Chapter 65: Shen Meizhuang's Safe Delivery
Finally on this day, Shen Meizhuang waited for Shen's mother.
"Mei'er, are you having a good time here?"
Seeing her mother's worried expression, Chen Meizhuang smiled slightly: "Mother, my daughter is doing well. I have my sister Huan'er accompanying me in the palace. Concubine Hua also takes good care of me. There are also other Concubines Duan and Jing. They are all doing well."
When talking about the good sisters she made here, a smile flashed across Shen Meizhuang's face.
This was something she had never thought of before entering the palace. When she learned that Zhen Huan entered the palace with her, she already felt very lucky.
"As long as you are doing well, mother will be relieved. It is rare to receive their sincere treatment in the palace. You and Concubine Wan have had a close relationship since childhood. However, in the deep palace, no matter how much affection there is, it will sometimes be worn away when faced with the emperor's favor. You..."
"Mother."
Shen Meizhuang immediately interrupted what Shen's mother was going to say next.
She knew her mother's worries, but she knew more clearly the sisterhood between Zhen Huan and herself, which was something that nothing else could change. Now with Concubine Hua helping them from behind, she believed that things would only get better in the future.
"Huan'er is very good to me, really very good. Mother can rest assured."
Shen Meizhuang looked at Shen's mother with certainty.
Seeing that she was so convinced of the love between the sisters, Mother Shen didn't say anything more. After all, her greatest wish was that her daughter was doing well here.
Now that I know that her relationship with Zhen Huan is still the same as when they were children, I feel less worried.
"Your father and I just hope that you can live a good life in the palace. Your father is doing well in the officialdom, and everything at home is also fine. If you need any help from your family, please let us know in time."
Thinking that she didn't know when she would be able to see her daughter again after this time, Shen's mother couldn't help but shed tears.
Her daughter has been calm and strong-willed since she was young. She is always worried that her daughter is not living a happy life here and is unwilling to tell her family. As a mother, how can she not feel distressed?
"Mother, don't worry. I'm really fine here. As long as you are all well at home, I will feel at ease."
The mother and daughter had a lot of private conversation.
Peaceful days always pass quickly.
One day, Chen Meizhuang was having breakfast when he suddenly felt unwell.
"Caiyue, I, I seem to be giving birth!"
"Ah, my lady, I will help you lie back on the couch."
"Quick, someone, go get the doctor."
"Go and report to the Emperor."
"Please ask Suiyuxuan and Yikun Palace to pass on the message that Concubine Shen is about to give birth."
This was something Concubine Hua had instructed before. As long as Shen Meizhuang was about to give birth, she would definitely come in person. She was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would do something weird at this time.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in Cunju Hall, and all the servants became busy.
Zhen Huan and Nian Shilan rushed over as soon as they received the news from Cun Jutang.
"Sister Mei, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
This was the first time Zhen Huan faced such a thing, and she was always a little worried. Fortunately, Nian Shilan was there to accompany her.
“Sister Shen, don’t worry, we are here for everything, nothing will go wrong.”
Not long after the midwife walked into the house, Wen Shichu also arrived at Cun Ju Hall.
"Master Wen, you are finally here. I will leave Sister Mei to you."
When Zhen Huan saw Wen Shichu, she felt relieved. With him around, Sister Mei's safety was more guaranteed.
"Don't worry, my lord. I will do my best."
Originally, Zhen Huan and Nian Shilan were invited to the outer room by the midwife, but when they heard Shen Meizhuang's cries, they could no longer sit still.
"My lady, you can't go in!"
"My Lady, you are a precious person, you must not enter this place of childbirth."
Nian Shilan was already worried about Chen Meizhuang, and now that the servants were blocking her way, she was even more furious.
"It's ridiculous. I'm a woman too. How can I be so ungrateful to see a woman giving birth? Everyone, get out of my way."
Since her rebirth, Nian Shilan's temper has become much milder, but now she has completely returned to her former arrogant self, and she can't wait to drag out and beat to death anyone who stands in her way.
What ridiculous remarks! Her sister was experiencing the most important moment of her life in there, how could she stand by and watch?
Nian Shilan didn't waste any more words and directly pulled Zhen Huan into the house.
“Sister Shen, don’t be afraid, Sister Wan and I are here with you.”
"My Lady."
Chen Meizhuang looked at them with emotion, and her originally panicked heart suddenly felt very calm at this moment.
Not long after, Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Xin all rushed to Cunju Hall. Each of them brought a number of precious medicinal herbs from their own palaces in case they needed them at a critical moment.
"How is it now?"
Xin Chang asked worriedly. As someone who had experienced childbirth, she naturally knew that giving birth for a woman was like walking through the gates of hell. No one knew what would happen.
"Doctor Wen and the midwife are here. Everything is fine now."
When the Queen Mother learned that Chen Meizhuang was about to give birth, she was also very happy. She quickly asked Zhu Xi to come over and take a look and report back to her about the situation as soon as possible.
When the emperor and the empress arrived, they heard a baby crying in the house.
"It's born, it's born, Shen Guiren is born."
The midwife happily announced the good news to everyone.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Concubine Shen has given birth to a little princess."
"Okay, okay, okay, hahaha..."
"Rewards, everyone who delivers a baby today will receive a reward."
"Everyone in Jutang will be rewarded with three months' salary for their service to Noble Lady Shen."
When the emperor heard that Shen Meizhuang had given birth to a princess, he was very happy. No matter what, he finally had a child again.
For a moment, the entire Cun Ju Hall was surrounded by joy.
Zhen Huan and Nian Shilan were even more excited, especially Nian Shilan. She remembered that in her previous life, Shen Meizhuang suffered a lot because of her. This time, she finally saw her get her wish and have her own child.
"Your Majesty, Lady Shen is still a little weak, but fortunately, she is usually in good health and will recover after a few days of rest."
After Wen Shichu carefully examined Shen Meizhuang and confirmed that she was fine, he immediately went to report to the emperor.
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, Doctor Wen."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Concubine Shen is..."
"Su Peisheng, draft an edict. Consort Shen is beautiful and intelligent, virtuous and kind, and deeply favored by me. She is now promoted to Consort Hui. Announce this to the six palaces."
Before the Queen could finish her words, the Emperor issued an edict directly to Su Peisheng, without giving the Queen any time to stop it.
The Queen was temporarily relieved because Shen Meizhuang gave birth to a princess, but her face froze because of the Emperor's subsequent decree.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty.
"Congratulations, Madam Hui."
As Shen Meizhuang's good sisters, Nian Shilan and others were naturally happy for her.
"Ugh, ugh!"
Perhaps it was because she had just been in the room with Chen Meizhuang and smelled the fishy odor, but Zhen Huan suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
"Hanhuan, what's wrong with you?"
Zhen Huan's reaction was immediately noticed by the emperor, who looked at her worriedly.
"Doctor Wen, please come and see what's wrong with Concubine Wan."
