The Poisonous Concubine is alive

Liu Yunrou was still a little weak after giving birth, so Ye Chenxuan took care of her.

Really afraid of something happening.

This time, six babies were born.

Ye Chenxuan looked at the babies in their cradles, his heart filled with joy and a sense of responsibility. He gently stroked Liu Yunrou's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my dear. From now on, we will take good care of these little ones together." Liu Yunrou smiled and nodded. Although she was still very weak, her eyes revealed the light of maternal love.

Ye Chenxuan hired the best wet nurses to ensure the children received adequate nutrition. He also personally learned how to change diapers and coax the children to sleep. His busy and fulfilling life made him feel extremely happy.

However, one night, one of the children suddenly developed a high fever. Ye Chenxuan, anxious, immediately employed his medical skills to treat the child. After much effort, the child's temperature finally dropped, and Ye Chenxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. But he knew that as a father, he needed to work even harder to improve his medical skills to protect his family's health.

Liu Yunrou lay gently on the soft bed, beads of sweat on her forehead from childbirth. Although her face was pale, her eyes were filled with the tenderness and joy of a new mother. She looked at Ye Chenxuan, who was sitting beside the bed, and her voice was weak but full of dependence: "Your Majesty, please stay with me." The voice was as soft as a thread, but it was enough to touch Ye Chenxuan's heart. She gently stretched out her hand, as if trying to grasp something. That fragility and trust made Ye Chenxuan's heart soften. He held her hand and replied gently: "I'm here, Yunrou, I will always be with you."

Ye Chenxuan sat beside the bed, quietly accompanying Liu Yunrou. He asked softly, "Are the children all right?" Liu Yunrou nodded slightly, a relieved smile on her face. "Thanks to your majesty's careful care, the children are all healthy." Ye Chenxuan gently stroked Liu Yunrou's hair. "You've worked the hardest. You must take good care of yourself."

At this moment, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the door. Ye Chenxuan looked up and saw an imperial physician enter the room. The physician bowed respectfully to Ye Chenxuan and said, "Your Majesty, I have come to examine the Empress's pulse." Ye Chenxuan stood up and made way for him. "Thank you, Imperial Physician."

After carefully checking Liu Yunrou's pulse, the imperial physician showed a happy expression, "Your Majesty is fine now. You just need more rest to recover." After hearing this, Ye Chenxuan's worries were slightly relieved, "Thank you, imperial physician." He turned around and sat on the edge of the bed again, staring down at Liu Yunrou, "Yunrou, you rest assured. Leave the rest to me." Liu Yunrou opened her red lips slightly, "I'm relieved that Your Majesty is here." Ye Chenxuan smiled slightly, his eyes full of doting.

Ye Chenxuan looked at Liu Yunrou and whispered, "I've already chosen names for our children." He named the six children one by one, each one imbued with deep meaning and beautiful wishes. Liu Yunrou listened, tears of happiness glistening in her eyes.

Ye Chenxuan decided to grant amnesty to the people and celebrate with them. As the news spread throughout the court, the people rejoiced and celebrated the birth of a new royal child. The love story of Ye Chenxuan and Liu Yunrou also became a legendary story.

As time passed, the relationship between Liu Yunrou and Ye Chenxuan grew deeper and deeper. With Ye Chenxuan's companionship and care, Liu Yunrou's health gradually recovered, and she and her child received meticulous care. The following is a possible follow-up to their story:

With Ye Chenxuan's encouragement and support, Liu Yunrou gradually adapted to her role as a mother. Not only did she nurture her child with care, she also actively participated in palace affairs, earning the respect of court officials and common people with her wisdom and gentleness. Ye Chenxuan's love for her grew deeper, and their shared parenting experience only strengthened their bond.

Ye Chenxuan and Liu Yunrou jointly taught their child as he grew up, hoping that he would become a benevolent and wise monarch. Besides his duties, Ye Chenxuan always tried to spend as much time as possible with his family, and their family became a heartwarming sight in the palace.

As time passed, Ye Chenxuan's rule grew more secure, and Liu Yunrou became his most trusted companion and advisor. Their love story spread among the people, becoming a legendary legend. Through their joint efforts, the country prospered and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Eventually, Liu Yunrou and Ye Chenxuan witnessed their child's growth together, until he was able to stand on his own and inherit the throne. In their later years, the two retired behind the scenes, enjoying a peaceful and happy life. Looking back, they have no regrets, because their love and companionship made their lives so complete and beautiful.

Liu Yunrou stood in the pavilion of the imperial garden, her eyes passing through the flourishing flowers and falling on Emperor Ye Chenxuan who was slowly walking towards her in the distance.

A gentle smile played at the corner of her mouth, and her eyes flickered, as if spring water had just been born, full of tenderness. When Ye Chenxuan approached, Liu Yunrou bowed gently, her voice as soft as a spring breeze: "Your Majesty, can you accompany me for a walk in this garden?"

There was a hint of expectation in her tone, but she didn't dare to be too abrupt. Only the desire in her heart was revealed in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

Ye Chenxuan reached out to support her and smiled, "Of course, I also want to take a walk with my beloved." The two walked side by side, passing through the blooming flowers. Ye Chenxuan stopped from time to time, picked a beautiful flower for Liu Yunrou and handed it to her.

Liu Yunrou happily took the flower, sniffing its fragrance with a happy smile on her face. They strolled to the lake, where the water was as clear as a mirror, reflecting the bright moon in the sky.

Ye Chenxuan whispered, "I hope our children can be as pure and lovely as this lake water." Liu Yunrou nodded, gently placed her hand on Ye Chenxuan's, and said with emotion, "Your Majesty, I am so fortunate to be able to spend such a wonderful time with you." Ye Chenxuan held her hand tightly and promised, "I will always be by your side and the children's side."

In the palace life, Liu Yunrou and Ye Chenxuan's daily life is full of ritual and delicate emotional exchanges. The following are some details of the palace life:

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight filtered through the palace windows onto Liu Yunrou's face. She slowly awoke, the gentle murmur of a child in its cradle close to her ears. The palace maids tiptoed into the room to prepare her for washing and dressing. Ye Chenxuan had already risen to attend to state affairs, but before leaving, he always gave Liu Yunrou a warm kiss goodbye and urged her to get plenty of rest.

At breakfast time, Liu Yunrou, accompanied by Ye Chenxuan, would enjoy an exquisite breakfast in the pavilion in the imperial garden. The table was filled with a variety of cakes and freshly picked fruits, and the palace maids stood by, ready to add tea and water at any time.

In the afternoons, Liu Yunrou would read in the palace's study, or study calligraphy and state policy under Ye Chenxuan's guidance. Meanwhile, the child would play nearby under the care of their wet nurse, occasionally letting out a silvery laugh, adding a touch of joy to the solemn palace life.

In the evenings, Ye Chenxuan would put aside his official duties and stroll with Liu Yunrou through the Imperial Gardens. Along the winding paths, they would discuss their day's experiences or plan for the nation's future. The flowers in the garden, carefully tended by them, blossomed with exceptional brightness, as if to celebrate their love.

At night, the palace would hold a small banquet, and Liu Yunrou would wear a gorgeous palace dress and exquisite jewelry on her head, attending with Ye Chenxuan. At the banquet, the palace musicians and dancers would present wonderful performances, and Liu Yunrou and Ye Chenxuan would be the most eye-catching focus of the whole audience.

The love between Liu Yunrou and Ye Chenxuan blossomed through the daily grind of palace life. Not only did they work hand in hand on major state affairs, but they also supported each other in the daily grind of life. This kind of life deepened their relationship and made everyone in the palace feel the warmth of home.

At the dinner, the palace chefs carefully prepared a sumptuous meal. Each dish was an ultimate temptation to the taste buds, reflecting the exquisite skills of palace cooking and the royal style.

First served was a series of exquisite cold dishes, including cold beef cut into chrysanthemum shapes, with clearly visible textures, served with a secret dipping sauce, and tasted tender and juicy; followed by crystal jelly, which was crystal clear, melted in the mouth, and exuded a faint aroma of spices; and there were also plates of attractively colored braised duck tongues, neatly arranged, each one marinated and tasty, with a fragrant aroma.

As the cold dishes were removed, the hot dishes arrived one after another. A braised kirin fish, smothered in a rich sauce and tender with chopped scallions and ginger, was a feast for the eyes, nose, and ears. Next came a braised shiitake mushroom in abalone sauce, its plump mushrooms soaked up the essence of the abalone, offering a rich and smooth texture. Finally, a secret imperial recipe, Eight Treasure Duck, perfectly blended with eight different ingredients, yielded a rich, layered flavor that left a lasting impression.

Following the main course, a series of light vegetarian dishes provide balance. For example, the Jade White Roll, a fresh vegetable wrapped in thin tofu skin, is refreshing and delicious. Another dish, Stir-fried Chinese kale with pine nuts and corn, is vibrant and colorful, perfectly blending the fragrance of the pine nuts with the sweetness of the corn, while the crispness of the kale adds a touch of greenery.

Finally, the highlight of the evening was dessert. Bowl after bowl of exquisite desserts arrived, including almond tofu, delicate and silky in texture, paired with sweet osmanthus syrup; a creamy, creamy imperial cheese dish, lightly frosted with sugar, for a sweet yet refreshing treat; and the highlight was an exquisitely presented fruit platter, showcasing seasonal fruits like lychees, cherries, and grapes, each one meticulously selected and vibrantly vibrant.

The dishes on this table were not only a visual feast, but also a journey for the taste buds. Each dish embodied the superb skills of the palace chefs and their inheritance of the royal culinary culture.

Since marrying into the Qiao family, Liu Yunrou has been the apple of everyone's eye, especially General Qiao, who dotes on her. Now, Liu Yunrou has just experienced the pain of childbirth and successfully gave birth to a son for the Qiao family. Upon hearing the news, General Qiao immediately put aside his military duties and rushed home just to see his daughter and grandson.

Entering his daughter's courtyard, General Qiao's footsteps were much softer. He gently pushed open the door and saw Liu Yunrou lying on the bed. Although her face was slightly pale, her eyes were filled with the joy of being a new mother. General Qiao felt pity and hurried to the bedside. He asked about his daughter's health with concern and personally tucked in the corner of the quilt for her, fearing that she would catch a cold.

At this moment, the rest of the family arrived, their faces beaming with joy. They gathered around the baby, discussing their looks, who looked more like Liu Yunrou, and who had inherited the Qiao family's heroic spirit. Seeing everyone so fondly cherish their child, Liu Yunrou felt a warm warmth in her heart, as if all her fatigue had melted away.

General Qiao was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He carefully picked up his little grandson, his loving expression a stark contrast to his usual majestic image. He gently teased the child, his eyes full of doting, as if the whole world had become gentle at this moment.

Liu Yunrou was surrounded by the care and love of her family. She felt as if she was being pampered to the skies, and her heart was filled with gratitude and happiness. She knew that in this family, she was not only a wife and a mother, but also a precious daughter who would always be held in the palm of their hands.
