April 20th, Begonia Garden.

A light drizzle fell last night, sweeping away the restlessness brought by the sunny days in a row, and there was inevitably a hint of coolness in the air.

Yixiu carefully held her belly as she walked slowly down the corridor. From time to time, she looked at the clusters of peonies and herbaceous peonies in the courtyard, looking very leisurely and carefree.

"Master, why don't you go back to your room and rest? The court doctor said that you will give birth in the next one or two days..." Jianqiu stared intently at the master's feet, and there was no lack of persuasion in his mouth.

Yixiu shook her head nonchalantly and said slowly, "It's okay. This little noise won't disturb the fetus. When I was pregnant with Honghui, I was young and ignorant. I just stayed in the room and didn't dare to move. As a result, I suffered a lot during childbirth and even had a difficult birth. If it weren't for the good fortune of mother and son, how could we have the glory today?"

"Master, don't worry. This is your second pregnancy. The second pregnancy will only go more smoothly than the first!"

"That's true, but every time a woman gives birth, she's going through the gates of hell. How can I not learn from the past? I'll just walk a few more steps and stretch my body a few more times. I'll be satisfied if I can avoid some pain during childbirth."

"..." Jianqiu was speechless for a moment, and just focused on supporting the second young lady, whom he had served since childhood, as they strolled around the garden.

By now everyone in the mansion had finished their lunch, and looking at the time, it was still a quarter of an hour before the hour of Wei.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Yixiu felt sore in her waist and legs, and her lower abdomen felt heavy. She couldn't help but sigh, "Let's go back. My body is getting heavier, and I don't have the energy I used to have."

The master and servant went back and forth again, and just as they were crossing the yard, Yixiu suddenly felt some pain in her lower abdomen, and her body was wet. With her previous experience with Honghui, she knew that this was the onset of labor.

Yixiu grasped Jianqiu's wrist and said in a calm tone, "Go call the midwife and the court doctor. I'm about to give birth."

Jianqiu was stunned at first, and when she realized what her master meant, she immediately shouted in panic: "Hurry up, the master is about to give birth..."

Before he finished speaking, the servants who had been waiting nearby came up one after another and helped Yixiu into the delivery room that had been prepared in advance.

During this time, Jianqiu gave instructions concisely and neatly, and then the midwife and the court doctor hurried over.

Both midwives were arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but they were actually Defei's own people specially arranged by her, so they were very dedicated and quickly took over the delivery matters in the delivery room.

Yixiu in the delivery room was concentrating on giving birth, and the servants outside the delivery room were also busy.

Because the prince had not returned home yet, Huichun, who went to report the news, waited for another two quarters of an hour, until three quarters after the hour when he finally came back.

"My Lord, our concubine has started a movement..."

As soon as Yinzhen stepped into the front yard, he heard these words. He quickly turned around and ran towards Haitang Garden, saying, "Su Peisheng, go to the warehouse and get the best ginseng." In fact, Haitang Garden was not short of ginseng, but he was still a little worried.

When he arrived at Haitang Garden breathlessly, he summoned the court physician to answer questions before he even sat down.

"My Lord, the concubine is doing fine and her cervix is ​​dilating smoothly. Although this baby is a little big, the second one will most likely be delivered safely..." The court doctor did not give a definite answer.

Yinzhen kept stroking the jade ring on his hand, looking towards the delivery room in an uncertain state, and he became absent-minded without realizing it.

They waited for half a day, and by dinner time, news came from the delivery room that the baby was nine fingers dilated and would be born soon.

All the women in the backyard were waiting in Haitang Garden. Among them, Rouze looked the most worried. However, she was not worried that her concubine sister Yixiu would not be able to give birth to a child safely. Instead, she was worried that this baby would be another prince. If she had two princes by her side, Yixiu...

Rouze didn't dare to imagine any further!

At this moment, she was just praying in her heart that either there would be two lives in one corpse, or one baby would be a girl, but definitely not two princes.

But she did not get what she wanted. At the end of the You hour and the beginning of the Xu hour, the sound of a baby crying was heard in the delivery room.

After a while, the midwife came out with a swaddling baby in her arms, smiling happily, "My Lord, your wife has given birth to your fourth prince. Both mother and child are safe..."

Before she finished her words, Yinzhen took the swaddling clothes with a smile on his face, held it in his arms and looked at it carefully.

"My Lord, the Fourth Prince was really well-bred since birth. Look, his eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as yours and the eldest prince's. And his nose looks like that of a concubine..." The one who was flattering him non-stop was Qi.

As for the others, they were all speechless. Li was not good at speaking, Song's favor was not as good as before, Geng never liked to show off in front of others, and Rou was even more absent-minded and distracted, as if she had suffered a great blow.

The arrival of the Fourth Prince was like a bolt from the blue for Rou Ze. She watched helplessly as the Fourth Master rewarded three months' monthly salary to all the servants in the mansion, watched the people in Begonia Garden beaming with joy, watched the concubines in the backyard vied with each other to compliment a newborn child. She felt as if she was dreaming, a dream that was both unreal and cruel, and made her eager to escape.

Why did God allow Yixiu to make a comeback? She had obviously won the heart of the Fourth Master and was favored by him for three years. During those three years, Yixiu and her son were abandoned. But three years later, everything was completely different, as if everything was back on track.

She knew that Yixiu had had the opportunity to take the position of the Fourth Lady, but her elder sister and her mother could not bear to see the little concubine's daughter rise up overnight, so they planned a so-called "love at first sight" and snatched the position of the Fourth Lady away from her.

Six years ago, she was so proud, but six years later, she was left with only the empty title of a concubine, while Yixiu was reborn from the ashes and held her, her elder sister, under her thumb, unable to turn over!

She began to worry more than ever before. Would Yixiu replace her and become the concubine one day?

No, no, the Fourth Master would not be so cruel! In the dim night, Rouze walked out of Haitang Garden in panic.

Not to mention how much of a blow Rouze suffered physically and mentally, let’s just talk about how excited Haitangyuan was.

From the personal maids like Jianqiu to the servants guarding the gate, everyone was in high spirits, revealing a high spirit from the inside out.

When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer! Their master is now the only one in the mansion who is honored. With two princes by his side, Haitangyuan has a peaceful life!

Therefore, on that day, all the servants in Haitang Garden were very happy, but the servants in other courtyards were inevitably a little disappointed.
