Inside the bedroom, the queen's painful groans fell into the ears of the three people, but the imperial concubine was leisurely drinking tea and talking about the newcomer outside the door.
"Did the two sisters see it when they came in just now?"
Xia Jieyu nodded slightly, "I have seen them all, they are all beautiful."
The imperial concubine's gaze fell on Fu Qianyu, and she snorted softly, "Sister, your beauty is unmatched in the harem, but now with these newcomers, especially Concubine Ming, I'm afraid that sister will have to abdicate in favor of the virtuous."

When the door curtain was lifted again, a wet nurse came out, holding the newborn prince. The Queen Mother couldn't wait to hold him in her arms and said with a smile, "This child looks exactly like you, Your Majesty, when you were born."
Zhao Yuancheng's face was filled with joy. "The Queen has given birth to a prince, and I will reward her with a year's salary from Fengqi Palace."
