The duration of childbirth for pregnant women varies.
Generally, the first pregnancy is the slowest, and then it gradually speeds up.
Except in special circumstances, such as difficult childbirth or premature birth, both of which are life-or-death situations, a woman in such circumstances may have already stepped into the gates of hell.
Jin Xiangling's delivery was premature, within the normal delivery period, but not yet considered a natural birth.
The overall situation is relatively good, but only in a relative sense.
"Ah... Ahhhhh..."
A shrill female voice occasionally reached her ears, causing Chen Yuwei to furrow her brows and glance frequently at the closed delivery room door not far away.
The concubines who came over had nothing to do, and each of them wore an expressionless face, making it impossible to discern their true feelings.
Xia He held her master's wrist, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.
To be honest, Xia He did not agree with Chen Yuwei coming out at this time.
It was the tense time of early pregnancy, and Qixiang Palace had always been rather unsettled. Everyone was on edge after the visit.
However, since her master had his own plans, Xia He could only pray that nothing else would go wrong at Qixiang Palace, considering the news she had just learned before entering.
"Don't be nervous, Consort Jia is intelligent, nothing will happen."
If anything happens, it should be someone else. For Jin Xiangling to be able to cause trouble on her own turf is simply unacceptable.
As for herself, she made thorough preparations before daring to come, so it would be quite difficult for her to make a mistake.
Xia He nodded in response, but in practice, she preferred to win over her master to her side.
Even though Xia He's shoulders are not broad and her figure is not strong and upright.
Time passed slowly, and the sounds from the delivery room rose and fell, never quiet.
But the only thing that is certain is that, so far, there has been no good news coming out of the delivery room.
Tsk
Eventually, some people couldn't wait any longer and started asking Fucha Jinyi and the others if they could leave first.
They haven't used a single drop of water or a single grain of rice since they arrived this morning.
They wasted most of the afternoon at Qixiang Palace. Jin Xiangling is nobody to them, so why should she suffer here?
There was more than one dissatisfied person; most people harbored some complaints.
However, out of consideration for face and the inherent imperial authority of Empress Fucha Jin Yi, they dared not speak.
Now that someone has spoken up, the others simply stopped holding back.
They took turns chiming in, as if they were about to keep talking forever.
Chen Yuwei watched coldly, her feet slowly retreating from their fixed position.
With so many people around, Chen Yuwei worried that someone might try to take advantage of the situation and drag her into it.
"Okay, stop arguing."
Fucha Jinyi waved her hand and looked at everyone calmly, "Those who can't wait, go to the main hall first, and wait for everything else."
What kind of thing is it to leave at this time? Besides, with the person gone, no matter what Fucha Jinyi does, suspicion and doubt will only increase rapidly.
Fucha Jinyi was unwilling to take on these responsibilities, so he ignored everyone's complaints and simply moved the people to another location, leaving them in the same place.
Everyone: ...
"Your Majesty, we will go to the main hall to await good news."
Gao Hongshan finished speaking first, then turned and left decisively.
The others were taken aback at first, but then followed closely behind, none of them willing to fall behind.
Chen Yuwei also let Xia He support her as she followed behind the group without letting go.
In the blink of an eye, only a handful of people, including Fucha Jinyi and Chunpin, remained in the Qixiang Palace courtyard.
Fucha Jinyi did not leave because of her status; she needed to consider the overall situation.
Consort Chun did not leave because she had recently become very close to the Empress and did not want to leave the Empress to enjoy herself alone.
As for the rest of the people, they were all low-ranking concubines, and neither side could afford to offend them. So, it was always better to be careful in the harem.
"Your Majesty, you haven't had a proper rest since you arrived. Why don't I take your place?"
Before Consort Chun could finish speaking, Fucha Jinyi quickly reached out to interrupt her.
"No, this concerns the safety of the imperial heir. I can wait a little longer."
Fucha Jinyi spoke somewhat awkwardly, but then softened her tone, indicating that Consort Chun did not need to accompany her outside the palace.
Consort Chun: ...That won't do. I was originally planning to buy more benefits to win her favor. If she leaves, wouldn't all my efforts be wasted?
After praising Fucha Jin Yi's style of doing things with a smile, Consort Chun did not leave, citing that she was not in any physical condition.
April weather should be warming up, but it can still get chilly if you stay outside for too long.
Although Fucha Jinyi and Chunpin had a good relationship, they were not friends who could talk about anything.
Most of the time, it was Consort Chun who was willing to swallow her pride and fawn over Empress Fucha.
This time, Consort Chun adopted the same strategy, but Fucha Jin Yi was preoccupied with Jin Xiangling in the delivery room and was not as talkative as before, which made Consort Chun somewhat annoyed and depressed.
Turning her back and pursing her lips, Consort Chun composed herself and prayed that Consort Jia's progress would be slower, and that she would be injured during childbirth so that she would not be able to conceive again in the future. Otherwise, how could she vent her anger at being coerced into sending the medicine?
snort!
The formula was supposed to be his trump card, but now that it's been exposed, who knows how many people will get their hands on it.
Thinking of Yongzhang, who had already passed away, and then thinking of herself, who became pregnant soon after drinking the drink.
Consort Chun gritted her teeth and decided that this time she would do anything to emulate Consort De during the reign of Emperor Shengzu.
If the late emperor had not been raised by Consort Tong, whose status was comparable to that of a legitimate son, how could he have broken through the encirclement and ascended the throne smoothly?
Now that the Empress has no children, this is a good opportunity for her.
Simply having the Empress take the child away and raise him for a few years would be a rare and wonderful thing for the mother and child.
