Chapter 304 Yandere Emperor × Pampered and Soft Concubine 18 (The End)
"Let the little prince sleep next to the Imperial Concubine first, so that she can see him as soon as she wakes up. You are all at her service at any time."
The emperor felt a great weight lifted from his heart, and only then did he begin to experience the joy of the imperial concubine giving birth to a son.
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
The wet nurse, the nanny, and several maids lived in the west side hall, which was close to the main hall and convenient for serving them.
The little one slept peacefully beside Chu Yue, while the emperor sat by the bed watching, utterly content.
It was almost dawn when Chu Yue gave birth to the little prince, and by the time she woke up from her deep sleep, it was already noon.
Still feeling unwell, Chu Yue weakly opened her eyes and rested for a while.
"Your Majesty, you're awake..." Qiu Tong tiptoed in and asked.
"Hmm..." Chu Yue looked over and immediately fell silent. She saw the little guy in her arms.
"Your Majesty, you've been asleep for quite some time. The Empress Dowager even came by, but left when she saw you weren't awake," Qiu Tong said softly. "The little prince has been fed, Your Majesty, please don't worry."
Qiu Tong helped her sit up and fed Chu Yue some water.
Chu Yue smiled weakly and gently tapped the little one's face: "So small..."
Qiu Tong glanced around cautiously and lowered her voice, "Your Majesty, even His Majesty doesn't dare to hug you..."
Chu Yue's smile deepened: "Where is His Majesty...?"
"His Majesty stayed by your side all morning, but had to leave suddenly due to other matters."
"it is good……"
The emperor arrived shortly after she finished speaking, looking rather anxious. Seeing that Chu Yue had woken up, he asked, "My beloved concubine, you're awake. Are you still feeling unwell?"
Chu Yue leaned against the pillow, the little prince nestled in her arms, the mother and son snuggling together. The emperor's heart trembled violently, and his eyes welled up with tears.
"His Majesty……"
Chu Yue called out weakly, and the emperor immediately sat down and embraced her, saying, "My beloved concubine has suffered."
"Your Majesty...it hurts so much..." Chu Yue said softly, feeling aggrieved.
"I know that my beloved consort has suffered. She has rendered meritorious service by giving birth to the prince and should be placed in the position of empress."
"Your Majesty...may I ask?" Chu Yue looked at the emperor pitifully.
"Of course I can. With me here, there's nothing I can't do."
"Very well, Your Majesty's will."
After the emperor fed her, Chu Yue fell asleep again. She was weak from childbirth and needed time to recover.
When the little prince was one month old, Chu Yue was made empress and the little prince was made crown prince.
The Empress Dowager was extremely fond of him, and the little prince spent most of his time being raised in Anhua Palace.
The Empress Dowager's intention was for the Emperor and Empress to get along well, and if possible, she naturally hoped for a large and prosperous royal family.
However, given the concubine's health condition, she did not insist on it.
When Consort Xu and the others went to pay their respects, they would sometimes tease the little prince. To avoid arousing the Empress's suspicion, they dared not do much, but their affection for the little prince was genuine.
Phoenix Palace
Chu Yue glanced at herself in the mirror and pouted in dissatisfaction. The emperor had been giving her tonics every day to help her recover, which was why she had gained weight.
Unable to bear it any longer, Chu Yue went into the inner room and sat on the bed angrily.
"Empress, who upset you?" The Emperor entered and saw the Empress sitting there with a displeased expression.
"It's His Majesty... Hmph..." Chu Yue snorted and turned her head away.
The emperor chuckled helplessly. She was practically ready to hand over the throne to him; how could he dare to offend her?
"Your Majesty, I've gained weight..." Chu Yue complained plaintively.
Is it really such a small matter?
The emperor was helpless, besides, he couldn't see where the empress had gained weight.
"I don't think the Empress has gained weight. She's overweight." The Emperor put his arm around her; she wasn't very fleshy.
Chu Yue remained silent, leaning sullenly against the emperor's chest.
"Empress, what day is it today?" the Emperor asked again.
"Fifteen..." came a sullen voice.
"Then...shouldn't the Empress allow me to sleep with her in bed?" the Emperor whispered to Chu Yue.
Chu Yue: "..."
There wasn't a single day that I wasn't at Fengxian Palace, so why bother with the first and fifteenth of the month?
"Ok?"
"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue declined, "This concubine will go to see the prince."
"Your Majesty, the prince is with his mother."
"..."
"Alright, how long do you intend to hide? I can't stand it anymore." The emperor kissed Chu Yue without further ado.
After his resistance proved futile and the emperor had been holding back for so long, Chu Yue finally fainted from the torment.
Knowing that the Empress was unlikely to conceive, the Emperor did not restrain himself much and indulged in his love for her every night.
Unexpectedly, when the little prince was almost a year old, Chu Yue became pregnant again, and the emperor was so shocked that he almost lost his footing.
After the imperial physician examined the emperor's pulse several times, the emperor finally believed it, feeling both happy and worried.
The days of anxiety and worry that he experienced while pregnant with the little prince have descended upon the emperor once again.
Chu Yue didn't care. She ate and slept well during this pregnancy and was in great health.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong during the delivery, and it was another little prince.
Now that there were two little princes, the Empress Dowager was even happier. Unexpectedly, the Consort, who looked so delicate, gave birth to the first one and then the second one came.
The Empress Dowager took care of both the older and younger children, putting the Emperor and the Emperor at ease.
If possible, having another child would be fine; she can still manage it.
Unexpectedly, the Empress once again lived up to expectations and became pregnant again.
"Empress, I... really..." The emperor was so excited that he was incoherent, and his eyes were sore: "Empress, you have worked hard."
"Your Majesty has worked so hard..." Night after night of toil deserves a reward.
Nine months later, Chu Yue gave birth to another prince. The emperor actually wanted a princess, but the empress had gone through a difficult childbirth, and he couldn't hurt her feelings.
The Empress Dowager looked at the youngest one, then at the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, and thought, "Not bad, not bad, it's worth the effort."
……
"Your Majesty, how about having another one? I think I can still manage..." Chu Yue nestled in the emperor's arms.
The emperor's throat tightened: "Empress, I think my son has done enough. You don't need to suffer any more."
"No, I want to have another one." Chu Yue turned over and sat on the emperor's waist: "You are not allowed to refuse."
"Empress... if you have another child..." The Emperor pinched Chu Yue's waist, "I... may I make a request?"
"Say it, I grant your permission."
"I want a princess."
Chu Yue: "..."
"The Empress?"
"Well..." Chu Yue pondered with some difficulty, "It's not impossible."
Having obtained the answer he wanted, the emperor immediately seized control and began to have daughters.
In order to have a princess, the emperor doted on the empress, and fortunately the empress was fertile and became pregnant again.
From the moment the Empress became pregnant, the Emperor had the imperial physicians examine her pulse to determine whether it was a boy or a girl, but the physicians had no definite answer and could not tell no matter how they examined her.
The emperor felt he was supporting a bunch of useless people, and the imperial physicians were unreliable. All he could do was pray to heaven that he would have a daughter.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and Chu Yue gave birth to another prince, which darkened the emperor's face.
"Your Majesty...aren't you happy?" Chu Yue asked weakly, her face pale.
"No, no, I'm happy. Your Majesty, don't overthink it, just take good care of yourself."
Chu Yue then felt relieved and went to sleep.
The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor with some difficulty: "My son, I'm afraid I can't handle this anymore..."
"Mother..."
"You've done well for the Empress, and your mother is happy too. The Empress went through a lot during childbirth, so it's good to have more princes. There will be princesses in the future."
"Yes, Mother..."
"Alright, send the younger one back to me. Don't worry about him."
The Empress Dowager was overjoyed. Who said they couldn't manage them? What were all those palace servants for?
A few more are fine.
Fortunately, Chu Yue eventually gave birth to a little princess. The emperor was overjoyed and held her every day, refusing to let go. Even the empress dowager couldn't take her to raise.
With four princes and one princess, the emperor was a true winner in life.
