Chapter 1567: Chapter 1574: Dragon-Phoenix Triplets (3)
“Your Majesty!”
Seeing her son about to enter the birthing chamber, Empress Dowager Mo stopped him and said, “The Empress has just given birth, and the birthing room is impure. It’s easy to invite calamity and bloodshed. Ordinary men do not enter, let alone Your Majesty with such a precious body. Your Majesty should not go in right now…”
In this era, men are very superstitious about entering the birthing chamber, thinking it impure and believing it will bring misfortune.
However, before she could finish her words, Nangong Yi had already rushed into the birthing chamber like a gust of wind. His speed was so fast that he knocked over the maid coming out to report the news.
Colliding with the Emperor is a grave crime. The maid, being a seasoned elder and quite cunning, quickly got up before Nangong Yi could speak, knelt on the ground, and happily said, “Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Empress has given birth to another little prince.”
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yi was very pleased. As an emperor, there is no one who does not wish to expand their lineage. Now that he not only has both sons and daughters but also has gained two sons at once, how could he not be happy?
He did not pursue the maid’s crime of impropriety, only said lightly, “Go out and tell the Empress Dowager and them!”
The maid, seeing her crime against the sovereign left unresolved, was overjoyed and hurriedly left…
…
In the birthing chamber, Cai Wei was still awake. Her face was not yet dry from sweat, with some wet hair sticking to it. Nangong Yi carefully brushed it aside for her. Their eyes met, and Cai Wei’s gaze was filled with indescribable joy and satisfaction, while Nangong Yi’s eyes were full of tenderness, saying, “Does it still hurt?”
Of course, it was painful, but looking at the tiny bundle born, Cai Wei couldn’t feel any pain at all. Instead, she was grateful for this pain, which made her clearly realize it wasn’t a dream and she had become a mother!
Cai Wei first nodded and then smiled, shaking her head, “It doesn’t hurt.” Even if it did, she gladly accepted it.
How could Nangong Yi believe her words? Although he was a man, he understood how much pain childbirth involved, especially with the sweat on her head and her bitten lips, all indicating how much pain she had just endured.
He held her hand and said, “Wei’er, we already have three children, and we won’t have more in the future.” He couldn’t bear to let her endure such pain again, not to mention how dangerous childbirth was.
Moreover, having three children at once, he was already satisfied.
Upon hearing this, Cai Wei couldn’t help but smile gently.
Although she might really not have any more children in the future, hearing Nangong Yi’s words still made her feel very comforted.
“Yi, where are our children?” Cai Wei asked. At the time, she was in too much pain and only got a quick glance when they were born. She hadn’t had a good look yet.
“The children have been taken out for Imperial Mother and your mother to see. Oh, just now outside, Imperial Mother and your mother were even having a disagreement over who our daughter looks like!”
Nangong Yi laughed as he recounted what had happened outside the birthing chamber. Cai Wei laughed and said, “The children are so small, how can they tell who they look like? Truly two little old kids!”
But Nangong Yi said, “How can they not see it? To me, our daughter definitely resembles you. With that, he ordered the maid to bring all three children in!”
The stable woman came over holding the children. Cai Wei looked at one, then another, each one making her utterly fond. Her gaze fell on the wrinkled little faces of the children, tears welling in her eyes. She looked at Nangong Yi and said, “I’ve become a mother, Yi, I’ve become a mother!”
Nangong Yi emotionally said, “I have also become a father, Wei’er. Thank you for giving me three children. Be good, you mustn’t cry during your confinement, be careful of your eyes.”
