First Princess Consort 1: "Princess Consort, push harder, this servant..."

"My lady, push harder, I can already see the little prince's head..."

Chen Xia was woken up by the pain. Damn it, how did she end up in the delivery room? She could have been brought here after giving birth.

While turning her head, Chen Xia popped a natural birth pill into her mouth. Ten minutes later, a chubby little baby was born.

The midwife excitedly cleaned and wiped the baby, wrapped her up, and took her out to congratulate the eldest prince, Yinqi.

When Yinti saw the midwife carrying the swaddled baby out, he couldn't help but nervously rub his hands together. Upon hearing that it was the little prince, he was so excited that he almost burst into tears.

It wasn't easy, it was really too difficult. Thanks to the mercy of the Eternal Heaven, he, Aisin Gioro Yinti, finally has a legitimate eldest son.

Chen Xia stuffed a Rejuvenation Pill and a Rejuvenation Pill into her mouth. The original owner of this body was betrothed to the eldest prince, Yinqi, in the 26th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign.

After marriage, the couple had a harmonious relationship. In order to fulfill the eldest prince's wish for a legitimate son, she gave birth to four daughters in eight years from the twenty-seventh to the thirty-fifth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, and finally gave birth to the eldest legitimate son.

She gave birth to five children in eight years, and the frequent pregnancies severely depleted her health. After giving birth to her eldest son, Hongyu, she was bedridden and passed away two years later.

She was quite accepting of her own life and death, but she couldn't accept that her children would all die young like her.

She gave her all, hoping that the mission take care of her five children and do everything possible to stop Yinqi from continuing to compete with the Crown Prince.

Counting the timeline, in the first half of the year, Yinzhi received a commendation from Emperor Kangxi for his military achievements, who called him "the most skilled warrior among the princes."

He was also appointed to oversee the Yongding River works, and it was from this time that the struggle between Yinti and Crown Prince Yinreng began to become public.

Emperor Kangxi truly loved Crown Prince Yinreng, but with the desire for his son to succeed, he not only set strict requirements for Yinreng, but also pushed all his other children to excel in both literature and martial arts.

Once they came of age, they were all given opportunities, and some were even personally promoted to counterbalance the crown prince.

Ultimately, however, they were merely pawns that Kangxi had installed to keep the Crown Prince in check. This is why, when the Third Prince Yinzhi accused Yinti of using witchcraft to plot against the Crown Prince, Kangxi directly ordered him to be permanently imprisoned.

Yinti was impulsive, easily angered, and acted too aggressively. He was brave enough to lead troops into battle, but unfortunately, he was brave but lacked strategy.

Fortunately, there are still about ten years before the crown prince is deposed and he is imprisoned, which is enough time for Chen Xia to slowly make his plans.

The original owner's body was too exhausted, and Chen Xia had been in a daze ever since taking the recovery pill and the rejuvenating pill.

After giving birth, she had the system affix loyalty charms to all the servants in the First Prince's residence.

In addition, thanks to the original manager's skillful management, although she was in a coma for a long time, the entire household was still under her control.

Although the eldest prince was overjoyed to have a legitimate son, he still had feelings for his first wife, Lady Irgen Gioro.

Seeing that she had been in a coma since giving birth, he was very worried. Although the imperial physician repeatedly assured him that the First Princess Consort was weak, she was not in immediate danger of death.

But he didn't believe this vague explanation at all, and the entire Imperial Medical Academy was turned upside down by him.

Emperor Kangxi couldn't do anything with his impetuous son, and since his primary wife was indeed in poor health, he would only scold him a few times before letting him be.

In order to provoke the Crown Prince, the eldest prince naturally went to great lengths to celebrate his eldest son's third-day celebration. During the celebration, Emperor Kangxi personally bestowed upon him the name Hongyu.

The eldest prince cherished this hard-won son very much. When he was brought out for everyone to see during the baby's third-day celebration, he immediately had the wet nurse take him back to the main courtyard.

Although Chen Xia slept a lot and woke up little, she didn't neglect any of the tasks related to recuperating Hongyu and her four daughters' health.

Although Hongyu was only three days old, he was given a brain-boosting pill and a gene evolution liquid at birth. He had fair skin, a delicate and lovely appearance, and a chubby little face that was adorable.

Even the Crown Prince, who had always been at odds with the First Prince, couldn't help but feel a fondness for him. He lamented that the First Prince, that barbarian, could actually father such a gifted and intelligent son; it was truly despicable.

Chen Xia was in a coma for more than half a month before finally recovering, and the two old doctors who came to check his pulse every day finally breathed a sigh of relief.

For the past two weeks, they have been so frightened by the eldest prince that they have lost their appetite, couldn't sleep at night, and were constantly disturbed.

They were terrified that something might happen to the First Princess Consort, and that their entire family would perish. Now that the First Princess Consort has awakened, their lives and property have finally been saved.

In Yanxi Palace, Consort Hui was overjoyed to hear from a young eunuch that the Grand Princess had woken up and the imperial physician said that her health was no longer a problem. She kept chanting Buddhist prayers.

She ordered her maid, Zhang, to open the private treasury, and then led a group to the First Prince's residence to visit the First Princess Consort on her behalf. She then washed her hands, burned incense, and entered the small Buddhist hall to pray for the First Prince's family.

Consort Hui was overjoyed that her son had finally given birth to a legitimate eldest son, but this joy was quickly followed by worry.

To put it bluntly, if anything were to happen to Lady Irgen Gioro, Yinqi would definitely have to marry her as his second wife.

No one can say for sure what kind of person the stepmother is, but one thing is certain: a child without his own mother's protection will definitely have a hard time.

Consort Hui had already decided that if Lady Irgen Gioro were to truly pass away, she would risk her reputation to beg Emperor Kangxi to raise Hongyu in her palace.

Now that Lady Irgen Gioro's health has stabilized, the huge weight that had been hanging over her heart has finally been lifted.

Chen Xia had taken a fasting pill beforehand, so she didn't feel hungry. After she woke up, she ordered someone to bring her adopted son, Hongyu.

After holding Hongyu in her arms, she had the little system use a medical examination device to give the mother and son a full physical examination.

Hongyu's physical indicators were all very healthy, and Chen Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

The original owner was extremely weak during her pregnancy and had to take medication to prevent miscarriage every day. All medicines have side effects, and Hongyu's poor health and inability to have children were largely due to his inadequate care in the womb.

The Rejuvenating Pills and Recovery Pills she took were slow-release medications, so they couldn't possibly have an immediate effect and restore her body to normal. Most of the medication's effects are still remaining; she should recover in a few months.

After confirming that Hongyu was in good health, Chen Xia handed him over to the wet nurse, saying, "Take good care of the eldest prince."

The wet nurse respectfully responded, carefully carrying Hongyu, and withdrew together with the other wet nurses and maids who were taking care of Hongyu.

With the loyalty talisman in place, Hongyu's wet nurses took excellent care of him. With the original owner's wet nurses also present, Hongyu's safety was not a concern whatsoever.

Just as the wet nurse carried Hongyu out of the inner room, they encountered four princesses who came with maids and nannies to pay their respects to the Grand Princess.

The maids and servants hurriedly greeted the four princesses. The eight-year-old eldest princess, Ushiha, pulled her four-year-old younger sister along and calmly greeted them.

He took the little brother from the wet nurse's arms, kissed him, and then reluctantly handed him back to the wet nurse, earnestly instructing them to take good care of the eldest prince.

Then he turned to ask Granny Guo, "Granny, is Mother feeling any better today?"

After bowing and greeting the princess, Granny Guo replied, "Your Highness, the princess looks much better today."

Ushiha led her three younger sisters into the inner room. Seeing Chen Xia leaning against the bed, smiling at them, tears immediately streamed down her face: "Mother..."

The two younger ones were even more excited and rushed into Chen Xia's arms. Chen Xia embraced her third daughter, Sule, and fourth daughter, Ruizhu, and smiled as she comforted Ushiha and Anari, who were wiping away their tears.

“Isn’t Mother alright? Mother heard from the nanny that Ushiha has been working hard these past few days, taking care of her younger sister and brother, and helping Mother manage the household.”

Ushiha blushed slightly: "My second sister helped too."

Chen Xia gently patted her two daughters' heads: "Our Ana Ri is so well-behaved, Mommy is so happy."

When the youngest, Ruizhu, heard Chen Xia only praising her two older sisters, she protested: "Zhuzhu has been a good girl! Mother, I've been good too, haven't I?"

Chen Xia kissed each of the four girls in turn: "You are all very good, you are all your mother's good daughters."

Looking at Ushiha, who was only eight years old but acted like a little adult, Chen Xia couldn't help but feel sorry for her and Ana.

In her previous life, the original owner died two years after giving birth to Hongyu, and Yinti quickly married his second wife.

These two sisters not only had to make a living under their stepmother's care, but also had to take care of their two younger sisters and a frail younger brother. Their lives were incredibly difficult.

Less than two years after her marriage, her father was accused of being a traitor and stripped of his title of Prince, and was imprisoned forever.

She had already married far away to Mongolia and lost the support of her family, so she died quietly a few years later.

Of her four daughters, only Sule lived to the first year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign; the other three died before they were even thirty. Thinking about it, Chen Xia felt a pang of heartache.

After chatting and laughing with his four daughters for a while, Ushiha very considerately led his three younger sisters away.

Even though Chen Xia repeatedly assured her that she was truly recovered, she still insisted that Chen Xia lie down and rest immediately.

Faced with such a thoughtful daughter, Chen Xia naturally enjoyed the filial piety of her daughters.

Before the young girls had even left, the eldest prince, Yinti, rushed in. Seeing Chen Xia embracing her two younger daughters and smiling as she spoke to her eldest and second daughters, he excitedly called out, "My Ladyship..."

Yinti was explicitly recorded by missionaries as Kangxi's most handsome son. If he had a different hairstyle, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a "jade tree of outstanding talent."

Bouvet spared no effort in praising him for his handsome appearance, exceptional talent, and outstanding abilities.

He was the eldest prince who could rival the crown prince, whom Emperor Kangxi had raised, and they were evenly matched. Perhaps he was impulsive, but he was definitely not the kind of brainless fool portrayed in TV dramas.

Yinqi walked to the bedside, picked up Sule and Ruizhu, kissed them each, and teased, "Why is my wife looking at me like that?"

Chen Xia smiled and said, "You've become even more handsome and dashing in just a few days. I couldn't help but stare in amazement."

Yinti put his two younger daughters down, and Wuxiha, being sensible, led his three younger sisters away quickly.

Yinqi grasped Chen Xia's hand: "You've worked so hard, my lady. These past few days you've been in a coma, and my heart has been burning with anxiety. If it weren't for the need to give me a legitimate son, your health wouldn't be in such a state..."

"What are you saying, sir? If I don't give birth, do you want the concubines in the backyard to give birth?"

Yinqi pulled Chen Xia into his arms: "Look at you, you're jealous again. Those are just things to amuse yourself in your spare time. Why are you bringing them up, my lady? When did I allow them to have children?"

When the women of the Wuya, Guan, and Qian clans in the backyard heard the news that the First Consort's health had improved, they smiled and chanted Buddhist prayers, secretly resenting Chen Xia's good fortune in surviving. At the same time, they were overjoyed that Chen Xia had finally given birth to a legitimate son.

The eldest prince, Yinti, and his primary wife were childhood sweethearts with a deep affection for each other, and they longed to have a legitimate eldest son.

Although he had several concubines in the backyard, he rarely slept with them, and every time he did, he made sure they drank a contraceptive soup.

They dared not outwardly comply but inwardly defy him. Previously, one concubine had secretly vomited up the contraceptive soup and secretly became pregnant. Even if the eldest prince was angry, the deed was done, and he would not abort his own child.

However, she underestimated the First Prince's control over the household. She had just vomited up the contraceptive soup she had drunk when someone reported it to the First Prince.

The eldest prince ordered someone to force-feed her a contraceptive soup and warned the concubines and princesses in the backyard that if anyone disobeyed her and vomited up the contraceptive soup, they would be forced to have the same contraceptive soup forced on them.

The eldest prince's move completely stunned everyone in the inner courtyard. From then on, they all obediently drank the contraceptive soup.

The eldest prince had stated beforehand that they would only be allowed to conceive after the primary consort gave birth to the eldest son.

If she behaves well, she'll still have a chance to get pregnant in the future; if she doesn't, he can always replace her with a new batch of obedient ones.

Now that the First Consort has given birth to a legitimate son, their opportunity has arrived.

The women in the backyard were itching to get pregnant, unaware that Chen Xia had already given the eldest prince a contraceptive pill with a ten-year-long effect. Those in the backyard who wanted to conceive and have children would likely have no choice but to have an affair.

The concubines and princesses in the backyard, their confidantes are all Chen Xia's people now. As long as they stay obediently in the backyard, Chen Xia will naturally provide them with a life of luxury, since it's the eldest prince who's paying for it.

To keep them from causing trouble, they shouldn't have any more children. Since Chen Xia isn't good at abortions, let's address the root cause. Give the eldest prince a birth control pill, the kind that lasts at least ten years.
