"Congratulations, Madam, it's a prince." The midwife wrapped the prince in a blanket, exchanged a few polite words with Mingyu, and then took the child out to find Hongli.

Hongli looked at his brother, who was covered in red blood, and his heart stirred. This was his child, the child with whom he shared blood, and the child who had almost caused Mingyu's death.

"Take good care of the prince," Hongli instructed the midwife, then swept his sleeve and rushed into the delivery room.

After giving birth, Mingyu lay in bed, completely exhausted. She opened her eyes and looked at Xueying standing beside her. Xueying met her gaze but remained silent. When Hongli entered, he didn't even glance at Xueying. He went straight to the bedside, took Fucha Mingyu's hand, and began to speak tenderly to her.

"Mingyu, are you alright? I was outside just now, trying to come in, but they wouldn't let me." Hongli held Mingyu's hand tightly, his anxiety evident on his face.

Mingyu half-opened her eyes and shook her head with great effort: "How can a prince enter such a filthy place as the delivery room?"

"Don't say such things, I won't allow you to say such things," Hongli said with a stern face.

Xueying listened to the conversation between the two, lowered her head, and silently left the house.

When she went outside, she saw the newborn prince surrounded by a group of people. The midwife was holding the prince, and Su and Gao were looking at the prince, laughing and teasing him.

"Your nose really resembles that of a prince." Madam Gao smiled, her eyes crinkling. The prince was handsome and very likable.

Hearing this, Xueying felt a pang of envy for Mingyu. When would she be able to have a child with Hongli? Touching her flat stomach, Xueying went forward to look at the prince. Just as Gao had said, the prince looked very much like the prince, especially his clever nose, which was exactly the same as that of Prince Bao.

"Consort, we owe you a great debt this time." Madam Gao rarely showed Xueying a kind expression. Xueying nodded slightly, looking at the prince sleeping in the midwife's arms, a tender maternal affection appearing on her brow.

After the imperial physician prescribed medicine for Fucha Mingyu, he returned to the palace with the news that Mingyu had successfully given birth to a prince and reported it to the Fourth Prince and Lanqin.

Lanqin was overjoyed upon hearing the news and discussed with the Fourth Prince what reward to bestow upon Mingyu.

“Mingyu is a good girl. She has given Hongli a son. Your Majesty, I am going to use my private treasury.” Lanqin said, puffing out her chest.

The Fourth Prince chuckled and said, "Yes, Qin'er's private treasury is far more abundant than mine."

Lanqin smiled and exchanged a glance with the Fourth Master, then instructed Cui Niang to take a few maids to pick out some things. The Fourth Master thought for a moment, then summoned Su Peisheng.

"According to Prince Bao's status, go and select some items to reward his principal wife," the Fourth Prince instructed, then added, "You will personally deliver these rewards, understand?"

"Yes, sir!" Su Peisheng nodded and withdrew.

With the Fourth Prince and Lanqin's instructions in mind, Su Peisheng immediately gathered people to handle the matter. In accordance with the Fourth Prince and Lanqin's request, he prepared many rewards and had eunuchs carry the mahogany boxes to Hongli's residence.

After receiving the rewards from the palace, Hongli personally gave Su Peisheng and several eunuchs large purses before going to Mingyu's room.
