Chapter 120 Chapter 120 End of the text
This time the delivery was still surprisingly smooth. Xiaoman was born in the morning, but this child was born in the evening.
He made some movement after everyone had fallen asleep. Ji Chen got up quickly, and the palace maids in Chengqian Palace were also making preparations in an orderly manner.
Shen Qing had nothing to worry about. Soon after being sent to the delivery room, she successfully gave birth to a prince.
Xiaoman is the eldest princess, and this little guy is the fourth prince.
As soon as the empress dowager arrived at Chengqian Palace, before she started to worry, a palace servant who brought the good news stuffed a prince into her arms.
The Queen Mother had not yet retracted her nervous expression when she encountered this scene. She looked particularly strange. She looked at the prince carefully and said, "You, you came here without making any noise."
"The Imperial Concubine is so blessed. She has princesses and princes, and they all love her so much."
Not to mention that there is an emperor following him closely, and he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't come to Chengqian Palace for a day.
The Queen Mother had never seen a woman's pregnancy go as smoothly as Shen Qing's. Not only did she not have much reaction during pregnancy, she didn't suffer much during her first pregnancy, and her second pregnancy went even more smoothly.
She gave birth before she even arrived. Now only Concubine Lan, Concubine Chu and Concubine Chen arrived at Chengqian Palace in time. Perhaps they heard the news and rushed over without much preparation.
The Queen Mother sighed, the Emperor's first princess was born to the Imperial Noble Consort, and the youngest prince was also born to her. If she were the Emperor, wouldn't she treat her only princess and youngest prince like pearls and jades?
The Queen Mother held the Fourth Prince for a long time before asking, "Where's the Emperor?"
Bai Tao smiled and said, "The queen is crying out in pain, and the emperor is accompanying her."
He said he was accompanying her, but in fact he was coaxing her carefully.
"You should accompany me. The Royal Concubine has made great contributions. I..."
The empress dowager wanted to reward Shen Qing, but suddenly found that there was nothing to reward her with. Shen Qing was already an imperial concubine, and the treasures she had in her hands might be even more abundant than hers after being fed by the emperor over the years.
However, Shen Tanhua, who had just become an editor in the Hanlin Academy, was rumored to be the younger brother of the Imperial Noble Consort. Her father also passed the exam, but with a lower ranking, and was sent out of Beijing to become a small county magistrate.
The Empress Dowager sent people to investigate and found out that it was most likely true. Moreover, the Shen family and the Imperial Concubine had two younger sisters.
The Imperial Noble Consort's mother cannot escape an imperial decree, and the Emperor may reward her before her, but she can reward the Imperial Noble Consort's sister.
Female relatives favored by the Queen Mother would be treated with respect when attending banquets.
On the other side, Shen Qing enjoyed Ji Chen wiping her sweat. She was now sticky all over, and June and July were hot. She had just given birth and couldn't stand the cold...
"I don't want to give birth to a child in the summer anymore."
Ji Chen held her hand and said, "No more, never again. One prince is enough for me, not to mention that you gave birth to such a lovely princess for me."
He felt so sincerely, and he intended to make Shen Qing's son the crown prince. Even though the future would be difficult and it was not easy to raise a child, let alone a child from the royal family, he still made this decision.
When Ji Xuan was three years old, he issued an edict.
Ji Xuan is the name of the fourth prince, which was chosen as early as May.
Shen Qing clenched Ji Chen's fingertips. He wanted to wait until Ji Xuan was three years old. Perhaps it was to see if Ji Xuan could become a qualified prince or even emperor. This was Ji Chen's responsibility to his people.
"Well, we won't have any more children. We can spend more time together."
Ji Chen reached out and wiped away the tears that slipped out of Shen Qing's eyes: "I'm fine, why are you crying?"
"Because I like you."
