Su Peisheng had already brought over a grand chair, and only then did the Fourth Master sit down.

With Granny Zhong inside, the Fourth Prince could only feel a little more at ease.

The imperial physician has already prescribed the medicine.

Upon hearing of the arrival of his wife, the Fourth Prince's eyelids twitched slightly, and his tone was not very pleasant: "Why has the Princess Consort come?"

The princess consort remained silent and bowed, saying, "I heard that Sister Li is about to give birth, and I was worried about her, so I came to check on her. How is she doing inside?"

The second half of the question was directed at Dongsheng, who was standing at the door.

The maids were busy going in and out, and he was keeping watch over them.

Upon hearing the question, he bowed but remained silent.

Impatientness flashed in the Fujin's eyes. Just as she was about to say something, the Fourth Prince spoke first.

"What are you doing standing there, Madam? Go to the side room and wait."

What the Fourth Prince meant by that was that his wife was an eyesore.

The princess's face paled, but she still silently curtsied and was led to the side room by Dongsheng.

There was no one else in the room. The princess frowned: "Why didn't I hear any noise from inside?"

Yu Ru looked around and whispered, "Don't worry, Madam. The people that Granny Qian arranged are all experienced. They will definitely be foolproof."

The princess smiled, but said, "I only hope that Sister Li will have a safe delivery this time."

Yu Ru smiled and replied, "The concubine is blessed with good fortune and will surely have a safe delivery."

The Fourth Prince was waiting outside the delivery room. He had already sent someone to the Ministry of Revenue to speak with them, so he wouldn't be able to go there anytime soon.

He sat still, but for some reason his right eyelid kept twitching, making Fourth Master feel uneasy.

He tried several times to go in and take a look, but Su Peisheng stopped him each time.

"Even if you go in now, you might not be of any help. In fact, talking to Master Li might just distract him."

Fourth Master had no choice but to sit down; the morning breeze was still a bit chilly.

Su Peisheng originally wanted to persuade the Fourth Master to go to the side room, but seeing the Fourth Master's expression, he didn't dare to do so anymore.

There was no sound coming from inside. At this moment, Granny Zhong was adjusting the baby's position. She was an old hand at this; she had been there when Consort De gave birth to the Fourteenth Prince, and she had seen this kind of thing many times before.

Li Chenjiao was also holding back her strength, and it wasn't time for her to exert herself yet, so the Fourth Master outside couldn't hear any noise.

The news of the initiation by the concubine in the East Courtyard quickly spread throughout the inner courtyard. However, no one dared to come to the East Courtyard to cause trouble. Before noon, Madam Song and Madam Wu went to the side room for a while.

Afterwards, the princess returned to the main courtyard, using the excuse that she wanted to go back and see the second prince.

By noon, there was still no sound coming from the delivery room.

Both Madam Song and Madam Wu had given birth before. Looking at the situation, Madam Song couldn't help but mutter, "It looks like it'll be nighttime... This is going to be exhausting. Why wasn't it as easy as when she gave birth to the Second Princess?"

Madam Wu laughed at her, saying, "Who can say for sure about a woman's childbirth? Let's just wait patiently."

There was no one else in the room. The maids in the east courtyard were busy with their mistress's childbirth. After serving hot tea, they all withdrew.

Madam Song twitched the corners of her mouth, but in reality, she really disliked Madam Wu's calm and composed demeanor: "Sister Wu, do you really hope that she can have a safe delivery?"

Wu Shi continued to smile, but the emotion in her eyes was unfathomable: "That's natural."

Song pursed her lips, not believing Wu's words at all.

Lunchtime had already passed; Madam Song and Madam Wu had already eaten lunch before arriving, followed by Madam Liu and Madam Baijia.

After Bai Jia sat down, she felt a little nervous: "I've always heard people say that childbirth is extremely painful for women, so why haven't I heard any sounds this time?"

At this moment, Madam Song recalled the difficulty of her childbirth and pursed her lips: "Perhaps I was saving up my strength, or perhaps I simply didn't have enough strength..."

Several people sat upright, with Madam Xu being the last to arrive.

No one paid her any attention; they kept changing their teacups, but no good news came...

Outside the delivery room, the Fourth Master watched as several bowls of qi-tonifying herbal soup were brought in, while the maids brought out countless basins of bloody fluid.

The deep crimson color stung Fourth Master's eyes, and the irresistible stench of blood filled his nostrils, tightening the string of worry in his heart even further.

Only now did Fourth Master feel a bit hot. Half a day passed, and Fourth Master felt even more anxious.

For both lunch and dinner, Su Peisheng brought food boxes from the front kitchen. Song Shi and the others had already been ordered to return home by the Fourth Master at dinner time.

They can't be of much help here.

The Fourth Master only ate a few bites of food hastily.

As night deepened, Fulu replaced the palace lanterns hanging under the eaves to provide light, but no good news came from inside. Fortunately, Qiuhu came out panting and said that Li Chenjiao's baby was in the correct position and everything was alright.

However, there is still no result yet.

The imperial physician, Lin, and the maids continued to come and go as usual.

It's true that first pregnancies can be tough, but this wasn't Li's first pregnancy...

Fourth Master knew in his heart where things had gone wrong, and his eyes were darker than the night.

As dawn broke, and after an unknown amount of time, when Su Peisheng brought breakfast, the Fourth Master ate only a little without any taste.

It's been a day and a night.

As the sun gradually rose, Fourth Master vaguely heard the cry of a baby, mixed in with the voices of people, and it was not very clear.

Fourth Master stood up instantly and walked to the door in a few steps, just as the baby's cries drew near.

It's born!

Su Peisheng knelt down with a thud: "Great news, Master!"

The Fourth Prince ignored him and carefully lifted the curtain to enter the delivery room.

Granny Zhong was covered in sweat at this moment. When she saw the Fourth Master, she frowned and said, "Please wait outside and be careful not to let the wind in."

Since the midwife was dismissed, no one is saying whether it's a prince or a princess right now.

Fourth Master obediently stood behind the screen after listening to Granny Zhong's words, but his heart was not necessarily as calm as he appeared on the surface.

The smell of blood lingered in the air. The child should have been held by the wet nurse who had been chosen long ago, but at this moment, Lin Mama was not comfortable with anyone else, so she went to call Zhong Shi, who was by the Second Princess's side.

Madam Zhong carried the child to Fourth Master and announced the good news.

"Congratulations, Your Highness! Your concubine has given birth to a prince! Mother and child are both safe and sound!"
