Chapter 316 Beautiful Spider Spirit VS Cold and Ascetic Monk 20
Yu Yao had no idea what the midwife was thinking. She looked at the two newborn babies with a very gentle expression.

The two little ones were not as red and wrinkled as other babies when they were just born. Instead, they were cute, rosy and tender, and extremely beautiful.

The little arms and legs were waving with so much energy, and they looked so healthy at first glance, which melted the heart of this old mother.

"Midwife, you guys have worked so hard."

She glanced at the two children, then looked up at the midwife and expressed gratitude.

The midwife smiled and said, "Madam, why do you have to say these things? The two children are so good-looking and smart. As long as you raise them well, Madam will have a secure life in the future."

Yu Yao smiled tiredly, she understood what the midwife meant. In the eyes of others, she was a widow whose husband had died. Now that her husband was gone, she would have to rely on her children in the future.

"I will naturally raise them well. I don't expect them to be successful, as long as they are safe and sound."

She looked at the two babies in the cradle and spoke softly in a weak voice.

The midwife also smiled and said, "Madam, you are absolutely right. As a mother, I only hope that my child will be healthy and safe."

She knew that Yu Yao had just given birth and was weak, so she didn't say much to her and quickly took the baby away.

Outside the delivery room.

When Aunt Zhou heard the baby crying, she knew the baby was born. She breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly pushed the door open.

It was not convenient for Zhou Bo and Goudan to enter the delivery room, so they could only wait anxiously at the door.

When the midwife saw Aunt Zhou coming in, she smiled and said, "Oh, sister, you've come just in time. Please look after the two children for a while while I clean up here."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou hurried forward to look after the two children, saying, "Okay, okay, don't say that. This is what I should do."

She walked quickly to the two children, and her heart softened when she saw the tiny babies wrapped in swaddling clothes.

But then, I felt pity for these two children who were born without a father.

Thinking how nice my wife is, I treat my two children as if they were my grandchildren.

Aunt Zhou carefully looked after the two children and went to see Yu Yao. Seeing that she was fine and just fell asleep due to excessive fatigue, she was relieved.

Thinking that the two children were just born and had not eaten yet, and that my wife had just given birth and might not have milk yet, fortunately there was a ewe in the backyard.

Before my wife gave birth, she specifically asked me to buy it for her, for fear that she wouldn't have enough milk when the baby was born.

Aunt Zhou asked Uncle Zhou to go to the backyard to squeeze the goat's milk, heat it up, and wait until it reached the right temperature before carefully feeding it to the two children.

The two children were obviously very hungry, but they ate happily.

Aunt Zhou gave birth to six children, but unfortunately they all died while fleeing famine, leaving behind her, the old man, and her grandson Goudan.

She knew that the baby had a weak spleen and stomach and was very small, so she didn't dare feed him too much. When she saw that the baby was almost full, she stopped.

When Yu Yao woke up, she found that the mattress and cushion on the bed had been changed, and her clothes had also been changed, and they were clean and fresh.

The bloody smell in the air had dissipated a lot, and was instead filled with the fragrance of mugwort. It was obvious that the room had been fumigated with mugwort.

She swallowed a fitness pill and was about to see where the child was.

I saw Aunt Zhou pushing the door open with a bowl in her hand. As soon as I smelled it, I knew it was chicken soup.

"Ma'am, are you awake?"

When Aunt Zhou saw that she had woken up, she put aside the chicken soup in her hand, walked quickly forward, gently helped her up and sat her against the head of the bed, and found a pillow to support her back.

"Aunt Zhou, where are the two children? Have you fed them?"

Yu Yao looked around the house and didn't see the child, so she couldn't help but ask.

Aunt Zhou smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Madam, the two children have been fed, milked by the ewe in the backyard, and are now asleep. I was afraid that they would disturb Madam's rest, so I took them to the next room.

Hearing that the child had already eaten and was sleeping in the next room, Yu Yao did not ask any more questions.

"Madam, you must be hungry. I made some chicken soup for you. Have a bowl of it first to fill your stomach. Madam, you are weak, so you don't have to get out of bed. You can eat in bed. There are no outsiders around anyway."

As Aunt Zhou spoke, she moved a low table and placed it beside the bed, with a bowl of chicken soup on it.

"Aunt Zhou is right." Yu Yao smiled faintly, but did not go downstairs. She just sat on the bed and drank chicken soup.

"By the way, Aunt Zhou, have the two midwives left?" She suddenly remembered something and asked while drinking chicken soup.

"I have already gone back and given the wedding money, madam, don't worry."

Aunt Zhou replied with a smile.

She nodded slightly, and didn't ask any more questions, just drinking the chicken soup in peace.

It must be said that Aunt Zhou’s cooking skills are quite good. The chicken soup is fragrant and delicious. She finished the bowl of chicken soup very quickly.

Seeing that she had finished drinking, Aunt Zhou took the bowl and the low table away.

He kept saying, "Madam, have a good rest. It is very important for women to have confinement after childbirth."

Yu Yao had slept for so long and didn't want to sleep anymore. "Aunt Zhou, please bring the two children over. I want to see them."

"Okay, wait a moment, ma'am."

Seeing that the lady wanted to see the children, Aunt Zhou did not refuse. She quickly brought the two children back and put them on her bed, sleeping next to her, one on each side.

The two children did not wake up and were still sleeping soundly, like two pink and tender little pigs.

Her heart melted when she saw this, but she didn't kiss him. It's not that she doesn't like kissing children.

But she knew that this was not good for the child, especially a newborn, so even if she liked the baby, she would not kiss him randomly.

What’s more, it was ancient times when conditions were backward.

She also told Aunt Zhou and the others not to kiss children randomly, as some older people like to kiss children very much.

She was afraid that Aunt Zhou would think too much and think that he disliked her, so she deliberately explained it in a tactful way.

Fortunately, Aunt Zhou is an open-minded person. She heard that kissing a child is not good for the child, so she naturally would not do that.

She gave her two children nicknames: her son An'an, which means peace and safety, and her daughter Youyou, which means happiness and carefree.

As for the names of the two children, she has not yet decided.

She was also very conflicted about what surname to take.

Logically speaking, the two children should have the surname Xuan Ji, but Xuan Ji is his Buddhist name, not his secular name.

"Tongtong, what do you think about having two children with my last name?"

She teased An An, who had already woken up and was blowing bubbles, and asked the system in her heart.

The system quickly popped up and said, "If the child takes your last name, the first mission cannot be considered completed, because the mission requires giving birth to an heir to the male protagonist of the plane, so the child naturally has to take the male protagonist's last name for it to count."

Yu Yao frowned, "What kind of broken rule is this? If it doesn't have Xuan Ji's surname, then it's not his child? Besides, Xuan Ji is his Buddhist name. I can't let the child have the surname Xuan, and I don't even know his secular name."

She really didn't know what Xuan Ji's secular name was, maybe he didn't have one.

When Xuan Ji was still a baby, he was secretly placed at the gate of Wanfo Temple. No one knew who his parents were, what his names were, or where he was from.

It is not mentioned in the plot, it just says that Xuan Ji is a high monk of Wanfo Temple and was adopted and raised by the abbot of Wanfo Temple since childhood.

"Don't tell me, this is what it says."

The system yawned and lazily explained, "Xuan Ji's family name is Dugu. His real identity is the child of the old emperor's favorite woman, the son of Concubine Min. Concubine Min was the most favored in the six palaces, which made people jealous. He had no support from his mother's family, so he was attacked during childbirth."

Yu Yao's eyes widened in shock, "What did you say? Xuan Ji is Concubine Min's child? Does that mean he is actually the prince?"

"Well, Concubine Min knew that she would not live long, so she secretly gave the child to her personal maid Ruyan and asked Ruyan to raise the child. Ruyan agreed and secretly took the child out of the palace."

The system paused and continued: "Not long after Ruyan left the palace, she met her childhood sweetheart. The two had a deep affection for each other and naturally discussed marriage. But the man disliked the child as a burden, so he asked Ruyan to throw the child away. Ruyan was conflicted, but for the sake of her lover, she finally chose to give up the child. One night, she secretly placed the child at the gate of Wanfo Temple."

After listening to the system's narration, Yu Yao just felt that Xuan Ji was so pitiful. He was a good prince and the son of a royal concubine. He should have been rich and powerful, but he became a monk.

"Does Xuan Ji know these life stories himself?" she asked the system.

The system shook its head. "He doesn't know. The old abbot does know a little bit. Children of the royal family always have some tokens on them, but he didn't tell Xuan Ji. I don't know if he will tell him in the future."
