Prince of Anping County and Princess of Anle County.
Zhao Xiyan held the imperial edict, read it carefully, then raised her head and smiled at everyone: "These two titles are both excellent."
The word Anping has a profound meaning. Anle is the best wish for girls.
The prince is indeed thoughtful.
This gift is far superior to gold, silver, and jade. Raising a pair of children in an upright manner also makes the Beihai Palace more prestigious.
Everyone laughed together and congratulated each other.
"Sixth cousin," Zhao Queyu came over and asked, "Have you decided on the baby's baby name yet?"
Zhao Xiyan chuckled and whispered softly: "Their biological father came up with a bunch of baby names to spare. The children's names should be random to make a living. The son is called Xiao Guo'er and the daughter is called Xiao Hua'er."
"This name is easy to remember and pleasant to hear." Xu Fang praised it before Xu Zhi could. Xu Zhi was glanced at by the eldest sister and immediately agreed with a smile: "It does sound very nice."
The formal full name must be given by the grandfather. The good news has been sent to Beihai County, and when the child is one month old, the name will be given.
Mrs. Su praised Zhao Xiyan so much that she was praised as a fairy from the Nine Heavens who descended from the mortal world.
Mrs. Su sat for a while and then left with her daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Su retracted her hand with some regret, stared at Xiao Guo'er for a moment, and then looked away.
…
The female family members of the Zhou family, the Zhu family, and the Zhao family all came, the female family members of the Dingguo family came, the female family members of the Gao family came, the wife of Meng Yushi came, and even the Murong family of the Su family came.
The child's baby name naturally comes from his biological father and mother. Little Fruit and Little Flower are much better than Little Monkey.
Zhao Xiyan looked at Mrs. Su's leaving figure, and the smile in her eyes slowly faded.
Xu Fang and Xu Zhi were reluctant to leave, so they each ordered people to send letters back, saying that they would stay at their parents' homes for a few days before returning.
Mrs. Su entered the house with the support of her two daughters-in-law.
"The child is hungry, you take the child down and come back when he is full." Zhao Xiyan gave the order, and the two wet nurses withdrew with a pair of children in their arms.
Zhao Xiyan nodded slightly and let the maids help her sit up on the bed.
The three banquets were held until the afternoon.
"Wishful thinking!" Xu Ying, who has always been good-tempered, was also angry: "Next time she dares to come, I will kick her out personally."
Needless to say in Wu'anbo Mansion, Xu Zhi has always had a domineering temperament and can do whatever she wants. The Zhou family no longer has the previous restraint rules on Xu Fang.
Having just given birth to a child, Zhao Xiyan has not completely lost weight yet, and her cheeks are much plumper than before. Her face is still stunning, and her face and eyes have more of the gentle charm of a first-time mother.
"The Crown Princess is really a blessed person." Madam Su smiled and praised: "I am very happy when I enter the house and give birth to a pair of dragons and phoenixes. This is not only a happy event for the Beihai Palace, but also a great event for the royal family."
Zhao Xiyan's smile did not fade and she said softly: "The child is only three days old and is small and soft. When he grows up and becomes stronger, the old lady can hold him again."
"Mrs. Su, please get up quickly." Zhao Xiyan stretched out her hand to help her, and said with a soft smile: "I just gave birth a few days ago, and I am too weak to stay. Mrs. Su can just sit down and talk."
The pair of children were taken care of by three aunts, and the nannies took good care of them. Zhao Xiyan drank some light rice soup and fell asleep.
"Prince Princess, the old lady of the Su family is here." The hosta reported softly.
What?
The three sisters were shocked and suddenly stood up.
The eldest daughter-in-law Yu is Su Jin’s biological mother, and the second daughter-in-law Luo is Su Huan’s biological mother. They are all respectable ladies outside, and they are not even qualified to sit next to Mrs. Su. They each stood beside Mrs. Su,
Listening to Mrs. Su's greetings with the Crown Princess of Beihai.
Mrs. Su responded with a smile and sat down on the chair next to the bed.
Zhao Suxin obviously also thought of her son's nickname, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "When my little monkey is a little older, I will bring him over to play with little Guoer and Xiaohuaer."
Xu Fang was equally furious: "Xiao Guo'er is the eldest grandson of the Beihai Palace and the titled Prince of Anping County. What is she going to do? She still wants to take Xiao Guo'er to Su Huan to be her son!"
Compared with the anger of her aunts, Zhao Xiyan's face was much calmer. It was not that she was not angry, but when encountering such disgusting things, anger would not help. The most important thing was how to deal with it.
Luo Shi's eyes also drifted away.
"The emperor personally issued a decree to confer the titles of Prince Anping and Princess Anle, which shows how much he loves these two children."
Mrs. Su is Empress Su's biological mother and the prince's maternal grandmother. This status cannot be ignored. Other female family members are blocked from the door, so Mrs. Su always wants to meet her.
"The prince has no thoughts of having a step-heir." Zhao Xiyan said calmly: "Mrs. Su is of no importance, so don't pay attention to her. What matters now is what the queen thinks."
The wet nurse was a little at a loss and turned to look at Zhao Xiyan.
Mrs. Su, who had white hair and a kind face, bowed tremblingly.
After some joking, Mrs. Sun led Zhao Suxin and Zhao Queyu back home.
The angry Xu Zhi rolled up her sleeves and cursed angrily: "This old godly woman! What a vicious heart! Just because she wants to hit our little Guo'er, bah! I'm going to Suzhou right now."
Go home, slap her to wake her up!"
The baby boy, who was just three days old, had a flushed face and couldn't tell whether he was beautiful or ugly. Because he was a twin, he was not very big. His cry was powerful, which showed that he was a healthy child.
Xu Ying frowned and looked at Zhao Xiyan: "Yue Ya'er, what exactly does Mrs. Su want to do?"
When a pair of children came over, Mrs. Su was even more happy after seeing them. After asking which one was the Prince of Anping County, she stretched out her hand to hug them.
In the next two days and two nights, Zhao Xiyan did nothing but eat and feed her baby with milk, and also slept. Her body was weak after giving birth, and the best way to regain her strength was to sleep.
Early in the morning, the two children were tidied up, wearing red bellybands and wrapped in bright red silk satin. The female relatives who came to congratulate them came one after another like running water.
Zhao Xiyan's eyes were slightly cold: "She is plotting against Xiao Guo'er."
Zhao Xiyan responded with a smile: "According to the old lady's good words, I also feel that I am blessed."
Xu Fang also whispered: "Mrs. Su opened her mouth and mentioned that Dong Gong still had no heirs, and also praised Yue Ya'er for being lucky and having children. The words were both subtextual and off-text, and it always sounded a bit unpleasant."
On the day of the child's baptism, the aunts will take care of it, so Zhao Xiyan doesn't have to worry at all.
Xu Fang, Xu Zhi, and Xu Ying came together and sat neatly beside the bed. Xu Zhi was the first to speak: "That Mrs. Su has a good reputation outside, but in fact she is not a good person."
It would be a big trouble if Queen Su also had the idea of adopting an heir for the East Palace.
Before the Xu Fang sisters could say anything, Zhao Xiyan said again: "No matter who it is, don't try to take away my children."
Even if she has to pay a huge price for it, she will never bow her head.
