As if hearing her father's voice, the little guy in Su Wanti's belly kicked her belly.

Su Wanti smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I heard your father's voice and I am very happy."

Emperor Xiao Ping gently placed his hand on her bulging belly, his eyes as gentle as water.

"I felt it. The child was kicking my hand."

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was warm.

At this time, Su Wanti thought of a question and wanted to test Emperor Xiao Ping.

"Your Majesty, do you want a prince or a princess?"

Emperor Xiao Ping looked at her and smiled softly:

"As long as it's our child, I like them all. I thought that in this life, apart from being an emperor, I would worship Buddha and recite scriptures, without a soulmate or lover, without children or heirs, and would live alone until the end of my life. I am lucky to have met you, and to have our child is God's blessing. If I were to be picky about whether the child is a boy or a girl, I would be too ungrateful and ungrateful."

His eyes were full of pity.

"You have been through a lot since you got pregnant. I have seen it all. I wish I could take your place in the pain of pregnancy. I just want you and the child to be safe. I don't ask for anything else."

Su Wanti felt warm in her heart, and she smiled and snuggled into his broad chest, feeling his heartbeat and his hot body.

"My concubine and the child will be fine."

----

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of summer and Su Wanti was about to give birth.

The closer she got to the end of her pregnancy, the more physical discomfort she felt. Su Wanti bought sleeping pills, smooth bowel movement pills, etc. These allowed her to sleep well every night and she no longer had to worry about constipation.

Emperor Xiao Ping often couldn't sleep, and he often sat at the head of the bed looking at Su Wanti who was sleeping soundly.

Sometimes when Su Wanti woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, she would be startled by him.

She knew that he was worried about her, so she had to comfort him when she came back.

Seeing that the day of delivery was approaching, Emperor Xiao Ping arranged ten midwives and ten female doctors for Su Wanti at once, and asked the imperial doctors to be on duty at the Imperial Hospital all day. If Su Wanti gave birth suddenly, the imperial doctors from various departments could arrive as soon as possible.

It was late in July, in the evening.

After finishing dinner, Su Wanti and Emperor Xiao Ping were sitting on a rattan chair in the garden, looking at the clouds in the sky.

Suddenly, she felt wetness beneath her body, as if water had soaked her dress.

She stood up and felt warm water flowing down her thighs, and then her stomach tightened and began to contract in pain.

"Your Majesty, I seem to be giving birth—" Her voice was trembling and she was shaking too.

Although she had the support of pain-free pills, smooth delivery pills and other props, giving birth was the first time in her life and she still couldn't control her fear.

Emperor Xiao Ping was startled, but immediately reacted. He said in a steady voice, "Xiao Dezi, quickly call the imperial physician, the midwife, and the female doctor to get ready. Anxun, Suyue, Chuntao, help Concubine Jieyu into the delivery room."

Su Wanti entered the delivery room, took some drugs to induce labor, and began to have regular labor pains.

After she let the system give her pain-free pills, pills for smooth delivery and pills for increasing physical strength, she was no longer afraid.

Emperor Xiao Ping, who was waiting outside, was not as calm as before. He was fidgeting, rubbing his hands, not knowing where to put them.

Later, he took out the small-leaf red sandalwood Buddhist beads that had not been used for a long time, and kept turning the beads and chanting Buddhist scriptures, praying for everything to be safe and smooth.

The Queen Mother and the Empress also came.

The queen was very capable. She arranged the personnel and affairs clearly. Although there were many people in the Yaoguang Palace, there was no panic and all work was carried out in an orderly manner.

The Queen Mother sat upright in a soft chair, her brows calm and her face kind.

Su Wanti took pain-relieving pills. She didn't feel any pain, but she could feel the changes in her stomach. The contractions were becoming more and more frequent, pushing the baby out little by little.

She imagined the woman in labor and screamed a few times. When the baby was about to emerge, she followed the midwife's instructions and breathed in and out with force.

Because she took the pills for smooth delivery, she gave birth to a daughter in less than an hour.

The baby was small, soft and red. The midwife cleaned the baby, wrapped it in a clean and soft swaddling cloth, and brought it to Su Wanti.

Su Wanti had been looking forward to her arrival, but when she first saw this little person, she still felt a sense of strangeness. However, her eyes were still fixed on her daughter, as if this little person crying with eyes closed had some magical power.

Afterwards, the female doctor brought Su Wanti some medicine to restore her strength, and the midwife took the baby to see the emperor.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Queen has given birth to a little princess. Both mother and daughter are safe." The midwife came out smiling, holding the baby.

Emperor Xiao Ping was overjoyed to hear that the mother and daughter were safe. He ran over like a gust of wind, smiling from his ears. He stared at his daughter with his eyes, unable to stop looking at her. He raised and put down his hands, wanting to hug her but not daring to.

At this time, the Queen Mother also stood up, with a smile on her face, and said quietly, "A princess is fine, but it's a pity that she's not a prince."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xiao Ping only frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows. Under the guidance of the midwife, he held his daughter steadily, his eyes slightly red.

"My princess is not just good, she is the best. I dreamed of purple air coming from the east yesterday, and the princess was born today. I think the princess can bring good luck to my Dongli Kingdom and ensure the prosperity of my Dongli Kingdom."

He glanced at the Queen Mother calmly, and then asked in a deep voice: "Doesn't the Queen Mother want this auspicious aura?"

It was the first time that the Empress Dowager was humiliated by the Emperor, and her expression looked a little unhappy.

Emperor Xiao Ping chuckled and said:

"I heard that after the deposed prince arrived at his fiefdom, he took in many concubines. I heard that in the past six months, all of his concubines have become pregnant. Although my sixth brother's position as the crown prince has long been abolished, he is my mother's child after all. His children will be my mother's grandchildren. It is estimated that in six months, my mother will have many grandchildren, and she will be very happy then."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother's face became even gloomier and uglier. She could not stay any longer, so she had someone deliver a reward and left.

Emperor Xiao Ping simply said, "Goodbye, mother," without even looking at her.

The Queen Mother returned to the Cining Palace angrily, closed the door of the inner room, slammed the table hard, and her chest heaved violently.

"This emperor is becoming more and more disobedient."

Her trusted nanny whispered, "Hasn't the Queen Mother noticed that since Su Wanti entered the palace, the Emperor no longer goes to the temple to worship Buddha, and no longer listens to the Queen Mother's words."

The Queen Mother's dark eyes darkened.

"I don't know what tricks this woman used to make the emperor, who had no desires or ambitions, become like this. He actually confronted me head-on."

The maid's eyes flickered, and she said mysteriously, "I heard that fox spirits can use magic to bewitch people and make them obey her. I'm afraid that she is a transformed demon concubine."

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "The talk of gods and ghosts is nonsense."

But after a moment, she frowned and thought, muttering, "Demon Concubine, Demon Concubine..."

She relaxed her brows and patted Mammy's hand, "Quick, give me paper and pen, I need to send a message to my son."

The nanny quickly fetched a pen and paper and asked carefully, "Should the Sixth Prince tell His Highness that his concubines are pregnant?"

The queen mother was as quiet as water, "He is doing something important, don't bother him with these dirty things."

She clenched the brush tightly, her fingertips turned white, and a dark light flashed in her cloudy eyes, carrying murderous intent.

"My son has only been in the capital for half a year, and these little hooves can't stand it anymore. When my son becomes something big, I will kill them all."
