Chapter 223
In a moment, the Queen Mother helped Jianqiu into the house.
Qingying led Concubine Wan to kneel down and "pay your respects to the Empress Dowager."
"Get up, how is Concubine Shu?"
Qingying stepped forward and helped the Empress Dowager sit down. "Don't worry, Empress Dowager. The midwife is staying by Concubine Shu's side, and the imperial physician is also standing guard outside the delivery room. Everything will be fine."
The Queen Mother then sat down, but her expression remained worried.
"Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman. This is Shupin's first child, so I'm really worried."
"The Empress Dowager is right. I'll have Xiuxia stay by Hailan's side and report anything immediately. Don't worry, just sit down for a while."
Now Qingying is the only one in power in the harem.
The old man knew that Hailan was under Qingying's protection and didn't dare to have any bad intentions.
The new bride had just entered the palace and had never seen Concubine Shu, who had been pregnant for a long time.
Naturally, no one dared, and no one would do anything to harm the fetus.
But when children grow up, they will always suffer.
After sitting there for several hours, a loud baby cry was finally heard in the delivery room.
The Queen Mother let out a long sigh, "Qingying, quickly send someone to check on Concubine Shu and the child. Are they okay?"
"Yes, don't worry, Empress Dowager, I'm sure he'll be fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiuxia hurried in, her face full of joy.
"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, and Concubine Shu have given birth to a little prince. Both mother and child are safe!"
"well!"
The Queen Mother was very happy and continued, "Where is the child? Xiuxia, have the midwife pack up and bring the child here quickly for me to see."
Xiuxia responded and went down, and Qingying followed suit, "Madam, I'll go check on Hailan."
"Okay, go ahead, go ahead."
After turning around and walking out the door, Qingying soon saw Hailan.
The people below moved quickly, and in just a few moments, everything was basically cleaned up.
Hailan was lying on the bed, but she was not asleep.
Xiuxia was about to go out with the child in her arms.
Qingying saw it and waved at her, "Let Concubine Shu take a look at the child first."
Xiuxia responded and stepped forward, placing the child next to Hailan.
"Empress Shupin."
Hailan turned around after hearing the voice, glanced at the child, then turned back to look at Qingying, "Sister, the Queen Mother must be getting anxious, let Xiuxia take the child first."
Qingying was stunned, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.
He waved his hand to let Xiuxia go down, and sat down beside Hailan's bed.
"The child looks older than when Yongji was born. You've worked hard."
Hailan's face was still a little pale.
Hearing this, he slowly shook his head and said, "The midwife and the imperial physician my sister arranged are both very good. I'm fine."
Looking at the other person's indifferent expression, Qingying always felt that she had overlooked something.
He reached out and pulled the quilt upwards, then casually asked, "Hai Lan, are you worried about something?"
Hailan's lips curled up. "Sister, I'm not very smart, but I'm not too stupid either."
"When the Emperor first ascended the throne, I was only a concubine. At that time, I had no intention of granting His Majesty favors, so naturally, my rank remained unchanged for a long time."
"But the Queen Mother suddenly spoke up and promoted me."
"Sister, I don't think I'm anything special. When it comes to embroidery, Concubine Rong of Shoukang Palace is much better than me. How can I be favored by the Empress Dowager just because of a few pieces of clothing?"
Hailan's voice was faint, and her eyes moved slightly to the top of the tent.
“From then on, I pondered over it every day.”
"But not only do I think so, I also can't figure out why the Queen Mother treats me so differently."
"Until one day, I accidentally learned that the Queen Mother also had a prince..."
Having said this, Hai Lan suddenly turned around again and looked at Qingying.
"Sister, I told you, I'm willing to do whatever you want me to do."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Qingying steadily and did not speak for a long time.
Qingying was a little stunned.
For a moment, he avoided Hai Lan's gaze and didn't know how to respond.
Finally, Hailan smiled again and said, "Sister, I do. I do."
"I don't want to see my sister in trouble, so let me say this myself."
Qingying's palms were slightly sweaty and her throat felt dry.
