Same light

There was chaos in the Holy Golden Palace and the Holy White Pagoda.

The queen woke up, but the reason why everyone was flustered was not that the queen woke up, but that when the queen woke up, the emperor suddenly wanted to change the names of the crown prince and prince who had registered last night for some reason.

It is a big deal to register the names of the princes, because after the new royal family is born, it is necessary to inform the gods.The senior attendants of the Holy Golden Palace, the secretaries and civil servants, and the servants of the Holy White Tower ran in and out. All the procedures that were so hard to go through overnight last night had to go through again.

Fortunately, due to the absence of the high priest, the final blessing ceremony has not yet been held. Although changing the name is troublesome, it is not impossible.

For a long time to come, this court anecdote was one of the topics that the attendants talked about in private.People working in the palace actively speculated why the emperor suddenly changed his mind overnight, until several months later, the empress told his personal servants that it was because he was dissatisfied with the names of the two princes after waking up and asked the emperor to change their names.

With the queen's personal answer, these private discussions and speculations finally subsided.

No one could have imagined that this answer was fabricated by Xiu in order to save Alfred's face.The truth is that their emperor only cared about the situation of the queen, and completely misunderstood the sex of the child, and the secretary and civil officer in charge of the registration were frightened by the emperor's violent mood at the time and did not dare to question it.

Xiu Ban leaned on the bed and looked through the medical examination reports of the newborn twins. Alfred leaned over the bed, buried his face in the sheets, unwilling to face the reality.

"Okay, isn't it just a mistake about whether it's the prince or the princess?" Xiu calmly touched two messy golden hairs, "Brother will settle it for you, and no one else will know."

Alfred raised his head and said in grief and indignation: "How could no one tell me!"

"According to what Themis described last night, the doctor who delivered the baby did mention the word 'Little Prince' to you," Xiu Gong said, "It's just that you didn't take it seriously and interrupted him. Then start asking me about my situation."

Alfred knew he was in the wrong, so he could only complain in a low voice: "I can't believe that, besides you who is sleeping, I am the last person in this palace who knows the sex of the child."

Xiu's movement of flipping through the report paused subtly.

This moment was captured by Alfred. He narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Wait... Did you already know?"

"Hmm." Xiu replied vaguely, "It's not too early..."

Alfred looked at him in shock, unable to accept the fact.

"When did you know?! Why didn't you tell me!"

Xiu looked at Alfred's crazy look with a smile, and said, "I hinted that you should ask the doctor, it doesn't matter if you say so or not."

Alfred wanted to say something, but someone knocked on the door of the ward outside, probably the doctors and nurses brought the child.

To be honest, from last night to now, Alfred hasn't even glanced at the child yet.

"Come in," he said.

The two looked towards the door together, only to see several white-clothed medical staff pushing two huge transparent boxes in.

The two boxes were full of pipes of different thicknesses. For a moment, Alfred was a little confused. He remembered that his order was to bring the child over. He didn't know why they pushed two big boxes in. .

But soon, he saw it—a small little person was lying in each of the big transparent boxes.

The doctors and nurses bowed to the emperor and empress, and then began to introduce the situation of the two little highnesses.Xiu listened carefully, and while listening, Alfred got up and stood beside the two boxes, looking down at the two sleeping babies with their eyes tightly closed.

They were so small, Alfred thought to himself, each child was no bigger than his own hand.The twin babies would have been smaller than normal babies when they were born, plus they were born prematurely. He was mentally prepared, but he didn't expect to be so small.

Such small two, Alfred looked at them for a long time but couldn't see who they resembled more.

They were taken out before they matured, and their skin now has a sense of transparency. Every time the heart beats, the chest cavity can be seen with the naked eye. It seems that they are working hard to survive.

Until then, Alfred felt a little distressed in his heart.

His children were taken out so early because of his decision.Thinking of this, Alfred felt a little guilty.

However, even if it happened a hundred times again, he would still make the same decision.

Xiu Ban sat on the hospital bed, and his eyes also fell on the two little children in the incubator, but he looked more with a certain kind of scrutiny.

"Which one is Carlo?" he asked.

Alfred raised his head when he heard the words, and wanted to know which one was the elder brother and which was the younger brother.

"You mean..." The face of the chief surgeon last night was slightly distorted, "...His Royal Highness Crown Prince Caroline?"

Alfred looked away in embarrassment, and Xiu said calmly, "No, it's His Royal Highness Prince Carlo and Prince Karin—I have just notified the name of the Holy White Tower."

Carlo and Carlin are not traditional names either, at least not in royal history.This is actually not very in line with the rules, but instead of calling the prince Caroline and Alice, the doctor sincerely praised: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, these are really two good names."

He pointed to the incubator on Alfred's left, and said, "This is His Royal Highness Carlo, the eldest prince, and the other is His Royal Highness Karin, the little prince."

Xiu then asked: "It is confirmed that both of them have inherited His Majesty's golden pupils, right?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"But the birth report is very vague." Xiu said, "You know, within the royal family, and even among members of the royal family, the golden pupils are different from the golden pupils. Your Majesty's golden pupils are the purest and most powerful. What about the two kids?"

There is no data or theory to support the view that "Your Majesty's golden pupils are the purest and most powerful"... The doctor slandered, but of course he didn't dare to say, he just said: "Your Highness, the strength of the genetic ability, and the ability to The degree of control over abilities cannot be identified by a simple genetic test at birth... The former requires the two Highnesses to grow up, while the latter can be cultivated."

Xiu nodded, and asked again: "When is the defect correction surgery scheduled?"

The doctor paused and didn't speak for a while.

Alfred simply flipped through the birth identification report just now, and knew that the two children had inherited special abilities from both parties—except that Alfred's special gene was called "advanced", and Xiu's special gene called "defects".

Fortunately, Xiu's problem is not too complicated. In fact, it can be corrected through surgery and treatment. Xiu didn't do it himself because there were too many shady things when he was born. The high priest at that time did not dare to organize major surgery for him. Many people were involved and too many secrets were revealed.

Now, of course, he wants to arrange surgery for his child as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness..." the doctor organized his words and said cautiously, "Yesterday's laparotomy did not go well. Although the two princes' lives were not in danger, their health conditions are not optimistic, especially Your Highness. We, we I think...they don't have the conditions for corrective surgery for the time being..."

Xiu tightened the quilt covering his body, and his voice became cold: "When I asked you before, you promised that they could be corrected after birth."

Alfred suddenly understood when he heard this, why would Xiu know the gender of the child.He didn't specifically ask about the gender, he asked about the genetic status - Long before the children were born, Xiu already knew the results of their genetic tests, and got an answer that the defects could be corrected.

The doctor's cold sweat crawled up his forehead in an instant, and he wiped his forehead and said, "Yes, Your Highness, it is theoretically possible. It's just that we didn't expect the delivery process to be so early and not smooth..."

Xiu waved his hand to interrupt him, and asked, "Then when can the operation be performed?"

"His Highness should be able to start talking about the operation after he is out of the incubator. As for His Highness...we still need to closely observe his health."

Alfred said: "There is no need to force this. Health is the most important thing. Do what you can, and it doesn't matter if you can't."

Xiu originally wanted to continue asking, but since Alfred said so, he couldn't ask anymore, and stared at Carlo's incubator rather sullenly.

He reluctantly changed the subject and asked the doctor: "Why does their hair look a bit dull? It's far less dazzling than His Majesty's blond hair."

After Xiu said that, Alfred also carefully looked at the hair color of the two children - it was a very light yellow color, which looked quite sparse.

"Pale gold is also pretty." Alfred said not minding at all.

The head nurse standing aside hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, it is normal for a baby to have dull hair when it is born, and it will deepen in a few days."

"Really?" Xiu thought about it uncomfortably, "Go to the file and find out the photo of His Majesty when he was born and send it to me."

The head nurse led the way out.

Alfred didn't take much part in their conversation, he walked around the transparent incubator with great interest, watching the two children Xiu gave birth to him.It's a pity that both Carlo and Carlin have been sleeping, except for the heaving and falling of their chests, Alfred lost his sense of freshness after a while.

Xiu Xiu was signing the birth certificates of the two children in the name of the high priest, when he suddenly heard two crisp sounds from the incubator.

He looked up and saw Alfred knuckle Karlin's box with his index finger. The doctors and nurses were shocked when they saw this.

"Alfred!" Xiu stopped, "Don't disturb his sleep."

"Oh." Alfred put down his hand resentfully, and suddenly lost interest, "Doctor, push them back to the sterile room and take care of them carefully."

The doctors and nurses hurried forward, carefully protected the two incubators and left, as if they were afraid that Alfred would catch up and knock them twice.

Xiu suddenly remembered an old incident.

Almost ten years ago, when Alfred was only six or seven years old, he took Alfred to the Royal Zoo to play. A short-haired cat in the rare zoo area was sleeping, and Alfred wanted it to move , just knock on the protective glass.

At that time, how did I stop him?

It seems that he called his name first, and then said: "Don't disturb its sleep."

Alfred, who was still very young, let go of his hand resentfully, and he didn't seem to give up, but he didn't dare to disobey his elder brother, and ran away angrily.

"Brother, what are you laughing at?"

Xiu raised his eyes, and Alfred, who had grown into a tall adult man, was looking closely at his expression and asking him.

That little boy has now become the emperor of the empire, his husband, and... the father of his two children.

Only then did Xiu realize that he was smiling involuntarily.

"I was thinking, there are still a lot of things that haven't changed," he said.

It took Xiu a long time and a lot of effort to make Alfred reborn.Crush him first, then bring him back to life.However, Alfred still retains a lot of his original self.

Xiu raised his hand and stroked Alfred's cheek gently, and said with a smile, "I'm very happy."

Alfred was slightly moved.

He didn't fully understand, but it didn't prevent him from leaning over to exchange a kiss with Xiu.
