Chapter 298 Reluctant
"What?" Emperor Yongjia saw that she opened her mouth as if she was about to speak, so he moved closer.
Qin Liuse opened his mouth and continued to repeat what he had just said.
Emperor Yongjia recognized from her mouth shape and breath tone that she wanted to see the child, so he stood up and walked out, asking Zhu Wanxi to call the wet nurse over.
Then he called Aunt Mingyue in.
When Aunt Mingyue came in, Emperor Yongjia ordered her, "Bring some water for your master."
Aunt Mingyue had been waiting outside and said "yes".
Emperor Yongjia walked back to the bed and sat down, taking a camellia-colored porcelain bowl filled with warm water from Aunt Mingyue. He helped Qin Liuse up with one hand and put two pillows behind her so that she could sit half-leaning.
Then he scooped some warm water with a spoon, put it against her lips, and fed it into her mouth little by little.
Qin Liuse fluttered her eyelashes, feeling a little uncomfortable watching Emperor Yongjia feeding her water.
In fact, it’s not that he had never been fed before, but it was either mouth-to-mouth or Emperor Yongjia fed him water afterwards.
This is the first time I have experienced such a peaceful moment.
But Qin Liuse still cooperated and opened his mouth, drinking the whole bowl of water one mouthful at a time, because he was really thirsty.
In such an atmosphere, if the two wet nurses had not come in carrying the little prince and the little princess at this time, Qin Liuse would have almost forgotten that she was already a mother.
"The two little masters just burped after drinking milk, and their faces are red. They will fall asleep soon." The wet nurse held the little princess and said to Qin Liuse with a smile.
Qin Liuse leaned on the edge of the bed and took her daughter from the wet nurse. Her movements were still a little unfamiliar.
Because the child was so soft all over, she was very careful, fearing that she might do something wrong.
The nurse kept teaching her, "Ah, yes, that's it, support it with your elbows, it's very good for you, you can do it like this the first time."
The wet nurse is very good at encouraging people.
Although it was not the first time that Emperor Yongjia became a father, he did not hug the baby much.
Therefore, when Emperor Yongjia took the little prince from the wet nurse, his movements were also quite cautious, but he was just a little more skilled than Qin Liuse.
Emperor Yongjia had been a father so many times, but the first time he held his own children was basically at the full-month banquets of the little princesses and princes.
This time, it was also the first time that Emperor Yongjia held Qin Liuse's two children in his arms right after they were born.
Although Emperor Yongjia held the baby better than Qin Liuse, his expression was not as rich as Qin Liuse's.
Qin Liuse glanced at her infant daughter, then at the son in Emperor Yongjia's arms, and frowned.
This is not what the wet nurse said just now, that the baby's face was rosy after drinking milk. It is obvious that both of them are dark and look exactly the same.
Qin Liuse was still a little uncomfortable with how she could have given birth to two identical babies.
Qin Liuse was a little troubled. If she got them mixed up in her daily life, she wouldn't know how to recognize them.
The nurse smiled and thought Qin Liuse's worries were funny. As she got older, she naturally spoke more directly and colloquially. She smiled and said to Qin Liuse, "It's not hard to recognize them. Just open their crotches and you can tell who is the little princess and who is the little prince."
The wet nurse also had something to say about the rosy face.
"This child was so wrinkled and ugly when he was born, but the more he was like this, the more he changed. My queen, you will see that he is very different when he is one month old."
"I see that the little prince and princess have the same good looks as the queen, and they also pick out the good qualities of the emperor. They will definitely be very good-looking princes and princesses in the future!"
Qin Liuse was skeptical and could only believe half of what the wet nurse said, because after all, she was a servant and she would definitely not say anything bad in front of them.
But think about it, when Concubine Zhang and Concubine Zhou gave birth to their son, the little prince seemed to be like this too. When he was first born, his face was full of wrinkles, and he was so small that it was difficult to tell what he looked like.
Thinking of this, Qin Liuse accepted the fact that she gave birth to two monkey-like babies.
The little princess opened her round grape-like eyes, not knowing where she was looking, but she was moving around just now, and now she seemed to be enjoying being held in Qin Liuse's arms.
He pouted his lips, wondering if he could smell the scent of his mother. He moved his little head and rubbed it against Qin Liuse's chest.
Qin Liuse tapped her daughter's mouth and asked, "Baby, are you full? It's a pity that mother has taken down the milk and can't feed you anymore."
Although Qin Liuse's body showed some signs of pregnancy and her breasts were even more bulging than before, for some reason she didn't have much milk. So after the babies were born, both of them had to rely on their wet nurse's milk.
Originally, she didn't have any real feelings about having given birth to a child, but now holding such a soft baby in her arms, Qin Liuse felt warm in her heart, and she seemed to gradually have some feelings of being a mother.
She teased the little princess, and the little princess curled the corners of her mouth, as if she was still smiling.
Qin Liuse muttered, "Don't learn from your father, who smiles so subtly. Learn from your mother."
Qin Liuse said this with a smile. Emperor Yongjia glanced at her and saw how lively she was as a mother, but he didn't say anything. In his heart, he also felt that it was good that the little princess looked like her mother.
The little prince in Emperor Yongjia's arms was not as fond of laughing as his sister. Even in Emperor Yongjia's arms, he had closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep sweetly.
Qin Liuse came closer and wanted to see her son, so Emperor Yongjia stretched out his hand, held him in front of her and took a look at him.
If it weren't for the different patterns on the swaddling clothes, Qin Liuse really wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two.
It’s just that the brother doesn’t seem to like to laugh as much as his sister.
Qin Liuse saw that he had fallen asleep, but did not take him from Emperor Yongjia, for fear that tossing and turning would wake up her son.
But Qin Liuse couldn't bear to let go of the little princess in his hands.
The little princess rolled her eyes and frowned, and she didn't know if she was looking at herself.
Qin Liuse's heart softened when she saw her expression.
I felt warm in my heart and realized that this is what it feels like to be a mother.
I can never get tired of looking at her, and I wish I could just hold her like this forever.
But Qin Liuse had worked hard for an entire afternoon and had just woken up from a nap. When he woke up, the people outside were already preparing dinner for him.
Aunt Mingyue came in and said with a smile, "Is it time to serve the meal? Zhaoyi must be hungry, right?"
Qin Liuse's stomach had been rumbling for a long time. She was indeed hungry, but because she was holding the little princess, she ignored the fact that she was hungry.
Aunt Mingyue went out and asked someone to bring in the meal. Since Qin Liuse had just given birth and had no milk, this meal basically consisted of fish and soup, which were light foods that could increase milk secretion.
Aunt Mingyue brought the food in, put a low table on the bed for Qin Liuse, and served her food in bed.
The wet nurse saw that the food had been brought in and was about to take the little princess, but Qin Liuse pouted and seemed reluctant.
Emperor Yongjia laughed and said, "This is a wet nurse, not someone who wants to steal your daughter."
