdom, predicting another year of bountiful harvests.
But only here, where the sudden plumt in temperature left her without enough charcoal, was it damp and chilly.
In such weather, it was unsurprisingly easy to catch a cold.
Yet now, the entire palace was celebrating the great joy of the Eastern Palace, and all the Imperial Physicians of the Imperial dical Bureau focused their attention on those three esteed masters.
Who would spare a thought for her, an unnoticed and unfavored concubine?
The young maid had begged for so dicine, but it was like a drop in the ocean. After dragging on for a month, she couldn’t even get out of bed.
