The Love between Hanxiang and Qianlong

After dinner, Hanxiang originally planned to help the children take a bath herself, but was stopped by Ruize: "Mother, if you are not feeling well, don't work so hard, we can do it ourselves."

Hanxiang was so moved that her eyes became moist, and she choked up as she answered:

"Mother is not tired. As long as I can take good care of you, I am willing to do anything."

But Rui Ze was determined and refused to let Hanxiang help, so Hanxiang had no choice but to turn her eyes to the wet nurse.

The wet nurse understood what Hanxiang meant and hurried forward to help, carrying the two children into the bathroom.

After taking a bath, Hanxiang lay on the big bed, hugged her two children tightly, and told stories in a soft voice.

The two siblings snuggled in Hanxiang's warm embrace, quietly listening to the gentle voice, and gradually fell asleep.

Seeing that the children had fallen asleep, Hanxiang gently kissed each of them on the cheek.

At this moment, Qianlong suddenly pointed at his own face and said to Hanxiang coquettishly: "Baby, your husband wants a kiss too~"

Hanxiang smiled, kissed Qianlong lightly on the face, and then slowly closed her eyes.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already midnight. Aunt Kang knocked gently on the door.

Hanxiang turned around when she heard the knock on the door. Qianlong patted Hanxiang on the back and walked out quietly.

Qianlong asked Nanny Kang in a low voice: "What's wrong? Why are you knocking on the door so late?"

Nanny Kang said respectfully: "Your Majesty, news has come from the Bachelor's Mansion that Princess Ziwei is about to give birth and has already entered the delivery room"!

When Qianlong heard the news, he was stunned and asked quickly: "Didn't the imperial physician say that the baby would be born in a few days? How could it be so soon?"

He quickly turned around and walked towards the bedroom, gently waking up Hanxiang.

When Hanxiang learned that Ziwei was about to give birth, she immediately sat up, prepared to change clothes and go to the Bachelor's Mansion.

Qianlong carefully helped her dress up and told Xiao Luzi to prepare the carriage.

Before leaving, Hanxiang specifically instructed Madam Kang: "Madam, please take good care of Rui Ze and Jing Lu."

Nanny Kang replied respectfully: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will take good care of the little prince and princess."

Hanxiang nodded, then walked out of the palace with Qianlong.

Inside the scholar's residence, Erkang paced anxiously outside the door, looking inside the house from time to time.

Fulan was also sitting outside the door, looking nervous.

I saw an endless stream of hot water, which was white when it first went in, but when it came out it was all blood and I could hardly stand.

Seeing the maidservant carrying blood out again, Erkang couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "How is the princess?"

The little maid was already frightened by the scene, and when Erkang asked, she couldn't even hold the basin steadily and it fell to the ground.

When Fu Jin heard the voice, she asked the maid to go down and said, "Ziwei is fine, but it's not time for her to give birth yet! We have to wait a little longer."

Erkang frowned, becoming more and more worried, and asked anxiously: "Mother, why is Ziwei silent?"

Fu Jin quickly comforted her.

"Don't worry, Ziwei needs to stay quiet now so that she can better conserve her energy and have more strength for the birth later.

You can’t yell now, or you’ll waste your energy.”

Erkang nodded as if he understood, but the worry in his eyes was still there.

Ziwei clutched the quilt tightly, sweat soaked her forehead, and her face was as pale as paper.

The excruciating pain of each contraction was unbearable for her. She clenched her teeth but still couldn't help but let out a scream.

Erkang heard Ziwei's cries of pain from outside and felt heartbroken. He no longer cared about anything else and wanted to rush into the delivery room immediately.

However, Fu Jin blocked his way and refused to let him in.

The two men were in a stalemate at the door and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

At this moment, Qianlong and Hanxiang came over. Erkang saw Hanxiang and felt like he had found a life-saving straw.

He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, his voice anxious: "Your humble servant pays his respects to the Emperor, Father and Empress."

Fulun also followed suit and Qianlong nodded with a smile.

Hanxiang looked at Erkang's anxious expression and comforted him softly, "Don't worry, I'll go in and see how Ziwei is doing."

After saying that, she said something to Qianlong and turned and walked into the delivery room.

Fu Jin looked at Han Xiang in surprise as she entered the delivery room, and said hurriedly, "Empress, how did you get in?

This delivery room is a bloody place. You are a noble phoenix, how can you come here?"

Hanxiang waved her hand lightly and said nonchalantly: "I myself have experienced the pain of childbirth, so why would I care about this? How is Ziwei now?"

Her gaze fell on Ziwei with concern, her eyes full of worry.

The midwife said: "In reply to the Queen, the princess is now eight fingers dilated, which is considered fast."

Hanxiang held Ziwei's hand tightly, her eyes full of concern and encouragement.

She whispered, "Ziwei, hold on a little longer, the baby will be out soon, be strong, okay?"

Ziwei's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her body was trembling slightly, as if she was in great pain.

But she still gritted her teeth and tried to stay awake.

At this time, the midwife suddenly shouted loudly: "Princess, please push hard! The little boy is about to be born!"

Hanxiang quickly encouraged Ziwei in her ear, "Ziwei, be brave, listen to the midwife's push, he will be born soon.

Just think about it, isn’t it cute when he calls you mom in a soft and sweet voice?

You have also seen Rui Ze and Jing Tao, wouldn’t you be happy if you were born as cute as them?"

Ziwei closed her eyes, and a small figure appeared in her mind, and a soft voice called out, "Mother", which made her feel a warmth and strength surge in her heart.

She gritted her teeth and used her last bit of strength to push the child out.

The midwife shouted happily: "Your Majesty, the princess has given birth to a little boy!"

Hanxiang wiped the sweat off Ziwei's face and said, "Ziwei, you are so great! Did you hear that? You gave birth to a little boy."

After hearing this, Ziwei fell asleep peacefully, and the midwife cleaned up the mess.

After Hanxiang took Ziwei's pulse, she went out to announce the good news. Fu Jin carried the little boy out and smiled from ear to ear: "Ziwei has added a new member to our Fu family."

After hearing this, Fulun asked Hanxiang: "Excuse me, Your Majesty, how is Ziwei?"

Hanxiang replied: "Don't worry, Lord Fu, Ziwei is fine, she just fell asleep due to exhaustion."

Fulun clapped his hands and cheered: "I'm glad Ziwei is okay."

He turned around and saluted to Qianlong: "Your Majesty, I will go down first to choose a good name for the child."

Qianlong waved his hand to let him go, and Erkang said, "Father, let me go in and see Ziwei."

Qianlong nodded, and seeing that everything was fine, he said to Hanxiang: "Since Ziwei has given birth safely, let's go back too!"

When Fu Jin saw Qianlong turning around and leaving with Hanxiang, she knelt down and saluted with her servants. She waited until the emperor and empress disappeared before going to the young master's residence.

Erkang entered the room and saw Ziwei lying on the bed. Her pale face was heartbreaking.

He walked gently to the bedside, held Ziwei's hand, and said softly: "Ziwei, I'm here, you've worked hard."

Ziwei opened her eyes slightly, looked at Erkang and smiled: "Erkang, I did it, I gave you a son."

Erkang's eyes were wet with excitement: "Thank you, Ziwei, I love you"!

The two hugged each other and cried. At this moment, their happiness was beyond words.

At the same time, Fu Jin came in holding the little prince, and said to Erkang with a smile: "Look at your son, he looks so much like you!"

Erkang took the little boy in his arms, holding him carefully, his eyes full of love.

"This is our child. I will take good care of you and your child!"

Ziwei looked at Erkang and his son, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.

She knew that in the days ahead, they would face the challenges of life together and create a better future together.
