Ituma Shushu turned her head and saw that the newborn Eighth Prince and Ninth Prince were wrinkled and red, with white vernix caseosa covering their faces. They looked a bit ugly, like little old men.
However, she was not surprised, because before she traveled through time, Ituma Shushu had seen some pictures of newborn babies online. Most of them were wrinkled and red like the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince now, and some even had white vernix caseosa on their faces.
Ituma Shushu thought to herself that when the Seventh Prince was born, he was a little better looking than the Eighth and Ninth Princes. His skin wasn't as wrinkled, and his face was pink and tender, though still rosy, but without the white vernix caseosa covering his face.
So she thought to herself, the Seventh Prince must have been much heavier than the Eighth and Ninth Princes when he was born.
Ituma Shushu still remembers the Seventh Prince when he was just born. He had tiny hands and feet, and was chubby and looked like a little ball. She couldn't help but want to touch him and kiss him.
Ituma Shushu thought to herself, "After all, the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince are twins, so it's normal that they are both a little lighter than the Seventh Prince."
Then, she thought to herself that in two months, when the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince had grown up a bit, they would definitely have small hands and feet like the Seventh Prince, chubby and with pink and tender faces, looking like little balls of fluff. At that time, she would definitely love them to her heart's content.
Ituma Shushu looked intently again. The Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince did look quite alike. In any case, she couldn't tell which one was the Eighth Prince and which one was the Ninth Prince.
However, she had already prepared two swaddling clothes of different colors: the dark blue swaddling clothes contained the Eighth Prince, and the blue swaddling clothes contained the Ninth Prince.
Even so, Ituma Shushu was still a little worried, so she put aside the various thoughts that had been popping into her mind and gently instructed, "You all must take good care of the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince, and make sure you don't mix them up."
"Yes, Your Highness," Dong Mama, Quan Mama, Hong Mama, and Hua Mama hurriedly bowed and replied.
At this moment, Ituma Shushu remembered that Yongzheng and the others were still waiting for news from her.
So she instructed, "The Emperor and Empress must be getting impatient outside. Now take the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince out to announce the good news to the Emperor and Empress."
"Yes, Your Highness," the maids replied hastily.
Thus, Granny Quan and Granny Hua carefully led the way, while Granny Dong and Granny Hong cautiously carried the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince, following behind Granny Quan and Granny Hua as they walked out of the room.
Back to the time when Ituma Shushu gave birth to the Eighth and Ninth Princes.
The night was deep, and the palace was brightly lit, reflecting a tense and solemn atmosphere. A special tension seemed to permeate the air.
Time seemed to stretch on endlessly at that moment, and everyone's hearts rose and fell with each painful groan.
Finally, after a long wait, a loud cry came from inside the palace.
Yongzheng suddenly stood up and strode to the door of the delivery room.
At this moment, Luo Ye and Zhi Qiu, who were guarding outside the palace, saw Yongzheng suddenly walk up in front of them and quickly knelt down to pay their respects, saying, "Greetings to Your Majesty."
Emperor Yongzheng waved his hand, signaling them to stand up.
Fallen Leaves and Autumn Know-It-All dared not say much. They carefully got up and stood aside, bowing.
At this time, the Empress and other concubines also arrived at the door of the delivery room one after another.
Upon hearing the sounds around him, Yongzheng's already slightly furrowed brows furrowed even more deeply.
"Those below the rank of Consort, just go back and wait. You don't need to wait at Qingyun Yaxuan anymore." Yongzheng's voice was solemn and cold, without a trace of emotion.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Although they were extremely unwilling, none of the noble ladies, concubines, or princesses below the rank of concubine dared to show it. They all responded, curtsied, and withdrew.
No sooner had they left than a loud cry shattered the palace's tranquility.
The Empress's brow relaxed, and she said softly to Emperor Yongzheng, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. It seems that Consort Shu has given birth safely."
Emperor Yongzheng relaxed his furrowed brows and nodded gently.
At this moment, the Empress, Consort Qi, Consort Xi, Consort Yu, Consort Ning, Consort Yu, Consort Yun, Consort Jing, and Consort Qi all had different feelings: some were resentful, some were jealous, some were wary, some were envious, and some were relieved...
Just as Yongzheng was anxiously waiting, Quan Mama and Hua Mama carefully opened the palace gate and came out first.
When Granny Quan and Granny Hua looked up and saw Emperor Yongzheng and the Empress, they immediately knelt down and bowed, saying, "Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor and to Her Majesty the Empress."
The Empress hurriedly waved her hand and asked, "How is the child? How is Consort Shu?"
Granny Quan and Granny Hua hurriedly and respectfully said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty the Empress! Consort Shu has given birth to two princes, and both mother and children are safe and sound."
As soon as Granny Quan and Granny Hua finished speaking, everyone saw Granny Dong carefully carrying a dark blue swaddled baby and Granny Hong carefully carrying a blue swaddled baby as they stepped out of the palace gate.
Granny Dong stepped forward first, bowed and said, "This servant congratulates Your Majesty and Your Majesty the Empress. This is the Eighth Prince, weighing five catties and two taels."
Granny Hong stepped forward and bowed, saying, "This servant congratulates Your Majesty and Your Majesty the Empress. This is the Ninth Prince, weighing five catties and two taels."
When Yongzheng saw the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince, he was overjoyed and said with a slight smile, "There will be rewards, both of them will be richly rewarded."
Granny Dong and the others bowed in unison and said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Then Yongzheng urged the Imperial Physician Sun, who was waiting nearby, and the Imperial Physician Wang, who was taking care of Ituma Shushu's pregnancy, and said loudly, "Imperial Physician Sun, Imperial Physician Wang, quickly take the pulses of the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince."
Sun, the head physician of the Imperial Medical Academy, and Wang, the physician who was taking care of Ituma Shushu's pregnancy, quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty."
The Imperial Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, first carefully took the pulse of the Eighth Prince, while the Imperial Physician Wang, who was in charge of ensuring the health of Ituma Shushu's pregnancy, first carefully took the pulse of the Ninth Prince.
Then, Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, carefully took the pulse of the Ninth Prince, while Physician Wang, who was treating Ituma Shushu for pregnancy, carefully took the pulse of the Eighth Prince.
Afterwards, Imperial Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, and Imperial Physician Wang, who was in charge of ensuring Ituma Shushu's pregnancy, had a quiet discussion for a while.
Finally, the Imperial Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, bowed to Emperor Yongzheng and said, "Your Majesty, both the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince are in good health. Congratulations, Your Majesty."
The Empress raised an eyebrow and was the first to speak up: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Consort Qi, Consort Xi, Consort Yu, Consort Ning, Consort Yu, Consort Yun, Consort Jing, and Consort Qi also curtsied and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
The servants also kowtowed and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
