The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

At dusk, the cervix was finally fully dilated and I could start giving birth.

Yun Zhining is just a little girl, not Qi Yejing's legal wife or the queen of Daye. He will definitely not stay here and wait for her to give birth to the child.

Yun Zhining also knew this, but she just felt uncomfortable. She was giving birth here at the risk of her life. Qi Yejing didn't have to stay with her until the end, but at least he should have sent a nanny to come in and take a look at her. But he didn't do anything. How could she feel comfortable?

But she soon figured it out. It was her fault. She knew that Qi Yejing was the emperor and would not be attracted to any woman, but because of the child in her belly, she had a little fantasy about him. She hoped that he would look at her more for the sake of the child. So she forgot that he already had two sons and the one in her belly was not a son, so he naturally would not take it to heart.

Forget it. She still needs to put herself in the right position in the future and not have those unrealistic fantasies, so as not to go to extremes and forget the purpose of her entering the palace.

She wanted to get pregnant, have children, climb up step by step, gain favor, become the empress dowager, get rid of Yun Fulan and the Earl of Yuanchang and his wife, so that her mother and brother would have no worries at all and live safely and healthily until old age. As for Qi Yejing, he was just a tool for her to achieve her goals and she didn't need to take him to heart at all.

After preparing herself mentally, Yun Zhining's mood instantly improved a lot. She silently repeated her purpose, exerting force over and over again, pushing the baby out of the birth canal little by little.

"Wow!"

The darkness gradually dissipated, the morning light was dim, and the morning sun began to appear. Suddenly, a cry was heard in the hall, and everyone outside the hall became tense.

"Squeak!"

The palace door opened and the midwife came out holding the baby.

"Congratulations, Queen. Congratulations, Queen. Ming Xiaoyi has given birth to a little princess. Both mother and daughter are safe."

"Okay, everyone will be rewarded."

"Thank you, Queen."

Seeing Yun Zhining give birth to a daughter with their own eyes, everyone's hearts settled down, and their eyes softened as they looked at the little princess.

There is no way. People in the harem are so realistic. Even if the princess is favored, she will never inherit the throne in the future. If you treat her well, maybe she can attract the emperor's attention. Once she is favored, she will have the chance to give birth to a prince. Why not do it?

After playing with the little princess for a while, the queen handed her to Concubine De beside her.

"Okay, everyone has been up all night, let's go back and rest first."

"De Fei, although Ming Xiaoyi is not from your Yongshou Palace, since she is temporarily living here, you must fulfill your duties as the head of a palace and take good care of her and the little princess. You should also take care of Zhou Cainu. Don't worry, the emperor and I will remember your contributions and will definitely not be stingy when it comes to rewarding you."

"Don't worry, Queen, I will take good care of them."

"Then I will leave first. If you need anything, please send someone to Fengyi Palace to find me."

"Yes, I would like to send you to the Queen."

After watching the Queen and others leave, Defei carried the little princess in her arms. Yun Zhining had just given birth and was still very weak. She drank two cups of spiritual spring water and was recovering while expelling lochia. When she saw Yun Zhining come in, she quickly stood up to greet her.

"You just gave birth and your body hasn't recovered yet. Just lie down obediently. There's no need to be so polite between us sisters."

Since Concubine De had already said so, Yun Zhining had no choice but to be polite with her and just lay down obediently.

Although it was called lying down, Qingzhu actually just gave her a soft pillow and asked her to lean on the bed, otherwise it would have been too rude.

"Ordinarily, I should have left Yongshou Palace after giving birth, but I am still a little weak now, so I will probably have to stay here for a few more days. I hope Sister Defei will tolerate me."

"If you keep being so polite, I'm really going to get angry."

"You still have to recuperate after the baby is born, so just stay in Yongshou Palace obediently. After the baby is born, the emperor should move you to another palace. Wouldn't it be better for you to go back then?"

"Sister Defei has been so kind to me, I will never forget it. If you need me in the future, I will do my best to help you."

"Okay, okay, it's not that serious."

Concubine De waved her hand and said with a smile.

"If you really want to thank me, just let me have the little princess for a few days. I really like her. Most babies are red and wrinkled when they are born, like little monkeys, but our little princess is white, tender, fragrant and soft when she is born. She is super cute. My heart melts when I take a look at her."

Yun Zhining took one look at the cute little princess and her heart almost melted.

"If Sister Defei doesn't mind her making so much noise, just take her away. I can have some peace and quiet for a few days."

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll help you take care of her for the first few days. When you've recovered a little, I'll bring her over to show you."

"Okay, then there's Sister Lao Defei."

"It's okay, I don't feel tired at all."

Seeing that Concubine De was very happy being coaxed by her daughter, Yun Zhining spoke carefully.

"Sister Defei, may I ask, how is Baozhu now?"

Whenever Zhou Baozhu was mentioned, Concubine De could not help sighing.

"This time, it's all thanks to Zhou Cainu who protected you. If you were bitten by that poisonous snake, I wouldn't be able to see such a lovely little princess."

"The Emperor summoned all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital to see Zhou Cainv, but no one knows where the venomous snake came from. It is extremely poisonous. Even with the efforts of the entire Imperial Hospital, no antidote can be found. We can only find a way to suppress the toxicity and save Zhou Cainv's life."

"In addition, the emperor also said that Zhou Cainu has made great contributions. After you give birth to the child, you will be promoted together with her."

Zhou Baozhu saved her life, but ended up like this. Even if the emperor took into account the huge amount of silver that the Zhou family paid as tribute every year, he would still promote Zhou Baozhu. However, she only gave birth to a princess, so logically she should not be promoted. What is Qi Yejing doing?

Defei seemed to see her confusion and said with a smile.

"According to palace rules, concubines who give birth to princesses will basically not be promoted after giving birth. But you were almost bitten by a poisonous snake this time, and two lives were lost. The emperor will at least comfort you. He will at least move you up one level, and he won't stay where you are."

"Whether or not I get promoted is a minor matter. As long as Baozhu can wake up and live peacefully until old age, I will be satisfied."

"Most definitely."

After chatting for a while, Yun Zhining felt exhausted. She hadn't slept all night and she could hardly open her eyes.

"Sister Defei, can you send Baozhu here? I want to accompany her and pray that she wakes up soon?"

"Sure, I'll ask someone to bring a cot over later. Maybe with you by her side, she'll wake up soon."

"Thank you."

No matter what kind of person she is, at least at this moment she is willing to help Yun Zhining, and Yun Zhining also sincerely thanks her.
