Looking at the sky outside, it was clearly still daytime, but it was as dark as night outside.

Purple lightning streaked across the sky, followed by loud thunder.

"Boom! Boom!"

Xu Jinyi's heart began to beat fast, and soon, heavy rain began to pour down from the sky.

Big drops of rain poured down with the strong wind, and the ground was soon wet.

Even the doors in the hall were blown shut.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi asked someone to close the door and lit the candle herself.

Xu Jinyi was just about to ask Qi Yichen if he had left the court when his expression suddenly changed.

His hand clenched the spoon in his hand.

"My Lady, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Having followed Xu Jinyi for many years, Bai Zhi knew that something was wrong with Xu Jinyi just by looking at his expression.

"It looks like my water has broken. Go call the midwife."

This sentence frightened Bai Zhi terrified, even though the imperial physician had already pointed out that Xu Jinyi was pregnant with multiple babies and there was a high chance of premature birth.

So the midwife and the imperial physician made all the necessary arrangements.

But Bai Zhi still panicked: "One of you two go call the imperial physician, and the other go call the midwife. My lady, Bai Zhi will help you to the bed."

As Xu Jinyi's personal maid, Bai Zhi had already learned from the midwife what she should do when Xu Jinyi had a stomachache.

The two palace maids ran in the storm to look for someone, and Qi Yichen also suddenly felt a palpitation.

He hurried here after the court session.

Upon learning that Xu Jinyi was about to give birth, Qi Yichen, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were all waiting anxiously outside.

Because it was storming outside, I didn't wait outside the door, but waited in the outer room.

Looking at the plates of blood being brought out, Qi Yichen's face turned pale, his hands and feet became weak, and his heart was in turmoil.

Although the Queen Mother was worried, she immediately comforted Qi Yichen.

"It's okay. The imperial physician said the queen's pregnancy is very stable. The midwife also felt the baby's position. It will be fine."

Now I just hope that the child’s position is correct. If he is lying sideways, that would be bad.

With Xiaoqi around, Xu Jinyi was actually not very panicked. She just needed to wait quietly for the cervix to fully dilate and then start pushing.

Of course, even after taking pain-relieving pills, he would still pretend to scream a few times.

The process went smoothly and the first baby slid out through the birth canal quickly.

Listening to the crying of the child inside, Qi Yichen seemed to hear salvation.

No one noticed that the strong wind outside suddenly stopped and the sun came out from behind the dark clouds.

The dark clouds dispersed, and a gorgeous and beautiful rainbow hung high in the sky.

As the sun appeared, the room became brighter and the rustling sound of rain disappeared.

There were originally four midwives prepared, and now three of them plus Baizhi came out, each holding a cleaned baby to announce the good news.

"Congratulations to the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress on their safe births. They are blessed with three little princes and one little princess."

After being a midwife for so many years, this was the first time she delivered four children. All the births were safe and the midwife's face was filled with joy.

Four children were carried out at once. The Empress Dowager covered her mouth with her hands in excitement, feeling that she could not see enough.

Qi Yichen seemed to have finally returned to his soul. He ignored the children and asked anxiously, "Where's the Queen? How is she now?"

Without waiting for an answer, he strode inside.

Just as the midwife was about to stop her, she was stopped by the Empress Dowager.

Knowing that his son was worried, he would definitely not be at ease unless he saw with his own eyes that the queen was safe.

Besides, when she gave birth, the emperor still broke in.

The Queen Mother looked at the four babies sleeping peacefully one by one, then reached out and held the youngest princess in her arms.

"What a cute little princess! Being fourth isn't bad either. You'll have three older brothers to protect you."

"Let me see, let me see too. My little granddaughter is so pretty. She will definitely be as stunning as the queen when she grows up."

Qi Yichen walked in and saw Xu Jinyi's pale face, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Yier, thank you for your hard work. Does it hurt?"

Although she had pain-relieving pills and recovery pills, Xu Jinyi's face was still pale because so much blood was lost during the delivery process.

However, he didn't feel any discomfort physically. Anyway, Xu Jinyi felt relieved after unloading the goods.

Xu Jinyi smiled: "Qi Yichen, I didn't cry when I gave birth to my child. Are you going to cry? I will laugh at you."

Qi Yichen sat on the bedside and hugged the person in his arms: "Do you know how scared I am? I feel more scared and panicked than when I went to the battlefield to kill the enemy."

"Yier, we won't have any more children after this one. Four is enough for us."

Qi Yichen's voice became rough and nasal.

Xu Jinyi patted his back with amusement: "I'm fine, I'm fine, don't worry, I'm fine."

After cleaning the room, the midwife finally left, leaving space for the two of them.

After giving birth to this baby, Xu Jinyi really didn't plan to have any more. She didn't have much time left and didn't want to spend too much time on having a child.

She wanted to spend some good time with the man.

That’s why I took multiple pregnancy pills for this pregnancy, as I need four children.

As soon as the four children were born, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor became even more reluctant to travel.

These little guys are so cute, my heart melts when I hold them in my arms.

So I decided to stay again and watch the child grow up.

When the child was one year old, Xu Jinyi went to the Cining Palace alone, sent away all the palace maids and eunuchs, and stayed there with the empress dowager for an afternoon.

When Xu Jinyi left, the Empress Dowager's eyes were red and she saw her out.

You can tell at first glance that she has been crying.

After Xu Jinyi left, the Empress Dowager locked herself in the room and cried for a while before going to find the Emperor.

Three days later, Qi Yichen happily walked into the Yangxin Palace.

He opened his arms and hugged Xu Jinyi in his arms.

"The Emperor said that he and Mother couldn't bear to leave their grandchildren behind, so they didn't plan to travel anymore."

"He said that if you and I have ideas, he can help manage the government again. Why don't we go out and have fun together and explore this wonderful world? Otherwise, we won't have much time to leave the palace."

Xu Jinyi's eyes widened: "Of course, I want to go to Jiangnan, to Heshan, and to many beautiful places."

After looking at the child, they both put on their bags and set off together.

More than three years passed quickly, and the two lived an ordinary life in a valley far away from the capital.

In the past three years, they have traveled to many places, seen many landscapes, and left many traces of themselves along the way.

When Qi Yichen came back from shopping that day, he saw Xu Jinyi lying quietly in the sea of flowers.

Qi Yichen felt a sudden rush of panic, dropped what he was holding, and ran up to him: "Yier, Yier?"

Xu Jinyi opened his eyes tiredly: "Huh? Looking around, did I fall asleep again?"
