Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

Inside the house, after checking on all five children, Old Li and Old Cui exchanged a glance.

The expressions on their faces were exactly the same.

There was both relief and solemnity.

None of the five children had any major health problems; their hearts beat normally, their breathing was shallow but rhythmic, and their internal organs were fully developed.

But they were so small, so small that no one knew how to raise them.

Just as Old Master Li was about to speak, the Empress quietly entered.

She first went to check on Cui Shi and saw her lying on the bed in the main room, her face pale but her breathing steady, fast asleep.

With maids and an old woman taking care of her, the Empress didn't want to disturb them, so she quietly followed the directions to the side room.

When Elder Li, Elder Cui, and the others saw the Empress enter, they quickly put down their work and prepared to pay their respects.

The Empress quickly waved her hand and lowered her voice, saying, "No need for formalities, don't disturb the child."

She cautiously approached the communal bed and glanced down at the five babies.

They were all wrinkled and tiny, the smallest one hadn't even opened its eyes yet, its little hands clenched into fists and held up to its ears, its fingernails as small as a grain of rice.

The Empress's heart melted instantly; she wanted to reach out and touch it but dared not.

She asked, "How are you? How are the children?"

Old Li sighed, "Your Majesty, the five children are all in good health, but they are too thin and small. With such weak bodies, I'm afraid they could die from a simple headache or fever, or even a minor cold."

Old Cui nodded: "We went through so much trouble to save them, now it's up to fate."

"Whether they can be raised to adulthood is something no one can guarantee."

The Empress frowned: "Yes, they are so thin and small. I'm afraid they won't live to a ripe old age if they aren't properly cared for. In all my years, this is the first time I've ever seen quintuplets."

Everyone nodded in agreement; it was indeed the case.

They had practiced medicine their whole lives and witnessed countless births, aging, illnesses, and deaths, but they had never seen a case where a mother and five children were born safely.

But they were also incredibly surprised and gratified.

Especially Mei Jiangyi and the four female doctors, who performed the surgeries themselves, still feel their hands trembling slightly, not from fatigue, but from excitement.

In their lifetime, being able to personally deliver five children in one pregnancy is something they can boast about for a lifetime.

Suddenly remembering something, the Empress's eyes lit up as she asked, "By the way, are these five children boys or girls? I was so focused on how young they are that I forgot to ask."

Mei Jiangyi quickly bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, the first four are all boys, and the last one is a girl."

The Empress clasped her hands together in delight, her phoenix eyes sparkling: "Four boys and one girl! What a blessing! You've got a brother, sister, and son all in one pregnancy."

She was so excited that she turned around and walked out, eager to tell the emperor the good news.

The emperor was so surprised that his mouth dropped open, and he looked at Consort Sun with envy in his eyes.

"It's truly a blessing. Other families who want both a son and a daughter have to have several children and try their luck; but this one child gave birth to four sons and a daughter, saving so much trouble."

Consort Sun finally found out whether her child was a boy or a girl.

His eyes were red with emotion, and tears welled up in his eyes before he finally couldn't hold them back and they fell down in a steady stream.

He knelt down again with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly to the sky, chanting, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Heaven, for protecting my wife and children. Thank you, thank you, thank you, all the gods and bodhisattvas..."

Zhang Jian coughed lightly from the side and interjected with a smile, his tone both friendly and mischievous.

"Don't just thank the upright and just official. You should also thank our Emperor properly."

"If it weren't for His Majesty's benevolence and kindness, governing the country so well and ensuring the people live in peace and prosperity, how could there be such a good environment for your wife to conceive quintuplets and give birth to them safely?"

The emperor rolled his eyes at him and laughed, scolding, "You old codger, you're so glib."

"Even flattery shouldn't be done like this, dragging everything into my hands."

"It's someone else's blessing to have a child; what does it have to do with me?"

With a smile, Eunuch Zhang bowed slightly and replied without changing his expression, "This servant is not flattering you; this servant is simply stating the truth."

"Your Majesty, you see, if the world is in chaos and war, let alone having five children at once, it will be difficult to even have one child."

"Pregnant women had to flee with the fleeing troops, go hungry, and couldn't even find a doctor. Unlike now, they have experts from the Imperial Medical Academy to oversee them, a manor in the Crown Prince's residence to settle them, and even His Majesty himself coming to visit them. Isn't this His Majesty's benevolence?"

Sun Changzai agreed wholeheartedly, quickly turned around, and kowtowed three more times to the emperor.

"Yes, yes, Your Excellency is right. This humble subject should thank Your Majesty properly."

"Your Majesty's boundless grace is deeply appreciated by our humble family!"

Seeing that the time was right, Eunuch Zhang added, "Your Majesty, these quintuplets are an auspicious gift from Heaven to our Great Xuan Kingdom. Would you like to give them names?"

"It can be considered that His Majesty himself gave these five little auspicious creatures a blessing. When they grow up, they will be able to take care of the people and serve the country."

The emperor was slightly taken aback, clearly tempted.

Sun Changzai, being as quick-witted as he was, immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "This humble subject is dull-witted and illiterate, but I humbly beg Your Majesty to bestow a name upon my child!"

The emperor laughed and said, "In that case, I will not stand on ceremony."

He genuinely believed that these five children were the first auspicious sign since his ascension to the throne, a lucky omen for the start of his new dynasty.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I think they are five lucky stars, so their names must include the character 'star'."

"Since they are quintuplets, let's name them 'Yi Rui Cheng Huai Miao'. Yi means intention, Rui means auspiciousness, Cheng means to inherit, Huai means to embrace, and Miao means wonderful."

"When put together, it means that auspicious wishes are inherited and embraced, which is wonderful beyond words."

Sun Changzai muttered to himself: That means the eldest brother is called Sun Yixing, the second brother is Sun Ruixing, the third brother is Sun Chengxing, the fourth brother is Sun Huaixing, and the fifth brother is a girl named Sun Miaoxing!

This name is wonderful!

His lips trembled with excitement, and he kowtowed several times, saying, "Your Majesty, the name you chose is truly wonderful! On behalf of my wife and five children, I kowtow to express my gratitude for Your Majesty's bestowal of this name!"

The emperor turned to the empress with a smile, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

He had a look on his face that seemed to be asking for praise.

The Empress smiled and nodded: "Good, absolutely good!"

"However, Lady Cui has endured hardship during her pregnancy these past few months, and today she underwent a cesarean section, giving birth to five auspicious stars for our Great Xuan Dynasty. Her contribution is indispensable. Shouldn't His Majesty reward her accordingly?"

The emperor was in a good mood and very easy to talk to: "Well then, I will bestow upon her the title of a sixth-rank Lady of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, with the salary of a sixth-rank official."

Everyone was taken aback.

Lady Cui was merely the wife of a merchant, and her family was not particularly distinguished. Yet, she received a personal investiture from the emperor simply because she gave birth to quintuplets.

A sixth-rank Anren (a title for a woman of high rank) had a proper salary and an imperial decree, and she didn't need to kneel before the county magistrate in the local area.

Yan Shijin also spoke up: "Father, since you've already bestowed rewards upon the Cui family, why not also reward this Mr. Sun..."
