Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 469 Production

Yuntai Hall.

Imperial Concubine Yi, Meng Wuyue, sat at the top, sipping her tea.

Concubine Min Jiang Lanzhi sat below her, sighing leisurely, and from time to time looking at Concubine Yi Meng Wuyue sitting in the main seat, and then looking outside the palace.

"Sister Imperial Concubine, don't we have to wait outside the delivery room?"

What if His Majesty suddenly appears?

"Isn't Concubine Hui guarding outside the delivery room? His Majesty didn't come so quickly. Aren't you cold?"

Concubine Min Jiang Lanzhi complained, "That's right. I'm almost frozen all the way here. What's wrong with Concubine Meng? She came to Yuntai Palace in such a cold weather, with a big belly and about to give birth."

"The relationship between these two aunts and nieces is much better than that between Concubine Gui and Concubine Hui."

Jiang Lanzhi stroked the rabbit fur sleeves in her hands and couldn't help but say something rude.

Concubine Yi Meng Wu Yue showed no anger on her face. She just glanced at Concubine Min Jiang Lanzhi indifferently, with the corners of her lips slightly raised.

Outside the delivery room, Concubine Hui Meng Xinghe was standing outside the delivery room, pacing slowly, talking intermittently to Huai Xu behind her.

"Aunt Huaixu, you are leaving the palace. I really can't bear to let you go. I don't know if we will have the chance to meet again in the future."

"Your Majesty is so kind that he has given us, the old maids who have left the palace and are returning home, a chance to be evaluated. The maid who ranks first in the evaluation will be named 'Lady Rongqin' and return home in glory."

"I can't wait to take the assessment right away, get first place, be named Madam Rongqin, and return home in glory." Huai Xu responded with a smile in a relaxed tone.

There is one role for each person. In this evaluation, the title of “Mrs. Rongqin” was given to her because of her.

His Majesty once said that she would be able to retire with honor and return home, and now she has finally gotten what she has been waiting for.

Thinking of the end of last year, when His Majesty specially summoned her and let her choose her own title, Huai Xu's eyes were filled with tenderness.

"Aunt Huaixu, you are too confident, but His Majesty is indeed a good man. He can take care of the palace maids when they retire."

Qin Zhi once issued an edict that female officials and palace maids should retire from the palace when they were old. His rank would be raised by one level, and they would be transferred to the rank of women outside the palace, and be granted imperial decrees, so that they could return home with honor to retire.

As the head palace lady of Suzaku Palace, Huai Xu received the salary of a seventh-rank female official in the palace. When she left the palace, she could be granted the title of a sixth-rank Anren. The sixth rank was more than enough for people outside the palace.

"Aunt Huaixu, even if we don't get the title of Madam Rongqin, it's not bad to be named Yiren, Anren, or Ruren and retire. Let's not be too obsessed."

This kind of evaluation is most afraid of behind-the-scenes manipulation. Xiaoji from the Pepper Palace is also going to leave the palace. If Queen Shen Ningyue has any ideas about the imperial edict of "Madam Rongqin", Huai Xu should not hold too much hope to avoid disappointment.

"Your Highness, please rest assured. I know that if I get it, I am lucky. If I lose it, I will die. I will not die in anger just because I cannot get Madam Rongqin's imperial edict."

Huai Xu said jokingly.

"That's good."

Concubine Hui Meng Xinghe nodded and turned her gaze to the tightly closed door of the delivery room. She could still hear the screams and groans of two women in labor, Concubine Miao Yueji and Concubine Miao Heqing. She couldn't help but shiver.

In this feudal era, contraception was harmful to the body and unreliable. Fortunately, she was only pregnant with the fourth prince Qin Mingyun and the eighth princess Qin Lingwei. If she had given birth one after another, she might as well die. It would be too painful.

"Empress Hui, Empress Min asked me to ask you if you would like to go into the palace and have a cup of hot tea together. Both Empress Mang and Concubine Miao are having their first child, so I'm afraid they won't be born so soon. You..."

Meng Xinghe raised his hand slightly, "Okay, no need to say anything, go tell Concubine Min that I'm coming right away, Aunt Huaixu, will you come in with me, or..."

"Your Majesty, don't worry about me. I'm in good health. I'll be watching over you here. Please go in."

His Majesty bestows spiritual tea every month. It’s just a cold breeze, so there’s no pressure at all.

"alright."

Thinking of Huaixu's physical condition, which had always been as strong as a bull, Meng Xinghe turned and left.

"Sister is here."

Concubine Min Jiang Lanzhi waved to Meng Xinghe.

Concubine Hui Meng Xinghe bowed slightly to Concubine Yi Meng Wuyue, then sat down and said with a smile, "Sister Min, why did you suddenly call me sister?"

"You and Sister Imperial Concubine are sisters. I was just helping Sister Imperial Concubine greet you. Sister Huifei, please don't be offended."

"Don't be surprised. Everyone in the palace knows that you, Concubine Min, are a sieve that can't hide your thoughts."

Meng Wuyue, the Imperial Concubine Yi, who was sitting at the top, listened to the conversation between the two, chuckled, and said nothing.

Meng Xinghe held the hot tea in his hand, sipped it gently, exhaled a breath of white air, and whispered: "When will His Majesty come?"

"Your Majesty is not as free as we are, but it has been several hours, and I am tired of waiting. Sister Imperial Concubine, Sister Huifei, why don't we find out whether the baby born by Concubine Miao and Concubine Miao is a prince or a princess?"

Concubine Min Jiang Lanzhi, who was waiting with her chin in her hand in boredom, suddenly spoke with great interest.

Concubine Yi Meng Wuyue shook her head and said, "Concubine Min, be careful with your words. Whether the children born to Concubine Meng and Concubine Miao are princes or princesses, they are all royal blood and are extremely noble. They cannot be used for fun."

"But... Concubine Miao was about to give birth, but she didn't stay in her own Lanlin Palace to wait for the birth, but ran to Miao Cairen's Yuntai Palace. It's really puzzling, and she even gave birth prematurely. Fortunately, no worse news came."

Concubine Miao Yueji and Concubine Miao Heqing, the aunt and niece, came together to give birth to a child, and it was Miao Yueji who came to Yuntai Palace on her own initiative. She originally thought that the Miao family had discussed to "give" the prince to the more favored Miao Yueji, but now it was reported that Miao Yueji gave birth to a princess and Miao Heqing gave birth to a prince, it seems that she was too suspicious.

As the three were talking, two clear cries of babies were heard from the Yuntai Palace. The palace maids hurried out with joy on their faces and announced loudly, "Great joy, great joy! Concubine Miao gave birth to a little princess safely, and Concubine Miao gave birth to a little prince smoothly!"

Imperial Concubine Yi Meng Wuyue nodded slightly, and immediately instructed the eunuch beside her: "You two, go to Zhaozheng Palace and Jiaofang Palace immediately to report the good news to His Majesty and the Empress that Concubine Meng gave birth to a little princess, and Concubine Miao gave birth to a little prince, and both mother and son, mother and daughter are safe."
