On the palace road outside Kunning Palace, two sedan chairs came slowly one after the other.

Qingyao: "Husband, remember to give Yuanyuan and Nuonuo nice names." She was holding a blue swaddling cloth in her arms.

Kangxi smiled softly and said softly, "My dear, why don't you prepare a few names for your husband so that you can choose the one you like best."

Qingyao: "Why don't you just choose it? Why do you let me choose?"

Kangxi: "I'm afraid you won't like the name I give you."

The Grand Empress Dowager stepped down from her sedan chair, turned her gaze towards the person beside her, and asked softly, "Are you here to visit the Queen and the twins?"

The Empress Dowager: "Your daughter-in-law pays her respects to the Empress Dowager." She saluted gracefully, showing the solemnity and dignity of court etiquette.

The Empress Dowager said slowly, "Stand up."

Chunyu knocked gently on the door, opened it, and walked in: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have arrived."

Qingyao whispered to Kangxi, "My dear, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have arrived. Please go and greet them."

Kangxi said, "Hurry up and go back to the couch to rest. Don't let the Queen Mother see you here, or she will scold me again."

Qingyao gently carried her son back to the phoenix bed and placed him on the outside. She then moved slightly to the inside and said softly, "Husband, please go and greet the Royal Madam and the others."

Kangxi went out holding the pink swaddling clothes and said, "My grandson pays his respects to the Empress Dowager, and my son pays his respects to the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager took the pink swaddling clothes from his arms with a distressed look on her face. She raised her hand to hit her grandson and scolded him, "Why did you bring the child out in such a cold autumn?"

Kangxi said: "My grandson came to see the Empress today. Just then, the wet nurse brought the two children over. When she heard that you were coming, she came out to greet you with the little princess in her arms."

The Empress Dowager glared at him fiercely and threatened, "If my beloved great-grandson catches a cold, I will not forgive you!" Then, she carefully walked into Kunning Palace holding the swaddling baby.

Kangxi supported the Empress Dowager and followed her into Kunning Palace. He jokingly asked, "Madam, have you forgotten your precious grandson now that you have a great-granddaughter?"

The Empress Dowager ignored him and went into the inner hall of Kunning Palace.

Qingyao: "The granddaughter-in-law pays her respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health." She wanted to stand up and salute.

The Grand Empress Dowager hurried forward, gently pressed her onto the couch, and said with concern: "Rest assured and take good care of yourself. Your health is the most important thing."

Qingyao replied respectfully, "Yes, my granddaughter-in-law follows the instructions of the Royal Madam."

The Empress Dowager sat on the couch, looking at the blue swaddling clothes beside her: "My dear, which of these two came out first?"

Qingyao: "To answer the Empress Dowager, it was the young prince Yuanyuan who came out first."

Kangxi helped the Empress Dowager into the inner hall and personally moved a chair to be placed next to the phoenix couch.

Qingyao: "Your daughter-in-law pays her respects to the Empress Dowager, may the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health."

The Empress Dowager kindly advised: "Rest in peace and rest well, take good care of your body, that's the most important thing."

Qingyao responded obediently: "Yes, daughter-in-law knows."

The Empress Dowager: "Did the young prince use his brother's childhood nickname?"

Qingyao replied, "You are right, Madam Huang. My grandson's wife once gave Yinreng a nickname, Yuanyuan. However, Chenghu felt that the name was not suitable, so he changed it to Baocheng. The Emperor also felt that the name Tuantuan was missing the character Yuanyuan, so he decided to call him Yuanyuan."

The Empress Dowager asked, "What was the nickname of that little princess?"

Qingyao: "My granddaughter-in-law gave me the nickname Nuonuo."

The Empress Dowager picked up Xiao Yuanyuan and said, "Mother, look, the three legitimate sons born to the Empress all have the same features as Xuanye."

The Grand Empress Dowager gazed at her lovely great-grandson with warm eyes and said, "Su Ma, quickly bring me the reward I gave to the Queen."
