Chapter 202 Xiuyi
Zizhu responded: "Master, you say."
"Tell the emperor that I am unfilial and cannot go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to kowtow to the ancestors today. Please do not blame me. I know that the emperor and the empress are busy today and cannot take care of me. I have everything ready here and you don't have to worry about anything. I am at least a third-rank concubine and can protect myself. Please just worry about the business. I will also apologize to the two Empress Dowagers. It is my fault for disturbing the elders during the New Year. It will not be too late to apologize after I give birth to the child."
Zizhu responded: "Master, don't worry, I will go right away."
"Don't be anxious, just say it clearly." Shen Chuliu said.
Zizhu responded: "Yes, I know, you are fine, I will be back soon."
Shen Chuliu agreed with a smile. She was not afraid. The more benefits there were at this time, the more benefits there were. No one had the time to interfere.
As soon as Zizhu left, the delivery maids were in place. Shen Chuliu was very calm at this moment. She asked someone to bring some food and ate some first.
I’m also afraid that I won’t have the strength to give birth to a child soon.
The delivery nanny checked and said that the imperial physician would not be able to come for a while today.
"Don't worry, Madam Jing Xiuyuan. The fetus is stable. It's not the right time yet, but I think it won't be too difficult." The midwives are all experienced.
This pregnancy will definitely not be as torturous as that of Miss Ying.
Shen Chuliu responded, listened to the maids' words, and walked around the room after eating.
When Zizhu went to Zhengyang Palace, everyone was not present yet and the event had not started yet.
She prayed for the fourth day of the New Year, went inside, knelt down, and paid her respects politely.
Of course she was afraid. Be it the emperor or the empress, there were now so many people from the royal family around. How could she not be nervous?
After taking a deep breath, he repeated Shen Chuliu's words word for word.
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. Wasn't it such a coincidence that Jing Xiuyuan gave birth at this time?
If this wasn't the case, Concubine Feng should have asked if he was pretending, right?
"This is really..." Qi Yixiu was caught off guard.
"Your Majesty, can you at least ask the imperial physician to take care of him? It is not convenient for us to go, but we can arrange for someone to take care of him." said the Queen.
"Well, send a few capable people." Empress Dowager Li was happy: "Jing Xiuyuan is sensible. I think she is blessed. There will be no problems with this pregnancy. Tell her that I am waiting to hear good news."
Zizhu thanked the Emperor, Empress and Queen Mother and went out again.
With the imperial physician around, she felt half relieved.
After all, it was the first child, and no matter how healthy Shen Chuliu was, it wouldn't be that fast.
She walked back and forth like this for the whole morning without her cervix opening.
Drink some water or have a snack every once in a while.
It wasn't until after lunch that the attack occurred.
I don’t know if it’s because I was too nervous or I waited too long.
When the time of birth really came, Shen Chuliu felt numb.
She said she was about to give birth, and the midwives were busy serving her, with everything set up and making a grand gesture.
As a result, a quarter of an hour later, the baby was already on the ground. As the baby cried loudly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "Congratulations, Queen Jing Xiuyuan, it's a prince! Both mother and child are safe."
The maids were overjoyed.
Shen Chuliu was also happy. She leaned over to look at the red and wrinkled little guy and smiled.
Shen Chuliu really didn't feel any pain and didn't need to take ginseng soup.
Nanny Zhang hurriedly asked someone to bring a bowl of medicine for replenishing qi and blood. Zi Rui asked Doctor Zhao to check it and then fed it to Shen Chuliu.
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "I'm fine. I don't have much strength left. Zizhu, you should go and tell me the good news."
After saying that, he closed his eyes.
Zi Rui wiped her tears and hated the Shen family in her heart.
What kind of person is my daughter! Now that she has given birth, she dare not ask her parents to come. She has given birth to a child, but she still has to worry about these things.
Zi Rui wiped her tears and said, "Serve the master first. The maids will take good care of our Sixth Prince."
The delivery maids responded.
Zi Rui continued, "The queen is asleep now, so I will decide on the reward. The four delivery maids will each be rewarded with fifty taels of silver. The emperor will give more rewards later. Madam Zhang has worked hard these days, so she will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver."
"Thank you for your trouble, Doctor Zhao. It's also one hundred taels."
"Now that it is the New Year, everyone will have another reward. Everyone in Cuiyunxuan will receive a reward. I will be the one who makes the decision, and I will give you one month's salary."
"Thank you, your Highness. Thank you, young lady." Everyone was delighted.
This year, thanks to this happy event, they made a fortune.
The emperor still has to give rewards! Everyone's faces were beaming with joy, and Zi Rui and a few maids carefully looked after Shen Chuliu and the Sixth Prince.
The Sixth Prince cried a few times after he was born and then fell asleep.
Zizhu went to Zhengyang Palace just when the dinner was about to start. When she heard that she was there to announce the good news, Layue brought her in.
Zizhu knelt there and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress, and the two Empress Dowagers, I am here to announce the good news. It is past 3:00 pm, and the sixth prince was born. He weighs five pounds and two ounces, and both mother and child are safe."
"Good!" Qi Yixiu smiled: "Hahaha, the Sixth Prince is here at a good time."
"I congratulate the emperor! It is said that boys born in the Shen period are smart. I think the Sixth Prince is like that."
The princes of the royal family and the ministers below all congratulated him.
The Shen family is naturally among them.
Foreign officials did not enter the palace in the morning, so they could not go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, but they still had to come in. Just a little later.
It was only after the Shen family came in that they realized that Jing Xiuyuan had launched the attack today.
Qu couldn't describe her feelings, but now that she knew she had given birth to the sixth prince, she was naturally happy.
"Pass on my decree. Jing Xiuyuan has been promoted to Xiuyi for her contribution in giving birth to a child. The Sixth Prince has given her the name Qi Yan. Today, all the servants will be rewarded. Jing Xiuyuan will be rewarded with a pair of jade ruyi, twelve sets of various jewelry head ornaments, one hundred taels of gold, and one thousand taels of silver."
After hearing this, everyone hurriedly congratulated the emperor.
It's so obvious what the women in the harem are thinking.
Although Li Chongrong also gave such a reward at that time, it was not so much.
Now that Shen Chuliu has given birth to a child at this time, she naturally receives more rewards.
Following closely behind, the two Empress Dowagers and the Queen were all rewarded generously.
When it comes to Concubine Feng, she has to give more reward even if she has to pinch her nose.
Concubine Kangde also received rewards, and Concubine Jin also received rewards.
Song Zhaoyi cannot fall behind either. Although Concubine Yi did not come, she will probably be rewarded once she finds out.
Going further, it can only be said to be gift-giving.
When Shen Chuliu woke up, it was already late at night.
Zi Rui and Zi Zhu were guarding her.
"master?"
"Well, where is the child?" Shen Chuliu woke up and felt much more comfortable.
"The Sixth Prince is next door, and he is being watched by wet nurses. The wet nurses are the ones you have seen. Zhemei is also watching him." Zizhu said.
Zi Rui helped Shen Chuliu up, solved the problem first, and simply washed her hands.
"Master, are you hungry? The servants have kept the food warm." Zi Rui said.
Shen Chuliu was naturally hungry, so he ate a small bowl of shredded chicken and meat porridge, drank a small bowl of chicken soup, and ate some vegetables.
"Congratulations, master. You are now Jing Xiuyi." Zi Rui said happily.
