The Virtuous Concubine

In addition to the cooperation of the people in Yonghe Palace, Malu also admired Zhang Jiajingyi for planning to save Dachun. She is thoughtful and attaches great importance to friendship. She would take risks to inform Malu for Dachun, and she also helped Malu communicate with Dachun and Liu Mama throughout the process. It can be said that she is brave, resourceful, affectionate and righteous.

If Malu had not interfered, her fate would have been to become Kangxi's concubine, live in Yonghe Palace, and give birth to two princesses and the thirteenth prince. Therefore, when Malu faced her, she felt less embarrassed.

She didn't think the palace was a good place, so she felt guilty for leaving everyone behind. Especially those who stayed with her were her good friends and partners. She knew the dangers and ruthlessness of the palace, and that everyone could lose themselves in the vortex of power, or even be ruthlessly sacrificed.

She wasn't sure if she would change in this vortex, nor was she sure if they would change.

But before she had the chance to find Jingyi, she was about to give birth.

This child is really naughty. He can't wait to come out even before the due date.

Malu was having lunch at noon. As the weather was getting colder, Bai Xia was afraid that her master would catch a cold, so she had already used several charcoal basins. The charcoal fire crackled, and a warm atmosphere filled the room. Nothing could be better than this.

Although she felt that Bai Xia was making a big deal out of nothing, Malu still ordered a beef hotpot with great interest, and simmered some chestnuts and eggs on the charcoal brazier.

Halfway through the meal, Malu's face turned painful, and he cried out in pain: "Bai Xia Bai Fu——"

"Master, what's wrong?" Bai Xia asked nervously, his face full of worry.

Beads of sweat had already seeped out of Malu's forehead. "Quick, go get a midwife. If you only need a midwife, tell her that I want to be called in for questioning. I might be about to give birth..."

Bai Xia immediately turned around and ran out of the room, while Bai Fu quickly helped Malu up and carefully helped her lie down on the bed.

Malu's breathing began to become rapid, and the pain of contractions made her involuntarily clutch the bed sheets.

Bai Fu comforted Malu softly, and quickly asked people to prepare hot water and other things needed for the delivery room. The side hall of Yonghe Palace was in action, Qian Shunxi was very cautiously watching the midwives and the people in the palace, and Zhou Quanfu was watching outside the palace to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

Malu frantically called out to the system in his mind: “Hurry up, hurry up, give me a pill! It hurts so much, ah ah ah——”

The system had no choice but to use its authority to get her a drug to numb her pain nerves. However, this was against the rules, and the tasker was usually required to take the drug himself, and the system could not give her drugs randomly.

Therefore, the system generously deducted 500 points from Malu as a small subsidy to itself.

In fact, the painful contractions and discomfort were still there, but Malu could no longer feel them due to the effects of the medication.

Feeling the pain in her body slowly subsiding and the contractions becoming more regular and stronger, Malu finally felt relieved and had the leisure to go see the midwives.

The midwives were quite cooperative. They removed the hair, washed their hands, and checked their bodies. Their movements were obviously very skilled and they were obviously experienced.

Malu watched them busy, and the midwives also noticed the noble lady's gaze. One of the older midwives came over and said to her gently, "Don't worry, noble lady. We will do our best to ensure that you and your child are safe. You just need to follow our instructions, and leave the rest to us."

Malu nodded, took a deep breath, and adjusted her posture according to the midwife's instructions, ready to deliver the baby. As time went on, the contractions became more frequent and more intense.

The midwife lifted up Malu's red mandarin duck brocade quilt and took a look. She nodded and said, "My lady, listen to my instructions now and follow my instructions. OK? It's already eight fingers dilated. It will be done soon."

Malu quickly pretended to be out of breath and told Bai Fu: "You can go and inform the emperor that I am about to give birth."

The maids looked at each other and decided not to talk about it. Malu turned back to the maid and motioned for her to start.

The leading maid Luo was disturbed by the calmness of this young lady. She was the leader of these maids, from the largest branch of the Uya clan, and also the most promising one. Seeing that there was such a promising girl in her family, she sent her here through the relationship with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so she naturally showed extra care to Malu.

However, she had seen so many people giving birth, but this was the first time she had seen someone who could still look calm and plan to seek favor at this time.

The other few people are more or less related to the Wuya family, so it is normal for them to decide to keep silent.

Nanny Luo took a deep breath, calmed herself, and then began to give orders: "Madam, let's start now. Please follow my rhythm, inhale... exhale... OK, use force!"

Malu held on to the edge of the delivery bed tightly and, following Aunt Luo's instructions, began the final sprint. With every contraction, she could feel the force of the fetus moving downward.

Finally, after a strong contraction, with Malu's scream (fake), a new life was born. The midwives quickly and skillfully handled the newborn, cut the umbilical cord, cleared the airway, and then wrapped this tiny, precious life in a soft swaddling cloth.

Nanny Luo carefully held the child in front of Malu, allowing her to see this little life that had just come into the world.

Tears glistened in Malu's eyes, and she whispered softly: "My baby, you are finally here."

She is finally about to be liberated!

This is really a milestone. Before he could even look at the reward, Malu was frightened by the hand raised by Luo Mama: "Mama, what are you going to do?!"

Upon seeing this, Nanny Luo quickly explained, "My lord, the child is not crying. I am just trying to make him cry out loud." She was very anxious, fearing that Malu would misunderstand and beat her to death.

Malu quickly scanned the child's physical condition and found that he was very healthy! He also checked Kangxi's location and found that he should be heading to Yonghe Palace.

Malu calmly said to Luo Mama: "Okay, go ahead and shoot!"

She watched Aunt Luo gently patting the child's little feet, her heart filled with gratitude and respect.

Finally, under Nanny Luo's gentle patting and soft calling, the newborn let out a loud cry. The cry was crisp and energetic, echoing in the delivery room, making everyone present, including Kangxi who had just entered the room, feel an indescribable joy and emotion.

Nanny Luo looked delighted and bowed her head, saying, "Your Majesty, the noble lady and the little prince are both safe and sound. Congratulations to the emperor on having another son."

Kangxi was delighted and hurried forward to look at the baby in the cradle. The child had delicate features and a loud cry, and it was obvious that he was healthy!

Thinking of this, Kangxi stretched out a finger and gently stroked the child's face, saying: "Look at this child, how loud his cry is. He will definitely become a pillar of the country in the future."

Malu almost laughed out loud when he heard Kangxi say this.
