After having a long talk with their daughter and telling them everything, Duke Jing and Princess Consort Jing settled down leisurely in Floral Town.
During the day, he would tease his adorable grandson and granddaughter. At the same time, he would chat with his daughter. After the baby and his daughter both fell asleep, the two of them would go out together and wander around the town, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the simple folk.
In Floral Town in the early winter, if the weather was good, although it wasn't as pleasant as spring and early summer, it was still warm and cozy.
Along the clean and tranquil village road, the two of them wore warm fox fur coats and leisurely looked at the few farmhouses and courtyards they passed by.
Until they reached the Floral Ancestral Hall in the east of the town center. When Duke Jing had nothing to do, he would squat at the entrance of the ancestral hall and play a few rounds of chess with a few old players in the town. As for the Prince Jing Palace, he would go to the large pond not far to the east and chat with an old woman who was doing needlework under the sun.
Needless to say, these two Duke and Princess Consorts from the Imperial Capital Palace were very good at handling interpersonal relationships.
In just six days, they were already chatting with the older generation of Floral Town.
As for the old and young people in the town, after getting familiar with them, they knew that they were the Duke and Princess Consort from the Prince Jing Palace who were the talk of the town. The reverence they should have had was also worn away by their interactions these few days.
Gradually, they only interacted with them as ordinary parents and elders.
After Su Shuiche heard Mama Liang's report, she couldn't help but laugh.
Luckily, Duke Jing and Princess Consort Jing only brought along two personal maidservants and two bodyguards and manservants for this trip. Otherwise, there really wouldn't be any extra space to settle them down.
When Xiao Heng and the guards knew that the old Duke and Princess Consort were coming, they took the initiative to move out of the Bamboo Garden and moved in with the manservants, giving the Bamboo Garden to the old Duke and Princess Consort.
Therefore, Duke Jing and Princess Consort Jing settled down in the Bamboo Garden on the day that Shuiche fell asleep after giving birth.
As for the beloved grandson and granddaughter, because they still couldn't see the wind, they could only be served by two wet nurses and a servant girl to stay in the east wing.
After Su Shuiyao had a good night's sleep, Lin Siyao carried her to the east wing to stay with the babies.
First of all, the east wing was their bedroom, so it was convenient for them to take their things.
Secondly, during the autumn and winter seasons, the sun in the east wing was good. At noon, even if one was lying on the bed, they could still bask in the sun.
Therefore, Su Shuiche, together with her two adorable children, nestled in the east wing and began her confinement period.
The west wing, which was originally used as the delivery room, was cleaned and tidied up. It was filled with the things that the twins would need in the future. She planned to move them here to live with the two nannies once they were a month old.
Although they were his children, Lin Siyao would not allow them to occupy Shuiche's attention all day and night after their confinement. Humph, even if they were pampered, they could not snatch his woman.
… …
"Chun Lan, after changing the diapers, bring Long 'er over." Seeing that her milk was a little swollen, Su Shuiche got up and ordered Chun Lan, who was changing her younger sister's diapers.
She originally wanted to nurse the twins herself, but she was helpless. Her milk came out late, and it was not enough for the siblings to drink.
At most, it would be a few snacks for the two of them.
Therefore, two wet nurses were indispensable.
Fortunately, Mama Liang had agreed with them in advance that it would be a year.
By that time, Xiao 'er and Long' er should have stopped drinking milk and changed to staple food.
Chun Lan carried Lin Long, who was quiet and no longer crying after changing the diapers. Su Shuiche leaned on the pillow and held her with one hand to breastfeed.
She gently stroked her daughter's delicate and stubborn little face with one hand.
Inheritance was really magical. On the outside, Lin Long looked like her, and Lin Xiao looked like Ah Yao.
Their temperaments were the opposite.
Lin Xiao liked to be quiet and did not like to make a fuss.
For example, if his urine was wet, he would only make a few symbolic sounds.
However, it was different for Lin Long. As long as she felt uncomfortable, she would cry as much as she could and would only stop when she was cleaned.
Su Shuiche smiled as she fed her daughter, who was swallowing in big mouthfuls. When Lin Xiao was hungry, he would feel heartache. When Lin Long was hungry, other than feeling heartache, she would also be shocked by her crying until her ears went numb.
Therefore, as long as there was a sequence of feeding, Su Shuiche would usually choose to feed her daughter first. Who asked Lin Xiao to be the older brother.
And he was a quiet and well-behaved older brother.
Speaking of Lin Xiao, Lin Long's name was given by Lin Siyao to Prince Jing.
It seemed like he was respecting the elders, but in reality, Su Shuiche knew that Ah Yao was obviously too lazy to bother as he was busy taking care of her and preparing for the New Year.
His son lacked water in the five elements, so he named him Xiao. Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao. He hoped that when he grew up, he would be able to achieve great things and reach the clouds.
As for his daughter, according to Prince Jing's intention, he only hoped that she would be well-behaved and sensible. It was enough to have an exquisite heart, so he named her Lin Long.
But life was unpredictable. Names were easy to give, but personalities were hard to control.
Thinking of such a pair of precious children, their future development would be beyond everyone's expectations. This was a story for later.
… …
"How do you feel today?"
On this day, Su Shuiche just got up and walked a few steps to tease her children. When they gradually fell asleep in the cradle, she then laid back on the bed to rest.
Long Xiyue, who came every day, entered the room behind Bai He, who came to change the tea, and asked with a smile.
"Much better.
Walking a few steps every day is indeed comfortable. "Su Shuiche replied with a gentle smile.
At the same time, under the care of Chun Lan, she leaned against the head of the bed and stretched out her hand for Long Xiyue to take her pulse.
Her gratitude towards Long Xiyue was not only limited to the day she gave birth. For the next three days, according to the maids, she stayed in the kitchen every day to make medicinal food for Su Shuiche to recuperate her body. After three days, she was also the one who suggested that Su Shuiche get out of bed and walk a few steps every day to help her expel the dirty blood and filth in her body.
And after Ouyang Xun was summoned back to the imperial palace by an urgent letter, she also insisted on staying, saying that no matter what, she had to drink the babies' full moon banquet before going back.
Ouyang Xun also couldn't do anything about her, so he could only take the medicine boy and leave first.
He was an imperial physician conferred by the Emperor, but his disciple Long Xiyue wasn't, so she had absolute autonomy.
At first, she stayed with him in the imperial palace and helped the imperial concubines give birth to recuperate. It was also a decision she made when she had nowhere else to go.
Now, seeing that she was in such a rare mood to take the initiative to ask to stay, Ouyang Xun naturally wouldn't interfere.
Moreover, his disciple who was going to turn 18 after the New Year should find a good family to marry.
However, Long Xiyue didn't care about this at all.
"En.
Looking at your pulse, there is no major problem.
Remember to walk a few times a day and eat light and nutritious food. You will soon recover.
Your physical fitness is much better than I thought. "Long Xiyue finished taking Su Shuiche's pulse and helped her lie down on the bed.
She had always disapproved of this position of leaning against the head of the bed.
After a long time, it was easy to cause spinal and cervical diseases.
"I heard that you lost your memory?" Long Xiyue sat on the edge of the bed and casually gossiped.
"… En." Su Shuiche paused and then nodded in response.
All kinds of uneasiness surfaced in her heart.
Could it be that she found something wrong with her?
However, even her biological parents in name didn't find anything wrong with her, so how could Long Xiyue be suspicious?
"What was the situation at that time?
Don't be nervous, I'm just casually asking.
You know, as a doctor, there is always an inexplicable fanaticism towards difficult and complicated diseases. "Long Xiyue smiled and comforted Su Shuiche, who suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Although she said so, her guess was even more serious.
Could it really be as she guessed?
Using the excuse of losing her memory, she was actually from another time and space like herself?
The reason why Long Xiyue had such an outrageous guess was that she saw something that shouldn't belong to this time and space in Su Shuiche's study — the embroidery of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".
When she saw this embroidery for the first time, she was pleasantly surprised. It was rare to meet someone of the same kind.
That's right, she, Long Xiyue, came from another time and space. In the 21st century, she was one of the top obstetrics and gynecologists in Renhe Hospital. She had just been given the title of director of obstetrics and gynecology, but she died in a serial car accident.
When she woke up, she became a nine-year-old orphan of the Long family.
On the way to the capital, Ouyang Xun, a good friend of the Long family who went to pick her up, the nine-year-old Long Xiyue couldn't help but catch a cold. After being in a coma for a few days, she woke up as a modern thirty-one-year-old Long Xiyue with the soul of a modern thirty-one-year-old.
Being content with the status quo and optimistic was a good attitude that Long Xiyue had since she was young.
Therefore, in the nine years in this world, she wholeheartedly invested in Ouyang Xun's legacy and was determined to integrate modern medical skills into the current popular diagnosis and treatment in the Dahui Kingdom.
This trip was the first time she saw the ancient scene of birthing twins. She stayed in the palace with Ouyang Xun for nine years. Although there were countless births and treatments, she had never seen twins.
Perhaps it was because the production of twins in the Dahui Kingdom was quite rare.
Flipping through the Dahui Kingdom's history books, she found that there were almost no records of twins, let alone birthing twins.
Except for the Prince Jing Palace's Liang family, there would always be one or two pairs of twins in every generation or after the previous generation. It was the first time that fraternal birthing twins were born.
Su Shuiche saw that Long Xiyue was really just curious, so after thinking about it in her heart, she picked out the situation she knew and explained it.
Other than concealing the truth that she had taken over the body before she fell into a coma.
"I … really don't remember anything from before …" Su Shuiche emphasized in the end.
She was afraid that if Long Xiyue continued to ask, she wouldn't know how to respond.
To tell a lie, she had to use countless lies to cover it up. She had never done such a thing before, but now she had no choice but to do it.
Long Xiyue nodded as she listened. She was more and more convinced that the woman in front of her was like her, from another time and space. She didn't remember anything, but she still remembered the exquisite embroidery.
However, looking at the elegance and nobleness of her actions, Long Xiyue wasn't sure if she was from the 21st century like herself.
"When I was nine years old, I also lost my memory.
After I recovered, I forgot everything. It was like two completely different lives. "Long Xiyue looked up at the pot of blooming Dragon Claw Chrysanthemums on the flower rack and said faintly.
Su Shuiche heard and opened her mouth in surprise. She, what did she mean?
Could it be …
Long Xiyue gathered her drifting thoughts and looked back. She stared at Su Shuiche with a faint smile and asked a question that almost made Su Shuiche fall off the bed. "That Along The River During The Qingming Festival made me relive my dream of my previous life."
