Golden Branch

"Ajiu, this is Ada, this is Al, this is Ashan!"

The day after Wang Heng returned to Beijing, Wang Mian rushed to find her best friend.

She was not alone, she was accompanied by three children, a wet nurse, servants and a large group of people.

She introduced the dumplings, which had lost their redness and wrinkles and turned white and plump, to Wang Heng one by one, like presenting treasures.

Three black lines hung down Wang Heng’s forehead: …My brother always says that she can’t name people, and her best friend is the real bad at naming.

Auspicious triplets, any auspicious nickname would be enough.

You know, their births alarmed the saints and the queen.

In ancient times, people valued having many children and being blessed. Being able to have many children was a blessing.

Wang Mian's pregnancy with three babies is absolutely rare in the world, and there seems to be no other example in the past hundred years.

Last year, the capital was in constant turmoil, but on the last day of the year, such a happy event happened. It was definitely a good omen.

Although the Changle Marquisate was the royal family of the previous dynasty, it had some relatives with the Yang family in various ways.

Not to mention, Xiao Wuzhi is the prince's confidant and has been fighting for the court in the northwest.

To the saint and the prince, Xiao Wuji was a child they had watched grow up, no different from their own sons, nephews (or brothers).

The saint not only did not feel threatened by such a happy event in Xiao Wuzhi's family, but was happy for him instead.

Wang Mian is not an ordinary lady from a noble family.

She was someone who earned her own destiny with her own abilities.

Over the years, her superb business skills and endless creative ideas have provided the Supreme father and son with a steady supply of gold and silver.

The saint has the ambition to conquer the world, but wars are too expensive.

If one is not careful, he will end up in warmongering.

With Wang Mian, the problem of silver and money was greatly alleviated.

It’s a pity that she was born in a humble family and was a woman, which is why she has always been unknown.

If Wang Mian had changed her gender, she might have become one of the prince's confidants.

Even so, the saint and the prince did not forget Wang Mian's contribution.

She was conferred the title of a fourth-rank princess and her "jealous" behavior was tolerated as a reward by the supreme father and son.

But, it's not enough.

The turmoil in the palace has subsided. Queen Li has not recovered from her illness, but she is able to maintain the status quo.

The Eastern Palace also gradually settled down.

The saint doesn't have too many worries, so he can free up his hands. He is going to march east!

Once the troops are mobilized, sufficient food, fodder, and military pay must be prepared.

The importance of Wang Mian, the goddess of wealth, was doubly highlighted.

...With all these factors coming together, the saint decided to give the triplets a name with a stroke of his pen.

Wang Mian & Xiao Wuji who is far away in the northwest: ...the tragic loss of the naming rights for our beloved son and daughter!

Well, okay, after wailing silently, the couple had to admit that this was a great honor.

They can't take advantage of others and act ungratefully, otherwise they will easily become hated!

It’s a good name given by a saint!

It’s a pity that Wang Mian and Xiao Wuzhi only selected dozens of names after searching through the Book of Songs and the Book of Changes.

Since I can’t decide on a proper name, I can only use a nickname.

Xiao Wuji loved his wife so much that he gave the right to name her nickname to Wang Mian.

Wang Mian: ...Ahhh, I'm not good at it.

From pregnancy to delivery, and now that the children are more than four months old, Wang Mian came up with the three names Ada, Al, and Ashan.

Wang Heng: "A Mian, isn't that too perfunctory?"

"Also, it's easy to understand Ah Da and Ah Er, but why isn't this Ah Shan Ah San?"

After hearing what her best friend said, Wang Mian couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

I have to say that ranking three is really at a disadvantage.

Originally, Wang Mian wanted to give the three children the nicknames "Xiaoyi" and "Xiaoer", but "Xiaosan"... isn't that an insult?

And Ah San is even more insulting.

Her precious daughter is a noble lady from the Celestial Empire with a good family background. How could she become such a ridiculous existence?

"She's a little girl after all, so the character 'Shan' is better!"

Wang Mian said embarrassedly.

Wang Heng raised her eyebrows, Amian seemed to be hiding something.

But it’s not a big deal, it’s just a nickname, as long as Amian is happy.

Wang Heng didn't continue to dwell on the children's names. She reached out and teased the triplets one by one.

Wang Heng had to admit that Wang Mian was indeed the heroine.

Not only can they give birth, but they can also raise children.

When triplets were born, they were much thinner than healthy single babies.

Especially Xiao, oh no, it’s Ashan, this child is like a kitten.

Even without worrying about being unlucky, Wang Heng couldn't help but secretly worry: This child won't die young, right?

She is small in stature and cries softly, and anyone who sees her would break out in a cold sweat for her.

Wang Heng felt sorry for her best friend and naturally didn't want her to experience the pain of losing her daughter.

Moreover, triplets are a good omen, but if one dies young, it would be a disaster.

Wang Heng didn't want Wang Mian to be grieved and criticized or even slandered.

Fortunately, Amian had magical skills and was under the watchful eye of the imperial physician, so the triplets successfully left the confinement period and lived past the hundredth day.

Four and a half months have passed, and each one of them is white, tender and plump, and is even healthier than a normal single baby.

The three little ones have perfectly inherited the advantages of their parents.

Although they are not exactly the same, they all have their own beauty.

Touching the children's chubby arms like lotus roots and looking at their lovely smiles, Wang Heng couldn't help but feel a surge of maternal love.

Having a baby seems like a good idea!

Although it hurts and there is a threat of death, but... if she and her brother give birth to a child, whether it is a boy or a girl, his appearance will definitely be a combination of her and her brother's strengths.

Wang Heng couldn't help but imagine, if she really had a child, would he (she) be more like her brother or more like herself?

Unfortunately, she is not the heroine, and she will not have the same good luck as Amian.

Not to mention having three babies in one pregnancy, even if it is twins, it may not be possible to have one.

Perhaps, Zheng Shisan's situation is the norm. His first child was a daughter, and in order to have a boy, he tried hard to have a second and third child.

It is called: bloom first, then bear fruit!

"No! I don't want it!"

"Being able to have a child with my brother is already the limit. And that's because I love him and am willing to take risks for him!"

Wang Heng was freed from the seal and no longer suppressed herself, so she could consider things from the perspective of a wife.

Not having children is obviously not an option.

The Lou family has the title of founding county duke to inherit.

If you only give birth to one child and fail to give birth to a boy as you wish, then you can let a concubine... but that's not allowed!

Wang Heng looks soft and gentle, but she is actually domineering.

My brother is hers, and she will never allow anyone else to get involved.

“Tools” are not enough!

Wang Heng herself didn't realize that, deep down, she and Lou Yu were the same kind of people: domineering and possessive.

"Princess, the Princess of Nanbang requests an audience!"

Just as the two best friends were looking after their three children, teasing them and chatting, the voice of a servant came from the corridor.

Wang Heng raised her head and saw Wang Mian, who also raised his head.

The two looked at each other for a moment and nodded in unison.

"Invite her in!"

Wang Heng sat up straight, and Wang Mian asked the wet nurse to take the three little ones away.

A quarter of an hour later, there was a rustling sound under the corridor.

There is also a strange fragrance accompanying it.

Wang Heng couldn't help but wrinkled her nose: It stinks...
