After repeatedly instructing the midwife to ensure a safe delivery, Concubine Tong led Concubine Hui out. Before leaving, Concubine Hui glared at Concubine Rong fiercely.
She had finally realized that some people could not be indulged. Once indulged, they would become even more aggressive, and that was what was happening now.
After she gave birth, she would ask the Queen to move her out, as the Yanx Palace was not the place for her.
Rong Guiren naturally saw Huipin's eyes. She was angry in her heart. She would never forget how she had mocked Huipin.
Unfortunately, she made a mistake and let Huipin get ahead of her, and she is still a noble lady until now.
She originally wanted to rely on the baby in her belly to get to the top, but now it seems that it is not possible, because she has a feeling that there may be something wrong with the baby.
No matter how outstanding a child with problems is, he will never be eligible for that position. If she gave birth to a child with problems, she would probably be secretly executed by Kangxi.
The more I thought about it, the more scared and nervous I became. The pain in my stomach came faster due to my nervousness. Fortunately, the midwife was experienced and reacted quickly.
"Don't worry, my lady. The cervix has opened and the baby will be born soon. Just push hard."
Hearing this, Concubine Rong hurriedly exerted force. She now only hoped that there would be no problems with the child, so that she would still have a chance to be promoted to a concubine.
Unfortunately, after all this trouble, the child was holding his breath and was already weak when he came out.
"Quick, call the doctor!"
When she heard the word "imperial physician", Concubine Rong's face turned pale. Her premonition was right. Something really happened to the child.
Thinking of the several children who died young before, she suddenly felt that she was being plotted against by someone, otherwise why would her child be the only one to get into trouble?
"Your Majesty, if you don't come, I'm afraid I'll really have to take the child and leave you. Please help me!"
Kangxi rushed over as soon as the news of her making a fuss spread. The reason he came was not because of her, but because he was worried that something might happen to the child.
"It's born? Why is there no movement at all?"
"Your Majesty, please be prepared. The imperial physician has just entered."
Kangxi's face darkened instantly. He wanted to pull Concubine Rong out and beat her up. She had such a big belly but she had to mess with it. It might even affect his offspring. It was an unforgivable crime.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The child will be fine."
Concubine Tong was speaking the truth. She was Kangxi's cousin and naturally hoped that his children would be safe. Although she had no children, Mu Sili did.
Her current behavior is to win the favor of Kangxi, and if Mu Sili can say a few words for her, her position will be more stable.
She doesn't want the position of queen anymore. Just look at how many things have happened since she took the throne and you will know that this position is not easy to sit in. Why should she rush to be like a beast of burden?
In the delivery room, the imperial physician breathed a sigh of relief after checking the child's specific condition. Fortunately, the child can be raised as long as he is well taken care of.
"Don't worry, my lady. The young prince is fine, but he is too weak and needs to be taken care of. As long as he takes good care of himself, he will be able to survive."
These words did not make Concubine Rong look surprised. She only knew that the child had a health problem and would not only bring her no benefit, but would also bring trouble to her.
So after a casual glance, she stopped looking at her, and the midwife rolled her eyes when she saw her appearance.
If she hadn't given birth properly, how could the little prince be like this? This was clearly caused by holding it in for too long.
When she takes the little prince out to see the emperor, she will definitely tell him what happened in the delivery room. She feels sorry for the little prince.
"Alright, take him out to show the emperor and then send him back in. This child has a miserable life and was born with deficiencies. Just raise him well from now on."
"yes."
The imperial physician came out with the midwife. Kangxi was happy when he heard that Concubine Rong had given birth to a prince, but when he heard that the little prince was weak, he sighed, as if Concubine Rong was not suitable for childbirth.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should or shouldn't say it. However, I feel suffocated if I don't say it."
Kangxi's eyes narrowed, there was something he didn't know about.
"explain."
The midwife kept complaining, which made Kangxi very angry.
He thought that the child's frailty was caused by Concubine Rong's failure to take good care of herself during her pregnancy, but he didn't expect that it was caused by the delivery just now.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"This servant dare not speak nonsense to Lady Rong. This is all true. The little prince could have been born an hour ago, but Lady Rong insisted on waiting for you to come before giving birth. This is what made the little prince so angry."
"presumptuous!"
Kangxi was furious. Since she didn't value the child so much, she should not raise the child. After all, she was just a concubine and according to the rules she could not raise the child herself.
This child was born in the Yanxi Palace, so he should be considered a prince of the Yanxi Palace, but...
Kangxi originally wanted to give the child to Huipin to raise, but Huipin already had a son who was still outside the palace, so he was afraid that he would not be able to concentrate on raising him.
Then he looked at the Queen and Concubine Tong. Neither of them was foolish and saw through Kangxi's thoughts at a glance, but neither of them wanted to raise the child.
The Queen felt that she was the head of the imperial harem and not infertile, so why should she help others raise children? She didn't want to.
Concubine Tong felt that the child's biological mother was still alive, and in order to avoid future discord between mother and child, it would be better for her not to raise the child.
"Your Majesty, please don't look at me like that. I can't even take care of myself, so I certainly can't take care of the little prince either."
Kangxi was originally struggling with who to entrust the child to, and Concubine Tong's sudden words made him feel that she seemed to dislike his child.
Since she doesn't want it so much, then let her raise the child. If anything happens to the child, he will hold her responsible!
"This is the first time that the Imperial Concubine has made a request to me. You are also my cousin. I feel very relieved to leave the child to you to raise. From now on, the Tenth Prince will be raised by you."
Concubine Tong looked at Kangxi in confusion. When did she say that she wanted to raise the child? She was clearly refusing just now. Could it be that there was something wrong with his ears and he heard it wrong?
"Your Majesty, what I mean is that I can't even take care of the child myself. You should find someone else to raise the child. I can't do it."
"You can do it. I think there is no one more suitable than you. I feel relieved to leave him to you to raise."
"Your Majesty..."
"Congratulations, sister, on the birth of your son. I will go back and prepare a gift and personally present it to Xiao Shi during the full moon banquet."
The Queen was afraid that Kangxi would give this low-born child to her to raise, so she quickly expressed her opinion and decided on this matter.
Concubine Tong had no choice but to acknowledge the child. She would go back to Yikun Palace to complain to Mu Sili.
"I thank the emperor for his grace."
Rong Guiren, who heard the entire process in the delivery room, fainted on the spot. She didn't like him, but she never thought of giving him to someone else to raise!
