He Xue felt as if her stomach had shifted downwards, and at the same time, she felt the urge to go to the toilet.
How can you give birth in the toilet? No wonder I've heard that many people give birth in toilets; now I understand why.
The Imperial Noble Consort and Lady Tongjia stayed by He Xue's side the whole time, as waves of pain assaulted He Xue's consciousness.
Before the pain subsided, He Xue said to Madam Tongjia, "Mother, I want a chamber pot!"
After He Xue finished speaking, Tong Jia's expression froze for a moment, then she comforted He Xue, "This is the feeling of being about to give birth! Just follow the midwife's instructions!"
The contractions started again, and He Xue didn't have time to think about what Tong Jia had said. This time the pain was even more intense. He Xue kept taking deep breaths and pushing, taking deep breaths and pushing!
"Your Highness, push!" the midwife said from the side.
At this moment, He Xue didn't think about anything else. She just wanted to give birth to the child safely. Her water should have broken long ago. If the child wasn't born soon, it would be dangerous. She didn't care whether she needed to defecate or give birth.
"He Zhu, did you hear the baby crying? Has it been born?" The Crown Prince's legs went weak at the sound of He Xue's cries, and he leaned against a tree.
His mother died giving birth to him, and he was afraid that something like that would happen to Xue. Although he didn't want to think about those bad things, he couldn't help it.
He Zhu listened carefully, then shook his head and said, "This servant has no idea! Your Highness, please wait a little longer!"
The Crown Prince disregarded all rules and regulations and strode towards the delivery room. He didn't want He Xue to give birth; no child was as important as He Xue. If a son was required to become the Crown Prince, then he would give up the position. Let whoever wanted to be the Crown Prince be the Crown Prince; he only wanted He Xue.
When Consort Hui saw that the Crown Prince was about to enter the delivery room, she stood up and tried to stop him.
Consort Rong stopped Consort Hui and shook her head at her.
Although the rule is that men cannot enter the delivery room, rules are rigid, but people are flexible. Besides, this is Yuqing Palace, and the Crown Prince is the heir apparent. They can stop him from doing whatever he wants.
With them here today, they will not let the news of the Crown Prince entering the delivery room get out, no matter what.
They watched He Xue grow up, and like them, she was destined to be trapped in this palace for her entire life.
However, they felt that He Xue was luckier than them because she had a childhood friendship with the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince had been waiting for her despite the rumors outside, all in order to marry her.
Moreover, the Crown Prince was virtuous and had no other women around him. Even when He Xue became pregnant, he stayed by He Xue's side.
Although Emperor Kangxi sent two people to the Crown Prince, they heard that the Crown Prince simply abandoned them in the backyard and left them unattended.
They had once dreamed of having such a relationship, but they carried too much on their shoulders, making such a relationship a mere pipe dream.
Emperor Kangxi was deeply affectionate towards everyone in his harem. They once thought that even when he looked at a dog, his eyes were filled with affection. At the same time, Kangxi was also promiscuous.
Now, there is such a sincere affection in this palace. They want to protect it and prove to themselves that there is deep affection in the palace too. What they cannot have, they hope that Xue can have for them.
So they turned a blind eye to the Crown Prince going to the delivery room, and even if they wanted to, they couldn't!
When the prince rushed to the door of the delivery room, he heard a baby crying.
"Your Highness, she's given birth! She's given birth!" He Zhu shouted joyfully.
Consort Hui, Consort Rong, and Consort Yi also quickly came over.
Xia Bing ran out from inside, her mouth practically stretched to the back of her head in a wide grin, "Congratulations, Your Highness! The Crown Princess has safely given birth to a little prince!"
"Princess Consort, how is she?" the Crown Prince asked anxiously.
"The Crown Princess is fine, just a little tired. The Imperial Noble Consort said that she will tidy up for the Crown Princess later, and then you can go in!" Xia Bing said. The Imperial Noble Consort was worried that the Crown Prince would barge in, so she specifically instructed her to tell the Crown Prince this.
"Alright, I'm not in a hurry. I must take good care of the Crown Princess!" The Crown Prince's worry disappeared when he heard that He Xue was alright.
"Yes!" Xia Bing replied.
"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness!" He Zhu led the way, and everyone in the courtyard said in unison.
"Good, reward them! The entire Yuqing Palace will be rewarded with three months' worth of silver!" the Crown Prince said happily.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince! Thank you, Crown Princess!"
"Your Highness, you've gone to report the good news to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager!" Consort Rong said from the side.
"Yes, I almost forgot. He Zhu, go to the Qianqing Palace and tell Father Emperor that the Crown Prince's Consort has given birth to..." The Crown Prince was stunned. Had Xia Bing not told him what he and Xue had given birth to?
