At noon on April 23rd, Yan Shiyue gave birth to quadruplets, a son of a boy. Both mother and son were safe.
As soon as the news came out, the entire harem was in a state of excitement. Not to mention the Queen, even the Queen Mother was overjoyed and kept chanting Buddha's name.
As for Concubine Shu...it's like a slap in the face.
The queen really didn't lie. They were indeed not twins, they were twice as old as each other! No wonder they were born before they were full term!
Quadruplets are so rare that I have never even heard of them! Born into the royal family, this is the royal family of the Yan family!
Moreover, whoever is eating fast and chanting Buddha’s name doesn’t know that today is the day when the Four Heavenly Kings are patrolling!
The four protector gods, the great benevolent gods, commanded twenty-eight tribes, patrolled the world, rewarded good and punished evil... And on this very day, Lady Fu gave birth to four young men. This is not the reincarnation of a god.
!
Regardless of whether it is far-fetched or not, Emperor Ming Yan was quite happy anyway.
During the Qianqiu Festival, this was the main topic at the banquet. It was inconvenient for men to say more, so they turned to the errands of the seventh and eighth offices.
Many people also talked about Huo Qijing throwing the two of them into the market. No matter what they thought in their hearts, on the surface they were praising their good relationship. After all, their relationship was not good. Who would dare to take care of the emperor's brother-in-law?
The seven and eight people also had separate tables for the first time and no longer sat with their mother and concubine.
It seems like overnight, my brothers have grown up.
The fourth prince lowered his eyes slightly and turned the wine glass in his hand.
After the draft, his cousin Yan Yuan still entered the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Not only did Emperor Guangyan treat him a little coldly, but even his uncle's family looked at him with something wrong.
He really didn't understand what his mother-in-law was thinking.
Yan Shiyue said that Emperor Ming Yan sent people to investigate again. It is impossible to keep this kind of news secret. Even if it is not officially stated, everything that needs to be known is known. Entering the Fourth Prince's Mansion was indeed a good choice.
, but if you can’t have children in your lifetime... then of course it’s better to enter the palace.
Anyone can make this choice.
To appease his grandfather and uncle, he could just have a child. However, he was really afraid that as Yan Shiyue said, if something went wrong, even if he was just weak, it would be self-defeating... Besides, even if he was lucky enough to have no problems, risking
This risk is very likely to make Emperor Ming Yan hate it.
He told his mother-in-law, who said with a cold face: "I'm not doing it for you! When the good times are good, you won't be grateful. When the bad times are bad, it's all my fault! In this case, I won't care about you from now on!"
Now that things have come to this, how can we break the situation?
The next day, the fourth prince requested an order to go to Rongzhou to provide disaster relief.
In this world, no matter how peaceful the country and the people are, there will always be natural disasters and man-made disasters. Rongzhou had a hailstorm a few days ago and activated the Deshan Gold. It is logical to see it on the spot.
Emperor Ming Yan agreed.
The fourth prince set off for Rongzhou that day.
In the eyes of others, the Fourth Prince's rise in power began when the Prince disappeared and he went to relieve the disaster in his stead.
But in fact, only he knew that he had such thoughts when Yan Shiyue was stabbed in the hand.
It is said that the prince cried for Yan Shiyue, and it is said that the prince was punished by kneeling in front of the imperial study room. In those days, looking at Emperor Ming Yan's expression, he was obviously dissatisfied with the prince... At that moment, his heart skipped a beat inexplicably,
An idea came up.
Since... then why not...
Emperor Ming Yan thought twice and went to the palace, leaving the prince behind and bringing the queen and Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi with him.
As for Yan Shiyue.
The four children were all weighing around four pounds. They were not too small, but they were certainly not big. Even their cries were tinny and weak.
Yan Shiyue was really on tenterhooks, wishing she could sleep with one eye open, not trusting anyone who looked at her.
Moreover, the dumplings and rice cakes are only over a year old, which is the time to recognize people. They are all little people, as if they know that the nanny is not one of them, and they must see their parents.
Huo Qijing ran back and forth and lost a lot of weight in a few days.
Yan Shiyue sometimes made fun of him by making fun of him: "Don't you want a son? Now that you have a son, are you happy?"
He smiled back at her: "Be happy, no matter how tired you are, you will be happy."
Fortunately, the weather in May is neither too cold nor too hot, so it is relatively easy to take care of.
Yan Shiyue no longer wanted to look good, she wished she could just wear clothes with a piece of cloth hanging on her body every day.
After enduring this for two full months, Yan Shiyue breathed a sigh of relief as her four little ones gradually began to grow flesh on their faces and their little hands and feet became stronger. She thought that she could finally take care of these children.
Yan Shiyue and Huo Qijing looked at the four children from head to toe.
Just as she expected, all four children looked like Huo Qijing, but their skin was whiter than his.
The fourth child, Xiao Erlang, is the easiest to recognize because he has a small red mole in the middle of his right eyebrow. Other than that, the other three are almost identical.
After searching hard for a long time, they discovered that the two little ones had moles on the soles of their feet, and coincidentally, one was on the left foot and the other on the right foot.
This way they were finally distinguished.
Maybe it was because she was too worried, or maybe it was because she was young. Anyway, she felt that postpartum care was not as careful as the last time, but even with the rubbing and wrapping, her belly shrank quickly and she became thinner than before giving birth.
The little rice cake also entered the ranking, so now the children are three, four, five and six. Yan Shiyue was too lazy to come up with nicknames. She just thought that they were born like cats, so she simply called them three cats and four cats.
As a result, the whole family objected, and Yan Shiyue said calmly: "Cats have nine lives!"
So it was passed unanimously.
Except for the word "honor", the Huo family is not as particular about naming as the royal family. They just considered the lack of water in the five elements, so they chose four words with water. They are called Ran, Xu, Xi and Tao.
Four more children equaled a lot more people to serve, and Linlang couldn't take care of them.
Yan Shiyue asked the four nuns given by the queen to take charge of one child, and they would be classified according to the color of their clothes. Then, for each child, there would be two wet nurses, two eunuchs, and a medical woman.
Coordinate and check and balance each other.
Regardless of whether it's grandma or these people, everyone's family has found out clearly that if even half a hair is lost, everyone will die.
So everyone was served very attentively.
The Duke's Mansion had been closed to all guests, and there were no showers or three-day showers. But when Huo Qijing went out with a smile on his face, and the anxiety of the previous days was gone, he knew that the child must have been taken care of.
Although Yan Shiyue himself did not go out, the affairs of the Ministry of Commerce were not delayed at all.
But the people outside are a bit confused. It would be inappropriate to come to the door. If you don't come to the door, you can only wait.
The Seventh and Eighth Princes were so confident in selling "General Knowledge of the Ministry of Commerce" that they wanted to ask for another job, but were directly rejected by Huo Qijing without being polite, without even seeing Yan Shiyue's face.
So Qiba had no choice but to go find Qu Sinian.
Then Qu Sinian politely declined.
Just kidding, the emperor is willing to give his son some work because of his father's love. If there is any problem, he will take it upon himself. However, even he is doing it gropingly when it comes to the Ministry of Commerce. If there is any problem, Yan Shiyue will really get angry.
.
How can there be so many things that can be done by just one person like General Knowledge of the Sales Department? Even if there were, who would dare to make the decision for them to do it if Emperor Ming Yan was not around?
After seven or eight years of unrequited talent, I went to look for the prince again. (To be continued)
