The wives of the concubines are empresses

Chen Daren-Lin Xueyu and other imperial physicians rushed to the scene. As the empress's husband and an imperial physician, it was most appropriate for Chen Daren-Lin Xueyu to deliver the baby personally, with other imperial physicians serving as assistants.

"Your Majesty, please hold on. Don't waste too much energy, otherwise it will be difficult to give birth later."

Shangguan Wanjun, who was beginning to feel weak, nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, my beloved concubine and all the imperial physicians."

Aunt Cheng was in charge of the entire production process in the side hall.

"Lianhua, are the scissors and white wine ready?"

"Aunt, it's ready."

"Where's Muxiang? The hot water is here."

"Auntie, we are here." Basins of hot water were brought into the delivery room.

Aunt Cheng looked at Ouhe and said, "Ouhe, you are responsible for keeping an eye on the emperor's condition with the imperial doctors at all times."

"Yes, aunt."

"Liuli, go get some clean clothes and quilts."

"Yes, aunt."

An hour later, Concubine Lu - Liu Haiming hurried back from Jingzhao Yin, sweating profusely.

"How is the Emperor?"

Liu Cheng said, "The Emperor has been inside for an hour, and the imperial physicians are all here. Concubine Lu, please rest assured."

Concubine Lu - Liu Haiming, who faced this situation for the first time, was also very nervous.

The two Empress Dowagers sat in the main hall waiting, and the handkerchief in the hand of the Empress Dowager West was almost torn to pieces.

"Sister, stop walking around. You're making me dizzy."

"Ah..." Hearing the painful groans in the delivery room, Shangguan Wanjun felt like she was about to faint.

"Your Majesty, please try harder."

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace was extremely anxious, so she decided to go to the door of the delivery room and guard it herself.

When everyone saw the two Empress Dowagers coming, they hurriedly saluted.

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager of the East Palace, and to the Empress Dowager of the West Palace."

"No need to be polite. How is the emperor?"

Liu Cheng hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is in great pain."

Empress Dowager Xigong had given birth before and could empathize with the woman. She pushed open the door of the delivery room and strode in.

"Your Majesty, you cannot go in."

"The Empress Dowager..."

Empress Dowager Xigong walked all the way to Shangguan Wanjun and squatted down. Looking at her extremely weak and pale daughter, she felt very distressed.

"My son, you have to be strong. Mother is here."

Shangguan Wanjun suddenly screamed loudly: "Ah..."

"The baby's head is coming out. Hurry, Your Majesty, please try harder."

Shangguan Wanjun pushed hard, and the child was taken out little by little by Zhao Xianyun.

The baby's cry echoed inside and outside the delivery room.

"It's a prince."

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace hurried into the delivery room and looked at the child in Zhao Xianyun's arms, she burst into tears with excitement.

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace glanced at the baby and quickly walked to the edge of Shangguan Wanjun's bed and sat down.

"My prince, did you hear that? It's born. You gave birth to a prince. This is the first prince of our royal family."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled and nodded, then fainted from exhaustion. The two Empress Dowagers were frightened, and the Eastern Empress Dowager cried out in panic.

"Imperial Physician, please take a look at the Emperor."

Chen Daren - Lin Xueyu hurried forward to check Shangguan Wanjun's pulse. Seeing that there was nothing serious, he stood up to report.

"My Queen Mother, the Emperor simply fainted from exhaustion."

Concubine Lu-Liu Haiming felt relieved when she heard his words: I'm glad that the emperor is okay.

Shangguan Wanjun woke up two hours later, and it was already dark.

Concubine Lu - Liu Haiming stayed by the bedside, afraid of missing any movement of Shangguan Wanjun so that he could inform the imperial physician in time.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?"

"Princess Lu, where is the child?"

"Aunt Cheng, bring the child over quickly."

"Hey, here we come."

Looking at the white and chubby baby, Shangguan Wanjun's heart softened.

"So this is what babies are like." This is her first biological child in this world.

Seeing her maternal tenderness, Concubine Lu-Liu Haiming was deeply touched. He reached out and held her delicate and white hand.

"Your Majesty, all babies are like this."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled and nodded: "What name should we give the child?"

During the pregnancy, the couple researched names for their child whenever they had free time.

"How is Mu Cang?"

"That's good. Let's take this one."

Concubine Lu - Liu Haiming said gently: "I listen to the emperor."

A palace banquet was held on the day of the full moon, and the entire palace was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, making it very lively.

When the banquet officially began, the wet nurse came carrying the eldest prince Mu Cang, followed by Aunt Cheng and four guards with strong martial arts skills.

"The eldest prince has arrived!"

Except for Shangguan Wanjun, the two Empress Dowagers and the imperial concubines in the harem, everyone else knelt and kowtowed.

"See the First Prince."

Shangguan Wanjun stepped forward and hugged her son, speaking on his behalf.

"Excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Prince."

The eldest prince Mu Cang only stayed for two quarters of an hour before he was taken away by his wet nurse, Aunt Cheng and others.

Shangguan Wanjun watched her son leave, then turned her gaze to the ministers below.

"Come on, everyone, let's have a drink together."

Taifu Yun and others raised their glasses, clinked them in the air, and Shangguan Wanjun drank it all in one gulp.

The atmosphere at the banquet was excellent, and even the two Empress Dowagers had a few drinks.

After the banquet, Shangguan Wanjun returned to the palace reeking of alcohol. Feeling unwell, she hurried to the bathroom to take a shower.

Liuli asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, is the water temperature suitable?"

"pretty good."

Liuli also specially sprinkled some red roses. After taking a bath, Shangguan Wanjun not only had the fragrance of her body, but also the fragrance of roses. Her hair also had the fragrance of roses, and her whole body was fragrant.

Two years later, Zhang Xinzhuang took the Spring Examination. On this day, Zhao Xianyun took a day off to see him off.

"Xin Zhuang, don't be nervous, stay calm, and let everything take its course."

Faced with her careful instructions, Zhang Xinzhuang nodded silently.

The two waved goodbye, Zhang Xinzhuang silently lined up for inspection, and Zhao Xianyun did not leave until all the candidates entered the examination room.

In the main hall of the Imperial Study, Shangguan Wanjun leisurely and elegantly drank tea and ate snacks and pastries.

"What time is it now?"

Liu Cheng said, "Your Majesty, it's five minutes past four in the morning."

"The exam should have started."

"here we go."

Shangguan Wanjun nodded slightly: Zhang Xinzhuang should be able to pass this time, she thinks her vision is not bad.

Inside the examination room, hundreds of students from all over the country were working hard on their exam questions.

The invigilators this time include Taifu Yun, Yun Yangfan, Concubine Shu - Gao Zihao, Concubine Mei - Hu Siyang, Concubine Hui - Feng Jinghan, and Concubine Bai - Jiang Ruobai. They all drew lots to decide the examination room for invigilation.

Time passed little by little, and Zhao Xianyun returned to Ming Mansion absent-mindedly.

Nanny Fang said, "Doctor Zhao, you're back."

"Madam Fang."

"Hey, that Young Master Zhang is taking the exam?"

"Correct."

The exams took nine days and seven nights. On the day after the exams, the venue was packed with people, most of whom had come to pick up their own candidates, some were family members, and some were servants.

"Xinzhuang, here." Zhao Xianyun raised her hand. Next to her was Minglan, who was also wearing a casual women's dress.

Zhang Xinzhuang was about to collapse, and Zhao Xianyun and Minglan rushed in to support him.

"Xinzhuang, hurry up, let's go out first, it's too crowded here."

Minglan helped to carry him to their carriage, and Zhao Xianyun hurriedly peeled one to feed him.

"Hurry up and eat some candy. The master said eating candy is good for the body."
