No one noticed Qin Ze falling into the room, because everyone's attention was focused on Qin Changge.

A midwife held a crying baby in her arms; it was the little prince who had been born just moments before, while his mother, Qin Changge, was still in labor.

Just as the imperial physicians had said after their consultation, the Imperial Concubine's belly was significantly larger than the Empress's. Based on their past experience, including that of the midwives who delivered the babies, the imperial physicians unanimously concluded before Qin Changge gave birth that the Imperial Concubine was carrying more than one fetus.

It was precisely for this reason that the usually robust Imperial Concubine's childbirth became exceptionally difficult. Fortunately, it was her physique, which was far stronger than that of ordinary women, that allowed her to give birth to her first child without any major complications just moments before.

The newborn prince cried loudly, his powerful cries resonating in everyone's hearts. The experienced midwife immediately recognized the baby's voice upon hearing it, and upon holding him in her arms and feeling his weight of about six or seven pounds, she was overjoyed, knowing that this child would surely have a strong body in the future.

Admittedly, this was a joyous occasion, but before the second child was even born, the Empress was already showing signs of exhaustion. This caused the midwives, Qing'er, and Lin Wan to feel both happy and worried, fearing that something might go wrong at the last moment.

Until a few seconds ago, the Empress shouted in extreme anger.

Amidst everyone's anxious gaze, the second baby was born with a "whoosh".

"Hoo—" A long, drawn-out breath escaped Qin Changge's lips as she leaned back, rolled her eyes, and fell onto the pillow.

The next moment, the midwives' unanimous congratulations rang out in front of the bed;

Congratulations, Your Majesty!

"It's a little princess!"

Unlike the midwives who offered their congratulations at the bedside, Lin Wan and Qing'er immediately pushed them aside and rushed to the bedside. One grabbed her hand, and the other touched her forehead, anxiously calling out softly:

"Girl, how are you?"

"Waaaaah, Your Majesty, you can't fall asleep! You have to..." Qing'er cried, her face streaked with tears. Lin Wan's expression immediately changed upon hearing the pitiful cries. She turned her head and scolded in a low voice, "What are you howling about!"

Qing'er was startled, and only then did she belatedly realize that she had done something stupid. She quickly pouted and looked at Qin Changge, who had closed his eyes, with teary eyes.

Lin Wan pinched Qin Changge's philtrum, her eyes filled with tears, and kept calling out, "Wake up, little girl, the baby is born."

Just then, a hand suddenly reached out from behind. It was Qin Ze, who was so overjoyed and overwhelmed with grief that he crawled over. Like Qing'er, he was also in tears, panicked and out of his mind.

The midwives standing nearby also stopped smiling at this moment, and their faces even turned pale instantly, their eyes filled with fear.

One reason is the fact that the Imperial Concubine's fate is currently unknown.

The second point is that the little princess did not cry after she was born.

They were so overwhelmed with joy that they hadn't realized it until now, belatedly, that the child hadn't cried.

"Girl! Wake up!" Lin Wan, whose mind was entirely focused on her daughter-in-law, hadn't noticed her son arrive at the bedside. Similarly, she hadn't noticed that her granddaughter hadn't cried out yet. Seeing that Qin Changge's eyes were still closed, she couldn't care less and immediately shouted urgently:

"Quickly! Summon the imperial physician..."

But he only shouted halfway through when, "Hiss!"

Qin Changge suddenly opened his eyes, took a deep breath with his mouth wide open, and even sat up from the pillow. This made Lin Wan overjoyed, and the tears that were welling up in her eyes immediately flowed out.

Qin Ze, still kneeling before the bed, quickly leaned forward, wiping away tears, and said urgently, "Changge, you...."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Changge, having regained her senses, slapped him on the head, forcing Qin Ze's head down. Her gaze swept over Qin Ze's head as she called out to the midwives holding the babies:

"Quick, quick, bring the child over here."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Immediately, two midwives brought the children over one after the other. The midwife carrying the prince handed him over directly, while the midwife carrying the little princess trembled as she said, "Your Majesty, the little princess..."

Qin Changge held the baby boy in one arm, but unexpectedly slapped the baby girl's bottom with the other hand.

"Waaaaaah!"

To everyone's astonishment, the baby girl, who had not opened her mouth before, burst into loud cries.

The sudden cry sent a jolt through the midwife's already chaotic mind, and she swayed as if about to fall. Fortunately, the baby had already been placed in Qin Changge's arms, and she herself was supported by her companion.

Only then did the midwife finally relax. She wiped her reddened eyes and looked at the crying baby girl with a look of relief, as if she were looking at her own granddaughter.

As the two babies cried in turn, everyone present finally stopped crying and started laughing.

Qin Changge was slightly out of breath, her pale face quickly returning to normal, and she looked much more energetic. Looking at the child in her arms, she laughed and scolded him, panting:

"You two little bastards, you've caused your mother so much suffering."

Despite her scolding, she leaned in and gently kissed each of the two children on the cheek, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"Girl, you've worked so hard." Lin Wan said gently, holding Qin Changge's hand, while holding back her tears.

Qin Changge's face flushed inexplicably, and she replied softly, "Mother, I... I spoke without thinking, I..."

Lin Wan shook her head, reached out to smooth the damp hair that had fallen across her forehead, and smiled, saying, "Mother and child are safe and sound. At least I can finally rest easy..."

She didn't say anything more, but her attitude was enough to bring tears to Qin Changge's eyes. She choked out, "Mother, thank you for staying with me."

Lin Wan did not respond, but simply nodded slightly. The subtle barrier between them finally crumbled completely in front of these two new lives.

Then, Lin Wan slowly stood up, her expression becoming solemn, as if she had once again become the dignified Empress Dowager.

She composed herself, straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, glanced at her son, and then looked at the midwife and Qing'er, saying in a firm voice:

"Go and deliver the good news."

"Tell them that today, by the grace of Heaven, the Empress and the Imperial Concubine have given birth to imperial heirs on the same day: two princes and a princess. This is a blessed event, and we rejoice together."

“In the future, our Yan Kingdom will surely be prosperous and its people will be wealthy, and its national fortune will be great.”

"Let this good news be announced to the world, and let the whole country celebrate!"

The midwives and Qing'er agreed, and after leaving two of them to take care of her, the rest of the group followed Lin Wan out of the palace.
