Chapter 621: The Foolish Woman Who Fakes Her Death for a Man (Twenty-Eight)
When she was six months pregnant, the imperial physician came to check his pulse and was absolutely certain that he was pregnant with twins.
In fact, the imperial doctors had already detected two fetal heartbeats.
However, as an imperial physician, one does not seek to be successful, but to avoid making mistakes.
They won't say it unless they are absolutely sure.
Therefore, it was not until one month into the pregnancy, when Shuangshuang's belly was even bigger than that of a full-term baby, that she was able to bring it up.
When this news came out, the entire capital was in an uproar.
Immediately, someone started a betting game, betting on whether the couple was pregnant with a boy or a girl, and the business was extremely hot.
As for Shuangshuang, she had not paid attention to that place at first, but one day Cuilan was instructed by Shuangshuang to go back to the Prince of Loyalty's Mansion.
When he came back, he had a pout and a dark face.
Shuangshuang felt very strange and asked him what had happened. Only then did she know that someone in the capital had set up a gambling game with the baby in his belly.
It doesn't matter if there are two of us, just have fun with the people.
He also ordered Cuilan, "Go get 10,000 taels of silver and bet on the twins."
Cuilan looked at Shuangshuang like a fool and said, "I'd better ask the imperial physician to come over and take your pulse before placing the bet."
"No, I have a feeling it will be twins this time.
That's it, you go early and come back early."
Seeing her princess so determined, Cuilan gritted her teeth and took out her savings of 100 taels and left the palace.
When I arrived at the gambling house, I saw that the odds for two daughters or two sons were 10 to , but the odds for twins, a boy and a girl, were to .
When Cuilan went there, there were very few people betting on twins, a boy and a girl. Most of them bet on women being pregnant with two sons at the same time.
Cuilan slammed the silver note of 10,100 taels directly on the twins on the gambling table.
"I'm betting that Princess Jianning is definitely pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl."
Seeing this, others tried to persuade him, "Girl, you should change back. There's no way they could be twins, a boy and a girl."
"Yes, come back.
We have seen a few pairs of twins, but we have never seen twin boys and girls.”
Cuilan ignored the advice of those around her and stared at the people in the gambling house.
"Why, you don't allow me to buy twins?"
The man suddenly came to his senses and said, "You can buy it, you can buy it," and then he picked up the silver note with the words "Dragon and Phoenix Twins" on it and counted them quickly.
Finally, he said to his aunt in a flattering manner?
"Guest, here are your two principals.
I will issue you a certificate right away, please wait a moment."
The young man quickly and swiftly issued a receipt, and even stamped it with the seal of their gambling house. Finally, he handed the receipt to Shuangshuang with both hands.
"Miss, please keep this receipt. If by any chance you win your bet, you can come and get the money with the receipt."
Cuilan carefully took the bag containing the credentials and quickly entered the palace.
Soon, they both reached the tenth month of pregnancy and the time for delivery.
Cuilan led a group of palace servants to make preparations in an orderly manner.
After Shuangshuang was sent to the delivery room, someone was sent to report to the empress and the emperor.
In Fengyi Palace, Sulan was massaging the queen's head.
The Queen suddenly thought of something, "Is Chang'an going to give birth in the next few days?"
"Yes, the imperial physician said that the little prince was born in the past few days."
"Over at Zhaoyang Palace, you must be extremely careful.
We should give them a good beating and prevent them from causing any trouble."
"Don't worry, Madam, I just asked this morning and everything is normal over there.
The bedding is changed every day, and the delivery room is fumigated with vinegar every day, as instructed by our princess."
The Queen was very satisfied with Sulan's work, but she still asked a routine question.
"And the baby's clothes too. The imperial physician had previously confirmed that Chang'an was pregnant with twins.
But be careful not to let anyone take advantage of you."
"Yes, Madam. The little prince's clothes were also scalded with boiling water and then dried in the sun under the supervision of a young eunuch."
Suddenly a little eunuch came crawling in.
"Your Majesty, the Queen, I'm here to tell you from Zhaoyang Palace that the Princess is about to give birth!"
"what?!"
When the queen suddenly heard that Shuangshuang was about to give birth, she was so frightened that she stood up suddenly and even knocked over the teacup on the table next to her.
The entire cup of water was used to feed her phoenix robe.
Sulan quickly took the handkerchief to wipe it, "Oh, it's so wet.
Madam, let's go change our clothes quickly."
"no, I'm fine.
The queen refused directly. She was no longer in the mood to take care of these matters.
"Sulan, go to the Imperial Hospital in person.
Bring all the gynecologists from the Imperial Hospital to Zhaoyang Palace."
"Yes, madam!"
The queen and a group of palace maids rushed to Zhaoyang Palace. Shuangshuang had not yet entered the delivery room and was leisurely eating chicken noodle soup.
When she saw the queen come in, she put down her bowl and stood up to bow. The queen took a few quick steps and supported her.
"Don't get up, don't get up. Just eat your food. Eat until you're full so you can have the strength to give birth later."
Before they finished eating the noodles, Shuangshuang said she couldn't help but go into the delivery room.
Li Xiangyu was about to catch up, but was stopped by the queen.
"Oh, my silly son.
Your princess is going to give birth to your child, why are you going in to cause trouble?"
Li Xiangyu's eyes were filled with tears. "But mother, what if my sister Shuangshuang gets scared when I'm not with her?"
"Don't worry, he won't be scared with so many people around him."
Shuangshuang was helpless, as they had just agreed with him.
He could only shout outside, "Brother Yu, you and mother wait outside. I will soon bring our child out to meet you."
Shuangshuang felt goosebumps when she called him "Brother Yu", but Li Xiangyu was very happy.
"Well, Shuangshuang, I'll wait for you to come out with mother."
The emperor rushed over after attending court and saw the queen standing there, looking anxiously at the delivery room.
Li Xiangyu was leaning against the door listening to the noise inside.
Suddenly I remembered that when the eldest princess was born, I was also so anxious and worried.
I can't wait to rush in to accompany her and protect her.
But after so many things happened, he and the queen grew further and further apart.
I have more and more children, but I no longer feel the same excitement as before.
Shuangshuang pretended to be in there for more than an hour and then gave birth to the child.
Outside were the Emperor and Empress Li Xiangyu, as well as the King of Zhongyi and his wife who had rushed over after hearing the news.
When they heard two loud cries coming from inside, they stood up with joy in an instant.
"Born, born!"
The Queen clasped her hands together and said, "May our ancestors bless us! This is truly wonderful!"
After the midwife wrapped the baby, she came out holding one baby each.
"This servant congratulates the Emperor and the Empress on the birth of twins, a boy and a girl!"
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and laughed happily.
"Twins! Twins! Hahahaha, God bless our Daqing!"
Princess Zhongyi and the Queen took the baby from the midwife's hands, and then looked at the baby in each other's hands, and were very happy.
