Transmigrating into a book, seducing him to rise to power

Time flies by in the blink of an eye.

This year, due to His Majesty's serious illness, the New Year celebrations were exceptionally simple. The entire palace seemed shrouded in a somber and oppressive atmosphere, filled with endless sorrow.

The Lantern Festival arrives just two weeks after the Lunar New Year.

Su Jingyao finally reached the moment of her impending delivery.

The Queen had meticulously prepared the delivery room well in advance and had even arranged for five experienced midwives to be on standby.

Upon hearing the report from the palace servants of Xiyan Palace, Imperial Physician Li arrived early outside the palace to wait, his attention fully focused.

We have made thorough preparations in case any unexpected situations arise.

This was Su Jingyao's first time giving birth, and she felt incredibly unfamiliar and nervous about everything.

Fortunately, she had an experienced nanny, Li, taking good care of her, and several experienced midwives assisting her.

She was carefully carried into the delivery room.

Waves of pain surged through her, and her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.

Clenching his teeth tightly, each breath felt incredibly difficult.

The pain of childbirth is truly unbearable!

Moreover, in this backward ancient world, a slight mistake could endanger one's life.

If Su Jingyao hadn't had enough confidence in her carefully maintained body, she probably wouldn't have dared to get pregnant and give birth so easily.

After all, in ancient times, childbirth was an extremely dangerous thing, and a slight mistake could cost you your life!

After experiencing frequent contractions, Su Jingyao officially began the arduous labor process.

Her voice grew louder and louder, her painful cries echoing in the delivery room, as if she wanted to release all her suffering.

Her hands gripped the blankets tightly, her fingers turning pale from the effort, her knuckles slightly protruding, revealing the immense pain she was enduring.

My body was trembling uncontrollably from the pain.

They did everything they could for their child.

When Jun Zechen rushed over, he heard her painful groans coming from inside.

The voice seemed to be a cry from the depths of the soul, so heart-wrenching that it was unbearable to hear.

Tonight is the Lantern Festival, and a small banquet is being held in the palace.

Because Su Jingyao's belly was too big and she had difficulty moving around, she did not participate.

When the palace servants of Xiyan Palace went to report to the Crown Prince, the banquet had not yet ended.

Upon hearing the news, Jun Zechen was extremely anxious and rushed over immediately.

The Empress presided over the banquet.

"This humble servant greets Your Highness the Crown Prince."

The palace servants of Xiyan Palace all knelt down and bowed in unison.

"Your Highness, this humble subject pays respects." Imperial Physician Li also quickly stepped forward and bowed.

Jun Zechen's expression was solemn, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of worry and concern.

The woman's painful groans echoed in his ears, making his heart feel as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, causing him immense suffering.

"Get up, everyone. What's the situation?"

Jun Zechen's voice was low and hoarse, filled with anxiety and worry.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the concubine is doing very well with this pregnancy, and the baby is in the correct position. She will surely give birth to the imperial heir safely."

Physician Li quickly replied, his voice carrying a hint of comfort.

Jun Zechen frowned and nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, but his anxiety did not lessen at all.

In order to get to Xiyan Palace as quickly as possible, he quickened his pace considerably.

Gradually, the Crown Princess, Consort An, and others also arrived, except for Consort Tang, who was currently in a very uncomfortable condition.

Miaoyun, Miaoxia, and Granny Li stayed with their mistress in the delivery room, while Miaoyue and Miaoxue waited outside.

Seeing so many masters arrive, Miaoyue stepped forward.

"Your Highness, it seems the Empress's delivery will take some more time. Would Your Highness and the other masters like to sit in the next room?"

Jun Zechen glanced at the women behind him, his brows furrowing even more.

"Please take them to sit next door, Your Highness."

"Isn't Your Highness going?" Ling Yue asked.

"I will stay here and guard this place." Jun Zechen's tone was firm and resolute.

A pang of sorrow welled up in Ling Yue's heart. She lowered her eyes and said, "Your Highness, I will stay here and watch over my sister as well."

Then, she turned to the other concubines and said, "If you sisters are tired, go and rest in the warm pavilion next door."

Seeing that His Highness and the Crown Princess were standing guard outside the delivery room, An Liangdi and the others naturally wouldn't go to rest and make a fool of themselves.

They all showed resolute expressions, indicating their willingness to patiently wait for Consort Su to give birth.

Time passed second by second, and almost an hour had gone by.

Su Jingyao was drenched in sweat, her whole body soaked, as if she had just been pulled out of the water.

His pale face turned red from the exertion, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

One of the midwives excitedly shouted, "Consort, the head is out! The head is out! Push harder!"

Su Jingyao gripped Li Mama's hand tightly. Hearing this, she gritted her teeth and mustered all her strength once more.

She never wants to have any more children!

Finally, a loud cry rang out, and the baby was born.

The moment the midwife saw the child, her eyes lit up with surprise and joy. "It's the Emperor's grandson! It's the little Emperor's grandson!"

The people in the delivery room cheered and jumped for joy, their faces beaming with happiness.

This is His Highness the Crown Prince's eldest son!

Such a joyous occasion will surely bring a generous reward.

Granny Li and several midwives carefully cleaned the baby, then carried the baby out of the delivery room.

The moment Su Jingyao gave birth, it was as if all her strength had been drained away, and she collapsed weakly into a deep sleep.

Miaoyun and Miaoxia helped her take care of herself, changing her into clean undergarments and tidying her appearance.

Their master had long instructed them to maintain a perfect image in front of His Highness the Crown Prince at all times and in all places, and not to slack off even after giving birth.

After all, Su Jingyao couldn't be sure how much Jun Zechen liked her, and she absolutely couldn't make any mistakes in front of her boss.

When Jun Zechen heard the child crying, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

His eyes fell on the child in Li Mama's arms, and then he couldn't wait to step into the delivery room to see her.

Seeing this, the midwives quickly stopped him.

"Your Highness, you mustn't! The delivery room is bloody and filthy; you can't go in!"

Jun Zechen's face was gloomy; he had seen all kinds of bloody scenes.

This delivery room is filled with the blood of his woman and child, so why can't he go in and see it?

"How dare you! What place can't I enter?"

He insisted on going in, and at that moment, Granny Li, holding the child, hurriedly came forward and earnestly persuaded him to leave.

"Your Highness, if you go into the delivery room today, there will likely be much gossip about her in the palace tomorrow. Please consider her well-being!"

Jun Zechen had already taken a step, but before it even landed, he heard Li Mama's words and withdrew his foot.

He will abolish these outdated rules sooner or later!

But in order not to cause trouble for her who had just given birth, Jun Zechen held back and did not take any further steps.

At this moment, the Empress also rushed over, her face beaming with a satisfied smile, clearly because a palace servant had informed her in advance that the concubine had given birth to a grandson of the emperor.

"Quickly bring my grandson here so I can have a good look at him!"

The Queen spoke impatiently, her voice full of anticipation.

Granny Li carefully carried the child and steadily walked to the Empress.

The Queen slowly removed her nail guards and gently stroked the child's delicate cheek with the back of her hand, her movements so tender, as if afraid of hurting the little life.

"Good, good, good! What a wonderful grandson of mine! All those who delivered the concubine's baby today will be richly rewarded, and all the palace servants of Xiyan Palace will also receive a reward!"

The Queen's voice was filled with joy and love.

"Your Highness, come and see, this child looks just like you," the Empress said to Jun Zechen with a smile.

Seeing his mother so happy, Jun Zechen was also filled with joy.

His gaze fell on the child, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

This was his first child, and he had finally become a father, a feeling that was both novel and exciting.

However, at this moment, what he really wanted to see was her after giving birth.

Not long after, Miaoyun and Miaoxia carefully moved the tidied Su Jingyao back to her bedroom.

Seeing this, Jun Zechen could no longer suppress his anxiety and rushed in like an arrow released from a bow.

Ling Yue stood to the side, watching Jun Zechen's anxious back, a hint of bewilderment in her eyes.

It turns out that Su Jingyao really was so different to him.

He wasn't concerned about Su Jingyao because she was pregnant; his concern for her was genuine, sincere, and without any impurities.

Jun Zechen sat quietly by the bed, while Physician Li focused intently on taking the concubine's pulse.

"Your Highness, the concubine is not seriously ill; she has simply fainted from exhaustion during childbirth."

Physician Li spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of relief.

"Your Majesty, I will prepare a bowl of nourishing soup for you to replenish your qi and blood. After that, you will only need to take care of yourself normally during your postpartum period."

"Yes, Consort, you've taken good care of this pregnancy. Anshun, reward Physician Li with one hundred taels of silver."

Jun Zechen's deep voice rang out, carrying a hint of authority.

An Shun respectfully responded, and Physician Li hurriedly knelt down to express his gratitude, a gratified smile on his face, his heart filled with emotion.

Not easy.

After Physician Li left, Jun Zechen waved his hand, signaling everyone else to leave.

The bedchamber fell silent, leaving only him and Su Jingyao lying on the bed.

His gaze gently fell on the woman's pale face, which was not diminished in the slightest by her pregnancy.

Her skin was fair and without any puffiness, and even her limbs remained slender and long.

Now that she has given birth, her delicate, willow-like figure seems to have reappeared.

Heaven truly favored her.

If Su Jingyao knew that this man attributed her hard-earned appearance and figure to God's favor, she would probably be so angry she'd wake up.

Everything she has is the result of her own hard work.

Jun Zechen gently reached out and tenderly stroked the stray hairs on her forehead.

The image of hearing her heartbreaking cries outside the delivery room flashed through my mind.

At that moment, he wasn't looking forward to the arrival of his child; instead, he was filled with heartache.

How could someone who is so afraid of pain endure the pain of childbirth?

At this moment, a tender affection flickered in Jun Zechen's eyes that he himself was unaware of.
