Mrs. Zhang held down her paper umbrella and walked around the gate of Yanxi Palace. Then she swaggered towards Jiahe Palace with her umbrella.

I remembered that Concubine Lan had also told me to hang out in front of the Yufangzhai Palace so that the palace people passing by could see me.

But the rain was so heavy and sudden that her calves and trousers were soaked just by the time she got to the gate of Yanxi Palace. Yufangzhai was so far away. If she went to Yufangzhai again, she would be soaked to the skin.

As she thought about it, Mrs. Zhang decided not to go. Even if she really went, it was raining so hard that no palace servants might see her. She would just be asking for trouble.

If someone said that they had seen her wandering in front of the gate of Yanxi Palace, it would be the same if she directly admitted that she had also been to Yufangzhai.

As Zhang Pozi walked towards Jiahe Palace, the young palace maids and eunuchs passing by would stop and salute her even if they were in a hurry, knowing that she was the midwife of the prince, but her status was different from theirs.

Palace maid Xiaoyu "Hello, Granny Zhang. Granny Zhang, are you going to Jiahe Palace? Is Concubine Ru about to give birth?"

Mrs. Zhang said in high spirits, "That's because they know my decades of experience and specifically asked me to go. I won't say anything more. I'm going to help the master and his wife deliver the baby~"

Xiaoyu smiled and joked, "Then go to Granny Zhang quickly. I'm afraid there will be endless rewards after the delivery~"

Mrs. Zhang said, "Then I'll go first!"

After walking a few steps, he met the young eunuch Xiao Pengzi who had just been punished. Xiao Pengzi had to go to work in the rain. He was in a bad mood, so he didn't talk to Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang came all the way here in high spirits, but she was ignored by Xiao Pengzi. She was very upset, so she deliberately spat on the ground when Xiao Pengzi passed by her.

"Bah! I, an old woman, have to deliver a baby again. I'm not like some eunuchs who are destined to be childless for the rest of their lives~"

Xiao Pengzi said nothing, but clenched his fist tightly.

Looking back at Mrs. Zhang's spirited back, she also spat on the ground, "Bah, old woman, why are you so arrogant? Do you really think you have such an important job? It's ok to be a good midwife, but if there's a mistake, I'm afraid your old bones won't be enough to be used as firewood!"

After Xiao Pengzi finished cursing, he continued walking forward, but found that the road ahead was clearly the Yanxi Palace. Could it be that this old woman came out of the Yanxi Palace?

Jiahe Palace

The midwives had all arrived, and the imperial doctors had also come over one after another, ordering the eunuchs to boil the medicine for inducing labor outside the palace, so that Concubine Ru would suffer less and the prince would be born sooner.

"Ah! My cervix is ​​dilated! When can I give birth to a little prince?" Rupin's face turned pale with pain.

Mother Zhang said calmly, "Don't worry, Concubine Ru. This is your first child. First babies are always slow to grow. It can take three days and three nights to give birth. That's not uncommon!"

Rupin was even more desperate when she heard this. "What! Three days and three nights! I really can't stand it anymore..."

At this time, the kindhearted Mrs. Liu said, "Mrs. Zhang, please don't scare the queen. The queen is blessed by heaven and will surely give birth safely!"

Rupin clutched the corner of the quilt tightly. "Ah! Cheng'er, hurry up! Is the medicine ready? Go and get it ready!"

Cheng Er was also panicking when her own queen was giving birth. “Yes, the queen, I will go right away. No, I will go right away!!”

Mrs. Zhang secretly glanced at Rupin who was in unbearable pain, and she thought to herself with a smug look, "I'll just kill you bitch with pain, so I don't have to do it myself."

Yufangzhai

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Haitang closed the doors and windows to prevent the rain from coming in. "My dear, look at this heavy rain. I'm afraid it will be the last rain of this year."

Song Qingwan said, "Yes, it might snow next time."

Haitang said, "I heard that Concubine Ru from Jiahe Palace seems to be giving birth soon. Many people are rushing to Jiahe Palace."

Song Qingwan stood up immediately after hearing this. "What! Say it again! Concubine Ru is about to give birth!"

Haitang was frightened by Song Qingwan. "Yes, she is about to give birth. You scared me, young lady."

Song Qingwan paced back and forth. "No, I'm not at ease. I always feel like something is going to happen. Although I won't take the initiative to harm others, I have to be on guard to prevent others from framing me. I have to think of a way to create some alibis."

Haitang suggested, "Then...why don't we go to Fenghua Palace to find the queen, young lady?"

Song Qingwan refused decisively, "No, the Queen has mentioned it once before. If the Queen really wants to do it, I am with her now. If the truth comes out in the future, won't I become an accomplice in their eyes?"

Haitang was also scratching her head and thinking, "What about the Queen Mother, young lady?"

Song Qingwan shook her head. "The Queen Mother has always disliked the closeness of the concubines in the harem. If I suddenly approached her deliberately, no one would suspect me. The Queen Mother would first suspect that I had ulterior motives."

Song Qingwan thought for a long time and finally said, "Forget it, let's go find the emperor. Take the umbrella and let's go to the Yangxin Palace together."

Haitang held an umbrella for Song Qingwan and the two of them walked quickly to the Yangxin Palace.
