Time flies like a white horse passing by, and in the blink of an eye it is already the first day of October.

Kunning Palace

Qingyao said slowly, "Madam Ling, have all matters been arranged thoroughly and properly?"

Matron Ling reported respectfully, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Everything has been arranged perfectly and there will be no problems."

Qingyao nodded slightly and whispered softly, "That's good."

Madam Hesheli said softly, "My dear, you can rest assured. Everything has been properly arranged."

Qingyao said respectfully, "Thank you, mother, for taking the trouble to come into the palace and accompany me."

Mrs. Hesheli comforted her gently, "Silly child, why do you say that? Since you are my flesh and blood, everything I do for you is only natural. Why should I thank you?"

Just as Qingyao was about to speak, an inexplicable warmth suddenly came over her.

Madam Hesheli spoke softly and asked with concern, "Qingqing, is there anything wrong with you?"

Qingyao opened her cherry lips slightly, looking a little nervous, and whispered to Madam Hesheli: "Mother, it seems that my daughter's water broke."

Madam Hesheli remained composed, calmly and decisively issuing orders: "Madam Ling, quickly call the imperial physician and midwife. Chunyu, you and I will work together to safely carry the Empress to the delivery room and ensure everything is safe."

Qingyao whispered, "Chunyu, remember to go to the Qianqing Palace and report this matter to His Majesty."

Chunyu: "Your Majesty, I have taken note of this." Together with the lady, she helped the Majesty to the delivery room and ordered people to go to the Cining Palace and Ningshou Palace respectively.

In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Kangxi learned that Qingyao was about to give birth. He immediately put aside his busy government affairs and hurried to the Kunning Palace.

At the same time, the Grand Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother also heard the news and both of them personally went to Kunning Palace, looking forward to the birth of the legitimate son.

Kunning Palace

As soon as Kangxi stepped into Kunning Palace, he heard a baby crying. His heart tightened and his pace involuntarily quickened, and he quickly came to the outside of the delivery room.

Madam Hesheli gently held the swaddling clothes and slowly walked out of the delivery room. She nodded slightly, saluted respectfully to the people waiting outside the door, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I congratulate you. Your Majesty has safely given birth to a little prince."

Kangxi said gently, "I am deeply grateful to you, mother-in-law, for taking the trouble to come and accompany me. May I ask how I am doing? Are you all right?" Madam Hesheli said softly, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Both you and your child are doing well. The delivery room is being properly cleaned up."

Kangxi said: "As long as you are safe and sound, I will be very relieved."

Kangxi took the swaddling clothes and held it carefully in his arms, his eyes full of love. He looked down at the little guy and couldn't help but smile.

The Grand Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother also came forward and looked at the newborn with joy.

At this moment, the delivery room was as clean as before. The swaddling clothes in Kangxi's arms were gently handed to Liang Jiugong. He instructed: "Liang Jiugong, take this little prince out safely and make sure the palace people take good care of him." After that, he took firm steps and walked into the delivery room.

Qingyao lay exhausted on the couch, her brows revealing an unconcealable weariness. Suddenly, she heard footsteps approaching. She opened her eyes slightly and whispered in surprise, "Husband, how come you are here?"

Kangxi frowned slightly, his concern evident in his words: "My dear, are you well?"

Qingyao said softly, "Don't worry, my dear husband. I am in good health, just a little tired."

Kangxi nodded slightly, revealing a look of relief. "I am deeply comforted," he said. "You should rest assured and recuperate during your confinement period. I will be here every day to accompany you and help you through this time."

Qingyao opened her red lips slightly and asked with a hint of curiosity, "By the way, husband, has our little Fourteenth child got a name yet?"

The Queen Mother smiled kindly and said, "This child's cry is so loud that it shakes the roof tiles. He will become a great man in the future and will bring glory to the royal family."

The Empress Dowager was extremely pleased and bestowed generous rewards as a token of her favor, and she hoped that the little prince would grow up healthily and enjoy a long life of blessings.

The whole palace was filled with joy, with lights and decorations, and everyone was in a festive mood, celebrating the arrival of a new life in the royal family.
