After the empress sealing ceremony was over, Zhao Keran's life became much more leisurely. She was the only woman in the harem, so there would be no messy things at all.

As for the concubines of the Supreme Emperor, they had already been sent out of the palace. Originally, according to the regulations, those concubines should have retired in the palace. But because Situ Lingzhi already knew that Xiao Xiaoxiao was still alive in this world,

So I was afraid that Xiao Xiaoxiao would be estranged from him when he saw these women, so he asked those women to leave the palace. If they have children, they can live with them. If they don't have children, they can go back to their own home.

Go to the family. If you don't want to return to your own home, then go to a palace to retire. No matter which one you choose, he will not stop it.

Faced with such a situation, Zhao Keran was naturally happy to be at peace. If those women had been living in the palace, they would not pose any danger to her, but they would still cause some minor troubles. Now they can all be sent out of the palace.

Go, I'm still happy with it.

And the Queen Mother, oh, no, she is now the Queen Mother. She helped hide the Queen's affairs back then, which led to the estrangement between Situ Lingzhi and Situ Xu now. However, she probably has self-awareness,

So now I spend the whole day in my palace sincerely worshiping the Buddha, and will not leave my palace unless necessary.

Therefore, the most powerful woman in the harem now is Zhao Keran. However, to put it bluntly, she is just in charge of the chores in the harem. Therefore, her life is quite enjoyable.

Time flies by very quickly. Zhao Keran's delivery date is getting closer and closer, and her reaction is getting more and more severe. Because her belly is too big, she can no longer sleep lying down at all, but has to sleep on her side. Moreover,

As the months went by, the fetal movements became more and more frequent, causing her to often have trouble sleeping.

Due to various reasons, Zhao Keran's mood became very bad. He often lost his temper and sometimes even took it out on Situ Xu. But for her bad temper, Situ Xu did not blame her at all, but was very angry.

It's all inclusive.

In his opinion, the woman he loved most was now pregnant with their child, and his tolerance was natural. As the days passed, the tense moment finally arrived.

Late that night, Zhao Keran suddenly felt a pain in her stomach. At first, she thought it was fetal movement, and tried hard to wait for it to calm down, but the pain not only did not subside, but became more and more frequent.

Zhao Keran quickly pushed the person sleeping next to him, "Xu, Xu, wake up quickly."

"What's wrong?" Situ Xu fell into a drowsy sleep and was woken up by someone, "What's wrong? Are your legs cramping again, or are you hungry?"

Originally, when Zhao Keran was just a month old, Situ Xu should sleep in a separate room with her, otherwise it would affect his sleep. However, Situ Xu had been unwilling to take care of her. During this period, he was usually

The reason for waking him up was because Zhao Keran was hungry or had leg cramps. So as soon as he was woken up, he would habitually ask.

"No, I, I'm about to give birth." Zhao Keran held back the pain and said, "Hurry up and call someone now!"

After hearing Zhao Keran's words, Situ Xu was stunned. When he reacted, he quickly got up, faced the door, and immediately shouted, "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly, get the midwife and the imperial doctor together."

Call me all over."

Soon, the lights in Panlong Palace were brightly lit. All the imperial doctors were on standby, and the midwives had already entered the delivery room. Outside the door, Situ Xu and Situ Lingzhi were waiting anxiously. Even the Emperor, who had no longer cared about worldly affairs, was waiting anxiously.

The Queen Mother also came. Xiao Xiaoxiao originally wanted to go in, but because there were too many people inside, she was afraid it would be bad, so she could only wait outside.

As soon as the news came out, Xiao Xiaoxiao hurriedly ran into the palace in the middle of the night. When Situ Lingzhi saw this, of course he followed him.

The delivery room was also in chaos.

After experiencing bouts of pain, Zhao Keran felt wet and a stream of heat gushing out.

The midwife came forward to check and said, "It's time to give birth. The amniotic fluid is about to break."

Everyone immediately got busy. There were maids outside bringing hot water, white cloths, scissors, and all the tools had been washed in boiling water.

Situ Xu and the others were originally guarding outside in the corridor, but because it was already winter and the weather was still quite cold, the people around him kept telling him not to go outside as the birth would probably take several hours.

I'm getting cold again.

Situ Xu kept listening to the screams of pain inside. The screams were very intense at first, but then Zhao Keran stopped screaming. Seeing such a scene, Situ Xu's heart tightened.

"What's wrong? Why didn't the queen shout?" Situ Xu asked nervously.

The maid who came out to bring hot water replied, "It's okay. Miss Shixiang said that this can save energy. After hearing this, the Queen endured the pain and refused to scream anymore. The Queen wanted to save energy, so she can wait a moment.

strength."

Shouting will consume a lot of energy, but people will naturally want to shout when they are in severe pain. Not everyone can bear the pain.

Situ Xu felt excited when he heard this. He wished he could bear the pain with his own body! He finally knew how great it would be for a woman to give birth to a child.

In order to save energy, Zhao Keran endured the pain without shouting and kept quiet. Situ Xu felt distressed, worried, and even more shocked. It turns out that a woman can be so great once she becomes a mother.

It wasn't until he stood outside for half an hour that he went into the next room to wait after everyone's urging. This was mainly because he couldn't bear the shocking blood pouring out from inside and outside, as well as the whimpering inside.

The sound, this feeling of tension and suffocation made his whole body stiff, and he was several times more tired than dealing with political affairs for a continuous day. So he could only hide and walk around the room.

From time to time, Situ Xu would go to the door to inquire. For the first time, he felt that time passed so slowly. At this point, he could do nothing but wait.

The time started at Chou hour and was almost to Chen hour, but there was still no news that the baby had been born. Situ Xu was already anxious and urged people to ask.

Xiao Xiaoxiao had already gone in to take care of Murong Wei, and she was also anxious at this time. She originally wanted to wait outside, but she was still worried, so she finally decided to go in and take a look. Anyway, her medical skills are still very good.

Okay, and I have already given birth to a child, so it will be helpful to some extent if I go in.

The birth canal was opened, and I gave birth with force, but the baby just couldn't come out, and I didn't know why. Xiao Xiaoxiao immediately gave the answer at a glance, that is, the fetal position was incorrect. Even if Zhao Keran kept pushing, there was nothing he could do.

Give birth to the child.

If the fetal position is incorrect, there is only one way now, and that is to use acupuncture. Prick the child directly with the needle. If the child feels pain, it will retract. When the time comes, the child will adjust its position when it retracts.

But because Zhao Keran was carrying the emperor's first child, no one dared to act rashly. That was a golden branch and a jade leaf! Who dared to use needles on him! So the situation has not been improved.

Zhao Keran was also a little exhausted. At this time, he rested for a while and then said, "Don't delay, let's give the acupuncture. Try using the acupuncture to prick the child's arm. It will adjust naturally when it is retracted."

"That's right, we can't delay it any longer." Xiao Xiaoxiao also said, "If we delay it any longer, the amniotic fluid will run out, and then not only the children, but even the adults will have problems."

The two midwives were both surprised. Of course they did not dare to do anything to Jinzhiyuye, so they were a little hesitant. Now that they heard what Mu Zhao Keran and Xiao Xiaoxiao said, they naturally followed them.

When Zhao Keran tried again to give birth, the birth canal was blocked again. One of the midwives pricked the baby's arm several times with a silver needle, and saw that the arm slowly retracted.

Zhao Keran could feel the baby squirming in her belly. She knew that the baby could stay for a long time before the amniotic fluid broke, but once it broke, he wouldn't be able to breathe much air. In this case, he couldn't stay in the mother's belly for too long. It was very dangerous.

She didn't want to delay any more, so she grabbed the cloth hanging from the beam with her arms, took a deep breath, and followed the midwife's words and slowly increased her strength.

This time, it wasn't long before the child's head was revealed.

Xiao Xiaoxiao shouted from the side, "But, you can do it with force, the child's head has come out."

Zhao Keran shouted and exerted force suddenly, and suddenly he felt that all his strength was being drained. However, he felt a stream of heat slipping out of his body along with a little doll, and he suddenly felt relieved.

The midwife skillfully cut the umbilical cord, picked up the baby and patted it on the buttocks. The little baby coughed out the liquid in its mouth and cried loudly.

"Give birth! Give birth!" Xiao Xiaoxiao shouted excitedly, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

"Congratulations to Concubine Xiao, congratulations to the Empress, the little prince is here!" the midwife said with a smile, and skillfully began to wrap the baby in a bath.

After hearing the child's cry, Zhao Keran immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Xiaoxiao took over the child who had been cleaned up by the midwife, and teased with a smile, "My little grandson, strange, I am your grandmother."

At this moment, Situ Xu and the others were just in the next room, so naturally they heard the child's cry. After hearing the cry, everyone in the room had already left without waiting for anyone to announce the good news.

The door of the delivery room opened slightly, and a little palace maid was walking out of it. She was holding a basin of blood in her hand.

"How is the Queen doing now?" Situ Xu asked quickly, "How is the child doing now?"

The most important person in Situ Xu's heart was Zhao Keran, so the first question he asked was about Zhao Keran's situation, and then about the child's situation.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Queen has just given birth to a little prince!" The little palace maid said quickly, "The Queen is resting now, and the little prince is also inside. Mother and son are safe."

After hearing what the little palace maid said, Situ Xu ignored her and walked directly into the delivery room. What he wanted to do most now was to stay with his wife.

Situ Lingzhi and the Empress Dowager who followed closely behind him were also ecstatic after hearing the news.

"Reward, everyone has a reward." Situ Lingzhi laughed and said, "All the palace servants in the Panlong Palace will each receive a year's worth of money. The two midwives will each receive a hundred taels of gold.

Each of the maids who serve the queen will be rewarded with five hundred taels of gold."

After hearing such a reward, the palace servants and midwives who were working were overjoyed.

As soon as Situ Xu entered the delivery room, he went directly to Zhao Keran's bedside without even looking at his newborn child. At this time, Zhao Keran had just given birth and had not recovered at all.

Looking at the pale Zhao Keran, Situ Xu gently stroked her face and said, "Little one, you have worked hard. Thank you for giving birth to this child for me."

"What are you talking about!" Zhao Keran said coquettishly, "This is not only your child, but also my child! Everything is worth it for your own child."

Situ Xu looked at Zhao Keran, smiled slightly, and said nothing more.

Zhao Keran struggled to sit up. Seeing this, Situ Xu quickly supported her and put a few pillows behind her to make her lean more comfortable.

"By the way, Xu, have you seen our child?" Zhao Keran asked with a smile, "Have I seen him before? Is he cute? Does he look like you or me?

?”

Speaking of this, Situ Xu's face turned red, "I, I haven't seen him yet?"

Since entering the delivery room, Situ Xu has focused all his attention on Zhao Keran, and has simply forgotten about his just-born child. Now he sees that Zhao Keran is fine except that his face is a little pale, and after being reminded, there is nothing serious.

Finally I thought of my son.

Looking at Situ Xu's appearance, Zhao Keran was very moved. In the whole world, the most important thing for a man is his heir. But the first thing he did when he entered the room was to confirm her well-being. How could she not

Touched?

Seeing this situation, Xiao Xiaoxiao smiled and handed the child to the midwife and asked the midwife to carry it over so that his biological parents could take a look at their child.

Then, Xiao Xiaoxiao, Situ Lingzhi and the Queen Mother all left the delivery room. They all felt that at this time, the children should be allowed to get along well on their own.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, look at this little prince! It's really strange. Other children are born with wrinkled faces, but you see, the little prince was born white and fat, like a full moon child. Although he looks still...

It really doesn’t look like a newborn child! The little prince will definitely be outstanding in the future..."

The midwife praised Situ Xu's precious son lavishly, and her words of congratulations seemed as if she was desperate for her life. After all, this was no ordinary child! It was the emperor's first child, and he was born to the empress.

The glory is obvious.

Situ Xu lowered his head and saw that the boy was indeed fat and white, without many wrinkles. He was crying with his eyes closed at this time.

Situ Xu suddenly felt that there was a strange blood connection in his heart, and his heart seemed to be shaken, "This is my child!"

With that said, Situ Xu took the child from the midwife and showed it to Zhao Keran with a smile, "Little thing, look, this is our child, our first son. Look, he looks so good."

Zhao Keran also smiled after looking at it. Indeed, I have to say that this child is really not like an ordinary child. When ordinary children are born, they are red and wrinkled. But this child is long and tall.

It was white and pure, like a full-moon child.

After teasing the child for a while, Zhao Keran was also tired.

Seeing Zhao Keran's tired look, Situ Xu said, "Little one, you're tired after a long night of hard work, so you'd better have a good rest! I'm going to get ready now, and I'm going to the morning court soon. You first have a good time

Take a rest and I will come see you after the morning court."

"Xu, are you okay?" Zhao Keran saw the bruises under Situ Xu's eyes, "You haven't rested all night, do you still have energy? If you feel low, then take a rest for the morning!

"

"I'm fine."

After Situ Xu handed the child to the midwife aside, he helped Zhao Keran lie down, "I'm in good spirits now, there will be no problem. But you, you have really worked hard all night, now you have to be well

take a break."

Zhao Keran nodded and closed her eyes. After a while, she fell into a deep sleep. After all, she had been working hard all night, so she was naturally tired. Just now, she was just excited after seeing the child.

, so she was energetic. Now she was completely relaxed, and a wave of sleep soon came over her.

Looking at Zhao Keran's peaceful sleeping face, Situ Xu smiled slightly. After smoothing the quilt for her, leaving the attendant behind, he quickly left the room. He also had to go to the morning court.

The news that the empress gave birth to the emperor's eldest son spread quickly. Everyone's mood was different, whether envious or jealous. But no matter what kind of mood it was, it would not affect Zhao Keran.

After giving birth to the child, Zhao Keran was about to start confinement. According to convention, a woman's confinement should be helped by her mother. But Zhao Keran really didn't want to bring Qin Xianghe, and there weren't many other things in the palace.

, there are so many people waiting on her, so Qin Xianghe is not needed at all.

However, Xiao Xiaoxiao has moved to the palace recently. After all, Zhao Keran has just given birth and needs someone to take care of her. She knows medical skills, so she can take care of her better than others. And her grandson is still alive.

It's in the palace! She also wants to see her grandson more often.

When he saw Xiao Xiaoxiao moving to the palace, Situ Lingzhi naturally followed him quickly. He used to live in Prince Xu's Mansion, but it was just because Xiao Xiaoxiao was there. Now Xiao Xiaoxiao has returned to the palace.

.What’s the use of him still staying there!
