Mingxiu overheard the people below saying that the palace had been quite lively lately, with everyone dressed up in their finest attire.
Mingxiu smiled and said, "It's alright. Just have someone pass on the message that everyone should have a good time outside. It'll add some color to the palace and make things lively. The Emperor won't be going into the harem anytime soon, so there won't be any clashes. Everyone can have as much fun as they want."
"Yes," Yu Lan said, stepping back. "Your Majesty is truly killing me with your spirit."
Why are these people dressed up so extravagantly? It's all to attract the Emperor's attention, but the Empress just openly tells everyone that the Emperor won't be coming.
With that, no one had the mind to dress up anymore. Sure enough, after Mingxiu spread the word, the harem became much quieter, and even those who went out were fewer in number.
Mingxiu nodded in satisfaction after hearing this. She didn't think these people could do anything anyway, since half of the harem was under Mingxiu's surveillance and the other half was under Kangxi's surveillance, so there was no way anything could happen.
However, in order to completely sever any thoughts of fighting, Kangxi simply stopped entering the harem during this period, since the two of them usually met in the space.
With fewer masters in the palace, Mingxiu felt much more relaxed, as she could at least manage fewer things. Then, Mingxiu released another batch of palace maids who had been in the palace for a long time.
The palace became much quieter, and everyone was happy.
That night, Mingxiu was sleeping soundly with Kangxi in her arms, completely unaware of the chaos and turmoil outside. In the middle of the night, the Crown Princess was about to give birth, and Mingxiu, who was sleeping comfortably, suddenly heard urgent sounds from outside.
Startled, Mingxiu sat up instantly. Kangxi, standing beside her, asked displeasedly, "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Your Majesty, news has come from Yuqing Palace that the Crown Princess went into labor tonight," Liang Jiugong hurriedly reported from outside.
If it weren't for the fact that it concerned His Highness the Crown Prince, Liang Jiugong would definitely not have called out to Emperor Kangxi at this time.
There was nothing he could do; the Emperor hadn't been to the inner palace for a long time and didn't even have anyone to serve him. Now that he had finally managed to enter the inner palace, he was disturbed by him.
Mingxiu and Kangxi were startled and quickly sat up. After having someone come in to freshen up, they headed towards Yuqing Palace.
When the two arrived, they saw Yinreng waiting anxiously outside. He quickly went over to him when he saw them come in.
"Father, Mother, you've finally arrived! Why aren't you coming out yet? You've been inside for so long!" Yinreng said anxiously.
Kangxi rolled his eyes at him: "What's the rush? Childbirth is a difficult thing for women, there's still time to wait. Just wait outside."
"It's alright, don't worry. The Crown Princess has always been in good health. Your father is right, childbirth is a difficult thing, so just wait patiently," Mingxiu comforted Yinreng from the side.
After hearing what the two said, Yinreng could only wait patiently outside.
The Crown Princess started the pregnancy in the middle of the night, and it wasn't until the first rays of sunlight appeared in the sky at dawn that the sound of crying finally came from inside.
A moment later, the person who had been serving the Crown Princess came out to announce the good news: "Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince! Congratulations, Your Majesty the Emperor and Your Highness the Imperial Noble Consort! The Crown Princess has given birth to a boy, and both mother and child are safe and sound."
"Good, good, good, excellent! Reward them all, everyone in Yuqing Palace will be rewarded!" Kangxi happily sat up immediately.
That's wonderful! He has a legitimate grandson of the emperor.
Yinreng was overjoyed, but still concerned about the Crown Princess's health, he quickly went to inquire about her condition.
Soon someone brought out the baby. Kangxi excitedly went over and took the child. Yinreng asked and learned that the Crown Princess was alright, she had just fallen asleep. He relaxed and prepared to see his child.
They saw that the child had already been taken away by the Emperor, and Mingxiu was standing beside her watching, both of their eyes slightly red.
Yinreng felt a lump in his throat as he watched this scene. Was he born looking like this? Although his birth certificate hadn't been changed, he had long regarded Mingxiu as his own mother. From a young age, Mingxiu had always been incredibly devoted to him, always afraid that he would suffer any hardship. That's why he grew up so healthy. Now, he was finally going to be a father himself.
Yinreng felt a mix of joy and heaviness. He remembered most of his childhood memories. He was incredibly mischievous as a child, and it was always his mother and father who tolerated him. But could he really be a good father? Could he be as good as his father and mother?
Mingxiu looked at the baby in Kangxi's arms. The baby's skin was wrinkled and red. Although this was Yinreng's child, Mingxiu still frowned. The newborn baby was so ugly. Mingxiu looked at the baby and then at the person next to her. She kept telling her that the baby was beautiful and looked like so-and-so, but she really couldn't see it.
Looking up, Mingxiu saw Yinreng standing there dumbfounded, staring at them. She waved her hand and said, "Baocheng, come here quickly and look at your child. This is your first child."
Yinreng came to his senses and walked over. Looking at the child in Kangxi's arms, he was a little at a loss. He wanted to hold the child but didn't know how. When Kangxi saw Yinreng coming over, although he was a little reluctant, he still let Yinreng hold the child.
Who knew: "As soon as Yinreng took the child, he felt his hands were wet, and the child started crying loudly." Yinreng tilted his head back as if he were holding a bomb, and looked at Kangxi pitifully and said aggrievedly: "Father, he peed, what should I do?"
Emperor Kangxi looked at his foolish son and didn't want to say anything, but the way he was holding the child made the child look very uncomfortable, so he had no choice but to let the wet nurse take the child away.
The wet nurse had been waiting nearby for a long time, but she hadn't dared to go forward. Now she should hurry over and take the child away.
Yinreng watched helplessly as the child was taken away.
Mingxiu burst out laughing when she saw this scene: "Hahahaha."
Kangxi and Yinreng both looked over in confusion. Mingxiu, clutching her stomach, leaned against Kangxi and said, "It's nothing. I just remembered, I just remembered, haha. When Baocheng was little, he slept with the Emperor and wet the bed. He insisted that it was the Emperor who wet the bed, hahaha. Now his own child has wet him."
Mingxiu couldn't stop laughing when she thought about what happened back then.
When Mingxiu mentioned it, Kangxi and Yinreng remembered it too. Kangxi's lips curled up, clearly finding it amusing.
Yinreng's face immediately turned red, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
Oh my god, how could you say something so embarrassing? Your mother is really something.
But I couldn't help but think back to what happened back then, and I felt both embarrassed and amused, wondering why I had done that.
