Chapter 500 Another Princess
"Strange, it's been so long since the birth, why is there no movement at all? What are these doctors and midwives doing?!"
Several hours have passed since Zhen Huan announced the launch of the attack.
The wails from Zhen Huan were much weaker than before, and she was obviously weak.
Yongzheng's expression immediately turned very ugly.
"Your Majesty, please do not be too anxious. Giving birth to children is a matter of life and death for a woman. Since Wanpin is so favored by you, she must be blessed by heaven and will surely give birth to an heir to the throne smoothly!"
Because the emperor's face was becoming more and more ugly, the empress dowager no longer cared about her usual dissatisfaction with Zhen Huan, and hurriedly spoke to comfort Yongzheng.
After all, now is the time when Zhen Huan is giving birth to children for the emperor, and it is also the most dangerous time for her.
Not to mention that Yongzheng usually dotes on Zhen Huan, at this juncture, Yongzheng's love for Zhen Huan is even stronger than ever, and if he goes against her at this time.
No matter who it is, he will inevitably be hated by the emperor.
Although the Queen Mother was the Emperor's biological mother, she did not dare to take the risk at this time.
Rather than arousing the emperor's dissatisfaction, it is better to cater to Yongzheng first and ease his tense mood.
"My Queen Mother, you are already so old, you should go back to the palace and have a good rest."
In response to the comfort from the Empress Dowager, Yongzheng did not react much. He just persuaded the Empress Dowager to return to Shoukang Palace as soon as possible.
Because Zhen Huan is likely to be facing a difficult labor, Yongzheng's emotions fluctuate.
At this time, the emperor really had no mood to deal with others.
Even if the other person is your own mother, this is no exception.
"Since the emperor has said so, I will not stay here to cause you trouble."
When the Queen Mother heard this, her expression turned cold.
However, since the emperor had already asked her to leave, the empress dowager naturally had no reason to stay.
But before leaving, the Queen Mother looked at Shen Meizhuang deeply.
When An Lingrong saw this scene, her heart skipped a beat.
The Empress Dowager has always taken a liking to Shen Meizhuang, and even praised her highly in front of the Emperor.
And now, it is clear that the Emperor and the Queen Mother have a disagreement because of Zhen Huan.
Although there seems to be no obvious conflict, the invisible smoke of war is accumulating in secret.
The Queen Mother looked at Shen Meizhuang at this time. Did she want Shen Meizhuang to express her own opinion?
But the problem is, one is the emperor and the other is the empress dowager, and Shen Meizhuang is caught in the middle. No matter which one she offends, there will be no good consequences for her.
If the Queen Mother really wanted to do this, it would be like putting Shen Meizhuang on the fire!
"Huipin, I know that you and Wanpin have always had a deep sisterly relationship. If that's the case, then you can stay here and accompany the emperor. I can feel more at ease!"
The Queen Mother stared at Shen Meizhuang closely, and she could also feel the nervousness deep in Shen Meizhuang's heart.
After some hesitation, she didn't say anything else.
As soon as she finished speaking, the empress dowager took Sun Zhuxi out first without waiting for Xuan Meizhuang, the emperor, and the many concubines to react.
……
As the Empress Dowager left, Yongzheng, who was already unhappy, no longer had any scruples, and his gloomy expression was revealed directly.
An Lingrong saw this scene from the side and felt deeply saddened.
Naturally, the emperor also had some genuine feelings for Zhen Huan.
However, everything needs to be compared. If it is used to compare with one's own throne and authority, then the result is beyond doubt and it is unnecessary to ask.
But if compared with the concubines in the harem, then Zhen Huan is now undoubtedly the most favored concubine in the harem.
Because of this, Zhen Huan was in a serious crisis at this time, and it is no wonder that the emperor had a worried look on his face.
As time passed, everyone's mood became heavier and heavier.
If you calculate carefully, more than half a day has passed since the news of Zhen Huan's movement came.
There is no doubt that Zhen Huan is most likely experiencing a difficult childbirth.
Since the day began, a tense atmosphere has spread in Suiyuxuan without any relaxation.
An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang waited together on the side, and no one dared to speak for fear of disturbing the emperor.
All the masters were like this, and the entire palace was immersed in a tense atmosphere.
I saw a group of palace maids and eunuchs busy shuttling back and forth, holding various things in their hands, while the imperial doctors were doing their best to rescue in the delivery room.
"How come there is still no result?"
Seeing that no news came out for a long time, Emperor Yongzheng paced anxiously outside the palace, looking into the delivery room from time to time, silently praying in his heart that Zhen Huan and his child would be safe.
He was no match for his royal father, and his offspring were few and far between.
As for Yongzheng, at present, Zhen Huan is naturally his most beloved concubine.
If Zhen Huan could safely give birth to a prince for me...
Yongzheng's thoughts were halfway through his mind, and then he shook his head, dispelling those messy thoughts.
……
I don’t know how much time had passed, but as the sky gradually brightened, a baby’s cry was suddenly heard in the delivery room, breaking the heavy atmosphere of the palace.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. Concubine Wan has finally given birth to a princess!"
As footsteps were heard, a midwife with sweat all over her forehead came out holding a baby in her arms, and congratulated Yongzheng, who finally smiled.
As midwives, they had been summoned to the palace long ago and were on standby at all times. They also knew that this time they would be serving a concubine who was very favored by the emperor.
Unexpectedly, this delivery would be so difficult. Fortunately, after so much work, things finally had a perfect ending. The midwife and the Taiyis were relieved.
"Good good!"
Upon learning that Zhen Huan was safe and sound, Yongzheng could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor took the swaddling clothes from the midwife.
Looking at the cute baby in his arms, Yongzheng's originally gloomy face broke into a relieved smile, and the stone that had been hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
"What a lovely little princess."
He gently stroked the baby's face, his eyes full of love.
Although he had thought a lot just now, the emperor was sincerely relieved after confirming that it was the princess.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Great joy to Your Majesty!"
Seeing the emperor holding the princess with a kind smile on his face, An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang looked at each other, and then hurriedly led the concubines forward to congratulate him.
Originally, it should have been Concubine Jing who spoke up about this matter, but before the good news came, she was sent back to Xianfu Palace by the emperor because she could not bear it any longer.
As a result, among the concubines present, the only ones with the highest status were Xuan Meizhuang and An Lingrong.
