Chapter 829 [Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 19]
It was a sunny day, and the sun shone through the window onto the dining table in the palace. Hongli was enjoying a sumptuous meal with Youyou, and the room was filled with the aroma of food. However, at this moment, a eunuch hurried in, kneeling down and reporting nervously: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is news from Concubine Mei that the fetus is suddenly agitated, and it seems that she is about to give birth!"
When Hongli heard this, his face changed instantly. He subconsciously stood up and prepared to go to visit immediately. Seeing this, Youyou, who was standing beside him, hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let me go with you?"
Hongli turned to look at Youyou with a worried look on his face, and said softly, "Wanyin, you'd better stay here. You are pregnant now, your belly is so big, and the due date is in the next few days. Don't join in the fun at this kind of occasion."
Youyou shook her head gently and responded with a smile: "Your Majesty, the imperial physician has told me that the closer I am to giving birth, the more I should move around. Besides, your Majesty is here to protect me, right? Let's walk slowly, nothing will happen."
After hearing this, Hongli hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist Youyou's request and nodded in agreement: "Okay, in that case, you have to be more careful." As he said that, he personally took out a thick cloak and gently draped it on Youyou's shoulders, then held her hand tightly and slowly walked towards Yonghe Palace.
At the same time, Fu Cha Lang Huan, who was far away, was also very worried when she learned that Concubine Mei was about to give birth. She hurriedly rushed over with a group of palace maids. When she arrived at Yonghe Palace, she found that Hongli had not arrived yet, so she hurriedly asked the people around her: "Has anyone been sent to inform the emperor?"
"In reply to the Queen, someone has been sent to notify the Emperor. I believe the Emperor is on his way now." A smart little maid answered respectfully.
Just as everyone was talking, an extremely shrill scream suddenly came from the room where Concubine Mei was. The sound seemed to penetrate the roof, making people feel distressed.
At this moment, Youyou and Hongli hurried over here. Fucha Langhuan was sharp-eyed and saw them at once. She hurried forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Hongli raised his hand slightly to signal her to stand up, and then asked anxiously: "Excuse me! Queen, please tell me what is going on inside?"
Fu Cha Lang Huan did not dare to delay and quickly responded: "Your Majesty, Concubine Mei is having a difficult delivery, and the imperial doctors are racking their brains to think of a solution."
Hongli frowned upon hearing this and asked, "Why did she suddenly have a difficult birth?"
Fu Cha Lang Huan looked embarrassed and replied softly, "I really don't know. I just got the news and rushed here without stopping. Your Majesty, it's freezing outside. Why don't you move to the side hall and wait? I think Concubine Mei may not be able to give birth smoothly for a while."
After a brief thought, Hongli nodded and said, "Okay." After that, he gently helped Youyou up and slowly walked towards the side hall.
Fu Cha Langhuan looked at the intimacy between the two people in front of her and felt that the scene was like needles piercing her eyes, but she still suppressed the discomfort in her heart and followed silently.
When everyone arrived at the side hall, they found that a blazing charcoal fire had been prepared in advance, making the whole room warm. Hongli considerately helped Youyou take off her heavy cloak, and then carefully handed it to Ningdong.
Fu Cha Lang Huan looked carefully and saw that You You's belly was so big! She hadn't noticed anything unusual when she was wearing a cloak before. She had concealed it perfectly, so that no one in the palace knew about it. If she hadn't happened to see it today, even she, the queen, would have been kept in the dark and had no idea that Concubine Zhao was pregnant.
Fu Cha Lang Huan was shocked and asked in disbelief, "Sister Zhao, are you pregnant? When did you become pregnant? Your belly is so big. Are you about to give birth?"
Hongli, who was standing by, smiled and nodded, and replied, "Yes, Wanyin's due date is indeed in these few days."
Hearing this, Youyou's face was filled with a happy smile, and she explained softly: "Empress, please don't blame me for not telling you about this in advance. In fact, I didn't want to hide it from everyone, but the emperor insisted on waiting until the child was born before announcing it, so I followed his will and didn't tell anyone a word."
Fu Cha Lang Huan was secretly shocked. It was hard for her to imagine that Hong Li would be so wary of everyone. Her face turned ugly for a moment. However, she was the mother of a country after all. Even if she was dissatisfied in her heart, she still had to maintain her dignity and propriety on the surface. So she forced a smile and said, "It should be so, it should be so..."
At this time, Hongli added expectantly: "And, Wanyin is pregnant with my little princess!" His words fully revealed his love and cherishment for the upcoming little life.
"Little princess? Is Sister Zhao pregnant with a little princess?" Fu Cha Langhuan asked with joy, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation. Her beautiful face became even more charming because of this surprise, like a blooming flower.
Before Youyou could respond, Hongli couldn't wait to interrupt her: "Of course it's the little princess! I think we will have another lovely little angel in our palace." He smiled dotingly as he spoke, as if he could already imagine what kind of joy and warmth this little princess who was about to be born would bring to the palace.
Hearing Hongli's affirmative answer, Fucha Langhuan was relieved. For her, having another princess in the harem was not a worrying thing. After all, compared with a series of complex issues such as the struggle for the throne that might be caused by the prince, the impact that a princess could bring was really minimal. Thinking of this, the smile on her face became even stronger, and she hurriedly said: "Since the emperor has said so, then I would like to congratulate my sister. I hope that my sister can give birth to this little princess smoothly, and that both mother and daughter are safe."
Upon hearing this, Youyou quickly stood up and bowed to Fucha Langhuan to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Her Majesty, for your kind words. I am grateful indeed. If it is true as the Emperor said, I will definitely teach the little princess carefully and make her a well-educated, gentle and kind person." At this time, Youyou gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, her eyes filled with the radiance of maternal love.
