Golden Branch

"Meet the princess!"

"Greetings, Princess!"

Wang Heng walked quickly into the main courtyard, and the female members of the Xiao family came to greet her.

They bowed and saluted, and were very polite.

In addition to the usual etiquette of aristocratic families, they also respected Wang Heng, the Princess of Langya.

Tsk, this person is the one who dares to whip Zhou Yanluo in public.

This is not the most important thing. The most amazing thing is that after Zhou Jiming came to power, he did not take revenge on Princess Langya.

Tsk tsk, Zhou Jiming is not a magnanimous gentleman.

He is very petty and vindictive.

Just by looking at how he treats his first wife's family, you can tell that he is not really a good person who repays evil with kindness.

In addition, the officials and clerks who deliberately targeted Zhou Jiming when he first entered the Dali Temple were also retaliated against after Zhou Jiming came to power.

However, Zhou Jiming only let Princess Langya go.

It’s not that he is tolerant and pity the beauty, but Princess Langya is not someone to be trifled with!

In the past two or three months, the imperial palace and even the entire capital city have been in turmoil. Not to mention the families involved in the case, even some unrelated families have been implicated.

There were also concubines in the harem who offended the sage because of their careless behavior or arrogance due to their favor, and were subsequently punished.

Only Concubine Jiang, no matter how fierce the storm is, her position as the most favored concubine will never be shaken.

The sage was angry and furious, and in the entire harem, only two people could appease him: Queen Li and Concubine Jiang.

However, Empress Li was in poor health, and even though she had the help of Dr. Li to take care of her, she still could not be stimulated.

Therefore, if the sage had any displeasure, he would not show it in front of Queen Li.

Concubine Jiang became the only eloquent woman who could comfort the saint.

Far from being affected by the storm, she further consolidated her position as the favorite concubine.

As the daughter of Concubine Jiang, Princess Langya naturally enjoyed more honor.

In addition to Concubine Jiang, Princess Langya also teaches the Ninth Prince and the Emperor's grandson of the Eastern Palace.

"...No wonder Zhou Yanluo didn't take revenge on Princess Langya. Although she's not of royal blood, she's been blessed by the emperor. With such favor, who would dare to provoke her?"

The dignitaries discussed and sighed secretly.

The knowledge that Wang Heng was favored and even feared Zhou Yanluo also spread to the Changle Marquis Mansion.

The women of the Xiao family: ...We can’t afford to offend such a noble person! We really can’t afford to offend!

Therefore, even for Princess Langya, the many top people in the Xiao family did not dare to do anything tricky when Wang Mian was giving birth.

Uh, well, even if they really meant ill, they couldn't do it.

Wang Mian is not someone who can be bullied easily.

Zheng Shisan was able to use his power as steward to firmly control the entire Rui Wang Mansion in his own hands, let alone Wang Mian, who was more capable and had more capital?

Unlike Zheng Shisan and Yang Shou who live together, Wang Mian and Xiao Wuzhi are true love.

Xiao Wuzhi would stand firmly on Wang Mian's side without any reason, giving Wang Mian the confidence to gain a foothold in her husband's family to the greatest extent.

Wang Mian also had wealth that rivaled that of a country, close ties with the Eastern Palace, and Wang Heng, the eldest daughter-in-law.

Less than three months after Wang Mian married into the Marquis's Mansion, she had taken control of the entire mansion.

Later, she became pregnant with Xiao Wuzhi's child, which made her more confident.

Her own territory, just the main courtyard of the east road, has long been managed by Wang Mian like an iron barrel.

From slaves to housekeepers, from the outer courtyard accountant to the inner courtyard manager, all of them followed Wang Mian's lead.

Trying to infiltrate? Trying to bribe?

Oh, that’s impossible!

There were also female doctors, midwives, and even wet nurses that Wang Mian would need for delivery. Wang Mian had kept them in the yard several months in advance.

Their families are also under Wang Mian's control.

The food, clothing and other aspects of these people are all strictly controlled, leaving absolutely no possibility of tampering.

Today, the delivery finally started. Before Wang Mian entered the delivery room that had been prepared in advance, she also made many arrangements.

1. Order someone to take Xiao Wuji's business card, knock on the door, and go to the princess's mansion to report the news.

Second, summon the guards, secret guards, etc. to protect the main courtyard on the east road tightly.

Third, keep a close eye on everyone coming in and out of the delivery room to prevent any possible "accidents".

Fourth, prepare in advance the thousand-year-old ginseng slices that she had purchased at a high price, as well as the pills that Li Mingtang left for her before he left.

...Wang Mian gave instructions one by one in a cold voice, and the servants carried them out in an orderly manner.

The whole courtyard is busy but not chaotic.

Even if some people in the Xiao family wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, they couldn't do anything.

What's more, they neither dare nor can they do it!

The women of the Xiao family: ...Hehe, do you think your life is too long?

The key point is that Wang has no life-and-death feud with them, nor any conflict of interest.

She is the legitimate wife of the Crown Prince, and the child she bears is also the legitimate flesh and blood of the Xiao family.

Why did they want to murder them and their children?

Wang Heng didn't know what the women of the Xiao family were thinking. Seeing them saluting her, she casually waved her hand.

She walked up the stairs without stopping and came to the corridor outside the delivery room.

“Mmm~Mmm~~”

Through the door, Wang Heng vaguely heard suppressed moans.

It’s Amian!

Wang Heng's heart was gripped.

She raised her leg to go inside, but was stopped by the servants.

"Princess, the delivery room is filthy, you can't go in there!"

This is the narrow perception of some people.

The fact is, the delivery room needs to be cleaner.

Outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission to contaminate the delivery room.

Having been with Wang Mian for more than ten years, Wang Heng has long understood the concept of "sterility".

The servants' words woke Wang Heng up: Yes, I just came in from outside and was covered in dust, so it was not convenient for me to enter the delivery room.

Furthermore, Wang Heng was not a professional doctor. She was delicate and pretentious. If she entered the delivery room, she would not only be of no help, but might even be a hindrance.

"Amian! I'm here! Just focus on giving birth!"

Wang Heng paused and shouted loudly towards the door of the delivery room.

Wang Mian, who was enduring labor pains, was sweating profusely and was a little dazed.

Faintly, she heard a familiar voice, and her confused mind instantly became clear.

"Ajiu is here!"

Very good!

With her husband away and her parents and relatives unreliable, Wang Mian was feeling miserable and helpless when her eldest daughter-in-law came.

As long as Ajiu is around, she will be fine!

Wang Mian's chaotic and floating heart calmed down in an instant.

"Ok!"

Enduring the severe tearing pain, Wang Mian struggled to spit out a word from his throat.

Wang Mian's servant was very perceptive. Seeing Wang Heng guarding the door, she brought a Hu couch without waiting for orders.

Wang Heng sat down directly, with an air of a gatekeeper.

It's definitely the case of "one man guarding the pass against ten thousand men."

The women of the Wang family: "...Princess, you don't have to be like this! The Wang family is not our enemy. We won't and dare not do anything."

Even if they wanted to murder someone, they would do it secretly.

Could it be that they were going to break down the door with force and rush in shouting and killing?

Wang Heng ignored other people's criticisms and sat outside the door, releasing all the majesty of a noble lady and a royal princess.

Her aura immediately rose, and she didn't need to shout or threaten with words. The midwives and nurses in the delivery room, as well as the servants coming in and out, all felt it.

They knew very well that if anything happened to Madam Wang Shao and her children, Princess Langya would hold them accountable.

Regardless of whether they were the ones behind it or whether it was related to them, Princess Langya would rather kill them by mistake than let them go.

Princess Langya did not call for fighting or killing, but she made everyone feel the threat of death.

This person is a top-level official who regards human life as worthless and dares to kill people indiscriminately!

She is extremely beautiful, but also extremely domineering and willful.

No one dared to doubt Wang Heng's cruelty and brutality.

The midwives, female doctors, and others all felt an invisible but sharp knife pressed against their necks.

If they were careless, they would die today.

"Young Madam, push harder! Push harder!"

"It's already six fingers open, and I can see the baby's head!"

"...Young Madam, please don't shout. Save your energy!"

"You follow my instructions, inhale~exhale~inhale~"

Two midwives and two female doctors surrounded Wang Mian and tried their best to assist her in the delivery.

Wang Mian was covered in sweat, and the veins on his forehead, neck, and back of his hands were bulging.

She bit her lower lip hard and followed the midwife's instructions, adjusting her breathing and applying appropriate force.

She didn't know how long it had been, it seemed like a lifetime. Finally, with a sudden force, something slipped out.

"It's born! It's born! It's a little boy!"

"There's one more! Madam, don't give up, let's continue!"

When Wang Heng heard the word "born", her eyes instantly lit up.

Very good!

Amian finally gave birth to a child successfully, and then the second one... A quarter of an hour later, Wang Heng heard another baby cry.

Finished giving birth?

Where is Amian?

Are you safe?

Wang Heng subconsciously wanted to stand up. Seeing this, Bai Zhi beside her quickly reached out to support her.

It was not until she stood up that Wang Heng realized that her legs were a little weak.

However, before she could help Bai Zhi into the delivery room, she heard someone inside exclaim, "There's another one!"

Wang Heng was stunned. Not twins, but triplets?

In ancient times, twins were already a rare auspicious sign, and if it was triplets... it was definitely a good omen!

Wang Heng: ...As expected of the heroine, she's truly amazing! Three babies in one pregnancy, an extraordinary person!
