Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress

Afterwards, Liu Rushuang had simple meal before lying back in bed to sleep.

Meanwhile, Han Moze led the dozen or so people waiting outside the palace to visit the children.

“So that’s what babies look like.” Little White Flower murmured in surprised, her eyes wide as she sat beside the children’s cradle and studied them seriously.

“Look, third elder! The young princess really resembles the clan master!” The senior elder of the Blood Feast, who often had a smile on his face, was grinning at the unworldly third elder.

“In deed she does—that shape of her face and her facial features does hold a striking resemblance to the clan master.” The third elder smiled faintly and nodded in agreement.

“So this is what the children of the clan master and his majesty looks like... they are even better looking than I imagined.” Mo Ye, the third clan master beamed.

“Indeed.” Lin Ye, the senior clan master echoed.

Meanwhile, Han Moze was sitting a nearby chair and leisurely sipping tea while listening to the crowd’s praises—his mood was certainly elated.

After satisfying themselves with ogling the children, the crowd soon dispersed.

Han Moze walked up to the children’s cradle, reached out to tidy their clothes, with affection showing in his eyes just then.

He wrapped his arms tightly around Liu Rushuang to sleep with a look of utter contentment.

In the middle of the night, Liu Rushuang thought she heard her children bawl, but it quickly stopped.

Be that as it may, she woke two hours earlier than usual.

Han Moze woke up as well. Rubbing between his brows, he then carried her to the hot spring.

He helped her with everything: bathing, clothing and even her makeup. 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

After that, they hurried to check on the children.

“Your majesty, Your Majesty.” The four handmaidens in the children’s chamber promptly bowed.

“You may leave.” Liu Rushuang said mildly.

After the handmaidens were gone, she quickly crouched before the cradle, watching her children lovingly and poking at their little eyes.

Seeing that they were smacking their lips, Liu Rushuang nursed them again.

Being the gluttons they were, they soon suckled her dried once more.

But there was no helping it—the children must be fed if they are hungry, and nobody is supposed to give them grief.

Han Moze stood silently at a corner, streams of warmth flowing in his heart.

He reached out to feel the babies’ pulse, noticing then that one possessed ice-element inner breath while the other possessed fire-element inner breath. Regardless both of them were healthy and did not have any health issues.

Celestials possess indomitable vigor in the first place and grew rapidly, which was why the children would need incredible amounts of energy. They had dozens of wet nurses serving them aside from drinking Liu Rushuang dry every day, and the handmaidens worked in shifts so that four of them were assigned to each twin at any given time—theirs were truly a life of luxury.

After Liu Rushuang nursed them, she turned to leave, noticing that the children were sleeping and not about to wake up anytime soon.

She headed to the front palace to eat. After that, she returned to keep an eye on the little ones while Han Moze went to court.

Little White Flower rushed in excitedly just then. When she saw that the children were still sleeping like they did last night, she could not help ask, “Your Majesty, when would they open their eyes?”

Seated between the twins’ cradles, Liu Rushuang kept her eyes on her book while answering calmly, “Calm down. They would open their eyes in two days.” fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮

“Okay.” Little White Flower nodded, reaching out to poke the babies’ pudgy cheeks happily—it felt so soft!

Neither twin appeared to like throwing tantrums, allowing Little White Flower to poke them as much as she wanted.

Wet nurses came in from time to time to nurse the twins, just as handmaidens would run inside to change their diapers when they heard the children’s cries.

Little White Flower eventually got bored after getting no reaction, and left.

Putting down her book, she read out the story of the book she had been reading...

“A long time ago, there was a huge family with three sons... who fell in love with their mother at the same time, desiring her hand in marriage...”
