Unconsciously, the carriage had arrived at the gate of Lu's mansion. Lu Yun got off the carriage first, and then carefully helped Jun Yue get off the carriage. The housekeeper had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when he saw the two of them coming, he hurried forward to greet them.

"Young Master, Young Madam, welcome home. The old lady has been waiting in the hall for a long time." The butler said respectfully.

"Thank you, butler." Lu Yunqi nodded, then took Jun Yue's hand and walked into the hall of the Lu Mansion together.

Lu Yunqi and Jun Yue walked into the hall and saw Mrs. Lu sitting in the main seat, looking at them with a smile on her face. The two walked up and saluted Mrs. Lu.

"Grandma." Jun Yue called softly.

"Good child, come here and let grandma see you." Mrs. Lu took Jun Yue's hand and looked at her carefully. "Well, did you have a good time at your mother's house today?"

"Thank you grandma for your concern, everything is fine." Junyue replied.

"That's good. You just came back, you must be tired. Go and rest for a while, and we can talk again at dinner." Mrs. Lu instructed.

"Yes, grandma." Lu Yunqi responded and left the hall with Jun Yue.

The two came to the bedroom, and Jun Yue sat on the bed tiredly. Lu Yunqi looked at her distressedly and said, "You take a rest first. I'll ask the servants to prepare hot water. You will feel better if you soak your feet."

Jun Yue nodded and looked at Lu Yunqi gratefully. After Lu Yunqi left, Jun Yue lay on the bed, her thoughts drifting away. She remembered the warmth of her family at home.

Now that she has come to the Lu family, she hopes to integrate into this big family as soon as possible and live a happy life with Lu Yunqi.

Lu Yunqi quickly called the servants to prepare hot water. Jun Yue felt much more relaxed after soaking her feet.

At dinner time, the two came to the restaurant and had dinner with Mrs. Lu.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Lu asked Jun Yue with concern whether she was used to living in her house, and also asked Lu Yunqi to take good care of Jun Yue.

Junyue felt the care from Mrs. Lu and expressed her gratitude to the Lu family.

After the meal, Lu Yunqi and Jun Yue chatted with Old Mrs. Lu for a while and then went back to their room to rest.

At night, Jun Yue lay in Lu Yunqi's arms, feeling his warmth, her heart filled with happiness.

As the days passed, Junyue gradually adapted to life in the Lu family. Her relationship with Lu Yunqi became deeper and deeper. They often took walks together, admired flowers, and enjoyed their sweet time.

——The Imperial Palace

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao is about to give birth." The chief eunuch hurried to the emperor to report.

When the emperor heard this, he immediately stood up, with an anxious look on his face: "Hurry, go and take a look!" As he spoke, he strode towards Yuefu Pavilion.

……

The atmosphere in Yuefu Pavilion was tense and busy. Concubine Xiao was lying on the bed, her face pale and her forehead covered with sweat, trying her best to give birth to a child.

"My lady, please try harder. Take a deep breath." The midwife held Concubine Xiao's hand tightly and encouraged her.

Concubine Xiao took deep breaths of air, trying to concentrate her strength in her abdomen, attempting to push the fetus out.

"Ah... um... huh" With every effort, Concubine Xiao groaned in pain, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered.

The midwife constantly guided and helped her, while also giving her appropriate squeezes on her belly to facilitate a smooth delivery.

"Take a deep breath." The midwife said to Concubine Xiao while squeezing her belly.

After some hard work, the midwife's excited voice finally came: "It's almost out, little lady."

Upon hearing the news, a glimmer of joy flashed in Concubine Xiao's eyes, and she pushed her belly harder, hoping to see her child as soon as possible.

The emperor came to the door and looked inside to show his concern for Concubine Xiao. "Thank you for your hard work, my beloved concubine," he said.

Concubine Xiao smiled tiredly, "The Emperor is here."

At this moment, the baby's cry broke the tense atmosphere. The midwife happily held the child and said, "Congratulations, my lady, it's a little princess!" Then she sent the little princess out the door.

The emperor took the child, his eyes full of joy, "My daughter is so beautiful." He gently stroked the child's cheek.

Concubine Xiao looked at the emperor and the child, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.

However, her body became weaker and weaker, and she eventually fainted. The emperor was horrified, "Imperial Physician! Come and see what happened to the noble lady!"

The imperial doctors rushed forward to treat her. After a busy period, the imperial doctor reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the noble lady is just too tired and needs a good rest." The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the sleeping noble lady Xiao, and said distressedly: "You must take good care of the noble lady."

"Noble Lady Xiao gave birth to a princess. She was specially awarded a thousand taels of gold and was named Concubine Xiao. She was moved to Huilan Palace."

As the eunuch chief's sharp voice rang out, the palace maids around him knelt down one after another and shouted in unison: "Congratulations, Concubine Xiao!" Their faces were filled with joy and respect as they congratulated the woman who had just been promoted to concubine.

Xiaopin sat on the bed, holding her newborn little princess in her arms. Her face was full of happiness and satisfaction, and tears were shining in her eyes. She gently stroked her daughter's little face and felt her warm breath.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Concubine Xiao said gratefully. She knew that all this was due to the emperor's love and attention to her. She felt extremely lucky to be a member of this palace and to receive such an honor.

The maids quickly stepped forward and presented a thousand taels of gold to Concubine Xiao. The gold shone brightly, symbolizing the emperor's reward and honor. Concubine Xiao looked at the wealth in front of her, and her heart was filled with emotion.

"Hurry up and bring the little princess over for me to see." Concubine Xiao said anxiously. A maid carefully handed the little princess to Concubine Xiao, who took the child and looked at her face carefully.

"What a lovely child." Concubine Xiao said softly, her eyes full of maternal love. She gently kissed her daughter's forehead, hoping that she would grow up healthily.

At this time, the emperor came in with a happy smile on his face. He walked to the bedside, looked at Concubine Xiao and the little princess in her arms, and said gently: "My beloved concubine, you have worked hard."

Concubine Xiao nodded with emotion, tears welling up in her eyes again. She knew very well that her status and future were closely related to the emperor, and giving birth to a princess was one of the reasons why she was so favored.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Concubine Xiao said gratefully. She knew that the emperor's care and reward for her meant more responsibilities and obligations. She was determined to take good care of her daughter and serve the emperor wholeheartedly, so as not to let down this great love.

The emperor smiled and nodded, he reached out and gently touched the little princess's cheek, then turned and left the room, leaving Concubine Xiao and the palace maids to continue celebrating this happy event.
