Chapter 213: Twins of the Twin Palace

Zheng Yi took Su Xi back to the capital, and the two kept communicating in the sedan chair along the way.

Zheng Yi talked about some interesting things in the palace, as well as some little jokes from his past life, which made Su Xi laugh constantly.

Under Zheng Yi's deliberate guidance, Su Xi also talked about some of her past with her grandfather Tian Xingzi.

According to Su Xi, she and her grandfather have been living in seclusion in a valley in Binzhou.

The valley was shrouded in a magic formation, which was completely invisible to mortals, and more than ten years passed like this.

Living in seclusion with them was a small village guarded by Tian Xingzi, whose inhabitants were all members of Tian Xingzi's clansmen, who provided him with some living resources.

This group of people stayed away from the war because of Tian Xingzi, so they respect and admire Tian Xingzi very much.

In fact, Su Xi is not Tian Xingzi’s biological granddaughter, but a girl from Tian Xingzi’s tribe.

Among the entire clan, only Su Xi possesses spiritual roots, so Tian Xingzi considers her his granddaughter.

The two of them were both teacher and grandparents, and Tian Xingzi taught them everything he knew.

Today, Su Xi is already a cultivator at the third level of Qi training.

As soon as he entered the capital, a eunuch hurried over. After some communication with the imperial guards, the eunuch successfully approached Zheng Yi's sedan chair.

"What's the matter?"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Both Concubine Jie and Concubine Yu have successfully given birth to princes for you!"

"What? Jie'er and Yu'er have given birth?"

"Return to the palace immediately!"

He had been prepared for the two women's childbirth, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

The two women became pregnant on the same day and gave birth on the same day, so he had already ordered people to make preparations.

He was very calm about the birth of the two princes. After all, he already knew the answer.

Compared with the two princes, he cares more about Jie'er and Yu'er.

After all, a pair of beautiful lotus flowers is rare, and both girls have wind-attributed spiritual roots, which makes it even rarer.

The sedan chair sped up, and Su Xi in the carriage asked curiously: "Your Majesty, you have a child?"

"Of course."

Zheng Yi said: "I have ten princesses, and six... No, now I have eight princes."

"Two of the concubines are already pregnant and will give birth in half a year at most."

"so much!"

Su Xi was surprised and said, "There are so few children in our village, and many of them die young. Two of my friends died in accidents when they were young."

"It's a pity that grandpa was in seclusion at that time, otherwise he would have been able to save them."

Zheng Yi became interested: "Xi'er, did Taoist Tian Xingzi also teach you the art of divination?"

"Yes."

Su Xi nodded and said, "In addition to the art of divination, there are also physiognomy and astrology, but I have only learned the basics."

"As for Feng Shui and formations, my grandfather didn't teach them. He said that only by traveling around the world and experiencing the earth's veins and the sky's appearance in person can one learn Feng Shui and formations."

"So, this time grandpa took me out, it can be considered as traveling."

"That's it~"

The two of them talked while resting. Under Zheng Yi's deliberate guidance, Su Xi's vigilance relaxed a lot and his mood became cheerful.

After all, she was just a little girl, and had just left her parents. She was innocent and easily deceived by Zheng Yi... Oh no, she was persuaded by Zheng Yi.

When Zheng Yi's sedan chair slowly entered the palace, Su Xi couldn't help but stick her head out of the window and look around.

"Wow, your majesty, the walls of the palace are so high!"

“There are so many people, they are so beautiful~”

"Is that a dragon sculpture? So majestic..."

Su Xi watched in amazement, and as Zheng Yi's sedan chair moved forward, the passing palace maids, eunuchs, and guards knelt down to salute.

After the sedan chair passed by, almost all the eunuchs and palace maids were talking about it.

"Who is that girl? Why is she on your Majesty's sedan chair?"

"Shh... Shut up! The woman who can ride in His Majesty's sedan chair will definitely be a concubine in the future!"

"I envy her so much, if I could also..."

The news that His Majesty had returned to the palace and that a young girl was accompanying him in the sedan chair quickly spread throughout the palace.

This is the first time this has happened since Your Majesty ascended the throne.

Many people are speculating about the identity of this girl. Who on earth could she be able to confuse His Majesty?

There were even quite a few people who opened betting sites to bet on when this girl would be made a concubine by His Majesty.

The first time a person is conferred the title of consort, will she be a noble lady, a concubine, or... directly a consort?
When Zheng Yi stepped into the Bingdi Palace, the mature and beautiful Concubine Zhen hurriedly brought people to greet him.

"Your Majesty, I greet you~!"

"Be flat."

Concubine Zhen quickly stood up and said joyfully, "Your Majesty, Jie'er and Yu'er have given birth to a prince, it's really great... Eh? This sister is..."

She was so happy just now that she only realized at this moment that there was a young girl following Zheng Yi, so she felt a little strange.

Zheng Yi explained: "A senior has been staying in the palace for a while."

"Oh~"

Concubine Zhen did not suspect anything and stepped aside, saying, "Your Majesty, please~"

Zheng Yi nodded and walked towards the Twin Palace: "By the way, where are the Queen and the others?"

"Your Majesty, the Queen came early in the morning. After Jie'er and Yu'er gave birth, they chatted with the other sisters for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, I asked them to go back first."

"That's fine too."

As he spoke, he stepped into the Twin Palace.

The Twin Palace is the bedroom of Jie'er, Yu'er and their mother Li Lizhen.

Jie'er and Yu'er are concubines, so logically speaking, they should be the main ones in the Twin Palace.

But, after all, Concubine Zhen is their mother.

Therefore, in the entire Bingdi Palace, it was Concubine Zhen who made the decisions as a concubine.

But no one thought there was anything unusual.

Soon Zheng Yi met Jie'er and Yu'er.

Perhaps in order to take care of both of them at the same time, Concubine Zhen actually arranged the two women to live in the same bedroom.

The two women's dragon and phoenix beds were also next to each other, and they were resting at the moment.

A palace maid had already announced that His Majesty was coming, and the two girls had dressed up carefully. But even so, Zheng Yi still felt a little distressed, as they were so adorable.

"I have met your Majesty..."

"My two beloved concubines, please lie down quickly~"

Zheng Yi walked over quickly, holding one of them in each hand, full of heartache. "My beloved concubine, you have worked hard to give birth to a child for me."

Jie Er was the first to speak: "It is an honor for me and my sister to give birth to a prince for Your Majesty."

"Yes, Your Majesty, my sister has always been clamoring to give birth to a child for Your Majesty, and now her wish has finally come true."

"Go to hell~ You're the same, you even insisted on having two children, a boy and a girl..."

"Hahaha~"

Zheng Yi laughed and said, "Give birth! Give birth to both! You'll have a chance in the future~!"

Looking at the happy smiles of her two daughters, Concubine Zhen was also filled with joy, and tears couldn't help but seep out of the corners of her eyes.

Once upon a time, she also imagined what kind of husband Jie'er Yu'er would marry, and they would respect each other and treat each other as equals.

But they never expected that they would become the emperor's concubines.

Even she herself was trapped in it.

After chatting for a while, Zheng Yi asked, "By the way, where is the child?"

Concubine Zhen said, "She's next door. I'll have someone bring her over right away."

Soon, two loud cries were heard, and two wet nurses came out, coaxing the babies while holding them in their arms.

"Wow~"

"Wow~"

A nurse said, "Your Majesty, listen, the two little princes are crying very loudly. It seems that they are very healthy."

"Not bad."

Zheng Yi also stood up to check and said, "All the palace maids in the Bingdi Palace have been rewarded!"

"Your Majesty~"

Concubine Zhen said: "The Queen and I have already been rewarded."

"It's different. That's the reward from the Queen and you. How can my reward be less?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

Several clever eunuchs and palace maids who were serving on the side all knelt down and expressed their gratitude.

"Get up! You have done a great job in taking care of Concubine Jie and Concubine Yu, so I will not be stingy with rewards."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"By the way, Your Majesty, the two princes have not been named yet. I wonder..."

Zhenpin asked cautiously that the prince's name must be discussed with His Majesty or the royal family and ministers in the court, and it also contains some special meanings.

Zheng Yi said, "Don't worry... Xi'er, didn't you say you learned physiognomy from Taoist Master Tian Xingzi? Can you take a look at the two children for me?"

Su Xi frowned and said, "Your Majesty, a baby is born innocent and has a trace of innate energy, so it is impossible to read his face."

"Oh? How old is that?"

"At least we have to wait until the baby's sky gate closes."

"I see……"

The so-called Tianmen is actually the fontanelle on the baby's head.

According to Taoist legend, the fontanelle is the place where infants receive their innate energy.

As the baby grows up and is contaminated by vulgarity, the sky gate will close and the baby will no longer be able to sense the innate energy.

"But I can read the faces of the two sisters. If you add up their lives and the lives of the children, you can also vaguely see the fate of the two princes."

"Oh~ let's take a look at that piece~"

Zheng Yi stepped aside and Su Xi also walked over.

Concubine Jie was surprised and asked, "Your Majesty, this sister is~"

"A senior's granddaughter, I am asked to take care of her for a few days."

Concubine Yu pouted and said, "What do you mean by 'senior's granddaughter'? I think she is your Majesty's new concubine~"

"Yu'er, don't talk nonsense~"

Zheng Yi's tone turned cold, and Concubine Yu was also startled. She subconsciously lowered her head and said, "I spoke out of turn, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"It's nothing, just relax and let Xier read your face."

"Yes!"

Su Xi first came to Concubine Jie and examined her carefully.

Starting from the top of the head, passing through the center of the eyebrows, pupils, wings of the nose, to the lips and chin, he checked while making hand gestures with one hand, and no one knew what he was calculating.

Then he turned to look at Concubine Yu again and repeated his previous action, but his eyes showed some speculation.

"Your Majesty, the two concubines both have the appearance of great wealth and honor."

"A full forehead and a round chin indicate great wealth."

"The light is as black as lacquer and as thin as silk, which is the appearance of wealth and nobility in the world. The long and wide hair is more extraordinary than ordinary people, and the southern shape and northern appearance are even more extraordinary."

"Both concubines are northerners with southern appearances, which is a great honor."

"From this we can see that the princes born to the two concubines are also destined to be rich and noble."

After hearing this, Jie'er, Yu'er and Zhenpin were all delighted, and they looked at Su Xi with much more affectionate eyes.

"but……"

Su Xi's tone suddenly changed, and he said, "If this face appeared in an ordinary family, it would mean great wealth and honor."

"But in the royal family, we are already very rich and powerful, so why should we go further?"

"If you stick to your original intention, you will naturally have no worries and live a long life."

"Once you are too ambitious and greedy, disaster will come."

"The Yin Fu Jing says: When heaven is murderous, dragons and snakes rise from the land; when man is murderous, heaven and earth are reversed; when heaven and man are murderous together, all changes are settled!"

Royal!

The expressions of everyone present changed, and they vaguely guessed what Su Xi was talking about.

Born into a royal family, one is naturally rich and powerful.

But when greed arises, disaster will come.

What is greed?

Of course it’s the throne!

"Your Majesty~"

Concubine Jie, Concubine Yu, and Concubine Zhen all looked at Zheng Yi subconsciously, feeling uneasy.

Zheng Yi suddenly laughed and said, "It suddenly occurred to me that the child born to Jie'er and Yu'er is my own flesh and blood."

"I just don't know how to address Concubine Zhen?"
