Chapter 1359: Birth
In the blink of an eye, Du Qinniang was about to give birth, and after Li Zhongyi learned the news, he rushed over non-stop.
Not far from the back door of the Taoist temple, there is a newly renovated small courtyard where the delivery room is located.
When Li Zhongyi arrived, several pots of hot water had already been boiled on the stove, and the stable woman and the maid were also in place and ready for battle.
According to the past practice, Li Zhongyi carefully inspected the facilities and personnel of the entire delivery room, and did not relax until all the inventory was complete.
Under Li Zhongyi's instructions, Du Qinniang was helped into the delivery room and lay on the delivery bed.
Du Qinniang was very scared, so she kept holding Li Zhongyi's hand and refused to let go.
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said, "Don't be afraid, you're ready, you have had a baby before, and this time it must be unusually smooth." β
Du Qinniang nodded, but the hand holding Li Zhongyi was getting tighter and tighter, as if a tiger was chasing after her, for fear of being taken away.
Li Zhongyi knew that she was very scared, so he simply let her go and sat on the delivery bed.
The Wenpo Huang family, who came to return to life, obviously saw Li Zhongyi and Du Qinniang's hands, holding them tightly, but as if they didn't see it, they squatted down and reported: "If you go back to the emperor, the scissors have been dipped in alcohol and roasted on the fire to eliminate the poison." More than 400 dried white veils were prepared, all of which were washed and dried under the sun for half a month. In addition, all the women and servants who served here had washed their hands with alcohol. β
Li Zhongyi nodded and said with a smile: "There is Mama Lao Huang." β
The Huang family hurriedly squatted down and saluted, and said respectfully: "The concubine can serve the emperor for you, it is the ancestor who accumulates virtue, how dare you say that it is hard?" β
Du Qinniang has been dealing with the Huang family a lot these days, and her heart moved slightly, so she said: "Mama Huang has really worked hard, come and see the reward." β
Zhao Chun, who had been prepared, took out a handful of small gold bills from his arms, stuffed them directly into Huang's hand, and said with a smile: "There is Mama Huang." β
Huang understands better than anyone else that the so-called taking people's money and eliminating disasters with others, and her midwifery for Du Qinniang cannot be sued by heaven and earth, and cannot be sued by parents, husbands and children, and must rot in the stomach forever.
No kidding, as long as this matter is leaked a little, none of the people present will survive.
Today, the saint has made the belly of the imperial concubine of the first dynasty bigger, and as long as this matter is spread, it will be a big scandal that pierces the sky.
Of course, the grandmothers and maids present were all female officials in the palace, and they were temporarily dispatched by Li Zhongyi to help.
When this happens, everyone here will return to the palace.
Li Zhongyi made this arrangement, and he has controlled the hidden danger of news leakage to the greatest extent. Because he said it first, as long as the news leaked out, no matter who said it, everyone present would be buried alive.
Perhaps because of the previous childbirth, Du Qinniang's stomach attacked, and the child was born in less than an hour.
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, she is a beautiful and lovely little princess." Huang lifted the baby's legs upside down and slapped the buttocks hard.
"Wow Wow Wow......" The baby who didn't cry suddenly started crying.
Li Zhongyi nodded secretly, he chose the Huang family to assist in the production, and he did not choose the wrong person, the Huang family is indeed extremely experienced.
Turn the baby upside down and hit the little buttocks, mainly for fear that the amniotic fluid will choke on the child.
When the little princess was wrapped in swaddling clothes and sent to Li Zhongyi, he couldn't help but take the little baby, leaned over and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
"Show me the child...... Du Qinniang finally relieved herself, and opened her mouth to see the child.
Li Zhongyi gently hugged the child and came to Du Qinniang's eyes, Du Qinniang looked at it for a long time, then took a long breath and sighed: "What a lovely child, for her, even if I suffer a lot, I am willing." β
This baby is a girl, but it solves a big problem!
According to the prior agreement, if a baby boy is born, he will be "accidentally" picked up by Li Zhongyi and returned to the palace. If it is a baby girl, Du Qinniang will raise ChΓ©ng RΓ©n outside the palace, and in the future she will marry according to the etiquette of the princess.
After Du Qinniang drank a bowl of ginseng soup, her energy recovered slightly, and she offered to hug the child.
Li Zhongyi was worried that Du Qinniang would be physically exhausted and would fall the child, so he put his hands under her arms. In case something happens, he can catch it right away.
Du Qinniang saw that Li Zhongyi was so nervous about the child, and a warm current suddenly surged in her originally resentful heart: there is still a place for her in a man's heart.
Li Zhongyi actually breathed a sigh of relief, if it was a boy, there would be a so-called adopted son in the palace for no reason, and anyone would suspect it.
Because it was a smooth delivery, Du Qinniang, who had drunk milk that night, walked around the courtyard several times with the support of Li Zhongyi and Zhao Chun.
According to the concept of this era, a woman in confinement is completely unable to blow the wind.
In fact, this is a wrong concept, what Li Zhongyi advocates is that moderate nutrition supplementation and moderate exercise are definitely 10,000 times stronger than being bedridden.
The so-called postpartum weakness is mainly caused by wound infection caused by pregnant women who cannot give birth smoothly after being cut out.
The reason why the cut is made is that the child cannot be born, and the pregnant woman and the child will die together. If you cut the mouth, you have a chance to save = the child, as for whether the pregnant woman will be infected, it can only be left to fate.
That night, Li Zhongyi did not return to the palace, but accompanied Du Qinniang in the small courtyard.
According to Li Zhongyi's conjecture, after Du Qinniang consumed a huge amount of physical strength, she should be drowsy. However, who would have thought that Du Qinniang's energy was extraordinarily vigorous, she took Li Zhongyi's hand and said that she was not yawning until the sky was dark, and soon fell into a dark and sweet dream.
Because Li Zhongyi was staying in the army, after he came out of the small courtyard, he pretended to go to Li Yunxiao's yamen.
Li Yunxiao's Nine Gate Admiral Yamen is located on Tongle Street in the east of Kaifeng City, which is very close to the Imperial Palace and Fengqiu Gate, which is just the throat of the entire capital.
Hearing that Li Zhongyi was coming, Li Yunxiao, who was convening a meeting of his subordinates, hurriedly tidied up his clothes and ran out quickly to meet the emperor's sudden arrival.
"Xiaosong, you're busy with your going, just find me a place to make up for sleep." Between Li Zhongyi and Li Yunxiao, there was no need to talk nonsense at all, he directly made a request.
Li Yunxiao didn't say anything, and directly led Li Zhongyi into his duty bedroom. Li Zhongyi didn't say a word, he didn't even bother to take off his clothes, he just lay on the bed with his clothes closed, and began to fall asleep.
PS: The leader calls for entertainment, and I can only change it today, sorry!
