In the three hundred and seventy-sixth year of the heavenly calendar, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival on the fifteenth day of August, at the feet of the Son of Heaven of Gaoxi Kingdom.

In the secret room of the Ran family's mansion, General Sima Ran asked a pair of pink-carved twin baby girls who had just completed the moon were sleeping peacefully on the bed, but they didn't know that the treacherous hand of fate had quietly pressed on top of their heads.

Next to the bed, there sat a beautiful woman with a frown, her fair and delicate right hand clutching a small red porcelain vase.

Her eyes were like autumn water, and her eyes were like irrepressible waves, and her anxious gaze was tormented between the two swaddling clothes next to each other.

"Ruoxian, I'll come." The tall man, who had been pacing in the chamber, strode up to the young woman and snatched the red porcelain vase from her hand.

The young woman named Ruoxian grabbed his hand violently and wept before she could say a word: "Qianshan, what difference does it make if you come or I come? If this plan is implemented, the days to come will be to hold the fire and swim in the kettle. It's better for us to confess to Your Majesty that we didn't give birth to a son at all. For the sake of the eldest princess and your husband and wife, he won't do anything to you. ”

Ran Wen's face suddenly showed a murderous aura, and he asked heavily: "What about you?" This is the sin of deceit. Even if I am spared death, I will find an excuse to ask you about your capital crime. If I can't keep you, what's the point of my life? ”

"However, if you take this medicine, your daughter's life will be ruined."

"No more nonsense. Whoever eats it will be our son, and it will be my eldest son. This is a responsibility that she was born to shoulder. It's only to blame that she was born in the Ran family and gave birth to the wrong gender. ”

Yu Ruoxian pressed her husband's hand tightly, and there was helplessness in her eyes: "Qianshan, for the sake of the child, I am willing to call the eldest princess small." Don't want the position of a flat wife. The position of the housewife can also be given to her. We can't be selfish and drag our children into misery. ”

A trace of hesitation flashed in Ran Wen's eyes, but it was only for a moment.

In the next moment, that cold and firm determination once again prevailed.

"This is my bet with Your Majesty, and it has nothing to do with you. Do you think that if you give her this position, the two children and you will be able to live a safe life? She will not tolerate you in her nature. Stop being stupid. ”

Ran Wen no longer listened to his wife's dissuasion, broke free of her hand, and looked at the faces of the two children again.

He stretched out his hand to hug one of the baby girls, but Yu Ruoxian helplessly raised her hand and pointed at the other child, then turned her head away.

The baby girl seemed to be dreaming, the corners of her mouth turned up, and a small pear vortex rose on her cheeks.

"People who love to laugh are open-minded. Pick her. I hope that no matter how hard the days will be in the future, she will be able to face it with a smile. ”

After hearing this, Ran Wen glanced at the child, did not hesitate any longer, uncorked the bottle, and directly forcibly poured the potion in the porcelain bottle into the mouth of the smiling baby girl.

The baby girl, who was sleeping sweetly, noticed the bitterness in her mouth, and cried in a half-dream.

Because his hands and feet were restrained by swaddling clothes, he couldn't move left and right, only holding a handsome little face red, and a pair of big smart eyes like water stared at the man in front of him wetly.

Ruoxian, who is a mother, heard the crying, and she also shed tears, pushed away the man and held the baby girl in her arms, and gently coaxed: "Shaotang doesn't cry, be good, Grandma is here." Mother is here. ”

Two children, the elder is Tang, and the second is a dress.

Ran Shaotang's fate was cast in this way.

It is said that twins have the same mind, and if one is sick, the other will feel the same way.

Another baby girl, who was sleeping well, seemed to feel the pain of her compatriots, and the breast milk she had eaten earlier overflowed from her mouth.

Ran Wen dropped the porcelain vase in his hand and picked up his little daughter, put the child's head on his shoulder, gently patted her back with one hand, and coaxed her gently in his mouth: "Shao Shang is good." Daddy is here. Unafraid. ”

Yu Ruoxian saw that her husband's eyes were clearly filled with a mist that was different from usual.

After drinking the medicine, a small piece of red birthmark was born on Shaotang's white and flawless left cheek, just like a tear that was about to droop.

The crying subsided, and the chamber fell silent again.

Ran Wen looked at the "son" in his wife's arms, and calmly persuaded: "When this child reaches the age of ten, he will be sent to the border and entrusted to the Jingshan Sanren for discipline, and he will never return to Gaoxi in the future." No one will find out about her origins. In the past ten years when she has been around, we have taught her all our skills, which can be regarded as making up for the debt to her. ”

Yu Ruoxian's heart was full of guilt for the child, but she cried silently, without agreeing or refusing. The so-called never return to Gaoxi, that is, the mother-daughter relationship is exhausted, and the flesh and blood are separated.

She was not reconciled.

Ran Wen looked at the two children who were already asleep, sighed, and opened the door of the secret room.

"Let's go, I guess the guests have arrived. Everyone is here to congratulate our family on having a dragon and phoenix fetus, and we can't slack off. You go get dressed up and take the kids to the main hall. ”

The moment the door of the secret room opened, Yu Ruoxian had already removed the sad look on her face and replaced it with the solemn majesty of being the housewife.

Seeing his beloved wife leave with his henchman and maidservant holding their two children, Ran Wen raised his head heavily, wanting to take a look at the mid-Autumn moon in the sky that was destined to be unforgettable.

Unfortunately, the dark clouds overheaded, and the full moon was nowhere to be found.

He sighed and walked to the noisy place in the front yard, and the guests with different intentions saw the host coming, and came forward to congratulate him, and the scene was lively for a while.

Just when the guests and hosts were happy, the little yellow door of the princess's mansion came to report that the eldest princess gave birth to a baby boy at the beginning of the unitary period, and someone had already reported the good news to the palace.

Ran Wen was stunned. The word "baby boy" is buzzing in my head. It's dangerous. If it weren't for this trick, this bet would have almost cost the emperor a win.

I only heard that there were people in my ears congratulating Zhang's joy.

"Congratulations to the master of the horse for getting a daughter and two sons in January, it's really a joy and a double happiness."

"The horse master is spreading branches and leaves, and the people are vigorous, which is really my great luck. The two little sons will be able to protect the territory for me like the horse master when they grow up. ”

Hearing the word "horse", Ran Wen wanted to raise his foot and kick people in disgust. Unfortunately, he could only think about it.

At this time, in the bedroom of the main mother of the inner courtyard, the drugged baby girl suddenly opened her eyes in her sleep, silently, without crying or making trouble, quietly looking at the world like purgatory.
