Chapter 49: The Little Prince
My heart trembled, but a few nurses and midwives had seen the storm after all. The pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info still methodically instructed the palace people to boil water and prepare tools. Begonia Magnolia also ordered people to go to the palaces to report the news, and the eldest princess served the Empress Dowager in Changle Palace for more than 20 days in January, and she saved herself from going outside the palace. That is, His Majesty has been in the Xuanmur Hall since he entered February, and he only needs Yang to pass it on.
After the wooden pen Bauhinia and the two midwives helped Gillian to lie down in the delivery room, the stinging pain just now had disappeared, and it became a sour and numb pain that could be tolerated from time to time. After the oldest nurse surnamed Bai checked Gillian's pulse, he asked Gillian how she felt, and turned his head and instructed the wooden pen: "I also bother to ask the girl to ask the kitchen to make some anti-hunger for the mother, the cakes and chicken soup are all good, take advantage of the time you can eat them now, and replenish your physical strength." ”
The chicken soup and cakes were delivered quickly, and it hadn't been long after lunch, and Gillian was not hungry. But thinking that this would not be able to give birth in a while, she gritted her teeth and drank a large bowl full of chicken soup and ate three more cakes. When I lay down again, I felt that the food was in my throat, and the delivery room was burning warm every day and night, and Gillian who had changed her clothes felt very comfortable lying on the dry quilt.
The white milk doctor took the cork and told Gillian to hold it, saying that he was afraid that it would hurt too much for a while, and he bit his tongue when he shouted. also asked Bauhinia to serve Gillian to take off her skirt and put a thin quilt on her legs. The begonia who had ordered the people also came in, held Gillian's hand and said: "Niangniang, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and the eldest princess have all arrived outside the palace. ”
Everything was ready, but Gillian didn't hurt anymore, and she fell asleep later. But I didn't sleep for long, and I was woken up by pain. The pain was covered in sweat, as if someone was pulling her stomach down, it was an indescribable pain.
She wanted to scream, but she had to save her strength for the back. But it hurt more and more, so much so that she secretly practiced for more than a month, and the deep breathing she learned from watching TV before didn't work at all.
My mind is completely blank, and I don't even know if I have a name. After the pain in her heart passed, she could rest for a few minutes.
Gillian has been in pain for more than two hours, and the labor pains began to become more and more frequent, and then they were no longer called labor pains. It hurts almost all the time, and if she is told that she can have a caesarean section at this time, she probably nods and agrees to be this guinea pig regardless of whether the Han Dynasty can be implemented smoothly.
When the lights were first on, the nurse doctor and the midwife finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the mother's birth canal was finally opened. At this time, Gillian's hair had been soaked with sweat several times, and the whole body was sweating profusely, as if she had just taken a bath.
The white milk doctor leaned into Gillian's ear and encouraged her: "Come on, Niangniang, it's faster to work harder." ”
Hard, she wanted to push hard, too. She lay on the bed in prostration, her vision was blurred, and all she saw were ghosts.
She suddenly wanted to cry, thinking about her mother in her previous life, and thinking about her current pavilion. She muttered, "Mother, mother." "She hadn't cried in a long time, but now she felt so vulnerable.
Haitang leaned in and listened carefully, wiped a handful of sweat that didn't know whether it was hot or urgent, and went out to call the eldest princess.
The Empress Dowager leaned over her crutches and leaned towards the delivery room to listen, looking calmer than Liu Che, who was spinning in the room like a spinning top, and the Empress Dowager, the eldest princess, who looked around from time to time. But in fact, her thin hand made Guantao feel painful, and as soon as Haitang came out, she asked with a trill: "How is Gillian?" ”
Haitang peeked at the pavilion Tao: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, the mother is fine, but she is a little weak, and she is calling the eldest princess inside." ”
"I'll go in." Guan Tao got up and took off his clothes, and was about to go in with Haitang, and then turned around to comfort the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, you better go back and rest first." You don't have dinner until you stay up here, and I'll let you know when Jiaojiao is born. ”
It's another night like this, and people can't do anything but be anxious. Qi'er's first son, Rong'er, was born at night, and she waited until the third watch before anyone came to report the good news. The grandchildren in the back also hurt the same, but in the end it was not as worried as the first one.
But Gillian gave birth to a child, she was flustered, this is Qi'er's first grandson, and it is also Guantao's first grandson, and her first great-grandson. The meaning was too great, she couldn't go back and wait, she didn't answer Guan Tao, just said: "Go, Gillian thinks about her mother at this juncture, you can go in quickly." ”
More than an hour passed after Guantao entered, except for the painful cries that came from time to time. Still no one came out to report the good news, and the Empress Dowager clenched her crutches and remained motionless like a statue. Suddenly, a warm pair of hands covered her cold hands.
It was Liu Che, he sat down against his grandmother, and said in a deep voice: "Grandmother, the emperor's grandfather and father are all taking care of Jiaojiao in the sky." ”
The old man's head sighed and did not speak.
After another half hour, the cries inside became quieter and quieter. Pavilion Tao Haihuan walked out with messy red eyes, and fell on the Queen Mother's lap without taking a few steps: "Mother, Gillian has a difficult birth, but she can't give birth." ”
Liu Che jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on, and was about to enter the delivery room. The person at the door stopped him and kept saying, "Your Majesty, you can't enter the delivery room." Liu Che was angry and anxious, the green tendons on his forehead jumped and jumped, and he shouted angrily: "Get out of the way!" ”
The Queen Mother had been reading the bracelet of Buddhist beads made of jade, and when she heard that Gillian had a difficult birth, she stood up in a panic and the bracelet fell to the ground. It crackled and shattered all over the ground.
Crying, crying, making trouble. Seeing that it was about to become a mess, the Empress Dowager Tie Qing lowered her crutches with a heavy face, and her voice was Qingyue who had never been before: "What are you panicking, what are you panicking about." When things come, think about dealing with them, what's the use of panicking. She said softly to Guantao: "Don't be afraid, my mother is here." He also said to Liu Che: "Emperor, what can you do when you go in?" Sit down! ”
"What about the Milk Doctor? The mourning family came to ask. The Empress Dowager lowered her face, her momentum calm. Probably because of her composure, the room fell silent.
The nurse came out behind Guan Tao, but she didn't have the right to speak just now, and when she heard her asked, she knelt down in front of the Queen Mother and replied. "Back to the Empress Dowager, Niangniang, her fetal position is not correct, and her feet are down." The nurse doctor scratched his heart with a hundred paws, and said like a mournful woman. She knew in her heart that the mother was fine, they were the heroes. If there is a little problem, they are not enough for the whole family to accompany the queen mother.
Liu Che didn't understand, but the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and the Pavilion Tao were all people who had produced. Knowing that the fetal position is not correct, there is no so-called problem of protecting the big and the small at all, but one corpse and two lives!
At this time, the Empress Dowager also stood up suddenly, her body was cold, and the nurse doctor knelt on the ground and trembled, for fear that the Empress Dowager would say something and pull it down.
The Empress Dowager shook her head with a wry smile, and called Liu Che to hold his hand: "Yu'er, think about it, you are the one who has the most power to make decisions, you think about it carefully, if you can only keep one, whether to keep it big or small." ”
"Bao Da, Bao Gillian!" Almost without thinking, he screamed as soon as the Empress Dowager's words fell. Guantao cried even more, even the Queen Mother was full of misery, and she could barely stand on her feet.
"Okay, whatever Your Majesty says." The Empress Dowager nodded, and said angrily in the direction of the nursing doctor: "Didn't you hear the words of Your Majesty and the mourning family? Still not in yet? If you can only keep one, protect the queen! ”
The nursing doctor crawled in and ran into the delivery room, and with the words of the Queen Mother and His Majesty, the people in the delivery room could be regarded as having found the backbone. Gillian sweated one body after another, and her whole body felt floating, she desperately wanted to stay awake and use her strength. She knew that this time had reached a critical moment, but the whole person seemed to be soaked in water, and her bones were soft.
In a daze, she felt that someone was feeding her a decoction. It's ginseng soup, which is used to hang people's lives. It seems that it's the last moment, Gillian, you're doing a good job, keep up the good work. She encouraged herself in her heart and gave herself confidence.
Gillian took a few deep breaths and burst out with the last of her strength. She was tired, she was tired. Her hair was wet and sticking to her forehead, but she didn't bother with it. Finally, she felt something go out at once. She heard the cheers of the people around her in a trance, as if Begonia was happy to say in her ear that she was born and was a prince.
She was relieved and fell asleep in one fell asleep. I didn't even want to see the spirit of the child, and I only thought that I was still the prince before I fell unconscious. Still, it's okay anyway.
The cheers in the delivery room did not last long, and the midwife washed the child with hot water. Everyone found out that something was wrong, and normal newborn babies would be bruised. But there was almost no place in the little prince's body that was not bruised, and when he came out, he only barked weakly like a kitten.
Now there is almost no movement, and when I usually meet a child who does not cry, where is the midwife, the child will cry when she pats the child on the back. But now the little prince's midwife patted and patted, and there was no movement, and the child clenched his hands and there was no movement.
Begonia leaned over and sniffed. Tears poured out of my eyes, and I couldn't stop it. She thought of the sleeping mother, and could only cry silently.
The people who were waiting had not heard the movement of the delivery room for a while, but they had not heard the cry of the child. Finally, Begonia came out with her head down and holding her swaddling clothes. She came out and knelt down and lifted the child, and with tears in her eyes, she had already said that she was not right: "Mother...... Quiet...... Okay, it's ...... Fell asleep. Be...... The little prince ...... "The latter words, her mouth trembled for a while, and she couldn't say it."
When Liu Che came out with the child in his arms and heard that Gillian was fine, he was still ecstatic in his heart. I couldn't help but thank the ancestors for their blessings in my heart, but the more I listened, the more wrong it became, and he stepped forward to hug the child in a few steps.
"Your Majesty's condolences, the little prince has gone!" Begonia slowed down for a moment, and finally finished tremblingly. As soon as the words fell, the Queen Mother stumbled and almost fainted. The Empress Dowager's two lines of tears finally fell, and Guan Tao was already crying so much that she couldn't help herself.
Liu Che couldn't believe that he trembled and reached out to touch the child, the child had not been breathing for a long time, but probably because it had not been born for a long time, and it was still a little warm. His mind was dazed for a while, and he was furious: "What about the milk doctor? The child is alive! ”
