Inside the delivery room, Mingxiu felt like she was living a life worse than death, the pain was unbearable.
My mind was starting to wander when suddenly a transparent page appeared in front of me. All I could see was a strange-looking old woman dressed in green, with the system thoughtfully adding the text: "This old woman smells of musk, especially on her fingernails."
Mingxiu instantly snapped out of her daze and looked at Lüzhu, indicating that the old woman in green was acting strangely.
Green Bamboo's mind was already focused on her mistress. When she saw Mingxiu's expression suddenly change, she didn't know how her mistress had figured it out, but she still quickly stepped forward and pulled the old woman in green away.
The woman who had been groping in the face saw that her plan had been exposed. Although she didn't know how it had been exposed, she knew clearly that if she didn't succeed, the people behind her would definitely not let her off the hook.
Struggling as she moved toward Mingxiu, everyone could see that something was wrong and immediately let her go.
Green Bamboo grabbed her tightly with both hands and dragged her outside. Yu Lan, who was watching from the side, also quickly helped Green Bamboo drag the old woman out.
Once outside, Kangxi was already worried about Mingxiu inside when he suddenly saw two palace maids dragging a nanny out.
Upon seeing Kangxi, Green Bamboo hurriedly reported, "Your Majesty, this nanny is not very honest. Her Highness noticed something amiss and dragged me out."
Kangxi's eyes turned cold for a moment. He hadn't expected that someone would still try to sabotage things at this time, but he was in no mood to deal with her. He waved for someone to take her away and keep an eye on her.
He asked anxiously, "How is Consort Ming now?"
Green Bamboo didn't know how to reply, so she just said everything was fine, then turned and went inside.
The crowd behind them continued to wait outside, but when a nanny was dragged out, it caused a variety of reactions among the people behind them.
Some people looked grim, while others breathed a sigh of relief.
Kangxi coldly noted down the expressions on these people's faces, deciding to wait until Mingxiu had given birth before making any decisions.
Fortunately, the child seemed to care for his mother and didn't struggle for too long. When the sun gradually climbed overhead and there was almost no shade left in the open space outside, everyone heard a cry; the child had been born.
Before long, someone came out carrying a child and happily announced to the Emperor, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Empress has given birth to a little princess!"
Kangxi felt relaxed and looked at the child closely. His rosy, wrinkled little face didn't reveal much, but Kangxi just felt happy.
He laughed heartily and waved his hand, giving everyone in Mingxiu Palace an extra six months' salary. The servants in Yonghe Palace were all overjoyed and offered their congratulations.
The concubines behind her breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Mingxiu had given birth to a princess. After all, it was already done, and it was better to have a princess than a prince.
So they all composed themselves and stepped forward to offer their congratulations with smiles.
Emperor Kangxi said nothing, only glanced at the child, and then had someone take the child inside.
Looking at the green bamboo, he asked, "How is Consort Ming?"
Green Bamboo, holding the child, replied with a smile, "Your Majesty, the Empress is fine. She's just tired and has fallen asleep."
When Kangxi heard that Mingxiu was alright, he nodded and let them all go inside. He then turned to the concubines behind him and said, "Alright, you may all go back now."
After saying that, he turned and left. He still had to deal with that old woman. He wanted to see who was so bold as to dare to harm his child.
