On the birthing bed, Qian Yixiu suddenly opened her eyes wide, pushed hard, let out a loud cry, followed by the wailing of a newborn.
"It's born, it's born, it's a boy," the midwife shouted excitedly.
It was the Shen Hour of the fourth day of the tenth month, and the Lianxiang Courtyard was crowded with people. There were female relatives of the Liang family, the Qian family, Lady Fu from the Pan family, and The Qian Clan from the Wan family.
Aside from Liang Jinzhao, who was standing outside the window wiping tears, there were also several men, including Old Duke Liang, Prince Consort Pan, Qian Sangui, Qian Manjiang, Zhu Sujin, Little Monk, and Liang Jinchen. There was also a eunuch present, sent by the Grand Empress Dowager from Cining Palace.
Normally, other men from the groom's family should not wait outside during childbirth, but today was special. Not only had the men from the families related by marriage come, but even the Crown Prince was present.
