Lucky men are the last to have children, and fertile women are the last to have children

Chapter 513: The Delicate and Soft Sister-in-law VS the Black-hearted Brother-in-law Who Was Borrowed for Seed 63
He felt helpless and could only go forward.

Chen Mufeng, Li Mingxuan, Zhang Shuhan, and Yu Yao sat around a table, drinking, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was joyful.

Yu Yao was about to give birth, so naturally she didn't drink. She just lowered her head to eat, or pricked up her ears to listen to the three men talking, occasionally agreeing with a word or two.

She had just picked up a piece of sea cucumber and put it in her mouth. When she looked up, she saw a man walking in. He was dressed in black and had a stern face. From his attire, it was obvious that he was a secret guard or some other kind of follower.

She was slightly startled and felt that the man's face was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.

After thinking for a long time, I remembered that this person seemed to be the follower of the third prince. Although I had only met him once, I remembered him now.

I wondered why this person came here.

She put down her chopsticks, tugged at Chen Mufeng, who was drinking heavily, and whispered, "Stop drinking, someone's coming."

Chen Mufeng was chatting happily with Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan. He was a little drunk and had a happy smile on his face.

When she pulled me like that, I looked over and saw Changfeng walking in.

He frowned slightly, thinking that the man looked familiar, but couldn't remember who he was.

But out of politeness, he stood up first and greeted him.

Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan also stopped what they were doing and looked at Changfeng who walked in, wondering who this person was.

Chen Mufeng was about to ask.

Changfeng came over with a smile and said, "Mr. Chen, it's been a long time since we last met. I hope you are all right. I came here rashly today and it is really a bother to disturb your leisure. I hope you will forgive me."

When Chen Mufeng heard the voice and looked at Changfeng's face carefully, he remembered his identity.

Slightly startled, he quickly bowed and replied, "It's Master Changfeng. I was so shortsighted that I didn't recognize you. I'm so sorry. I wonder why you came here today?"

Chang Feng smiled and waved his hand. "Mr. Chen, please don't be polite. I came here today to congratulate you all. Congratulations to Mr. Chen for winning the first place in the imperial examination. Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang also achieved such good results. It is really a cause for celebration. Secondly, I am also following the order of the Third Prince. I want to say a few words to Mr. Chen alone."

The reason why I wanted to say it alone was to avoid Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan.

When Chen Mufeng heard the last sentence, his brows slightly frowned.

His expression returned to normal, and he made a gesture of invitation, "In that case, please come in and talk, sir."

After saying this, he led Changfeng into the house to talk and closed the door.

Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan looked at each other. Although they were confused, they couldn't ask at the moment.

I just wanted to wait for that person to leave and then ask Brother Chen what happened.

The two continued drinking and chatting.

Yu Yao frowned slightly. She didn't know why the Third Prince sent someone, nor what he wanted to say.

But she guessed that it might be related to winning over.

Although she lived in the market, she had heard that the fighting among the current princes was extremely fierce, almost as fierce as the Nine Dragon Battle for the Throne during the Qing Dynasty.

Now, although the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace seems to be extremely noble, his position is shaky, and his younger brothers all want to bring him down.

I heard that the prince was reprimanded by the emperor in the court some time ago.

Among them, it is probably the work of the third prince.

Chen Mufeng passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer. Although he has not yet taken part in the palace examination, he has already proved that he is talented and a capable person.

If they are talented, we should naturally win them over.

She ate her food while thinking alone.

She and Chen Mufeng had just arrived in the capital and had no foundation at all.

If one could serve under the Third Prince and have him secretly support him, one's career would naturally rise rapidly, and one could also gain the credit of being a dragon's follower.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the third prince can succeed in his bid for the throne.

If you fail, the outcome will be disastrous.

"Tongtong, tell me all the information about the Third Prince."

She said to the system in her heart.

The system did not hide it. "The third prince, Xiao Jingyan, is twenty-two years old. He is a man of foresight and careful thinking. He has secretly cultivated a lot of power in the court. In recent years, as the fight for the throne has become increasingly fierce, the third prince has been actively planning and using many means."

"Because his birth mother, Concubine Yu, was born as a palace maid and was not favored by Emperor Yong'an, it can be said that she was of no help to Xiao Jingyan. Without the influence of his mother's family, he went around trying to win over talents from all sides, whether they were scholars from poor families or children from aristocratic families, as long as they were useful, he would try to recruit them to his side."

Yu Yao raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this.

Low birth has never been a problem. Many princes of noble birth could not sit on the throne in the end.

If you want to ascend the throne, in addition to Emperor Yong'an's favor, you must also have sufficient means and power.

Of course, the most important thing is whether this person has the destiny to be an emperor.

If you don't have the destiny to be an emperor, no matter how hard you try, it will be of no avail.

"Tongtong, help me check if the Third Prince has dragon energy and whether he has the destiny of an emperor."

She looked solemn and asked in her heart.

this point is very important.

The system was speechless. "Host, you are breaking the rules. Although I can detect it, it is not easy to tell you about this."

She was unhappy when she heard it, and retorted: "Why can't you tell me? My mission is to capture Chen Mufeng, give birth to a child for him, and cure Chen Xiuyuan's paralysis. Chen Xiuyuan has been cured, and I am pregnant with Chen Mufeng's child, just waiting for the baby to be born. The mission of this plane is completed. Testing whether Xiao Jingyan has the fate of an emperor has no direct relationship with my mission, why can't I tell you?"

The system was silent for a while, then said: "Host, this matter of detecting the emperor's fate involves the secrets of heaven. If I tell you directly, it may disrupt the cause and effect of this world and cause many unknown variables. Besides, the fate of the third prince Xiao Jingyan should develop naturally. If you know it in advance, it will be cheating and will also change the direction of the situation."

Yu Yao frowned, feeling increasingly dissatisfied. "Humph, you only know how to use these great principles to evade me. I just want to have a bottom line in my mind. If Xiao Jingyan doesn't have the fate of an emperor and fails in the battle for the throne, and Chen Mufeng follows him, wouldn't that be pushing herself into a pit of fire? I will also end up in a miserable situation."

"Tongtong, are you willing to watch me suffer a miserable end, with my entire family in jail?"

The system chuckled and said, "That's great. The host can leave this plane earlier, so he doesn't have to wait for decades for you to die."

The host of each plane must wait until the male protagonist of the mission dies before leaving. Even if the male protagonist of the immortal and demon plane cannot die, he must stay for 100,000 years before leaving, which really affects the progress of the mission.

Yu Yao never expected it to say such words, and cursed in her heart: What a heartless rubbish system.

I don’t know if she was angry or if the two little ones in her belly were eager to be born.

Suddenly, I was struck by a stomachache.

Then something came out.

She realized instantly that she was about to give birth. Children are born in every dimension. She was very familiar with this feeling and was very calm.

Just about to call for help.

Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan looked at her nervously, obviously noticing that something was wrong with her expression.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Li Mingxuan put down his wine glass and asked with a frown.

Yu Yao pulled the corner of her mouth and said calmly: "It's nothing, I'm just about to give birth. Please help me call Aunt Liu and the midwife to come over."

"What? You're giving birth?"

Li Mingxuan jumped up from his chair in an instant, his face full of confusion, and he even forgot to react.

Although Zhang Shuhan was also quite frightened, his reaction was faster than Li Mingxuan's.

He quickly stood up and rushed to the yard, shouting at the top of his voice, "Aunt Liu, midwife, come quickly, my sister-in-law is about to give birth!"

The shout startled Chen Mufeng, who was speaking in the room, so much that he trembled all over, and the books and house deeds in his hands fell to the ground.

He didn't even bother to check, he just opened the door and ran out, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Changfeng glanced at the door and the corner of his mouth twitched.

It's such a coincidence that she gave birth to a child at this time.

He glanced down at the books and deeds that had fallen to the ground, then silently bent down to pick them up and put them aside.

Then he turned and went out, closing the door.

Inside the hall.

Li Mingxuan had reacted by now and quickly came to Yu Yao's side, "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, I'll help you into the house..."

He reached out his hand to support her, but he felt embarrassed because he thought that physical contact between men and women is not allowed.

Just at this time, Mrs. Liu and two midwives had arrived.

Li Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mrs. Liu, hurry up and prepare the scissors, hot water, the child's clothes, and blankets. Remember to heat the scissors in hot water first."

A midwife gave the order quickly and calmly.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Mrs. Liu responded hastily and went to prepare things.

Another midwife carefully helped Yu Yao into the house and checked her fetal position carefully.

Chen Mufeng just happened to rush over and wanted to go into the house to take a look, but was ruthlessly kicked out by the midwife.

When a woman is giving birth, why should a man come in to cause trouble?

Then, he closed the door with a bang.

Chen Mufeng stood at the door and felt frustrated. He looked embarrassed but didn't dare to force his way in.

Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan saw this scene and couldn't stop laughing.

The two midwives and Mrs. Liu were so busy that they were dizzy.

Instead, a few men were standing in the yard, bored.

Mrs. Liu looked up and said to Chen Mufeng, "Sir, you are just standing here in vain. Why don't you go to the kitchen and boil some hot water? I will need it later. I will go and prepare something first."

Although it is not good to ask a scholar like you to do rough work, everyone is very busy at the moment and can't care so much.

Chen Mufeng nodded repeatedly. He didn't care. He felt at ease having something to do.

"Okay, Aunt Liu, I'll go to the kitchen and boil some water. Please hurry up and don't let them wait in there."

After leaving these words, he ran to the kitchen to boil some water.

When Li Mingxuan heard this, he felt it was not good to just stand there, so he asked Mrs. Liu, "Aunt Liu, if there is anything you need our help with, just tell us. We are also very anxious here."

Zhang Shuhan looked at Mrs. Liu and nodded repeatedly, obviously meaning the same thing.

When Mrs. Liu heard what the two said, she was not polite and said, "Okay, the two gentlemen can go to the sheep shed in the backyard and squeeze some goat milk. Then put it in the pot to warm it up. When the two little masters are born, they can drink it."

A mother who has just given birth does not have no milk. She needs to wait three days and then squeeze out the goat milk so that the baby can drink it.

You can't let your children go hungry.

When Li Mingxuan heard this, he looked as if he had been struck by lightning, and his expression was dazed.

Milking a sheep?

The corner of Zhang Shuhan's mouth twitched and he laughed out loud.

Although he had never done such a thing before, he had no choice but to go ahead with it now.

"Okay, Aunt Liu, let's go to the backyard and milk the goats."

He held back his laughter and agreed, pulling Li Mingxuan who was still in a daze, "Come on, Brother Li, don't just stand there, go and milk the goats."

Li Mingxuan finally came to his senses and followed Zhang Shuhan to the sheep shed in the backyard with a strange expression on his face.

I couldn't help muttering in my heart: If I had known earlier, I would have let Li Lei go to Zhaixing Tower to settle the bill later. Otherwise, I could have let him do the job of milking the goats.

Changfeng stood in the yard, not knowing whether to leave or stay, looking embarrassed.

Thinking that the things His Highness had entrusted him to do had already been delivered, he felt there was no need to stay any longer and left quickly.

The backyard was pitch black, but luckily the moonlight was bright, and with the light from the kitchen, I could see clearly, but it was not very bright.

There were two docile ewes in the sheep shed. When they saw Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan approaching, they made a few "baa" sounds.

It was exceptionally loud in the silent night and startled the two of them.

"The sheep bleated so suddenly that it scared me."

Li Mingxuan complained in a low voice.

Zhang Shuhan's mouth twitched, and he was at a loss. Although he came from a poor family, he had never done this kind of work, and he didn't know how to start for a moment.

Li Mingxuan didn't know how to start. He came from a wealthy family and grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. He had people to take care of all his affairs, and he had never done such a job.

"How do I squeeze this?"

Li Mingxuan looked at the two ewes and asked awkwardly.

Zhang Shuhan swallowed his saliva and said, "Go to the kitchen and get a bigger bowl first. You need something to hold the goat milk after you squeeze it out."

After hearing this, Li Mingxuan felt as if he had been pardoned and hurried to the kitchen, thinking that it would be good to temporarily avoid the job of milking goats.

After a while, he came back with a big bowl, shouting as he ran: "Brother Zhang, I got the bowl, what do we do next?"

Zhang Shuhan took the bowl, put it aside, walked over and reached out tentatively: "It should be like this."

He was not sure either, so he could only grope his way forward based on his feelings.

As a result, as soon as the hand touched the sheep, the sheep jumped away with a "bleat" sound, as if it was frightened by something.

"Hahaha, look at you, you scared all the sheep away."

Li Mingxuan couldn't help laughing, but then he realized something was wrong because he also didn't know what to do.

The two of them struggled in the sheep shed for a long time, but they couldn't squeeze out a bowl of goat's milk. They only heard the two sheep bleating non-stop.

Chen Mufeng, who was boiling water in the kitchen, couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he went over to help after the water was ready.

He gently stroked the two ewes to make them relax their vigilance.

Seeing this, Zhang Shuhan cautiously moved over and squeezed in, while Li Mingxuan held the bowl to receive the drink.

The three of them worked together and finally squeezed out a bowl full of goat milk, finally completing the task.

In the delivery room, all necessary delivery supplies are prepared and neatly arranged.

Yu Yao walked back and forth in the room holding her belly. When she felt ready, she lay down on the bed with the help of Mrs. Liu.

While no one was paying attention, she secretly took a painless childbirth pill.

The elixir melts in your mouth.

The piercing pain was relieved instantly, but in order not to arouse suspicion, she still shouted a few times.

She then focused her attention on her belly and began to give birth with all her strength.

"Ma'am, come on, push harder, the child has seen the end."

A midwife shouted loudly at the side.

Granny Liu was also helping, wiping Yu Yao's sweat off her face and saying things like "God bless her."

Yu Yao's fetus was in the right position, and she took pain-relieving pills. With her past experience and the help of two experienced midwives, the delivery process went extremely smoothly.

Accompanied by a loud cry, the first child came out, a chubby boy.

Before anyone could clean up the mess, the second child came out. It was a girl.

The two midwives and Mrs. Liu were so happy that they hurried to hold the baby and clean up.

After putting on clothes and wrapping herself in a small quilt, two freshly baked buns were ready.

"Oh, ma'am, look at these two children. They are so good-looking. Their arms and legs are so strong. They are obviously healthy."

Mrs. Liu looked at the baby in the cradle with a smile on her face.

The child was not small in size and weighed as much as an ordinary child when he was born. He did not look like twins at all. He was chubby, rosy and very cute.

When the two midwives saw that it was twins, a boy and a girl, and that they looked so good, their faces beamed with joy and they kept saying things like how lucky the lady was.

Yu Yao was delighted to hear that. Her heart melted when she looked at the two children brought over by Granny Liu. She couldn't stop looking at them, with a gentle face.

Chen Mufeng was waiting anxiously at the door. Thinking of the goat milk warming in the pot in the kitchen, he went to bring it over.

As soon as I came to the yard, I heard noises coming from the house.

He stood at the door and listened, only to find out that Yao'er had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

He was slightly startled, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face in an instant.

He pushed open the door and hurried in.

Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan followed behind and naturally heard it.

The two looked at each other, and saw envy in each other's eyes.

Li Mingxuan clicked his tongue twice and said enviously, "Brother Chen is really amazing. Now he has a son and a daughter. I am really envious."

"Yes, twin boys and girls are rare, and it is indeed enviable."

Zhang Shuhan also agreed with a smile.

The two of them did not go in, but just stood in the yard and talked.

It was not convenient for two outsiders like them to enter a place like the delivery room.

On this side, Chen Mufeng entered the house and closed the door.

He placed the goat milk in his hand on the table and hurried to the bed.

He felt extremely distressed when he saw Yao'er's pale face, tired look, and hair wet with sweat.

The two children were wrapped in swaddling clothes, one in a basket and one in powder, and placed beside her, sleeping next to their mother. They were small and red, like two little buns just taken out of the oven.

Chen Mufeng felt like his heart was melting. He reached out his hand to touch her, but he didn't dare.

Afraid that I might hurt them.

"Yao'er, does it hurt? Thank you, thank you for giving me such a pair of lovely children."

His eyes were moist and he placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, his voice choked with sobs.

Yu Yao smiled faintly and said weakly, "It doesn't hurt now. Seeing the two children, I feel only joy in my heart."

Granny Liu looked at the goat milk on the table, tested the temperature with the back of her hand, and felt it was just right, so she brought it over and said with a smile, "Sir, Madam, the two little masters have just been born, so I'll feed them something first."

When Chen Mufeng heard this, he also realized that the two children had just been born and had not eaten yet.

He stood up and stood aside to make room for Mrs. Liu to feed the child.

"Yao'er, are you hungry? The chicken soup is warming up in the kitchen. I'll bring it to you."

Chen Mufeng looked at Yu Yao and spoke softly.

This chicken soup was what was left over from the banquet. Yao'er went into labor suddenly and there was no time to make chicken soup.

"I just had a full meal, how can I be hungry now?"

Yu Yao patted the bedside gently, motioning Chen Mufeng to sit down, and then said, "Don't bother with anything. Just sit here and talk to me and the kids."

Chen Mufeng sat down as he was told and talked to her.

The two children were probably really hungry, they ate with a smacking sound and looked very cute.

He drank a lot of goat's milk in no time.

Mrs. Liu knew that the baby's stomach was very small, and she thought that he had eaten almost enough, so she did not dare to feed him any more.

She handed the remaining goat milk to Yu Yao, "Madam, goat milk is rich in nutrients. You just gave birth, so you should drink some."

"I don't drink it. It tastes weird."

Yu Yao waved her hands with a look of disgust.

She really doesn't like drinking goat's milk, especially unprocessed one.

Mrs. Liu did not force them. She just put the bowl aside and kept it warm on a small stove, waiting for the two children to wake up before drinking.

"By the way, why did the Third Prince send someone to look for you?"

Yu Yao looked at Chen Mufeng, thought about what happened before, and asked when she remembered it.

Chen Mufeng glanced at her and sighed, "Changfeng only said that he was sent by the Third Prince to congratulate me on winning the first prize, and also gave me a very precious book and the title deed of this house, but he didn't say anything else."

"Books and deeds? Where are the things? Did you collect them?"

she asked with a frown.

Chen Mufeng frowned, "I was about to refuse when I heard the news that you had given birth, the books and the house deed..."

At this point, he paused, as if remembering something, "Yao'er, wait a minute, I'll go to the next room and take a look. It seems to have fallen on the ground, and I don't know if that person has taken it away."

After saying that, he got up and went to the next room. The Third Prince's purpose was unclear. It would be bad to accept such a valuable gift rashly.

It would be fine if the person took it away, but if he left it behind or it disappeared, that would be a terrible thing.

When Yu Yao saw him leave in a hurry, her brows slightly frowned, but she didn't say anything. She just waited patiently.

In the yard, the moonlight was as dark as ink, and the lanterns under the eaves were swaying gently.

Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan were standing in the yard talking. They caught a glimpse of Chen Mufeng coming out in a hurry. They were a little puzzled and were about to say something.

In the blink of an eye, the man disappeared like a gust of wind and quickly went into the next room.

"What's the hurry?"

Li Mingxuan frowned and asked in confusion.

Zhang Shuhan shook his head slightly and said uncertainly: "It should be something."

Chen Mufeng walked into the next room and saw the books and the title deed on the table at a glance.

He breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the thing to examine it carefully.

The book was written on fine paper with beautiful handwriting, and the contents seemed to be some insights and strategies on governing a country.

The Third Prince's purpose was very clear. He obviously wanted to catch the Emperor's eye in the palace examination.

This is a good thing for me.

But he had also heard the news from the court. Although the Eastern Palace was established early, as several princes gradually came of age, the struggle for the throne gradually surfaced.

It's even getting worse.

The third prince was obviously caught up in it.

Sending the property deeds and books at this time was an obvious attempt to win over the couple.

What was especially given by the Third Prince was the two-story house where he currently lives.

Originally it was just rented.

I don’t know when the third prince bought it secretly, but now he actually gave the title deed to me directly.

Such a generous gift really made him feel embarrassed.

He paced the room, thinking about what to do.

"Third Prince, you have given me a difficult problem."

He shook his head and smiled bitterly.

After accepting this generous gift, he entered the Third Prince's camp and was involved in the fight for the throne.

But if he didn't accept it and rejected the Third Prince's kindness, he would find it difficult to survive in the officialdom.

It's not that he judges others by his own standards.

There was no need to deliberately make things difficult for a person like the Third Prince. Just one look of displeasure from him would be enough to deter the officials under him from promoting him.

Chen Mufeng pondered for a long time in the house, and finally decided to temporarily accept the third prince's generous gift.

After all, this book would be of great help to his path to the imperial examination, and the title deed of this house also represented that he had a real place to settle down in this capital city.

He is not a man who covets wealth and fame, but in this complicated court struggle, he needs more power to protect himself and everything he cherishes.

I have a decision in my mind.

He picked up the books and the house deed and returned to Yu Yao.

He handed the books and the title deed to Yu Yao, and told her his guess and decision.

Yu Yao took the books and the title deed and looked at them in her hands. The gift from the Third Prince was indeed valuable.

Listening to his words, I nodded gently, "Now that you've made the decision, just go for it. No matter what the result is, I support you. Just be careful."

Chen Mufeng naturally nodded in agreement.
