Red Mansion Beijingwang

Shui Rong was walking hurriedly on the corridors of the palace. Even though it was the bleak early winter, sweat broke out on his forehead and his breath was like mist. There was no trace of his usual calmness and composure.

Earlier, he was drinking tea and discussing Taoism with Master Miaoyu in the Rongcui Temple. When the discussion was getting heated, Fu Qiufang came over in a panic and said that Yuanchun was about to give birth and asked him to hurry over.

Seeing this situation, Shui Rong naturally didn't care about anything else. After asking the maids in the nunnery to take care of Miaoyu who was unable to take care of herself, he tidied up a bit and went to "Feng Yi Ting" with Fu Qiufang.

As for the fact that Fu Qiufang knew where he was going, it was actually not difficult to understand. Shui Rong was the only master in the palace, and his every word and action were highly valued. From the moment Shui Rong returned to the palace, he was basically under the watchful eyes of everyone in the palace.

Anyone who wanted to find someone could find out Shui Rong's whereabouts by just asking a few questions. It was very easy to find out that Shui Rong was looking for the nun in Longcui Temple to drink tea and discuss Taoism.

Fu Qiufang, who was following closely behind, was a little out of breath. He looked up at the hurried young man and shouted, "Your Majesty, wait a minute."

Shui Rong paused when he heard this, turned around and stared at the elegant beauty, frowned, and asked, "Qiu Fang, what's wrong?"

Fu Qiufang took a deep breath, and her beautiful face was abnormally rosy. She moved forward hurriedly, holding the handkerchief in her hand and wiping the mark on the boy's lips. She couldn't help but complain, "My prince, you are not more careful."

In fact, for the nun in the Longcui Temple, on the surface, the prince wanted her to drink tea and discuss Taoism, but the smart people all knew it in private and did not expose it, even Fu Qiufang was the same.

So, when I went to Longcui Temple and saw that the prince’s clothes were a little messy, I knew his condition.

An unnatural look appeared on Shui Rong's face. Seeing the beauty carefully wiping and tidying up his clothes, he changed the subject and asked, "Have the midwife and the doctor gone over?"

Some things are known, but since everyone knows it tacitly, there is no need for him to take the initiative to expose it.

Fu Qiufang frowned and replied, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. When the princess felt uncomfortable in her stomach, the Concubine Dowager happened to be here. She immediately asked the doctor and the nanny to take care of her. You don't have to worry too much."

Shui Rong felt a little relieved when he heard that. With those professionals taking care of her, nothing would go wrong. But Wan'er was there too!
Seeing the relieved look on the young man's face, Fu Qiufang pursed her lips slightly, secretly feeling upset.

If you say that the prince is affectionate, that's not wrong. After all, when he heard that the princess was about to give birth, he didn't even care about his manners. But if you really think about it, when the princess was pregnant, the prince was hanging out with nuns in the nunnery, and I don't know what Fu Qiufang would say.

Alas, it is a common problem for men to have extramarital affairs. Who would have known that by coincidence, when the princess was about to give birth, the prince was committing an extravagant act in the nunnery.

Could it be that the young master is speaking up for the princess?

After a pause, Shui Rong lowered his eyes and looked at the gentle beauty in front of him, and suddenly said, "Qiu Fang, you have to keep this matter to yourself and don't gossip about it."

It's tacitly known, but this is the sensitive time when the baby is about to be born and it's happening in the Longcui Temple. It's better to be cautious and there's no need to reveal it.

I feel guilty now. If I had known this would happen, why would I have done such a ridiculous thing?

Fu Qiufang tidied up the boy's messy clothes with her bare hands. She glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, pursed her pink lips, and said angrily, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'll save it. But Your Majesty, you are a monk after all, so you should at least pay attention to your manners."

She would naturally not do anything to gossip, but as she said, Miaoyu was a nun after all, and if the news got out, it would be a laughing stock in the palace.

Besides, ever since the princess became pregnant, she and Baoqin had not enjoyed the prince's favor for an unknown period of time. They mostly helped to deal with the affairs of the palace every day and became housekeepers.

I know that Baoqin and I are the spice between the prince and the princess, but why don't they restrain themselves when they accompany the prince in his foolish behavior on weekdays? How come he gets tired of them so quickly?
This feeling of disparity made her feel resentful even though she was as quiet as water.

If you really don't like it, why bother with it? After all the trouble, you will be ignored by others, which makes you feel stuck and itchy.

Of course, Fu Qiufang did not express it explicitly, it was just a metaphor. After all, it was not her turn to be jealous, and one should know one's limits.

Shui Rong heard the resentment in Fu Qiufang's tone, stretched out his hand to pinch the beauty's creamy face, and said with a smile: "Okay, I understand, I will love you well in the future."

Fu Qiufang's beautiful face flushed red, like a blooming red plum, her eyelashes trembled, her crystal clear eyes were full of water, she smoothed the hem of her robe with her bare hands, and said softly, "Okay, Prince, let's go see the princess first."

Shui Rong nodded. It was nothing. The important thing now was Yuanchun.

Arriving at Feng Yiting, we saw that the courtyard outside the wing rooms was already full of maids and nannies. Leading among them was the Dowager Concubine Beijing, who was dressed in luxurious and bright clothes. Her beautiful eyes were as clear as water and showed a hint of anxiety under her thin and light eyebrows.

"Mother, how is Yuanchun doing in there?" Shui Rong moved closer and asked.

Concubine Beijing's voice was still somewhat anxious as she said, "The midwives have already gone in. There are several of them, all helping with the delivery. Alas, I don't know what's going on. It's really frustrating."

Shui Rong frowned and looked inside the house. The maids and old women were coming in and out in a hurry. From time to time, Yuanchun's wailing could be heard from the inner room. He couldn't help but feel worried.

The shouting was really heartbreaking.

The medical level at that time was low and there was no caesarean section, so Yuanchun could only rely on herself, which was extremely dangerous and was like a glaring gate to hell.

Taking a deep breath, Shui Rong looked at the anxious Concubine Beijing and comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. The midwife and the doctor are both very experienced. Nothing will happen. It's useless for us to worry outside, and it will affect the midwife."

The midwives were all found by Shui Rong himself. They are very experienced and can be called the Rolls-Royce of the midwifery world. There shouldn't be any problems.

Shui Rong couldn't be in a panic at this moment. The more chaotic he was, the more consequences it would have. Therefore, Shui Rong suppressed his impatience, comforted Concubine Beijing, and showed the composure of a head of the family.

Concubine Beijing stared at the young man's steady appearance, her heart relaxed a little, as if she had found her backbone, and she nodded slightly.

Yes, they are all experienced people. There is no point in worrying yourself. Being anxious will only put pressure on the midwife, which may even backfire.

Shui Rong saw that Concubine Beijing's anxious eyes and eyebrows had relaxed a little, so he stepped forward to support the beautiful lady's arm and said softly, "Mother, giving birth to a child is not something that can be done in a short time. In my opinion, mother should go back and rest first, and I will stay here to watch over you."

Shui Rong still knows a thing or two about childbirth. Giving birth is a tug-of-war, and it won't happen in a short time. After all, this is giving birth, not...
Hearing this, Concubine Beijing frowned, raised her beautiful head, stared at the young man beside her with her sparkling eyes, and said angrily: "Why, do you think I'm in the way?"

What does that mean? The nanny who was said to be interfering with the delivery is now being asked to go back. It's obvious that they think she's a nuisance and want to get rid of her.

The Beijing Concubine was furious and shouted, "You bastard, you were not here when Yuanchun was about to give birth, but now you are paying attention to her. The people below said that you had returned home a long time ago."

At this point, Concubine Beijing suddenly realized something, and she moved her beautiful head closer. She sniffed at Shui Rong with her straight nose, and a faint girl's fragrance came to her nose, mixed with a strange scent that made her heart tremble.

Sure enough, the monkey went out to hunt for food.

Shui Rong was slightly startled when she saw Concubine Beijing behave like this. An unnatural look appeared on her pretty face. She coughed lightly and said, "Mother."

In front of everyone, it was like catching a cheating husband, what a ridiculous thing to say.

Concubine Beijing also realized her own loss of composure. A faint blush appeared on her bright and beautiful face. She glared at the young man with her beautiful eyes in shame and anger, and snorted, "I'll be guarding here, don't bother me."

It was because the monkey was too annoying that she lost her composure.

When Shui Rong saw the naive behavior of Concubine Beijing's little daughter, he felt speechless. However, he had no choice but to let it go and stay with Concubine Beijing.

"what"

I don't know how much time had passed, the sky was getting a little gray, Shui Rong and Concubine Beijing were pacing in the yard. With Yuanchun's shout and the sound of a baby crying, Shui Rong couldn't help but feel relieved.

Just give birth.

After a while, a maid came out with a happy face, lifting the curtain and said with a smile: "My Lord, Concubine Dowager, the princess gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Beijing's bright face immediately lit up with joy. She waved her hand and said generously: "Okay, give the maids big red envelopes, and the maids in the courtyard will be rewarded with half a year's monthly salary, and the other maids and servants will be rewarded with double the monthly salary." Yuanchun gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Not only did the Beijing Palace have an heir to inherit, so there would no longer have to worry about the title having no heir in the future, but Shui Rong also had both a son and a daughter. It was a great blessing, how could she not reward her generously.

The nanny's face was filled with joy, and she hurriedly thanked the dowager imperial concubine respectfully. The maids in this room were rewarded with a monthly allowance for half a year, so how could they not be happy if they were not given red envelopes?

Shui Rong's eyes flickered, and he asked hurriedly, "Is the princess in serious condition?"

Admittedly, it was a good thing that Yuanchun gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, for him, but Yuanchun must not get into any trouble.

Concubine Beijing stared at the young man, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly, and she thought to herself, "This monkey is really thoughtful. Yuanchun is lucky to have met this monkey."

She had seen cases where the mother was killed and the child was kept.

Upon hearing this, the nanny hurriedly said, "In reply to your Highness, the princess is safe and sound. It's just that giving birth was too strenuous, so she's a little weak now. She'll be fine after resting for a while."

After hearing this, Shui Rong finally felt relieved. A look of delight appeared on his pretty face, and his brows were filled with happiness. He immediately walked towards the side room.

"Your Highness, the delivery room is a very dangerous place..." When the nanny saw Shui Rong coming over, she subconsciously reached out to stop him and hurriedly advised him.

Shui Rong didn't care. He reached out and pushed away the midwife's blocking hand and stepped into the side room. He walked around the screen, lifted the hanging pearl curtain, and looked intently. He saw Yuanchun lying on the embroidered couch with light yellow curtains hung with golden hooks. Her hair was disheveled, her forehead was covered with sweat, her lips were slightly open, and her face, which used to be plump and smooth, was now as pale as paper.

Yuanchun seemed to sense something. She looked up and saw the young man. She said in a weak voice with a hint of surprise, "Husband, why are you here?"

When she was giving birth, Baoqin told her that the prince and the concubine were waiting outside the yard. This made Yuanchun feel sweet. She felt an unknown strength surging in her body, which made her give birth more smoothly.

However, this delivery room is an inauspicious place. How can my husband come here?
Shui Rong stepped forward, reached out and took Yuanchun's slender hand and held it tightly, and said in a gentle voice: "Yuanchun, you have worked hard. I came to see you."

Yuanchun's heart was filled with sweetness, her eyes sparkling with sparkle, and she said happily, "My dear, I have given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, for our palace."

God bless her, after being married into the palace for more than two years, she finally gave birth to a child for the palace, and they are twins, a boy and a girl, which is a great achievement.

Shui Rong smiled slightly and said softly: "Well, my wife is the best. Well, you are tired too, you should rest more first."

"Um?."

Yuanchun was stunned, and her pale face became even more indifferent.

What’s going on? She gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, but her husband doesn’t seem to care. Could it be that he doesn’t like them?
At this moment, the midwife had washed the newborn twins and wrapped them in swaddling clothes. She walked forward with a happy look on her face and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, come and see the young master and young lady."

Shui Rong didn't care, and waved his hand and said, "Okay, I got it, leave it to Nanny to take care of it."

At this moment, not only Yuanchun had a strange look on her face, even the midwife was shocked. How could she not care at all when she gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl?

The Concubine Beijing who followed closely behind snorted softly, rolled her beautiful eyes at the young man, and spat, "You only know how to care about your wife. How can you be a father like you?"

As she spoke, Concubine Beijing looked at her adorable grandchildren in their swaddling clothes, her eyes full of tenderness, and she whispered softly, "Your father doesn't love you, but your grandmother does."

Yuanchun also came to her senses at this time. She raised her eyes to meet the young man's tender gaze. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her bright eyes were sparkling. Her heart felt sweet.

I thought my husband didn't like the child, but it turns out that his mind was only on me. Although I was happy in my heart, it was too unfair to the child.

Pursing her pink lips, Yuanchun raised her eyes and said, "Let me see the child."

She almost lost her life giving birth to the child, and as a mother she never got to see the child.

Upon hearing this, the nanny hurriedly handed the children up from the left and right.

Yuanchun stared at the two children in the cradle, as if they were connected by blood. She felt an indescribable joy welling up in her heart, and said with a smile: "Husband, come and see our child."

Shui Rong then turned his eyes to look at the baby with a slight smile on his face. He reached out and gently touched the baby's delicate face, which immediately made the child cry.

One would naturally feel close to one's own children, but Shui Rong already had a son and a daughter, so he wasn't too excited to control himself.

At this time, the distressed Concubine Beijing immediately waved her hand and slapped him, angrily saying, "Get out of here, you bastard."

This is the future of Prince Beijing's Mansion, and you dare to make her cry and pretend that she doesn't exist.

Shui Rong raised his eyes and glanced at Concubine Beijing who was taking good care of the baby, and felt speechless. Miao'er was like this, and now he was like this again. It turned out that the more children he had, the lower his status in Wan'er's heart.

Sure enough, love can be transferred.

After a pause, Shui Rong said, "Mother, please take the child to the nurse first, and let Yuanchun rest for a while."

Concubine Beijing raised her eyebrows slightly, lowered her eyes and glanced at the young man, her bright and beautiful face was serene, and she said in a clear voice: "Well, I won't disturb you two, I will take care of him myself."

As she said this, Concubine Beijing twisted her waist and led the child out.

Yuanchun's beautiful eyes twinkled, and she said softly, "Husband, you give the child a name."

Although it was gratifying that her husband cared about her, his attitude towards their child was indeed a little cold, which made Yuanchun feel a little blocked in the heart and filled with an indescribable sense of loss.

Let’s not talk about my daughter for now, my own son is destined to become the crown prince of the royal palace.

Shui Rong smiled and said, "It just so happens that I have considered names for both the boy and the girl, and they are just right for me right now. "The sun is setting in the west, and the sun is shining brightly." For the boy, I will name him "Yan". He is our eldest son, so he should be very bright. For the girl, I will name her "Han". I hope she will be full of vigor and vitality. What do you think, madam?"

Yuanchun listened to Shui Rong's explanation, her beautiful eyes lit up, her eyebrows were filled with joy, and she said, "Okay, I'll listen to my husband."

Although the husband was a little cold towards the child, he obviously put a lot of thought into the name, especially the meaning of Yan'er's name, which was in line with his status as the eldest son.

Shui Rong looked at the happy expression on the beautiful lady's face, and understood in his heart, and said with a smile: "My wife, there is one thing I must remind you, as the saying goes, 'A loving mother often spoils her son.' Yan'er is the heir of our Beijing Palace, and he is related to the honor and disgrace of the palace. You must not indulge him and learn those reckless personalities.

As the mistress of the palace, it is natural for Yuanchun's child to inherit the title, but he does not want to spoil the child for this reason. If the child becomes lawless and becomes a bastard who harms others and does evil, he will not tolerate it.

He must make this clear to Yuanchun.

Yuanchun nodded slightly and replied, "It should be so. I don't need to worry about it."

It is true that Shui Rong's words were somewhat inappropriate, but Yuanchun agreed with them deeply. As a wife, she knew her husband's temperament. His solemn warning showed that he wanted to train Yan'er to be the heir to the title.

Moreover, Yuanchun also felt that what her husband said was right. If Yan'er was really spoiled, it would be a disaster for the Prince Beijing's Mansion.

Shui Rong knew that Yuanchun was reasonable, but was afraid that as a mother, she would not be able to bear it. Seeing that she agreed, he felt relieved and said gently, "Okay, you are exhausted too. Lie down and rest first. Don't think about those things."

Upon hearing this, Yuanchun smiled sweetly and nodded slightly, then she closed her beautiful eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

She was really exhausted after giving birth to this child. (End of this chapter)
