Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

In the blink of an eye, two months had passed and the pregnant woman in the palace was about to give birth.

"Your Majesty, please walk slower." The nanny beside the queen reminded nervously.

The Queen waved her hands impatiently: "Why are you so slow? Lan Yuexuan is about to give birth. This is the first child the Emperor has welcomed since he ascended the throne. There must be no mistakes."

The nanny quickly comforted her, "Your Highness, no matter what the baby is, your status will not change. And you are still raising the eldest prince."

The queen said confidently, "Of course I'm not afraid. Now in the harem, I'm the only one who hasn't given birth to a child!"

"Your Majesty..." The nanny seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"The Emperor must select a concubine tomorrow. The harem has few offspring." The Queen frowned and said, with a hint of worry and helplessness in her voice.

"Your Majesty, this is too unfair to you." The nanny beside her looked at the queen with pity, her eyes full of reluctance.

The queen shook her head slightly and said with a smile: "As the queen, I must consider the continuation of the royal bloodline. This is my responsibility. Although I am a little sad, this is for the overall situation."

Nanny sighed, and understood the Queen's difficulties. She knew that the Queen had always done her best to manage the harem and share the pressure for the Emperor, but now she had to face this situation.

The queen took a deep breath and continued, "We can't just consider our own feelings, we must also consider the future of the country. Only through the selection can we allow more outstanding women to enter the harem and give birth to princes for the emperor, thus ensuring the inheritance of the throne."

Mammy nodded, indicating that she understood the Queen's decision. She knew that the Queen had always been a responsible person, and she was willing to give everything for the country and the royal family.

The queen stopped and looked into the distance, her eyes firm and deep.

Soon, the queen walked to the outside of Lanyuexuan. As she reached the door, she suddenly heard a scream from inside: "Ah! It hurts!" The voice sounded very painful.

When the queen heard this, she was shocked and hurriedly walked into the Lanyue Pavilion, shouting as she walked, "What's wrong? What happened to Concubine Lu? What happened?" Her tone was full of concern and anxiety.

After entering the main hall, the queen saw a group of palace maids gathered together, busying themselves in panic. She walked forward and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Why is Concubine Lu in such pain?"

A palace maid quickly replied: "Your Majesty, Concubine Lu is about to give birth."

Upon hearing this, the queen's face became grim, but she quickly regained her composure and began to give orders: "Go and get the midwives, have them come as soon as possible." Then, she pointed to another maid and said, "You, go to the Imperial Hospital and get the imperial physician here right away."

Then, she turned to the third maid and ordered, "You, report to the emperor immediately and ask him to come quickly."

Finally, she turned to look at the senior palace maid beside her and said, "You stay here to take care of Concubine Lu, and report to me at any time if there is any situation."

The queen arranged everything in an orderly manner, and then sat quietly by the side waiting. She was extremely nervous, hoping that Concubine Lu could give birth to a prince smoothly.

At this time, a midwife hurried over. She quickly checked Concubine Lu's condition, then said to the Queen with a happy face: "Your Majesty, great news! The fetus is in a normal position and should be able to give birth soon." After hearing this, the Queen felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, the emperor also arrived at Lanyuexuan. He asked about Lu Guiren's condition with an anxious look on his face, and the queen comforted him softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the midwife said everything is normal."

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, a crisp baby cry was heard. "It's born! It's born! It's a little princess!" the midwife shouted excitedly. The queen and the emperor looked at each other, and both showed happy smiles on their faces.

However, just when everyone was immersed in joy, the midwife suddenly exclaimed: "There is another baby in the belly, my lady, keep pushing!" Everyone was shocked and looked at each other. The emperor also widened his eyes, unable to believe what he heard.

Concubine Lu used all her strength and finally gave birth to another baby boy. As the baby cried, the room fell into silence, followed by cheers and blessings.

The sound of a baby crying "Wow~" resounded throughout the Lanyue Pavilion.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Concubine Lu has given birth to another prince." The midwife excitedly reported the good news to the emperor.

Everyone was shocked and sent their blessings to Concubine Lu and the two children. This was not only a miraculous birth, but also a great joy for the royal family. The birth of the two grandchildren made people look forward to the future and also foreshadowed the prosperity of the dynasty.

"Okay, hahaha!" The emperor laughed.

"I congratulate the emperor on having another heir," said the queen.

"No need to be so polite, Queen." The emperor said with a smile.

"What title do you think should be given to Concubine Lu after she gives birth to a prince or princess?" asked the emperor.

"This..." the queen hesitated.

"Queen, please feel free to speak!" said the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Lu has made great contributions in childbirth and should be promoted to the rank of concubine," said the Queen.

"Well, that's good. Then promote her to concubine." The emperor nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." said the Queen.

"I have one more thing to ask the Queen. Concubine Lu is weak after giving birth and needs good care. I'll trouble the Queen to take care of the affairs of the harem." said the Emperor.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best to take care of Concubine Lu," said the Queen.

"That's very good." said the emperor.

"Your Majesty, it was not easy for Concubine Lu to give birth to a child this time. You must reward her more." The Queen reminded.

"I know. I have already given the order to give Concubine Lu a generous reward." said the emperor.

"Your Majesty is wise," said the Queen.

"Okay, let's stop here today. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to the palace to rest first." said the emperor.

"Farewell, His Majesty." The Queen and everyone else bowed.

Not long after, an imperial decree to confer the title of imperial concubine was issued to Lu Qingqing.

At this time, Lu Qingqing was lying weakly on the bed, looking at her newborn children with a kind look. Her face was as pale as paper, but her eyes were filled with endless joy and tenderness.

When she saw her maids walking into the room, Lu Qingqing smiled. When the maids saw that Concubine Lu had woken up, they knelt on the ground together and shouted in unison: "Congratulations, Concubine Lu!"

Lu Qingqing nodded slightly and said softly, "Everyone get up." Although her voice was weak, it revealed a firmness and confidence.

Everyone in the harem knew that Lu Qingqing had been promoted to a concubine. It was true that a mother's status was enhanced by her son.

"Bang!" A set of teacups broke to the ground. "What a great Lu Qingqing! She gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and also got promoted." Concubine Jing said while throwing things with her big belly.

The maidservant beside Concubine Jing knelt down hurriedly: "Your Majesty, calm down. Be careful not to upset the fetus."

"How can I not be angry? My belly is already seven months big, and Lu Qingqing was only pregnant two months earlier than me. But now she has become a concubine, while I am still a concubine. How can I gain a foothold in the palace in the future?" Concubine Jing was so angry that her face turned red.

"Don't be angry, Your Majesty. You are pregnant with a dragon seed. After the child is born, the Emperor will definitely promote you." The maid comforted her.

"Hmph, I hope so. If I wasn't pregnant and unable to serve the Emperor, how could I let that bitch succeed?" Concubine Jing said gritting her teeth.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Emperor values ​​you and the fetus in your belly the most. Lu Qingqing is just favored temporarily." The maid continued to comfort her.

Concubine Jing took a deep breath and calmed down: "I know this, but I just can't swallow this anger."

"Your Majesty, the most urgent thing is to take care of your health and give birth to a prince smoothly. By then, no one will be able to shake your position." The palace maid reminded.

Concubine Jing nodded: "I understand, but I feel really depressed."

"Your Majesty, why don't we think of a way to please the Emperor?" suggested the palace maid.

"Well, you are right. I cannot just sit there and wait for death. I must take action." A hint of determination flashed in Concubine Jing's eyes.
