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

The day after the little princess was born.

Guang'an Palace issued an imperial edict, granting amnesty to the whole country.

The sentences of all criminals in Dahan will be reduced or directly exempted according to the regulations.

Most of the inner court officials who were sent out at the beginning of the year to supervise the progress of the women's college have returned to report. Those who have done a good job have been rewarded.

There were a few accidents, but they didn't cause much trouble, and at least no officials were killed in office.

Overall, everything is under control.

In mid-September, the second batch of inner court officials were also released.

This time, Xie An Ning was about to give birth, Xie Wan was a teacher at Xiaoxiang Academy, Wang Shaofu was away, and Ishihara Qing's position in the Ministry of Justice did not allow him to leave Beijing easily, so no one from the Xie family left Beijing.

After an autumn rain, the weather officially turned cooler.

On the fifteenth day of Jiang Lingyue's confinement, Xie An Ning went into labor, but Wang Shaofu did not rush back, as he had broken his promise.

Xie Anning is the second child.

But there is a gap of more than ten years in between, which is no different from being a first-born child, and given the age, it is even more difficult.

Fortunately, she took good care during pregnancy, the fetus in her belly was not big, and the fetal position was correct. In addition, she had experience in childbirth, so Xie An Ning was not as scared as Jiang Lingyue.

The attack happened in the morning, and it happened to be a court meeting. Ishihara Qing had just left for the court, and Xie An Ning, who had just finished breakfast, felt a stomachache.

The child was told to everyone that he was Ishihara's, and everyone believed him.

Mrs. Shi had moved into the Xie family a month ago. When she saw her daughter-in-law was about to give birth, she hurriedly ordered the servants to chase after her to see if they could get their young son back.

He quickly called a few midwives to get busy.

Her father had gone to Liangzhou and never returned, and her mother had given birth to a child at an advanced age. For a sixteen-year-old girl, it was like the sky falling and the earth collapsing.

Fortunately, Madam Shi was in charge. After hearing her orderly instructions, Xie Wan was able to stop panicking.

The sky was covered with dark clouds and it looked like it was going to rain again.

When we can't see the sun, there will always be a layer of gloom in our hearts.

Especially on days like this.

Xie Wan looked at the gate, anxious.

The day her father left, he clearly said that he would come back before her mother gave birth.

Why break your promise?

Is it because things in Liangzhou are complicated, or did something happen on the way?

Or maybe... he blames her and her mother for causing his grandfather's death, so... he doesn't plan to come back.

There was a loud 'boom' and thunder exploded overhead. The sky suddenly darkened, as if night was approaching.

Soon, heavy rain fell.

"What are you doing standing under the eaves? Come inside!" Madam Shi pulled Xie Wan over. "The weather has changed so quickly."

There were shadowy footsteps outside the yard.

Xie Wan looked up.

It was Ishihara Kyo, dressed in a crimson official robe, who ran in amidst thunder and lightning and heavy rain.

Her clothes were soaked by the heavy rain. As soon as she stepped into the door, she didn't even have time to wipe her face before rushing straight to the delivery room. She was stopped by Mrs. Shi who was quick to act.

"What are you doing! An Ning is giving birth in there, and they're all busy. You rushing in and distracting the midwives is causing trouble, isn't that a nuisance?"

"Is An Ning okay?" Ishihara Qing held Madam Shi's arm. "What did the midwife say? Has the doctor come?"

"Don't worry, the baby is in the right position. The doctor is here and waiting in the side hall. There will be no problems."

Seeing her son so anxious, Mrs. Shi was not annoyed at all. Instead, the last trace of doubt in her heart completely disappeared.

It must be her grandson without a doubt!

It doesn't matter even if I'm born with the surname Xie.

As long as it’s her son’s seed, that’s enough.

She breathed a sigh of relief, patted her son, and soothed him, "Go change into clean clothes quickly and don't catch a cold. Women are weakest after giving birth. If you catch a cold, you won't be able to take care of An Ning and the child. Mother will go in and keep an eye on them. I'll make sure your wife and child are safe."

After saying that, she lifted the heavy curtain at the door of the delivery room and was about to walk in.

At this moment, there was another noise outside the courtyard where thunder was roaring.

This time, it was the sound of horse hooves.
