On September 18th, at a quarter of the hour, Pei Xue's amniotic fluid broke in the Imperial Palace. Just after dinner time, she was taking her maid for a walk in the back garden. After walking for a quarter of an hour, she suddenly felt a stomachache and her pants instantly became wet.

"Quickly, carry the bed board over and let the third prince lie flat on his back and carry it to the room." Aunt Chang is a veteran and has seen a lot of scenes. She calmly gave instructions as soon as she saw the situation.

"Go and boil the hot water, boil the gauze and the tips, and do the rest as you were told before."

Pei Xue was the first child, and her initial panic gradually relaxed under Grandma Chang's methodical arrangements.

When Pei Xue was laid down and carried to the room in the main courtyard, Grandma Chang talked to her in a very calm voice along the way.

"There is no need to worry, the third prince's concubine. The imperial doctor comes every day to check Ping An's pulse and check the fetal position. It is normal. The third prince's concubine is in good health. Now, save your strength. After opening her fingers, listen to the old slave's command to inhale and exhale. We are very happy."

I’ll see my little master soon.”

Pei Xue smiled and nodded. Now that her stomach didn't hurt much anymore, she was obedient and didn't talk much to conserve her energy.

The third prince received the report from his father-in-law in the palace. After bidding farewell to the emperor, he immediately rushed to the prince's residence. He also asked his confidants to report to Prince Jin's Mansion, hoping that Prince Jin's concubine would come to the palace.

In Prince Jin's Mansion, Chen Xiuyan's family also just had a meal. The weather has turned cooler today, so they prepared a pot for dinner. It would take more time to eat the pot. After eating, they would go to eat, so they thought they could go back to the house to wash up.

I went to bed, but I didn't expect that as soon as I returned to the house, someone came to report someone from the palace.

Chen Xiuyan's first reaction was that Pei Xue was about to give birth, and she hurried to the front yard in a hurry. Chu Wenqian and Aunt Mu also followed, and then the three of them followed their father-in-law into the palace.

The father-in-law of the Prince's Office personally led the people, and the couple and Grandma Mu went directly to the Prince's Office without any obstruction. As soon as they arrived at the third prince's courtyard, they heard faint cries of pain, and Chen Xiuyan speeded up her pace unconsciously.

Although Chu Wenqian was a foreign boy, his father-in-law led people directly to the backyard without restraint. As soon as they entered the main courtyard door, Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan saw the third prince pacing back and forth in the corridor.

"Cousin, sister-in-law." As soon as the third prince saw someone, he hurried forward and called for someone, "Sister-in-law, could you please go in and have a look."

Chen Xiuyan understood the third prince's worry and immediately nodded and entered the main room.

"Ah, um--" After bursts of pain, Chen Xiuyan felt that she had walked around the screen to the inner room, and then saw Pei Xue lying on the clean quilt with sweat on her face.

"Show, show off." Pei Xue felt inexplicably determined when she saw Chen Xiuyan.

"I'm here, Pei Liu, don't worry." Chen Xiuyan smiled and reassured, then looked at Aunt Chang who was at the foot of the bed, "Mommy, please spread your fingers."

"Two fingers." Aunt Chang said with a slightly calm expression.

Chen Xiuyan saw the situation at a glance, sat on the edge of the bed, held Pei Xue's hand, and took the opportunity to check her pulse. Her expression was indifferent, but her heart was a little cold. Pei Xue's pulse showed that she had used blood-activating drugs.

"You see it's red?" Chen Xiuyan asked.

"No, the amniotic fluid broke." Aunt Chang replied.

"I'll write two prescriptions and let people boil the medicine, which can speed up the production of the third prince." Chen Xiuyan quickly wrote the prescription and asked people to pick up the medicine. When the medicine is ready, she will check it in person, and then ask Grandma Mu to be there.

Cook directly in the house.

The presence of Aunt Chang still made Pei Xue fall into the trap. Chen Xiuyan didn't trust others. Only when Aunt Mu cooked it, and then under her own nose, could she really feel at ease.

After boiling the medicine for two-quarters of an hour, Chen Xiuyan had someone cool it with ice and give it to Pei Xue. After taking it, Pei Xue's screams of pain became quieter soon after.

"Xiuyan, did you put some painkillers in the medicine? I feel less pain now than before." Pei Xue's sweaty face showed a trace of relaxation, and then there was less sweat.

An hour later, Pei Xue cried out in pain again, but Grandma Chang's slightly gloomy face finally became clearer, "The third prince's concubine opened her fingers, opened her fingers."

In a quarter of an hour, Pei Xue opened the medicine to the eighth finger. Seeing this, Chen Xiuyan asked Aunt Mu to start brewing another batch of medicine.

Another two-quarters of an hour later, a burst of powerful cries came. Grandma Chang held the child in her hands and looked at the child's lower body with the first smile of the night on her face, "Congratulations to the third prince, you are a little grandson."

, this will be the eldest grandson of the Holy Emperor."

Grandma Chang neatly cut off the umbilical cord, cleaned the baby with a warm cloth, and wrapped it in the swaddling clothes that had been prepared. However, the cautious Grandma Chang suddenly paused during the action and looked at Chen Xiuyan.

Chen Xiuyan sat back and checked the swaddling clothes herself, and then nodded to Aunt Chang. Aunt Chang happily wrapped the baby and put it next to the third prince's concubine, "Look at the baby, how loud it is crying.

When you hear his voice, he sounds like an energetic little master."

After tidying up the child, Grandma Chang returned to the foot of the bed and began to tidy up Pei Xue. Looking at the small amount of blood pouring out, Grandma Chang had a bad premonition.

"Prince Princess, the medicine is ready." Aunt Mu boiled the medicine in time. Chen Xiuyan used the previous method to cool down, and then fed Pei Xue. All the medicinal materials she had sent before were used, so not long after feeding, her lower body

The blood flow gradually stopped, and Grandma Chang looked at Chen Xiuyan with eyes full of admiration and gratitude.

"The birth of the third prince's concubine went well. Mother and child are safe. This old slave will report the good news to the third prince now, and also send someone to send congratulations to the Holy Emperor and the empress." Aunt Chang tidied up Pei Xue and was about to pick up the child.

But Chen Xiuyan stopped it first, opened the swaddling clothes, turned the child over and over, and looked at it carefully, "This child has a red mole on his ankle. He is really sensible. It left a mark on it when he was born, so you can't recognize it."

"

Chen Xiuyan's words reminded Grandma Chang, and the third prince and concubine also heard the hidden meaning.

Chen Xiuyan wrapped the child again, and then Grandma Chang went out with the child in her arms.

After a while, the excited voices of the third prince outside were heard in the room, and then a burst of fast footsteps came in. Chen Xiuyan stood up to greet her. As expected, the third prince came in. He walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, touching the bed.

He touched Pei Xue's cheek and thanked her for giving Chu the first boy of his generation.

"Eunuch Xu came half an hour ago, and the queen, concubine, and others from the palace are also here. Now they have all gone back to announce the good news. Concubine will come to see you in person later..."

When Chen Xiuyan saw the young couple in the room talking to each other, she took Grandma Mu out quietly, and happened to meet Grandma Chang holding the child at the door.

When Aunt Chang came out alone, she walked directly in front of Chen Xiuyan and bowed, "I'd like to trouble you, Crown Princess, and I'll explain the matter to the noble concubine in detail with my slave later."

"Okay." Chen Xiuyan nodded in agreement.
