Chapter 316: Childbirth
Helian Hongyi knocked on the bed frame, and the palace maid who was on night outside came in and lit the lamp, the faint yellow light turned on, Gu Banqin held his stomach, sat up hard, looked down at his hand, and was frightened by the red in his hand.
Helian Hongyi nervously pulled Gu Banqin's hand to his eyes, and then hurriedly lifted the quilt, and saw that the place where Gu Banqin slept was all stained red with blood and water, and Gu Banqin himself was stunned.
I saw Helian Hongyi run out without saying a word, and he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he listened to his voice and shouted calmly outside:
"Wang Shun, call out the imperial doctor and Wen Po, and prepare in the delivery room. The mother is about to give birth. ”
Although his voice sounded calm, with Gu Banqin's understanding of him, she could still hear nervousness in his voice, but now, she didn't have the heart to care about anything else.
With Helian Hongyi's order, the entire Lihua Palace vibrate, up and down, inside and out, the sound of chaotic footsteps came and went, Gu Banqin was helped out of bed by Liu Wu and Qingyun, and the two girls were frightened when they saw the blood stains on Gu Banqin's lower body and skirt.
The catkins were almost trembling, and Wen Po led the four little eunuchs in, and the little eunuchs carried a soft seat in their hands, let Gu Banqin sit, and then went to the delivery room.
Duan Shi came over, stretched out his hand to hold Gu Banqin's somewhat cold hand, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the time has come, don't think about anything for a while, shout when it hurts, and shout hard, you know?" Wen Po will do whatever you want, don't twist it, be smart, the child in the belly can only rely on you alone now, understand? Only you can help him, understand? ”
Gu Banqin's face turned pale when he heard this, he nodded slightly, his voice was as low as a mosquito and a fly, Helian Hongyi also came, Duan saw him barefoot, and said to him: "The emperor is waiting outside, I am inside, there is no need to worry." ”
Helian Hongyi stepped forward and also held Gu Banqin's hand, squeezing it tightly, Gu Banqin looked at him, although Helian Hongyi did not speak, but Gu Banqin was still able to draw strength from his steady and powerful hands, but said strongly to Helian Hongyi:
"Don't worry, I'll try to give birth to the baby."
Helian Hongyi said in a deep voice: "You can't have anything to do, tonight is a hurdle for our family, it's up to you alone, I'm waiting for you, don't be afraid, no matter what, I'm here." ”
Gu Banqin listened to Helian Hongyi's words, nodded again and again, wanting him to see his strong side, but somehow, tears fell from her eyes, and Wen Po saw it, and hurriedly came over and said:
"Niangniang, don't cry, from now on, you have to save some effort, and use it later, your eyes are crying, and you won't be able to see the wind in the future."
Gu Banqin stopped at this time, the delivery room is in the easternmost part of Lihua Palace, all of which have been arranged and arranged a long time ago, and the palace maids and grandmothers have already put the hot water and tent ropes, just waiting for Gu Banqin to carry it in.
Gu Banqin felt weak when she looked at the posture and wanted to run, but the sudden labor pain in her stomach made her limbs weak, and she went to the delivery bed with Duan's and a few grandmothers, and as soon as she put it down, she couldn't help but scream.
I heard Wen Po on the side say: "It's moving, it's moving, it's moving, everyone's hands and feet are numb, what about hot water?" Hurry up. Go prepare some sugar water and give it to the mother to drink, are the doctors outside? ”
Outside the screen, more than a dozen imperial doctors waited for the midwife, and gave the midwife a response, and the delivery room became restless all of a sudden, Gu Banqin watched many people walking around beside her, but she was the most idle, her stomach just hurt for a while, and it would be fine after the pain, and at other times, she held Duan's hand and listened to Duan's talk to her to relax.
Gu Banqin's labor pains became bigger and bigger, and the number of times was increasing, and she finally experienced the exaggerated screams in the TV series, at this time, she only felt that no matter how loud the sound was, she couldn't relieve the pain of cracking bones in her stomach.
The midwife surrounded her and taught her to ventilate, but she told Gu Banqin that she was not yet well, Gu Banqin survived wave after wave, and Duan fed her some sugar water from time to time to wipe Gu Banqin's sweat.
I don't know how long it took, the mother began to let Gu Banqin exert her strength, Gu Banqin felt that her bones seemed to be crushed, but she felt more awake than ever, feeling that the child in her belly was struggling, Gu Banqin knew that he was also working hard.
Duan is right, now the child can rely on, only her mother, if she doesn't work hard, the child can't come out, with this thought, Gu Banqin held back her screaming, concentrated her strength on the lower body, and according to the teachings of the mother, she exhaled, inhaled, and exhaled very regularly.
Her nails were almost pinched into the flesh of Duan's hand, but Duan didn't care, grabbed Gu Banqin tightly, wiped her sweat with the other hand, and encouraged her in her ear.
Gu Banqin had never felt so sober at this moment in her life, worked hard, gritted her teeth and persevered, and after waiting for about a century, the midwife finally said happily:
"It's out, it's out, it's going to come out, and it's almost the same if you use two more times, hard."
Hearing the words of the mother, Gu Banqin's whole person was like an inspired soldier, took a deep breath, stared, gritted his teeth, and used all the strength he had to feed.
Then after a while, I felt that my stomach seemed to be empty, and there was a contraction, and the whole stomach seemed to be hollowed out, Gu Banqin shouted the last time, and then the strength completely stopped.
Consciousness drifted away from the air, in a daze, Gu Banqin heard a loud cry, listening to the middle qi is quite sufficient, and the mother immediately reported the good news:
"Congratulations to Niangniang, it's a little highness! He's a big fat boy. ”
After Gu Banqin heard this, she completely fainted, but there was a satisfied smile on the corner of her mouth, and then she didn't know anything.
After Duan's helped Gu Banqin clean up, he changed his clothes, and then went outside the screen to see the little grandson who was cleaning.
Duan looked at the child, he was born white and pure, between his eyebrows, he actually gave birth to a small red mole, looking very delicate, the mother gave her a sin of the crime, and then carried the child to the door, and told Helian Hongyi, who was waiting anxiously outside.
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, Niangniang gave birth to a little highness of seven pounds and eight taels for the emperor."
Helian Hongyi was outside the door, and an opening was opened in the middle of the special door of the delivery room, Helian Hongyi saw from there that it had been washed and wrapped in swaddling clothes, stopped crying, and was closing his eyes and mouth, his small lips were pink and tender, and there was a small red dot in the center of his eyebrows.
"How's the mother's body?"
The midwife gave Helian Hongyi a reassurance: "The emperor can rest assured, the mother is in good health, she is too tired now, she has fallen asleep, and she should wake up later." ”
Helian Hongyi nodded again and again, Gu Banqin was fine, the window of the delivery room was closed, Helian Hongyi recruited the historical officer and the inner attendant, and asked them to arrange the Hajj meeting, all of them were richly rewarded, and the meritorious ones were doubled.
The entire palace was filled with a joyful atmosphere, and even Cining Palace got the news, and the first sentence of Fang's question asked the eunuch who came to report the news: "Did you give birth to a girl?" ”
The eunuch broke Fang's illusion: "Empress Dowager Qi, Concubine Xian Niangniang gave birth to a little highness, seven catties and eight taels, it is said that it was cast by immortals, and there are still traces of immortals left on her body, and the room is full of incense." The emperor is happy and rewarding the palace. ”
"Oh, it's a boy."
There was no lack of disappointment in her tone, and Mama Liu on the side couldn't help but mention: "The Queen Mother said cautiously, the emperor finally has an heir, this is the best thing." ”
Mama Liu's words, where did the Fang family not understand, but they felt sour in their hearts, the women they recommended, the emperor couldn't take a fancy to any of them, and found a Gu Banqin, and he was simply a character carved out of a mold, all of them were very strong.
If Gu Banqin gave birth to a princess in this birth, the Fang family would still feel better, but he couldn't bear Gu Banqin's good life, and gave birth to a prince in her life, even if she was not a concubine, but with the emperor's love for Gu Banqin, she would definitely love this eldest son in every way, Gu Banqin's mother would be expensive with her son, and in this harem in the future, there would be no one else to talk to.
Except for these little Jiujiu in his heart, the Fang clan had no other opinion on Gu Banqin's childbirth. Taking a deep breath, he said to Mama Liu:
"Since the emperor has rewarded it, Cining Palace can't be left behind, and if you reward it again, Concubine Xian...... The hard work is high, and you have to reward some good things. ”
When Mama Liu heard Fang's words, she immediately smiled: "Yes, the Queen Mother is right to do this." ”
Fang Shi awkwardly turned around and entered the inner hall, and went to tangle alone.
Gu Banqin woke up from her sleep, she was woken up by the cry close to her ear, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a white and tender fat doll lying in front of her.
The first thing I saw was that his eyebrows were a little red, a small hand clenched into a fist, somehow, ran out of the swaddling clothes, and was crying with all his strength, Gu Banqin struggled to prop up half of his body slightly, reached out and touched his face gently, Wen Po whispered to Gu Banqin next to him:
"Niangniang, Your Royal Highness is hungry, I fed some sugar water before, I was originally going to hold it down and let the nurse feed it, but Mrs. didn't let me, saying that I had to drink my mother's first mouthful of milk, do you want to let people come in and give you milk?"
Gu Banqin knew that she had prepared several nurses for a long time, if she could, she didn't really want to use those nurses, but she was afraid that her milk would not be enough, so she prepared them, nodded to the stable woman, and said:
"Let people in, as long as I have milk, I'll milk him myself."
Wen Po went down to pass on the people, Gu Banqin waited in the tent, half-propped up, looking at this pink Xiaobao, no matter how she looked at it, it seemed that she couldn't see enough, Xiaobao was hungry and cried non-stop.
