Chapter 525: Story of Yanxi Palace Er Qing 58
"Ah——!" Er Qing's scream echoed throughout the Yongshou Palace, and the people waiting outside the palace were terrified.
The midwife was sweating profusely, but she had no other choice but to comfort her: "Madam, just try harder, the baby will be out soon!"
Qianlong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He held Erqing's hand and kept saying, "Qing'er, just bear with it. It will be better soon, it will be better soon..."
Er Qing felt as if her bones were being torn apart, and the pain came in waves, almost swallowing her. She clenched her teeth tightly to prevent herself from fainting. She wanted to live, give birth to a prince for the emperor, and become the most noble woman in the harem!
I don’t know how long it took, but Er Qing finally felt her stomach loosen up, and with a loud cry, a new life was born.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, it's a little prince!" The midwife cried with joy and quickly held the child in front of Qianlong.
Qianlong looked at the wrinkled little person in the cradle, his heart filled with joy. He carefully picked up the child, patted his back gently, and said softly: "Good child, good child..."
However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Er Qing's stomach began to hurt violently again.
Qianlong didn't care about the prince in his arms, and hurried back to Erqing, asking anxiously: "Qing'er, what's wrong with you?"
The midwife did not dare to delay and immediately got back to the delivery.
This time, Er Qing suffered even more than before. She felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss, with endless darkness and pain surrounding her.
There was another cry, but it was different from the previous one because this one was more tender, like a bud just poking its head out from a branch in spring, with a sense of newborn fragility.
The midwife held the child in front of Qianlong and smiled happily: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, it's a lovely little princess!"
Qianlong looked at the wrinkled little face in the cradle, and his heart was filled with joy. This was his and Qing'er's first daughter! He carefully took the child and said softly, "Okay, okay, they are all my good children..."
But Er Qing on the bed seemed to have exhausted all her strength. Her originally fair face was pale, her hair at her temples were soaked with sweat, and her lips were trembling slightly, but she could not make a sound.
"Qing'er! Qing'er, what's wrong with you!" Qianlong noticed that Erqing was acting strangely, and his heart suddenly became flustered. He put down the child in his arms, held Erqing's hand tightly, and there was a hint of trembling in his voice.
"Doctor, come and take a look!"
The imperial physician did not dare to neglect the matter and hurried forward to check the patient's pulse, but his brows were getting tighter and tighter. Qianlong's heart was in his throat and he asked anxiously, "How is it? How is Qing'er?"
The imperial physician pondered for a moment, and said in a serious tone: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is suffering from postpartum deficiency of Qi and blood. She also spent too much energy during childbirth, which is why she is so weak. She needs to be properly nursed back to health."
Qianlong was relieved. As long as she was fine, it was fine. He gently stroked Erqing's cheek and said softly, "Qing'er, rest assured and take care of yourself. I will be here with you."
When the twins, a boy and a girl, were born, Qianlong's heart was filled with unprecedented joy and pride.
This pair of twins is not only the fruit of his love with Erqing, but also carries his hopes and expectations for the future of the Qing Empire.
"I will give them good names." Qianlong's voice echoed in the palace, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.
Er Qing sat beside the bed, looking at the baby in the cradle tenderly, her heart filled with excitement.
She asked softly, "Your Majesty, what are you going to name them?"
"The boy's name is 'Yongqing', which means 'prosperity'; the girl's name is 'Fengyao', which means 'like a phoenix flying to the sky'."
Qianlong pondered for a moment, his eyes revealing his vision for the future: "These two names have both my charm and my expectations for their future."
Er Qing nodded, secretly delighted. These two names were full of profound meanings, which not only showed the nobility of the royal family, but also expressed the father's earnest expectations for his children.
In her heart, this is not only a name, but also a mission.
Concubine Chun stood quietly in Qiancheng Palace. Time passed slowly. The sunlight outside shone through the window lattice and reflected on her exquisite makeup.
"My Lady, would you like some tea?" the maid beside her asked cautiously. Concubine Chun shook her head, still staring out the window, as if waiting for something.
Concubine Chun didn't expect Er Qing to be able to give birth to the child alive. She smashed the teacup in her hand to the ground. The sound of the broken porcelain was particularly harsh in the quiet palace.
Her heart was filled with anger and resentment, Er Qing, what a little bitch!
Concubine Chun sat in the magnificent palace, gazing out at the courtyard through the carved windows, her heart filled with turbulent emotions.
The sunlight shone on her delicate face, casting a gentle halo, but her eyes were as dark as the abyss.
Er Qing, who was loved by everyone, actually dared to show off in front of her, as if everything was natural.
"I can't let her continue to be so proud." Concubine Chun whispered to herself with a sneer on her lips.
When the empress dowager heard that the imperial concubine had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, which symbolized good luck, she was very happy. She seemed to be unable to wait and went to Yongshou Palace with gifts.
Surrounded by the crowd, the Queen Mother slowly walked into the bedroom. Looking at Er Qing, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, and the two babies sleeping in the cradle beside her, a relieved smile appeared on her kind face.
"Good boy, thank you for your hard work." The Queen Mother patted Erqing's hand lovingly, her tone full of pity.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's not hard for me." Er Qing smiled weakly, with a hint of fatigue in her voice, but it couldn't hide the joy of being a mother for the first time.
The Queen Mother walked over to the wet nurse and looked at the two children carefully.
Of the two children, one is white and chubby and sleeps soundly, while the other is thin but also very cute.
"These two children are so good looking." The Queen Mother looked at the children with a loving smile on her face.
"Especially this little one, his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to the emperor's childhood."
Upon hearing this, Qianlong also moved forward and took a closer look at the child. Just as the empress dowager had said, the child's eyebrows and eyes did bear some resemblance to him when he was a child.
"The Empress Dowager is right. This child will definitely be a rare talent in the future!" Qianlong said, his eyes full of pride and expectation.
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Er Qing and said gently, "Er Qing, you have made an invaluable contribution by giving birth to two children for the royal family. I will reward you well."
"I thank the Empress Dowager for her grace." Er Qing said quickly, but she was secretly proud in her heart.
