Chapter 144 Noble Lady Fucha Raises the Banner 144
Fucha Peiyun quickly spoke up to advise:
"Your Majesty, there are too many people and too many eyes here today."
You rushed into the delivery room without thinking because you felt sorry for Consort Wan.
I'm afraid it will cause criticism from others.
This wouldn't be good for Consort Wan.
Upon hearing this, the chubby orange cat finally stopped, but its face still showed a worried expression.
Eyes fixed on the delivery room door
The chubby orange cat paced back and forth outside the delivery room.
The sounds of Zhen Huan's pain could be heard intermittently from the delivery room.
The voice was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the heart of the chubby orange.
This reminded Big Fat Orange of Chun Yuan, who died in childbirth.
And Huanbi
He was afraid that this time, Huanhuan would also...
Big Fat Orange frowned, his hands clenched into fists, his palms slightly sweaty, his heart filled with anxiety and worry.
Despite being the emperor, he was now witnessing his beloved woman enduring such immense pain.
But there was nothing they could do; they could only silently pray that everything would go well.
Inside the delivery room, Zhen Huan lay on the delivery bed, her face as pale as paper, her clothes already soaked with sweat.
She was so weak that she barely had the strength to speak.
But when he thought of his mother, Yu Rao, whose fate was unknown, and his unborn child,
She bit down on the cork in her mouth and endured the pain to continue.
Just then, Zhen Huan suddenly felt a powerful force in her abdomen.
The previously quiet fetus seemed to finally start moving.
Seeing this, the midwives hurriedly shouted in unison, "Push harder, Your Highness! Give it your all, the baby will be out soon!"
They gathered around the bed, busily making various preparations.
Hearing the midwives' shouts, the people waiting outside held their breath.
The entire scene fell silent instantly.
Everyone stared intently at the delivery room door, eagerly awaiting the moment a new life would be born.
Time ticked by, and the atmosphere in the delivery room grew increasingly tense and heavy.
Finally, a not-so-loud cry from a baby broke the silence, like the first ray of dawn before sunrise.
It brought hope and joy to everyone.
"It's born! It's born! Congratulations, Your Majesty, you have given birth to a lovely princess!"
The midwives shouted excitedly.
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, and a smile of satisfaction appeared on their faces.
At this moment, Zhen Huan was so exhausted that her eyes gradually closed, and her body involuntarily wanted to fall into a deep sleep.
Just as she was about to fall into a deep sleep, Jinxi, who was beside her, quickly whispered:
"Your Majesty, you cannot relax now; you are still pregnant!"
As she spoke, Jinxi quickly stuffed a slice of ginseng into Zhen Huan's mouth.
Zhen Huan subconsciously put a ginseng slice in her mouth, and the bitter taste immediately filled her mouth.
So that another child can be born safely.
So, she used the last of her strength to open her eyes with difficulty and gather the remaining power in her body.
The atmosphere in the delivery room tensed up again, and the midwives dared not relax their vigilance in the slightest.
They were busy preparing for the arrival of their second child.
Zhen Huan took a deep breath, then closed her eyes tightly, as a wave of excruciating pain washed over her.
She clenched her teeth into the cork and exerted all her strength to push again...
Hearing this from outside, the chubby orange cat was heartbroken and couldn't help but shout, "Huanhuan, you must be safe and sound!"
A moment later, accompanied by faint cries, the second child was born safely.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's a prince. Consort Wan is so blessed to have given birth to twins, a boy and a girl."
The midwife said with a beaming smile.
Zhen Huan was exhausted at this point.
But when she heard the midwife say that she had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl...
The corners of his mouth were still slightly upturned, revealing a hint of a relieved smile.
However, before she could enjoy this joy for long,
Then everything went black before my eyes, and I finally couldn't hold on any longer. I slowly closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
It seems like my strength is slowly slipping away.
Just as everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the arrival of the new life,
The midwife suddenly let out a terrified scream:
"Oh no! Consort Wan is bleeding heavily!"
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone, and the once joyous delivery room instantly became tense.
Jinxi, who was standing to the side, was the first to react. She hurriedly shouted to the midwives:
"Quickly! Lower the curtains immediately and get Physician Wen here to stop the bleeding!"
Wen Shichu came in carrying a medicine box and placed a silk handkerchief in Zhen Huan's hand, which was hanging from the bed curtains.
After taking his pulse, Wen Shichu's expression turned grave.
He instructed the midwife to press several acupoints on Zhen Huan's body, and then wrote down a prescription.
After Xiao Yunzi went to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine, and the midwife pressed acupoints, Zhen Huan's bleeding gradually stopped.
Xiao Yunzi knew some martial arts, and she ran quickly to the Imperial Hospital to fetch the medicine.
Wen Shichu quickly prepared the medicine.
He scooped it out and handed it to Jinxi, who was standing anxiously waiting to the side.
Jinxi dared not delay for a moment and quickly walked to Zhen Huan's bedside.
Gently help her up, and spoon the warm medicine into Zhen Huan's mouth.
Jinxi stayed by the bedside and saw that Zhen Huan's originally pale face gradually flushed.
His breathing gradually calmed down.
Seeing this, Jinxi's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally calmed down a little, and she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Wen Shichu stepped forward and took Zhen Huan's pulse again.
After a moment, he frowned slightly and slowly said:
"Although Your Majesty's bleeding has stopped, this delivery was extremely dangerous."
The empress not only gave birth to twins, but also suffered severe bleeding, leaving her in extremely poor health.
I'm afraid I'll never recover to my former health, and... I'm afraid I won't be able to conceive again.
Upon hearing this, Jinxi's expression changed, and she asked in a slightly trembling voice:
"Imperial Physician Wen, is there really no way to properly care for Her Majesty's health?"
Wen Shichu shook his head helplessly and sighed:
"It seems that for now, we can only take it slow and recuperate like this."
I will do my best to prescribe and prepare medicine for Her Majesty, but a full recovery is not possible.
Wen Shichu shook his head and sighed.
After Wen Shichu finished speaking, he left the delivery room.
The midwives quickly and efficiently cleaned Zhen Huan's body.
Then, together with the other palace maids, they carefully moved her to the bedroom.
After everything was settled, everyone was finally able to go and visit Zhen Huan.
The chubby orange cat hurriedly went to Zhen Huan's bedroom.
When he saw Zhen Huan lying on the bed, her face as pale as paper...
A pang of heartache shot through my heart, but at the same time, I couldn't hide my joy.
After all, these were the first pair of twins in the Qing Dynasty!
Huanhuan deserves credit for this childbirth; she is a great contributor.
Huanhuan gave birth to her first set of twins, a boy and a girl, which is an auspicious sign.
With these twins, those with ulterior motives can now slander him, saying he gained his position illegitimately.
With such merit, Huanhuan could easily become a Noble Consort.
However, the position of Imperial Concubine was already full, and the chubby orange cat thought for a moment.
He turned and called out, "Su Peisheng."
Su Peisheng quickly replied, "Yes, sir."
Big Fat Orange said loudly:
"By imperial decree, Consort Wan (Zhen Huan) of the Suiyu Pavilion in the Six Palaces has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and her contribution is indispensable. Therefore, she is hereby promoted to the rank of Consort Wan."
The investiture ceremony was held when the prince was one month old.
Furthermore, she was incorporated into the Manchu Banner with the Bordered Blue Banner and bestowed the surname Zhenjia.
Zhen Yuandao was reinstated to his original position immediately.
Su Peisheng quickly accepted the order and replied, "Yes, sir."
Those who were unaware of the inside story couldn't help but envy Zhen Huan's good fortune.
Not to mention that she fell out of favor several times but was able to regain it,
Regarding this childbirth alone, she not only gave birth to twins, thus gaining a promotion in rank, but was even elevated to a higher flag.
Such good fortune is truly astonishing.
Unaware of the truth, Feng Ruozhao, Cao Qinmo, and others all sighed at Zhen Huan's good fortune.
However, they wouldn't want to experience the same ups and downs in the palace as Zhen Huan.
Zhen Huan is now enjoying immense prestige,
But recalling all the ups and downs she had experienced since entering the palace, it made others tremble with fear.
In contrast, they would rather stay with their daughters and live a peaceful and stable life.
With Zhen Huan being so favored and having given birth to twins, will this threaten the positions of Consort Shu and her son Hongchang?
Several people's gazes unconsciously drifted to Fucha Peiyun, only to see a smile on her face.
Nian Shilan and Fucha Peiyun, who knew the inside story, were both laughing at the fat orange.
Being so happy about becoming a father is truly something else.
Nian Shilan smiled
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Consort Wan is truly blessed!"
Now that Consort Wan has been promoted to the rank of Consort, I think it would be good for her to help me with some palace affairs.
"Together with Consort Jing, Consort Jin, and Consort Xin, I will assist you in managing the affairs of the inner palace. What does Your Majesty think?"
As she spoke, Nian Shilan kept glancing at Fucha Peiyun's reaction out of the corner of her eye.
Seeing that she did not express any objection, he turned his gaze to the big, fat orange cat, waiting for his reply.
Fucha Peiyun naturally had no objection to Nian Shilan's proposal.
Within this harem, she had already secretly planted numerous trusted spies and informants, thus controlling the entire situation.
Even if Zhen Huan really did interfere in palace affairs, given her current power and methods,
It's unlikely to cause any major upheavals.
Fucha Peiyun said, "My sister, Consort Wan, is exceptionally talented and will surely be able to quickly adapt to her new role and share the burdens of the Imperial Noble Consort."
Feng Ruozhao, Cao Qinmo, Lü Yingfeng, and Jian Fucha Peiyun all agreed.
Feng Ruozhao, Cao Qinmo, and Lü Yingfeng quickly chimed in:
"Your Majesty, we are of dull wit and make slow progress in our studies."
Now that we have Consort Wan's help, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Big Fat Orange naturally understood that Feng Ruozhao and the others were just being modest.
But seeing how harmoniously the concubines in the harem got along...
He was naturally pleased, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
The chubby orange cat nodded slightly in agreement, then said slowly:
"Since all the beloved concubines have no objections, then after Consort Wan has finished her confinement period..."
Then we will work together to manage the affairs of these six palaces.
Fucha Peiyun and the others said together:
"I will obey His Majesty's decree."
Just then, Wen Shichu bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, I was busy treating Consort Wan earlier."
I haven't had a chance to check the pulses of the newborn princess and prince yet.
Upon hearing this, the chubby orange cat immediately agreed, "Then quickly take their pulses!"
Wen Shichu took the pulses of the infant princess and prince in turn, his expression solemn.
The two children were small and wrinkled.
The crying was very weak. Wen Shichu carefully took the pulses of both children and then said...
"Your Majesty, the little princess and the little prince were born prematurely, and Consort Wan's health was already compromised."
The little princess and prince have been born with congenital deficiencies and require careful care.
Upon hearing this, the chubby orange felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over its head.
The twins, a boy and a girl, whom they finally had, were born with congenital defects.
Judging from Wen Shichu's grave expression, it's clear these two children will be difficult to raise.
Maybe a minor illness or injury will...
However, if something happens to the twins, it will inevitably attract criticism.
I'm afraid some people will say that he got to the position illegitimately.
Moreover, these twins, a boy and a girl, were born to him by Huanhuan, so nothing can happen to them.
From now on, please take good care of these two children.
Fortunately, he has Hongchang, whom Ah-Jun gave birth to. It seems he will have to raise Hongchang from now on.
After pondering for a moment, the chubby orange said:
"Wen Shichu, I order you to do everything in your power to improve the health of the two young masters!"
You have access to all the rare and precious medicinal materials available from the Imperial Medical Academy.
If anything goes wrong, I will hold you responsible!
Wen Shichu believed that his master would surely protect him.
But he still feigned fear and trepidation, saying:
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Your Majesty, Consort Wan has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and is now extremely weak.
Your Majesty, I believe it would be best to allow Your Majesty to undergo a double postpartum confinement period to recuperate.
The big, fat orange cat's initial joy had completely faded.
It felt like being doused with a bucket of cold water, chilling me to the bone.
After a moment, he slowly spoke:
"Then let's do as you say and let Consort Wan rest and recuperate properly during her second month of pregnancy."
The investiture ceremony for Consort Wan will be held after she has finished her postpartum confinement.
Since Consort Wan is so weak now, her duties as an assistant in managing the six palaces can be discontinued.
Upon hearing this, Nian Shilan couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment on her face.
This errand boy has run away again:
"Since Consort Wan is unwell, then I will wait for her to recover before I come to help her."
At this moment, Fucha Peiyun said, "Your Majesty, Consort Wan has just gone through the pain of childbirth, and she must be very tired."
Let's not disturb your sister's rest now.
Feng Ruozhao and others echoed this sentiment.
Big Fat Orange nodded slightly in agreement:
"Very well, you must be tired after guarding for so long. Go back to your palaces and rest."
Fucha Peiyun and the others hurriedly bowed and took their leave.
After Fucha Peiyun and the others left Suiyu Pavilion,
The chubby orange cat remained alone by Zhen Huan's bedside, waiting for a long time without seeing her wake up.
Big Fat Orange couldn't help but turn its gaze to its swaddled daughter and son beside it.
The two little ones were thin, small, and wrinkled.
His breathing was extremely faint, as if it would be extinguished by a gust of wind.
They are much smaller than when Hongchang was born.
Neither her figure nor her complexion was as healthy as the princesses born to Consort Fang and Consort Hui.
With such a frail body, can she raise these two children?
Upon thinking of this, the fat orange's face instantly darkened.
He rose and pounded on the palace maids and servants inside the Broken Jade Pavilion.
Tell them to take good care of Zhen Huan and the newborn prince and princess.
There were also four wet nurses arranged by the Imperial Household Department.
He then hurriedly led Su Peisheng back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Upon returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the chubby orange immediately instructed Su Peisheng to fetch some high-quality tonics from the storeroom.
They were sent to Suiyuxuan to recuperate for Zhen Huan and her son.
After Nian Shilan, Fucha Peiyun, and others returned to the palace, they all sent people to deliver various precious tonics to Suiyuxuan.
Only after Wen Shichu inspected the item was Cui Jinxi allowed to put it into storage.
