Chapter Eighty-Five: Nohime is born
In March 1556, heart-rending screams rang out from a room in the castle tower of Cheongju Castle, which had just been renovated. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Outside, Oda Nobunaga walked back and forth with an anxious face, and asked Yamada Masamura from time to time with a worried face, "Why haven't you given birth yet?!" ā
"Don't worry, it's almost soon!!" Yamada Masamura was also a little anxious, but he could only force his composure to comfort Oda Nobunaga. That's the only thing he can do at the moment. There's no way, having a child is such a thing, and a big man like him really can't help.
At this moment, another miserable cry came, and Oda Nobunaga suddenly couldn't stand still, "I'm going to go in and have a look!" Oda Nobunaga shouted, but was immediately stopped by Li Huamei and Dazhu He, who had been guarding the door.
"Big Sister Yu and the midwife both said that no one is allowed to come in until they take the initiative to open the door!" Li Huamei said righteously, while pushing Oda Nobunaga out. At this time, she didn't care if Oda Nobunaga was a family governor.
"But...... But ......" Oda Nobunaga anxiously wanted to say something, but at this time his mind was almost blank, where could he organize a complete sentence? Fortunately, Yamada Masamura was right next to him, and he pulled Oda Nobunaga back.
"It is said that if a woman sees the wind when she gives birth, it is easy to be dangerous." Yamada Masamura casually made up a reason, although he didn't know anything about production, but he believed that in this situation, as long as it was related to Nohime's safety, he could get a buff that doubled the effect.
Sure enough, Oda Nobunaga, who heard this, still looked at the room anxiously, but he didn't rush into it anymore.
Just after getting one, a weak voice came into the ears of Yamada Masamura.
"Brother Overlord Maru, is it such a painful thing to have a child?" Aichi's face was full of panic, obviously frightened by Nohime's screams.
"Uh...... Should...... No way? Yamada replied uncertainly. Well, he has never given birth to a child, nor has he watched others give birth to a child, although major movies and television basically depict women giving birth to children as terrifying, but Yamada Masamura saw Ashi's frightened appearance. Where do you dare to say that?
"Really? That's fine...... Otherwise, Ah Shi won't have children! Ah Shi looked at the room not far away with a frightened expression, and said with a sigh of relief.
"Damn, it's okay......" Yamada Masamura scolded secretly. If Ah Shi is really allowed to have a shadow on the birth of a child at such a time, then it will be troublesome in the future.
Come to think of it. Yamada Masamura hurriedly said casually, "Don't worry, most women have children easily, and they come out in two clicks." After speaking, Yamada Masamura cautiously looked at Ashi's expression. It's a pity that at this time, Ah Shi frowned and didn't say a word, but his eyes kept staring at the house, and he didn't know if he heard Yamada Masamura's answer.
"Nima, it seems that I have to persuade her after I go back, this kind of thing still has to be more convincing for people who have experienced it." Yamada Masamura secretly made up his mind.
I don't know how long it took, but finally, a crisp cry covered everything, and Oda Nobunaga was about to rush into the house. But thinking of what Yamada Masamura said just now, he stopped again.
Looking at Oda Nobunaga looking pitiful and looking at the sliding door in front of him, Yamada Masamura couldn't help but feel a little funny, "I can't imagine that the future Sixth Heaven Demon King will be so useless when his child is born." ā
Yamada Masamura constantly despises Oda Nobunaga in his heart, isn't he worried that he will be like this in the future? Well, where would Yamada Masamura care about something so far away?
Just as he was thinking about it, the sliding door that Oda Nobunaga was looking forward to was finally opened. Immediately, just listening to the sound of "boom", Oda Nobunaga disappeared in front of Yamada Masamura's eyes. If it weren't for Yamada Masamura knowing very well that the person just now was indeed Oda Nobunaga. I'm afraid you'll think you're running into the world of Naruto! That speed is almost comparable to the teleportation technique.
Well, in fact, everyone's speed is quite fast, including Xiao Ashi and Li Huamei and Da Zhuhe, who were still guarding the door just now. Perhaps for these people who have not experienced the birth of a child, the birth of a child is a very miraculous thing.
"Cut, these guys who haven't seen the world." Yamada Masamura looked at the people who rushed in with disdain, muttered in his heart, and then turned his eyes to the little baby next to him. Belch...... Something seems wrong.
Everyone excitedly surrounded Oda Nobunaga, who was holding the little baby, and their eyes kept roaming back and forth over the baby's body. Ah Shi poked the baby's cheek with his finger from time to time, screaming.
After making a fuss, Oda Nobunaga suddenly remembered that he didn't know if the child was a man or a woman. Hurriedly asked the silent midwife, "Midwife, is my child a boy or a girl?" ā
At this time, looking at the silent appearance of the midwife, Yamada Masamura had already guessed a few points in his heart. Well, in this day and age, there is generally such a custom that if a boy is born, the midwife generally receives a monetary reward. And now the midwife's appearance, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't seem to be too happy to say.
"Back to Your Highness...... Be...... It's a girl! The midwife said with a worried face, she only hoped that Oda Nobunaga would not blame her for this. Hawkers, this kind of thing hasn't happened before, especially those daimyo who can't ask for a son. It is said that a short-tempered daimyo directly cut down the midwife who delivered the baby, for the simple reason that the midwife's incorrect delivery posture led to the birth of a girl.
Hearing this, the room suddenly became quiet, and even the youngest Ah Shi was silent. Even Li Huamei, who has just come to Japan for a short time, knows how big the status gap between men and women is here, not to mention that this is Oda Nobunaga's first child.
"Yoshiboshi ...... I'm sorry......" Nohime's weak voice came, and when she turned her head to look, Nohime at this time no longer had any joy of being a first-time mother.
Speaking of which, from the time Nohime first married to Owari, many people expected him to give birth to a boy. As mentioned earlier, it is not only the inheritance of blood, but also more political factors. But after so many years, Nonghime has never been pregnant. Although everyone didn't say it, there were still rumors that she couldn't have children.
In this regard, although Nonghime didn't pay attention to it on the surface, she still cared very much in her heart. After all, a woman is said to be infertile? It's not a joke.
The fact that Yoshino was so easily accepted by the Oda family was also the main reason for this. Because the retainers of the Oda family are no longer patient, they only need a young master, no matter who the woman who gave birth to him is. To know. Oda Nobunaga was 22 years old at this time, and the governor of this age had no children? It's a fantasy.
So this pregnancy, Nonghime also held her breath, not only eating all kinds of legendary foods that can give birth to boys. even secretly went to the temple to offer incense, just to get a boy. But now ...... "next time...... I'll definitely have a boy next time! Nohime thought so when she heard the news.
Hearing the midwife's words, Oda Nobunaga carefully handed over the child to Yoshino and sat down beside Nohime. He took her hand and laughed, "Haha! Aren't boys and girls all our children? What's there to be sad about? ā
"Yes, sister, you're still young, you can have a few more~" Ji Nai also persuaded him.
In other words, every time she sees Yoshino, who is a few years older than Nohime, affectionately calling her sister, Yamada Masamura always feels strange and secretly admires Nohime's methods.
It's just that just when the atmosphere eased slightly under the persuasion of Oda Nobunaga and others, the midwife suddenly stammered, "Your Highness...... That ......"
"Huh? Why are you still here? Why don't you get out of here?! Oda Nobunaga waved his sleeves back angrily. Well, although when he persuaded Nohime, Oda Nobunaga kept emphasizing that he didn't care about men and women. But of course, he was definitely not in a good mood at this time. In addition, when I saw the midwife's appearance, I thought that she wanted to be cheeky and ask for a reward, so it was naturally impossible to give her any good looks.
It's just that the midwife didn't leave obediently, but stood there and hesitated for a moment, and when Oda Nobunaga was about to get angry, she suddenly knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "Your Highness, Mrs. Nohime's birth this time is a difficult birth. Although the mother and daughter are safe, they are also very injured, I am afraid that ......"
"I'm afraid of what?!" Oda Nobunaga heard this and slowly stood up. Squatting in front of the midwife, he asked softly with an expressionless face. It's just that although he doesn't seem to be angry, Yamada Masamura understands that Oda Nobunaga at this time is already full of killing intent.
"Really?" Yamada Masamura looked at Nohime, who was lying weakly on the bed, and had a bad premonition in his heart.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to have children anymore......"
The midwife finally said what Yamada Masamura didn't want to hear, and he immediately looked at Nohime, only to find Nohime at this time. The delicate face was full of expressions of helplessness, confusion, pain, and self-blame, making Yamada Masamura unable to believe that this person was the usual queen full of confidence and domineering.
And after the midwife said the last words weakly, the room fell into a strange silence, because even Aichi could feel the strong murderous aura in Oda Nobunaga's body, and as for the midwife, she was even more frightened and trembled, and kept shouting, "Your Highness spares your life." ā
In the middle of the sound, Oda Nobunaga finally made a move, only to see him staring at the midwife and slowly pulling out the sword. Everyone didn't stop it, and the women were already frightened by Oda Nobunaga, and they didn't have the courage to stop it at all. And what about Yamada Masamura? It's the words of resentment of the midwife that make Nonghime become like this, and naturally he won't stop it.
"Your Highness...... Don't kill anyone, okay? Anon, please......" Nohime's weakness came with a hint of despair, and in an instant, the sword in Oda Nobunaga's hand fell to the ground.
"What do you call me?!" Oda Nobunaga turned and walked over to Nohime's side, staring at Nohime with the anger in his eyes.
"Temple ......"
"Your Highness!" As soon as Nongji came out with a voice, Li Huamei on the side suddenly shouted, "Your Highness! On a day like today, you can't see blood in the Ming Kingdom! It's so unlucky! In a word, it not only covered Nohime's voice, but also gave Oda Nobunaga a suitable reason.
Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga immediately stood up and walked to the midwife's side again, and kicked the midwife's body fiercely, "Get out!" Don't let me see you again! Oda Nobunaga scolded angrily.
Where did the midwife who had picked up her life dare to say more, and immediately crawled away. And with her gone, the room fell into an eerie silence again.
At this moment, a crisp cry came again, and the voice was so loud that everyone's hearts were lifted.
"Alas, Master Kichibo, look at you, you are scared to cry for my niece~" Yamada Masamura said with a blaming face, and took the baby from Yoshino's hand, coaxing it jerkily. The clumsy appearance finally eased the strange atmosphere.
"Humph! Stupid Overlord Pill, are you coaxing children like this? Bring it to me! Oda Nobunaga snorted coldly, reaching out to take the child.
As soon as his hand was stretched out, Yamada Masamura became more dexterous, "Cut, have you ever taken care of the child?" I've finally hugged Ah Shi big! Yamada Masamura retorted disdainfully.
Originally, the two of them did this kind of laughing behavior just because they didn't want to think about the unpleasant things just now, but after Yamada Masamura coaxed it twice, the baby really didn't cry. Not only did he not cry, but he also rushed to Yamada Masamura Naole.
At this moment, Yamada Masamura was even more proud, "Haha! You see! What am I talking about?! We are born to be masters of coaxing children! Yamada Masamura casually gave himself a new title, and then smiled at Ah Shi, "Tut, I remember when I hugged you, you were also happy with me." ā
"Humph! Brother Stinky Overlord Maru, since that's the case, you can go and marry her! Ah Shi pouted and hugged his arms and said dissatisfiedly, this sentence that made people laugh and was not full of vinegar, and finally made the room laugh again.
"Hahahaha! Ah Shi, I can't imagine that you are still a small vinegar tank? But I can't let my precious daughter be spoiled by this bastard. Oda Nobunaga carefully snatched the baby from Yamada Masamura's hands, laughed and joked about Aichi, and despised Yamada Masamura by the way.
"Master Jibo......" Nohime called softly, at this time, she was already in tears, moved, remorseful, and sad......
"Okay, Anon, you have to remember that you will always be my Oda Nobunaga's wife! Nothing will change because of the child! So, don't say anything that makes me angry! My temper, you know! Oda Nobunaga said to Nohime with a straight face.
"Ano is wrong...... Nohime took Oda Nobunaga's hand, tears streaming down her face.
At this time, Yamada Masamura also quietly left with the daughters. "Tonight, it's going to be another sleepless night...... Yamada Masamura sighed. (To be continued.) )
