Chapter 158 Concubine An Gives Birth
An Lingrong's due date is approaching, and the Yanxi Palace is becoming busy.
Huimin has been paying attention to An Lingrong's affairs and often goes to accompany her these days.
Mrs. An was also keeping an eye on her daughter's situation all the time and was even more nervous than An Lingrong.
Huimin knew that Mrs. An was extremely looking forward to An Lingrong giving birth to a son.
Soon, An Lingrong took action.
That day Huimin went to the Yanx Palace early to accompany him and took charge there.
Fu Cha Peiyun, as the mistress of Yanx Palace, was also very cooperative.
Restrain the servants and check the midwife.
An Lingrong entered the delivery room. Huimin assigned tasks to Ruyi and Shunxin, and did their best to ensure An Lingrong's safe delivery.
Fu Cha Peiyun also quickly reported the news to the emperor.
But this time, the emperor only asked Su Peisheng to wait and did not come in person.
This is in stark contrast to the attitudes of the previous three concubines during childbirth.
There was nothing Huimin could do since the emperor didn't want to come.
Fortunately, Mrs. An had already entered the delivery room to accompany An Lingrong.
Don't let her know about this now and be sad.
A woman's first birth takes an unusually long time.
Huimin had chairs and snacks prepared in advance so that the concubines didn't have to wait in vain when they arrived at the Yanx Palace.
But the time spent is indispensable.
The concubines present were all yawning from staying up all night. Zhen Huan felt unwell, so she went back early.
Xia, Dong and Chun are still young, but the first three months are especially important. Huimin advised her to go back, but she was unwilling.
So he asked Xia Dongchun to go to her previous residence in the Yanxi Palace to rest first.
But she only slept for more than two hours and then came back to wait.
An Lingrong's delivery was not very fast. She started to move in the afternoon, and there was no movement in the delivery room until the sky was almost turning pale.
Xia Dongchun was so drowsy that he almost fell asleep. When he saw the door of the delivery room was opened, he rubbed his face hard.
People also become more energetic.
"It's finally out."
Huimin's tense nerves also relaxed slightly.
He stood up and looked at the midwife.
The midwife was very happy and first brought the child to Concubine Jing and Huimin.
Then tell everyone the news that concerns them most.
"Empress An and her daughter are safe."
Mother and daughter, all the concubines began to congratulate them all at once.
Huimin lowered her eyelashes. It was the princess.
Xia Dongchun was very curious about the newborn princess.
She is also about to become a mother and has a special feeling for her newborn baby.
This little princess is also very rare.
Looking at Xia Dongchun's excited eyes, Huimin pulled her helplessly.
Huimin looked at Concubine Jing, and Concubine Jing understood.
"Princess An gave birth safely. We are all tired after waiting for so long, so let's go back."
After everyone had left, Xia Dongchun still didn't want to leave.
But for her health's sake, Huimin arranged for Shunxin and Xia Dongchun's personal maid to coax and half-dredge Xia Dongchun away.
Huimin went into the delivery room to see An Lingrong in person.
Mrs. An wanted An Lingrong to give birth to a grandson, but she got a princess instead.
……
Huimin was still worried, so she decided to go and see for herself.
When they entered the delivery room, the room had already been almost cleaned up by the palace servants. Although An Lingrong had just given birth to a child, she did not fall asleep like Huimin did.
The princess's swaddling clothes were placed beside her, and Mrs. An was by her side.
But looking at An Lingrong's expression, it wasn't very good.
Huimin knew what was going on at a glance.
Seeing Huimin coming, An Lingrong perked up a little.
"Sister Min, you are here."
Her voice was still weak.
Huimin also walked to the bedside and held her raised hand.
"My dear sister, you have finally survived this hell."
"Out there, I'm worried sick."
After hearing Huimin say this, An Lingrong smiled slightly.
An Lingrong seemed to want to say something, but she hesitated when looking at Mrs. An. She moved her lips and looked at her mother.
"Mother, please take the princess to the side hall first and let the wet nurse feed her some milk."
Although Mrs. An was puzzled, she stood up after hearing what her daughter said.
After Mrs. An left, An Lingrong took Huimin's hand and let out her anger.
"Sister Min, this child is a princess."
Huimin looked at her, "Lingrong doesn't like the princess?"
An Lingrong shook her head. "The princess is also my child. How could I not like her?"
"only……"
An Lingrong's eyes dimmed.
"It's not easy to have a child. I can't keep her by myself. It's all thanks to my sister."
"It's just that my father and mother hope that I will give birth to a prince, saying that only a prince can bring honor to the family. Even if we don't mention these..."
An Lingrong looked at Huimin, "I also know that only a prince can help my sister. Concubine Xin already has Princess Shuhe, and Concubine Xiang has Princess Wenyi. We still need a prince..."
Huimin just listened to An Lingrong's words quietly.
After she had expressed her true feelings, she said:
"Lingrong, regardless of anything else, you are the mother of this child. No matter what others think, as long as you love her, it's fine. What expectations others have for this child is not the most important thing."
"As for me……"
Huimin looked at An Lingrong seriously, "Whether it's a prince or a princess, they're all good."
“This is a new life.”
“Not just a tool for profit.”
When An Lingrong heard this, tears burst out like a river.
She struggled to get up, and Huimin quickly supported her.
"Sister Min, what should I do? My family is humble and my father's ability is limited. I can see the end of my career as an official."
"But he only wants to get promoted through me. There is a prince, so he is a relative."
"My father is so heartless and ungrateful, and my mother is still stubborn. In the past, there were many concubines and illegitimate sons and daughters who bullied us, and my mother could only shed tears. But now that life is better, she has started to worry about my father's future again."
An Lingrong was indignant and puzzled, "But she forgot that my father's official position was only obtained through her donation. With my father's ability, this is the limit."
Huimin looked at the powerless An Lingrong. She had just given birth and was still weak, but she was suffocated by the pressure from her family.
How can one be so greedy as to swallow an elephant?
As expected, we cannot let him become complacent. Once he is allowed to come to the fore, only bad things will happen.
Huimin concealed the emotions in her eyes, but still asked her grandfather to "take care" of the An family more.
"After your father was transferred, he also took in two new concubines. Your mother...do you want someone to help your mother?"
An Lingrong shook her head, "It's useless. Fortunately, Aunt Xiao is here. With my mother's personality, she is devoted to my father. Even though my father has so many concubines and conceived so many illegitimate children, my mother would feel guilty if she heard that he has no legitimate son."
"In the past, my mother often wondered if I were a boy, would her life be different, would my father not have so many concubines? She loved me, but she also often fantasized."
"If there is a legitimate son, the two of them can live in harmony."
An Lingrong talked a lot, and Huimin just listened quietly.
After calming An Lingrong down, she fell asleep from exhaustion.
Huimin returned to Chengqian Palace with a gloomy face.
What An Bihuai did was really disgusting.
Since Mrs. An can't stand up on her own, then let someone who can stand up and know what's going on stand up and watch from the side.
Aunt Xiao.
She is a good choice.
Huimin immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Maizhu.
To settle down, you must be content.
