TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Langya was not humble in the face of Hongli's praise, as she had contributed to it.

"It's just that Your Majesty will have to work hard during this period. Your energy is limited, and the maids will inevitably have to disturb you."

Hongli agreed with a big laugh. He never minded these little things.

"Your Majesty, please take some time to visit the other sisters. Pregnancy is a sensitive time and this is when you need your company."

Langya coaxed Hongli away with just a few words.

After he left, Yonglian and Jingxi were also brought in.

The two little guys stared at Langya's belly curiously. They had heard that there would be new brothers and sisters soon.

"Mother Empress, can I touch you?"

Jingxi lay on the edge of the bed, looking up at Langya and acting coquettishly, talking about the little brother or sister who was about to be born.

She is really looking forward to it.

Langya was amused by her eager look, scratched her nose, and then rubbed Yonglian's head.

She took Jingxi's hand and placed it on her lower abdomen. "Why can't you touch it? But I can't see anything now. I'm afraid I'll disappoint you."

Yonglian also touched it carefully.

The two of them couldn't hide their excitement on their faces. They also had younger brothers and sisters, but the time between them was too short.

It can be said that they grew up together and had never seen what it was like for a woman to be pregnant.

"Empress Dowager, can I play the lute for you? Empress Hui said that when you were pregnant with my sister and me, she often came to play the pipa for you."

As soon as Jingxi finished speaking, a palace maid stood up holding a zither. It was obvious that she had thought of this a long time ago and was so well prepared.

"No no no..."

Yonglian was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't dare let his sister see his disgust.

He stood up and stood in front of the palace maid, shaking his head in disagreement.

"I think my sister might not like listening to the piano. She must be a good child who loves reading. I want to read to her."

Jingxi's focus was on this "sister". How could she talk about something uncertain?

She frowned and retorted, "What if it's a younger brother? Would he feel that we don't welcome him when he hears you say that?"

"This……"

Yonglian raised his hand and fiddled with the jade pendant on his waist, thinking seriously. He felt that what his sister said made sense, but he also wanted a sister who was born of the same mother as him.

This is the saddest thing that has happened to him since he was a child.

They were obviously twins, so why was he born one step later than his sister? The difference between them is huge.

When Yonglian was a child, he was ignorant. When he couldn't argue with Jingxi, he would run to Langya and cry, wanting the Empress Dowager to turn him into a brother.

In this way, he has the reputation of teaching his younger sister, which is very useful and naturally suppresses her because of his status.

This farce gradually disappeared until the two of them grew up.

"Then I'll call you brother and you'll call me sister. That's fair, right?"

"But what if the other one thinks we don't like her/him?"

……

Langya didn't say anything either, but smiled as she watched her two babies discussing something seriously. They seemed to have forgotten that not all children are twins.

By the way, he looked up and gave the palace maid a look, telling her to leave quickly. This zither...

It's not necessary to listen to it.

It's amazing to say that Gao Xiyue is an excellent pipa player. When Langya was pregnant, she used to play it in different ways.

I also carefully selected the songs, and excluded any that had any sadness in them.

But somehow, Jingxi, who was born in this atmosphere, seemed to have figured out another way.

They had the same master, but she learned everything in a mess.

The same fingering, rigorous strength, and the effect are always unexpected.

It sounds so ugly!

Langya wanted her to give up this hobby and not force it if she was not good at it, but unfortunately, the opposite happened.

After being criticized for the first time, Jingxi went to Hongli and cried for a long time. Feeling sorry for his daughter, he immediately ordered that no one should talk about this matter and not let the eldest princess be sad.

Langya also wanted to know when her daughter would be able to correctly understand her abilities, so she simply accompanied Hongli to coax her daughter.

To this day, Jingxi is still proud of her excellent piano skills.

However, she didn't have many opportunities to perform, and there would always be some small accidents every time, which made her quite regretful.

The discussion between the two finally came to a conclusion, and they unanimously chose the name that would be least wrong.

Yonglian and Jingxi looked at each other, coughed, stood up straight, and reported the results of their research to Langya with reluctance.

"Empress Mother, from now on, the little one in your belly will be called Baby. My sister and I have decided to bear the pain and donate this name to you."

"Yes, Empress Dowager, please don't call us like that from now on, or the baby will be upset if he hears it."

Jingxi blinked her big eyes at Langya, and the butterfly hair accessory on her head swayed gently with her movements.

Langya could hardly maintain the smile on her lips. He acted so seriously, did he really think she was easy to fool?

It's just that I feel like I've grown up and I feel ashamed when being called a baby.

"Okay, okay...don't regret it later."

A trace of nostalgia flashed in Langya's eyes. She had experienced similar scenes many times. Even if time had faded those memories, the system would also weaken her perception.

But she still thinks of the children she raised.

When they are young, they are obedient and gentle, but when they grow up, they reject such intimate names. However, when they are old, they begin to miss them.

That is the love from the elders.

The harem suddenly became quiet. Everyone was afraid that something might happen to their child. Langya simply exempted everyone from paying their respects, and the empress dowager also made concessions to show her kindness.

The empress dowager, who was always cautious, did not get any of the power in the harem. She chose to chant Buddhist scriptures and cultivate herself, and did not meet people easily.

If Hongli had not sent all the good things to the Cining Palace, rumors would have spread in the previous dynasty that the Empress Dowager was being mistreated.

In this strange little world, Hongli's cheap father seems to be a big grudge.

His mourning period was entirely for the benefit of others. When necessary, he would use it to attack others. When not necessary, the court and harem were like blind.

Promotion, pregnancy, sending a concubine... as long as no one points it out, everyone pretends not to see it.

However, the court officials still had a bottom line and did not directly tell the emperor that it was time for him to hold a beauty contest.

It was just an implicit indication that there were not many concubines in the harem and the royal heir was the most important.

So... Lu Muping and Yihuan showed up in front of Hongli one after another, and Concubine Qing and Concubine Shu also appeared in the palace.

Langya asked Sulian to deliver the reward.

She had gotten used to it, and even if the little Mongolian princess and Han jumped out at this time, she wouldn't find it strange.

How could the world consciousness bear to see its heroine being suppressed all the time? The villains didn't attack Ruyi until Hai Lan stood up, and the heroine couldn't even find a reason to turn evil.

At this time, you must have a few "friends" appear.

The Queen Mother has also learned to be smart. The three chess pieces in her hands have nothing to do with her on the surface.
