The prince only allowed me to have a baby, so the pressure is a bit high!

Chapter 41 Your little cuties are online!

Buerhe did not participate in the Gold Award Ceremony that year. When she stood up, she could not see the ground one meter away from her. Her huge belly was sticking out far away, and she needed two people to support her when walking, otherwise she would not be able to keep her balance.

But even in this state, Buerhe always insisted on going out for a walk every day. Her mental state and everything else were good, but it was difficult for her to sit down, so Ban Jinjie Yinreng helped her take leave in advance.

After the Golden Award Festival, it was the countdown to Buerhe's delivery. It was just November. Buerhe was having dinner with Yinreng that night. It was the long-lost antique soup, and it smelled delicious. Suddenly, Buerhe cried out "Aiya", which scared Yinreng and a room full of servants and they quickly gathered around Buerhe.

Yinreng: "Buerhe, what's wrong with you? Are you about to give birth?"

It's no wonder the Crown Prince was so alarmed. The due date was drawing closer, and twins are often born prematurely, so the imperial physician had already predicted the birth would be within a few days. For this reason, the Crown Prince, after leaving court for the past two days, stopped staying in the Qianqing Palace and instead returned directly to the Yuqing Palace. Fortunately, Emperor Kangxi understood that the most important thing now was the Crown Princess's safe delivery, so he turned a blind eye to the Crown Prince's laziness.

Bull calmed down for a moment, and when he felt that nothing was wrong, he said, "It's okay, it's okay. The children must have been too active and rolled over in there!"

After hearing that nothing was wrong, the group slowly dispersed and continued with their work. Given the previous calculations, no one was sure that the Crown Princess wouldn't suffer any mishaps during her childbirth. Therefore, the servants in the main courtyard of Yuqing Palace had been tirelessly checking over and over again for the past few days, focusing on the delivery room.

After dinner and bathing, Burhe once again persuaded the prince to go back to the front yard to sleep. She had not been sleeping well in the past few days because she was about to give birth, so the prince could not rest well in the same bedroom with her. She always saw the prince yawning from time to time in the past two days.

Although the emperor doesn't mind the prince's condition these days, don't forget that there are still people in the court who are watching the prince's every move. If one day the prince makes a wrong suggestion due to lack of rest, the other party will be like a shark seeing blood and will not give up until he takes a big bite.

Although she couldn't help the prince in this regard in the previous dynasty, she couldn't delay the prince because of the affairs of the inner palace, right?

Just when Burhe was still trying to persuade the prince earnestly, she suddenly felt a chill in her pants, and then an unbearable urge to urinate came up, which she could not control, and the place where she sat was soon soaked.

The midwife sent by the Empress Dowager had already told him about this situation, and they had rehearsed it for the past two days, but when it really happened, Burhe still couldn't help but tremble for a second.

The next moment, Buerhe stopped trying to persuade the prince to go back to the front yard to rest: "Well, it seems that if you are not going back to the front yard tonight, then you should wait for me in the main yard. I seem to be about to give birth."

One second they were discussing accommodation, and the next the topic had turned to childbirth. Furthermore, Buerhe's tone hadn't changed much, which initially left Yinreng completely bewildered. He was still agreeing, "Oh, she's about to give birth." Then the prince's tone suddenly changed: "She's about to give birth? She's giving birth?" Seeing the princess nod in affirmation, Taizao suddenly sat up and said, "Someone, the princess is about to give birth."

As soon as the words fell, the whole main courtyard immediately became lively. It was all rehearsed. Although the servants were still a little panicked, they were not chaotic. According to the previous arrangements, they checked the delivery room, notified the emperor, the empress dowager, the midwife, Madam Zhang, and boiled water. Everything was in order. The servants even managed to spare some time to serve the prince a cup of hot tea.

But at this time, the prince was like an anxious ant, pacing back and forth at the door of the delivery room, and occasionally lying at the door to listen to the movement inside.

The midwife examined Buerhe and found he was only two fingers dilated, suggesting delivery would take some time. Mrs. Zhang also took his pulse and confirmed the baby's position was perfect, but, like the midwife, it was still too early for delivery. Based on her own experience with childbirth, Mrs. Zhang suggested Buerhe take some supplements to replenish his energy, fearing he wouldn't have enough strength for the actual delivery.

Bull knew that these were all good for him. His stomach didn't hurt too much at the moment and he was a little hungry, so he went to the small kitchen to make a bowl of chicken noodle soup.

Yinreng had been listening to the noises inside from outside, but at first he could hear the sounds of groaning and screaming, but later he could only hear low voices, and only vague breath sounds reached his ears. As for the Crown Princess's voice, there was no sound at all in the end. The more he listened, the more anxious Yinreng became. Why was there no movement?

Just as Yinreng was getting anxious, the door to the delivery room creaked open. Before the maid Qi'er could even stick her head out, the Crown Prince grabbed her and asked, "How's the Crown Princess? Why isn't there any movement?"

The weather was already chilly, and with the door ajar, the cold wind would only whistle in. Qi'er didn't answer the prince's question first, but instead closed the door first, risking her own opinion. Then she replied to the prince's question, "Your Highness, the midwife and Madam Zhang both said it's too early for the actual birth, and asked the master to conserve his strength and be patient for now. That's why there's been no noise in the room for the time being. I'm going to follow your instructions and prepare noodles for you to replenish your strength. Please let me out, Your Highness."

At this moment, Yinreng realized that he had been holding on to the maid's clothes out of nervousness, and quickly let go and urged her repeatedly: "Then go and prepare more, don't let my princess go hungry."

After Qi'er left, the prince's physiological reaction seemed to be "vomiting", as if he had just realized it. Seeing this, He Zhu quickly helped the prince sit down beside him and massaged his chest. This was the most important time for the Crown Princess, and the prince could not lose his composure and cause trouble for no reason.

Kangxi had not slept yet in the Qianqing Palace. He had recently lost the help of the crown prince, his little assistant, and the number of memorials he needed to review every day was twice as many as usual. In addition, Wang, a concubine in the harem, had recently given birth to a little prince for him, and he had to take time out to visit her during the day. As of now, there were only a few memorials left tonight.

So when someone from Yuqing Palace came to inform the Crown Princess that she was about to give birth, Kangxi didn't hesitate and rushed to Yuqing Palace with Liang Jiugong. On the way, he also sent someone to notify Cining Palace and Ciren Palace, but he didn't ask them to come as well, but to prevent them from coming so late.

When Kangxi arrived, Buerhe was in the delivery room, enduring the pain while eating noodles with gusto. The shredded chicken noodles were truly delicious. The Crown Prince was still pacing around the outer room, but because the Crown Princess had just spoken to him through the window, he seemed relatively calm.

The palace servants outside the door bowed and greeted: "Your servants pay their respects to the emperor." Hearing the voice, Yinreng lifted the door curtain and saw the emperor who came in a hurry.

The Crown Prince: "Your son pays his respects to the Emperor."

Emperor: "What's the situation now? Has the Crown Princess given birth?"

The prince said: "Not yet, but the amniotic fluid has broken. Madam Zhang and the midwife said it will take a while before the actual birth."

The Emperor sat at the head of the table and saw that Yuqing Palace had completely returned to its normal routine within a few minutes of his appearance. The mistress was in labor, but no one in Yuqing Palace panicked. Even when he arrived, they only paused their work for a moment, then returned to their own affairs after being called. The entire Yuqing Palace operated smoothly without the mistress.

I had only heard before that this was the first time the emperor saw how Yuqing Palace was managed by Bu'erhe. It was also the first time that Kangxi looked at Bu'erhe seriously after ignoring her fate and family background. A woman with pure personal ability after taking off those halos was worthy of being the woman that the prince respected. She was also the person that the empress dowager praised as the most like Empress Renxiao.

Shortly after the emperor took his seat, people came from the Cining Palace and the Ciren Palace respectively. The difference was that it was Su Malagu who came to take charge of the Cining Palace, while it was the empress dowager who came to visit the Ciren Palace in person.

The birth of a child by the Crown Princess is both a family affair and a state affair, especially when the Crown Prince can only have one woman, the Crown Princess, in his life, which is even more concerning.

At the hour of Hai, Burhe finally couldn't bear it any longer and began to cry out in pain. The prince, who had been sitting there obediently waiting with the emperor, immediately stood up, scaring the empress dowager and the emperor.

After a sound, the delivery room fell silent again. The Crown Prince, ignoring the Emperor's presence, leaned over the door to peer inside. However, the delivery room was still some distance away, and even with his hands and knees pressed against the door, he couldn't see a single movement. Seeing the Crown Prince like this, Kangxi felt humiliated, but the Empress Dowager smiled with relief.

Perhaps the cervix was dilated and the baby was about to come out. Burhe's voice could no longer be controlled and became louder and louder. The door of the delivery room also opened. A palace maid came out with a basin of blood, and someone else came in with warm water.

The basin of blood froze Yinreng in place. When the palace maid brought the blood over, the prince lost control and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, He Zhu was quick-witted and supported the prince, preventing him from making a fool of himself.

Kangxi couldn't stand his son's disgraceful appearance any more, so he waved his hand and ordered the guards to forcibly take the prince out of the outer room. He then said to the Empress Dowager and Su Malagu, "I will take the prince to the main hall to wait for news. I won't cause any more trouble here. I'll have to trouble the Empress Dowager and Aunt Su Malagu."

The Queen Mother and Su Malagu nodded, and then continued to sit there waiting.

Fortunately, Buerhe's children felt sorry for their mother and did not let Buerhe suffer. When it was almost midnight, only a "wa wa" cry was heard, followed by the midwife's cry in the room: "It's born, it's born."

The Empress Dowager and Su Ma immediately stood up alertly, and even Kangxi and Yinreng, who were waiting in the main hall, trotted over.

Before the prince could ask why the baby had not been brought out to see, another "wa wa" baby cry was heard, and then a voice came from inside the house: "It's born, the second one is born too."

Everyone stared at the delivery room eagerly for a long time. The door finally opened amidst everyone's eager eyes. Two midwives came out happily, each holding a swaddling cloth. Seeing the nobles outside, they quickly greeted and congratulated them: "Congratulations to the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Crown Prince. The Crown Princess has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl."

When the news came out, not only the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince were ecstatic, but even Kangxi was relieved. He was very troubled by the fact that the Crown Princess was pregnant with twins. No matter who spread the rumor and why, it cast a shadow in his heart.

What if the Crown Princess really gave birth to two boys who looked exactly the same? Throughout history, it has never been heard that the royal family would leave behind a prince who looked exactly like the heir. The monarch, above all others, can only be the only one.

It's not that he hadn't thought about eliminating one of the twin boys if they looked the same, but in the past two years he had come to believe Master Pu Du's words more and more. Just look at how many schemes the Crown Princess had been involved in along the way, yet she had always been stable, while those who had schemed against her had suffered misfortunes one after another.

The Defei who plotted against the Crown Princess was neglected after her true face was discovered by herself; the Fifth Princess who was jealous of the Crown Princess was disliked by the Empress Dowager and married into a Mongolian marriage; even the Grand Empress Dowager was implicated this time. After the last matter was resolved, the Imperial Physician Liang who checked the Grand Empress Dowager's pulse told the Emperor that the Grand Empress Dowager's pulse began to weaken again, and at a faster rate than before.

But Master Pu Du clearly said that the Empress Dowager could live another five or six years if she replenished her Phoenix Qi, and half of these six years is still left.

He was afraid of the Empress Dowager. If he really did such a thing, he was also afraid that these so-called bad luck would happen to him.

Walking up to the midwife, Kangxi took the baby boy. Unlike other newborn babies who were rosy and looked like little monkeys, the twins born by the Crown Princess were fair and tender when they were born, with thick black hair, and looked very beautiful. Especially the little prince in Kangxi's arms, who blinked a few times under Kangxi's gaze. His adorable appearance almost melted Kangxi's heart.
