Perhaps it was because the child had indeed stayed in her womb long enough, or perhaps it was because Consort Yi had taken good care of her body, or perhaps it was because Jingrou's points had taken effect, but the delivery was actually quite smooth. At least in Consort Yi's opinion, she did not suffer too much and gave birth to the child smoothly. However, because she had exhausted a lot of energy, she fell into a deep sleep, but her mood was quite good.
This child is indeed worry-free. He hasn't caused his mother too much trouble. It's all thanks to the mother's care for him while she was in the womb. She didn't complain about him because he was so restless... After thinking these thoughts in a daze, Consort Yi fell asleep.
Not long after, when it was completely dark and Jingrou was feeling a little hungry, she heard a few wailing cries.
Of course, Jingrou didn't stand there either. A while after Consort Yi went in, Emperor Kangxi had chairs brought over for the two little ones so they could sit and wait.
But even when she was sitting, she couldn't sit still; her mind was always wandering to Consort Yi.
Upon hearing the noise, Jingrou immediately stood up from her chair, almost tripping, but was caught by her cousin.
Although Emperor Kangxi sat there calmly drinking tea, he was actually anxious. At this moment, he put down his teacup.
Although, based on his experience, childbirth is not something that can be done quickly and will definitely take some time, he was still worried about the woman inside, as she was someone he cherished.
Fortunately, the matter of meeting with his ministers has been resolved. Now that he has nothing important to attend to, he naturally has to stay here and keep watch. As for those who want to come and see Consort Yi, he has turned them away. Isn't this place chaotic enough already?
They were all dressed in their finest attire. Were they there to visit Consort Yi, or to gloat and vie for her favor?
Hearing the wailing cries, Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed.
The arrival of a new life in the palace was naturally a very gratifying thing for him. When the Eighth Prince was born, he was reluctant to go because of Consort Yu's status and the way she was favored, which made him feel a bit uncomfortable. However, he was quite enthusiastic about the newborn.
"Your Majesty, Consort Yi has given birth to a little prince!" After the midwife finished delivering the baby, she quickly cleaned the child and brought him out to report to Emperor Kangxi. It should be noted that not all concubines could earn the Emperor's favor of staying here.
Consort Yi has won the Emperor's favor!
"Reward him!" Emperor Kangxi laughed happily. Just as he was about to turn around to look at his fifth son, he found that his fifth son had already pulled his cousin to the door. "How is Mother now?"
"How is Auntie doing now?"
Seeing how worried his two children were about Consort Yi, Emperor Kangxi felt inexplicably uneasy.
Consort Yi's labor this time was uneventful, with hardly any shouting or screaming—the kind of noises meant to draw his attention and evoke his heartache. Only the anxious sounds of Momo and Wenbo could be heard, and it was precisely this quietness that made his heart ache even more. But at this moment, Emperor Kangxi was only concerned with his newborn son, making him seem less important than the two children!
How could that be?
Thinking of this, Emperor Kangxi quickly asked the nanny beside him, "How is Consort Yi's condition now? Is she able to drink any tonic?"
The old woman was pleased. Although she knew the Emperor doted on the Empress, seeing his care for her made her naturally happy for her.
Emperors are fickle; to receive even a single word of comfort from them is something that empresses who have toiled in the palace for years could only dream of.
"Your Majesty, Her Majesty's condition is alright now, but she has fallen asleep. Once Her Majesty wakes up, we will ask the imperial physician to give her some further treatment." These words not only answered the Emperor but also the two young masters who were standing to the side looking on expectantly.
It's good that my aunt is in good health.
Giving birth will inevitably take a toll on my health, so I need to go back to the shop with my points to see what I can exchange for my aunt. I can't let giving birth cause any health problems. Although she seems okay now, I need to take good care of her!
Jingrou only felt at ease after entering the delivery room and seeing her aunt. By then, she was starving, so Emperor Kangxi led the two of them to have a meal. In fact, Emperor Kangxi was also hungry, but he drank a few cups of tea.
Although Jingrou was somewhat afraid of Emperor Kangxi, after all, he was the supreme emperor, and she might easily lose her head if she accidentally said the wrong thing. Even according to her status, Emperor Kangxi would not easily cut off her head, but his aura was truly terrifying.
But when Jingrou thought about the endless stream of points, she really liked it. She could get so many points just by being patient for a little while. What could she not do with so many points?
A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan. She's someone who's destined for great things, especially after giving all her points to her aunt this time, which has made her completely poor again!
Although she was terrified inside, she smiled sweetly at Emperor Kangxi on the surface.
Emperor Kangxi was in a good mood because Consort Yi had given him another son, the Ninth Prince. At this time, he was very excited and did not forget to care about Consort Yi's condition.
Meanwhile, Liang Jiugong, who was extremely efficient at his work, had already sent all the rewards to Yikun Palace. The servants of Yikun Palace lined up again to receive the items, and then, under the instructions of the nanny, they put them into the storeroom.
