Upon receiving this good news, Liang Jiugong immediately told Emperor Kangxi.

"Your Majesty, someone from the Prince Yong's residence just reported that the Prince Yong's wife has safely given birth to a baby prince."

Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed upon hearing this, for the baby had finally been born.

Emperor Kangxi was quite concerned about the child in Tong Cheng'er's belly. Yinzhen was his cousin's adopted son, and Kangxi thought highly of his abilities and character. In addition, he had some health problems that were difficult to talk about, so Kangxi couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

One of the things that worried Emperor Kangxi the most was that Yinzhen had no successor. Now that Yinzhen has a son, Emperor Kangxi can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Very well, very well. Consort Yinzhen is blessed to have given birth to a prince with her first child. Liang Jiugong, go to the storeroom and fetch the eyebrow inkstone that I just acquired to give to the prince. Also, Consort Yinzhen had a hard time giving birth, so there is some new brocade from Jiangnan... Go there yourself."

Emperor Kangxi mentioned many fine things. Leaving aside other things, he mentioned the Meizi inkstone he gave to the young prince. It was a rare gem among She inkstones and an ancient inkstone passed down from the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty had only had it for a short time and loved it very much. Now, he gave it to the newborn prince of the Yongjun Prince's family without batting an eye.

This favor bestowed by the emperor is something no ordinary person can match.

As for the gifts given to the wife of Prince Yong, they were all rare and precious items, specially supplied by the royal family, unique items, which made them a rare honor.

Upon receiving Kangxi's words, Liang Jiugong immediately began preparations, as he needed to make the trip in person.

Although Liang Jiugong was a eunuch without a family background, he was a eunuch who served Emperor Kangxi closely. His daily duties were to serve Emperor Kangxi. He personally delivered the rewards, which represented his status.

When the sun was fully up, Liang Jiugong's reward arrived. Yinzhen accepted the reward, gave the silver, and then returned to the delivery room.

At this moment, Tong Cheng'er finally woke up.

She gave birth until midnight yesterday and is still feeling tired now. She woke up because she was hungry.

Yes, I was woken up by hunger.

When Tong Cheng'er opened her eyes, she was somewhat dazed. The uncomfortable feeling in her body made her feel a sense of reality, and she realized what day it was.

She appears to have given birth.

She looked up and saw Yinzhen staring straight at her from the bedside.

"You're awake. Are you hungry?"

Tong Cheng'er nodded gently, her voice a little hoarse: "I am indeed a little hungry."

Yinzhen: "I'll have someone prepare food and send it over."

Tong Cheng'er: "I'm not in a hurry to eat. I'll check on the child first."

She gave birth to him, but because she was so tired, she fell into a deep sleep after just one glance at the healthy boy she heard he was born.

Yinzhen: "Alright, I'll have someone bring the child over right away."

After saying that, Yinzhen got up and went outside. He first said to Su Peisheng, "Have the kitchen prepare some suitable food. I will eat with my wife."

Su Peisheng: "Yes."

Su Peisheng immediately went to the kitchen.

After giving instructions to Su Peisheng, Yinzhen went to the wet nurse and brought the child over.

His way of holding the child was very clumsy, as if he were holding a fragile piece of porcelain, afraid of dropping or breaking it.

Yinzhen carefully carried the child to Tong Cheng'er's bedside in the inner room.

When Tong Cheng'er saw him carrying the child over, her heart softened. As a first-time mother, she felt very unfamiliar with the role, and her heart ached, softened, and she even had some strange and inexplicable feelings.

Generally speaking, Tong Cheng'er was happy. When she saw the child come into view, she couldn't help but smile.

Yinzhen put the child aside, then carefully helped her up before picking her up again to show her.

Tong Cheng'er wanted to hug the child herself: "Let me hug him."

Yinzhen refused, saying, "You've just given birth, and the nanny said you shouldn't overexert yourself. Let's talk about it in a couple of days. I'll put the baby next to you; you don't need to hold him yourself."

Tong Cheng'er didn't argue with him any further after hearing this, and nodded, saying, "Okay."

After seeing that she agreed, Yinzhen placed the child on the inside of her bed.

Looking at the rosy-cheeked and slightly wrinkled child, Tong Cheng'er felt a surge of tenderness in her heart and couldn't resist teasing the child.

Thinking this, she did just that, smiling as she looked at the child, her eyes crinkling, and gently touching the child's face.

"So tender!"

There was a hint of surprise in his voice; the child's face felt wonderful to the touch.

After touching it, I couldn't help but linger for a while.

"This is the child I gave birth to."

Yinzhen chuckled and nodded, saying, "It's your child."

It is also his and her child, a child connected by blood and of the same lineage.

At this moment, Su Peisheng came over: "Master, Madam, the meal is ready."

Yinzhen stopped smiling and said to Su Peisheng, "Bring it over here."

Upon hearing this, Su Peisheng immediately had a small table set up by the bedside and hurriedly placed the food on it, afraid of being even a moment too late.

After the food was laid out, Yinzhen waved his hand and told everyone to leave.

Then Yinzhen held the bowl and fed Tong Cheng'er.

Although Tong Cheng'er was hungry, she didn't eat much. Having just given birth, the kitchen prepared the same food she was used during her postpartum period, with little oil and salt, and almost no flavor.

Tong Cheng'er wasn't particularly fond of food, but the meal was so bland that she found it tasteless, which is why she ate very little.

"Should we use some more?"

Tong Cheng'er shook her head: "I'm not eating."

I really can't eat anymore.

Even if I'm starving, I can't eat.

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen ate the rest of the food directly from her bowl and chopsticks.

Tong Cheng'er was stunned for a moment: "Have someone bring you another serving, you don't need to eat this food."
