It's really too tiring, Qin Miao never thought that having a child would be such a physically demanding task. However, after resting for a whole night, her body finally felt a bit more comfortable and the fatigue had dissipated somewhat.

  What's most important is that the handsome young master from their own family came all the way from the front lines, disregarding his image, and accompanied her for a night.

  Of course, considering the smell on her body, she refused to let Xie Yun get into bed. But people can't be driven away, and they treasure themselves like their eyeballs. Had no choice but to reluctantly let him set up a warm bed by the bedside, his tall figure curled up into a ball, just guarding her for a night.

  At breakfast time, Qin Miao was enjoying the service of her husband while tilting her head and smiling foolishly at Xie Yan.

  "Stupid Ah Nuan, staring at me for what?" Xie Yan wiped his face with a bit of embarrassment. Nothing much, the beard has been trimmed too, and the person has been cleaned up. Very normal!

  He was originally born handsome, and he was the kind of person with red lips and white teeth. He had been in the military camp for a long time and had become somewhat tanned.

  Qin Miao gazed at him with a fond expression, her eyes narrowed in a smile: "He's gotten darker, but he looks even more handsome!"

  "You little scamp, you're still recovering from your illness and yet you know how to tease me." As she spoke, she picked up the spoon again to feed her.

  No matter how uncomfortable her body was, seeing her beautiful prince treating herself with such diligence and gentleness made Qin Miao's heart warm.

  "Where are the two kids? Bring them over for me to take a look."

  Since giving birth until now, Qin Miao has never seen her own two chubby babies. As soon as she's had enough sleep and eaten well, she starts thinking about them again.

  Before long, the two children were brought over from next door by their nanny.

  The little guy is still squeezed in his swaddle, revealing a pale and slightly translucent small face, quietly snuggled up and sleeping soundly.

  "How can these two kids sleep so much?"

  Qin Miao still wanted to play with the kids for a while, but as a result, the two little ones were too obedient and didn't open their eyes to look at their parents.

  She stretched out her hand with disgust, touched the baby's forehead. One of them seemed to have felt something, frowned and also pursed his mouth in disgust.

  "Hey, this bear kid is sleeping again and still knows how to dislike me. I've gone through so much trouble giving birth to him, but he doesn't even look at me."

  Xie Xuan shook her head and smiled, gazing lovingly at the two babies. Their noses and eyes, no matter how she looked at them, seemed to be exactly like hers.

  He couldn't help but feel a sense of pride, after all his own efforts had paid off and he now had two sons. The title of Weiyuan Marquis would finally be able to be passed down.

  "Don't disturb them, they're sleeping soundly!" Xie Yun caught the hand that was still messing with her son's face and prepared to have the nanny take the child away.

  Newborn babies just eat and sleep, he had all understood before. So he didn't plan to let Qin Miao mess around.

  Just as the wet nurse was about to take the child away, Zi Xuan came in from outside and reported with a bewildered expression: "Your Lordship, Your Lady, Princess Yi'an has come to see the young master. She is already waiting outside."

  Qin Miao, upon hearing that the princess had arrived, naturally did not dare to be slow and hastily ordered someone to invite her in. He himself also struggled to put on his clothes properly so as to pay his respects later.

  The result was that even before the lid was lifted, Xie Zhen pressed it down with one hand.

  "What are you doing? You're still in confinement! I'll explain things at the princess's place. Don't move!"

  The handsome young man looked at her with a strange accusation, and she had no choice but to lean against the big pillow honestly.

  Since the princess moved in, she had only met her a few times, but each time she would say strange and weird things to her in front of everyone. Although she didn't know what her intention was, she always felt that the princess didn't particularly like her.

  So for the sake of the Marquis's household and Xie Xu, she was even more cautious and careful, not daring to be presumptuous, fearing that a single misstep would truly provoke the wrath of this true dragon and heavenly maiden.

  And on this side, Yi An had already brought someone in. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a dignified and handsome figure standing beside the bed. This sight made Yi An's little heart skip a beat.

  After all, she's just a young lady, and after being nervous for the whole morning, she finally mustered up the courage to meet her crush. But now that her crush is standing in front of her, she suddenly feels a bit shy.

  Her cheeks, deliberately rouged, were faintly flushed, making her even more stunningly beautiful.

  However, this fell into Qin Miao's eyes, and she didn't think of anything else. She just felt very objectively that the princess seemed to be even more beautiful today than before. In her heart, she was secretly delighted, it seems that Xie Wei had been accompanying the princess with a good attitude these past few days, the princess's mood should be pretty good. The hospitality at their own home was also satisfactory.

  "Your humble servant greets Your Highness!"

  Xie Xuan wore a set of dark blue casual long gown, the close-fitting satin fabric made him look broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted. His black hair was simply tied up with a jade hairpin. This casual home attire added a few points to his lazy and elegant demeanor.

  Yi An was indeed a bit stunned, only feeling that she had taken the risk of angering her father to move into Xie Yun's house, and it was really worth it. Otherwise, how could she have met such a carefree Marquis Xie again?

  Xie Xuan still had her hands clasped together, and she didn't get up until Princess Yian called out to her. It wasn't until the palace maid beside Yian couldn't bear it anymore and poked her waist that Yian finally came back to reality from her daydream, weakly calling out "at ease".

  This will be a wonderful move, Qin Miao actually leaned in to take a closer look and saw that Yi An's gaze at Xie Yan was quite unusual. Dare not say such explicit words as "coquettish eyes with spring", but the affectionate meaning in her eyes could not be escaped.

  She felt a sudden jolt in her heart, puzzled by her own discovery. When she looked again carefully, the princess seemed to have regained her composure, replacing it with a normal smile full of joy.

  Qin Miao sighed and perhaps thought that she had misjudged herself. At this moment, there were no other thoughts in her mind.

  "Your Highness, please forgive me. My wife just gave birth yesterday and is now weak and ill, it's really not suitable for her to get out of bed. I hope Your Highness will take into consideration my humble position and be lenient!"

  Different from Qin Miao's subtle insight, Xie Lin was much more natural and busy making excuses for his wife.

  After listening to her husband's words, she sat down and bowed slightly to the princess with a sincere and fearful expression.

  "Thank you for your concern, Your Excellency. I have already been a bother to your household by staying here. Now that the mistress has just given birth to a son, it's only natural."

  She looked at the two wet nurses sitting beside her and leaned over affectionately to look at the child in the swaddle.

  "How lovely! She's a delicate and refined beauty, she'll definitely have a great future!"

  Isn't it, two sons, and they're twins, how strange. The words are as sweet as sugar and honey, but the resentment in her heart has almost suffocated her.

  But just as I came in, I caught sight of Qin Miao, who looked pale and weak after giving birth, and my mood inexplicably improved.

  It wasn't in vain that she spent the whole morning dressing herself up, elegant and refined with a hint of luxury, her makeup was just right, a delicate and tender complexion. No matter how you compared, she was several times more beautiful than this pale, listless woman with sunken eyes.

  In such an intuitive contrast, even if he had two sons, it would be the same. Sons are sons, and women are women. Men always favor those with fresh colors.

  Even if it's the father emperor who is famous for his loyalty, if the mother empress hasn't taken good care of her skin over the past decade or so and looks no different from a girl in her twenties, it would be difficult for the father emperor to remain loyal.

  She has such a realization, it is her mother's many years of ear and face, as well as the life in the palace for many years.

  Flowers don't bloom for a hundred days, even when they're in full bloom and look particularly vibrant, there will always come a time when they fall.

  Once fallen into the mire, no matter how hard you struggle, it's all in vain.

  The same principle applies to Qin Miao at this moment.

  Yi An covered up the discontent in her heart, and after boasting about the child, she naturally sat down on the edge of Qin Miao's bed. Holding hands like sisters, they chatted intimately about postpartum matters. She also kindly gave several secret recipes from the palace, which were effective for nourishing both body and beauty.

  This made Qin Miao and Xie Lin somewhat surprised and delighted, and Qin Miao repeatedly thanked her.

  Yi An thought that her first appearance in front of Xie Yun, must have left a very deep and good impression. Not only is she beautiful, but also has great inner qualities.

  She would occasionally glance at Xie Yun's expression with her small eyes. As expected, looking like this, she should be very satisfied.

  She then thoroughly enjoyed the good feeling before using not disturbing Qin Miao's rest as an excuse to take her people back to Yi An Ju.

  After she left, Xie Yun didn't feel anything. But Qin Miao felt more and more dizzy.

  This princess, why is she being so affectionate with herself?
