Chapter 125 - 120: The Ruthless Emperor
Watching the fate of the midwife and the little palace maid, the rest of the attendants became even more diligent, merely hoping that the Empress could give birth quickly without any mishaps.
Perhaps due to Ye Qiu’s furious deterrence, the ensuing childbirth went rather smoothly, and until the child was born, nobody dared to make a move.
"Wa...wa..."
Upon hearing the cries of the newborn from the delivery room, Ye Qiu and the Crown Prince abruptly stood upright.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Empress has given birth to a little princess." After a short while, a slightly plump midwife with a round face, holding a swaddled baby jubilantly, came out and joyously reported to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu looked at the crimson-faced infant in the swaddle, feeling a strong surge of emotion within, but his primary concern at this moment was the Empress’s condition, and he anxiously asked: "What about the Empress? How is she?"
The midwife, seeing his words, beamed even more broadly. They say the Imperial Family has no true affection, but from what this old lady has seen, the Emperor’s concern for the Empress is certainly genuine, hence she said smilingly: "Your Majesty may rest assured, the Empress is not seriously harmed, she’s just a bit tired after the childbirth and fell asleep after seeing the little princess."
Only then did Ye Qiu relax, taking his little princess into his arms, and laughed heartily: "A reward, today everyone in Weiyang Palace shall be rewarded with a year’s monthly salary."
