One day a few months later, a family of three was eating hot pot around the stove.
Ye Yutong looked at the yellow sesame paste in her son's bowl and felt something rising from her stomach. Before she could stand up, she vomited.
Li Yunze quickly dropped his chopsticks, "Tongtong, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Li Zongheng was almost frightened to tears, and he lost his usual composure.
He ran to Ye Yutong, touched her chest with his little hand, and asked nervously: "Mother, are you okay?"
Ye Yutong waved his hands towards them, "I'm fine, don't worry, I guess the second one is here."
My reaction this time was exactly the same as when I had my eldest son.
In addition, this month's menstrual period has been delayed for more than ten days, so she guessed that she was pregnant a few days ago.
Li Yunze breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then quickly helped her sit down on the chair next to her.
Li Zongheng hurriedly sent for the imperial doctor and called the maid in to help.
Seeing that their son's arrangements were in order, they were very happy.
Li Yunze put his hand on Ye Yutong's pulse, then smiled and said: "Tongtong, it's the happy pulse."
Li Zongheng is currently studying medical science. After hearing his father talk about his happy pulse, he asked in surprise: "Father, is the queen pregnant with a little brother?"
Li Yunze smiled and nodded, "I'm not sure yet whether he will be a little brother or a little sister, but you will be a big brother."
Li Zongheng's little face flushed with excitement, he spun around in circles a few times, then ran into the courtyard and started laughing.
Li Yunze and Ye Yutong were both stunned by his operation.
Why does it feel like this kid has been stimulated?
But looking at his happy look, he must be happy to have a younger brother or younger sister.
After the imperial doctor arrived, he checked Ye Yutong's pulse again and confirmed again that it was a happy pulse.
This time Li Yunze and Ye Yutong did not hide it. The next day everyone knew that the Queen was pregnant.
When she was four months old, the imperial doctor diagnosed Ye Yutong as having twins.
As her belly grew bigger, Li Yunze began to worry.
By eight months, apart from going to court, Li Yunze had left all other chores to Ye Mingxuan and Ye Mingzhe.
Li Chaoyang also returned to the capital some time ago to attend Ye Mingzhe's wedding.
When he was about to return to the south after the year, he was stopped by Li Wenxiu, who insisted that he find a wife before leaving.
Li Chaoyang thought that he was no longer young, and people similar to him had wives.
He couldn't let his brothers laugh at him for being a bachelor, so he agreed to get a wife before leaving.
Li Yunze walked around the garden with Ye Yutong after dinner.
Just as he was about to walk back, Ye Yutong suddenly felt pain in his stomach.
Li Yunze noticed something strange about her, hugged her and ran to the palace.
The imperial doctor said last month that Ye Yutong's twins would be born prematurely, so Linglan had already prepared the delivery room.
As soon as Li Yunze put her on the delivery bed, Lingmei and Lingju had already started preparations for delivering the baby.
The imperial doctor also hurried over. They were waiting outside to prevent any accidents during the delivery.
About a quarter of an hour later, Linglan came out with a smile and announced the good news, "Congratulations to the Emperor, your Majesty, your Majesty has given birth to a little prince."
"How is the queen?" Li Yunze asked quickly.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Your Majesty is fine and in good spirits."
After Linglan finished speaking, she hurried back to the delivery room.
Not long after she entered, the baby's cry came from inside again.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, your Majesty has given birth to another little prince."
Before Linglan finished speaking, Li Yunze quickly walked into the delivery room.
He ignored his two newborn sons and walked to the delivery bed to look at Ye Yutong who was sweating profusely, his eyes red with distress.
"Tongtong, thank you for your hard work."
Ye Yutong smiled and touched his face, "It's okay. You can go out first and let them clean up for me."
"I come."
Ye Yutong immediately grabbed him, "No, get out."
Let him help clean it up, it won't be so embarrassing.
He had to stay here with her during the birth, and Ye Yutong coaxed and threatened her before driving him out.
He won't be allowed to stay here now.
Seeing her persistence, Li Yunze reluctantly walked out, forgetting to even take a look at his newborn son.
Li Zongheng was looking in at the door. When he saw him coming out, he quickly asked: "Father, are you okay, mother and queen? Are your two brothers good?"
Hearing his son ask this, Li Yunze remembered that he had forgotten his two sons.
He smiled and touched his eldest son's head, "Your mother is fine, and your two brothers are also quite good."
Who would have thought that his casual remark was so sweet that his eldest son would complain about it for many years to come.
These twin boys have nothing to do with being good. Not only are they naughty and mischievous, they are also extremely destructive.
They both have endless energy every day, as if they never feel tired.
In the summer, he went to the lake to catch fish and shrimps, and in the winter, he went around wreaking havoc with a small wooden sword.
Ye Yutong was so angry that he wanted to beat them nine times a day.
On the second day of Li Zongheng's sixteenth birthday, Li Yunze announced his abdication and let the prince ascend the throne.
All the courtiers were dumbfounded. They never expected that the emperor in his prime would choose to abdicate so early.
They all knelt down to persuade him to stay, but Li Yunze still insisted on passing the throne to his eldest son.
Li Zongheng had no preparation and was forced to sit on the throne at the age of sixteen.
Li Yunze and Ye Yutong had been plotting during this period. They planned to secretly leave the palace after their son ascended the throne.
They were afraid that the twins would find out and follow them, so the two of them moved very secretly.
When he left, he left a letter to his eldest son, asking him to take care of his two younger brothers.
These unreliable parents sneaked away in the middle of the night.
But they underestimated their eldest son. The attentive Li Zongheng had long discovered that his father and mother wanted to run out to play, so he kept an eye on their movements during this period.
As soon as Li Yunze and Ye Yutong left the capital, Li Zongheng chased them with the twins.
The couple looked at their three sons blocking the road and knew their actions were exposed.
The couple looked at each other and sighed.
Li Zongheng was so angry that he laughed. How could there be such unreliable parents?
He left the throne and his two younger brothers to the sixteen-year-old and sneaked out to play. I don't know why they were so relieved?
"Father, mother, you can go out to play, but you must take these troublesome twins away."
When the twins heard from their eldest brother that their father and mother were going to leave them behind and go sightseeing on their own, they didn't believe it at first.
I don’t think the father and mother are so cruel. How could they be willing to abandon such a lovely son?
But now they believed it, and they hugged Li Yunze and Ye Yutong's legs while crying and scolding.
"Father and mother, you are so cruel! You actually left such a young son to go out and play by yourself. How can there be parents like you in this world? Don't you love us anymore? Wuwu...wuwuwu... …It really hurts my son’s heart…”
Ye Yutong looked at the sky with a headache, and Li Yunze glared at his eldest son. This boy was really becoming more and more thoughtful.
Li Zongheng touched his nose and cupped his hands towards the two of them, "Father and Queen, I will go back to the palace first. You and your brothers should have fun and come back early. My son will miss you."
After saying that, he rode away on horseback, as if someone was chasing him.
After entering the city, Li Zongheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, after sending away his two little ancestors, he could finally have a few days of peace and quiet, and no longer had to live a life of constant hesitation.
Li Yunze looked at the two annoying men with a headache and warned them seriously, "You can follow me if you want, but you must be obedient. If you dare to cause trouble on the road, watch your butts."
The two of them immediately turned from crying into laughing and said obediently: "Yes, Father."
"Get in the carriage."
"Okay." The two brothers ran into the carriage like rabbits.
Ye Yutong sighed, "Ping An, do you really want to take them with you?"
"There's nothing we can do if we don't take him with us. They all know about it, and now we can't get rid of him even if we want to."
Li Yunze leaned into her ear and whispered: "If they feel annoyed, just throw them into the space to work, and then let them come out to see the world in a more lively place."
"That's okay." Ye Yutong smiled and nodded.
After the couple discussed it, they prepared to continue on their way.
But as soon as he turned around, he saw the twins lying on the carriage looking at them. His eyes were still spinning, and he didn't know what bad idea he was planning.
The second eldest child, Li Zonghan, asked with a smile: "Father and Queen, what are you two talking about? You are smiling so happily."
Ye Yutong felt his head hurt when he saw his smile.
She let out a long sigh, knowing that the days to come would definitely not be peaceful.
