Chapter 202: Stealing the Sky
This summer is really a festive season for children to be born.
Following the birth of Duanmao in early June, Duanqin's second child was born on June 21 before the Yao sisters. is still a cute little daughter.
Although they failed to give birth to a son for the Qin family, the couple didn't mind at all. As long as the family can be harmonious, boys and girls are not very important to them.
The eldest daughter's name is Qin Min, and Qin Fu named the younger daughter Qin Si. The sisters' names are taken together, which means "sensitive and studious, sensitive and thoughtful".
Four more days passed, and on the afternoon of June twenty-five, Concubine Xuan began to have seizures. Maybe it's because the twin sisters have a heart-to-heart connection, and before it gets dark, the sister and concubine gradually react. It seems that the children of the two are really going to be born on the same day.
The two young mothers were both first-born and inexperienced, and they were a little panicked when the labor pains attacked; The personal maids are also yellow flower girls, where have you ever seen the scene of giving birth? Fortunately, at the beginning of the month, the mother's family was worried that the two girls would encounter trouble during childbirth, so they specially sent two experienced stable women from home.
These two old grandmothers, one surnamed Qian and the other surnamed Chen, were personally selected by Mrs. Yao. It is said that the two are also related to Mrs. Yao's own family, and they must do their best for the sisters.
Taking advantage of the presence of the two grandmothers, Yutu hurriedly ran to the Tai Hospital to invite the doctor and the medical girl; Qingsleeve went to the small kitchen to prepare ginseng soup and eat for the two little masters; Qian and Chen stood unhurriedly at the door of the dormitory and talked.
"I've just started to have labor pains, and the amniotic fluid hasn't broke, so I guess it will be better for a while." Mama Qian didn't want to go in early to listen to the woman's ghost crying wolf.
Mama Chen approached Mama Qian, looked around and asked quietly, "Are things ready?" ”
"It's ready, it's been put in the concubine's house." Mama Qian sighed twice: "To be honest, that thing is really crazy!" ”
"Alas, who calls people a serious lady? As for the other one...... Blame yourself for your own bad life. Well, I won't tell you, let's go to the concubine's house first and see if there's anything else to order. You also look at this house, don't go wrong! Mama Chen shook her handkerchief, and her fat body twisted and walked towards Yao Biyuan's bedroom.
"Don't worry, I'll go in and watch." Mama Qian didn't want to be punished by her wife, so she hurried into Yao Tingxuan's bedroom after speaking.
Before Mama Qian got close to the bed, she heard Yao Tingxuan's heart-rending cry.
"Mama! Mama, I'm in so much pain! Help me! It hurts so much! Seeing Mama Qian come in, Tingxuan grabbed her sleeve like a life-saving straw.
"Little master, bear with me, women give birth to children like this. There will be some tossing later, now that I have used up my strength, beware of the child's dystocia! You have to be strong, learn from your sister, she won't scream like you. Mama Qian's words were half consoling and half scareming.
Tingxuan was frightened, she gritted her teeth and endured. At the same time, I listened carefully to the voices outside, and it seemed that I really couldn't hear my sister's screams. Sure enough, my sister is still stronger than her, and she can't lose to her sister, she must hold back!
Seeing Tingxuan sweating profusely, Mama Qian twisted a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, and said with relief: "That's right, the little master has to leave the strength to produce." Later, the green-sleeved girl will bring the ginseng soup, you have drunk the hanging spirit first, and it is better to eat something. The old slave will take a look at a few fingers for you? ”
Tingxuan has lost her ability to think in pain, where can she still listen to what Wen Po is saying? At this time, she can only be at the mercy of others. Seeing that she didn't answer, Mama Qian didn't ask anymore, and went straight to check the mother's condition.
As soon as the examination was finished, Yutu invited the imperial doctor to arrive, and Qingsleeve also brought a food box over. Mama Qian bypassed the screen, waved her hand at them and said, "I just opened a finger, and I guess I have to stay up until the evening." ”
Qing Sleeves thought for a while and suggested, "That's it, Yutu, you first lead the imperial doctor to the guest room and wait; Then I went to the small kitchen to stare at the oxytocic medicine boiled for the little masters. I'll put down the ginseng soup first, and I'll change you later? ”
"Okay, I'm sorry for the trouble Sister Qingsleeve!" Yutu did not doubt him, and completely obeyed the arrangement of the green sleeves.
As soon as Yutu and the Imperial Doctor walked on the front foot, the green sleeves on the back foot immediately closed the door and beckoned Mama Qian to a corner that Concubine Xuan couldn't see.
"Does the girl have orders?" Mama Qian lowered her voice, for fear of being heard by Yao Tingxuan. But it seems that she is worried in vain, Yao Tingxuan has completely fallen into the state of six gods and no master.
"Stuff is in there. After using it, it is still in this box, quietly placed under the window at the back, and someone will take it away. Qingsleeve lifted the food box in his hand, handed it to Mama Qian, and instructed: "The ginseng soup is placed on the first layer, don't forget to give it to Master Xuan to drink." ”
Mama Qian smiled mysteriously and nodded: "The old slave understands." After she took out the ginseng soup, she found a hidden corner to hide the food box.
Green sleeves returned to Bi Kite's side, only to see Bi Kite lying on the bed for a long time, not crying or making trouble.
"Oh, my good little master! Where are you like having a baby? Having a baby with you so calm? Qingsleeve glanced at Mama Chen dissatisfied.
"Girl, don't stare at the old slave! The old slave had already persuaded the little master to shout a few times appropriately, but the little master ......, "This eldest lady is very difficult to get it, and she doesn't listen to persuasion at all!"
Fortunately, Qingsleeve had already bribed the stable woman in the palace in advance as instructed, so that they didn't have to take care of the production of the two little masters and handed it over to their mother's family. Otherwise, it's a hassle to be noticed by experienced people!
"Little master, will you listen to the slave this time? Please make a show of it! The Imperial Doctor is in the guest room, so let's not make him suspicious, right? Qingsleeve persuaded hard, and finally provoked Yao Biyuan to be impatient and compromise.
"What a hassle! Since I was pregnant with this 'child', it has not stopped for a day! Yao Biyuan slapped her stomach a few times, and then howled a few times in her throat. Then the white maid was the same as Wen Po: "This is always okay, right?" Why don't you pick this thing out of the way for me? As he spoke, he pulled out a round pillow from his abdomen and threw it on the ground.
"Okay, good, slave maid, let's help the little master untie it." Qingsleeve sighed helplessly.
As the gauze wrapped around Yao Bikite's abdomen was unraveled one by one, there was no need to hide the truth. In fact, as you can see in front of you, Yao Biyuan has no children in her belly at all! It's all just a game she has set up!
Some people may want to ask, it is a true fact that the Yao sisters were diagnosed with pregnancy! The imperial doctor who asked for their pulse was not the kind that could be bought with money, and it was impossible for Yao Biyuan to cheat. Why is it that at this point, the child is gone?
Do you still remember when the concubines and nobles came to visit last month, Yao Biyuan reacted very much when she saw the hawthorn? The origin of the incident dates back to seven months ago, when Bi Kite was less than three months pregnant.
At the beginning of her pregnancy, Bi Kite was actually the same as Tingxuan, and she was extremely acidophilic. She estimated that she was pregnant with a little prince in her belly, and she was happy but worried that someone would be unfavorable to her. So he cleverly concealed the change in taste, and behind closed doors he used a large number of sour fruits, mainly hawthorn.
Experienced people know that hawthorn should not be consumed in large quantities in the early stages of pregnancy. Because although hawthorn has an appetizing effect, it also has a contraction effect on a woman's child. If a pregnant woman consumes a large amount, it will stimulate the uterine contraction, and in severe cases, it will lead to miscarriage.
Obviously, Yao Bikite, who is not medical and inexperienced, is the unlucky guy who ate too much hawthorn and caused a miscarriage. So, her baby was no longer in the third trimester of pregnancy. The continued pregnancy after that was all pretended by her, and the purpose was for today!
Hours passed, and night had fallen. Yao Biyuan's voice was hoarse, and Tingxuan had not moved there, which was really anxious!
"Why haven't you given birth for so long? How long do I have to pretend? Yao Biyuan drank another bowl of tea to moisten her throat, although she did not give birth, but the sin was not less.
"It's almost over, it's already inducing labor, and it doesn't take long to give birth!" Mama Chen carefully discerned the situation on the other side - listening to Concubine Xuan's cry and calculating the time from the water break to the present, she judged that Concubine Xuan had a difficult birth.
However, it may be easier for them to do things because of difficult births. Mama Chen made a "reassuring" expression to Yao Biyuan and Qingsleeve, and planned to go over to find out in person.
Concubine Xuan's west side hall was already busy, and a medical girl, Mama Qian and Jade Rabbit were guarding the inner room to accompany Tingxuan to give birth; The outside doctors, assistants and palace people were running around and busy.
The child's head has already come out, and it looks like it's not small, no wonder Concubine Xuan is so laborious. Mama Qian took advantage of the fact that everyone else was focused on the child, and secretly kicked the small scissors used to hinge the umbilical cord under the bed.
With Yao Tingxuan's last exertion and last moan, the little guy who had tormented her for several hours finally broke away from her mother's body. And Yao Tingxuan also fell asleep at the moment when the child was born.
"It's out! It's out! It's a boy! The Jade Rabbit cheered, and the little master's child was finally born!
However, the strange thing is that the little prince was born without crying loudly, but remained motionless as if he was asleep.
"Huh? This child is so strange, why doesn't he cry? The doctor slapped the child twice on the back, but the baby still didn't respond. She felt that something was wrong, and she didn't know whether she should call the doctor to come in and take a look.
"Is this umbilical cord still attached? Let's cut the umbilical cord first! What about scissors? Who saw my scissors? Mama Qian suddenly began to rummage around, and the already chaotic situation became even more chaotic.
"The scissors are missing? I'll go find another one! Jade Rabbit said that he was about to run outside.
"Hey! Jade Rabbit girl, the scissors should be roasted on the fire for a while more to sterilize! After reminding Yutu, Mama Qian turned around and discussed with the doctor girl worriedly: "It's not a good thing that the child doesn't cry, why don't you call the doctor to take a look?" I'll clean up briefly for the little lord first, and I'll tell you to come in and you come in again. ”
"Okay, I'll go." The healer nodded. After all, the delivery room is filthy and the mother is untidy, so it is indeed inconvenient for men to see it.
The doctor girl and the jade rabbit both went to the outer room, and at this time, Mama Qian quickly picked up the scissors and hinged the baby's umbilical cord. He wrapped the baby in a cloth and put it in a food box and went out through the window. Mama Qian heard the sound, and sure enough, it seemed that someone had taken away the food box, and that person was Mama Chen, who had come to explore the situation at the time.
And it turned out that what was placed in the lower layer of the food box was a male dead baby! Look at the condition of the corpse, that is, just an hour after death.
Mama Qian wrapped the dead baby in a brocade quilt, held it in her arms and turned it upside down, and said to herself: "Fortunately, Concubine Xuan gave birth to a prince, otherwise your little guy would have to be left to the eldest lady for her own use." ”
Mama Chen pinched her thigh hard, and she burst into tears in pain, and then screamed sadly: "Someone! Oh no! The little prince is out of breath! ”
