Chapter 854: Concubine Sun launched
Shen Zhinian's ceremonial procession walked steadily on the palace road, all the way to Zhongcui Palace.
Who knew that halfway through, he would run into Xiao Zhouzi running towards him: "My Queen! My Queen!"
Xiao Zhouzi has always been reliable in his work and rarely gets so anxious.
Shen Zhinian frowned immediately, signaled the procession to stop, and asked in a deep voice: "What happened?!"
She vaguely realized something...
As expected, Xiao Zhouzi panted and said, "Noble Lady Sun, Noble Lady Sun has started!"
Tang Luochuan had already said that Concubine Sun would give birth in the next few days.
Because he was mentally prepared, Shen Zhinian was not surprised at this time, and ordered: "Send someone to the Yangxin Palace to inform His Majesty."
Handan replied "yes" and immediately turned around and went to the Yangxin Palace.
When the second princess's first birthday ceremony was held, Tang Luochuan had been waiting in the Yanx Palace, and now he has returned to the Imperial Hospital.
Shen Zhinian looked at Fuqiu and said, "Go and ask Doctor Tang to come to Zhongcui Palace right away!"
Fuqiu nodded heavily: "I understand!"
Shen Zhinian waved his hand: "Go back quickly!"
"Yes!"
The young eunuchs who were carrying the sedan chair quickened their pace.
On the way, Shen Zhinian asked, "What's the situation at Zhongcui Palace?"
Xiao Zhouzi said respectfully: "Your Majesty, since we have made sufficient preparations long ago, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner."
"When I came here, the palace servants were carefully moving Concubine Sun into the delivery room, and Nanny Lin had already gone over to take care of her."
"But... I heard that Lady Sun seemed very nervous and kept asking when you would be returning."
Concubine Sun has always been timid and has always been afraid of giving birth. Shen Zhinian can already imagine how she feels at this moment.
She urged again: "Faster!"
"Slave, you obey!"
Several young eunuchs gritted their teeth and ran very fast on the palace road!
They have to ensure speed and stability of the sedan chair, which is not easy...
Fortunately, Concubine Chen is very light.
Soon, Shen Zhinian's ceremonial procession returned to Zhongcui Palace.
Although the palace servants were busy, it did not seem chaotic at all.
Seeing Shen Zhinian coming back, they all seemed to have found a backbone: "My Queen!"
Shen Zhinian strode towards the delivery room in the side hall.
As the head maid of Concubine Sun, Zhu Er should be serving inside. But Concubine Sun felt uneasy when she didn't see Shen Zhinian, so she kept asking her to wait outside.
At this moment, Zhu Er finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Empress Chen, you are finally back!"
"My young master, my young master has been calling you..."
Shen Zhinian strode towards the delivery room.
The room was cleaned tidy in advance and a mattress was laid on the bed to ensure warmth and comfort.
Clean hot water, towels, scissors, etc. are also ready.
As soon as Shen Zhinian walked behind the screen, he saw Concubine Sun.
Sun Guiren had just started pregnancy and now she was only showing symptoms such as abdominal pain and spotting.
Seeing Shen Zhinian, tears welled up in her eyes and she stretched out a hand towards her: "Sister Noble Concubine Chen..."
Shen Zhinian strode to the bedside, held Concubine Sun's hand, and said gently, "Don't be afraid. I have sent someone to inform His Majesty. He should be here soon."
Concubine Sun held Shen Zhinian's hand tightly and said nothing.
If it wasn't for Concubine Chen's reminder, she wouldn't have thought of His Majesty at all.
As long as she sees Sister Concubine Chen, she will feel at ease...
As time passed, Concubine Sun felt more and more abdominal pain, and she felt her lower abdomen contracting in waves.
She had never experienced anything like this before, so she was inevitably nervous. She grabbed Shen Zhinian's hand and said, "Sister Noble Concubine Chen, I'm so scared..."
Shen Zhinian said patiently: "Don't be afraid."
"When the time comes, Nanny Lin will tell you how to exert your strength, and I will always be here with you."
"It'll be okay."
Concubine Sun nodded heavily: "I, my concubine, I believe in Sister Concubine Chen!"
……
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
As usual, the people from the Jingshifang brought over the green card and said, "...Your Majesty, it's time to turn over the card."
Today is the second princess’ first birthday celebration. The emperor was tired and waved his hand.
The eunuchs responded "yes" and quietly retreated with the green cards in their hands.
At this time, Li Changde hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Handan beside Concubine Chen came to report that Concubine Sun had started the war!"
Nangong Xuanyu immediately stood up and walked out: "Go to Zhongcui Palace!"
"Yes!"
Such a big thing is naturally no secret in the harem.
Soon, the queens and ladies who received the news rushed to Zhongcui Palace.
"Your servant greets His Majesty. Long live His Majesty!"
Nangong Xuanyu ignored the palace servants who were paying their respects, looked around, frowned, and asked, "Where is Concubine Chen?"
Bing Qiao bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen has gone into the delivery room to accompany Concubine Sun."
Nangong Xuanyu understood.
Nian Nian and Concubine Sun have always been good friends, so it is normal for her to go in and accompany her at this time.
Bingqiao turned around and went to the tea room to make a cup of tea. She said softly, "Your Majesty, a woman's childbirth will not be over in a short time. Please have a cup of tea first."
Nangong Xuanyu had few children and paid special attention to each of them. He had no mood to drink tea at this moment and just raised his hand and waved.
Bingqiao responded "yes" and retreated honestly.
Not long after, Fuqiu hurried back with Tang Luochuan.
After the ceremony, he entered the delivery room and waited outside the screen.
Soon, the concubines arrived one after another and saluted Nangong Xuanyu respectfully: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"
Nangong Xuanyu said: "Stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Concubine Chun looked around and asked in surprise, "Why isn't Concubine Chen here?"
Handan said expressionlessly, "Our queen is in the delivery room."
Concubine Chun smiled and said, "I see."
"The Imperial Concubine Chen and the Imperial Concubine Sun really have a deep sisterly bond!"
"If all the women in the harem follow their example, Your Majesty will have fewer worries."
Wangpin asked in surprise, "Does Concubine Chun mean that the sisters in the harem are not harmonious and are always causing trouble for Your Majesty?"
As she finished her words, many people's eyes fell on Concubine Chun and they frowned in disgust.
They didn't do anything, so why did Concubine Chun accuse them of being restless?
She is indeed a foreign woman, not worthy of being in public!
Concubine Chun choked and looked at Concubine Wang deeply: "Madam Concubine Wang, that's not what I meant."
"I just think that the sisterhood between Concubine Chen and Lady Sun is enviable."
"From the time Concubine Sun became pregnant, Concubine Chen has been taking care of her. Concubine Sun went into labor tonight, and Concubine Chen personally accompanied her during the birth."
"Let's not talk about anything else. Just say that Concubine Chen is so attentive to Concubine Sun. She will definitely ensure that both mother and child are safe this time!"
Concubine Chun's words seemed to be praising Shen Zhinian.
