Blessings from heaven and the Yi people, the birth of Long Xixiaomei;
Jun Xin was happy to give this child a good name.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the twentieth of September. As she lay down to read, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. Xiaoqing, who was waiting at the side, thought that according to the imperial physician, it was about time for her to go and call her midwifery, so she asked the imperial palace to send her midwife to live in the eardrum of the Kunning Palace at any time during this period. The imperial empress dowager sent her midwife to help the midwives get ready, and when she saw that Rong`er was about to have a baby, she told her to find Wang Jingzhi and ask her to send someone to help him deliver the baby.
When Wang Xiuzhi heard that Gai Rong'er was about to give birth, she immediately went to the East Warm Pavilion to tell the empress. The empress was very happy, so she sent a palace maid to call the imperial physician, and an eunuch to report to the emperor.
Xuan Ye was at the archery pavilion watching the Burku practice their combat skills. The people of the Hall of Peace, having received the letter, rushed to inform him. When they heard that Rong was about to give birth, they hurried to the palace.
”Empress, what's the situation with Rong's agreement?” Xuan Ye asked.
When the empress saw that the emperor had arrived, she quickly replied, ”Right now, the midwives are in for the honor of agreeing to deliver the baby, and chenqie has sent a few palace maids in to help. The imperial physician has also rushed over and is waiting for me, so it would be inconvenient for me to go in to see the doctor right now.
Seeing that the empress had arranged everything so well, Xuan Ye smiled gratefully at her and said softly, ”You've taken the trouble, empress. You've done very well.”
”This is what chenqie should do.” The empress replied with a smile.
Xuan Ye did not reply, but his heart was still preoccupied with the situation within. From within, Gai Rong'er's pained cries shook his heart.
After about two hours, ”Wow …” came from inside the house. After a while, the door of the room opened and Xiaoqing walked out. She smiled and said, ”Congratulations, your majesty. Rongzi is giving birth to Ah'ge.”
Xuan Ye took a step into the room. He hurried to the bed and threw himself in front of Gai Rong'er's bed. Gai Rong'er was very tired. Looking at Xuan Ye, he smiled but said nothing. The midwife was still standing by the bed, holding the child in her hands. When she saw the emperor enter, she quickly said, ”Congratulations, Your Majesty. I congratulate Your Majesty for agreeing to the safety of mother and son.”
Hearing the midwife's words, Xuan Ye looked towards the child in the midwife's hands. He gently took it from his and held it in his arms. Looking at the red and wrinkled face in his arms, he lay down on the bed. Rong'er said, ”Rong'er, look. This is our child, our prince!”
Rong'er smiled as he looked at the child the Emperor had handed over to him. Due to the shout just now, his voice was a little hoarse as he said, ”Rong'er is so happy. Rong'er has given birth to a prince for the Emperor.”
The empress followed the emperor into the room. Seeing that the emperor was preoccupied with his happiness, she walked over and reminded him softly, ”Your majesty, how about you let the imperial physician give Rong permission to have a pulse checked with the prince first?”
Xuan Ye was so excited that he immediately shouted, ”Quick...” Fast... ”The imperial physician …”
When the imperial physician waiting outside heard the emperor's summons, he hurriedly entered the room and checked the meridians of Rong'er and the little prince before reporting to the emperor, ”Reporting to your majesty, Young Lord Rong and the prince are both very well. This humble subject shall prescribe some medicine to help the young master recover.”
Xiaoqing followed the imperial physician to get the prescription, and the imperial physician was the first to withdraw.
When the empress saw that Rong'er and her mother were safe, she smiled and said, ”Congratulations to your son and her mother. Rong'er, please rest well.” He then turned to the emperor and said, ”Your majesty, since Rong has promised mother and son that they will be safe, then chenqie will take her leave first.” With that, the empress saluted and left Gai Rong'er's room with the ladies.
