At the end of spring in April, it was sunny for several days, and on the night of the twenty-third day, the sky was splashed with ink, dotted with stars, twinkling like playful little eyes.

Yingyun sat for a while with her makeup off, and was about to ask Anai to help her go to bed, when she suddenly felt a warm current flowing out from under her, and immediately exclaimed: "Anai, no, no, no." ”

Where did Anai understand this, and then panicked, and said, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you, slave...... The slave went to call ......"

After settling down Yingyun, Anai opened the door of the hall and shouted at the top of his voice: "Wushun, go and pass on the imperial doctor, where is Grandma Gui?" Grandma Gui! ”

The people of the entire Yikun Palace were woken up, and Grandma Gui rested in the ear room next door, heard the call, put on a coat, and rushed over while buttoning the buttons.

As if she had seen a savior, Anai dragged her to the dormitory and said, "Grandma, hurry up, it seems that she is about to give birth." ”

Grandma Gui entered in three steps and two steps, comforted Yingyun lying flat on the bed, and saw a puddle of water dripping on the mattress, so she asked: "Niangniang, how do you feel, do you have abdominal pain?" ”

Yingyun was still calm and said, "Except for the broken water, there is no pain yet." ”

Grandma Gui checked it, and there was no red, so she said: "Niangniang will not give birth for a while, but if the water breaks, you can't get out of bed again. ”

Yingyun nodded cooperatively.

Mama Rong Xi originally wanted to go to Cining Palace to report the situation, but was stopped by Yingyun, thinking that it was getting late, so it was better not to raise the teacher and move the crowd, not to mention, giving birth to a child does not mean that you will be born.

At first, Yingyun could still chat with Anai and the others, but in the second half of the night, after taking the birth-inducing decoction brought by Grandma Gui, she gradually had contractions. At dawn, there were bursts of dull pain, about half an hour apart.

In the meantime, Mama Rong Xi served her into dinner and replenished her strength. The imperial physician Yue Qi also diagnosed the pulse, and there were indeed signs of childbirth, so he withdrew from the palace and left it all to Grandma Gui alone.

When the queen mother heard the news, she rushed to Yikun Palace at noon, and then, the concubines also waited in groups in the main hall of Yikun Palace.

In the second moment, Yingyun's frequent abdominal pain had made her too busy to take care of herself, and the sound of killing pigs lingered over Yikun Palace.

The Queen Mother stood at the head of the bed and sighed: "You save some effort, don't scream." ”

Yingyun can still listen to it, when the pain hits, it seems to be in purgatory, and she doesn't even have the strength to cry.

Mama Xiangzhi persuaded on the side: "Lafayette, the queen will have some time, why don't you help the old slave go back and rest for a while." ”

The Queen Mother said uneasily: "I'm just waiting in Yikun Palace, I'm not going anywhere, you let people clean up the side hall, I'll just rest in the side hall." ”

The Queen Mother insisted on accompaniing, and the others were not easy to persuade again, and none of the concubines in the main hall dared to leave in advance.

The news of Yingyun's imminent delivery was spread to Changchun Garden early in the morning, but the emperor was entangled in government affairs, and he couldn't get out for a while, and he was also very anxious.

It wasn't until night fell that the emperor quietly led a team of guards, riding on a good horse, with iron hooves, and the dust raised was overwhelming, and the royal driver rushed to the Forbidden City without stopping at night.

On this night, both inside and outside the palace, everyone was looking forward to the queen being able to give birth to the emperor's son.
