The news of Shen Ninghua giving birth to a dragon and a phoenix spread throughout the capital overnight. The citizens were extremely surprised, and their words denounced the monk. Many people regarded the two children that Shen Ninghua had given birth to as an auspicious sign.
After the birth of the twins, the sky was exceptionally clear for the next ten days. The sky was clear without any clouds, and it was impossible to see the rain and thunder from before. Although it wasn't cold enough to snow, the thunder and lightning from winter had startled many people.
Especially since Dong Lei had destroyed half of Ning Kun Palace, they were scared to death at that time. Now they finally knew the reason, the heavens were warning the Demonic Monk to harm Princess Zhao Hua and the Dragon and Phoenix Embryo in her womb. This was not strange at all, after all, auspicious signs were born, so they had to be blessed by the heavens! It would have been great if he hadn't directly killed the demon monk within the prison!
Baili Qingfeng had even openly asked the ministers to propose the names of the twins. Naturally, the civil and military officials would not raise their eyebrows at this time. They all racked their brains to think of a name, afraid that they would displease the emperor if they spoke wrongly.
Baili Junyi was the first to return to the pavilion. He washed his hands and changed his clothes, then entered the room. The scene of Shen Ninghua leaning on the pillow, undoing her clothes to feed the child was playing out in front of them.
Shen Ninghua was wearing a snow-white undergarment, and her jet-black hair was tied up with only a simple jade clasp. Some of it was scattered on the sides of her face and shoulders, making her skin look like white jade with pink peach blossoms.
His eyes became hot as he felt a rush of blood. He stopped in his tracks, his heart pounding in his chest, making him uneasy. He would never forget this scene.
Shen Ninghua slightly raised her eyes and unknowingly pulled up her clothes. "You're back?"
"Ah!" He raised a hand to rub his nose, forcing a smile onto his face. He sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at the child, who had eaten and slept soundly. A trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
He reached out and gently touched his daughter who was wrapped in red swaddling clothes, and the soft touch from his fingertips made him more and more relaxed. He always felt as if he had touched a piece of tofu, and his heart was filled with joy and admiration. How was he like that lucky brat!
Shen Ninghua didn't know that he was daydreaming. Seeing that his son had also fallen asleep, she folded her sleeves and laid down on the pillow, "Momo told me not to carry the child, lest it hurt Yue Zi's arm. You should pick up your son and gently pat him so he can burp."
Baili Junyi was flustered. These two children were as soft as tofu when they were born. The wind was so strong that it could break their bodies.
Seeing that he did not move, and even had fear in his eyes, Shen Ninghua asked doubtfully, "What's wrong? You don't know how to do it, so why don't you call the mama in?"
"No," Baili Junyi interrupted her, "there's no need to call the mama. I'll come myself."
Looking at his expressionless and serious expression, Shen Ninghua couldn't help curling her lips. "Are you sure you can do it?"
Men can't say no!
The expression on Baili Junyi's face grew even more serious. She picked up her son and carefully patted him twice. With furrowed brows, she asked Shen Ninghua, "Why isn't he belching?"
Seeing his posture, Shen Ninghua was stunned for a moment. Then, suppressing her laughter, she said, "Hehehe, you …" If it wasn't for her daughter still sleeping, she would have definitely laughed out loud.
Baili Junyi held his son in his arms, patting him on the back with a strength so light that it seemed as if he was touching it with his fingertips. How could his son let out a burp like that?
"My wife!" Baili Junyi's expression was solemn as he glared daggers at Shen Ninghua, concealing the embarrassment in his eyes.
Shen Ninghua laughed for a long time before finally stopping. The corner of her lips remained curved upwards as she lifted the child into her arms and gently patted his back. It wasn't long before she heard a loud burp.
Baili Junyi's heart was in distress, but he tried his best not to show it on his face. Seeing Shen Ninghua put the child down, he sat down on the edge of the bed and tucked Shen Ninghua in.
Shen Ninghua laughed in her heart for a while. When she saw her daughter unconsciously move her hands, her attention was diverted. "Jun Yi, it's been more than ten days. Father still hasn't given them a good name?"
Seeing that Shen Ninghua no longer snickered, Baili Junyi heaved a sigh of relief. "Not yet. Imperial Father was exceptionally careful this time. The officials and the imperial overseer sent over more than eighty names, but Imperial Father was dissatisfied. We'll just wait and see."
"That's the only thing we can do. However, it's a bit inconvenient for us to call these two children now." Shen Ninghua said somewhat regretfully.
A light flashed through Baili Junyi's mind. "The commoners always say that giving them a more ordinary name is easier. Let's give them a nickname first and call them by that name."
"It's a solution. Do you have any good ideas?"
Baili Junyi rubbed his chin, looking at the two sleeping steamed buns, he suddenly smiled. "The boss and the waiter?"
The interest Shen Ninghua had just gained suddenly died down. She said snappily, "Boss and the waiter? It's fine if you're the boss, but at least you're a boy. It doesn't matter if you have a nickname or something like that, but when our daughter grows up, I'll tell her that your father got you a nickname called the waiter? "
"Hehe, I was just joking. Don't take it as the truth." Baili Junyi's heart skipped a beat as she thought about how her daughter would look at her with such an aggrieved expression. "Why don't we call them boss and Little Treasure?" Daughter is a treasure, that's a good name.
Looking at her son who was sleeping soundly, Shen Ninghua helplessly thought to himself, "Looks like you've decided to be the boss. Since that's the case, mother has no other choice."
Baili Junyi was overjoyed. She looked at the two children for a few more moments before calling for Bai Yu and the mama to come in. She carefully carried the two children to the room next door.
When there were only two people left in the room, Baili Junyi took off his shoes and laid down beside Shen Ninghua. He pulled Shen Ninghua into his embrace, allowing her to rest on his arm. He rubbed his cheek against the top of her head and said, "Ninghua, your father has already been sentenced to death. When our child is out of the full moon, he will be killed."
Shen Ninghua nodded and relaxed in his embrace, "Yeah, the empress has also quietened down a lot. She probably knows that she has angered Imperial Father this time."
"Yes, there has been a fierce struggle in the imperial court recently, especially between the third prince and the crown prince." Yes, there has been a fierce fight in the imperial court recently, especially between the third prince and the crown prince.
"Although royal father has banned the empress, he doesn't have any ill feelings towards the crown prince. He should still be very satisfied with the crown prince's honesty, or else he wouldn't have sealed the empress's feet and wouldn't have allowed the palace to spread rumors so casually." "Hm, looks like I'll be able to be quiet for a while." Since the empress was grounded, the crown prince and the Zhao Family did not dare to move.
The atmosphere was exceptionally warm as the two of them embraced each other. They did not finish their words. However, they clearly understood in their hearts that after this short period of peace, a storm of blood would soon break. It was best to take advantage of the situation and enjoy the peace here.
As the days passed, the two children became more and more cute and obedient. After drinking their milk every day, they would sleep peacefully. When he woke up, he opened his eyes that were like black gems and looked at the people around him. Every time he saw them, he would feel his heart go soft.
The only point was that she absolutely could not separate the two, nor could she leave Shen Ninghua for too long. Once the two of them were separated, or if they were allowed to stay by Shen Ninghua's side for a long period of time, they would definitely cry until the heavens collapsed and the earth crumbled.
The day of the full moon was nearing. After a month of recuperation, Little Treasure's body felt much better. That loud and clear cry made one's heart ache.
As a doctor, she knew that it wasn't a bad thing for the child to cry, but for Baili Junyi, it was a bad thing. As long as he heard the child cry, he would carry the child in his arms and comfort her, especially his daughter, Xiaobao.
Shen Ninghua couldn't help laughing in his heart every time he saw this scene.
The day's weather was especially sunny and clear. Under Bai Yan's care, Shen Ninghua took a good bath and changed into a light and light set of clothes. He felt as if his entire being had lightened by a lot. During this month, she couldn't move or eat or even open the window. Every day, she would just lie in bed and feel her bones go soft.
After helping Shen Ninghua tidy up her clothes, Hong Ling exclaimed in admiration, "Miss, you're even more beautiful than before!"
Even though he had gone through a round of production, Shen Ninghua still had a slim waist and light steps. Because he had been nourishing for a month with his rosy white face, he had become much gentler and more tolerant. Before, he had been sharp and confident with his beauty, but now, he was much gentler than before, causing people to be unable to shift their eyes away from him.
Shen Ninghua was in an extremely good mood. She turned around and said to Bai Yu, "Bai Yu, give Hong Ling a red packet later. She's becoming more and more talkative."
"Yes, mademoiselle."
Hong Ling giggled as she bowed, "Thank you for your gift, Miss."
Shen Ninghua laughed and lowered her head to look at the hairpin in the jewelry box, not knowing what else to wear.
As Chu Junyi walked in, she saw a beautiful woman dressed in pink and white clothes. She was looking at the dressing table with a slight frown, and her eyes were filled with admiration and awe. "Ning Hua …"
Shen Ninghua raised her head and met his gaze. Immediately, her cheeks turned red as she asked, "Aren't you entertaining the guests in the front courtyard?" Today was a full moon feast for the two of them. She could attend, but Baili Junyi had to go to the front yard early in the morning.
Chu Junyi walked over and helped her put on the gold-plated gemstone hairpin made from phoenix feathers. She then looked at it with a satisfied expression for a while, "Hmm, I just received a message from the palace. They said that after some time, father and mother would come back. I came to check on you."
"Then let's hurry over."
Chu Junyi took her by the arm and pulled her into her embrace. "Ning Hua, aren't you going to make yourself look ugly? I don't want you to go out and meet anyone else."
Shen Ninghua's face turned even redder. She pushed him away a little and said, "Alright, let's go."
Chu Junyi laughed in a low voice, lowered her head and kissed her forehead before leading her out.
