"Okay, Ah Yan, don't be angry, okay? I want to eat mung bean cake."
"Xia Ju, go and order the mung bean cakes. Tell the imperial kitchen to add extra sugar when they make them."
"Yes, this servant takes her leave," Xia Ju replied and withdrew.
Outside, everything was covered in white snow. The snow fell heavier and heavier, showing no sign of stopping, and there was no sign of sunshine.
"Ayan, I'm getting ready to go back."
Xiao Liyan held Xiao Liyun's hand, reluctantly saying, "Why don't you have dinner here later, and sleep here tonight?"
"No, you're about to give birth, I don't want to disturb you, you need to rest well."
"Alright then, Liyun, drive carefully on your way back. When you get back, take a shower and change your clothes and socks."
After saying "Okay," he left the room and walked into the courtyard. Just as he reached the door, he heard...
"Ouch, it hurts so much!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong? Someone, quickly, go find the imperial physician!"
"Xia Ju, go find the imperial physician."
Xia Ju immediately ran to the Imperial Hospital
Consort Li heard this and hurried back. Seeing the Empress in such agony, she felt a pang of sorrow and immediately knelt down to take the Empress's hand.
"Liu Si, go find the Emperor and tell him that the Empress is about to give birth."
"Yes," Liu Si replied, heading towards the Imperial Study.

"Third Eunuch, please inform the Emperor that Her Majesty the Empress is about to give birth, and that my Consort Li requests His Majesty's presence at Futang Palace."
Liu Si saw Eunuch Sanhezi at the door and immediately ran over. Eunuch Sanhezi was a favorite of the Emperor and the Grand Eunuch.

"Yes, please inform him, Your Excellency." Upon hearing this, Sanhezi immediately realized the gravity of the situation and hurriedly ran into the Imperial Study.
Seeing the emperor's angry face, he was even more shocked, inwardly cursing the newly arrived minister. Everyone knew that although the current emperor, Qin Jue, was exceptionally handsome, everyone also knew that he was cold-hearted, ruthless, and even killed his own brothers. Privately, he was known as the "Beautiful Tyrant."
But Sanhezi had no choice. Thinking that the Emperor's feelings for the Empress were different from those for the other concubines, and that there was some affection between them, she walked up shakily, lowered her head, and shook the duster in her hand as she spoke.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is about to give birth, and Consort Li has sent someone to invite you to Futang Palace."
Upon hearing this, the tyrant was taken aback at first, then continued reading the memorial.
Seeing that the Emperor remained unmoved after hearing about other concubines giving birth, Sanhezi thought that the Emperor probably wouldn't return to Futang Palace. Just as she was about to go out and report to the little palace maid, she heard the beautiful tyrant shout...
"Sanhezi, prepare to enter Futang Palace!" After saying this, he got up and walked outside.
