Listening to the rain, "Lady Wuya, let me give you another piece of advice. The Imperial Noble Consort means that you can leave Yonghe Palace only when you have neatly copied these 100 times of palace rules."
The implied meaning is clear: even if the confinement period is only two months, the confinement will continue until the palace rules are copied.
Uya replied, "This servant understands, and thanks you for your advice, young lady."
Most of the women in the Uya clan are gentle and considerate, but as a princess from a bondservant family, she grew up in luxury.
However, because of the rule that palace maids could not read, they did not put much effort into this aspect (literacy).
Her handwriting wasn't very good, and the Imperial Noble Consort meant that if she didn't copy it neatly, she would have to copy it again.
When Uya said this, she felt a surge of fighting spirit, but it quickly faded. After the Emperor thoroughly investigated the bondservant families, he issued an order that the women of these families should not hold too high a rank.
Her family members were either killed or exiled, and she survived only because she gave birth to the Fourth Prince.
How many women in the imperial harem were concubines from bondservant families, yet their families mysteriously disappeared?
She knew why they disappeared; these women probably ended up in mass graves anyway.
Thinking about this, Wuya Gas's fighting spirit waned a bit, but the future was uncertain.
After Tingyu finished explaining Wanwan's meaning, she left, as staying here any longer would not yield any results.
Thus, in history, in this future, Consort De, Kangxi's favorite concubine, was confined to her quarters.
Time passed by, and no one knew what Uya was thinking, but on this night, Yichang welcomed her first child.
When the news of Consort Yi's impending childbirth spread, almost every prominent figure in the harem went to attend.
Yikun Palace
Ahh ...
"pain……".
On this day, Consort Yi received unprecedented attention, from the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Imperial Noble Consort.
Even the lowest-ranking concubines waited at the gates of Yikun Palace for the birth of this child.
But children can't be born immediately. First pregnancies usually take longer, and even the Emperor and Empress Dowager can wait that long.
However, the Empress Dowager is getting on in years, and waiting for a long time might be too strenuous for her. As the Imperial Noble Consort, I naturally had to offer some advice.
Wanwan said, “Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why don’t you go into the side hall first and rest for a while? First births always take longer.”
Wanwan thought, "It's going to be several hours."
Although the Empress Dowager cared a lot about the child, she didn't care much about the concubine.
So, following Wanwan's advice, she decided to go to the side hall. Sitting there for several hours would probably make her body stiff.
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang said, "Qiqige, Xuan Ye, why don't we go to the side hall first? The Imperial Noble Consort is right. If we wait for several hours, it might be too tiring. Besides, Xuan Ye has to attend the morning court the next day."
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang would not approve a memorial if she could not approve it, but she could not ignore it if it was presented at court.
At that moment, Qiqige couldn't hear what her aunt was saying; all she could think about was that she could finally raise a child.
So even if it takes a long time, she's willing to wait.
The Empress Dowager said, "Aunt, you should go and rest first. I want to wait."
Seeing Qiqige's state, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang stopped trying to persuade her. After decades in the deep palace, she had no child to keep her company.
How will we spend the next few decades?
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang said to Xuan Ye, "You have to attend court tomorrow, so you should get some rest."
Kangxi glanced at Wanwan and said, "Grandmother, I should wait. My mother is waiting for this child, and it's not appropriate for me to leave."
But the truth is: bullshit, he was just waiting with Wanwan.
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang saw that neither of them wanted to rest, so she stopped interfering.
Their unwillingness to rest is their own business; after all, her body can't wait for a child who's always around for several hours.
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang said, "That's fine then. You all just wait here. I'll go back to Cining Palace first."
Originally, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang wanted to wait for the child's birth with Emperor Kangxi and his niece, but after listening to the Imperial Noble Consort's suggestion, she thought it would be fine to rest and wait in the side hall.
However, since neither of them wanted to go, and it wouldn't be interesting for her to rest alone in a side shop, she decided to go straight back to Cining Palace and come back tomorrow morning.
Of course, all of this is under the condition that he has not yet given birth. If the child is born, someone will inform her of the good news, and she will not need to go in person.
Emperor Kangxi said, "What the Imperial Noble Consort says is true. Your Majesty, you should go back and rest. After the child is born, I will definitely send someone to tell you."
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang responded with an "Mmm".
Then Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang waited in Yikun Palace for a short while before leaving.
As the person with the highest status in the harem, and someone who was constantly giving birth, she naturally didn't have to wait.
It's just that this child is going to be adopted by her niece, so they're giving Yikun Palace some face.
However, after waiting for two hours, Kangxi couldn't stay awake any longer. He had to go to sleep because he had to attend the morning court session the next day. He couldn't very well yawn during the morning court session, so he entrusted the matter to Wanwan, the person in charge of the inner palace.
Besides, judging from the shouting inside the house, whether the baby will be born tonight is still a question. Let's talk about it tomorrow morning; it's already late at night.
Yi often says "Mmm... Ahhh..."
Yi Chang, the head palace maid, said: "My lady, push harder, hold on!"
The midwife said, "My lady, push harder."
The midwife was extremely anxious, seeing that the baby had been in labor for several hours but the head was still nowhere to be seen.
First births are inherently difficult, and during her pregnancy, because the Empress Dowager wanted to adopt the child, all sorts of good things had to be sent to Yikun Palace, so the child grew a little too big.
Although the baby is in the correct position, delivery is not easy.
Kangxi listened to the commotion inside and saw no sign of anything happening, so he decided that tomorrow's morning court session was more important.
However, Kangxi was too embarrassed to leave directly; someone had to give him a way out.
As the head of the harem, Wanwan could choose to come or not when a minor concubine gave birth. However, this child was special, and besides, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor were all present, so she couldn't very well not come.
Seeing the weariness on Kangxi's face, they naturally had to give him a way out.
However, the Empress Dowager cannot be forgotten.
Wanwan said, “Your Majesty, it seems the Emperor won’t be able to give birth tonight. Why don’t you all go back to the palace to rest first? I will send someone to inform you after the child is born.”
Thank you so much for the donations, my darlings! (?′ω`?)
