The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

In September, when the tail of midsummer is almost gone, the leaves have turned yellow.

The evening breeze in early autumn is cool.

After dinner, Jiang Lingyue took a walk in the imperial garden with the emperor as usual.

The huge palace is quiet.

There were no concubines, no little princes or princesses, and even the number of palace maids and eunuchs was much smaller.

Jiang Lingyue touched her belly, her eyes filled with longing, "Once the baby is born, the palace will be more lively."

She is already nine months pregnant and could go into labor at any time. Her anticipation for the child has reached its peak.

Qi Junyi looked at her bulging belly and his expression was not very good.

After hearing what she said, he said, "If you want to have some fun, you can go to the palaces of some royal princes and choose a few children to bring into the palace to be raised."

It was a common practice throughout the dynasties for the children of royal family members to be raised in the palace.

There is no need to change her name to Yudie, as she is still an heir of the royal palace.

Jiang Lingyue knew this and had no objection. She simply said, "If we are to choose, let's choose a girl. It doesn't matter if she is from the royal family, those from the ministers' families can also be selected to be companions for our child. When the time comes, they can study together and train her to be the next generation of virtuous ministers."

The little princess hasn't been born yet, and she's eager to clear all obstacles for the child.

Let her path to the throne be smooth and without any troubles.

Qi Junyi responded without hesitation, "You have the final say. Whose family to choose and who to choose is up to you, but we have to have a boy too."

Even if the queen is in power, she cannot simply kill male power.

Otherwise, the resistance from students all over the country and from civil and military officials in the court will only be greater.

Appointing people based on their merits is what a ruler should do.

What's more...

Not only wise ministers, but also future emperors must be cultivated from a young age.

You will feel more at ease entering the palace if you know the person well.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky red, and the two of them strolled on the bluestone tiles, talking in low voice.

It was not until the sunset had set and dusk was about to fall that he returned to Ning'an Palace.

It took nearly half an hour to walk there.

Jiang Lingyue sweated a little and went directly to the bathhouse in the back hall to take a bath.

During this special period, she couldn't leave someone by her side, so as long as Qi Junyi was around, they would basically bathe together.

After taking a shower and putting on her pajamas, Jiang Lingyue felt a pain in her lower abdomen and a hot current flowing out.

She tightly grasped the right arm of the person next to her, "...I think I'm about to give birth."

The day calculated by the imperial physician was already approaching, and she had been preparing for more than nine months.

This is the perfect time, the baby is in the right position, and the midwife has prepared several deliveries in a row.

The guards in the palace are as solid as an iron barrel, and there is no possibility of any mistakes.

But Jiang Lingyue's face was still pale, and the knuckles of her hands that were holding his arm were trembling slightly because of the force she was using.

She felt a belated fear.

No matter how good the protection is or how complete the preparation is, it cannot be denied that for a woman, giving birth is like stepping into the gates of hell.

Even though she is the queen.

Qi Junyi's expression was no uglier than hers. He tried his best to calm himself down and helped her into the delivery room.

Seeing the girl on the couch with a bulging belly, her face and lips pale, looking at him with eyes full of nervousness and fear, he felt great pain in his heart.

"Don't be afraid," he put his arm around her shoulders, his eyes red unconsciously, "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine."

But he looked a little more scared.

Jiang Lingyue felt a little distressed and hurriedly held his arm, wanting to say something to comfort him, but a wave of pain came over her and she could only focus on breathing.

She had lived a life of luxury, and even in the Jiang family she had only been treated coldly. How could she have experienced such pain?

She was shaking with pain, and natural tears were falling from the corners of her eyes.

Outside the palace, the palace maids and maids who heard the noise all took action.

Soon a midwife came to ask the emperor to leave.

"Don't worry about me," Qi Junyi was on the verge of collapse and couldn't move away.

Several midwives looked at each other in confusion.

How can the emperor, as the emperor, come to this filthy place in person?

A mammy bravely said again: "The delivery room is filthy, Your Majesty is the supreme ruler..."

"She's screaming in pain, didn't you hear her?" Qi Junyi grabbed the old nanny's neck and shouted, "Are you looking for death? Are you trying to murder the queen? Who do you belong to?"

His eyes turned bloodshot from the mad murderous intent, his sanity was shaky, and time seemed to have gone back to the Lantern Festival.

There was a bloody scene before my eyes.

It was the bloody color of the killing spree he went on after her death.

The finger bones contracted violently, and the midwife was about to die. A painful groan came from the couch.

"Qi Hengzhi!" Jiang Lingyue was in excruciating pain. She gritted her teeth and tugged at his sleeve. "Don't go crazy. It hurts... Go out and don't disturb the maids."

Qi Junyi suddenly came to his senses and shook off his hand.

"Drag him out!"

He looked at the remaining maids and said coldly, "Deliver the Queen."

"Yes!"

No one dared to ask him out anymore.

Jiang Lingyue gritted her teeth and drove him away a few more times because she looked really ugly when she gave birth.

Even without looking in the mirror, she knew that she must be in so much pain that her face was distorted, her hair was disheveled, and she looked a mess.

Most importantly, giving birth with split legs is really... too ugly.

But Qi Junyi seemed to have not heard her and refused to move at all no matter how she urged him.

He would obey her in everything, so it was impossible for him to leave at this time.

Finally, fearing that she would bite him, he pinched her cheek and stuffed a piece of soft brocade into it.

Soon, a stronger wave of pain came, and Jiang Lingyue didn't care whether it was ugly or not.

She is in pain.
