On the eighteenth of April.
In the Forbidden City, Noble Consort Yu of Yanxi Palace went into labor.
The expected due date was supposed to be in May, and now it had come a fortnight early, yet it could not be considered too premature.
Within Yanxi Palace, the lights remained bright throughout the night, and by the time it neared midday the next day, Consort Yu finally gave birth to Emperor Kangxi's Twentieth Prince.
At once, the entire Yanxi Palace was filled with immense joy.
His Majesty the Emperor had stated clearly beforehand, should Consort Yu give birth to a prince, she would be promoted to Noble Consort.
And now, hadn't she just done so?
Lady, you truly are a blessed person.
A few days later, on the twenty-second of April, Emperor Kangxi learned of the news that Consort Yu had given birth to a prince.
He immediately laughed heartily and decreed, "Consort Yu is promoted to Noble Consort Yu, and the Twentieth Prince is named Prince."
