"Rong Pei, the Yikun Palace is in financial difficulty right now, so please save your money and save it for me to buy some new armor. Logically, I'm pregnant, so I should bury some gold and silver to pray for blessings, but conditions don't allow that right now, so I'll wait until next time."

Rong Pei rolled her eyes again. It would be bad enough if she wasn't paid for the job, but he wanted her to pay for it. No way!

"Master, the Empress has sent six maids to take care of your delivery. You can pick four tomorrow, and let the rest go back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Ruyi thought for a moment and said, "Let's let Grandma Tian come. She delivered babies for my princes. Besides, we can find a reason to give less money when the time comes. Wouldn't that save us some money?"

Ruyi was charmed by her own cleverness and wit. Grandma Tian and the others were just midwives, so they would definitely swallow their anger.

This day was the day when Concubine Ying and Ke Changzai were released from house arrest. Ruyi happily asked Rong Pei to ask Ke Changzai to pay her respects.

Ke Changzai was playing crickets with Concubine Ying. Concubine Jia had given birth to many children, so she was suddenly invited by Concubine Xian. Both of them were confused.

But thinking of the child in Concubine Xian's belly, the two looked at each other and decided to go and see how the child Concubine Xian had conceived for their Mongolian concubine was doing.

main hall.

Ruyi saw Ying Guiren and Ke Changzai coming in, and she stared at Ke Changzai, wondering why Ke Changzai didn't take the initiative to greet her.

"Sister Ke, no need to be so polite~"

Ke Chang was thinking, I didn’t do any greetings either.

She and Concubine Ying sat on each side of the chair below the main seat.

"Since Noble Xian has said so, then I won't be polite."

Ruyi was holding her breath for a while. This Concubine Ke really didn't know etiquette! And Concubine Ying, although she was also a noble lady, she had a prince!

Forget it, just bear with it. A little impatience will ruin a big plan.

Ruyi said with a tolerant and peaceful look: "I know that my two sisters are under house arrest. I was worried and just hoped that you would come out and talk to each other as soon as possible. Now it's good, we are together again."

When the two heard the word "house arrest", their faces changed and their eyes were filled with hatred towards Concubine Ling.

Ruyi knew it was time for her to show her charm. She whispered:

"Don't worry, sisters. The princess in my belly is your support."

Concubine Ying asked curiously, "Concubine Xian, how do you know that the baby in your belly must be a princess?"

Ruyi covered her mouth and laughed, "You guys are from Mongolia, so you don't know the saying of sour boy and spicy girl, right? I love spicy food recently, I can't live without it, isn't that what a princess is?"

Ke Changzai also helped Ruyi to prove it, saying that she had gotten irritated after eating spicy food with Ruyi recently.

Ruyi again advised the two of them earnestly that after being under house arrest, they should know how dangerous the palace is, so why not follow her and guard the justice in the palace together.

The walnut-sized brains of Ying Guiren and Ke Chang were occupied by the justice that Ruyi talked about, and they couldn't help but start looking forward to the princess in Ruyi's belly.

When the princess was born, they would come over to raise her based on their Mongolian background. When the princess grew up, they would let her marry back to Mongolia with their help.

The three of them each had their own ulterior motives but they all reached a consensus. From then on, Concubine Ying and Concubine Ke often hung out with Ruyi.

Because Ruyi had an irregular diet during her pregnancy, she would either eat spicy food that caused her stomach to hurt, or eat sour food that caused her to vomit.

She was also afraid of having the imperial physician figure out her gender, so she refused the physician's request to check her pulse and also refused to regulate her body. As expected, she gave birth prematurely.

That day, the Emperor was discussing the mobilization of food and fodder with Lord Fu Heng in the Grand Council, and Fu Cha Lang Ya hurried over first.

No matter how much she disliked Ruyi, it was her responsibility to protect the concubines and children in the harem. Therefore, she not only stayed in charge, but also brought her own treasured ginseng and asked Rong Pei to make a soup for Ruyi to replenish her strength.

The next people to come were Concubine Ying and Concubine Ke. They were chatting in the side hall, so they came over to join in the fun.

It was naturally difficult for Ruyi to give birth to her first child at such an old age. Grandma Tian and three other midwives were busy in and out, and even the hot water was boiled three times.

Ruyi's face was pale and twisted due to severe pain. Fine beads of sweat oozed out of her forehead and soon formed a thin stream into her neck.

Her hands were clenched tightly, the veins in her arms were tense, and the sharp armor pierced deeply into her flesh due to the force.

The pain from the broken bones in her ten fingers made her scream at the top of her lungs, and she felt dizzy and as if her soul had left her body.

Grandma Tian was a little panicked. It was bad. Concubine Xian was about to faint from exhaustion. If this was true, there would be two deaths.

Hearing Ruyi's cry of pain, Fucha Langya, who had given birth to a child, also broke into a sweat. She had forgotten the discord between her and Ruyi. At this moment, she hoped that mother and child would be safe.

Seeing Fu Cha Langya pacing back and forth in the room and constantly asking questions to the palace servants who were serving her, Concubine Ying felt a little disdainful.

Isn't it just giving birth to a baby? When her father's concubine gave birth, she didn't even need a midwife, and she still gave birth to many babies safely.

"Your Majesty, you are overly worried. Isn't this what happens when women give birth?"

Fu Cha Langya was already anxious, and when she heard what Concubine Ying said, she was so angry that she couldn't help but curse:

"You are such a heartless person. Giving birth to a child is like walking through the gates of hell, and you have no sympathy at all. Someone, send Concubine Ying back to her Chuxiu Palace."

Concubine Ying was asked to leave by Zhao Yita, and she left reluctantly, shaking her handkerchief.

Ruyi, who was in the delivery room, also heard Concubine Ying's words when she was unconscious. The heart-wrenching words made her feel like she was falling into an icy cave. She had a narrow escape on the delivery bed, but Concubine Ying, who was usually close to her, said this...

Ruyi began to miss Hailan. If Hailan had not betrayed her, she would never have treated her like this.

In a trance, she saw the time when Bai Ruiji gave birth. Bai Ruiji's hair was tightly attached to her face because of sweat, but she was holding a whip in her hand and walking towards her step by step...

"Bitch, do you feel the pain of childbirth? This is tit for tat!"

In her dream, Bai Ruiji was suddenly awakened by a severe whip. The pain was no less than the pain under her body. Why did she dream of Meipin?

Ruyi thought of the time when Bai Ruiji gave birth. It turned out that what Concubine Ying said was also what she said to Bai Ruiji...

No, she just wanted to comfort the emperor and make him less sad. She was different from the heartless Concubine Ying.

Ruyi was trying to persuade herself. Seeing that Ruyi had regained consciousness, Grandma Tian hurried forward.

"My dear, listen to me. Use force regularly and gradually increase your strength. Don't use force randomly here..."

Grandma Tian was at her wit's end. Concubine Xian had already given birth for two days and one night. If she wasn't allowed to wake up quickly, the baby might suffocate in her womb.

So she slapped Ruyi hard. The whip pain that Ruyi felt in her dream just now was caused by Grandma Tian...

Under the guidance of Grandma Tian, ​​Ruyi finally gave birth to a prince safely, the twelfth prince.

Seeing the child with roots, Ruyi smiled happily, "Haha..."

Fu Cha Langya breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the emperor had not arrived yet, she went to the Qianqing Palace to inform the emperor and asked how to promote Ruyi to a higher position.
