Chapter 23: Delicate Palace Maid VS Cold Emperor 23

"Your Majesty! Concubine Yue is about to give birth!! Please come over!"

When Shen Qi heard this, his pupils dilated. He immediately dropped the pen in his hand and ran out. At this moment, he didn't care about the emperor's face at all.

After the Queen Mother heard the news, she immediately stood up, her expression was full of anxiety, and her palms were even sweating. "Hurry up, hurry up, all of you, go! Where's the midwife?! Has she gone? Send someone to get the imperial physician! I'll go right away! There are also tonic soups! Send them all over!"

Su Zhiruan was lying on the bed at this time. Except for the initial pain, the pain gradually disappeared, but she could feel the feeling that was about to burst out.

The pain disappeared, which should be the benefit given to her by the system's novice gift package. She breathed a sigh of relief. The pain did not disappear completely, but it became much lower. She was very steady at this time and signaled the old lady to bring some food.

The nanny also looked nervous, but when she saw Su Zhiruan's calm expression, she couldn't help but praise him, "This is the first time I've seen a master so calm during childbirth. You should eat more and conserve your energy."

"Ruan Ruan!!" Shen Qi had already arrived outside the door. He immediately wanted to rush in to see what was going on, but was quickly stopped by the old woman at the door.

"Your Majesty, please don't be anxious. Concubine Yue is giving birth. Please wait a moment." The nanny saw that Shen Qi's forehead was covered with sweat and his eyes were red. His hands were full of blue veins and his eyes were full of worry.

The empress dowager who followed closely behind also wanted to rush in to see, but was stopped. The old nanny did not expect that the emperor and the empress dowager, who had the highest status in the entire dynasty and the entire country, would love Concubine Yue and the unborn child so much.

"Can't I go in and take a look too?" The Queen Mother did not expect that she would be stopped as well. There was deep worry in her eyes. After knowing that she could not go in, she did something that others would not even dare to think about.

The queen mother, the most honorable woman in the entire country, lifted the hem of her clothes and knelt directly on the bluestone slabs, with her hands clasped together, kneeling deeply.

"Empress Dowager!!"

“Mother!!”

Neither the servants nor Shen Qi expected that the Queen Mother would kneel down directly.

"Back then, when mother gave birth to you, it was a difficult labor. I almost died, and I walked out of the gates of hell," the queen mother looked at Shen Qi, and after saying this, she knelt down and bowed, "I am a woman, and I know best what it is like for a woman to give birth. It is full of pain and torture, and she may even die. But for the sake of the continuation of life, I am willing to kneel down to pray that mother and child are safe!"

Shen Qi was extremely nervous, but after hearing what the Queen Mother said, he became even more nervous and trembled. Then, without saying a word, he lifted up his bright yellow dragon robe and knelt on the ground.

Pray that mother and child are safe.

Pray that his Ruan Ruan and the children are safe and stay with him.

Shen Qi kowtowed three times.

* Su Zhiruan, she had the system's golden finger, not only did she not feel any pain, but at the moment the child was born, she felt as if a burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

It was a feeling of relief, and she could feel her stomach deflate immediately.

"It's born! Madam, it's born! It's a little prince!"

"Congratulations, Madam! Congratulations, Madam!"

The child was slapped a few times and then started crying.

The old nanny, the midwife and others cheered and immediately went out to announce the good news, while the rest of the people took care of the follow-up matters.

"I am here to announce the good news to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor! Concubine Yue has given birth to a little prince! Both mother and child are safe!"

"Okay! Okay!"

"Where's Ruanruan? How is she?!" Shen Qi leaned over to see how Su Zhiruan was doing.

"Your Majesty is fine. Your Majesty, please wait a moment and let me wash you first."

"Someone come!" Shen Qi was so happy that he called Xiao Fuzi over, and even his voice was filled with joy. "Pass it on, all those who delivered the little prince today will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver, those who served Concubine Yue will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver each, and those in the harem will be rewarded with 5 taels each! Amnesty for the whole country! Bring the imperial edict, and enthrone the prince as the crown prince!"

Shen Qi was so happy that he lost himself in joy, and even his eyebrows showed his happiness. He lavishly awarded rewards, wanting to let the whole world know his joy of having become the crown prince, the prince.

Su Zhiruan fell into a deep sleep. She didn't feel any discomfort. In order to make it more realistic, the system gave her some disguises, such as beads of sweat on her forehead and some changes that were easy to be noticed.

Shen Qi was so happy that he wrote several imperial edicts, either granting amnesty to the whole country or rewarding his servants. Finally, he wrote a paragraph on the imperial edict with great care.

"In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Concubine Yue, Su Zhiruan, gave birth to the Crown Prince. She is gentle, virtuous, and graceful, and has won my heart. I confer the title of Concubine Yue, grant her the Golden Seal of the Concubine, list her in the Imperial Temple, and grant her the power to assist the six palaces."

This imperial decree spread to the harem as quickly as snowflakes, and soon it spread everywhere, and basically everyone knew about it.

The most angry one was the imperial concubine.

She smashed everything she could at hand. Her face was gloomy at the moment, and she even had a murderous look on her face. It was a gloomy look that made one feel uncomfortable at first glance.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Not only the servants who served her, but even the Concubine Shu who usually flattered her lowered her head and did not even dare to speak to her.

The original imperial concubine might have been the highest position in the palace, but now there is a Su Zhiruan who has children. She was the Yue Concubine before and is now the Yue Imperial Concubine.

She has a title, a son, the emperor's favor, and the empress dowager's protection. How could she not be jealous of such a person?

"Your Highness... don't be anxious. Since Su Zhiruan is now in confinement, it means that there are no women around His Majesty. If you take advantage of this opportunity and have a child, then what does it have to do with Su Zhiruan!" Concubine Shu racked her brains to come up with this reason.

"Get lost! I have been annoyed with that bitch for a long time! A lowly palace maid! I am the eldest daughter of an aristocratic family! She! A bitch! How can she be worthy of being an heir to the throne!" The Imperial Concubine was almost going crazy at this time, and even the Shu Concubine was frightened by the madness on her face.

If this happened at night, it would be an evil ghost!

The imperial concubine really couldn't accept the fact that Su Zhiruan gave birth to a child smoothly and the child became the crown prince.

She thought about her previous life and her future life, and she cried and laughed at the same time, looking horrible as if she had some mental problem.

Even Concubine Shu didn't dare to say anything.

* After the two elders of the Su family learned that their daughter had given birth, they were extremely anxious and began to pray at home. Su's mother even lived in the temple a few months ago, wanting to pray that Su Zhiruan could give birth smoothly. After learning that she had given birth to a prince, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mother and child are safe.

Four simple words, but the best words.
