Snow Color

After ten months of pregnancy, the baby is finally ready to fall.

Today, Xueying was walking in the yard with the help of Nanny Li, but after walking for a while, she felt something was wrong, as if something was flowing down.

"Mammy, help me go back quickly, my water broke." Xueying stopped, held the mammy's hand tightly, and calmly walked back to the room with the mammy's support.

In the courtyard, everyone was doing what they were supposed to do in an orderly manner under the arrangement of Nanny Li. The midwife entered the delivery room after a search. Yun Duo hurriedly asked an imperial physician to take charge just in case, and Xiao Shunzi went to the government office to inform the Fourth Prince.

"Master, the Concubine is about to give birth." When Su Peisheng heard the news from the person sent by the Fourth Concubine, he knew that the matter was important, and hurried to report to the Fourth Prince who was working in the office.

"Hurry, go back home." After hearing this, the Fourth Prince quickly stood up, walked out of the door quickly, rode on the horse led by the guard, and rode away.

The Fourth Prince returned to the mansion and hurried to the main courtyard. He saw the servants busying themselves in the main courtyard, but he did not hear the voice of the Lady, and felt very worried.

"How is Fu Jin now? Why is there no sound?" asked the Fourth Prince.

"Replying to the Fourth Prince, the Lady is gathering her strength now, so as not to waste her strength by making a sound." Yun Duo explained after hearing the Fourth Prince's question.

The Fourth Prince sat on a chair placed outside the door, sitting upright with his eyes closed, and twirling the Buddhist beads in his hand.

After a while, Li, who heard that the Fourth Prince had returned, came to the main courtyard in gorgeous clothes, followed by Song and the concubine Ling.

"Greetings to the Master." Li walked up to the Fourth Prince, and the three of them went to pay their respects.

"Get up."

"Yes." After the three of them stood up, the Fourth Prince did not allow them to sit down, so they had to stand.

Time passed by minute by minute.

There was only a cry of pain, and when the Fourth Prince opened his eyes and stood up, he heard the cry of a child. After a while, someone came out.

"Congratulations, Fourth Prince. Congratulations, Fourth Prince. The wife has given birth to a little prince." The midwife walked out of the delivery room holding a blue quilt and a baby, and congratulated the Fourth Prince who was standing outside.

"Okay, there are rewards, everyone will be rewarded." The Fourth Prince felt relieved when he saw the baby in the midwife's arms looked healthy, and joy surged in his heart.

"How is Fu Jin?" As the child was not suitable for being seen by the midwife, she let the Fourth Prince take a look and then took him back, then asked.

"My dear prince, the wife is weak now and fell asleep after giving birth." Yun Duo, who came out with the midwife, replied when she heard the Fourth Prince's question.

"That's good. You must take good care of the Lady and the young prince. If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you don't, you'd better watch out for your head. Do you understand?" The Fourth Prince looked at the servants in the yard and used both kindness and force.

"Understood." The servants replied in unison.

"Su Peisheng, draw your bow and report the good news to the Emperor." The Fourth Prince ordered.

"Yes." Su Peisheng placed the bow and arrow, symbolizing the birth of a child, in front of the gate, so that people from other mansions would know that a little prince was born in their mansion, and they would send people to the palace to announce the good news.

Qianqing Palace

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince sent someone to report the good news. The Fourth Concubine gave birth to a little prince." Liang Jiugong said in front of Emperor Kangxi.

"Good" Kangxi was taking a walk and was very happy to hear the news.

Yonghe Palace

"Master, the fourth lady gave birth to a little prince." Lingzhi said.

"Ah."

"According to the rules, give me an extra 10% reward." De Fei said calmly without changing her expression.

"Your Majesty, should we..." The nanny beside her felt that it was inappropriate after hearing this and prepared to persuade Concubine De.

"Madam, you don't have to say anything. Just give the order." Defei said without any doubt.

"Yes, your majesty." Nanny Wu had no choice but to obey the arrangement.

Yikun Palace

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Concubine just gave birth to a prince. According to the rules, the Empress Defei will give an additional 10% reward." Liang Jing found out the news and came back to report.

"Defei really doesn't like the Fourth Prince. She doesn't hide it at all." According to the rules, any prince who gives birth to a son is given 1% more, but the biological mother is basically given an extra reward that is usually no less than %. When Concubine Yi saw this, she sneered at the Emperor's words that Defei was gentle and loving.

She didn't want to see the hypocritical face of Concubine De.

"Liang Jing, go add 20% to the reward and send it over." Concubine Yi really wanted to see if Concubine De could still maintain her smile tomorrow. She had no shortage of rewards anyway, so why not disgust Concubine De?

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liang Jing also knew what his Majesty was thinking and was very happy with it.

Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui did the same thing as Concubine Yi.

After hearing this, Defei couldn't help but show anger in her eyes, and the Buddhist beads in her hands were broken by the strong pull and scattered all over the ground.

When Xueying woke up again, she felt very weak. She took a fitness pill and felt much better and sat up.

"Yun Duo, bring the little prince over here. I want to see him." Xueying wanted to see her child very much when she woke up.

"He's so cute." Xueying felt indescribable emotions in her heart as she looked at the child lying beside her. She now felt that this child was everything to her. This might be maternal love.

Xueying herself might not even be aware that she was now emitting a warm and gentle aura that comforted everyone.

"Where is grandpa?" Xueying asked.

"Fujin, the Fourth Master is working in the government office now. The Fourth Master told us to tell you when you wake up that we will come over when she returns." Yun Duo stepped forward and replied.

"Hmm." After hearing this, Xueying continued to stare at the little prince who had now woken up.

"Fujin, please come and eat something first." Nanny Li came over with a bowl of chicken soup, asking her master to replenish her body.

"Okay." Xueying sat up. She hadn't eaten for a day and was already hungry. She took the chicken soup from the nanny and drank it slowly.

"Mammy, how is the prince's wet nurse?" Xue Yingsheng had previously asked Mammy Li to pay close attention to how the little prince's wet nurse was performing during this period of time.

"Madam, a wet nurse drank a decoction that was bad for the little prince's health yesterday, and wanted to feed it to him. I have already detained her and interrogated her." Madam Li became very angry when she thought of the news she heard yesterday. She was afraid of what would happen if she hadn't found out. Madam would definitely be heartbroken if something happened to the little prince.

A hint of sternness flashed across Xueying's eyes. "There is actually someone with such ulterior motives in the mansion! He must be severely punished! Interrogate him carefully and find out who is behind this."

Nanny Li quickly agreed, "What Fu Jin said is true. But now that the little prince has just been born, he needs careful care. It would be better to choose a reliable wet nurse to take over first."

Xueying nodded, "I'll do as you say. Thank you for your concern on this matter."
