"Is this my little brother and sister?"
In the Nuan Pavilion, Daozi looked at the two swaddled babies on the bed with some disdain: "My little brother and sister are so ugly!"
Xiao Moreng, standing aside, laughed and said, "Newborn babies are all like this. Give it some time, and they will grow up to be fair and delicate."
Daozi looked at Xiao Moreng: "Fourth Brother, how do you know that?"
Xiao Moreng: "Because my little brother was also very ugly when he was born, and later on, he became handsome."
Daozi nodded reluctantly, somewhat accepting his freshly minted little brother and sister.
At this moment, Guo Ruomei came out from the inner room, smiling at Daozi: "Your mother has awakened, and she wants to see your two little siblings."
As she spoke, she herself picked up one of the swaddles, while the other was held by Guyu.
"Come on, let’s go inside and see your mother."
Daozi rushed into the inner room first. At this moment, Daohua couldn’t sit up yet and was leaning against the pillows, smiling as she watched Daozi run in.
"Have you seen your little brother and sister?"
Daozi nodded and pouted: "The little brother and sister are all wrinkly and not as good-looking as me."
Daohua couldn’t help laughing: "You were also wrinkled when you were born."
At that moment, Guo Ruomei came over with the children, and Daohua’s gaze immediately shifted over.
Guo Ruomei and Guyu placed the two children beside Daohua.
Seeing the newly born children, Daohua immediately showed an affectionate look. After watching for a while, she looked up at Daozi: "From today on, you are a big brother. You will have companions to play with in the future, are you happy?"
Daozi nodded half-heartedly: "I guess so."
Daohua noticed Daozi’s lack of enthusiasm and was somewhat surprised, smiling: "Daozi, as the big brother, won’t you give your little brother and sister their nicknames? Does that sound good?"
Hearing these words, Daozi brightened up and eagerly nodded: "Yes, yes, of course!"
Xiao Yeyang entered the room and asked with a smile, "What are you all talking about that’s making you so happy?" After speaking, he approached the bed and carefully looked at his son and daughter in the swaddles.
Guo Ruomei smiled and said: "We’re letting Daozi name his little brother and sister."
Xiao Yeyang looked at his eldest son and smiled: "Oh, Daozi, what names do you have in mind for your little brother and sister?"
Daozi, with his head tilted in thought, after a while, loudly exclaimed: "Mom is called Daohua, I’m called Daozi, so let’s call the sister who cries louder Daomang, and the brother who doesn’t cry much Daomiao."
Having said that, he looked expectantly at Daohua and the rest.
Daomang, Daomiao...
Xiao Yeyang and Guo Ruomei both found it somewhat hard to comment, but Daohua gave Daozi a thumbs up: "The nicknames Daozi has chosen are very good."
With his mother’s approval, Daozi’s eyes crinkled with a smile. He leaned over the swaddles and touched the pink one, saying: "Xiao’er, from now on you’re called Daomang."
Then, he touched the blue swaddle: "Xiaosan, you’ll be called Daomiao."
"I’m your big brother, my name is Daozi."
Having named them himself, Daozi felt a newfound closeness to his little brother and sister.
Watching Daozi’s obvious delight and the pleased Daohua, Xiao Yeyang and Guo Ruomei did not dare to oppose. Thus, the casually assigned nicknames for the boy and girl twins were settled.
The girl twins were born first, followed by the boy.
As soon as the two children were born, they presented a stark contrast; the sister cried loudly, while the brother’s cry was much quieter.
Seeing how softly her little son cried, Daohua initially thought something might be wrong with him, and hurriedly called for four nannies to check.
After the four nannies reassured that there was no issue, still unconvinced, they asked Gu Jian to take his pulse.
Guo Ruomei gave him a sideways glance, "It’s the couple’s own sweet little pleasure, why are you being sour?"
...
Once Gu Jian knew Daohua and Xiao Yeyang wanted him to choose a formal name for Daomiao, he didn’t hesitate, wrote down the name he had in mind on a piece of paper, and sent a letter to the Emperor, declaring his intention to foster Daomiao as his own.
Beijing.
Because of the rumors spread by the An Family, Prince Ping had been displeased for quite some time, until news of Daohua giving birth to twins made him feel somewhat better.
Just as he was happily preparing gifts for meeting his grandson and granddaughter, the Emperor sent for him to come to the Imperial Palace.
"Why is the Emperor summoning me to the palace at this time?" wondered Prince Ping, full of curiosity.
Prince Ping went with a puzzled heart to meet the Emperor.
Imperial Palace.
The Emperor, looking at Gu Jian’s personal letter, expected the request to foster Xiao Yeyang’s son and wasn’t surprised.
The Emperor understood his uncle’s character: he preferred completeness and would rather leave the Gu Family without a successor than foster someone at random. Since Xiao Yeyang was the only grandson who had cared for his mother and Yeyang’s wife was also his uncle’s disciple, he accepted their child being fostered into the Gu Family.
Thus, the moment Prince Ping entered the hall, the Emperor informed him that his newborn grandson would be fostered by his uncle.
Initially, Prince Ping was quite unhappy, until the Emperor stated, "If you agree, I will instantly decree to confer the title of Princely Heir to Yeyang’s youngest son."
Upon hearing this, Prince Ping urgently nodded his head, "Your brother consents."
He was not foolish; the Prince Residence had only one title, which belonged to the eldest grandson. Now that the younger grandson was inheriting the Duke’s title, it was naturally the best outcome for both brothers to have their own titles.
However, Prince Ping felt some regret in his heart; his little grandson had not yet called him grandfather, and now he would belong to another family.
