C304 The sovereign of the moon had made him his prince (2/2)
”Elder Sister Rong... I... A prince was born! ” Jia Ping was weak and anxious, but he still wanted to confirm this fact.
”Yes, it's the prince!” Rong'er smiled and took the handkerchief from palace maid's hands, gently wiping the sweat off Jia Ping's forehead, ”You must be tired, close your eyes and sleep.”
Jia Ping was really tired. He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep. Rong'er stood up and walked over to the wet nurse's side. He looked at the little baby that had just been born, blushing as he looked at the healthy baby. He smiled with a pleased expression and turned around to ask the doctor, ”Are both mother and son alright?”
The imperial physician immediately cupped his hands together and replied: ”Reporting to Lord Rong, Imperial Concubine Ping Lord is fine. Although the little prince is prematurely born, and just a bit small in size, but after this subject's initial diagnosis, he should still be relatively healthy.”
”That's good!” Rong'er smiled and nodded. Suddenly, he remembered and turned around. ”I haven't informed the emperor and empress dowager of the good news yet.”
Noble Lady Liang continued: ”Just now, Imperial Concubine Wen had already sent someone to report to him.”
”Eh? And the Imperial Concubine Wen? ” Only now did Rong'er realize that he hadn't seen Imperial Concubine Wen in a long time.
”I saw that there were no major issues with Imperial Concubine Ping just now, so I left. You also know that Imperial Concubine Wen and Imperial Concubine Ping had a conflict earlier, so it might be inconvenient to see you.” The Noble Lady Liang replied with a smile.
Turning around to look at the haggard Jia Ping on the bed, Rong'er lamented that Jia Ping was much luckier than the Empress Renxiao. He would be the first in the palace, and the prince would be born …
Deep in the night, in a certain courtyard, a lady dressed in plain clothes coldly looked at a middle-aged palace maid kneeling in front of her.
Snorting coldly, he said, ”Didn't you say you were absolutely certain?”
”This servant was half wrong, please punish me.” The middle-aged palace maid said with guilt.
”Punishment?” What's the use of punishing? She gave birth to a prince, a prince! ” The woman was somewhat excited, ”Do you know who she is? She was Heseli Jia Ping, the younger sister of Empress Renxiao. She was the most qualified person to replace her older sister and become the Empress! Today, she'd even made a prince out of it … ”She's one step closer to the back …” After the lady finished her excitement, her voice slowly became softer, with a hint of sadness in it, as she spoke more softly.
”Master …” The palace maid called out softly.
The woman smiled bitterly, ”All these years, I didn't have anything …” No children, no pang of love... What's the use of having a body full of glory? She had only been in the palace for a year and she already gave birth to a prince … With her here, do I still have any hope of becoming Empress? ”
”Master, don't be sad. Your servant will think of a way. Don't worry, your servant will do his best to handle this matter!” Seeing the woman's grieving expression, the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground felt extreme pain in his heart, and the look in his eyes became firmer and firmer.
”You can get up. Go and rest …” You have followed me for so many years, so why would I blame you for putting in so much effort? The woman weakly waved her hand, leaned against the warm brick bed, and gently closed her eyes.
”Mistress, don't worry!” This matter was not done well by this servant, but this servant will definitely get rid of the Imperial Concubine Ping's child. Master, this servant will definitely do it! ” palace maid looked at the lady and said seriously.
”Go down. I'm tired.” The woman didn't open her eyes.
Since palace maid was unable to do so, she could only rise and take her leave. After palace maid left, the woman gently opened her eyes, revealing a pair of eyes that were filled with resentment …
