103. Hongfu
The runaway carriage was controlled by the Lu Fang who appeared in time, and seeing the peaceful Le'er, Yanling wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but Chu Xue's stomach, which was about to give birth, suddenly attacked.
Seeing the frowning master and shouting in pain, Yan Ling was so anxious that her face was pale, and she hurriedly said to Lu Fang: "Lord Lu, hurry up, quickly arrange someone to send Niangniang back, Niangniang is like this, I'm afraid I'm going to give birth." β
Yanling is Chu Xue's closest person, seeing Chu Xue like this at this time, in fact, he cares about it, and some of them are out of position, but fortunately, Lu Fang, the imperial guard, is calm and sober enough, although he doesn't know much about women giving birth, but he also quickly ordered someone to prepare the car, and someone immediately went to the hospital to inform Cheng Zisong, and the handling was quite orderly.
Seeing him like this, Yanling, who was annoyed and regretful, thanked him gratefully, and then followed the carriage that came to accompany Chu Xue back to Yufu Palace.
When the imperial doctor and Wen Po arrived, Chu Xue's amniotic water broke.
Fortunately, everyone had been prepared, and at this moment they were immediately busy in an orderly manner, Cheng Zisong hurriedly took the pulse for her, and after confirming that it was normal, she retreated outside the dormitory, and commanded the stable woman through the door, and several stable women were also experienced old grandmothers, and several people acted separately, and their hands and feet were also very sharp.
Usually it will be easier to give birth again than to give birth at the beginning, but this time it is twins, and Chu Xue, who has already given birth once, is still worried.
The labor pain was like a wave hitting again and again, which made her a little overwhelmed, and she gradually groaned from the light hissing at the beginning. Moaned.
A stable woman hurriedly comforted her, "Don't panic, Niangniang, you have already given birth to a princess, this time it will definitely be easier, now adjust your breathing first, and then work hard when the time comes......"
Wen Po was talking here, but she heard a deep male voice outside, and asked anxiously, "How is Xue'er now?" Isn't there a few days until the end of the month, why are you going to give birth now? β
It turned out to be Song Chen, he got the letter, put down the matter at hand, and hurried over from the Qinzheng Palace.
I heard Cheng Zisong hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen has just diagnosed Niangniang, Niangniang is now normal, as for the sudden labor, I heard that Fang was frightened in the Imperial Garden...... However, Niangniang is a twin, and the general delivery will be earlier than the single child, these are also common phenomena, please take care of the dragon body, don't be too anxious. β
The rest of the imperial doctors waiting on the side also bowed their heads in agreement.
Hearing these words, Song Chen finally comforted a little, and instructed a palace maid who was going in and out of the hot water: "Go and tell SΓΉ Xue'er that I am here to accompany her, and ask her not to be afraid." β
"Yes." The little palace maid hurriedly came in to pass the word.
In fact, there was no need to pass the word at all, Song Chen's voice had already fallen into Chu Xue's ears. She wanted to persuade him not to wait for a long time like last time, but after thinking about it, she gave birth to twins this time, although the imperial doctor and Wen Po comforted her, but she also knew that this was not absolutely safe. A woman giving birth to a child is a ghost door to go through it, and now she still has to give birth to two, she has not heard of the case of a woman who gave birth to twins had a difficult birth, and finally led to a corpse and three lives......
In any case, with Song Chen by her side, she can always feel at ease, and besides, with him, if there is any accident, people can ask for advice.
The little palace maid brought the words, she couldn't help but nod her head, and ordered: "Go and tell the emperor, the palace will work hard to keep herself and the child safe, but if there is any case, please ask the emperor to protect the child first." β
She already owes her child a life, and if she has the opportunity, of course she will choose the child to be safe.
These words were like last words, and the little palace maid trembled and went to deliver the words again, which really provoked Long Yan to be angry, and Song Chen said angrily: "What do you mean to keep the child first, I want their mother and son to be safe!" If there is any mistake today, I will want the entire Yufu Palace and Tai Hospital to pay for their lives! β
The king's sharp voice came into the inner hall, and the stable women only felt that their legs were weak, and they were immediately more diligent, but Chu Xue's face was cold and sweaty, but there was a slight smile, and then another wave of strong labor pain hit, she didn't care about saying anything, gritted her teeth and worked hard according to the command of the stable women.
I don't know how long it took, the pain didn't give her any respite, she didn't know how many times she tried her best, just when she felt that her breath was about to dry up, she finally felt her lower body slip, and the first baby who showed her head was carefully dragged out by the stable women.
In the loud cry, I only heard Wen Po say: "Niangniang, one has already come out, and if you work harder, the other will show up immediately." β
Her heart fell halfway, and she wanted to hurry up and take advantage of the pain to make persistent efforts, but this one had exhausted her body just now, and she couldn't exert her strength.
Ruyue had already prepared, and hurriedly handed over the thick brown molasses, she couldn't help but raise her head in pain and swallowed it, and after relieving it for a while, she worked hard again with the coming pain.
Maybe it was the bowl of brown molasses that worked, she held her breath and tried hard a few times, and finally heard the happy voices of the stable women: "Niangniang, it's already outcropped, if you work harder, it will be fine immediately!" β
The roots of her teeth were about to be crushed, her instinctive closed eyes seemed to be red, and on the verge of suffocation, she finally felt the pleasure, her lower body slid and her abdomen was empty, and there was a loud cry, and she finally gave birth to another child.
She listened to the loud cries of the two children, and finally smiled, and then she no longer had the strength to pay attention to other things, closed her eyes, and fell asleep tiredly.
Song Chen had been waiting anxiously outside, and Xue'er's cry of pain caught his ears, which made his heart cut like a knife.
Although he said that, why didn't he understand the danger of twins in his heart? One of his princess aunts once died because of the dystocia of twins, and died on the delivery bed, although the father at that time was angry and beheaded several imperial doctors on duty, but people could not be resurrected after death, which was not exchanged for many innocent lives.
Although he was pleasantly surprised when he heard that Xue'er was pregnant with twins, at this time, he really hoped that his woman was pregnant with a single child, and no matter what, it would be safe.
At that time, he said to Concubine Li that no one could touch Xue'er, which was not his angry words, but his heartfelt words.
If it was just a favorite concubine, he would not risk war to kill Princess Jinli for her, and he would not risk being criticized by the world to take the right to give birth to his wife, after all, the founding hero Pei Guogong is still alive. If Chu Xue was just a favorite concubine, he would probably be like his father, just give her a reward and a position, comfort her without pain, and then continue to let her suffer from the grievances of suffering.
But she is not, she is the most important woman in her life.
No one knew, not even Xue'er herself, that when she was assassinated on the way back to Beijing in the past, she threw herself on him to block the knife for him, and he was shocked. He was a man, and he thought he was capable enough to protect his woman, but he never thought that there would be a day when a woman who relied on him would pounce on him at a moment when anyone would instinctively dodge, and use her weak body to block the bloodthirsty weapon.
At that time, she was just a teenage girl, and she had only been by her side for a year, and at that critical juncture, she used her life to protect herself. This is a feeling he has never experienced, is this it, is it the so-called love?
Because she loves him, she can give her life?
As the saying goes, husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes, but she is just a concubine, a concubine who is often wronged by his wife, and he would choose like that, let him be hard-hearted, he has already been shaken, not to mention that at that time, he was already so addicted.
It was around that time that she was irreplaceable.
And now, seeing that she died and lived again in order to give birth to children, he was even more guilty in his heart. So what to protect the child first, if it really comes to that point, the first thing he wants to protect is her!
Fortunately, after two hours of anxious survival, he heard the good news, and a little palace maid hurriedly came out to report the good news, saying that Xue'er gave birth to a son and a daughter for him, and the mother and son were safe.
Boulders fall to the ground.
Great joy ensued.
A son and a daughter? Cher added a pair of children to him.
God-given dragon and phoenix, what an auspicious time!
The little palace maid's words landed, and the imperial doctors and eunuchs waiting outside the store immediately knelt down to congratulate him, and he laughed for a long time before signaling everyone to calm down, and let Liangxi reward all the people who served in Yufu Palace. Of course, the emphasis was on the imperial doctors and the stable women who delivered the baby.
~~
When Chu Xue woke up, there was silence in the hall, and the birds in the courtyard could be faintly heard.
Recalling the scene before closing her eyes yesterday, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she could wake up safely at this time, and the subtle voice attracted Yan Ling, who had been waiting for her outside, Yan Ling picked up the curtain, and when she saw that she opened her eyes, she smiled and asked softly: "The master finally woke up?" β
She also smiled slightly and asked, "What about the children?" β
yes, she has three children now, and she should have said that.
Yan Ling motioned for someone to bring her hot soup, and replied while raising the pillow for her: "Don't worry, master, the little prince and the little princess are fine, they have already drunk two meals of milk since they were born yesterday, and they slept well. β
Yan Ling's words came into her ears, which made her slightly stunned, the little prince and the little princess?
So, she gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus?
Seeing that she was stunned, Yanling also reacted, and hurriedly explained to her with a smile: "The master is really good at giving birth, and he added a pair of princes and princesses to the emperor at once, the emperor was happy yesterday, and the slaves and maids received a big reward." β
After being sure, she also laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, it's good to be safe." β
Although she did think so in her heart, she understood that finally having a prince would make the road easier in the future.
Yan Ling's expression was stunned, and she knelt down in front of her, and said, "Yesterday, the slave and maid did not take good care of the master, which frightened you and the princess, please give the master a sin." β
"Get up, I don't blame you for this, there is nothing to do in this palace now, and when I wait a while, I will send someone to investigate." She smiled.
When it comes to this, she didn't suspect it yesterday, but she has been thinking about childbirth, and she didn't think much about it, but now she has the kung fu to study it carefully, and she asks in the palace, all the familiar old people are waiting, why is the good carriage suddenly frightened?
I don't think things will be so coincidental.
Yan Ling nodded yes, and it happened that the hot soup was delivered, she ate a few bites, and asked, "What about the emperor?" β
"The emperor was afraid of disturbing you last night, so he went back to the Qinzheng Palace to rest, and before leaving, he said that he would come to see you in the morning today......"
Before Yan Ling finished speaking, the man in the words had already arrived outside the hall, with the sound of communication, the door of the hall was pushed open, and then the familiar footsteps sounded, Yan Ling quickly knelt on the ground to pick up the car, she also looked over, and saw Song Chen with a smile.
"Awake?" He asked gently.
She nodded and looked at him with a smile, "The emperor came so early, did he have breakfast?" β
"Used it before."
He took the bowl, fed her with his own hands very naturally, and instructed the palace people: "Go and see if the little prince and the little princess are awake, if they do, bring them over and let Xue'er see them." β
He knew that she was worried about the child, and she had slept since she was born yesterday, although he and the Queen Mother had embraced, but she, who was a mother, had never seen her.
He was so careful and considerate that she suddenly felt warm, and said softly: "Concubine, thank you emperor." β
"I should thank you!" He also said softly: "Thank you for adding two children to me, a son and a daughter, or Xue'er will give birth." β
She smiled sweetly.
After a while, the nurses walked in with their babies in their arms.
The newly-born babies all look similar, although they are different from men and women, but it is not good to open their clothes every time to see, and the nurses use different swaddling clothes to wrap the two children in order to distinguish them.
The one who handed it over first was his son, who was in good spirits right now, his black eyes were round, looking at her intently, Chu Xue's heart softened, and he hurriedly lowered his head and kissed the little guy's forehead, Song Chen said: "This child looks like you, look at these big eyes, they are exactly the same as yours." β
She smiled, and went to look at her other infant daughter, only to see the pink little man pouting her pearl-like mouth, and her eyes slowly opened to look at her. This one looked like a well-behaved person, and she sighed: "I hope this child can be well-behaved and have the appearance of a girl, otherwise the concubine will really have a headache to death." β
Song Chen glanced at his obedient little daughter, and also agreed softly: "Well, yes, it looks a little better, I hope the spleen is like you." β
She also lowered her head and kissed the soft little man, and didn't say anything more.
In fact, the temperament is most like himself, and he was originally Le'er, but that self is long gone.
Now she just hopes that her fun can continue to be happy.
I think that if life can go on willfully, it is also a kind of happiness.
