Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 694 - 497: Little Crybaby, Beautiful and Charming, The Rugged Man Spoils His Wife with Seduction 47
When the Palace Attendant of the bedroom saw Ji Xiaoyuan return, they knew their chores would be snatched away again.
And indeed, their guess proved correct. After Ji Xiaoyuan returned, he practically involved himself in all trivial matters concerning Su Zhiruan.
He even personally sought advice from the wet nurse, personally formulated meals, ensuring Su Zhiruan had better days than the Emperor.
Ji Xiaoyuan handled matters meticulously, and this spread beyond the palace, leaving everyone astonished.
Su Zhiruan received her Newbie Gift Package, which had already alleviated much of her physical discomfort. As her pregnancy advanced, the Imperial Physician diagnosed twins, which caught Su Zhiruan off guard.
Under the care of nearly indulgent palace attendants, time swiftly moved to July of the following year.
By now, under Su Zhiruan’s governance, the Wan Dynasty had already escaped the impoverished and weakened state with bloated bureaucracy under the Old Emperor’s rule, and the chaos and degeneracy of the late Emperor’s reign, aligning the people’s hearts, and the economy and agriculture gradually developed.
The petitions transformed significantly from Su Zhiruan initially having to stay up all night to read them, to now only major events reaching her desk daily.
Ji Xiaoyuan worried about her toil over national affairs, and went ahead to handle part of the politics himself.
Initially, the courtiers were worried whether Ji Xiaoyuan harbored ill intentions, as he was the Dynasty Regent King.
But over time, they came to accept that as the Regent King handled governmental affairs, he simply addressed them with pure intentions, having no malice. Ji Xiaoyuan’s entire focus was on Your Royal Highness the Princess.
Soon, the day for Su Zhiruan to give birth was approaching.
She herself was not overly anxious, even leisurely flipping through and studying tomes about tending flowers, whereas Ji Xiaoyuan and a group of attendants, wet nurses, female officials, palace maids, eunuchs, and others were anxiously bustling about, along with courtiers and citizens who were curious about whether Su Zhiruan would change her decision not to claim the imperial throne if she had children, giving them a chance to enter the harem.
At that moment, all of this was unknown and irrelevant to Su Zhiruan.
"Ruanruan, what would you like to eat? I’ll make it for you," Ji Xiaoyuan asked, holding her hand without taking a step away.
Su Zhiruan shook her head, "I don’t have an appetite for anything. I might as well further study this book since I have time."
Ji Xiaoyuan accompanied her in researching how to tend to flowers.
Halfway through the study.
Su Zhiruan calmly handed the book to Ji Xiaoyuan, "I think—I’m going to give birth!"
She appeared calm, but Ji Xiaoyuan immediately stood up anxiously, "Wait here! I’ll call for help right away!"
Recently, with Su Zhiruan about to give birth, whether it was the Imperial Physician, wet nurse, or midwife, they were all stationed by her side at all times, especially since no one else in the palace was pregnant, all manpower had been gathered here for this moment!
When labor contractions started, Su Zhiruan’s Newbie Gift Package made the pain less apparent, and when she called for help, she was already in the middle of childbirth.
"Your Highness—Push! Push!"
"Follow the breath of this old servant. Look at this old servant’s movements!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
"Born, born! The baby’s head is out!"
...
In the instant the two babies were delivered, Su Zhiruan felt her belly suddenly flatten, and her whole body relaxed substantially.
The midwives beamed with joy, "We congratulate Your Highness! It’s a pair of twins, a dragon and phoenix!"
"This is an immense joy! Your Highness—"
Su Zhiruan felt somewhat sleepy. She glanced at the two small, just-born infants and smiled, then let the wet nurses handle the follow-up, and fell into a deep sleep.
Ji Xiaoyuan was outside the door, anxiously restless, eager to rush in to check on Su Zhiruan. Seeing the two infants, he felt even more concerned for Su Zhiruan and hastily asked the wet nurse, "How is Your Highness?"
"Prince Consort, don’t worry, Your Highness and the children are all safe. Now, Your Highness is asleep."
Ji Xiaoyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, although he thought of Su Zhiruan lying on the bed giving birth, he still felt tender-hearted, resolute to treat her even better from now on!
