Although Xia Yuan and his wife hoped for a granddaughter, they were just as delighted to have two grandsons!
As soon as he left Lin Yuan’s place, Xia Yuan didn’t even have ti to rest before he excitedly sent servants to spread the news everywhere.
In his own words, Xia Yuan already had one grandson, and now two more had arrived; he was just waiting for those old fellows in the Capital city to envy him!
"Quick, bring the little young masters to let my in-laws see!"
Princess Anle hurriedly instructed the maid to fetch the babies, and soon, two wet nurses ca in carrying two sky-blue swaddles.
As soon as Lady Liu ca in, she first checked on her daughter, and then seeing her two chubby little grandsons, she was so overjoyed she couldn’t stop smiling.
"Look, look, my two little grandsons are really handso!"
Just as Lady Liu finished speaking, Xiao Linshuang, who had co along to see her sister, said disdainfully, "What’s so handso about them? I think they look super ugly, all wrinkled and so dark!"
Poof!
Princess Anle was amused by her blunt words, and Lin Yuan was both annoyed and amused.
Xiao Linshuang wasn’t wrong; newborns are indeed quite unattractive, all wrinkled from being soaked in amniotic fluid.
And because they were twins, these two little ones weren’t very heavy, their little skin tightly clinging to their bodies, not at all like roly-poly cute babies.
Lady Liu pulled her little daughter over and scolded with a stern face, "What do you know! All newborns look like this; once they grow a bit larger and have more flesh, they’ll be much better looking!"
Xiao Linshuang pouted but after being reprimanded by Lady Liu, she eagerly went over to the two little ones and pulled out two golden bracelets from her small purse.
The bracelets had three little bells attached, which jingled when shaken, making them quite adorable.
"Even though you two are a bit ugly, your aunt won’t dislike you! Here, this is your eting gift from auntie. I bought it with my own pocket money, so be sure not to lose it!"
Saying that, she clumsily tried to put them on the babies’ wrists.
The little ones had thin arms and legs, so there was so worry they might be hurt. However, seeing that neither Princess Anle nor Lin Yuan said anything, the wet nurses kept quiet.
The truth was, their worries were unfounded. Although Xiao Linshuang was young, she was a dic and would never harm the babies.
"You little girl, you beat to it."
Lady Liu hadn’t given her gifts yet, but Xiao Linshuang had already made her move. She couldn’t help but chuckle and poked her daughter’s forehead.
With that, Lady Liu also presented her gift, a pair of excellent quality Jade Ruyi to rest the little buns’ pillows.
"This is a gift from your grandfather, and these Longevity Gold Locks are from your grandmother. Sweet children, grow up quickly, as your grandmother is waiting to play with you!"
After Lady Liu gave her gifts, Lin Wei also took out her presents: two small boxes each containing a handkerchief. The handkerchiefs were beautifully embroidered with golden-thread designs symbolizing auspicious clouds.
Even Xiao Yongyan prepared gifts for his little nephews, although his were not valuable due to his young age. He presented an ink painting he drew himself.
Despite his age, the painting was remarkably vivid.
The scene depicted a family of four playing freely in the woods. The attire and expressions of the characters clearly showed that the adults were Xia Zheng and Lin Yuan, while the two little ones chasing butterflies were the now swaddled babies.
"Did Yongyan draw this? It’s truly beautiful!"
Lin Yuan leaned over to look at the painting and couldn’t help but praise it. It wasn’t just her praising Yongyan out of bias; the painting was genuinely outstanding.
It seed that Yongyan learning painting from Lin Jiaxin had indeed been beneficial.
Even Princess Anle took the painting and studied it for a long ti, voicing her admiration.
After chatting for a while longer, Lin Yuan started to feel sleepy. Seeing her daughter like this, Lady Liu prepared to leave with the children.
However, before leaving, she repeatedly reminded Lin Yuan to take her postpartum recovery seriously and not to be careless.
