Ahem, although Ituma Shushu wasn't worried about the Queen because she had any deep feelings for her.

However, Hmph, Ituma Shushu thinks she cares more about the Empress than Emperor Yongzheng does!

From worrying about the Empress not being pregnant, to worrying about the Empress becoming pregnant, and now worrying about the Empress's childbirth.

As she thought about it, Ituma Shushu couldn't help but frown.

After verifying the efficacy of the "Daughter-Giving Pill" and "Son-Giving Pill" with herself, Consort Yu, and Consort Ning, Ituma Shushu discovered that they not only enhanced the pregnant woman's constitution but also helped with childbirth.

She took "painless delivery fluid" during childbirth, so it doesn't count.

However, Consort Yu and Consort Ning are two good examples.

Over the years, Ituma Shushu has compared the conditions of other pregnant women during childbirth with those of Consort Yu and Consort Ning, based on what she has heard. She has concluded that the "Girl-Giving Elixir" can indeed increase the probability of a safe delivery by strengthening the pregnant woman's constitution.

Especially Consort Ning, she is the best example.

Even though she took the fertility pill early on, it was still a long time before she conceived the imperial heir. It was only then that Ituma Shushu learned that Consort Ning's constitution was weak and that it was difficult for her to get pregnant.

However, at first glance, it seemed to Ituma Shushu that Consort Ning was aloof and cold, and her appearance did not suggest that she was physically weak.

On the contrary, Consort Yu gave her a slightly weaker feeling, which made it easier to arouse her protective instincts.

Who would have thought that after Consort Yu took the pill to give birth to a daughter, she quickly became pregnant and gave birth to a princess, while Consort Ning, who took the pill first, made Ituma Shushu wait for a long time.

Therefore, when Consort Ning was giving birth, what Consort Jing and Consort Qi said at that time was not actually alarmist.

According to Ituma Shushu, if it weren't for the effects of the fertility pill, Consort Ning would have had a difficult childbirth even if she had gotten pregnant.

So, normally speaking, the Empress should have been able to give birth to the princess safely.

However, that's assuming there are no unexpected events. Who knows if someone in the harem might be secretly plotting to sabotage the Empress's delivery!

However, Ituma Shushu felt that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, those people would be chopped off by Emperor Yongzheng and the Empress before they even reached the Empress's side.

In short, she felt that, normally speaking, given the abilities of Emperor Yongzheng and the Empress, no one should be able to cross their defenses.

But things are unpredictable!

Unlike herself, who was an unimportant concubine, even if she gave birth to a prince, she would still be an unimportant figure.

To outsiders today, it seems highly likely that the Empress gave birth to Emperor Yongzheng's only legitimate son.

The influence of the legitimate sons was also significant.

Alas, the relationships between the imperial court and the harem are incredibly complex!

Ituma Shushu grew increasingly agitated, and finally, she decided to stop thinking about it altogether. She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and silently prayed: hoping that Her Majesty the Empress would give birth to the princess safely, and hoping that Emperor Yongzheng would live a few more years…

When she opened her eyes again, she found some nobles and servants imitating her. They were now just like she had been, with their hands clasped together and their eyes closed, praying silently.

Ituma Shushu felt a wave of embarrassment…

Before I knew it, the night had passed.

As dawn breaks, sunlight filters through the clouds, illuminating every corner under the clear sky and bright moonlight.

And now, the glow of the sunset fills the entire hall.

Deep within the magnificent palace, in an elegantly decorated delivery room, the Empress was experiencing the difficult moment of childbirth.

Her face was contorted with pain, her forehead was covered in sweat, and her hands gripped the sheets tightly, as if she were pouring all her strength into this life-or-death struggle.

Finally, with the cry of a baby, the entire clear and bright moon seemed to tremble.

Yongzheng immediately put down his teacup, stood up abruptly, and strode to the door of the delivery room.

Ituma Shushu breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel excited, but she dared not open "Dawn Mall" now.

However, there's some excitement to watch now.

Then, Ituma Shushu secretly glanced at Consort Xi, and sure enough, her expression was very unpleasant.

Then, Ituma Shushu glanced at Consort Qi and Consort Yu as if it were an unintentional act.

Oh, Consort Qi had her head down, and Ituma Shushu couldn't see her expression.

Consort Yu seemed to be deep in thought, and Ituma Shushu could only see that she was frowning.

Ituma Shushu looked around again. Oh, so many concubines were stealing glances at Consort Qi, Consort Xi, and Consort Yu, and some concubines were also stealing glances at her. Some of them were caught by her!

Ituma Shushu thought to herself: It's definitely not the right time to open "Dawn Mall".

Well, ever since I became Consort Shu, there have been a lot of people constantly observing and studying my expressions.

Ituma Shushu had just noticed that Consort Yun was peeking at her, and she couldn't help but become more vigilant. To be honest, if Consort Yun hadn't been born several years late, she wouldn't have entered the harem after Emperor Yongzheng ascended the throne.

Even if she had been born a few years earlier and entered the harem of Emperor Yongzheng or Prince Yong, she might have been able to achieve great things.

Finally, Consort Qi came to her senses and moved towards the door of the delivery room.

Following behind Consort Qi were Consort Xi and Consort Yu, who also walked towards the door of the delivery room.

Next up was Ituma Shushu, who was the least senior of the four consorts, so she naturally followed the other three consorts.

When they arrived at the delivery room, they hadn't yet seen the nanny come out with the baby to announce the good news. Of course, although it seemed like a long time had passed, it was actually just a moment.

After all, those three imperial concubines were no ordinary people; they wouldn't be foolish enough to let Emperor Yongzheng see through them to his face.

At this moment, Consort Qi said softly, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. It seems that the Empress has given birth safely."

"Yes, that's wonderful. Her Majesty the Empress and the child are both safe and sound," Consort Xi said, clasping her hands together.

Consort Yu also said softly, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty the Empress."

Although Ituma Shushu was taciturn and honest, she could still mimic others, so she also said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty the Empress."

Next came Consort Yu, Consort Ning, and the other concubines, who all said in unison, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty the Empress!"

Yongzheng waved his hand, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little. Indeed, as long as the Empress could give birth to the child safely, it would be a joyous occasion.

Next, the concubines wisely quieted down and continued to wait silently outside the delivery room.
