I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

Inside the princess's mansion, the delivery room was filled with Concubine Jiang's painful moans.

Lin Qinshuang held Jiang Cairen's hand tightly, encouraging and comforting her: "Don't be afraid, it will be fine soon, take a deep breath..."

Although her voice was calm, beads of sweat appeared on her palms.

As time passed, Jiang Cairen's painful moans became louder and louder, and Lin Qinshuang's heart was in her throat.

She kept praying, hoping that Jiang Cairen and the child would be safe.

Finally, a loud cry broke through the sound of wind and rain.

A new life came into this world.

Lin Qinshuang's heart finally settled down. She breathed a sigh of relief and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

She quickly wrapped the baby up, then hurried out the door and shouted to the eunuch who came to report the news, "Quick, tell the emperor that Concubine Jiang has given birth to a prince!"

Her voice trembled with excitement. "Six pounds and seven ounces, mother and child are safe!"

The eunuch took the order and rushed to the palace.

Inside the palace, the emperor paced back and forth anxiously, waiting for news from the Princess's Mansion.

Ever since Jiang Cairen moved into the Princess's Mansion, he has been concerned about her safety day and night, and is looking forward to the arrival of this child.

Inside the bedroom, the flickering candlelight illuminated the emperor's anxious face.

"Why is there still no news? Did something unexpected happen?" The emperor muttered to himself, his heart full of worry.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard outside the hall.

The eunuch ran in breathlessly and knelt on the ground with a thud: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

He raised his head excitedly, "Jiang Cairen gave birth to a prince, weighing six pounds and seven ounces, and both mother and child are safe!"

When the emperor heard the news, he was stunned at first, then he laughed out loud: "Good! Good! Good!"

He was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, "I finally have a son!"

He walked quickly to the outside of the imperial study, looked up at the starry sky, his heart filled with joy and hope, "The Song Dynasty has a successor!"

His laughter echoed in the silent night sky for a long time.

In the Princess's Mansion, Lin Qinshuang carefully carried the prince to Jiang Cairen.

"Look, your child is so cute."

Jiang Cairen smiled weakly, her eyes filled with maternal light.

She stretched out her trembling hands and gently stroked the baby's little face, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.

"Thank you, Princess Fuxi." Jiang Cairen said softly, with a hint of gratitude in her voice.

Lin Qinshuang looked at the heartwarming scene in front of her and felt a little relieved.

In the golden autumn of October, the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant and the palace is filled with joy.

The news that Concubine Jiang had checked into the Princess's Mansion to give birth had already spread throughout the capital. Now that mother and child were safe and the prince was born, the whole country was celebrating.

The emperor was delighted and immediately issued an edict to promote Jiang Cairen to the rank of Imperial Concubine, and to appoint the one-month-old prince as Crown Prince, naming him Zhao Chenyu.

After the imperial edict was read, the entire princess's mansion was in an uproar.

Lin Qinshuang respectfully accepted the imperial edict and thanked him, secretly rejoicing in her heart: This Concubine Jiang is so lucky. She became a noble concubine because of her son, and her own daughter also benefited from it.

The imperial edict also specifically mentioned that Princess Fuxi had made great contributions in taking care of the imperial concubine during her childbirth, and she was rewarded with 100 taels of gold and some jewelry, and her daughter Sheng Molan was given the title of Princess Anle.

Lin Qinshuang kowtowed again to express her gratitude, and took the imperial edict with trembling hands. She felt that the bright yellow silk was so heavy that it almost made her breathless.

The sunlight shone through the window lattice onto the imperial edict, and the golden words shone brightly, as if heralding the infinite glory of the Sheng family.

She couldn't help but think of Molan's pretty and lovely face, and a smug smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Molan, my daughter, you finally won at the starting line!" She muttered to herself, as if she had already seen her daughter's dazzling appearance in gorgeous clothes and a phoenix crown on her head.

Lin Qinshuang carefully put away the imperial edict and placed it in a gold-painted lacquer box with great care.

She gently stroked the auspicious cloud pattern carved on the lid of the box, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.

The emperor's reward this time can be described as exceptionally generous.

The position of county lady is not something that ordinary people can easily obtain.

This is not only a recognition of her contribution to taking care of Jiang Cairen, but also a favor to the Sheng family.

With the title of county lady, Molan's value doubled, and it was only a matter of time before she found a good marriage.

"It seems that my plan is right. This talented Jiang is really my lucky star!" She whispered to herself, with a shrewd light in her eyes.

She began to think about how to use this opportunity to pave a more glorious path for Molan.

The relationships in Bianjing are complicated. If you want Molan to stand out among the many noble ladies, you must plan carefully.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the mist onto the garden of the princess's mansion, and the flowers, plants and trees were all coated with a golden halo.

The air is filled with the faint fragrance of osmanthus, which is refreshing.

Lin Qinshuang was sitting in the pavilion sipping tea when a maid suddenly came to report that Madam Wang Ruofu was here to visit.

She quickly stood up to greet him, but a trace of uneasiness flashed through her heart.

Since the last incident, although her relationship with Wang Ruofu has eased, there is still a slight distance between them.

This time, Jiang Cairen checked into the Princess's Mansion to give birth, but she did not inform Wang Ruofu in advance. Now that things have become a foregone conclusion, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

Wang Ruofu was dressed in simple and elegant clothes, with a faint smile on her face, and walked towards her slowly.

"Sister, congratulations! I heard that Concubine Jiang gave birth to a prince, and both mother and child are safe. It's truly a cause for celebration!"

Lin Qinshuang hurried forward to support her, a smile on her face: "Sister, please take a seat. This is all thanks to the blessing of His Majesty and the hard work of Concubine Jiang."

She deliberately avoided talking about the fact that she had not told Wang Ruofu in advance, and there was a hint of unnaturalness in her tone.

Wang Ruofu didn't seem to notice her abnormality. After sitting down, she asked with concern, "Are Concubine Jiang and the child okay?"

"It's all fine, all fine, thanks to my sister." Lin Qinshuang answered quickly, but she felt even more uneasy in her heart.

Wang Ruofu's tolerance and magnanimity made her feel even more guilty.

After a period of silence, Lin Qinshuang took the initiative to speak, trying to break the awkward atmosphere.

"Sister, please ask Hualan and Rulan to come over to my place more often in the future." She said sincerely, "The maids in the Princess's Mansion are all sent by the palace. They are proficient in the six arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. You can teach them as well."

When Wang Ruofu heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She knew that Lin Qinshuang's proposal was well-intentioned and was truly for the sake of Hualan and Rulan.

"That's great, thank you for your concern, sister." She shook Lin Qinshuang's hand gratefully. "It's a blessing for Hualan and Rulan to have such an opportunity."

Seeing that Wang Ruofu had no intention of blaming her, Lin Qinshuang finally felt relieved.

She held Wang Ruofu's hand and said sincerely, "Sister, please forgive me for what happened before."

Wang Ruofu patted the back of her hand gently, saying in a gentle tone, "It's all in the past. Let's just get along well with each other from now on."

The two smiled at each other, and the previous estrangement seemed to disappear at this moment.
