Rong'er gave birth to a second prince, and mother and son were safe and happy.
Jun, who had the highest status in the palace, returned to visit his wife and children in the middle of the night.
Rong'er gave birth on the night of the twenty-first of June, another few days earlier than the imperial physicians had expected. The child was very well born, and Rong'er was very happy because it was a prince. In the middle of the night, the candles in the small chamber lit up brightly, and Rong'er, exhausted, once again sat on the bed, hugging her child. A prince, Rong'er's smile had never left her child's face ever since she was born, thinking that even though the three children had already left her, the heavens still favored her, bestowing upon her a prince.
"Rong'er, you look good. The imperial physician said that you and the prince are healthy." Wang Jingzhi smiled and said.
Her face wrinkled as the image of Cheng Rui, Cha Yin, and that Changhua that she had never seen before flashed through her mind. She couldn't help but hold the child tightly, feeling the softness of her son's body.
"The Internal Affairs Bureau said that they've already sent a message to the Emperor. The Emperor will definitely be very happy that you've given birth to a prince." The Emperor went to the southern courtyard yesterday, and this little fellow was in a hurry to come out today. Rong'er looked at the child and thought to himself, when I saw that I had given birth earlier, I was truly worried.
"Mistress, the empress dowager's palace sent some news to tell mistress to rest in peace. It's already midnight. Tomorrow morning, Aunt Su will come to visit mistress." Little Qing smiled and said, "I even instructed the Internal Affairs Bureau to give Master a reward."
All these years, she had seen the emperor after giving birth to his child. Although the previous time she had given birth to him, the first person she saw when she opened her eyes was still the emperor, and she could not help but feel a sense of disappointment on her face.
"Rong'er, are you thinking about the Emperor?" Wang Jingzhi smiled.
Hearing the words of Jingzhi, Rong'er couldn't help but blush and shake his head with a smile. "Jing`er, don't make fun of me."
"Who is the prince going to teach the prince to raise?" "Are we still going to carry them away in three days?"
Rong'er couldn't help but crease his brow and nod. "I should be teaching it to the empress dowager or concubine." In fact, the Emperor had spoken to her before the birth of the child and discussed with the Empress Dowager that if the child was given birth, the child would be given to the Empress Dowager or the concubine to raise. If the concubine was given birth, she would often see him in the Palace, but she had never been close with the concubine, and the concubine would visit the Palace day before her birth to see if the child was taken care of. She did not know, but it was difficult for her to even meet the Empress Dowager. They didn't know what the emperor and empress dowager had decided.
"Also being a mother, a normal family's mother would live her life watching her son be born, watching her son grow up, watching her son seek a future, growing up, watching his son get married, and then carrying his grandson." Wang Jingzhi quietly said, "This should be Mother's greatest happiness. But in this imperial harem, as a mother, she can't raise her own son. All the women in the emperor are destined not to experience the feeling of a woman's true filial son." Wang Jingzhi sighed, "Rong'er, why are so many women fighting to enter this harem?"
"This... Jing`er, didn't our Ama and our First Mother tell us that the Emperor is the Son of Heaven and the greatest man in the world? Was being able to become the emperor's woman the greatest honor in one's life? Jing-er, why do you think that? However, not being able to watch your own son grow up is truly a cruel thing. " Rong'er sighed in a low voice.
"Perhaps …" If I didn't meet... I will share with you the same thoughts as all the other women in this harem. " Wang Jingzhi whispered.
"Jing'er, you …" Rong'er looked up at Wang Jingzhi.
I accept my fate. Rong'er, now that we've entered this palace, it's actually more than just cruel. Forget about it, since we're already here, we might as well settle down. Jing`er said softly.
"Alright, I'm tired too." "Rong'er nodded slightly. Jingzhi didn't want to say that she wouldn't force him." "Nanny, carry the prince away to rest." Rong'er looked at the wet nurse beside him and instructed.
The wet nurse took the prince away, and Jingzhi also softly said, "No matter what, we still have to congratulate you. Since the emperor dotes on you, you have to do your best.
"In fact, who would say such things after Legge's death?" Rong'er said bitterly, "Rong'er thought that the day would come early, when the emperor would look down on me. I'll be like the empress, the one who knows the empress the best. Be a virtuous and virtuous woman by the emperor's side."
Wang Jingzhi nodded, "Of course it's for the best if you can think like this. After all, our man is the Emperor." Wang Jingzhi then took her leave.
However, she really had no right to complain. After all, the emperor had treated her very well, and he didn't know when the emperor would return. He missed the emperor and wanted to see his happy smile, but as he thought about this, he suddenly heard Xiu-Er and Xiu-Er, who were guarding the gates, shout in unison, "Your servant greets Your Majesty!" Your majesty?
On this night, he had a strange uneasiness in his heart, as he could not even read through the paper money. Yesterday, he had arrived at the southern courtyard, and today, he was hunting in the southern courtyard. His plan was to return to the palace tomorrow and return with Xuan Ye to the southern courtyard with his father-in-law, Liang Jiu Gonggong, to report, "Reporting to the emperor, news has come from the imperial palace.
"Ah?" Rong'er's son? It's been advanced again? " No wonder he had felt so uneasy all night. "Alright, pass on my orders, we'll set off for the palace tomorrow as soon as the time comes."
"Your servant obeys the decree." Liang Jiu Gonggong received the order and withdrew.
He had been paying a lot of attention to this child and had specifically asked Imperial Physician Rong'er how many days it would take for him to give birth. Only then did he relax and come to the Southern Courtyard, but he didn't expect that after he left, Rong'er would give birth to a child.
"It's a prince! A prince!" His eyes were staring at the imperial report, but he actually couldn't calm his heart down.
"Cao Yin!" Xuan Ye called for his guard who was waiting at the door.
"Your servant is here!" A young guard around the age of seventeen walked in and bowed.
"Cao Yin, order a few guards to accompany me tonight at the palace while the rest will follow you tomorrow." Xuan Ye said.
Upon hearing the emperor's instructions, Cao Yin advised, "Your majesty, it's already late at night. It's better if we return to the palace tomorrow morning."
"You are traveling at a slow pace. We will be back at the palace on horseback in less than an hour. There's no need to speak any further. Find a few people and we will set off immediately!" Xuan Ye waved his hand to stop Cao Yin from talking.
"Yes, this servant obeys the decree!" Cao Yin accepted the order.
Xuan Ye rushed back to the Forbidden City overnight, dismounted, and directly headed for the storage palace. When Rong'er heard that Xuan Ye had come, he propped himself up and sat there. When he saw Xuan Ye come in, his emotions had already flooded his heart, and his tears couldn't help but fall. You're back? Yes... "Really?"
"Rong'er, I thought you were asleep. I wanted to see you and leave, but why haven't I rested yet?" Xuan Ye walked over to Rong'er's bedside with concern in his eyes.
"The production of the prince went smoothly, so it was not very arduous." Rong'er smiled as he looked at Xuan Ye with tears in his eyes. "Your Majesty, you …" Aren't you in the southern courtyard? "
"I heard that you had become a prince because of your death and I was worried about you, so I rushed back that very night." Xuan Ye smiled and lightly wiped away the tears that had fallen from Rong'er's cheeks. "Why is it that I've come back, and Rong'er is still crying? Are you unhappy to see me?"
"Happy, too unexpected, too high." Rong'er said embarrassedly, "Chenqie is crying tears of joy."
"Stupid Rong'er!" Xuan Ye dotingly caressed Rong'er's hair.
