Chapter 1101: Chapter 1098_1

Mrs. Liu felt a bit regretful in her heart, wondering why Xiao’er didn’t have a son. That way, she wouldn’t always have to worry.

Mrs. Liu didn’t dislike daughters, but she was just worried that if all of Xiao’er’s children were girls, it would be difficult for her to establish a firm foothold in her husband’s family, especially given the noble family she had married into.

Yet, she comforted Xiao’er, saying, "Xiao’er, it’s fine. You’ve given birth to four daughters this time, next time you can have four sons!"

Even Shen Chengyao was staggered when Xiao’er gave birth to four daughters all at once. The number of daughters produced in one birth exceeded the number of daughters he had fathered in his entire life. He felt his own daughters were truly amazing.

Hearing Mrs. Liu’s words, Xiao’er couldn’t help but say: "Mother, please don’t scare me!"

She had just given birth and couldn’t sustain any shock! She could suffer major blood loss if she weren’t careful! Having another set of quadruplets next time, did they think she was a sow?

"Mother, Xiao’er gave birth to two sets of twins." Knowing that Mrs. Liu was misunderstanding, Shangguan Xuanyi, who also understood her worries, explained.

"Two sets of twins? Two boys and two girls?" Mrs. Liu reacted and asked.

Shangguan Xuanyi confirmed with good spirits: "Yes."

For the first time, Shangguan Xuanyi felt his life was entirely perfect.

After a sigh of relief, Mrs. Liu couldn’t help but rejoice: "No wonder a rainbow appeared in the sky and the entire sky was filled with colorful auspicious clouds! This is a great joy!"

She knew that her daughter was a very lucky person. How could she suddenly give birth to four daughters to scare her!

"But why are they all dressed in girls’ clothes?" Shen Chengyao asked in confusion. Even though he didn’t feel there was anything wrong with having four daughters, twins were, after all, quite rare. People always thought that only those with great fortune could give birth to twins. As for Xiao’er giving birth to two sets of twins at once, of course that was better than having four daughters at once! This meant they instantly had both a boy and a girl, wasn’t this a double blessing!

Everyone turned to look at Xiao’er upon hearing this.

Xiao’er couldn’t help but curse Bai Tian in her heart: "Bai Tian, you’ve gone too far! You lied to me saying they are all girls!"

She had prepared girl clothes because of this, what if her sons thought she was biased!

Bai Tian protested upon hearing her words: "Master, when did I lie to you? You asked me whether you were carrying two girls, and I said yes! Didn’t you indeed give birth to two little princesses? Where did I go wrong!"

Xiao’er: She should have known, Bai Tian always tricked her like this. She won’t play with him again!"

Xiao’er glared angrily at Doctor Luo: "Why did you say I was carrying twins?"

Doctor Luo: "The pulse of multiple births is a little different from that of single births. But for triplets or more, it’s rare and I have less experience. Moreover, typically those who give birth to multiples have the same gender. Situations where a woman gives birth to two sets of twins in one go are extremely rare. I’ve been practicing medicine for most of my life and never encountered such a case. Princess, please forgive my lack of knowledge! If you were to conceive two sets of twins again, I think I’ll be able to identify it from your pulse."

Hearing his words, Xiao’er replied with dissatisfaction: "Get out! I won’t give birth again!"

All the stories about the ’Empress giving birth in ten months’ are deceitful. Being pregnant for ten months initially involved having difficulty eating, then not being able to sleep well, and losing personal freedom. A person would end up like a goose. She didn’t want to give birth again, nor did she want to be a penguin!

Shangguan Xuanyi nodded: "Alright, no more birthing."

He originally intended this, as Xiao’er’s pregnancy was too exhausting, and he couldn’t relax much either. Not to mention bearing fright, but also becoming a monk for ten months. The experience of having to pour several buckets of cold water on oneself every night to quench the lust, who would understand?

Mrs. Liu wanted to object that they were so young and had just had their first birth, why not have more children? But she thought, even if Xiao’er accidentally conceived later on, she ultimately couldn’t avoid giving birth. So, she held her peace.

Some women’s physiques made it difficult to conceive a first child. But once they gave birth for the first time, it became much easier to conceive again. Mrs. Liu felt Xiao’er was among those women.

At this time, Shangguan Xuanyi spoke: "Doctor Luo, could you take a look and see how Xiao’er and the children are?"

"Alright!" Doctor Luo first examined Xiao’er’s pulse: "The young lady has no issues. However, during your postpartum recovery, you must behave well and rest as much as possible— no washing your hair, no baths, no exposure to wind, no cold drinks, and no eating..."

Doctor Luo listed ten prohibitions, and Xiao’er, who was already exhausted, only fell more tired listening to his words and promptly fell asleep.

Seeing this, Shangguan Xuanyi tucked Xiao’er under a blanket. It was okay if the young lady didn’t want to listen; he would remember these prohibitions himself.

Doctor Luo also checked the vital signs of the quadruplets: "Although the two princes and princesses are a little thin, their bodies are all very strong. You can rest assured, Prince."

Though Shangguan Xuanyi already knew the children were very healthy from their vigorous spirits, it was only after hearing Doctor Luo’s words that he truly felt relieved.

Just as Shangguan Xuanyi thought of sending everyone out since the children and Xiao’er were sleeping, the Empress, devoid of her usual grace and calm, hurried in: "I heard that I have four more grandchildren. Where are they?"

Upon hearing in the palace that Xiao’er had given birth to two sets of twins and the sky bestowed great blessings, the Empress could no longer wait and rushed out of the palace to see her grandchildren!

Two sets of twins! It’s simply rare in this world!

The Empress’ voice awoke Xiao’er, making Shangguan Xuanyi’s face darken.

"Mother, Xiao’er and the children are sleeping. Could you keep your voice down?"

The Empress quickly covered her mouth to show that she wouldn’t make any more noise.

However, after seeing the four children in female dress, the Empress was confused: did Xiao’er give birth to six in one go? Four girls and two boys?

She couldn’t help but look around: "Wasn’t it said that she gave birth to two sets of twins? Where are the other two grandsons?"

Upon hearing these words, everyone turned to look at Xiao’er, their eyes full of blame. It was all due to this ruthless mother that even though someone else had prepared boys’ clothes, she didn’t let them wear them. Because she wanted the first clothes of the children’s lives to be made by her hands, she cruelly let her sons wear girls’ clothes. Was this really a loving mother?

Seeing everyone looking at Xiao’er, Shangguan Xuanyi said: "It’s easier to take care of the children when they are all dressed the same. So, both the princes and princesses are wearing the same clothes."

So that’s why. The Empress nodded understandingly. Afterward, looking at the four children, she said: "Who’s the eldest among these four children? But all four look like girls! They look quite pretty in girl’s clothes. Later, I’ll also make four identical dresses for them to wear."

People: " ..."

Xiao’er felt a little guilty towards her two sons. She really only wanted the first set of clothes in her children’s lives to be hand-made by her. If she had known there were boys in her belly, she definitely wouldn’t have made only girls’ clothes!

She truly wasn’t a biased mother!
