Summer is slowly approaching. Hafeng'a is already two months old. Qingyan carries him to the pavilion to rest every day. Yingenjueluo is about to give birth and walks around the pavilion every day, hoping to get in good physical shape so that she can have more time during childbirth.
"Little darling, you've brought Hafeng'a out again?" Yin Genjueluo was under tight protection. Yin had placed two-thirds of his personal guards around her, and if anyone dared to approach, they would be constantly checked.
"Sister-in-law, when did the midwives say the baby was born?" Qingyan had prepared a thousand-year-old ginseng for use during the delivery of Yingenjueluo.
“The ginseng you had your fourth brother send when Songkelierha was giving birth is still not all used up,” said Ingenjueluo Shi helplessly.
"Sister-in-law, this ginseng is newly acquired. It's the best for you to use during childbirth!" Qingyan was too young to use it at all, and her postpartum recovery was extremely fast.
Yin Genjue Luo shook her head helplessly. If she refused, Qing Yan would start nagging again.
"Fine, I'll keep it!" Yin Genjue Luo Shi finally gave in.
Qingyan held Hafeng in her arms, and the little guy cried out "Ah ah ah!" Yin Genjueluo took off her nail guards and gently patted the swaddling clothes.
"Oh, little darling, I'm going back now!" Yin Genjue Luo felt something was wrong with her stomach.
"Sister-in-law, are you about to give birth?" Qingyan noticed that Yin Genjue Luo's face had lost all color and realized what was going on.
Yin Genjue Luo pursed her lips; she was really about to give birth.
"Sulan, hurry up and bring my sedan chair over," Qingyan stood up and quickly ordered.
Yin Genjue Luo bit her lip, forcing a smile onto her face.
Qingyan watched as Yingenjueluo was led into a sedan chair, and then she handed Hafeng'a over to Suzhu.
“Go back and take care of the young prince,” Qingyan leaned down and kissed his forehead. “Suhua, go and inform the Prince Zhi and the Fourth Prince.”
After giving the order, Qingyan walked quickly towards the courtyard, and asked a maid to call Jueluo Shi. With her mother there, Qingyan felt at ease.
Upon arriving at the courtyard of Lady Yin Genjue Luo, Qingyan found the servants somewhat disorganized. Of Lady Yin Genjue Luo's two personal maids, one had gone into the delivery room, while the other stood at the door, relaying orders one by one.
"Fourth Princess Consort, you've arrived!" The two nannies were a little flustered when they saw Qingyan coming over. The worry had finally been lifted. Yingenjueluo had gone for a stroll and was about to give birth when she returned.
"Granny, I'll go check on my sister-in-law first!" Qingyan nodded, not interfering with the nanny's orders, and went directly to the delivery room.
She left all the servants outside the delivery room; having too many people around would actually be bad for Lady Yin Genjue Luo.
"Little darling, how did you get in here?!" Madam Yin Genjue Luo was being helped around the room by the midwife and nanny. "Hurry up and go out. If Madam Jue Luo comes, please invite her in, okay?"
“Okay!” Qingyan understood that Yingenjueluo Shi didn’t want Qingyan to see too much about childbirth because she was young.
Qingyan went outside and saw the old woman standing there, directing the maids to bring hot water inside.
"Fourth Princess Consort, please sit here and wait for the good news from the master." The nanny knew that Lady Yin Genjue Luo treated Qingyan like a younger sister, so she tried her best to keep her away from the delivery room.
She had only been out of confinement for a few months when going into the delivery room was still not ideal.
"Little Darling, has the Grand Madam gone in?" Jue Luo Shi hurriedly came in from the doorway and asked as soon as she saw Qing Yan sitting there.
"Yes, Mother, my sister-in-law said she wants you to come in!" Qingyan looked at Jueluo with a hint of worry, concerned that Jueluo might be afraid to take responsibility.
"Don't worry, mother and child will definitely be safe!" Jue Luo didn't care. If she didn't help, Consort Hui in the palace would also have a problem with her.
Who could blame her, since she thought she was the only woman in the naval port who could hold the fort?
Jue Luo entered the delivery room, and Qing Yan sat on a chair, staring blankly at the door, preparing to wait for Yin and Yin's arrival.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Yin rushed in from the courtyard gate. Seeing Qingyan sitting there and hearing the cries from inside the delivery room, he paced anxiously in circles.
"Brother, sister-in-law went into labor in the garden," Qingyan hinted to Yin, implying that no one had harmed Lady Yingenjueluo. "Mother was also in the delivery room."
"Little darling, thank you!" Yin felt relieved to hear that Jue Luo Shi had come to oversee things.
Previously, Lady Yin Genjueluo was worried that Lady Jueluo would take the risk and not enter the delivery room.
"Brother, what are you saying? Mother also said that Da Sou will definitely be safe and sound, both mother and child." Qingyan quickly reassured Yin.
Yin sat down in Qingyan's seat and listened to what Qingyan was saying, which put his mind at ease.
As evening approached, the cry of a baby echoed through the sky, relieving everyone's anxiety.
Jue Luo came out of the delivery room with a smile on her face.
"Prince Zhi is overjoyed! His wife has given birth to a baby prince, and both mother and child are safe and sound!" Lady Jue Luo laughed.
Yin was relieved; he finally had a little prince, and Consort Hui could no longer make things difficult for Lady Yingenjueluo.
"Very well, very well. Each of the servants who serve me personally will receive 50 taels of silver, and the rest of the servants in the courtyard will receive 30 taels. Go tell the kitchen at the military port that they will add dishes today to celebrate the arrival of a new prince!" Yin was in a very good mood and gave the order directly.
"Congratulations, Master!" The maids present all congratulated Yin.
"Su Peisheng, bring over the Tenth Prince and the three Lords Ulanara. Let's have a good drink together!" Yinzhen was really happy.
“!” Su Peisheng quickly agreed after seeing Yin’s hint.
"Sister-in-law, thank you, brother!" Yin heard the nanny talk about the childbirth, saying that the Princess Consort of the Prince Zhi used ginseng from Qingyan to make soup before giving birth, which is why she was able to deliver the child so smoothly.
"Brother, you're being too polite. This is just a useful gift." Qingyan saw Yin bow and quickly moved aside.
Yin stood beside Qingyan: "Brother, if we were on the same page, you would have done the same!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin nodded, knowing in his heart that if he had such good medicinal herbs, he would definitely keep his share before giving the rest to the others.
"Brother, I'll take Qingyan to the flower hall to wait. You quickly carry your sister-in-law back to her room!" Yin quickly stood up and left the flower hall with Qingyan.
Qingyan walked along the corridor and finally relaxed completely.
"Fourth Prince, this is great! Both children were born in the naval port!" Qingyan thought to herself. When Hafeng'a's birthday came, Emperor Kangxi would definitely bestow names upon them. Yiken'e was a pair of twins, so he bestowed names on them ahead of time.
"Yes, Father Emperor would be happy if he knew!" Yin received news from the capital that Kangxi, along with Consort Tong and others, had begun their southern tour and should arrive in two months. "In two months, Father Emperor should be back to inspect the naval port!"
