Nangong Yi had already heard from the Old Turtle about the children's gender, so he wasn't as surprised as the Old Madame, Empress Dowager Mo, and Lady Du. He merely nodded lightly, his gaze still fixed nervously on the birthing chamber, his anxious appearance making it seem as though he couldn't wait to rush in and help her himself.
The Old Madame mumbled under her breath, "Our Great Jin Dynasty now has the auspicious Dragon and Phoenix! And it has appeared within the Royal Family—this must be announced across the world! It signifies that Our Emperor has not failed the world, that prosperity reigns, and the nation's destiny will endure. Only such fortune could descend upon the Royal Family!"
Empress Dowager Mo was equally overjoyed and said, "This is wonderful! Not everyone can give birth to Dragon and Phoenix twins. This must be a gift from the Gods to us. The Emperor should grant amnesty to the world and celebrate with all the people!"
