The news that Shen Yao had given birth to three children and that she had been promoted to Concubine Xi spread from the harem.

Regardless of what the Shen family outside the palace thinks, let’s just say that the palace has exploded.

They had to explode, mainly because Shen Yao climbed to the position of concubine at a speed that they envied but could not imitate.

Moreover, it only took Shen Yao less than a year.

If this had happened a year ago, no one would have believed these words. But who could have thought that after Shen Yao entered the palace, the magic fantasy would become reality, which was really unexpected.

While everyone was watching the excitement in the Hehuan Palace, they were whispering to each other that Shen Yao must have a secret medicine for having a child.

How can one not go crazy when one accomplishes in one go what others would take several years or even decades to achieve?

Chaoyang Palace Hall

"Why is it that I drank so much medicine but my stomach still doesn't feel any pain?

Concubine Xi had only been in the palace for one year, but she gave birth to three royal heirs and became Concubine Xi.

You, go and investigate the secrets of Hehuan Palace for me quickly.

If you can't find it out, there's no need to come back!"

Zhou Ningyan pointed at the palace maid kneeling in front of her and gave her a task with a crazy look on her face.

Anyway, she doesn't care about the difficulty, she just wants to see the results.

The palace maid who was pointed out by Zhou Ningyan felt bitter, but she could only agree on the surface.

But everyone knew that the Hehuan Palace had long been tightly guarded by the emperor's men, so there was no way they could find out anything.

There are many people like Zhou Ningyan, because all the concubines who enter the palace have their own thoughts.

She wanted to win over the emperor, but couldn't; she wanted to have a child, but couldn't.

Living in such a repressive environment for a long time, there will be many perverted people.

Zhou Ningyan only asked the palace servants of Chaoyang Palace to investigate the secrets of Hehuan Palace. Some radical people even planned to get rid of the newly-appointed Concubine Xi/the three royal heirs. Anyway, such a scourge cannot be allowed to stay in the harem.

In such an atmosphere, Shen Yao happily lay on the bed and spent the third-day baptism and full-month banquets of her three children.

Among them, the third-day bathing banquet is better, the rules are still there and the scale does not exceed that of the legitimate son.

But by the time of the full-month banquet, after a month of raising the three children, who had become white and chubby, they were brought out and quickly attracted all the attention of the people who came.

These three children, in particular, looked lively, strong and energetic, in stark contrast to the three children who looked sickly at the full-moon banquet.

With a whoosh—

It was like an arrow piercing the heart. Those who had children were jealous of the fact that their three children were healthy, while those who didn't have children were jealous of Shen Yao who had three children.

At this moment, Shen Yao, who was still lying in bed recuperating after giving birth, felt as if she was being pricked all over.

Tsk tsk, the jealousy of the women in the harem is so strong.

Fortunately, Shen Yao was well prepared. All three children took a lot of pills that were good for their health. Otherwise, she would not feel comfortable letting them be taken out for a walk.

At the full moon banquet, the three children were given their own names.

The eldest son, Xiao Yanchen’s fourth son, was named Xiao Jin.

The second child, Xiao Yanchen's fifth son, was named Xiao Yu.

The third child, Xiao Yanchen’s sixth daughter and also Xiao Yanchen’s eldest daughter, was named Xiao Yue.

There is no difference in the names of boys and girls here, but when the children reach adulthood, the titles given to boys and girls will be different by one or two characters.

However, these have little impact, because the Xiao family has increasingly fewer offspring, so whether it is a prince or a princess, they are all very important.

The names of the three children were announced, followed by an imperial decree that Shen Yao would be conferred the title of Concubine Xi.

The corresponding enthronement ceremony was scheduled for the fifth day after Shen Yao came out of confinement. At that time, Shen Yao could move directly with the children to the main hall of the Weiyang Palace next door.

Oh, I have to emphasize here that even if no one lives in the Hehuan Palace, it is still Shen Yao's territory. No concubines will be arranged to live there in the future. All authority in this palace will be under the control of Shen Yao.

Some concubines who were thinking of moving here temporarily to try their luck:...

The emperor is really something. He actually blocked this way. Wouldn't that make them one step further away from getting pregnant?

People of this era are somewhat superstitious, and there is no contradiction between believing that Shen Yao has the secret recipe for having children and thinking that Shen Yao is just lucky and they can just go and get some.

So who is Xiao Yanchen? Born an emperor, he wants those he loves to live and those he hates to die.

He is very much in love with Shen Yao at the moment, and how could he allow others to defile the place where Shen Yao lives.

Besides, he also has people serving Shen Yao, who would report to him about Shen Yao's daily life on weekdays.

He knew best whether Shen Yao had the secret medicine to have a child.

Moreover, if one really places one's hopes on Shen Yao, it would be better to select new people to enter the palace according to Shen Yao's standards.

Xiao Yanchen knew clearly that Shen Yao was able to conceive twins because there was a precedent in this regard in Shen Yao's biological mother's family.

Well, in the next selection, if there are not many offspring in the harem, he can choose from families with many brothers and sisters. Anyway, when it comes to having children, one still has to choose carefully.

That’s right, even though Xiao Yanchen likes Shen Yao in his heart, he is essentially an emperor with three wives and four concubines.

It is basically impossible to expect Xiao Yanchen to remain a chaste person and live only with Shen Yao just because Shen Yao gave birth to three children for him.

Of course, Shen Yao would not have such an unrealistic girlish dream.

The reason is simple. When two people are together for a long time, they will ask for too much.

It is impossible for Shen Yao to fall in love with someone in the mission world, that would be too tiring.

But if Xiao Yanchen gave too much to her and suddenly found that Shen Yao's efforts were not worthy of what he wanted, well, Shen Yao would be terrified whenever she thought of that scene.

If it really doesn't work, she should just enjoy her life happily and complete the task of having children honestly. Nothing else matters.

Shen Yao is open-minded, so it is easier for her to control Xiao Yanchen.

She only breathed a sigh of relief when Shen Yao successfully finished her confinement, received the imperial seal and the imperial edict, and moved into the Weiyang Palace.

call

After a year of hard work, she was finally no longer an insignificant figure in the harem.

In her future life, relying on her three children, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, wealth and glory will be within her reach.

……

"Xiao Jin, tell me the truth, where did you take your brother and sister to just now?

There is no trace of you three in the entire Weiyang Palace. Are you trying to scare mother to death?"

Weiyang Palace Main Hall

Shen Yao was wearing a palace dress embroidered with large blooming acacia flowers.

At this moment, she no longer had the noble and dignified manner of Concubine Xi. She put her hands on her hips and spoke in a hurried voice, just like an old mother who was angry with her child.

Time flies, and it has been three years since Cong Shen Yao was promoted to Concubine Xi.

The three chubby kids can run, jump, play and make noises. Because they are healthy, they even play wilder than most people.

Shen Yao has been worried about the selection of concubines for the harem these days, and is afraid that her three children will be plotted against by others, so she keeps them from going out.

As it turned out, she didn't let them go out, and the three little ones ran away on their own.

Or in a way that she could hardly imagine, by crawling through a dog hole!

Dog hole?!

When Shen Yao heard these two words, she felt as if she didn't know them very well.

Please, this is the imperial palace. Normally, even if a brick or tile falls from the roof of the palace, it has to be recorded carefully. How could a dog hole appear out of nowhere?

So when the three children were playing crazily and were brought back by the servants in disgraceful clothes, Shen Yao completely lost her personality and transformed from noble and elegant into a fire-breathing dragon, scaring the three children so much that they trembled in fear and hugged themselves with their chubby little hands, not daring to speak.

"Oh! You thought it would pass if you didn't say anything? Are you still thinking of calling for help?"

Shen Yao looked at the three children with sparkling eyes and thought that they were really noisy. The entire Weiyang Palace was not enough, and they had to run to the harem to join in the fun.

It was also because the emperor had placed too many people around these three children to protect them all the time, otherwise they would have been captured long ago.

Shen Yao was furious. After thinking for a while, she sat back on the couch and didn't move.

Seeing that his mother stopped talking, Xiao Jin opened his peach blossom eyes that were exactly the same as Xiao Yanchen's and acted pitifully and coquettishly, "Mother Concubine"

Xiao Yu and Xiao Yue followed suit and pretended to be pitiful, calling out "mother" with such heartbreak.

It’s just that these two people don’t have affectionate peach blossom eyes, but almond eyes like Shen Yao, which are bright and clear, and can melt anyone’s heart.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao rubbed her head, a trace of fatigue appeared on her face. Before she could speak, she felt someone sitting next to her, and the familiar scent of Long Yan wafted out.

Shen Yao turned her head and directly reached out to hug the other person, saying in a sullen tone, "Your Majesty, please take care of them. I have no other choice."

If you insist on pampering your own child, you will end up spoiling him or her.

Shen Yao hummed in her heart, burying her head in Xiao Yanchen's arms.

She didn't want to listen to the children's explanations, because they were unreasonable and could still make excuses.

As expected of Xiao Yanchen’s offspring, each of them is extremely intelligent.

Xiao Yanchen smiled and patted Shen Yao on the shoulder. When he heard the news about Wei Zhu, he hurried over from the Taiji Hall.

Fortunately, he arrived not too late, otherwise the three children would have angered the little woman in his arms again, and he would have been unable to sleep well at night.

Three years later, Xiao Yanchen's appearance has become more mature and charming than before.

If we say that the 25-year-old Xiao Yanchen still had a hint of immaturity, the 28-year-old Xiao Yanchen was fully mature.

Both her appearance and demeanor are top-notch.

"Okay, tell Father why you dug a hole and ran away."

Xiao Yanchen was also helpless. The three children were indeed rather naughty, but as long as he thought that they were his own children, he could not bear to do anything about it.

He sighed and waved his hand towards the three children.

Xiao Yanchen asked them one by one, whispered a few words of advice, and then let Wei Zhu and Qiuyue take the children to wash and change into clean clothes.

After the people left, Xiao Yanchen took Shen Yao out of his arms again.

"Well, you're still pregnant. The three of them already know they were wrong and will never dare to do it again next time."

After Xiao Yanchen finished speaking, he looked at Shen Yao's slightly bulging belly with gentle eyes and covered it with his big hand.

During the past three years, there have been no new children in the harem. Although there were a few pregnancies occasionally, they all ended in miscarriage.

For this reason, Xiao Yanchen had conducted a thorough investigation and ruled out other people as the culprit, so the only remaining possibility was a physical problem.

Fortunately, Shen Yao was successfully diagnosed with pregnancy a few days ago, otherwise Xiao Yanchen would definitely have to select a few more girls who were good at bearing children to enter the palace in this selection.
