Chapter 137 Mother and Child Are Safe

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor also arrived here one after another after learning the news of An Lingrong's childbirth. At this moment, they were sitting in their seats with worried expressions on their faces.

"Almost there, almost there, my lady, give it a little harder."

"My dear, push harder, I've already seen the end."

An Lingrong's screams continued to be heard from inside the house. Even the Queen rushed over after receiving the news. She knew very well that she could no longer do anything. However, even if the child could be born safely, who could guarantee that there would be no accidents in the future?

People in the house were busy coming in and out, and after a while, they heard the crying of a baby coming from inside the house.

Ever since she became pregnant, Zhen Huan and Nian Shilan paid special attention to An Lingrong's health, and would ask the imperial physician to come and take her pulse from time to time. Fortunately, she did not suffer too much during this delivery.

"It's born, it's born, the young lady gave birth safely."

"It's a little prince, that's great, congratulations, young lady."

Seeing An Lingrong give birth safely, Zhen Huan was so excited that she was at a loss. This was Lingrong's child. Lingrong had suffered so much in the past ten years, and now she finally got her reward.

"Quick, go and report to the Emperor."

Zhen Huan stayed by An Lingrong's side the whole time. She asked a midwife to go outside to announce the good news.

"Your Majesty, Concubine An has given birth to a little prince, and both mother and child are healthy."

"Hahaha, good, good, good, I have another little prince, great!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor nodded excitedly and directly rewarded all the palace servants.

"Anpin has made great contributions by giving birth to the prince. Considering Anpin's quiet and polite behavior in the past, I will grant her the title of Wen."

The empress dowager sitting next to him nodded in satisfaction at the emperor's arrangement.

"Lingrong, you should have a good rest first. We'll talk about it when you feel better."

Inside the room, Zhen Huan sat beside An Lingrong, holding her hand and comforting her softly.

"Okay, sister, I'm really a little tired."

After that, An Lingrong closed her eyes with a smile. Her life now was very good for her. She had sisters who treated her sincerely and blood relatives. She really couldn't be more satisfied.

After waiting for An Lingrong to fall into a deep sleep, Zhen Huan walked out of the room with light steps.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late. Why don't you go back and rest? I and the others will be fine here."

Nian Shilan had been waiting outside the house with the emperor and the empress dowager, and had never had the chance to go inside to see how An Lingrong was doing.

Now that the child is born, if the emperor continues to stay here, they will feel uncomfortable even talking to him.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's getting late. Why don't you go to my palace and rest for a while? You must be tired after working here for so long."

"Yes, Your Majesty, you can go with the Empress. Now that Concubine Wen is here, someone will take good care of her. Besides, there are Concubine Xi and Concubine Hua as well. Don't worry."

After hearing this, the emperor didn't say anything else. He just told Nian Shilan and the others to have a good rest and then left with the queen.

"Empress Dowager, why don't you go back and rest? You must be exhausted after such a long time."

Nian Shilan gently supported the empress dowager's body and spoke with concern.

"Okay, I'll go back right away. You've become more sensible now."

The Queen Mother patted Nian Shilan's hand with great satisfaction. Now that she was handling these matters, she was more relieved than ever.

After everyone left, Nian Shilan quickly took Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang to the inner room to visit the young prince and An Lingrong.

Because she had taken good care of herself before, An Lingrong recovered quickly even after giving birth. However, everyone was worried about her developing any underlying illness, so they kept her indoors. This sweet burden made her unable to bear the pain of trying to win the favor of her sisters even when she was bored.

"Ah, Sister Huan, I'm really bored. I used to be able to go out for a walk from time to time, but now I'm staying indoors all of a sudden. It's really uncomfortable."

One day, when Zhen Huan came to visit An Lingrong, An Lingrong couldn't help but complain to her.

Zhen Huan looked at her aggrieved little face and couldn't help but pinch it.

"I knew you were bored, so I came here to keep you company."

These days, whenever they have time, they will come to accompany her. Even if they don't do anything, it's good to just accompany her quietly.

"Don't worry, you'll be free in a few days. Your sister, the imperial concubine, has decided to let you out."

In fact, originally, she only needed to recuperate well for a month after giving birth, but they took into account that An Lingrong was not in good health when she was a child, so they wanted her to take this opportunity to recuperate well, which resulted in her having to stay in the house longer than ordinary people.

Even Nian Shilan joked that this was an order from the Imperial Concubine, requiring An Lingrong to stay for the full period.

"Really? That's great. Sister Nian is indeed the most beautiful and kind person in the world."

Over the past month, Nian Shilan would come to visit An Lingrong whenever she had nothing to do, and the relationship between them had grown much stronger. A few days ago, she even asked them to call her sister.

"Oh, this is the best in the world, okay? But what about my sister, and your sister Shen? That's not good."

They didn't know why, but seeing An Lingrong becoming more and more lively, they couldn't help but want to tease her more, which always made her very anxious.

"It's all good, it's all good. You all have been so anxious for Lingrong. If it weren't for you, Lingrong wouldn't have survived in this palace until today, let alone have her own children."

Thinking of this, An Lingrong's eyes became moist.

She had even done things to hurt them for the Queen before. Thinking about it now, she felt even more regretful. However, they did not take the previous things to heart and were always thinking about protecting her.

"Okay, you're already a mother. If you continue like this, your child will laugh at you when he grows up."

Zhen Huan understood what An Lingrong was thinking. She didn't say anything else, but just gently wiped away the tears from her eyes.

"Well, you will be able to move back to your own palace in a few days. Then we will go together to congratulate you."

"My lady, the young prince has woken up."

Just at this moment, Baojuan walked in, interrupting An Lingrong's sad mood.

"Hold it here and let me see it."

When An Lingrong heard that the child had woken up, she no longer had time to think about anything else and quickly asked the wet nurse to bring the child over.

"So cute! When I see him, I think of Lingxi and Hongzhou as newborns, little balls in my arms."

The little prince was looking at everything around him with his big watery eyes, as if he was interested in everything.

"Yes, when he grows up a little bit, he can play with his brothers and sisters."

"My lady, this is something that the Empress asked Aunt Jianqiu to deliver to you while you were resting."

"A gift from the Queen?"

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong looked at each other, and then silently looked at the exquisite jade disk in front of them.

"Put it up first."

It is safer to put the things sent by the Queen aside quietly.
