On the day of the Lantern Festival, the sky was covered with dark clouds and gloomy. Because of the Queen's special instructions, Shen Zhiyao was one of the first to receive the news.

She didn't dress up specially, just wore a dark green casual dress and a cloak, and hurried to Fengyi Palace without even getting on the sedan chair.

Just when I was halfway there, I felt something strange on my face. I looked up and saw that light snowflakes were beginning to float in the sky.

This snow, like last year, also came late.

Shen Zhiyao chuckled: "The Queen's child is truly extraordinary. He was born with the snow. This is truly an auspicious sign!"

"That's right, master. The Queen is a beautiful and kind person. God should take extra care of her." Qiuyue agreed with a smile.

The situation was urgent and there was no time to waste. Shen Zhiyao was concerned about the queen's safety, so she had to go to the scene in person to see what was happening. She stopped talking and quickened her pace.

"Hey, master, please slow down... The road is slippery now, don't fall, be careful of the little master in your belly!" Seeing this, Qiuyue and Chuan hurried forward to help.

"Don't worry, this pair of shoes was specially made by the Imperial Household Department at the order of the Emperor. They are very non-slip." Shen Zhiyao smiled without slowing down.

"You have to be careful too!" Qiuyue muttered softly as she supported him.

When the three of them arrived at Fengyi Palace, it was the Queen's most painful moment. Shen Zhiyao could even hear the Queen's deliberately suppressed cries of pain.

At this time, the scattered snowflakes had turned into large snowflakes like goose feathers. Shen Zhiyao couldn't help but reach out to catch two snowflakes. The snowflakes in the palm of her hand were bigger and more crystal clear than last year.

Shen Zhiyao walked straight into the delivery room. The maids serving on both sides stared at each other with wide eyes, but no one dared to stop her.

In the inner room, bright red curtains covered the bedside. Imperial Doctor Qiu and Imperial Doctor Zhang stood on the outside, and a midwife was delivering a baby on the inside.

"Empress, please be patient and try your best. It will be better soon..." The midwife's voice was steady and powerful, and she kept encouraging the queen.

Shen Zhiyao slipped into the curtain from the corner and saw the queen lying on the couch with sweat on her forehead, but her eyes were shining with determination and tenderness.

"Empress..." Shen Zhiyao stepped forward and held the queen's hand tightly: "If it hurts a lot, just squeeze me hard... Let's work harder and try to give birth faster."

The queen was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, and the only sound she could make was a slight suppressed cry of pain.

She looked in the direction of Shen Zhiyao, and when their eyes met, infinite power surged in her heart.

"Empress, you have been staying in the room all the time and probably don't know yet. When I came in, it was snowing outside. It is obvious that this child will become a remarkable person in the future." Shen Zhiyao said with a smile.

After hearing this, the queen suddenly felt full of strength. She smiled with relief and continued to exert force according to the midwife's instructions.

At this moment, Bo Muxi, Queen Mother Zhao and all the concubines in the palace had arrived and were waiting anxiously outside.

When the snow had been falling for less than an hour, the midwife suddenly said in a trembling voice: "The baby's head has come out... it's come out! Queen... push harder, push harder... it will be done soon..."

Shen Zhiyao was startled when she heard this, and quickly let go of the Queen's hand. She turned sideways to look, only to see that the midwife had already stretched out her trembling hands to handle the umbilical cord.

"Congratulations, Her Majesty, it's a prince! A prince!" The midwife announced the good news with a smile on her face.

The scene was completely silent, with only a faint smell of blood.

The child was born successfully, but he didn't cry for a long time. The faces of the people present were not very good...

Shen Zhiyao saw that although the child's skin was wrinkled, his body was very plump, like a chubby baby.

The queen could not hear the child's cry, nor did she care about the pain. She quickly stood up to look, with a rare flash of panic in her eyes.

The child had his eyes tightly closed, his whole body was red, and he was moving but not crying.

This is the eldest prince of the current emperor. If anything goes wrong, everyone present will be held accountable, so the midwife did not dare to act rashly for a while.

In fact, it’s not that the midwife didn’t know how to act, but the child was too precious and the Queen was watching her, so who would dare to act rashly?

Shen Zhiyao didn't care about that. If the child stopped crying, basic breathing would not be successfully established. If he was deprived of oxygen, it would be too late if he developed serious illness in the future.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhiyao took a few steps forward, picked up the child's two little feet, and slowly lifted him up upside down.

"Hey..." Shijin and the others had no time to stop them. They could only exclaim in surprise and then hurried forward to stop them.

"Pa pa pa..." Shen Zhiyao raised her hand and slapped the child's fleshy butt a few times.

The child's little face instantly wrinkled into a bun, and finally, an unusually crisp and loud baby cry instantly echoed throughout the inner room.

To everyone's ears, it sounded like the music of nature and they couldn't help but smile with joy.

The midwife excitedly reached out her hand and carefully wiped the prince's body before wrapping him in a swaddling cloth.

A maid immediately went out to announce the good news: "Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to the Empress Dowager, the Empress has given birth to a prince, both mother and child are safe!"

Upon hearing this, Bo Muxi was overjoyed and shook Queen Mother Zhao's hand tightly.

"The Queen gave birth to a prince, and the heavens bestowed auspicious signs... God is blessing us!" Queen Mother Zhao was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.

"Reward! Give generous rewards to everyone in Fengyi Palace!" Bo Muxi said with a smile, "By the way, Imperial Concubine Jin, who came to help early in the morning, will also be generously rewarded!"

"Your Majesty, there are now four princes in the palace. This time, I can finally rest assured." Queen Mother Zhao looked at the emperor, smiled with relief, and inadvertently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Mother, isn't it a coincidence that the Queen's child is also ranked fourth..." Bo Muxi held Queen Mother Zhao's hand and laughed happily.

"Well, ranking fourth is good!" Queen Mother Zhao also laughed.

On the day of his birth, auspicious snow fell, alleviating the drought. He was the fourth prince, and his birth mother was the queen...

With all these factors added together, this kid really stacked up all the BUFFs and won at the starting line...

"How is the queen?" Queen Mother Zhao asked the nanny with a smile.

"In reply to the Empress Dowager, the Queen is blessed with good fortune. Apart from feeling a little weak, there is nothing wrong with her." The nanny bowed immediately.

Bo Muxi thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Mother, since the Queen is exhausted, let's not rush to see her. She is too strict with rules, so she will inevitably go through some trouble. Let her rest first, and we will go see her later. Concubine Jin is taking care of her in person, so there will be no mistakes."

"Yes, that's right. If you serve the Queen well, I will reward you handsomely later." Queen Mother Zhao smiled and waved her hand.

Everyone in Fengyi Palace knelt down to thank the emperor and the empress dowager, and the emperor accompanied the empress dowager Zhao to the Renshou Palace to rest.
