Voted "Royal Most Likely to Deliver Your Marketplace Baby" five times running by the Daily Post

I wasn't particularly interested in the 'Chu's third prince' storyline, but how much did I love that Eight and Qing Chuan tried to bust him for fraud but ended up having to deliver his wife's baby in an emergency? LOLOLOLOL. I think this may be one of my favorite sequences in JPLH so far

Love Eight and his morals!! Even from when they 1st meet he saves her from the water!

True - and he had no idea who she was.

I also found the conclusion of that whole storyline oddly fitting and sort of proof they are best off in the modern world - all that work and they are giddy as little kids and then it turns out the family, including the newborn they delivered, all kill themselves. That's a really really nasty society. I loved the conversation afterwards though, where he is trying to comfort her (because he's upset too, but he's a lot more used to this world than she is) by telling her she prevented civil war where a lot more people would have died and she says she can't think of that, all she can think of is the woman and her baby, and why do things like that have to happen. And he tells her it's because this world is full of suffering and all you can do is do your best and have someone to hold your hand and help you. And that she held him and helped him and he will hold hers and help her whenever she needs it and that his hand will always be there and it will be up to her to take it or not.

GUH I LOVE THEM.
