After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Zhang and Shufei's biological mother died early, and the one in the mansion was their stepmother.

Therefore, as soon as she received the news that Zhang had arrived in the capital, Concubine Zhang Shu asked Emperor Yong'an for mercy, saying that she had not seen her sister for many years and hoped that this time she could bring her sister into the palace to take care of her during childbirth.

Emperor Yong'an already doted on Concubine Zhang Shu, and now that she was going through the most difficult time of pregnant with the heir, how could he not agree to her small request?

So, the day after Zhang returned to Beijing, before the noble ladies in the capital had time to laugh at the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion being demoted to the lowest-ranking earl's mansion, Zhang entered the palace.

It is already difficult for concubines in the harem to summon their families. Generally, only the concubines' mothers can enter the palace for a few days to take care of childbirth, and that is a treatment only available to favored concubines.

But Concubine Zhang Shufei was able to make Emperor Yong'an break the rules for her and summon her sisters into the palace to take care of her, which shows how much she was favored.

What's more, if she could give birth to a prince safely, it would be an even greater blessing.

Many people secretly envied Zhang for having such a good sister.

During the ten days that Zhang entered the palace, her job was nominally to take care of Concubine Shu, but in reality she had no experience in childbirth, so how could she take care of anyone?

Concubine Shu took her into the palace just to support her and prevent people outside from looking down on her.

As soon as she entered the palace, she asked about her sister's experience in Nandu.

Hearing that the Cihang Temple dared to make her sister kneel for three days and three nights, Concubine Zhang Shu's face was full of gloom:

"How dare a small Taoist temple torture my sister like this? I will destroy all of them and avenge my sister!"

Zhang was a little anxious when she heard this:

"Sister, please don't be impulsive. The temple master has great magical powers and means. I have faced her several times and suffered heavy losses. You are of noble status now and cannot afford any mistakes. You can't take risks for me!"

He also whispered to her that men dislike scheming women the most, and told her not to do anything that would damage His Majesty's love and affection for her.

"It doesn't matter whether I seek revenge or not. We have a long way to go. I can wait and endure."

Concubine Zhang was touched, thinking that only her sister truly cared about her.

The rest of the so-called relatives, every time they met, tried their best to get her to speak well of His Majesty and gain benefits for the family.

But her sister was afraid that she would suffer any harm because of her own affairs, so she didn't want her to help when she encountered difficulties.

"Don't worry, sister. I won't act impulsively. I will wait until I stand firmly on the highest point, then I will capture all those people and hand them over to you to torture as you like."

Zhang didn't want her to think about these things, so she changed the subject:

"Let's go for a walk on the porch. Your belly is so big now, you'd better start early."

There were many unpleasant things said by the outside world about Concubine Zhang's delay in taking action, but Concubine Zhang let them say it so that Emperor Yong'an would feel more sorry for her.

But she didn't want her sister to worry too much, so she explained quietly:

"Don't worry, sister. The baby in my belly is fine. It's just that my uterus can still provide him with qi and blood, so he won't come out for the time being."

"One more day of growth in the womb is equivalent to ten days of growth outside. I deliberately let him stay in the womb for a longer time."

This child is a boy, and will face many hardships after he is born. She hopes that he will have a stronger physique, so she deliberately kept him pregnant for a while longer.

"Will it be too big and difficult to give birth?"

Zhang was still a little worried.

Concubine Zhang Shu said confidently:

"No, I tried to control my intake of sugar and oil during my pregnancy, and he has a small head, so it's easy to give birth."

Shufei has given birth to several babies and is quite experienced.

Zhang knew that her sister actually had some little magical powers that were unknown to others.

She only revealed a little about it to herself.

However, she never asked any specific questions, she just knew that her sister would definitely not harm her.

"Everything should be done in moderation. He has sucked too much energy and blood from your belly. I'm worried that it will be bad for you."

Concubine Zhang Shu showed a warm smile:

"I know. It should be in these few days."

Sure enough, after a few days, Concubine Zhang Shu took action.

Under the strict protection of Emperor Yong'an, she successfully gave birth to a prince weighing nine pounds.

The prince was plump and white, without a single wrinkle on his face. He cried very loudly, and his arms and legs were very strong. He looked like a very healthy child.

Emperor Yong'an took the swaddling clothes personally and held it in his arms, falling into ecstasy.

Now, who would dare to say that he killed too many ministers of the queen's party and violated the harmony of heaven, so he was unable to have children!

He now has a prince, and he is such a healthy prince! He will pass his prince on to his own flesh and blood!

Concubine Shu is truly his lucky star.

Emperor Yong'an announced on the spot that Concubine Shu would be promoted to Imperial Noble Concubine Shuyi.

On the second day of the court session, Emperor Yong'an proudly announced the news of the birth of his son to all the civil and military officials in the court.

After all the ministers finished congratulating, Minister Pang of the Ministry of War stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, we just received victory news last night. The Southern Capital Military Department and the Five Cities Military Department jointly dispatched troops to wipe out more than 130 Japanese pirates, with only more than a hundred casualties. This is truly an unprecedented victory!"

"Just after the eldest prince was born, our dynasty has achieved such a great victory. This shows that the eldest prince is blessed with great fortune and is deeply loved by God!"

Emperor Yong'an loved reputation the most, and was immediately delighted by the flattery.

The others secretly cursed Minister Pang for being cunning. He thought that he had kept the question paper under wraps for several days, and was probably waiting for good news from the palace before presenting it.

The cleverer ministers also quickly followed suit, saying that the snow this year was particularly heavy, a sign of a good harvest, and that the eldest prince must have brought such blessings to the country.

There was a burst of praise, which lasted for a long time before it stopped.
