Chapter 387: Chapter 366, Awkward! Forgot the babies, the Emperor wants to see his granddaughter instead of the morning court

Concubine Xu originally wanted to gloat a bit longer, but having her hand pulled by Lady Tao, she had no choice but to reluctantly leave.

Concubine Xue watched Concubine Xu’s smug expression and couldn’t help wanting to slap her twice—what’s so great about a godmother? They didn’t come from your womb.

After everyone dispersed, Hehuan Hall quieted down as well.

Chun Xi was busy stewing soup, afraid that Shen Chuwei would wake up hungry.

Inside the room

Xiao Jinyan sat on the bed, looking down at the person who had fallen into a deep sleep. Though he had not witnessed it, he had heard everything.

The heart-wrenching cries still echoed in his ears.

Xiao Jinyan took a towel dabbed with hot water and wiped the fine sweat that had formed on her forehead.

After wiping her clean, he wrapped the head towel Chun Xi had prepared before around her forehead.

Seeing her sleep soundly, Xiao Jinyan finally stood up to approach the small bed.

The small bed, prepared months ago, was crafted from the finest rosewood.

The two little ones lay side by side in the small bed, sleeping sweetly at the moment.

It was somewhat unbelievable—to think that before resting, the two little ones were still in Xiao Jiu’s belly, and now they were right before his eyes.

Those two loud cries had informed everyone of their arrival.

Xiao Jinyan looked for a good while, not knowing which was the elder brother and which the younger sister, and randomly picked one to hold carefully.

Looking at the tiny one in his arms, "It was you two who tormented your mother and made her suffer for quite a while."

The little one slept soundly, unable to understand Xiao Jinyan’s words.

After holding the baby for a while, Xiao Jinyan put the child back into the bed.

That night, Xiao Jinyan didn’t dare close his eyes, fearing Xiao Jiu would awake and find no one there.

At dawn, Shen Chuwei, who had been sleeping soundly, woke up due to an empty stomach.

She opened her heavy eyelids and saw Xiao Jinyan sitting on the bed, "Jinyan."

Upon speaking, her throat was hoarse and sounded awful.

Seeing her awake, Xiao Jinyan stood up and brought her a cup of warm water, "Have some water first."

Shen Chuwei looked at Xiao Jinyan with a pitiable gaze, "You’re only giving me water? Isn’t there any meat?"

Xiao Jinyan, seeing her still unable to forget about food at this time, helplessly supported her with one hand to lean into his embrace, and said gently, "Drink some water first, then eat something."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chuwei obediently drank the water.

After she finished the water, Xiao Jinyan asked Chun Xi to bring over the stewed ginseng black chicken soup.

Xiao Jinyan propped some soft pillows behind Shen Chuwei, who had just given birth and was at her weakest.

Seeing her furrow her brows, she must have been in pain.

Xiao Jinyan could guess where the pain was just by looking, but he was helpless to do anything, unable to take her place.

"Xiao Jiu, I will feed you."

Shen Chuwei had no strength at that moment and couldn’t be bothered to move. With someone to take care of her, of course she was willing.

Xiao Jinyan held the bowl with one hand and a white porcelain spoon with the other, feeding Xiao Jiu spoonful by spoonful.

Shen Chuwei’s gaze stayed fixed on the large chicken leg, and after drinking more than half of the bowl of soup, Xiao Jinyan still didn’t offer her the chicken leg.

As she saw the bowl of soup nearing its end, Xiao Jinyan still hadn’t given her the chicken leg to eat.

In the end, she couldn’t resist and directly picked up the chicken leg to bite into it.

Xiao Jinyan paused in his actions, watching her gnaw on the chicken leg—she couldn’t even wait for a moment?

After Shen Chuwei finished the chicken leg, Xiao Jinyan took a cloth, dabbed it in warm water, and wiped her mouth, then cleaned her hands as well.

"Wherever you feel discomfort, tell me, and I will have the Imperial Doctor come to examine you."

Shen Chuwei yawned, feeling sleepy after being full and quenched.

"I’m sleepy."

"Then go to sleep," Xiao Jinyan said as he laid her down and covered her with the blanket.

Shen Chuwei closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep when she suddenly opened them again and looked at Xiao Jinyan.

Xiao Jinyan was startled, "What’s wrong! Is something uncomfortable?"

"Where are the babies?" Forgive her for only thinking about the babies now.

Xiao Jinyan said, "The babies are sleeping, very well behaved."

Shen Chuwei, still not reassured, asked again, "Is it a boy or a girl? Are they both alright?"

Xiao Jinyan said gently, "It’s boy and girl twins, both are fine."

Upon hearing ’boy and girl twins,’ Shen Chuwei was as excited as if she had won the top prize, utterly thrilled.

"Jinyan, I want to see them."

"Alright." Xiao Jinyan picked up one of them, specifically checking—it was the daughter.

"This is the daughter."

The newborn baby’s features had not yet fully developed.

Shen Chuwei looked from the left to the right, unable to tell whom she resembled.

"I want to see the son."

Then, Xiao Jinyan brought the son to her as well.

Shen Chuwei still looked from left to right, still unable to discern any likeness, and she looked up at Xiao Jinyan’s stunning face, "I’m not asking for much, just that they grow up to resemble you, their father."
