The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

In the blink of an eye, the delivery period was approaching. Yinzhen had to run official duties and take care of Rouyin at home these days. He was so tired that he lost more than half of his weight. Kangxi knew that the fourth wife was about to give birth, so he deliberately reduced his official duties. However, Yinzhen was still too nervous to fall asleep, and even vomited and had panic attacks. After taking his pulse, the court doctor confirmed that it was because of excessive nervousness that Concubine Fu had a false pregnancy, and she could only take some tranquilizers to relieve the pain.

The day Rouyin gave birth was in early winter, and the weather was not too cold. Yinzhen and Madam Lin sat outside the courtyard nervously, getting up from time to time to anxiously inquire about Rouyin's delivery.

Doctor He sat on a small stool at one side, watching the movements inside carefully from time to time. Although he was confident in Fu Jin's strong body, childbirth for women was a matter of life and death, and there were countless dangers involved. Moreover, Fu Jin was pregnant with triplets, and multiple births were even more dangerous. He pinched himself from time to time, fearing that he would fall asleep again after being too nervous.

Rouyin, who was in the room, had already taken the pills for normal delivery and pain-free delivery. If she hadn't been afraid of giving birth too quickly and being noticed, she would have given birth long ago. She even had the leisure to eat a bowl of pumpkin sweet soup to relieve her hunger from not having time to eat in the morning.

The midwife waiting on the side secretly sighed that this lady was really tolerant. The noble ladies she had received in the past could not even drink soup when they were giving birth, let alone eat anything.

An hour later, Rouyin felt that the time was almost up and slowly began to relax. The midwife instructed the maid to bring hot water and scissors in an orderly manner, and the wet nurse beside her also stood by obediently.

Soon, basins of blood were taken out, and basins of clean water were brought in. Yinzhen looked at the bright red blood and felt his eyes were burned. He frowned and worriedly asked Su Peisheng to find out what was going on inside. Mrs. Lin on the side also nervously tightened the handkerchief in her hand.

Perhaps sensing their anxiety, the first cry of a baby was heard a short while later. The nurse came out with a red swaddling cloth in her arms, beaming with joy, "Congratulations, Lord Beile, congratulations, Madam Lin, your wife has given birth to her first little prince."

Less than half an hour later, another baby cry was heard, and the second little prince was born. The prepared nurse simply cleaned up the child and took him out to congratulate.

The third child didn't wait for time, and just as the older brother came out, he came out again. The midwife, who thought there was still a while, was thrown into disarray, and hurriedly picked up the third baby. After all, the midwife had experienced big scenes, and although she lamented that the fourth lady gave birth too quickly, she managed to do her job steadily. She thought it was over and was about to send someone out to inform.

Rouyin grabbed her hand and said, "Mammy, I feel like there's another one in my belly."

The midwife who was delivering the baby was shocked when she heard this. Wasn't the fourth wife pregnant with triplets? She forced herself to calm everyone down and said, "Mrs. Fujin, please talk less and save your strength."

Rouyin pretended to call out weakly a few times, and the last baby was born safely, and the fourth baby's cry was also heard.

Yinzhen, who was standing outside, was a little confused. Why did he hear four baby cries? He turned his head and looked at Su Peisheng, who was also confused when he heard it. An incredible joy flashed through his heart.

After the door of the warm room in the east courtyard was opened, the midwife and three wet nurses came out, each holding a swaddling cloth.

"Congratulations, Lord Prince, congratulations, Madam Lin, the Fourth Concubine has given birth to four little princes!" The midwife's face was full of smiles. Since this Concubine had given birth to good children, she would definitely get a reward.

"Rewards! Everyone in the courtyard will get rewards!" Yinzhen was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He and Madam Lin quickly walked forward to check on the four little princes. The surprising thing was that although the four little princes were born from the same birth, their appearances were different.

Doctor He, who was standing by, had already come to his senses from the fact that the wife was pregnant with quadruplets. He immediately stood up to check on the four little princes. As soon as he put his hand on them, he felt the strong pulse of the little princes. He took their pulses one by one, and then smiled and said, "Congratulations, Lord Beile and Madam Lin. Although the four little princes are small in size, they are strong and healthy, and will surely grow up smoothly."

Yinzhen was relieved, and Mrs. Lin beside him was also excited beyond restraint. Her daughter had five sons and one daughter, including this one. Even if her daughter looked evil, those with ulterior motives would not dare to touch her. Even if her daughter committed a serious crime, she would be safe for the sake of the little prince and princess. She had completely let go of her worries about her daughter's appearance.

Yinzhen was about to go into the house to see Rouyin, but was stopped by the equally anxious Madam Lin. His mother-in-law was also worried that the emperor would find out and blame him because of the ancestral teachings, so he could only wait outside obediently. Anyway, he was relieved that his mother-in-law went in, not to mention that she would have to leave in a few days, and he couldn't snatch her daughter from her.

Although Rouyin took the pain-relieving pill, it could not completely eliminate the effects of childbirth. She now felt only about 10% of the pain at most. Although she was a little tired, this made it easier to avoid the possibility of pretending to be discovered.

When Mrs. Lin came in, she saw her daughter resting with her eyes closed, and she touched her daughter's head distressedly. Rouyin had already noticed someone coming in, and she thought it was Nanny Wang, so she continued to close her eyes and rest until she felt someone gently touching her head, and then she opened her eyes.

She was a little surprised and said, "Why is mother here? Mother has been working very hard recently and should rest more."

"As a mother, how can I rest alone after Yin'er gave birth to her? Don't worry about me. As long as you and your children are well, I will be well too!" Mrs. Lin looked at the tired and weak Rouyin lovingly, her eyes full of heartache. This was the beautiful and smart little girl she had nurtured from a small ball after ten months of pregnancy.

"Yin'er already has six children now. As long as we raise them well, everything will be fine in the future. Don't worry about anything else."

"Okay, mother, I understand." Rouyin answered obediently.

Rouyin knew that Madam Lin was completely on her side and considering her, so she shouldn't care too much about other favors. If Yinzhen changed his mind, she still had her children to rely on. Rouyin sighed that her original body had forgotten that she had a mother at home who was sincerely worried about her because of the loss of Honghui. Perhaps she was too proud and did not dare to face her loving mother. The two had not met since Yinzhen ascended the throne. It was a pity that Madam Lin had a kind heart that was always thinking about her daughter until her death.

Mrs. Lin stayed with her daughter for a while longer, and when she saw her daughter yawn, she prepared to leave quietly. Before leaving, she reminded Liu Qing to heat up the food every hour so that Rouyin could eat as soon as she woke up.
