In a world ravaged by catastrophe, the formidable Ye Wanwan is suddenly transmigrated to the Qing Dynasty. After her experiences in the apocalypse, Ye Wanwan no longer trusts anyone.
She was ...
For the next period of time, Kangxi helped Wanwan walk around the delivery room.
In a short while, all the concubines of the six palaces, as well as some unfavored concubines, arrived. Since the Imperial Noble Consort was giving birth, those of lower rank than the Imperial Noble Consort were required to stay and watch over her.
Even the Crown Prince and Yinzhen in the Qianqing Palace knew about this news. Accompanied by servants, the Crown Prince and Yinzhen hurriedly returned to the Jingren Palace.
Fortunately, these two children are still relatively young and haven't taken riding and archery lessons yet, otherwise they wouldn't know this yet!
However, the reality was clearly different from what Kangxi had imagined. Whether it was Wanwan's own physique as a superhuman or the system's assistance, her childbirth was destined to be smooth sailing.
So after walking for about 15 minutes, Wanwan realized that she was about to give birth.
During that half hour, she experienced two contractions, but they were both very short and not too painful for Wanwan.
The midwife noticed this and quickly had Wanwan lie down on the bed, asking the emperor to leave. After all, in ancient times, childbirth was considered an unclean affair, and the delivery room was considered unclean, so men generally did not enter, let alone the emperor.
The midwife said, "Your Majesty, your baby is in the correct position. It looks like you're about to give birth. You should lie down in bed immediately."
Emperor Kangxi hadn't expected her to give birth so soon, and besides, Wanwan didn't seem to be in much pain.
Wanwan noticed Kangxi's confusion and quickly answered, "Your Majesty, I am in good health, so even if it hurts, I can still bear it. Please leave."
Emperor Kangxi listened to the advice and left. Although he liked Wanwan, he didn't need to accompany her during childbirth. After all, as the ruler of a country, he still had to save face.
Besides, even if he stayed with Wanwan, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang would definitely make things difficult for her when she found out about it, so it would be better for him to wait outside.
Kangxi said, "Alright, then I'll head out now."
Wanwan said, "Go out quickly, I'm about to give birth too."
When Kangxi went outside, he saw all the concubines in the harem waiting outside; they didn't even have the right to sit.
There were also some concubines he didn't recognize, who were actually out of favor and whom he had only met once or twice before abandoning them.
When the emperor came out, the concubines rushed out to greet him, saying, "Your Majesty, may Your Majesty be blessed with ten thousand years of happiness and peace."
At this moment, Kangxi was in no mood to deal with these concubines, so he simply said, "Get up," and sat down on the stool that Changping had prepared for him.
She didn't say a word, just stared at the delivery room.
Unfortunately, even if you stare at the delivery room, you can't see anything, because Wanwan didn't make a sound at all.
After a while, there was still no sound from the delivery room. Kangxi was puzzled, as were the concubines waiting outside. Why was there no sound?
Each of the concubines was thinking to themselves, 'Could something have happened? But who would dare to harm the Imperial Noble Consort? Their ranks are quite different.'
Even if someone is very capable, they couldn't possibly extend their reach into Jingren Palace.
No one knows what they are thinking.
At this moment, the Crown Prince also brought his younger brother, the Fourth Prince, to Jingren Palace. As soon as Yinzhen entered Jingren Palace, he ran straight to Kangxi and asked, "Father, Father, is Mother about to give birth?"
Kangxi looked at the Crown Prince and Yinzhen and without saying a word pulled the two children to his side, holding them in his arms on either side.
Kangxi said, "Yes, your Empress Mother is about to give birth. Soon you two will have a younger brother or sister."
Because Wanwan was someone Emperor Kangxi liked, he was happy regardless of whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl. Besides, the status of a Manchu aunt was still very high.
So even when they were five or six months pregnant, and the imperial physician could determine the sex, neither of them asked the physician.
The crown prince was still somewhat afraid of childbirth.
Although he had never met his biological mother, he knew that she had died because of him, so he felt a little scared and his little hands unconsciously clenched.
The Crown Prince said, "Father, Mother will be alright, won't she?"
Upon hearing this, Kangxi knew what the Crown Prince was thinking. He must have been thinking about the fact that the late Empress had not given birth to him.
Emperor Kangxi comforted the Crown Prince, saying, "Don't worry, your mother will definitely be alright, and your father won't let anything happen to her either."
The Crown Prince felt a little relieved after hearing his father's words. In his eyes, his father was the most powerful person in the world, and if his father said everything was alright, then everything was definitely alright.
The two children, for some reason, perhaps because of the quiet atmosphere, didn't say anything more, but just clung tightly to Kangxi and looked at the delivery room.
Wanwan lay on the delivery room bed, but she didn't give birth immediately. She didn't want to arouse suspicion from others, otherwise, giving birth in less than two hours would seem a bit abnormal.
Less than an hour has passed since her water broke when she was having lunch. She doesn't want to give birth now, otherwise it would seem abnormal.
But the current situation is a bit difficult for her. Her stomach doesn't hurt much, and she hasn't sweated much either.
She didn't look like she was about to give birth, and she couldn't even scream in extreme pain.
The midwife and Tingyutingfeng, seeing that their mistress wasn't making any noise, assumed that she was gathering her strength.
Knowing that crying out in pain too early wouldn't help and would only make one weaker, he secretly admired the Empress's perseverance.
This is truly a wonderful misunderstanding.
A short while later, the two Grand Empress Dowagers and the Empress Dowager from Cining Palace also arrived. They only started to leave Cining Palace after they had coaxed the Fifth Prince to sleep.
Upon seeing the arrival of the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, another large group of people came to pay their respects.
Emperor Kangxi rose first, saying, "Your grandson greets His Majesty the Empress Dowager, and your son pays respects to His Majesty the Empress Dowager."
The concubines greeted the Empress Dowager, wishing her boundless blessings and good health.
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang said, "Get up."
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and the Empress Dowager sat down on the chairs.
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang asked, "Xuan Ye, how is Wanwan inside?"
The concubines were very jealous when they heard Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang affectionately address the Imperial Noble Consort as Wanwan, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Emperor Kangxi had just entered the delivery room when his grandson arrived earlier. He was helped to walk around a couple of times when the midwife said it was almost time, and then his grandson came out.
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang: "Hmm, is there no problem?"
The midwife told Emperor Kangxi that the Imperial Noble Consort's baby was in the correct position and that she was in good health, so there should be no problem.
Ugh, so frustrating! I'm completely out of inspiration. What should I do? I don't know how to write anymore! (?_?)
Sigh, I hope all my friends can achieve whatever they want to do. ヾ(????)???~
