In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

During this period, everything was going well and everything was going smoothly.

In the new house, because Mu Yao's belly was becoming more and more obvious, the relationship between the eight husbands became unprecedentedly harmonious. Even the friction between Shen Chutang and Wei Wushang decreased, and their battles went from one every three days to one every ten days.

At first, Mu Yao was both worried and terrified, fearing that the two of them would get hurt. Later, as the number of clashes increased, she felt that the two were not fighting just for old grudges, and it seemed that they were more of a mutual learning competition. So she just let it go and let them do what they wanted.

Gongsun Li would often join them with great interest to satisfy their desire.

He now lives with Li Changan in the Reverie Garden. Every day they drink tea, play chess, play the zither and the sheng. Occasionally they sing a song, and their friendship grows stronger, like an arm-cutting alliance.

The leisurely and comfortable life made Li Changan want to retire. It was not until Mu Yao's belly became rounder and heavier that he finally made up his mind to retire and submit to Emperor Qingyuan.

Emperor Qingyuan tried his best to retain him.

Li Changan's current status is not only the Grand Tutor of Dayun, but also the father-in-law of the King of Nanjiang and the father-in-law of the Imperial Master of Beiming. He refused to let him go no matter what. Not only did he reward him with three large mansions and ten thousand taels of gold as a comfort, but he was also exempted from attending court every day. Li Changan was unable to refuse the Emperor's sincere wishes, so he had to continue to live a retirement life under the title of Grand Tutor.

The Southern Xinjiang Emperor Ji Qi asked Lan Yan and Xian Ning to stay in Dayun for a long time to pay close attention to Mu Yao's pregnancy and delivery, and bring her back to Southern Xinjiang as soon as she finished her confinement.

His strength and tyranny became a thorn in Xu Qingcheng's eyes, but Mu Yao could not refuse Ji Qi this time. First, she had promised him before. Second, if she refused this time, she always felt that Ji Qi would not give up easily.

A harmonious family is the key to success, so she decided to compromise and go back to southern Xinjiang for some time.

Xie Ci had visited Mu Yao three times so far, and each time he came and left in a hurry. Mu Yao felt that among all the husbands, he was the least like a couple with her.

Every time I looked at his back as he left, regret flashed through my mind. If I hadn't married him, maybe he would have lived a better life instead of traveling back and forth like he does now.

In a blink of an eye, another half a year has passed.

Mu Yao's due date is approaching.

Shi Jingchan returned to the Poison Valley and took back the "Living God". He took half of it and refined it with Xiao Douxue into a bottle of assisted childbirth pill named "Shun Sui" to reduce the pain and minimize the risk during Mu Yao's childbirth. Yu Heng even used the jade pendant that his great grandfather had worn to ward off disasters and bring blessings to him.

On the eighth day of the seventh month, Mu Yao gave birth, and the people who delivered her were Aunt Yan and others who had been seen at the music banquet before. That day, auspicious clouds fell from the sky, the clouds rolled up, and the moon shone brightly.

After a burst of crying, two little lives were born one after another.

The one that comes out first is a boy, and the one that comes out last is a girl.

Li Changan was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He rubbed his hands, breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully held the baby girl in his arms. He didn't dare to put her close to his chest, for fear that his hard chest would hurt the little girl.

Yu Heng was anxious and struggled for a few times, wanting to take his daughter back home. However, seeing his father-in-law's cautious gestures and smug expression, he was afraid that he could not give up the idea for the time being.

He saw Xiao Douxue about to reach out to take his son from the corner of his eye, so he immediately took a big step forward, stood in front of him and took the child.

"My dear, the way you hold the baby is wrong." Yan Hua was watching Yu Heng holding the baby and was so shocked that he stopped breathing. Without thinking twice, he took the baby back.

"Aunt Yan, I can hold the child. Let me hold him." Xiao Douxue was amused by Yu Heng's behavior of using his own mean heart to measure a gentleman's belly. He took the child from Aunt Yan's hands and snorted heavily: "Mr. Yu, although you are the biological father of this child, you must not forget that they have to call me dad too. If you act too much, my wife will be unhappy."

Yu Heng was furious. Not only did he fail to hold his daughter, but his son was snatched away less than three breaths after he was able to hold him.

"You guys be quiet. Your daughter just gave birth and she's still weak." Yan Hua reminded them with a frown.

"Aunt Yan, how long will it take before I can see Yaoyao?" Yu Heng asked nervously.

"Half a cup of tea, maybe. But you can't all go in at once. Let Mr. Yu go in and talk to my wife for a while." Yan Hua looked at the door outside and said carefully. There were dozens of people waiting outside the door. This noble lady Mu was really lucky. The birthing scene was the most grand one she had ever seen in her life.

"Aunt Yan, can I go in and see my daughter later?" Li Changan asked suspiciously.

"Sir, of course you can." Yan Hua replied respectfully. Even if it is inappropriate, it is appropriate now.

Mu Yao lay on the bed, her mind was extremely clear, and she didn't feel the pain of the wound. The two little guys cooperated very well, and she just put a little effort and they went down.

"Madam, your body is amazing. I have never seen any other lady give birth as smoothly as you do." Li Xuefang was amazed and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Mu Yao knew that the "Shun Sui Dan" must have worked. Taking advantage of the postpartum period, she thought of two names for the two children: Yu Zhe and Yu Jia. It must be said that Yu Heng's last name was a bit difficult to choose, but she tried her best.

As Aunt Yan said, "You can go in and see your wife," Yu Heng immediately took his son from Xiao Douxue and went into the house with his father-in-law.

Xiao Douxue followed closely behind, but was ruthlessly blocked by Yan Hua at the door. The half-smiley look in Yan Hua's eyes clearly warned him that it was not time for him to go in and visit, so he had to wait outside the door obediently.

Yu Heng looked at Mu Yao's weak appearance, his heart was in a knot and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Jiyun, stop crying. The beads hit the baby." Mu Yao was so distressed that she opened her arms to take her son.

"Yaoyao, have a good rest. You will be able to hold her later." Li Changan comforted her. He held his granddaughter and moved closer to his daughter. Just as he was about to sit down, Li Xuefang stopped him immediately: "Lord, it is not appropriate for you to sit here. Your daughter needs to rest. How about you come back later?" There were still many things to do after giving birth, and she was very anxious.

"Aunt Li is right. By the way, my sons-in-law and relatives would like to come and see Yaoyao later. Is it convenient?" Li Changan asked tentatively.

Wu Shang and his relatives from Qing Nang Manor had been waiting for a long time. This time, even the legendary ancestor of Qing Nang Manor, Yu Naiqian, came.

Of course it’s inconvenient!

"No." Li Xuefang refused outright. She was much more straightforward than Yan Hua.

Li Changan's face froze, as if he had not expected to be rejected so ruthlessly. Mu Yao quickly comforted him, "Dad, why don't you and Jiyun take the children out to show them? I have thought of names for the two children: Yuzhe and Yujia. Mingzhizhe, Huanxijia. Do you think there are any better names? We will decide on the names later."

"Good! Good! Good!" Li Changan was so excited that his big hands holding his granddaughter could not help but tremble.

He has been reading books all his life, is well-versed in ancient and modern times, and is well-informed. It is time for him to think carefully about names for his two children.
