When the Empress arrived at Qingyun Yaxuan, Emperor Yongzheng had already arrived and was sitting in the main seat of the hall.
"Greetings to His Majesty," the Empress hurriedly greeted.
Emperor Yongzheng waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, there's no need for such formalities. Please sit down."
The Empress sat in the second seat, thinking to herself, "This is the first time since the Emperor ascended the throne that he has witnessed a concubine giving birth. However, since the Emperor ascended the throne, only Consort Shu and Consort Yu have ever conceived the Emperor's child."
Then the Empress thought to herself, "It's rare for the Emperor to pay such attention to this. It seems that Consort Shu is carrying two princes. There's no doubt about it."
Then the Empress turned around and greeted Xia Ju, who was standing to the side, and said gently, "When did your mistress go into labor? How is she in the delivery room now?"
"Your Majesty, Consort Shu went into labor at 1-3 PM. Her condition is alright now, and Consort Shu is about to have something to eat," Xia Ju replied after curtsying.
The Empress nodded and asked no further questions.
Not long after, Granny Quan and Granny Hua came in carrying food.
Granny Quan and Granny Hua quickly curtsied to the Emperor and Empress, saying, "Greetings to the Emperor and the Empress."
Yongzheng had just taken a sip of tea when he waved his hand, signaling Granny Quan and Granny Hua to rise, and said in a deep voice, "Get up."
"No need for formalities, go and serve Consort Shu quickly." The Empress knew that Granny Quan and Granny Hua were specially sent by the Emperor to serve Consort Shu, so she gestured to them not to stand on ceremony and to go in and serve Consort Shu immediately.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty the Empress." Granny Quan and Granny Hua quickly stood up and replied.
After Granny Quan and Granny Hua entered the delivery room.
Granny Quan bowed to Ituma Shushu and said, "Your Highness Consort Shu, the meal is ready. Would you like something to eat first?"
Ituma Shushu nodded and replied softly, "Yes, I was just about to eat something first and then recharge."
She then whispered to Granny Quan and Granny Hua, "Let me have a bowl of noodles first."
Dongmei quickly took the bowl and chopsticks from Granny Hua's hands and carefully fed Ituma Shushu.
Next, Ituma Shushu slowly ate her noodles, taking small bites at a time.
After eating for a while, she waved her hand and said to Dongmei, "Dongmei, I'm full. Take the rest away."
Dongmei nodded in agreement.
She had just finished eating her noodles when she broke out in a sweat; it was the height of summer.
Ituma Shushu gestured to Chuling and said, "Chuling, wipe my sweat."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chu Ling quickly stepped forward to wipe her sweat.
Then Ituma Shushu turned to Granny Quan and Granny Hua, who had just entered, and asked, "Granny Quan, Granny Hua, how is it outside now?"
Granny Quan bowed and said, "Your Highness Consort Shu, the Emperor and the Empress are waiting outside."
Granny Hua also said respectfully, "Yes, Consort Shu, the Emperor and the Empress attach great importance to your pregnancy."
Ituma Shushu was taken aback. She wasn't surprised that the Empress had arrived, but she hadn't expected that Emperor Yongzheng would also arrive so quickly.
At that moment, she suddenly felt waves of cramping pain in her stomach.
Ituma Shushu stopped thinking about it and started to scream in pain.
She had only screamed a few times when she suddenly felt the pain stop.
Her breath hitched, and she immediately shut her mouth.
Uh! In other words, she stopped her fake screaming.
At this moment, Chu Yin and Chu Ling had already rushed to Ituma Shushu's side with two midwives and several birthing nurses.
Dongmei, Granny Dong, Granny Hong, Granny Quan, and Granny Hua quickly stepped aside.
After examining Ituma Shushu, the two midwives cautiously told her, "Your Majesty, this is just the beginning; it's not time for delivery yet."
Ituma Shushu said softly, "Yes, I was in pain for a while just now, and then the pain stopped."
Soon, Ituma Shushu noticed that the two midwives seemed even more nervous than she was, so she quickly comforted them, saying, "You two don't need to be too nervous. This is my second time giving birth."
Then she smiled and said, "I also have a pair of twin brothers, who are now grown up. Don't worry, I'm just like my mother in that respect."
"As long as you use your usual delivery skills, I am confident that I can safely deliver twins. Not only will you not be implicated or blamed, but you will also receive generous rewards."
As expected, both midwives breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.
Then several midwives came forward to examine Ituma Shushu. After the examination, the midwives respectfully said to her, "Your Highness Shu, please relax. Your birth canal is not open yet."
Ituma Shushu nodded slightly and looked at Chu Yin, who was waiting to the side. Chu Yin quickly stepped forward to take her pulse carefully.
Chu Yin's fingers lightly rested on her slender wrist. After a moment, Chu Yin withdrew her fingers and said softly, "Your Majesty, please rest for a while."
Ituma Shushu nodded and said softly, "Then I will close my eyes and rest for a while."
In the main hall of Qingyun Yaxuan.
Not long after the Empress arrived, Consort Qi, Consort Xi, Consort Yu, Consort Ning, Consort Yu, Consort Yun, Consort Jing, and Consort Qi also arrived.
After Consort Qi, Consort Xi, Consort Yu, Consort Ning, Consort Yu, Consort Yun, Consort Jing, and Consort Qi arrived, they each paid their respects to Emperor Yongzheng and the Empress before taking their seats.
Finally, some distinguished guests arrived: Changzai, Yingye, and Gege.
After these noble ladies, attendants, concubines, and princesses paid their respects to Emperor Yongzheng, the Empress, Consort Qi, Consort Xi, Consort Yu, Consort Ning, Consort Yu, Consort Yun, Consort Jing, and Consort Qi, they could only stand respectfully.
