Legend of Zhen Huan: Zhen Huan is reborn

147 Mei Zhuang Gives Birth to a Child

-

In this way, two months of time passed quietly in peace and tranquility, and the little life in Li Ying's belly also safely passed the most critical early period and ushered in its fourth month.

She thought to herself that it was time to share this joy with everyone.

It just so happened that Shen Meizhuang would be due to give birth in a few days. Li Ying planned to take this opportunity to let the imperial physician announce her good news at that moment.

In this way, it not only adds a festive atmosphere, but also creates a wonderful scene of double happiness and double blessings.

(Shuangrui Hall)

In Shuangrui Hall, rewards came in like a torrent of tides, one after another.

They are both generous gifts from the extremely noble Emperor Yinzhen, the favor of the Empress Dowager, precious gifts from Zhen Huan out of deep sisterly love, and the fine items carefully selected by An Lingrong.

All kinds of gifts gathered together almost decorate the place with so many beautiful things that it is difficult to accommodate more.

Wen Shichu had just finished taking the pulse of Concubine Hui Shen Meizhuang when Yinzhen walked into the hall at the right time.

"Your humble servant respectfully welcomes the Emperor." Wen Shichu bowed respectfully.

"No need to be polite, just stand up." Yinzhen said calmly, "How is Huipin's health?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hui is in good health and the fetus in her belly is growing healthily. Everything is fine. In my opinion, the prince will be born safely in the near future." Wen Shichu reported in detail.

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen nodded with satisfaction, "That's great, I'm very pleased."

"Now that there is nothing else to do, I will take my leave first to avoid disturbing the emperor and the empress." Wen Shichu resigned at the right time.

"Okay, you can leave now." Yinzhen waved his hand, indicating that Wen Shichu could leave.

"Shouldn't the emperor be handling state affairs in the Yangxin Palace right now? How could he have the time to visit my residence?" Shen Meizhuang's face was filled with a gentle smile, and her words were gentle.

"I have reviewed all the memorials. I am very concerned about you and the little life in your belly, so I came here to visit you. Are you surprised by my arrival?" Yinzhen chuckled.

"How could that be? I am extremely happy and only hope to see the emperor every day. In the past few days, the child in my belly has been very active, kicking often, and it seems that he is also looking forward to meeting the emperor as soon as possible." Shen Meizhuang's words were full of maternal radiance and joy.

"Oh? Let me listen to what this little guy is doing." After Yinzhen said this, he gently put his ear close to Shen Meizhuang's abdomen.

After a moment, he felt a slight vibration in his abdomen and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"He is really lively. He must be very happy to know that Ama is coming."

Seeing this, Shen Meizhuang's eyes flashed with tenderness, "Look at this child, he will please Father. However, although I am grateful for the emperor's love, I also know that the emperor is busy with government affairs, so I dare not ask for too much."

"Mei'er, you've worked hard." Yinzhen looked at Shen Meizhuang affectionately, his words full of love and gratitude, "You've gone through so much hardship in bearing my child. I've seen it all, and it hurts in my heart."

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. This is my duty as a concubine," Shen Meizhuang replied modestly, with gratitude and expectation in her eyes.

Yinzhen smiled slightly and continued, "When you give birth to my heir successfully, I will definitely promote you to the rank of concubine and let you work side by side with Concubine Xi to help manage the affairs of the six palaces. The Queen has been suffering from frequent headaches recently, and it is indeed difficult for her to be competent for the heavy management responsibilities for a long time. I am also worried about this."

Upon hearing this, Shen Meizhuang smiled even brighter. "Since the emperor trusts me so much, I will live up to your expectations. I am willing to share the emperor's worries and contribute my own strength to the harmony and stability of the harem."

"That's right." Yinzhen nodded with satisfaction and gently patted the back of Shen Meizhuang's hand to show encouragement and affirmation.

At this moment, there is no need for words to convey the emotional exchange between the two people; everything is implied.

-

In the blink of an eye, the day of delivery arrived quietly. There was a busy scene inside and outside Shuangrui Hall. Everyone was on edge and tried their best for fear of any mistakes.

"My lord, please try harder!"

"My dear, try harder, you are just a little bit away."

The midwife's encouraging voice continued to ring in Meizhuang's ears, but she felt exhausted both physically and mentally. Every effort she made seemed to fall just a hair's breadth short of success and she failed to achieve her goal.

outside the house.

"How is Sister Mei doing now?" Zhen Huan asked with concern.

"To reply to the Imperial Concubine, everything is going well for my young lady, but it seems that it will take some time for the prince to be born." Caiyue answered respectfully.

"Didn't Doctor Wen say that Sister Mei was in good health? Why was giving birth so difficult?" Zhen Huan asked with a little worry.

"Perhaps everyone's physique is different, don't worry, sister," An Lingrong gently consoled, "This is Sister Mei's first time, so it's normal for the process to take a long time."

"It's true that I was too anxious." Zhen Huan sighed softly.

"Sister, we all feel your concern for Sister Mei, but it's already been two hours. Although the sun is not shining brightly, you should take care of yourself and get some rest," An Lingrong suggested considerately.

"That's right, come to my place and take a rest first," Concubine Jing Feng Ruozhao also joined in the persuasion, "Concubine Hui is blessed by heaven, and everything will be safe and smooth."

-

"The Emperor has arrived!" Su Peisheng's high-pitched voice cut through the air.

Zhen Huan and the others quickly stood up and greeted the emperor respectfully: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May your Highness be blessed with good health."

"Everyone, get up. I rushed here as soon as I finished dealing with government affairs. How is the situation with Concubine Hui?" Yinzhen asked with concern.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Doctor Wen has confirmed that everything is fine." Zhen Huan replied softly.

Yinzhen turned to look at Zhen Huan, his eyes full of tenderness and understanding: "Looking at you like this, you must be extremely anxious."

Zhen Huan's eyes turned red when she heard this, and her voice was slightly choked with sobs: "I am indeed worried. A long time has passed, but there is still no good news. I am terrified."

Yinzhen's heart softened when he saw this. He gently held Zhen Huan's hand and soothed her tenderly, "Don't worry, Huan Huan. Mei'er will be able to turn the danger into safety, and mother and child will be safe."

Then, Yinzhen turned to Su Peisheng and said in a deep voice: "Su Peisheng, pass on my decree. From now on, Huipin will be promoted to Huifei to show my prayers. I hope she can use this good news to get through this ordeal peacefully."

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Su Peisheng took the order and left, silently praying for Concubine Hui Shen Meizhuang in his heart.

-

As soon as the decree arrived, Caiyue ran to the bedside with a face full of joy, and her voice was filled with excitement that could not be concealed: "Your Majesty, great news! The emperor has issued an order to promote you to Consort Hui!"

Although Shen Meizhuang looked pale and extremely weak, she managed a smile. She was suffering from the pain of childbirth and moaned from time to time.

"Your Majesty, you have suffered a lot. I feel heartbroken seeing this. I will go find Doctor Wen and see if there is any way to relieve your pain a little." Caiyue said with concern and was about to turn around and leave.

Mei Zhuang closed her eyes gently, and a feeling of fatigue surged over her like a tide. She felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away, and even opening her mouth seemed extremely difficult.

At this time, Su Peisheng's concerned voice came from outside the door: "Is there no movement from the Empress? The Emperor and the Imperial Concubine are very worried, so they sent me here to ask."

Wen Shichu stepped forward upon hearing the voice and said to Su Peisheng, "Eunuch Su, please tell the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine that the Imperial Concubine Hui is doing fine, but since it is her first child, the delivery process will naturally be slower than usual. Please rest assured that I will do my best to take care of her."

Su Peisheng nodded when he heard this, with a relieved smile on his face: "Dr. Wen has worked hard, the emperor and the queen will be relieved after knowing this."

Wen Shichu humbly replied: "This is my humble duty, I dare not complain."

At this moment, Caiyue's excited cheers could be heard from inside the house: "It's born! It's born! Concubine Hui gave birth to a little prince!"

This news was like a spring breeze, instantly dispelling the tension and anxiety around.

Upon hearing the news, Su Peisheng's face was filled with a joyful smile. He hurried to the palace of Concubine Jing Feng Ruozhao and reported loudly as soon as he entered the door: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, great joy! The Imperial Concubine has successfully given birth to a little prince!"

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen, Zhen Huan and others felt relieved and smiled sincerely on their faces, their joy was beyond words.

Yinzhen turned to look at Zhen Huan and said gently, "Now you can rest assured."

Zhen Huan looked at Yinzhen with tears in her eyes, then at An Lingrong, and said softly, "Yes, Your Majesty and I can all rest assured. Sister Mei is safe and the little prince is healthy. This is a great joy."

Feng Ruozhao also nodded in agreement, with a maternal glow in her eyes: "Your Majesty can rest assured. The safe birth of our little prince is the greatest blessing for the palace."

For a moment, the entire palace was immersed in joy and peace, as if even the air was filled with the scent of happiness.
