Although these nobles, concubines, ladies-in-waiting, and princesses were all overjoyed and eager to make their move because they could see Yongzheng at Qingyun Yaxuan!
However, those who survive in the harem are not truly foolish, so everyone stands properly now and dares not say a word.
After Consort Yu took her seat, she couldn't help but ask first, "Your Majesty, how is Consort Shu doing now?"
The Empress raised an eyebrow and said softly, "Consort Shu was born at 1-3 PM."
Consort Yu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and continued, "It's still early; only a quarter of an hour has passed."
Then, with concern in her eyes, Consort Xi said, "You'll have to work hard next, Consort Shu."
Consort Qi sighed softly, clasped her hands together, and said, "Alas, childbirth is like walking through the gates of hell. I hope Consort Shu will have a smooth delivery."
At the same time, Consort Yu said with a worried expression, "Sister Consort Shu is very fortunate, she will definitely have a smooth journey."
Consort Jing echoed, saying softly, "Heaven will surely bless Consort Shu."
Consort Ning also said with concern, "Sister Shu will definitely have a smooth journey."
"Yes, Consort Shu will definitely have a smooth journey." Consort Yun said softly, her brows furrowed, looking worried.
"I believe that God will surely protect Consort Shu." Consort Qi frowned, her tone filled with anxiety and worry.
The concubines were talking in hushed tones.
Yongzheng remained silent, his brows furrowed, his eyes dark and deep as night.
As time went by, the concubines gradually fell silent.
Emperor Yongzheng, dressed in a bright yellow casual robe, sat on the main seat, appearing calm and dignified, as solid as a mountain, exuding an aura of authority without anger.
Yongzheng's well-defined index finger tapped lightly on the rim of the white jade cup, his gaze sharp and profound, as if he could see through everything in the world.
Just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside, and then everyone saw the Seventh Prince Hongzhao walking in with small steps, followed by two palace maids and two eunuchs.
The two palace maids and two eunuchs all looked anxious.
The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, ignored the palace maids and eunuchs behind him and continued to walk forward with small, unsteady steps.
As for why neither the two palace maids nor the two eunuchs could stop the Seventh Prince Hongzhao.
Although the Seventh Prince Hongzhao is only a little over two years old, under Shushu's subtle training, the clever Seventh Prince has already shown the demeanor of a little master. The palace maids and eunuchs usually do not dare to interfere with the Seventh Prince's actions and can only coax him gently.
When Xia Ju saw the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, her expression changed. She didn't care about anything else and immediately ran forward, curtsied, and said, "Greetings to the Seventh Prince."
When the Seventh Prince Hongzhao saw Xia Ju, his face was full of questions. "Mother?" "Mother?"
Just as Xia Ju was about to reply, a calm and authoritative voice came from behind her: "Hongzhao."
Upon hearing the familiar voice, the Seventh Prince Hongzhao immediately looked up and saw that it was indeed Emperor Yongzheng.
At the same time, the Seventh Prince Hongzhao also saw many strangers.
The Seventh Prince Hongzhao's eyes were like grapes, round and big, with a curious glint in them.
But the Seventh Prince Hongzhao did not stop, and continued walking towards Yongzheng, calling out, "Father." "Father." "Father."
The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, walked up to Yongzheng, hugged Yongzheng's knees with both hands, and called out, "Father, peace be with you." "Father, peace be with you." "Father, think about it." "Father, think about it."
Emperor Yongzheng understood the meaning behind the Seventh Prince's words, and his expression softened.
As for why the Seventh Prince was so at ease in front of Yongzheng, and why he stopped obsessing over finding Ituma Shushu after seeing Yongzheng, this was undoubtedly a habit that Ituma Shushu had instilled in him!
The Seventh Prince Hongzhao had met the Empress before, and Ituma Shushu often mentioned her to him, so the Seventh Prince Hongzhao bowed to the Empress like a little adult and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
The Empress was somewhat taken aback, but immediately said softly, "Seventh Prince, there's no need for such formalities."
The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, was playing with the Nine Linked Rings in front of Emperor Yongzheng. After a while, he gradually became sleepy.
Yongzheng quietly instructed the palace maids and eunuchs serving him, "Take the Seventh Prince back to rest."
The palace maids and eunuchs responded softly, "Yes, Your Majesty."
As night deepened, moonlight streamed through the exquisite window lattices, illuminating the magnificent bedchamber.
Inside Ituma Shushu's maternity ward, the room was brightly lit, warm, and peaceful.
A faint scent of medicine and incense filled the air, and a soft groan broke the stillness of the night.
Chu Yin sat on the edge of the bed, her hand tightly holding Ituma Shushu's hand, her eyes full of concern and anxiety.
Ituma Shushu bit her lower lip tightly, seemingly enduring immense pain.
Actually, she was thinking that now was her time to perform.
However, having learned from her previous experience, Ituma Shushu was much more composed this time.
At this moment, a midwife came over, carefully examined Ituma Shushu's condition, and then respectfully said to her, "Your Majesty, the baby is in the correct position now, and you should prepare to give birth."
Ituma Shushu nodded to the midwife, indicating that she understood.
The two midwives then got busy, instructing the others to prepare hot water, towels, and other items.
As time went on, Ituma Shushu's groans grew louder, and her forehead was covered in sweat.
Her face was covered in sweat, and her breathing became more and more rapid, as if each breath required all her strength.
