Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!

This year, the capital city was hit by another snowstorm. Fortunately, due to Emperor Kangxi's attention, defense measures were arranged in advance, so the disaster did not cause much impact and the disaster relief work was carried out in an orderly manner.

Among them, the Fourth Prince not only handed in the Analects of Confucius that he was punished to copy, but also mixed in a memorial on measures to prevent snow disasters. Kangxi read it but did not say anything.

Time passed and it was the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. Kangxi put down his pen, stopped working, and prepared for the New Year. However, because Shi Nanxi was going to give birth in two days, Kangxi did not return to the palace but stayed in Changchun Garden.

Before that, Princess Song from the Fourth Prince's house gave birth to a little princess, but she was said to be in poor health and didn't even have a third-day bath.

The next day the snow stopped, but there was still ice outside. Kangxi supported Shi Nanxi and walked slowly in the house.

Shi Nanxi's belly became bigger, like a pot turned upside down on her stomach.

However, her limbs were still slender and well-proportioned, just a little fuller. However, this added to her charm and the gentleness of a soon-to-be mother, making her look even prettier than before.

In addition, Shi Nanxi specially looked for the palace's skin care secrets, and also had Nanny Yang's daily acupoint massage, plus some modern skin care techniques. With these three methods, her skin became rosy, shiny, delicate, smooth and fair.

She was relieved that there were no acne, spots or wrinkles at all. Having a baby was one thing, but she didn't want to become ugly.

"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the Empress Dowager is still in the palace. You should go back quickly. I have Nanny Yang and the others here, so you don't have to worry. But you can't miss the New Year's Eve banquet."

Kangxi carefully supported Shi Nanxi,

Hearing this, he said directly:

"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements." Then he looked at Shi Nanxi's belly and said, "Little Yinyi, little Yinyi, why are you still staying in your mother's belly? If you don't come out, it will be the New Year."

Shi Nanxi smiled.

"Your Majesty, there is no way to be sure about childbirth. Besides, what does Yin Yi know? If you tell him to come out, he will come out..."

Before she finished saying the word "come", Shi Nanxi suddenly stopped talking.

Kangxi was still wondering why the little girl stopped talking.

Just as he was about to ask, Shi Nanxi looked up at him.

"Your Majesty, Yin Yi is really coming out."

Kangxi, who was usually smart and perceptive, was a little slow to react at this moment, and said in a daze:

"What do you mean Yin Yi is coming out?"

Shi Nanxi took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in her stomach, and told Kangxi calmly.

"Your Majesty, I am about to give birth."

"I'm going to give birth!"

Kangxi suddenly raised his voice, which immediately woke up Hongying and Yang Ma in the corner. They shouted in unison:

"The Queen is about to give birth!"

At this time, Kangxi's reflex arc finally received it. He immediately picked up Shi Nanxi and walked towards the delivery room while instructing:

"Hurry, the Imperial Concubine is about to give birth, call the midwife."

Shi Nanxi was held in Kangxi's arms. Her stomach ached, but she remained calm. She looked at Nanny Yang and Hongying who were following behind her.

"Don't worry, just follow the previous arrangements."

Nanny Yang and Hongying clasped hands and nodded.

Here, Kangxi put Shi Nanxi into the delivery room and found that his legs were weak. He held the little girl's hand with one hand and watched her lying on the bed, biting her lips tightly, her face pale with pain. His feet seemed to be stuck to the ground and he could not move.

For the first time in his life, he was overwhelmed by a sense of panic. Xiaocheng died of complications during childbirth. Would the little girl be the same? No, not at all. Absolutely not.

But Kangxi's face suddenly turned pale, and he held Shi Nanxi's hand tightly.

Nanny Yang and Hongying have calmed down for the time being and are arranging everything in an orderly manner.

At this time, two midwives had heard the noise and rushed over. They checked the baby with Hongying at the door and only let him in after making sure that there was no problem.

But she didn't expect to see the emperor standing beside the bed as soon as she came in. She was a little surprised, and then looked at Nanny Yang with some embarrassment.

Nanny Yang looked at the emperor beside the bed, her eyes fell on the emperor holding the empress's hand. She felt relieved and headache, but she had to step forward to persuade:

"Your Majesty, the queen is about to give birth, and the midwife is here. Do you think you should go out and wait?"

Kangxi held Shi Nanxi's hand with sweat all over his heart. Looking at her pale face due to pain, he pursed his thin lips tightly and said:

"I will stay here with the Imperial Concubine."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the delivery room was shocked. Childbirth for women has always been dirty, and the delivery room is also regarded as a place of unclean blood. The emperor is the true dragon emperor, how could he stay in the delivery room?

Nanny Yang was also shocked, and then a little moved, but she still wanted to persuade the emperor to leave, otherwise the emperor would be contaminated by filth and affect the country's destiny, and the empress could not bear it. But before her persuasion, Shi Nanxi, who was lying on the delivery bed, shook off Kangxi's hand.

"Your Majesty, please get out of here. I don't want you to see my hideous and ugly appearance. Otherwise, I won't give birth to my child."

Kangxi didn't care about his hand being thrown away. He was anxious. The baby was about to be born. How could he not give birth halfway? That would be very dangerous. He hurriedly said:

"Okay, okay, I'll leave right away. I'll leave right away."

Then Kangxi walked out of the delivery room step by step. As soon as he stepped over the threshold, his legs went weak. Fortunately, Liang Jiugong supported him in time.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" He was startled and was about to call the imperial physician. Kangxi shook his head, stood up again and looked at the closed door.

"I'm fine."

At this time, Liang Jiugong also realized that the emperor's legs were just weak, and he felt relieved and then wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside and the delivery will take a long time. Let's wait in the flower hall."

The cold air outside made Kangxi sober up a little, and his eyes were fixed on the delivery room.

"No, I'll wait here."

However, it was icy and snowy outside, and Liang Jiugong was afraid that Imperial Noble Consort Xian would give birth inside while the Emperor would freeze outside.

They began to persuade the emperor earnestly, and finally persuaded him to go to the flower hall, but Kangxi could not sit down at all and walked back and forth in the room.

After an unknown amount of time, he still didn't hear Shi Nanxi's cry. He suddenly stopped and couldn't help but said:

"Liang Jiugong, go and have a look, why is there no sound at all?"

Liang Jiugong ran out quickly.

In the delivery room, Nanny Yang stood next to the midwife, observing the mother's condition while watching the midwife's movements.

Hongying stood in front of the empress, watching the palace servants in the room and arranging all matters.

Zixia and Azao were waiting at the door of the delivery room for dispatch at any time. In addition, Xiaoruzi and Zhou Rong were in the small kitchen, boiling water and preparing meals. These had been arranged and rehearsed many times in advance, and everything was in order at this moment.

Shi Nanxi was lying on the bed in the delivery room, and she only had one feeling: pain. It was so painful that she had never felt such pain before. Even when she was hit by a car in her previous life, she had never felt such pain. She felt like her whole body was being split in half.

Why is giving birth so painful? She grabbed Hongying's hand tightly. Hongying quickly wiped the sweat off her mother's face and looked at the midwife.

"Madam Jiang, how many fingers are dilated now? When can she give birth?"

One of the midwives lifted the cloth and looked at it and said:

"Your Majesty has already opened three fingers, which is considered fast. The speed of opening will increase. When it reaches five fingers, you can start preparing for childbirth. But Your Majesty has no strength left, so you can have something to eat at this time."

Nanny Yang knew the production process. After hearing this, she quickly asked Zixia to go to the small kitchen to get a bowl of noodles.

When Zixia went out, she happened to meet Liang Jiugong. She simply answered Liang Jiugong's questions and then hurried to the small kitchen. Liang Jiugong also hurried back to report to the emperor.

Afterwards, Shi Nanxi ate a bowl of noodles to replenish her energy, and then she regained the strength to continue opening her fingers.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but the midwife’s words “you can give birth now” brought Shi Nanxi back to life.

But then a more painful feeling than before came over her. Shi Nanxi bit the handkerchief handed to her by Hongying, and while listening to the midwife's urging, she pushed hard, sweating profusely.

"My queen, use more force, use more force, I can see the little prince's head."

Shi Nanxi was in so much pain that she felt a little dazed, and her strength gradually weakened. Nanny Yang was always paying attention to the condition of the queen, and seeing this, she quickly said:

"Quick, go to the storehouse and get some ginseng for the queen to hold in her mouth."

A Zao went to change the hot water. Xia Hong, another palace maid selected by Dan Ningju to enter the delivery room, ran out quickly. After a while, she lifted the curtain and came in holding a piece of ginseng. She lowered her eyes slightly and walked quickly towards Hong Ying.

"Sister Hongying, the ginseng slices have arrived."
