Yu Sheng worried about the names of the two children, and went to bed at night thinking about it.Yan Weilan half-lyed beside him, holding a history book in his hand, listening to Yu Sheng's chirping, with a slight smile on his lips, not the slightest bit impatient.

When it was time to turn off the lights and go to bed, Yu Sheng was still naming the children.

"Since they are twins, the names of the two should complement each other." Yu Sheng bit his finger and thought, "For example, Yan Da Yan Xiao, Yan Hei Yan Bai, Yan Shan Yan Shui..."

Yan Weilan closed the book, looked at him, and said with a smile: "You are in good spirits tonight."

"I slept for a long time in the afternoon, and now I'm not sleepy at all."

"The matter of the name can be discussed after you give birth." Yan Weilan put the book aside, leaned over Yu Sheng's body, clasped his wrist by his side, and said in a deep voice, "Now, you can think about other things. "

Yan Weilan seemed to have been abstinent for a long time and finally broke the precept, her watery eyes contained an undisguised possessive desire, "Mo Wengui said, after three months of pregnancy, you can moderately... do some things."

With Yan Weilan's good looks, Yu Sheng was seduced by him in the blink of an eye.He blushed and whispered: "Be careful not to press my stomach."

Yan Weilan smiled lightly: "Then you come up."

……

At the end of the twelfth lunar month, Yan Fengxiao ran out of oil and died on the bed.As Bai Xirong said, Yan Fengxiao was lucky to be able to live a few more months.In order to save his life, Mo Wengui used a lot of tiger and wolf medicine. In the last few months, he endured inhuman pain all the time, but now death is a kind of relief.

The Yan Mansion was hung with white cloth and white lanterns, and gold paper was scattered in front of the mourning hall.Even though Yan Weilan didn't feel much about Yan Fengxiao's death, she still had to do superficial tricks.He put on filial piety, took leave of absence from the court, and stayed in the mansion to receive the officials of the court who came to express their condolences.

As Yan Weilan's wife, Yu Sheng should guard Yan Fengxiao's spirit for three days and fast for three months according to etiquette.But the guests who came to Yan's mansion to express their condolences had never seen Yu Sheng before. When someone asked, Yan Weilan only said that Yu Sheng was too sad, hurt his body, and was lying in bed.Others talked a lot about it in private, but they were afraid of Yan Weilan's identity, so they didn't dare to ask any more questions.

On the third day after Yan Fengxiao's death, the emperor's imperial edict came.Yan Weilan inherited Yan Fengxiao's position as Cong Yipin Duke, and because he favored writing rather than martial arts, his title was changed from "Wu" to "Yi".Before Yan Weilan was 20 years old, he became the real master of the Yan Mansion, and his servants called him "Seventh Young Master" instead of "Master", and Yu Sheng also became the only wife of the Yan Mansion.

The group of Yingying Yanyan left by Yan Fengxiao, those without children were all sent out of the house by Bai Xirong.His concubines and concubines, seeing Yan Weilan one by one is like a mouse seeing a cat, they dare not fart.Some took the money and divided their families, while some chose to stay in the Yan Mansion and live their lives honestly with monthly regulations.After such a clean-up, the Yan Mansion was cleaned up a lot.If there is anything special, it is Yan Yuanlan who is a brother.

Yan Yuanlan is the same age as Yan Weilan, and the other elder brothers are the fathers of two children at this age, but he is not yet married, and he is offered food and drink at home, and the servants are quite respectful to him.It's just that every two months, he would be tortured to death by hot flashes, no one would relieve him, and he didn't have any anti-tide medicine, so he had no choice but to fight hard.Hot flashes are like a periodic poison to him, and when the poison hits, it can make him want to die.

Yu Sheng was quite sad when he heard about this incident.Back then, Yan Yuanlan was so proud after being named brother, he immediately forgot the brotherhood he had with Yan Weilan for many years.Relying on himself as his elder brother, he dominates the sky and looks at no one, and now he is acting like this is Yan Weilan's retribution for him.

Because of Yan Fengxiao's death, Yan Weilan and Yu Sheng could only spend their first year of marriage in silence and desolation.Yu Sheng's four-month-old belly is already as big as others' five-month-old, and his movements are somewhat inconvenient, so he spends most of his time in the yard.Yan Weilan entrusted Bai Xirong to take care of Yan Fengxiao's funeral, she didn't go to court or take care of the house, and she was with Yu Sheng almost all the time.

On New Year's Eve, Yan Weilan brought the Yan clan back after worshiping their ancestors, and saw Yu Sheng cutting window grilles with Qiu Nian, with a hint of warmth in his eyes, "Yu Sheng."

Yu Sheng raised his head, met Yan Weilan's gaze, and said joyfully, "Weilan, I learned a new skill! How do you look at my cut?"

Yan Weilan picked up Yu Sheng's work and looked at it for a while, "This pheasant has a beautiful body and is alive, not bad."

"..." Yu Sheng looked blank, "This is Phoenix."

Yan Weilan: "..."

Qiu Nian held back her laughter and said, "Someone just came from the kitchen and asked what Mrs. Madam would like to eat tonight."

Without even thinking about it, Yu Sheng said, "Of course we have to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year!"

Qiu Nian said, "Yes, I'll let them prepare."

Yu Sheng took the "Phoenix" back from Yan Weilan's hands, and muttered, "It doesn't look like a pheasant, it's definitely a Phoenix."

Yan Weilan smiled, "Where do you want to post it?"

"Hey?"

"Window grilles are for sticking."

"Didn't it mean that we have to keep our filial piety and we can't post these red things?"

Yan Weilan didn't take it seriously, "It's only posted in our room, who knows?"

"Okay, then let's post it together." Yu Sheng hugged her stomach with one hand, and supported Yan Weilan with the other to stand up.The two walked to the window, one held one end of the window grille, and worked together to stick the "Phoenix" on it.

After eating dumplings in the evening, Yan Weilan supported Yu Sheng for a walk in the yard, and when Yu Sheng was tired from walking, they sat down on the porch.The servants brought the stove and snacks, Yu Sheng snuggled up to Yan Weilan, looked at the snow-capped scenery, and said, "Weilan, we will spend together every year from now on."

Yan Weilan turned his head and pressed a kiss between Yu Sheng's eyebrows, "Yeah."

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a lot of rewards came from the palace at night, half from the emperor and half from the queen of the forest.Yu Sheng didn't expect that Empress Lin would still miss him, and felt moved and guilty. He had been back from Xunyang for so long, but he had never paid his respects to Empress Lin.

Yu Sheng said to Yan Weilan: "Weilan, we have been rewarded, shouldn't we go to the palace to thank you?"

"You want to go and greet the queen?"

Yu Sheng nodded, "I haven't seen him for a long time."

Yan Weilan glanced at his stomach, "How do you go out like this?"

"I put on a fox fur and hide my stomach, so no one will see it. Last time my elder brother came to see me, that's what I did. I didn't reveal anything." Yu Sheng hugged Yan Weilan's arm and said, "Weilan , I haven't gone out for more than half a month, if this continues, I will be free to lay eggs..."

Yan Weilan smiled, "The empress is not in the palace now, he is raising her baby in Yihe Garden."

"Raising... raising a baby?" Yu Sheng was taken aback for a while, "He also...how come I don't know when it happened."

Yan Weilan said: "The imperial doctor said that his fetus is unstable and should not be publicized, so as not to bump into the heir in his womb, so not many people know about it."

Lin Hou was pregnant with a second child at the age of 40, which can be considered an advanced age, and the hardships involved can be imagined. "Then it's time to visit him," Yu Sheng said, "after all, he has helped me so much."

"Empress Lin rarely sees people during her rest period." Yan Weilan said, "I will send him a post, if he wants to see you, he will send it to you."

The day after Yan Weilan posted the post, Yu Sheng received a call from Queen Lin.It happened that Yan Weilan also wanted to thank the emperor, so the two went to Yihe Garden together.

After entering the garden, Eunuch He came to greet him in person.Yan Weilan was going to the Qinzheng Hall in the front garden, and said before going: "Eunuch He, my wife is inconvenient, please take care of me."

Eunuch He laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you are being polite. After you are done, send someone to talk to this old slave, and this old slave will send Mrs. Guo back in person."

Yu Sheng was wearing loose clothes and fox fur today. Although he was already showing his bosom, his limbs were still slender, and his face was only a little rounder. People who didn't know it couldn't see anything at all.

Eunuch He led him towards the Donglai Palace where Empress Lin was, "The ground is slippery, Madam, please be careful and walk slowly."

"Thank you father-in-law for reminding me, father-in-law doesn't need to call me 'madam', just call me as before." Yu Sheng smiled softly, "Is the queen's phoenix body still healthy?"

Eunuch He smiled wryly and said, "The queen's pregnancy is not easy. Fortunately, the imperial doctor took good care of her and survived the eighth month. Yesterday, Lord Yi mentioned in his post that his wife was pregnant. The queen was happy and her spirits improved. Quite a lot." Eunuch He paused for a moment, and then said: "Since coming to Yihe Palace, the empress seldom talks to anyone except the king of Qin, and the emperor... alas. This time, I would like to ask the second son Yu to accompany the empress more, The servant knows that you are the best at making people happy."

The two of them walked slowly on the snow, and saw two men in brocade clothes leading several people walking towards them from afar.When they approached, Yu Sheng realized that one of them was... Shu Wang Li Luan.Li Luan saw Yu Sheng unexpectedly and froze in place.

Eunuch He bowed to the two men, "I have seen the two princes."

Yu Sheng didn't know who the other man was, so he followed He Gong and said, "Yu Sheng has met the two princes."

Li Luan regained his composure, with a hint of bitterness in his mouth, "You don't need to be too polite." He looked at Yu Sheng for a long time, and said, "I heard that you went to Xunyang with Duke Yi, are you all right?"

Yu Sheng smiled politely, "How about I stand in front of the prince?"

The man standing beside Li Luan said: "So you are the wife of Duke Yi—that ordinary person."

Yu Sheng nodded, "That's right, it's me."

Li Luan introduced to Yu Sheng: "This is my sixth brother, King Yong."

Yu Sheng said "oh", and said to Mr. He: "Grandpa, let's go quickly, so as not to keep the queen waiting for a long time."

King Yong seemed a little surprised, "Are you going to see the queen?"

"Yes."

Eunuch He cupped his hands and said, "The servant will take Mrs. Guo away first."

Li Luan looked at Yu Sheng's back with a somewhat lonely expression.Yong Wangdao: "The empress did not see anyone while she was recuperating, why did she meet the Duke's wife?"

Li Luan whispered: "Probably because he is really likable."

In Donglai Palace, Yu Sheng met Queen Lin whom he hadn't seen for a long time.The fetus in Lin Hou's womb is already eight months old, but it looks not much bigger than Yu Sheng's.Except for the stomach, the rest of his body was thin, and his whole body was emaciated, as if his spiritual energy had been sucked dry.

Seeing Yu Sheng, he smiled lightly, "Yu Sheng is here, sit down."

Yu Sheng also smiled at him, "Queen." There was plenty of charcoal fire in the hall, and Yu Sheng didn't have to be shy about anything, so he took off his fox fur and sat next to Queen Lin.Empress Lin asked him: "Have you been wronged in Xunyang for several months?"

Yu Sheng shook her head, "Wei Lan took good care of me, except for being hungry for three days, I didn't suffer any grievances."

Empress Lin smiled, "Aren't you wronged after being hungry for three days?"

"I am wronged, but Wei Lan has avenged me, so I am not so wronged."

Usually two pregnant women or pregnant couples get together, and the topic revolves around the child in the womb.But Yu Sheng knew Empress Lin, and Empress Lin rejected his brother's identity very much, and I'm afraid she would not be very enthusiastic about having a child.Empress Lin didn't mention her pregnancy, neither did Yu Sheng, but talked about what she had seen and heard in Xunyang.Lin Hou listened quietly, and only occasionally said a word. The two of them seemed to be friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they were talking about ordinary things.

Speaking of the latter, Yu Sheng naturally mentioned King Qin, saying how he was so brave and clever, and saved the people of Xunyang from the fire and water.

Empress Lin smiled and said, "Zhan'er told me this too. What he can say in one sentence, you have said no less than a hundred sentences."

Yu Sheng said embarrassingly, "Does the queen think I'm long-winded?"

"No," Empress Lin said softly, "You're fine." He looked out the window, "It's snowing again."

Eunuch He stepped forward and said, "Is the Queen tired?"

"I want to go out for a walk."

Eunuch He was taken aback, "Queen, you are old, the imperial doctor told you to rest more, and it is snowing outside, you should stay in the palace."

Yu Sheng couldn't help interjecting: "The doctor in my house said that walking more will help with delivery. I will walk for half an hour every day after dinner."

"Alas, Second Young Master Yu, you are not the same as the Empress!" Eunuch He said anxiously, "Of course you can leave if you are a good friend, but the Empress..."

"Then don't go." Yu Sheng said nervously, "Queen, let me chat with you in the palace."

"It's okay," Lin Hou said lightly, "It's rare that someone will accompany me——Yu Sheng, let's go."

Eunuch He complained endlessly, but he couldn't persuade him, so he could only obey orders.

Yu Sheng and Empress Lin put on fox fur and went out with a few court ladies and eunuchs.Eunuch He held an umbrella in one hand and supported Lin Hou with the other, walking on thin ice for fear of any accident.Fortunately, Hou Lin was in good spirits and walked steadily, so Eunuch He breathed a sigh of relief.

In the plum garden, the plum blossoms are in full bloom, with a subtle fragrance that is pleasing to the eye.Lin Hou stretched out his hand, and soft white snow fell on his palm. He said, "When Zhan'er was born, it snowed heavily."

Yu Sheng asked, "Does it hurt?"

Queen Lin gathered her palms together, "I forgot."

The two were silent together, when suddenly they heard a rustling sound coming from the front.Eunuch He's expression changed, "Where is who? Come out!"

After the words fell, a young man in white came out from the plum blossom forest.This young man is very good-looking, with beautiful facial features, eyes full of affection, a little red mark between his brows, and slightly curly long hair hanging down his chest, Yu Sheng almost screamed when he saw it - this, this is too similar!

When the young man in white saw Lin, he knelt obediently and saluted: "Sikong Yu sees the queen."

Lin Hou nodded coldly, "Excuse me."

The boy named Sikong Yu stood up, holding a few clusters of plum blossoms in his hand, and said timidly, "I...have I disturbed the queen?"

Lin Hou said: "No, you go."

Sikong Yu didn't move, bit his lip, and said: "I just wanted to fold a few plum blossoms to give to the emperor, but I didn't expect to spoil the queen's pleasure of admiring flowers, and ask the queen to forgive me."

Lin Hou said coldly: "I'm not going to disappoint you."

Sikong Yu looked pitiful, "Queen—"

Yu Sheng said angrily: "The queen let you go, you still rely on it, are you deaf or stupid, you can't understand human words!"

Sikong Yu seemed to have never been violent before, facing the fierce Yu Sheng, he was suddenly stunned.
