After pushing hard a few times, the first twin was born.
By the next second, its bawling resounded over the Dark Moon Palace.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! It's a beautiful prince!"
The midwife was delighted, and handed the infant with a smile to a handmaiden standing beside them.
Argh—
Liu Rushuang's pained groan made the midwife realize with a start then.
How could she have forgotten? There was still another!
Wiping the sweat off her face and helping to dry Liu Rushuang with a towel at the same time, she then appropriately pressed her fingers over the empress belly, yelling, "Hold on, Your Majesty! The first twin is born! The second would be easier!"
And the second twin was born soon enough as she claimed, bawling with equal resonance.
The crowd outside the Dark Moon Palace all smiled delightedly.
