Chapter 64: Childbirth Goes Smoothly
?
Gao lived in the side hall of the hibiscus soup. I sent a few people over to wait, and also sent Shen Qi to check the pulse, after Shen Qi went, I determined that her fetus was a 'female', I was a little relieved, and began to examine those stable women.
In the end, I picked two old and young in the family, one seemed to be honest and tight-mouthed, and the other was greedy for money and snobbery.
'Chun'fen felt that the first one was acceptable, but the second was greedy for money and snobbery, and she was a little uneasy: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for such a person to stay around, Niangniang." ”
I said, "What I fancy is that she is greedy for money and snobbery, and she will only make a choice when the time comes, and after the fact, she must not stay in the world." Okay, pass the word to Qi Min and ask him to send someone to keep an eye on the families of these two people, first, not to let others use it, and second, to use it at a critical time. ”
"Yes, slave and maid understand. ”
I ate and lived with Gao every day, talked and did some needlework for the children in my spare time. The days are also comfortable, and before you know it, it will be the wax moon.
A few days after Laba, Qiheng came again, he usually sent people to send rewards, and this time he came with two carts full of things. I looked at his eyebrows and beard that were whitened by the wind and snow, and laughed at him for not resembling an emperor at all, to like a tenant from the mountains who came to pay tribute.
While changing his clothes, he smiled and said, "The snow is heavy, and the carriage is not easy to walk, so I rode over." ”
Warmth flowed through my heart, and I said, "Since you know that the snow is heavy, why do you want to come? ”
"You want to give birth here, how can you not prepare more, I see that you are radiant, it seems that the Gao family is with you, and you are a lot soothed. ”
"yes, we've been tinkering with kid's stuff all day, it's fun!"
After he changed his clothes, the Gao family came to ask for peace, and Qiheng said a few words of meritorious service to take care of the queen, and rewarded her with a lot of things. originally wanted to keep her for dinner, but Gao was a clever person, so he naturally declined.
I accompanied Qiheng to dinner, and he went to the hot spring and came back to rest.
He has been staying here for more than ten days, and if he doesn't return to the palace, I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up with Xiao Nian, so he was persuaded by me to go back, and promised him that I would send the news back as soon as there was any movement here, and he also took care of the stability of the palace, so he left.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, I asked people to prepare a sumptuous dinner, and said to Gao Clan apologetically: "Let you accompany the main palace, you can't reunite with the county king, the main palace is very uneasy!"
Gao said with a smile: "It is a blessing for the concubine to be able to accompany the mother, but there are still two 'servant' concubines in the house who can accompany the prince." ”
"You are generous, but our 'women' are born like this, men can hug left and right, but 'women' can only follow three virtues and four virtues. Alas, that's it, don't talk about this, eat vegetables, eat more. ”
While eating, Liu Youyu came in and said a few words to the 'spring', the 'spring' face and 'color' changed slightly, and he opened the curtain and came in and said to me: "Niangniang, the king of Langya is here." ”
I was stunned: "Why is he here?" looked at Gao again, and said with a smile: "I must miss the princess, please come in, it's really hard for him on such a cold day." ”
When Gao heard that Qi Min was coming, his face was red, and he couldn't even hold the chopsticks when he was 'agitated'.
I pretended not to see it, and invited Enlightenment in.
Qi Min saluted me, and I quipped: "The king of the county must miss the princess when he comes here at this time, right?"
Gao blushed and lowered his head, Qi Min looked at me, his eyes were gentle, and he smiled: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, I really miss it." ”
My face was hot, I looked at Gao, saw that she was becoming more and more shy, and sighed: "It's okay if you come, tonight is Xiao Nian, your husband and wife will reunite!"
Qi Min said: "Wechen is asking the emperor to come, first, to visit the princess, and second, the emperor is worried about Niangniang, and Wechen may be able to help here." ”
I smiled: "Sit down, anyway, just the three of us, let's have a small New Year's dinner at will." ”
The three of them sat down and ate something casually around the hot pot, and after eating, I asked Qi Min to go back to rest and stay quietly in the inner room.
Since the twenty-first day of the year, more than three people have been arranged for the night to be on duty every night in the 'spring', for fear that I will give birth at night.
After the twenty-third day, the palace people were even more trembling, even the Qi Min and Gao clans who came to greet me every day were solemn, but I didn't feel anything.
I had abdominal pain once during the twenty-fifth day, everyone was like a big enemy, and Shen Qi also came, but I didn't feel it after a while. Shen Qi also said that it didn't look like she was going to give birth, but my delivery date was only a few days!
Two days later, seeing that it was Chinese New Year's Eve, my stomach still didn't move. Twenty-eight nights hurt once, and after a while, it didn't hurt again.
Sure enough, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the labor pains were one after another, and Shen Qi took the pulse and determined that this time it was really going to be born. I was carried into the prepared delivery room, leaving two stable women and 'spring', I nodded at 'spring', 'spring' was clear, and went out to find Shen Qi.
I closed my eyes and waited, in the plan, Shen Qi would take the inducing 'medicine' as a fetal 'medicine' for Gao's to take, originally I was worried about 'exposing' my feet, but now that Qimin is here, Gao believes in him and will not doubt it.
In the middle of the night, my labor pains continued, and the news came at the 'spring' that Gao had also had a seizure.
"How is this good? Didn't it mean that she still had more than a month to give birth there? I only kept two Wen Po, that's it, Mrs. Zhao, you go over and take a look!" I pointed out the honest Wen Po to the Gao family, and asked Frost to come and help. Frostfall is a person of compassion, and it is best to let her go.
'Chun' helped me wipe my sweat and said, "My mother is like this, don't 'bother' about it." ”
The rest of Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, the slave has decades of experience in delivering babies, and she will definitely make her mother and daughter safe." ”
I didn't speak, gritted my teeth and endured the pain. Two hours passed, and my palace mouth opened a little, and it is said that Gao's place has already begun to give birth. No, I'll have to work harder!
I inhaled and exhaled as I was commanded, and I ......
When the sky was bright, the frost fell and returned, and I whispered a few words to the 'spring' equinox, and the 'spring' equinox told me: "The princess has given birth to a 'girl', but her 'essence' strength has been exhausted and she has fainted." The king of Langya is in the delivery room, and the mother is relieved. ”
Okay, everything is going well there, just wait for me here!
"Mother, work hard!"
Child, although you were not my child when you were born, your mother will definitely give birth to you and let you grow up safely and smoothly.
"It's out, it's out, the child's head is out!"
Hearing Wen Po's cry, I used my last strength - when the first rays of the sun shone on the earth in the early morning of the Yuan Ri, my second son came into the world.
"Born, born! Niangniang gave birth!" Wen Po happily cut off the umbilical cord of the child and wiped the blood on it, but exclaimed again, "Oh, it's a prince, not a princess!
I stared at her coldly, but I was too strong to speak. I glanced at the 'spring' equinox, and the 'spring' reprimanded: "What are you yelling about, don't talk nonsense!"
Wen Po was stunned there, watching the 'spring' coax the child to cry neatly, and then wrapped it in a soft jacket, put it in a wooden box that was impermeable on all sides, and 'handed' it to the frost. After a while, I saw Frostfall come back with the wooden box in his hand, and took out a baby from it and placed it beside me.
