Shu Chengfeng rushed there immediately upon hearing the news.
Lan Xiangyi was also there. When Shu Chengfeng arrived, Consort Xiangxian was already there, and the concubines from various places also arrived one after another.
"Consort Xiangxian and Consort Jia, please stay. The rest of you may go back." Shu Chengfeng waved his hand and went into the delivery room.
It's not time for her to give birth yet.
Yan Nangui was being helped to walk. When she saw him, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty has arrived. Are you going to stay with me until I give birth?"
"I will protect you, so don't be nervous."
"I wasn't nervous at first, but what you said has made me a little nervous," Yan Nangui said with a smile.
"You all serve Consort Chen Hui well. If there is even the slightest mistake, I will not listen to any excuses and will have you all beaten to death." Shu Chengfeng looked at the midwives.
"Yes, we servants will certainly take good care of Consort Chenhui and her child to ensure their safety." The midwives' hearts pounded; who dared to speak of this matter? Since ancient times, childbirth has been a life-or-death situation for women.
Shu Chengfeng offered a few more words of reassurance before coming outside.
"Is the imperial physician waiting?"
Imperial Physician Huang stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I know your health best. The baby is in the correct position and Your Majesty is in good spirits, so it shouldn't be too difficult."
Shu Chengfeng nodded: "Let's go to the side hall for tea. Get some rest, and hopefully we won't need you."
Physician Huang agreed and went.
Consort Xiangxian said, "Your Majesty need not worry too much. Consort Chenhui has been pregnant very steadily, so she should feel more at ease."
“Yes, my sister always listens to the old nanny and goes out every day, so it should be good,” Consort Jia also said.
Shu Chengfeng nodded, but his mind was filled with thoughts of Consort Jing.
If she hadn't damaged her health and almost died while giving birth to the Fourth Princess and the Fifth Prince, she wouldn't be in such a state now after her miscarriage.
Yan Nangui was also someone who had suffered a miscarriage and almost lost her life because of it.
Thinking about this made him a little unhappy.
"Yunji, send someone to Princess Jiahe's residence to deliver the imperial decree: the prince consort has disrespected the royal family and shall be flogged fifty times, to be carried out immediately."
Yun Ji paused for a moment before replying.
He wondered what had suddenly happened to His Majesty.
However, without asking any questions, he sent someone out to deliver the imperial decree.
When the imperial decree reached Princess Jiahe, she was completely bewildered.
Meng Junxian gritted his teeth and had no choice but to accept the imperial decree, allowing his own family members to carry out the execution.
He was already barely hanging on, and now he's been beaten again...
But an imperial edict is an imperial edict; who dares to disobey it?
In the inner palace, Consort Xiangxian and Consort Jia were also surprised to hear this.
Consort Jia was rather naive and didn't think too deeply about it. But Consort Xiang had.
Thinking to himself, His Majesty's current favor towards Consort Chenhui is indeed different.
By midnight, Yan Nangui no longer seemed to be giving birth.
However, the nanny said it was normal.
So Shu Chengfeng told Consort Xiangxian and Consort Jia to go back and come back to take care of things in the morning.
He stayed, but of course he couldn't stay in the delivery room, so he stayed in the main hall.
Yan Nangui ordered that food be prepared for the several nannies, and after they ate their fill, they had to take turns waiting.
Nothing much happened in the latter half of the night, and everything was peaceful.
In the morning, Shu Chengfeng did not attend the morning court session. He ate his meal here after getting up and continued to wait.
At 1:15 AM, Yan Nangui suddenly started experiencing pain again and felt a downward pressure.
The midwives also took great care of her.
The increasingly intense pain made Yan Nangui realize that she was really going into labor, and she couldn't help but cry out a few times.
Although Shu Chengfeng remained calm, he was also nervous.
Consort Xiang and the others came again, and this time Shu Chengfeng did not tell them to leave.
So all the concubines in the harem waited.
The Empress also wanted to come, but Shu Chengfeng didn't invite her.
Today is already the first day of the tenth lunar month, and the weather is already getting cold. Charcoal braziers have been placed in the delivery room.
At this moment, Yan Nangui was covered in sweat.
Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, at the hour of Chen (7-9 AM), when the sun was shining brightly, they finally heard the joyful voices of the midwives and a loud cry of a newborn.
Before long, the midwife came out to announce the good news: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Seventh Princess has been born safely, and both mother and daughter are safe."
"Good, good, good! Rewards, generous rewards!" Shu Chengfeng was overjoyed and not disappointed that it was a princess.
"Take good care of them, and don't allow the slightest mistake." He walked to the window: "How is Tang'er?"
"Yes, I'm still alive." Yan Nangui's voice sounded weak.
"Don't talk nonsense. You should rest well. I'm here," Shu Chengfeng said with a smile.
There was another "hmm" from inside.
We agreed early on that he wouldn't be allowed to see her after she gave birth; it would be better if he saw her a day later.
Everyone outside offered their congratulations, and Shu Chengfeng bestowed gifts upon everyone in the palace.
This made everyone extremely envious, but at least she was born a princess, so it was all for naught. This was what everyone was thinking.
After Yan Nangui finished cleaning up, he lay there, watching the little girl that the nanny brought over.
It was bright red, wrinkled, and generally unattractive.
Lan Xiangyi smiled and said, "The little princess is in excellent health."
"My aunt secretly thinks it would be good to have a princess. The harem is really too terrible. If you have a princess, you will have hope, and you won't have to fight so fiercely."
Yan Nangui naturally nodded and smiled.
But in my heart, I completely disagreed.
It's only natural for those who have sons to fight for their sons.
Having a princess means you can't afford to relax.
In this world, she has always had few family ties, but children are her bloodline.
With Shu Chengfeng around, this child is naturally respected. But what if Shu Chengfeng grows old and dies one day?
