The people in the palace have never stopped since the birth of the twins.
At first, the descendants of the Tang family who were on errands in the capital came, and then the distinguished and veteran ministers from various founding states also entered the palace in droves.
Especially the old ministers who were good friends with Tang He were simply happier than having twins in their own family.

"This is a three-hundred-year-old Liaodong ginseng. I came here specially to touch it and replenish it for Your Highness!"
Li Jinglong stood next to Zhu Yunxi, bowed slightly and said.
Zhu Yunxi leaned on the armrest in the verandah, looked at the ginseng in front of him and said with a smile, "This is a good thing, where did you get it?" He said with a smile, "Could it be that you went to your father-in-law's house again to get it? Gu Gu
But I heard that your Duke Cao, Li Jinglong, often pulls things from the Deng family!"
"How can I ask for something that belongs to my father-in-law?" It was rare that Li Jinglong's face turned red and he said, "This is the treasure that Baozhitang packed in the box. I spent a lot of effort to find it!" After saying that, he paused.
"After all, Your Highness is still young and has a weak body. This kind of wild ginseng is the most nourishing thing!"
"You are serious!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Then, she looked at him carefully, "How old is your eldest son?"
Li Jinglong was overjoyed, "My son is already fifteen years old!"
Zhu Yunxi thought about it, "How is your studies?"
When he mentioned this, Li Jinglong felt guilty and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, that little beast is not good at literature or martial arts. He only knows how to have fun all day long!" After saying that, he paused and said, "I wanted to ask for your Highness's grace earlier.
He went to the Imperial College to study, but he really wasn’t the material. Later he thought that by sending him to a martial arts school and sending troops to fight in the future, he would be able to inherit his father’s legacy. But that little beast is not the material to be a soldier at all!”
"Don't talk like a little beast. After all, he is your biological son!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Fifteen is not young anymore. Your Li family is a distinguished member of the country and a relative of the royal family. It's okay to be too incompetent.
That's true!" He said, thinking slightly, "If you don't polish it, you can't make it. If so, Huihui Gu will let him go to the border to practice for a few years. The second child of the Chang family, who was a gangster at the beginning, has now become a general in Yunnan!
"
"Your Highness!" Li Jinglong knelt down with a loud voice, "It is Your Highness's grace to allow him to practice at the border. But for him to be such a legitimate son, it's really..."
"Reluctant?" Zhu Yunxi smiled.
"You!" Zhu Yunxi then said again, "A spoiled child is like killing a child!" At this point, he sighed slightly, "You have always been diligent and loyal, and everyone sees it. Let your son go to the East Palace to be a
Guard!"
Suddenly, Li Jinglong was overjoyed.
Although the guards of the East Palace do not have any official rank, they are people close to the prince. However, if their family background is slightly inferior, they are not qualified. When Li Jinglong was a boy, his first job was as a guard of the East Palace.
The emperor's close ministers are naturally different from others. If others don't say it, they will say Fu Rang. Although he has no other duties except errands in the East Palace, when he leaves the Forbidden City, even the princes must be somewhat courteous.
"I hope that I can be with you for a long time!" Zhu Yunxi said again.
"Your Highness's kindness to me is so great!" Li Jinglong said, "I am a stupid person, but I am favored by His Highness. Not only do I have a high position and a good salary, but now my son is also treated favorably by His Highness. I am extremely frightened and ashamed."
"If you are stupid, there will be no stupid people in the world!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "Old Li, I will not be stingy with what I should reward you. After all, you have done a lot for me!" He said and laughed again.
After a few calls, "This can be considered as compensation for you!"
Li Jinglong suddenly realized that the grace given to his son was the reward for going to Huai'an a few days ago.
"Your son doesn't have any honorary titles yet, does he?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.
"No!" Li Jinglong said quickly, "That little beast of the Chen family has been ranked last in the assessment of the disciples of Wu Chen for several years in a row!"
"I only admire him for being a light chariot captain!" Zhu Yunxi stood up and walked out.
"I would like to thank Your Highness for your grace!"
After Li Jinglong kowtowed, he was ecstatic. Qingche Lieutenant, that is a rank equivalent to a third-grade official!

It was getting late, and the palace city became slightly quiet.
Zhu Yunxi went to see Tang Pang'er, mother and son again, had a conversation, and then returned to Kunning Palace.
As soon as I walked in, I smelled a smell.
"Concubine, please see Your Highness!" Zhao Ning'er bowed slightly and saluted.
Liujin followed him, "I've met my father!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled and asked them to excuse themselves, "What are you eating? It's so delicious?"
"My concubine has steamed some steamed buns!" Zhao Ning'er said with a smile, "The buns stuffed with prunes and vegetables. Have you had your meal yet?"
"I have to eat a few of them even after using them!" Upon hearing this stuffing, Zhu Yunxi moved his index finger.
He casually sat down in the hall, and the Liujin boy ignored him, climbed onto the back of the wooden horse, and started riding.
It’s just this guy’s riding posture today...?
After a while, Zhao Ning'er came up with steamed buns and sat down next to Zhu Yunxi.
"Hiss!" Zhu Yunxi broke one open regardless of how hot his hands were. The bun was soft and fragrant, and it was especially delicious when paired with porridge and side dishes.
"Your Highness!" Zhao Ning'er seemed to have something to say, but hesitated.
Zhu Yunxi put down the bun and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay!" Zhao Ning'er was a little confused and said nothing.
"Seeing Tang Fatty giving birth to twins, are you envious?" Zhu Yunxi put his arm around the other person's shoulders and smiled, "This is something you can't envy!" He said with a bad smile, "If you are envious, then ask for it.
Me!"
Hearing this, Zhao Ning'er rolled her eyes at him.
In fact, Zhu Yunxi understands the thoughts of the women in the palace to some extent. There is no such harmony between women. It's just that they dare not show their comparisons.
Tang Fat'er's twins definitely gave Zhao Ning'er a sense of crisis.
If you don't look at anything else, just look at the number of nobles who entered the palace today. Although the head of the Tang family is no longer here, he is still a serious founding hero and a leader among the nobles in Huaixi.
"Where are you thinking?" Zhao Ning'er continued, "Do you feel bad about being my concubine?" Then she said seriously, "I am not that kind of woman!"
Zhu Yunxi was eating steamed buns, "Then what are you going to say?"
"I can't say anything about this!" Zhao Ning'er stamped her feet, gritted her teeth and whispered in Zhu Yunxi's ear.
Zhu Yunxi nodded while eating, and answered with unclear words in his mouth, "The old man is so doting on Liu Jin, he has to carry it with him wherever he goes.......Pfft! Cough!
!Cough! Cough! Cough!”
"Slow down!" Zhu Yunxi choked, and Zhao Ning'er patted him on the back.
At this time, Liu Jin was riding a wooden horse over there, whipping with a whip, and shouting in his little mouth.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!"
"Little beast!" Zhu Yunxi's eyes twitched a few times.
