Chapter 222 Production
Wen Li'er stayed in the Bixi Palace every day, and the palace servants did not bother her with the affairs of other concubines in the harem.
Those people received the emperor's order and were smart enough not to come to her to show their presence. Wen Li'er's life was free and easy.
On the eve of August 15th, the entire palace was preparing for tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
Nanny Qin directed the palace servants to decorate the Bixi Palace beautifully.
Lanterns are hung on the eaves, and the pear trees in the yard are hung with colorful ribbons, which look particularly gorgeous and colorful under the Mid-Autumn moonlight.
There were several types of mooncakes on the table, two in a stack, and Wen Li'er was invited to taste them.
She would try to see which ones tasted better, and would make a batch the next day, pack them and send them to other palaces. She would also ask someone to take some out of the palace and give them to her family.
Each type of mooncake is made extremely delicately, with exquisite patterns such as the Jade Rabbit pounding medicine, Chang'e flying to the moon, and fairies dancing with discs.
Wen Li'er took a small bite of each flavor.
She likes the egg yolk ones best, the meat ones are also good, and there are also various flower and fruit flavors.
She slowly ate one mooncake with egg yolk and one with fresh meat, then said to Nanny Qin, "Make more mooncakes of these two flavors tomorrow, and make less of the other flavors."
Nanny Qin agreed and wanted to help her wash up and rest.
As a result, as soon as Wen Li'er stood up, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach.
She paused and felt it carefully.
After a while, she stammered, "Mammy... I think I'm about to give birth..."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Qin was not at all flustered.
Miss Ziyun said that the master is about to give birth in the next few days, so she asked them to pay more attention.
Everything needed for production has been prepared in advance.
The midwives were the same ones used when the master gave birth to the eldest prince.
She supported Wen Li'er and walked towards the delivery room, and asked someone to call the midwife over.
He also sent people to inform the emperor, empress, grand empress dowager and queen mother.
Wen Li'er had experience giving birth once, so she was not as scared this time as she was the first time.
Her belly was much bigger than when she was pregnant with her first child. When she walked to the delivery room holding her belly, she felt her legs were heavy and it was a bit difficult for her to walk.
Seeing this, Qiuying and Huazhan looked at each other.
Qiuying picked up Wen Lier by the waist and strode towards the delivery room.
After all, she is a martial artist and has amazing arm strength.
It was the first time that Wen Li'er was hugged by a woman like this, and her face turned a little red with embarrassment.
But her increasingly painful stomach made her unable to care about these things.
After being placed on the delivery bed by Qiuying, she held her belly and groaned.
When Yan Shixu learned the news of Wen Li'er's childbirth, he ordered Zhang Sicheng to immediately invite Nangong Ziyun into the palace, while he hurried to the Bixi Palace.
When he arrived, Wen Li'er's suppressed cries of pain were already heard in the delivery room.
He wanted to go in and take a look, but was stopped by Nanny Qin.
She said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has just specifically instructed this old servant to ask Your Majesty not to enter the delivery room. The delivery room is a filthy place, and the Imperial Concubine is worried that it will bring bad luck to you. She would be uneasy if you went in."
When Yan Shicui heard this, he remembered that when Li'er gave birth to Xiaoxiao, he went into the delivery room.
But she was frightened by this for a long time.
Yan Shixu finally stopped outside the delivery room.
He paced anxiously, his hands clenched into fists, beads of sweat already appearing on his forehead.
Because of the previous incident of Concubine Duan exchanging her child, when Wen Li'er gave birth this time, Yan Shixu ordered that all basins brought in and out should not be covered with cloth.
The delivery room was surrounded by his people, and not even a fly could fly out.
Nangong Ziyun also arrived quickly. She saluted Yan Shi, but he waved his hand to stop her.
"Go in quickly and check on Li'er. Make sure she and the baby are safe."
"Yes." Nangong Ziyun took the hot water brought by a palace maid and went straight into the delivery room.
In the delivery room, the midwives were busy but orderly.
Wen Li'er clutched the bed sheet tightly, sweat pouring down her body, and her nails turned white.
Seeing Nangong Ziyun coming in, Wen Li'er tried to open her eyes wide and smile at her, but she didn't know how ugly her smile was.
The female doctor carefully wiped the sweat from her forehead with a clean silk handkerchief, and Nangong Ziyun also stepped forward to take her pulse.
Everything was as usual, and she felt a little relieved. She curled the corners of her mouth towards Wen Li'er and deliberately lowered her voice a few degrees.
"Don't be afraid, Your Majesty. You are fine, and the baby will be out soon. Just follow the midwife's instructions. Don't worry, I am here with you, and the Emperor is also with you outside."
Wen Li'er nodded hard and said hoarsely, "Okay, I'll listen to my sister-in-law."
Her calling her sister-in-law made Nangong Ziyun blush.
Wen Zhiyan went to Su's house to see her whenever he had time in the past few months. He didn't know how he became familiar with Su Muyang. They treated each other like brothers all day long, and going to Su's house was like going to his own home.
As the saying goes, a strong woman is afraid of being pestered by a man. She is used to being pestered by a man, and now if she doesn't see him one day, she feels a little strange.
Her aunt wrote to her, saying many good things about Wen Zhiyan and saying that the Wen family was a good family.
If she marries him, she will enjoy a happy life.
Her adoptive mother Qi Yao said the same thing.
Everyone was optimistic about Wen Zhiyan, and she herself didn't seem to dislike him, so she had already tacitly accepted the matter in her heart.
But when she heard Wen Li'er calling her sister-in-law, she was still a little uncomfortable for a moment.
Wen Li'er also admired herself. Even at this time, she still had other thoughts.
But when she saw Sister Ziyun's appearance, she immediately felt that her brother had a chance!
After she gives birth to the baby, she will write a letter back to her brother immediately.
Thinking of this, she felt as if endless strength was flowing into her body.
She followed the midwife's gestures and gritted her teeth, pushing hard.
"Ugh..." She groaned in pain due to excessive force.
The next moment, she clearly felt a child flowing out of her body.
"Wow……"
The child's powerful cry almost blew the roof of the hall off.
One of the midwives cleaned the child and immediately brought it to Wen Lier.
"Congratulations, Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine. Congratulations, Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine, it's a little prince."
Wen Li'er felt a little regretful. Why wasn't she a little princess?
But she also likes her own child, her son.
She was about to smile at the child when she felt her stomach still aching.
From the foot of the bed came the midwife's suddenly raised voice of surprise.
"Your Highness, please try harder, there's one more!"
Wen Lier: "..."
She shuddered, a little bit unable to believe it.
Another one? That's a surprise.
Nangong Ziyun was not too surprised.
When she took Wen Li'er's pulse before, she vaguely felt that her pulse was that of twins, but she couldn't be completely sure.
That’s why I didn’t say it in advance.
