In winter, the eyebrows begin to hibernate like some seasonal animals.

When Yuan Ziqing got up to leave in the morning, she could only give a vague instruction, and then fell asleep again, and when she woke up, it was probably already lunch. After eating, he walked around the yard a few times with the help of someone, and then came back to sit in the smoked cage.

I don't dare to use ice for her in the summer, but I might as well use charcoal in the winter.

Afraid of choking on the smell, I deliberately left the place where the fire and gas were added to the house, and there was no other problem in the house except for being drier. Every day, Xingyun will fetch a basin of water and put it in the house to add some moisture. He sat next to the smoker with the quilt on his eyebrows, and the whole person was smoked warm, and he was even more sleepy. Often just squinting like this for a while, Yuan Ziqing should come back.

After dinner, Yuan Ziqing would accompany her to talk, tell her about the things outside, and guide her for an hour or two before going to bed.

But this leisurely pace was soon shattered. Because of the eyebrows, I found that my body began to swell and feel uncomfortable.

In fact, the edema has been there for a long time, but it was not obvious in the past, and it didn't affect anything, and Yuan Ziqing, who was mellow and mellow, always liked to pinch it, but found it interesting.

But now it is getting stricter and stricter, especially on the calves, completely stretching out the outermost layer of skin, and it is round like a transparent radish or lotus root. When you press it with your fingers, it is a deep pit, and it will take a long time to recover as before.

The first bad thing is that I can't wear my old shoes. She gained weight quickly after pregnancy, and her shoes had to be changed almost every month, even so, after the puffiness, the already big shoes still couldn't be worn, so she had to make new ones. But even with her shoes on, she couldn't walk two steps, and then she felt pain in her feet, legs, and all over her body.

It is really difficult to insist on walking for half an hour every day. In the end, Princess Fu came up with a way to let the two powerful grandmothers support her at both ends, almost "dragging" people, and after walking for half an hour, it can be regarded as a handover.

This is the hardest time of the day on the side of the eyebrows.

In addition to this, the quality of her sleep has also decreased significantly. Originally, I could sleep for six hours a day, and I still made up for sleep from time to time during the day. Now it has been sharply reduced to four hours, not to mention, and I still wake up from time to time in shock or pain, tossing and turning, and I can't sleep peacefully.

She couldn't sleep, and Yuan Ziqing would naturally be awakened by her movements. After a few days like this, her complexion was not good, and Yuan Ziqing's face became worse and worse. Although Meibian was reluctant, he also knew that he couldn't go on like this, so he offered to let Yuan Ziqing move to the study for a while, so as not to be tossed by himself.

However, Yuan Ziqing had the meaning of "sharing difficulties" and was unwilling to agree.

Seeing that the white and chubby eyebrows raised during pregnancy seemed to have lost weight in a few days, and the whole person was out of energy, he was already very distressed, and even secretly had the idea of not having other children after giving birth to this child. How can you be willing to move out at this time?

"When you can't sleep at night, I can still say a few words to you. If you move away, won't it be even more uncomfortable for you to be alone? "Yuanzi Qingdao.

Didn't bite the tips of your fingers and hesitate. She wasn't very firm in the first place, but she just felt sorry for Yuan Ziqing who was staying up with her in vain. But now that I have listened to his words, I feel that it makes a lot of sense.

Seeing this, Yuan Ziqing made persistent efforts, "Besides, the weather is cold now, you are not in good health, and you are already afraid of the cold." Sleeping alone, only colder. And since Yuan Ziqing recovered from his illness, he has become a big stove, and he can sleep comfortably in winter.

On the side of his eyebrows, he completely shook his determination, and said to Ai Ai, "But you can't sleep well, you still have to repair books during the day, where is the spirit?" ”

"It's just a matter of getting through the last few months." Yuan Ziqing said, "The child is two people, it makes no sense to make you feel uncomfortable alone, right?" ”

Meibian felt that he was getting better and better at talking, and this kind of statement made her unable to refuse at all.

It's as if every word comes from my heart. She looked at Yuan Ziqing with wide eyes, "Did you eavesdrop on my thoughts?" After she became pregnant, her mind seemed to turn a little slowly, and she couldn't help but have some silly thoughts.

Yuan Ziqing couldn't help but "flutter" for a while, "You think too much, there is no such thing again." ”

So the topic got farther and farther away, and the matter of letting Yuan Ziqing move out was confused. By the time he lay in Yuan Ziqing's arms at night and fell asleep hotly, he had completely forgotten his previous righteousness.

But it's always so swollen, after all, it's uncomfortable, so Yuan Ziqing began to look through medical books again to find a way. The doctors couldn't give them any good prescriptions, so he simply didn't work them. As a result, I suddenly received a letter that day, and I couldn't tell where it came from, and if it wasn't for the porter's responsibility, maybe it would have been rejected.

Yuan Ziqing opened it and took a look, and found that what was written in it were all home remedies to eliminate puffiness, plus a recipe: crucian carp stewed red beans.

He was stunned for a moment, knowing who had sent the letter.

I thought that after Qu Kuan went out to travel, I was afraid that it would be difficult to contact him again, but he didn't expect that he was still thinking about his eyebrows. Xu knew the news that she was pregnant, so he specially sent this recipe.

But that doesn't make sense. After all, if you just know that you are pregnant, you should always send some prescriptions for the fetus or something. This eliminates puffiness, which is a bit too targeted.

A thought flashed through Yuan Ziqing's mind. But he quickly shook his head again and expelled him.

Qu Kuan hated the capital so much, he refused to come with them at the beginning, and he must definitely not want to come now. Besides, if you go to the capital, you can visit directly, so why hide?

He carefully put away the letter, and went to the kitchen to have the crucian carp stewed according to the home remedies—speaking of which, at this time, the river was frozen, and it was also thanks to the Fu Wangfu, and there was a way to send someone to catch crucian carp, and there would be no shortage of materials.

The soup was ready, and Yuan Ziqing personally served it to Meibian to drink, and ate some fish. I can't see if the swelling can be reduced for the time being, but after drinking it, the whole person is warm from the inside out, and the complexion looks much better.

After drinking like this for a few days, although the legs still looked like that, and there was no difference, there was no difference, but the eyebrows were less awake at night.

Since the soup is useful, it is natural to always have it. At first, he was greedy for that sip of freshness, and he was very happy to drink. However, she had enough things to replenish her body, and every day it was soup and water, and it always tasted so much, and after a long time, she was impatient to drink it.

Every day, in order to persuade her to drink the soup, the people around her and Yuan Ziqing are like fighting, and it is only through several strategic combinations that it is possible for her to nod and drink the soup, which is more tiring than her soup drinker.

However, the good times did not last long, and soon Meibian woke up again in the night. This time because of leg pain, but because of cramps.

She didn't call anyone when she had cramps, and she cried quietly in pain wrapped in the quilt. Yuan Ziqing was awakened by this cry, asked what was going on, and hurriedly lit the lamp and rubbed her calves and stomach.

After rubbing it for a while, I probably felt better, my eyebrows sobbed, and I fell asleep again.

Yuan Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at her carefully in the dim light, feeling soft and funny for a while. I also said before that I would let myself go to live in the study, if she really went, she was alone at this time, afraid not to cry all night?

When I think about it, it really hurts.

Waiting for the next day, Yuan Ziqing talked about it, and refused to admit it again. "You must have heard it wrong." Biting his lip, he said.

Yuan Ziqing had no choice but not to worry about her. Now that it's winter, although there is also a charcoal fire in the courtyard next door to repair books, it is impossible to supply it like Fuwangfu's mansion after all, and those old ministers can't stand it, so Yuan Ziqing simply changed the time to half a day. In this way, he also has more time to spend with Meibian.

After all, these are the last few months. It is uncomfortable to carry a child on his side, and he, the husband and future father, of course, cannot stay out of the matter.

He was really happy to have time to spare. Even stopped sleeping as usual in the afternoon, and waited for Yuan Ziqing to come back for dinner every day, and then pulled him to play together.

Lately she's been making children's clothes.

In fact, these things will be done by someone below, and she doesn't need to worry about it at all. And Princess Fu repeatedly ordered her not to use needlework. But Meibian always wanted to let the child wear clothes made by himself, so with the connivance of Yuan Ziqing, he secretly did it himself. No

She was not in good spirits and her progress was slow. I feel dazzled when I do it for a while every day, and then I throw it away. In this way, when the child comes out, it will be nice to be able to make a dress.

However, Huang'er's needlework is good, and she has made several pieces by herself with the fabric by her eyebrows. There will be no shortage of clothes at that time.

The days of leisure always pass in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, it is the New Year.

According to the rules, the family of Fuwangfu is going to the palace to reunite. But considering that she has a big belly on her eyebrows, and who knows whether the people in the palace are kind or malicious, in the end Yuan Ziqing had to let her pretend to be sick, and the concubine went to the palace, and the queen mother came to the will: the child is important, so she will be exempted from entering the palace during the New Year, and it will not be too late to wait for the child to be born.

The emperor seems to have acquiesced in this.

So on Chinese New Year's Eve, the family entered the palace, and they left their eyebrows alone in the mansion. She simply gathered all the people in the courtyard together and opened a banquet for everyone, and there was always a lively New Year's Day.

But I'm very careful with my eyebrows, and I don't touch anything that passes through the hands of others. King Fu's mansion should be safe, but it is impossible to say that the palace cannot interfere at all.

Fortunately, this year has finally passed smoothly. This is the most likely time to be manipulated, after all, the Chinese New Year is too busy, busy and chaotic, some negligence, and it is possible to go wrong. So the whole family is on guard at this time. Fortunately, nothing went wrong.

After the New Year, the belly next to the eyebrows is very big and it is very inconvenient to move. Most of the time is bed rest, and you must also lie on your side.

She didn't like it herself, and after lying down for a long time, she felt uncomfortable. But for the sake of the child, I had to grit my teeth and endure. However, Meibian is very worried, like this, when Zhou Yingyue gets married, can he really hold on?

But no matter how worried she was, the day was always coming, and she really didn't start it. Although the child moves more violently after nine months, and it hurts from time to time, it has no intention of starting for a long time. Yuan Ziqing always said that his advice had an effect, so the child was so quiet.

Eyebrows are like this now, even if it's a wedding, she can't actually help much. can only talk to her in the cave room after Zhou Yingyue is picked up, so that she will not have anyone to talk to when she first arrives in a strange place.

But I don't know if there are too many people in the marriage room, all kinds of smells are mixed together, and the sense of smell on the side of the eyebrows is now very sensitive, but after sitting for an hour, I always feel uncomfortable. Zhou Yingyue saw that she was uncomfortable, and hurriedly asked someone to help her go back.

However, as soon as I got out of the new house, I felt a pain in my stomach around my eyebrows.

She had a hunch that this time it was not a simple fetal movement, but an attack!

"Xingyun." She was sweating on her forehead in pain, and grabbed Xingyun's hand hard, "I'm afraid I'm going to give birth." You quietly go to Shizi, don't alarm the guests, let people go over and prepare. ”

Xingyun was startled and hurriedly agreed. The eyebrows let Huang'er help himself to sit next to him and wait, the pain in the lower abdomen became more and more intense, and the eyebrows held the stomach, and kept repeating in a low voice, "Don't worry, don't worry...... Wait for your mother to be ready...... Good boy, don't worry......"

Huang'er was so anxious on the side, and he didn't dare to disturb his eyebrows, so he had to be in a hurry.

Fortunately, Yuan Ziqing has been paying attention to the side of his eyebrows, and immediately rushed over after receiving the news. The stable woman and the delivery room are also complete, and she picked up her eyebrows at the moment and rushed back to the Hidden Bamboo Garden.

On the road, he noticed that something was flowing out from under his body, and he suspected that the amniotic water that Wen Po had said before had broken, and he couldn't help but be more anxious.

"Don't be afraid, it's coming soon." Yuan Ziqing comforted him while running. At this moment, he was extremely glad that his body had healed, he could hold her, and he could run such a long way, otherwise when something happened, he could only be anxious on the sidelines, and he couldn't help anything.

After walking for a while, someone came over with a soft sedan car. When Xingyun asked, he learned that Princess Fu ordered someone to prepare it, saying that the eldest princess of Qinghe saw that her face was not good, and she was worried that something would happen to her, so she specially told Princess Fu.

A few people carried nature and walked faster, Yuan Ziqing put her eyebrows up, and held her hand on the side, so that she would not be too panicked and afraid.

When he walked halfway, he already saw red under his eyebrows, and Yuan Ziqing watched the blood drip all the way, and he only felt frightened. It's just that it was launched today, otherwise there would be no problem in the hidden bamboo garden. However, he could not blame others, it was his negligence that did not take the situation into account.

Fortunately, the Hidden Bamboo Garden has finally arrived.

When Meibian was sent to the delivery room, Yuan Ziqing followed directly, Princess Fu was not here, and no one came out to dissuade her. After all, his face was very embarrassed, and his subordinates didn't dare to say much.

Because it was very dangerous at the beginning, when I was lying on the bed and Wen Po let me exert myself, I had no strength on the side of my eyebrows. Yuan Ziqing has been guarding the head of the bed to cheer her up, but she just can't lift her strength, she only feels weak.

"Hold on." Yuan Ziqing's voice began to tremble, "Use force and the child will come out, don't scare me, lady......"

His lips moved on the side of his eyebrows, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, only looking at Yuan Ziqing with a pair of nostalgic eyes.

Yuan Ziqing was in a hurry, and held her hand hard, "You can't have anything, I don't allow you to have anything." "If you die, I won't live."...... ”

Her eyebrows widened suddenly, and she began to struggle to give birth to a force in her body that she didn't know where to come from. She picked up her life, but she still cherishes it very much. In this life, she already has the qiē she wants.

A husband and lover who love each other, a plain and warm life, a harmonious family, and a close friend...... She is unwilling to lose again, she is unwilling!

"The princess listens to me, inhale...... Exhaled...... "Wen Po seized the opportunity to step forward and command, the birth canal has been completely opened, and the child's head can be seen."

However, this burst of strength came and went quickly, and the body on the side of the eyebrows softened again. When Yuan Ziqing was at a loss, Xingyun hurriedly walked in with a box in his hand, "Lord Shizi, this is the Lingzhi that Miss Zhou gave to our girl." ”

"Let's make tea!" Yuan Ziqing was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered.

Then he turned his head and encouraged his eyebrows, "When Xingyun brews Ganoderma lucidum tea, you will have the strength to drink it." Brow, don't give up, hold on, I beg you......"

It didn't take long for Xingyun to return. Naturally, she couldn't drink anything like this, so Yuan Ziqing swallowed it with her mouth and let her drink it. It's a pity that after taking it next to the eyebrows, although his complexion is better, his strength is still not great. Her situation at this time was already very dangerous, and she was in a daze, and she could faint at any time.

In order to keep her awake, Yuan Ziqing even pinched a few handfuls on her arm to let the pain keep her awake, but it was just drinking to quench her thirst and delay time.

At that moment, there was a commotion outside, and soon the door was pushed open.

Yuan Ziqing turned his head and saw that Rao was in such a situation, and he couldn't help but be startled.

It turned out to be Zhou Yingyue who ran over in a wedding robe. She was followed by Xi Niang, who was persuading her with painstaking words, "My girl, how can you see red on this happy day?" You'd better come back with me, in case someone knows......"

"After all the etiquette of the line has been done, the wedding is over. What's not to see? Zhou Yingyue directly pushed the person away, "It's important to save your life, if the princess has one or two, can you afford it?" ”

She heard the news of the birth at the side of the eyebrows when she was drinking the wine. Because the situation was really dangerous, King Fu and the princess were busy asking people to ask for a doctor, and the news also reached them.

Zhou Yingyue waited patiently for the etiquette to end, and the people in the house were gone, so she hurried here. Xi Niang's sharp eyes saw it, so she hurried to follow.

There can't be too many people in the delivery room, otherwise bacteria and other things may be brought in. So Zhou Yingyue simply pushed the person out, and then closed the door.

Turning around, she didn't look at everyone, and directly commanded Xingyun, "Change all the clothes on your body for your girl." Then he had someone bring hot water, and after washing his hands, he walked up to his eyebrows and stuffed a piece of ginseng into her mouth.

The heavy bitterness made his eyebrows suddenly feel more refreshed, and he opened his eyes.

Seeing that it was her, his eyebrows were also startled, "You ......"

Zhou Yingyue held her hand, leaned into her ear and whispered, "I'll only say one word." Your birth today is very strange, and this difficult birth is even more inexplicable, are you willing to be killed like this? ”

His eyebrows widened suddenly. She had been thinking about production before, and she hadn't had time to think about today's events. However, now that I think about it, I feel that there is really something wrong with it. She walked for half an hour every day according to the instructions of the imperial doctor, and she ate and drank very dedicatedly, and there was no reason why she lost her strength so quickly. The most important thing is that it took less than half an hour for her to go from the seizure to the time she saw redness!

The first child is difficult to give birth, and some people may have a whole night from the seizure to the birth, even if it is short, it will take two or three hours, how can it be different when it comes to her?

Someone is trying to harm her!

The ginseng liquid in her mouth entered her body with every swallowing motion, and the eyebrows themselves puffed up with great willpower, so that her body seemed to regain its strength, and the once interrupted production process was restored. The midwives continued to inhale and exhale beside their eyebrows, and I don't know how long it took for the child's head to finally come out. The hardest step is over, and the following is very simple.

Zhou Yingyue breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and turned to Yuanzi Qing and said, "Shizi take care of her." I'll have to go back first. ”

Yuan Ziqing's voice was dry, and it took a while to squeeze out the word "thanks". Zhou Yingyue smiled heartily, waved her hand and walked away.

The child was born smoothly, and before he even had time to look at his eyebrows, he fainted to death. At this time, the imperial doctor had already arrived, and after checking the pulse, he determined that he was only weak and needed to recuperate, so he prescribed a prescription and left.

It was only at this time that Yuan Ziqing felt that he was prostrating all over his body.

He felt that he had not done enough, if it weren't for Zhou Yingyue today, he might only be able to watch something happen to his eyebrows like this. If Meibian died, he might not really be able to live. If the child is born, he may still be able to support and raise the child. If the child is also ...... He probably followed them.

At this moment, Yuan Ziqing clearly realized his shortcomings, and the idea of becoming stronger in his heart gradually became firm. If he wants to protect his family, he must not have any weakness, and he must keep moving forward, and keep getting stronger until he becomes an impregnable wall.

It's just that the weakest place is protected in the innermost, and there can be no mistakes.
