Chapter 334: Chapter 333: The Empress is mighty and domineering, boy and girl twins are a heavenly blessing (two Chapters combined into one 4000 words)

Shen Chuwei nodded in agreement, realizing that if the Emperor found out, it would be equivalent to everyone knowing and it would definitely cause trouble.

She was also afraid they would disturb her peaceful life.

She was quite content with her current situation.

The Empress said indignantly, "The Emperor is being obstinate, when the time comes, we won’t let the Emperor see the babies, we won’t let the Emperor hold the babies, let him regret it. No, he won’t even have a place to regret."

He always embraced them left and right and yet, he always complained about her, constantly reminding her that she’s not getting any younger!

The thing women hate the most is when their age is mentioned, and he brings it up every single day.

She had finally found a way to make the dog Emperor regret his actions.

Let him be arrogant and look down on everyone every day.

She had said it from the beginning, Lady Liang didn’t commit any serious offense, yet the dog Emperor was obstinate.

If she didn’t make him feel deflated, it would be too forgiving considering his behavior.

Shen Chuwei was shocked and secretly gave a thumbs up. The Empress was really tough, daring to do things others wouldn’t dare to do and say things others wouldn’t dare to say!

Concubine Xu, your ideas can now be realized.

At this moment, Chun Xi brought over the steamed corn.

Seeing corn for the first time, the Empress examined it curiously for a while and asked Shen Chuwei, "What is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

"Empress, this is corn, please have a taste," Shen Chuwei picked up an ear of corn and offered it to the Empress. It had cooled down and was not hot.

The Empress took the corn from her hand with curiosity.

Xiao Jinyu just happened to be a bit hungry at that moment, and seeing something to eat that he had never tried before, he naturally wanted to taste it.

"Lady Liang, I want some too."

Holding an ear in each hand, Shen Chuwei handed one to Xiao Jinyu and then took a bite from the one she held. It was fresh, juicy, and somewhat sweet.

If the journey hadn’t been so long, she would have wanted to send some for Xiao Jinyan to try as well.

Seeing Shen Chuwei biting directly into the whole ear, and considering that there were no outsiders present, the Empress decided to just bite in without any reservations.

Xiao Jinyu was completely stunned by the sight, his usually dignified and graceful mother was actually eating it with bites –

He took a bite of the corn and found it tasted quite good.

Shen Chuwei remembered the small rabbit from Xiaoxiang Pavilion hadn’t been released and thought that the Empress should have a way to get the small rabbit out.

"Empress, the small rabbit from Xiaoxiang Pavilion was taken away by the Imperial Guard a few days ago, could you have the Imperial Guard release him?"

The Empress agreed very readily, "What’s so difficult about that?"

She turned her head to give an order to Steward Ren, "Go and have a look in the prison, have someone release the small rabbit."

"As you command." Steward Ren bowed and left to carry out the order.

Seeing this, Shen Chuwei sighed in relief, knowing that the small rabbit would finally be able to return.

After sitting for a while, the Empress and Xiao Jinyu left.

Shen Chuwei continued to eat her fruit platter.

Before long, Chun Xi came with good news.

"Young Mistress, the small rabbit has returned."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chuwei looked up in surprise, "So soon? Where is he?"

Soon after, the small rabbit came in from outside, looking disheveled after spending three days in the prison.

The small rabbit was a bit embarrassed, "Young Mistress, I failed to accomplish the task."

Shen Chuwei replied nonchalantly, "It’s alright, go wash up and eat something, we’ll talk later."

"Thank you, Young Mistress." The small rabbit turned and left to follow her instructions.

That night, Shen Chuwei took out some paper and a pen to write a letter to Xiao Jinyan.

By the time Xiao Jinyan received the letter, he would probably already be on his way back.

In addition to the usual greetings, Shen Chuwei also told Xiao Jinyan that the Empress and Prince Jinyu were aware of her pregnancy.

And she relayed the Empress’s defiant ideas to Xiao Jinyan.

She included corresponding expressions after every paragraph.

For example, for the Empress’s ideas, she drew a thumbs up followed by a sneaky smile.

After finishing the letter, Shen Chuwei folded it neatly into an envelope, placed it on the bedside table, and then went to sleep peacefully.

The next morning, Shen Chuwei asked Qin Xiao to send the letter out.

When Concubine Xu and Lady Liang arrived, Shen Chuwei was eating lotus seeds, and they were lotus seeds with the stems intact – possibly because they were cultivated with Spiritual Spring Water, they had ripened late.

Just as she finished eating, the two walked in one after the other.

As soon as Lady Liang entered, she couldn’t wait to ask, "Lady Liang, are you really carrying twins?"

On the way here, Concubine Xu secretly told Lady Liang that Shen Chuwei had two in her womb, to her surprise and delight.

Shen Chuwei nodded, "Yes, there are two babies."

"Two babies, there’s no precedent for twins in the Royal Family," Lady Liang stared at Shen Chuwei’s belly, although her family had always been in business, this matter was no secret, and many were aware of it.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xu thought for a moment and then suddenly let out a sly laugh, "Then the Emperor, upon learning this, will be extremely overjoyed, won’t he?"
