Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.
Chapter 225, Auspicious Omens
Five tiny babies lay on a large communal bed in the side room, wrapped in soft cotton cloth, looking like a litter of newborn kittens, very, very small.
Babies in normal families usually weigh between six and eight pounds at birth, but these babies were born weighing less than three pounds at the heaviest and only a little over one pound at the smallest. They were so light that it was like holding a ball of cotton.
Their breathing was shallow and rapid, which was both heartbreaking and distressing to see.
Now everyone's hearts have turned from joy to worry.
A female doctor said, "These five tiny lives, so fragile as glass, can they really survive?"
Old Li frowned: "We've already overcome the first hurdle, what else is there to be afraid of!"
Old Cui nodded: "That's right, we must have confidence!"
As they talked, each of them carefully took turns checking the pulse of each child.
Just then, a group of people suddenly rushed into the courtyard, but they walked very quietly, as if afraid of disturbing someone.
Yun Shengsheng turned her head curiously, quite surprised.
[Huh, what's the Emperor and Empress doing here? What are they doing here? Come to think of it, I haven't seen them since the new Emperor ascended the throne.]
[Being an emperor or empress definitely changes one's aura!]
She quickly stood up and bowed, and Yan Shijin also stood up beside her.
The emperor waved his hand, indicating they didn't need to be so polite, his face full of curiosity, his voice softer than usual: "I heard that Lady Cui gave birth today, supposedly quadruplets, and she had to have a cesarean section. How is it, has she given birth?"
The Empress also looked tense, her voice even softer than the Emperor's: "Those are quadruplets! Can they really be born safely? How are the mother and babies now? Why is the courtyard so quiet? I haven't heard anything."
Zhang Jian, the eunuch standing nearby, listened intently for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this servant thinks I heard a baby crying? Could it be that the baby has already been born?"
Yun Shengsheng said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress, Aunt Cui has already given birth. And it's not quadruplets, it's quintuplets!"
The emperor and empress's eyes lit up at the same time.
The emperor raised his voice: "Five babies? Five? They were all born?"
The Empress also asked excitedly, "What about Lady Cui? How is she?"
Yun Shengsheng smiled and said, "Mother and child are both safe and sound. They're both doing well."
The Empress grabbed her hand and asked, "Was it a boy or a girl? Five children, how many boys and how many girls?"
Yun Shengsheng was taken aback by the question, scratched her head, and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
"Uh, I really didn't know that. Master and Senior Sister were so busy treating the child and taking care of Aunt Cui that they probably forgot to mention it."
The Empress's eyes lit up, and she immediately lifted her skirt and walked quickly and lightly into the room, muttering, "I am a woman, I will go in and see. Is the woman in labor awake or asleep?"
Of course, most importantly, she wanted to see what the five babies looked like.
Yun Shengsheng blinked: "Now that both mother and child are safe, Cui's wound has been stitched up, and the room should be cleaned up. It shouldn't be a problem for the Empress to go in and check."
She didn't stop him, but instinctively wanted to follow him in, only to be blocked by Yan Shijin.
Yan Shijin frowned and said, "The delivery room smells strongly of blood; it's bad luck for a little girl to go in there."
Yun Shengsheng pouted, looking a little unhappy!
She whispered, "Are you saying you're disgusted?"
"But don't forget, you were also born after your mother risked her life!"
Yan Shijin rubbed her forehead and whispered, "I didn't mean to be disgusted, I just think you're still too young."
"When you grow up, I promise I won't stop you!"
The emperor also wanted to go in and see the children—they were quintuplets!—but his gender and status prevented him from doing so.
He stepped back a few paces, preparing to sit in the spot where Yun Shengsheng and the others had just been sitting. He craned his neck, gazing expectantly at the delivery room door; anyone who didn't know better would think his wife was giving birth.
Sun Changzai and Zhao Ci then came to their senses.
The two quickly came over and paid their respects to the emperor.
Sun Changzai never dreamed that his wife giving birth would attract the attention of the emperor and empress.
His voice trembled as he kowtowed, whether from excitement or fear, it was hard to tell.
The emperor waved his hand, his face full of gentle smiles, his tone as casual as if he were visiting someone's home: "Get up, get up. I just came out for a stroll. I was feeling bored in the palace, and I heard there was something interesting here, so I came to see."
"The main thing is that in all my years of life, I have never heard of quintuplets."
Zhang Jian smiled broadly and said, "Your Majesty, this is truly a blessing of the five blessings! Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and such an auspicious event has already occurred, with five blessings descending at the same time. One can imagine how fortunate our Great Xuan Kingdom is; it is Heaven itself congratulating Your Majesty!"
Yun Shengsheng blinked, silently giving this Eunuch Zhang a thumbs up in her heart.
[What a smooth talker! Otherwise, how could he have become the chief steward to the new emperor!]
Unfortunately, this man was a bit unlucky. The godson he was about to adopt, Zhang Weide, was actually a spy planted by someone else. Having concealed his identity for many years, Zhang Jian ultimately died at the hands of this Zhang Weide.
Yan Shijin squinted.
Zhang Weide?
Whose man is he...?
The emperor was delighted by Zhang Jian's words and slapped the table, laughing heartily.
"Yes, yes, yes! Five blessings have arrived! Five blessings have descended upon our Great Xuan Kingdom! Isn't this a blessing for our Great Xuan Kingdom?"
"Guards, convey my decree: from this moment forward, the palace will send two imperial physicians daily to take turns caring for Lady Cui and her five children at the estate. This will last for three months. They must do their utmost to ensure these five precious children are well cared for by me, and no mistakes are permitted!"
This imperial decree carries considerable weight.
The emperor himself called these five children "lucky treasures" and specially assigned imperial physicians to take care of them. Even the sons and daughters of princes and noble families did not receive such an honor.
This also served as a protective charm for the five little ones, and everyone taking care of them was on high alert.
Sun Changzai was extremely excited and repeatedly kowtowed in gratitude.
While Yun Shengsheng was happy, she also felt a little worried.
[In this way, the five children, along with the Sun family, were essentially placed under the spotlight, and everyone was watching.]
[If someone were to exploit this loophole and cause any accident to happen to these five children, it wouldn't just be a slap in the face to Elder Li and Elder Cui, but to the Emperor and the entire Great Xuan Dynasty.]
[Furthermore, some with ulterior motives will jump out and say that the emperor's imperial might is insufficient to protect the Five Lucky Stars. At that point, it won't just be a matter of a few children; it will be used to question the legitimacy of imperial power and the rise and fall of the nation's destiny.]
Yan Shijin had obviously thought of this as well.
He winked at Mo Ning beside him.
Mo Ning understood, nodded slightly, and turned to go out to make the arrangements...
