My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare! -
Chapter 563 - 361 Li Xuanjing's Promise
Chang'an
Luxurious carriages stopped at the entrance of Ningxin Garden.
Inside Ningxin Garden.
Old Mrs. Song clasped her hands together, constantly murmuring prayers.
Two women from the Song Family supported her, occasionally glancing at the tightly closed door ahead.
Su Qing paced back and forth in the courtyard, remembering the pain she experienced when she gave birth to Jiaren and Yiren, and couldn't help but feel worried.
Song Zhe held her hand, comforting, "Don't worry, with Li Nuo inside, everything will be fine."
King Chun and Li Xuanjing stood at a distance. He glanced at Li Yun next to him, feeling displeased.
Li Yun sensed his father's gaze and quietly moved away.
"Wah!"
A baby's cry from the delivery room put everyone's anxious hearts at ease.
Soon after, the door of the delivery room opened, and Yiren came out with a swaddled infant in each arm.
Su Qing immediately approached.
She looked at the identical little ones in Yiren's arms, a smile appeared on her face, and she gently touched their tender cheeks, saying, "So beautiful, just like you were then..."
Shortly afterward, another baby's cry was heard, and soon Phoenix also came out with a swaddled infant.
This time King Chun hurried forward immediately. Looking at the infant, he beckoned to Li Xuanjing, saying, "Xuanjing, come quickly and see, this little one's eyes are just like Anning's..."
As everyone outside gathered around the three newly born Li Family children, inside the delivery room, Li Nuo's hand slowly moved away from Anning's abdomen.
Under the healing of Medical School's True Qi, the incision on her abdomen had completely disappeared.
At the same time, the skin on her abdomen had become soft and fair, just like before pregnancy.
Having just helped Jiaren with all this, Li Nuo felt a bit tired, but the satisfaction in his heart overwhelmed all physical exhaustion.
He held Jiaren and Anning's hands, saying, "Thank you for your hard work..."
After his words, Yiren and Phoenix brought the children inside, Old Mrs. Song, Mother-in-law, and several Song Family women also entered the room.
Jiaren and Anning held their children, naturally showing a smile Li Nuo had never seen before.
Li Nuo left the room, and King Chun said with a smile, "Congratulations, you'll be a father now!"
Li Nuo smiled back, "Thank you, Uncle Chun."
For the Li Family, which had a single lineage, today was undoubtedly a joyous occasion.
King Chun held a banquet in Ningxin Garden, bringing over all the chefs from the King Mansion, preparing a birthday feast for the Li Family's little lords and ladies.
A month ago, Li Nuo had arranged the infant rooms.
Li Yun personally crafted three cradles, and the small ones lay in them, sleeping soundly as the cradles rocked automatically.
Li Nuo squatted by the window, happily watching them.
He hadn't expected Jiaren and Anning to give birth on the same day.
The three little ones were born within seven minutes apart, first Jiaren's twins, then his and Anning's daughter.
The Song Family and Royal genes were indeed strong, the siblings had much resemblance to Jiaren and Yiren, Anning's daughter's eyebrows reflected her face.
Li Yun and Li Nuo squatted side by side by the cradle, watching the three small ones. Suddenly, Li Yun asked, "You have so many children, if Anning Aunt ever has another boy, will you give me one?"
Li Nuo didn't even look at him, replying without hesitation, "Buzz off."
Li Yun sighed, considering the Royal bloodline in Anning's aunt, adopting their children wouldn't likely face any objections from his father, even for the throne's succession.
However, this was merely his temporary thought.
Whether his father could ascend the throne remained uncertain.
He dropped the subject, asking, "Have you named them yet?"
Li Nuo hadn't decided on their names yet.
Regarding this, he had discussed with Jiaren and Anning long before, had multiple names prepared, but hadn't finalized them to this day.
Even Jiaren, usually decisive in matters, was indecisive over this.
A child's name often carries a certain meaning, containing parents' expectations.
For example, "Yu" in Song Yu, signifies beautiful jade. Names associated with jade imply hopes for prominence as they grow up, like Song Yu and Zhou Yu.
Girls' names should be simpler, Jiaren, Yiren, embody beauty, Anning suggests peace. The character "Dai" often evokes beauty, gracefulness, matching Phoenix well.
Li Yun suddenly asked curiously, "By the way, why did Uncle Li name you Li Nuo?"
Li Nuo couldn't possibly know, maybe his father hoped he would be honest and trustworthy?
Or perhaps, he had some commitment to someone?
He shook his head, saying, "I don't know either, why are you asking this?"
Li Yun sighed, "If you were not named Li Nuo, I wouldn't be Li Yun either..."
Li Nuo asked curiously, "What's your name got to do with mine?"
Li Yun said, "I wasn't always Li Yun, after my father met your uncle, he changed my name. When I asked, he said Nuo and Yun sound nice together..."
Li Nuo was taken aback, asking, "What was your name before?"
Li Yun sighed, "I was called Li Xuan until I was eight. After my father suddenly changed it, it took me two years to get used to..."
Li Nuo's lips moved, thinking this was something unreliable that King Chun could do.
Setting aside the origin of Li Yun's name, Li Nuo looked at the children sleeping soundly, the naming of them couldn't be delayed any longer.
He and Jiaren were undecided, so Li Nuo handed all the prepared names to his father to decide.
From the dozens of names Li Nuo and Jiaren prepared for their son, his father chose "Li Yan."
According to Daxia traditions, single-character names were considered valuable.
Ordinary people might not care about this, but men from noble and large families typically had single-character names, like Song Tai, Song Lian, Song Zhe, etc.
During his father's generation, the Li Family wasn't considered a large household, hence didn't adhere to this custom.
As the eldest son of the Li Family, his name needed to be grand and stable, not frivolous.
Yan, symbolizing clear skies.
The original meaning of "Yan" is "bright," also has connotations of "stable," with its form reflecting this. Li Nuo and Jiaren hoped he would possess a gentle personality while being righteous.
When naming with Jiaren, the siblings' names were paired together.
Brother named Li Yan, sister named Li Nian.
From the names prepared for Anning, she ultimately chose Li Zhi.
In the palace she lived in as a child, it was full of gardenias, her Mother loved these flowers dearly.
Holding the paper with the names, Li Nuo walked out of his father's study, unable to resist turning back to ask, "Father, why did you and Mother name me Li Nuo?"
Li Xuanjing stood by the window, looking out softly, "You will understand in time."
Getting no answer, Li Nuo shook his head and left.
A moment later, Li Xuanjing walked to a standing cabinet in the study, opened its door, silently gazing at the dozen spirit tablets inside for a long time.
After closing the cabinet door, he went to the desk, retrieved a small brocade box from the depths of its drawer.
Opening the brocade box, looking at the jade hairpin inside, he whispered, "Their children were born today, I promised, you will definitely see them..."
