Two months after Xiao Hanzheng and the others went back to the northern border, King Yi also went back with Kong Yuelan.

King Yi often went to the border to handle some matters, so he sent Kong Yuelan to the prefect’s office in the North City.

If he were to return to North City, he would also be staying in the Prefect’s Mansion. He did not avoid it at all. In any case, his family would have to live a neat life.

A few months later, Shi Qingluo’s belly was getting bigger and bigger. Because they were twins, she had been trying to control her weight and Xiao Hanzheng had been taking care of it for her.

On this day, Shi Qingluo was taking a walk with Xiao Baili’s help.

Suddenly, she felt a pain in her stomach, but it wasn’t very severe. She held Xiao Baili’s hand and said, “I should be giving birth soon.”

Xiao Baili was extremely nervous. “Ah, then I’ll send Sister-in-law to the delivery room.”

Fortunately, they didn’t walk far.

She immediately ordered people to call her mother and brother.

Although it was Shi Qingluo’s first time giving birth, she had seen her mother give birth before, so she was not very nervous.

Xiao Baili helped her back to the delivery room.

Xiao Hanzheng had found a midwife a month ago and let her stay at home.

At this moment, the midwife rushed over first and looked at Shi Qingluo. “Madam, there’s still some time before you give birth. Don’t shout later. Save your strength for when you give birth.”

“It’s best to eat something first. You’ll have more strength later.”

Shi Qingluo nodded. “Alright, cook me a bowl of noodles then.”

Mother Xiao immediately ran to the kitchen to cook noodles for her.

When Xiao Hanzheng came back, he saw his wife eating noodles.

He realized that his wife was really different. She could still be so calm before giving birth.

After Shi Qingluo finished her noodles, she asked Xiao Hanzheng to help her take a shower.

Her stomach wasn’t hurting that much yet, so she needed to take a shower. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to take a shower for a month.

Xiao Hanzheng did not know whether to laugh or cry, but he could tell that his wife was not in pain yet.

He helped her shower and dried her hair.

Shi Qingluo gradually began to feel waves of pain in her stomach. At first, she could still rest, but later on, the pain could not stop at all.

She used to hear that childbirth was very painful, but now she really experienced that kind of pain.

However, she was very obedient to the midwife. Even if it hurt, she endured it and did not cry out. She only grabbed the bedsheet tightly with both hands.

Xiao Hanzheng did not go out but stayed in the room. Seeing his wife in pain, he was heartbroken.

He pulled one of her hands over so that she would pinch him if she felt pain.

Shi Qingluo was naturally touched, but she could not bear to pinch her little husband. “I can still endure it. Don’t worry.”

Although it was indeed painful, it was still bearable.

It was also because she often exercised before she got pregnant and insisted on taking a walk every day after she got pregnant that Shi Qingluo gave birth very smoothly.

About four hours after the pain was severe, the first child came out.

The midwife picked up the baby and showed it to Xiao Hanzheng and Mother Xiao with a smile. “It’s a young master.”

Looking at the wrinkled and slightly red child, Xiao Hanzheng’s heart softened. “Good. ”

After patting his butt twice, the child started crying. His cries were loud and clear, and he sounded like a healthy kid.

Mother Xiao personally washed the child, then put on clothes and wrapped him up.

After about ten minutes, the second child was successfully born.

The midwife picked up the child and kept praising her. “Congratulations, sir. This time, it’s a daughter of a rich family. Madam has given birth to a pair dragon phoenix of twins. It’s a good sign!”

Xiao Hanzheng looked at his daughter and his heart softened again. “Okay, reward!”

After the child was washed, Xiao Hanzheng sat in front of the bed and held Shi

Qingluo’s hand. “We have a son and a daughter. Thank you for your hard work!”

Shi Qingluo had already seen her children and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. “It’s worth it to work so hard.”

She felt that she was really lucky to have both children.

Shi Qingluo was very tired after giving birth, so she fell asleep after washing up.

When she woke up at night, Xiao Hanzheng was working in the room.

Seeing that Shi Qingluo had woken up, he immediately walked over and asked with concern, ‘Wifey, you’re awake. Are you hungry?

If he didn’t say it, she wouldn’t have felt it. But once he mentioned it, Shi

Qingluo really felt a little hungry. “A little.”

“Mother has already prepared the food. I’ll get someone to send it over now.” Xiao Hanzheng ordered the servant girl to bring the food.

Hence, Shi Qingluo had her first meal cooked by her mother-in-law. It was not bad.

Then, Mother Xiao brought the two children in.

Shi Qingluo looked at the two little fellows, and her entire heart was about to melt. No matter how she looked at them, she liked them.

Although she had found a nanny in advance, Shi Qingluo still insisted on feeding the children herself.

After the first few days, she was still sleeping with Xiao Hanzheng and the children.

She wanted to raise the children herself and experience the joy of being a mother.

Xiao Hanzheng did not object. He was not used to it at first, but he gradually realized the joy of raising a child.

The commoners knew that Shi Qingluo had given birth to a pair of twins, and they praised her for her good fortune. She was indeed the disciple of the old immortal.

The two children did not look alike. They were fraternal twins. The son looked like Shi Qingluo while the daughter looked like Xiao Hanzheng.

After one month, the two children opened their eyes. They were extraordinarily good-looking. They were fair and tender, and they were very beautiful.

They had also inherited the intelligence of Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo.

King Yi, the Fifth Prince, Xi Rui, and Yue Lü were all envious of this scene.

As a grandfather, King Yi had to visit his grandson and granddaughter every day. He didn’t even like to go to the border.

It was also because he had not been to the border for two months that he preferred soft children and worked hard to make babies with Kong Yuelan.

When Shi Qingluo’s child was five months old, Kong Yuelan was also pregnant.

Kong Yuelan was a little embarrassed at first. She hit Liang Yulin a few times and said, “It’s all your fault. Our child is even younger than my grandchildren.”

Liang Yulin held her hand and couldn’t hide the smile on his face. “Our children will have nephews and nieces to protect them in the future. How nice would that be?”

He added, “They’re only one year apart. They’ll definitely be very close in the future.”

Kong Yuelan felt that it made sense and glared at him. “You’re the only one who knows how to talk.”

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor, who were far away in the capital, were very happy when they found out that Kong Yuelan was pregnant. They kept sending gifts to the North City, making all the madams and young ladies envious of Kong Yuelan.

There were also people who were jealous, but they did not dare to say it out loud.

The following year, Kong Yuelan gave birth to a son.

Another two years passed.

Shi Qingluo had always been working hard to raise the status of women in the Craftsman College, helping them establish the concept of self-reliance.

She asked Xi Rui to set up a scholarship and bursary to help poor students with good grades.

It was also because Shi Qingluo was in the Craftsman College that she was liked and respected by the female students.

There was also a batch of outstanding students who graduated. According to the previous recruitment, they were all arranged with jobs and their monthly salary was not low.

In particular, the wages for repairing bridges in various places were even higher. They could get several taels of silver a month, as well as subsidies for food and cloth.

In particular, the wages for repairing bridges in various places were even higher. They could get several taels of silver a month, as well as subsidies for food and cloth.

The women could work and earn money, which was no less than that of men. Their status in the family had increased a lot.

It also allowed the people of the northern border to see the benefits of the Craftsman College, so they rushed to send their children to the college to study.

Xiao Hanzheng was also working hard to develop the north borderline.

A trade square was established at the border, and it became more and more prosperous.

Many policies were formulated according to local conditions, and the planting of fruit trees, medicinal herbs, flowers, and breeding was popularized.

He had the distribution channels in the capital and Jiangnan, so the fruits, herbs, flowers, and all kinds of meat that he grew were shipped out for sale. He did not have to worry about selling them at all.

As a result, the lives of the people in the northern border became better and better. There were almost no cases of starvation.

Many places had even become rich because of farming and breeding. Every household did not lack food. Those who were willing could eat meat every day and often wear new clothes.

This was also a genuine political achievement.

When the children were three years old, an imperial edict came from the capital and Xiao Hanzheng was transferred back to the capital as the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue..
