On the fifth day of the fourth month of the eleventh year of Yuanhe, Shen Yao, who was nine months pregnant, gave birth safely to twin boys and girls in the Weiyang Palace.

The boy and girl twins, although not as good as the triplets Shen Yao gave birth to earlier, are also a unique wonder in the harem.

As soon as the two children were born, Xiao Yanchen, regardless of the Queen's expression, directly promoted Shen Yao to Concubine Xi.

Not only that, Xiao Yanchen also rewarded Shen Yao with many treasures from his private treasury. Even the Shen family outside the palace benefited from it. They knelt in front of the bright yellow edict and praised the emperor's grace.

On the day of the third bath, Xiao Yanchen named the twins Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhi.

The entire harem was filled with joy and excitement under the leadership of Xiao Yanchen.

Xiao Yanchen was even more exaggerated. After dealing with government affairs, he kept running to the Weiyang Palace. Unfortunately, the Empress Dowagers of the East and West Palaces were unable to go out, and the Emperor Retired was in Yichang Garden and had no control over the affairs of the palace. No one could persuade Xiao Yanchen, who was in a high position, and they could only let him do whatever he wanted.

"What do you mean by following one's heart? The fact that the Emperor likes to come to my Weiyang Palace is my own ability.

What, are those people jealous? Just lure the emperor over yourself."

Lying in bed during her confinement period, Shen Yao drank the nourishing soup brought by Qiuyue while complaining to Qiuyue about the messy things in the harem.

In Shen Yao's opinion, those people who spread gossips were all idle and had nothing to do, and could only make a living by making sour remarks.

Qiuyue nodded in agreement, "That's right. Your Majesty has given birth to five heirs for the Emperor, so it's only natural that the Emperor should love your Majesty more."

Why not come to Weiyang Palace and go to other palaces in the harem? No one is moving, and it would be a waste of time to go there. The emperor is not a fool.

Furthermore, the Empress and the Emperor have a very good relationship and they can talk for a long time even through a screen. Compared with the Emperor's attitude towards other people in the harem, it is normal for the Emperor to come to Weiyang Palace. Those who spread rumors are just ugly people causing trouble.

No matter what Qiuyue thought or said, since everyone inside and outside the Weiyang Palace was their own people, they were not afraid of these words being spread out.

Besides, aren't there enough gossips about Weiyang Palace? Qiuyue is almost annoyed to death by these people who talk about the slightest disturbance.

Shen Yao finished drinking the tonic in her hand and adjusted the thin blanket covering her body.

As the weather gets warmer day by day, Shen Yao's pregnancy is going as smoothly as her previous one.

The imperial physician said that her health had recovered well and she did not need to stay in confinement for forty days, but only thirty-five days would be enough.

"I haven't been going out recently, and I don't know if people outside will say that I'm a monster.

You need to keep a close eye on them, especially those around the children, so as not to let others take advantage of the situation."

Having a child is not just about giving birth to the child, but also about raising the child successfully and nurturing him into an adult.

But now Shen Yao is a royal concubine, so she doesn't need to raise the children into adults. Shen Yao only needs to ensure that the children are healthy and safe, and the rest will be arranged by the children's biological father.

Qiuyue nodded in agreement, not forgetting to help her master tidy up the bedding.

Confinement after childbirth is a delicate job. If it is not done properly, it will affect the health of the patient.

Qiuyue hoped that her master would always be favored and have children, and that they in the Weiyang Palace would always be high and mighty.

So when it comes to serving people, Shen Yao is sometimes not as careful as Qiuyue.

However, Shen Yao still enjoyed Qiuyue's care. Her life of having everything provided for her, fine clothes and delicious food, and oral pleasure made her decadent and at ease. If it could be like this every time, she could still fight for a few more worlds.

There is no way. Even if Shen Yao was just an ordinary modern person in his first life, he would gradually become corrupt after enjoying the pleasure of exploiting others.

Moreover, Shen Yao had betrayed some unique human emotions as early as when she signed the system.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult to adapt to different worlds with modern values.

At the moment Shen Yao is performing very well. She doesn't really care about anything. While working hard to complete her tasks, she can also live a good life in each of her own worlds, feeling fulfilled and satisfied.

……

Shen Yao stayed in confinement for a full thirty-five days before she stepped out of the gate of Weiyang Palace.

In order to have a good confinement period, Shen Yao didn't even pay much attention to the full-month banquets for her two children.

Fortunately, Xiao Yanchen is in charge of all these matters, so Shen Yao doesn't have to worry about anything. Occasionally, she can hear the grand scene described by Qiuyue, and even if she doesn't pay attention to it, she can still understand a thing or two.

"Niang Niang"

Wearing a cool palace dress, Shen Yao was shining with gold from head to toe.

Reaching out her jade-white wrist and placing it on the back of Qiuyue's hand, Shen Yao touched the hairpins hanging down on both sides of her head and said, "Let's go. It's been a few months since I left the house. I'm afraid the people in the harem won't recognize me."

Holding a round fan embroidered with pink butterflies in her hand, Shen Yao waved it as she walked, and also took along her three children who had been complaining that she didn't play with them much recently.

"Mother, shall we go to the garden?"

"Mother, my son wants to go to the pond to see the fish."

"Fifth brother, fish is not important, let's go pick flowers, okay?"

"..."

When the three children gathered together, it was like hundreds of ducks quacking.

Shen Yao sighed, thinking that every time she had to take care of a child, she would become anxious.

It’s not that I dislike the child. After all, he is my own child and I don’t think he is bad no matter what. But I just make noises.

No matter which world it is, a child of this age cannot be reasoned with and can only tough it out.

Shen Yao encouraged herself in her heart, don't be afraid, everything will be fine when the children grow up and become sensible.

By then, she could just be a hands-off boss, lying back in the Weiyang Palace and living a leisurely retirement life.

"Jin'er, take good care of your brothers and sisters. We are going to the garden today. There are many people there. You can't leave mother's sight."

Shen Yao called Xiao Jin, the oldest of the three children, and bent down to give instructions to Xiao Jin.

Fortunately, Xiao Jin was already used to his mother's behavior. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother. I will take good care of my brothers and sisters."

Shen Yao smiled like a flower, "Be good, mother's Jin'er is the most obedient."

Xiao Jin: My mother is always like this. Of course I have to choose to understand.

The young Xiao Jin sighed cutely. There was nothing he could do, he was a man. His mother always told him what to do. Xiao Jin had heard it so many times and felt that what his mother said made sense. Although it was a little strange, it was definitely for his own good.

"Mother, my son will obey you."

Xiao Jin clenched his fists with full energy, then ran to Xiao Yu and Xiao Yue, holding up the two bickering twins on the left and right, "Let's go, Fourth Brother will take you to the garden."

"Fourth Brother"

"Fourth Brother"

Xiao Yu and Xiao Yue like to bicker with each other on a daily basis, and neither of them is willing to give in to the other.

But when facing Xiao Jin, they were both very well behaved.

She is well-behaved, walks quietly, and even says nice things to coax her brother.

Shen Yao walked behind and looked at the three children huddled together and occasionally laughing, and shook her head with amusement.

Children's emotions are really hard for adults to understand.

When Shen Yao went out, she brought her three children with her, and there was a huge group of palace servants surrounding her.

With so many people going to the garden, they had already alarmed the surrounding neighbors before they even arrived.

Some are joining in the fun, some have other thoughts, and some are indifferent.

Anyway, when Shen Yao was sitting in the pavilion beside the pond, fanning herself with a round fan and enjoying the beautiful scenery, many other concubines had already gathered around her.

They all had their own little thoughts, but without exception, they all treated Shen Yao with utmost respect and tried to please her.

Shen Yao felt that things were changing. He looked down on her before, but now he was willing to humble himself and lower himself to her.

But there was no point in trying to please her. Shen Yao had no power in the palace, and she couldn't give them elixirs. She seldom left Weiyang Palace on weekdays.

"Everyone, please take a seat. I am going out today just because a few children want to go out for a walk.

If you have nothing else to do, please go back to the palace while the sun is shining."

At this time, there is no sunscreen to protect her. She has a fertility system and can take drugs to maintain her physical condition, but others do not have this plug-in. Simply relying on the Imperial Medical Bureau to treat diseases and save lives is not enough.

Shen Yao spoke directly, and some of the concubines who came over were so shy that they blushed from head to toe, and seemed to think it would be shameless to stay any longer.

She timidly said, "I'm leaving," and then several people came out one after another.

Some people leave, but some people stay. There are also a few thick-skinned ones, all of whom are old people in the palace. They no longer care about face issues. What they care more about are the benefits they can get from Shen Yao.

For example, Shen Yao would always run into the emperor whenever she went out. Although this didn’t happen every time, it was the majority of the time.

Everyone also wanted to leave some impression in front of the emperor, and maybe even serve the emperor for a night. It would be even better if they got pregnant.

"Empress Xi, we have nothing to do in the palace, so I hope you don't mind if we stay here to bother you."

"Her Royal Concubine Xi is kind-hearted, how could she mind? You made it sound like she was an unreasonable person."

"I, I don't mean that. Her Majesty Xi is kind and amiable, and of course she is very good."

"Let's come over and talk to Concubine Xi. What do you think?"

"..."

Shen Yao looked at the concubines in front of her who were dressed in red and green, talking to themselves and cooperating with each other, and she just wanted to scream to the sky. It was too bloody.

It seems that the women in the harem are really trying hard to win favor.

What a pity. Xiao Yanchen is very busy today. It would be good if he could come to Weiyang Palace for dinner in the evening. As for these concubines who have put so much thought into him, well, they should just give up as soon as possible.

Shen Yao looked at the people in front of her with pity, but smiled without saying anything. She said nothing and did nothing. She just watched them perform.

The concubines who stayed behind: ...awkward

"Stop standing, sit down," Shen Yao pointed while holding her round fan, "You are right, I am pregnant and have given birth, and it has been a few months since we last met, it would be nice to talk."

"Ha, who said it wasn't? It's nice to talk."

"Yes, Concubine Xi, you don't know that the harem has been in a state of chaos these days..."

Shen Yao listened with great interest and occasionally made a comment.

As for Qiuyue who was beside him, she had already run off to look after Xiao Jin's three children.

The three children stood by the pond and directed the palace servants to catch and release the fish, having a lot of fun.

Until a female voice came from not far away, interrupting the harmonious scene before their eyes——
