Chapter 198: Premature Birth
The delivery room that Concubine Liu Lifei chose with Xiao Jinzi is the one that Liu Yunyun saw just now that is similar to the place where the Bai girl lives, not only the entire wall is white, but even the whole marble floor looks similar to white, only the ridge is decorated with various patterns of wooden hollow carving, and even the wall looks like this, which looks simple, concise and very elegant, very distinctive.
The whole yard is almost compatible, that is, "three rooms and one wall", just five words.
Therefore, the layout of the room is simple and clear, the three main rooms opposite the wall are a square, the Ming room in the middle is a hall house, it is estimated that now the emperor and other people who accompany him are willing to wait, they are temporarily sitting in it to rest and drink tea, the rooms on the left and right sides are the places where the emperor brings all the concubines to come on weekdays, and the concubines with higher status are used as bedrooms.
The two wings of the wall are connected to the wings, forming the other two squares, the courtyard door is opened on one side of the wall, and the wall also has the function of partition wall and reflection, and the decoration is even more exquisite and detailed.
Liu Lifei chose this side of the wing, is in the courtyard on the inner side of the wall, and the surrounding wings complement each other, the blue ripples in the courtyard and the vibrant green grass take advantage of the brocade flowers that are competing to make the whole courtyard look lively and lively.
Xiao Jinzi is accompanying Concubine Liu Li's mother to do the last exercise before giving birth in this lively and vibrant yard, although Liu Lifei's fetus is not her first child, but this time the pregnancy is a little bad, Liu Lifei is also an older mother (the standard of ancient times), and it is inevitable that she will be uneasy.
"Xuan'er, you say, can you be safe? I don't know ...... emperor "Concubine Liu Lifei was dressed in a clean and soft white cotton dress, covered with a pink gown mixed with hemp silk, which looked refreshing and clean. Holding the hands of the two palace maids, he endured the contraction of the abdominal pain, walked step by step, and did not look at the little gold, but just stared at the flowers and primroses in the garden, and asked with a breath that was not too steady.
"Niangniang, you just relax, the slave has already helped you calculate, the little master of this birth, very healthy, after you are born, the little master is bigger, but it is not good to make a fuss, you have time to worry about the safety of the production now, it is better to make more psychological preparations, how to deal with this lively and active little master to be reliable." Xiao Jinzi smiled and took Concubine Liu Li's hand from a palace maid, supported her, and continued to smile: "Besides, look at the emperor, how much attention does he care about you?" The slave maid only said one sentence, your life and the life of the little master are short of gold, immediately, I will let you move to this wall house to live, there is a real dragon son to give you shelter, and there is a real dragon baby in the belly, what do you say are you worried about? ”
In psychology, this trick used by Xiao Jinzi is called diverting attention and distracting the patient's nervous and anxious emotions, which can make the patient relax the temporary tension.
Sure enough, Concubine Liu Li's mother laughed and said mischievously: "It's not, when I was in the palace, as long as I saw other colors, I wanted to vomit, and I don't know what was going on, even a few days before I came to the other courtyard, I still looked at the color except for white, no matter how I suppressed it, I couldn't suppress the feeling of wanting to vomit, but since I moved to this Zhaobi house, I have eaten and drunk well, and I don't have that feeling of wanting to vomit at all." ”
Concubine Liu smiled and smiled, suddenly "oh", labor pains suddenly came frequently, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead all of a sudden, Xiao Jinzi was startled, and hurriedly ordered: "Go and call the midwife, kite, you go to the front, inform the emperor, Qing'er, you go to check if the hot water in the kitchen is boiled, Fen'er, let's hurry up and help Concubine Li's mother back to the delivery room, quickly!" ”
Xiao Jinzi didn't know who he was talking to, so he just shouted solemnly at the gate of the courtyard, "Niangniang is going to give birth, hurry up!" ”
Concubine Liu Lifei was supported by Xiao Jinzi and Fen'er, and she didn't dare to speed up her steps, she looked at Xiao Jinzi slightly sideways and looked nervous as if she was facing a big enemy, and said with a bitter joke: "Don't worry, it's okay, I'm not nervous, tell me what are you nervous about?" ”
Xiao Jinzi helped her to walk into the house, shook her head and said: "Of course the slave is nervous, the true dragon son only shelters you, and the little master in your belly, in case the little master comes out, naughtily scratches the slave's face, but how is it good?" Alas...... Slaves should not speak ill of her before she was born. ”
Fen'er was carefully holding on the other side of Concubine Liu Li, trying not to panic because of nervousness, hearing Xiao Jinzi say this, "poof" I couldn't help laughing, and also joked: "Xuan'er, you just wait for the little master to come out, just hurry up and slap him, Niangniang won't blame you." ”
The two talked and laughed all the way, distracting Concubine Liu and relieving her nervousness.
The midwife and the imperial doctor, under the guidance of the kite, all transferred in from the outside of the delicate and elegant wall, and the experienced mothers-in-law, carrying hot water and according to Xiao Jinzi's instructions, eliminated the poisonous production utensils, and entered the delivery room in an orderly manner.
Entering the delivery room, Xiao Jinzi nodded to the people who were standing, served Concubine Liu Li wholeheartedly, simply cleaned her hands and face, regardless of everyone's surprised eyes, and helped her back and forth in the room for a few steps, until the labor pains were so frequent that she couldn't support it, then she lay down on the bed, took a towel, carefully wiped the beads of sweat on Concubine Liu Lifei's forehead, and said gently: "Niangniang, don't be nervous, the little master can't be fine, you just need to relax and let him come out by himself. The little master's brain is smart. ”
"Okay." Concubine Liu Liqiang nodded with a smile and waved her hand casually, "Go out quickly, the children's family, this meeting is not good." ”
"Niangniang doesn't have to worry about the slave maid, the slave and maid are waiting outside, if there is any situation, you just call the slave and maid in." Seeing that Concubine Liu Li nodded, Xiao Jinzi retreated.
Doctor Wang hurriedly stepped forward, checked Liu Life's pulse, and instructed the medicine boy to boil the medicine for labor induction, and prepared the ginseng tablets that may be used for a while, then got up, carefully checked the tools used for production, and saw that they were all neatly prepared, so he bowed and withdrew with Concubine Liu Li.
In ancient times, especially in the current Great Zhou Dynasty, children who are born in a hurry in less than ten months are almost frail and not easy to feed in the eyes of the world, and the mother of the child is even more dangerous.
Emperor Zhou Sheng asked the people who were waiting to retreat, and sat alone in the hall, just sitting in a daze, and after a while, someone came back, "Your Majesty, Concubine Li has entered the delivery room, and she is about to give birth, and Jin Xuan'er has also withdrawn from the house." ”
Emperor Zhou Sheng groaned for a while, and then was stunned again, and then asked, "When will Prime Minister Liu and the second child arrive?" ”
"If you go back to the emperor, you are about to enter the north gate of the other courtyard."
"Just bring them here."
"Yes."
"Wait, what about the second lady of the Liu family?" Emperor Zhou Sheng picked up the teacup, as if he remembered something, and hurriedly stopped the little eunuch who had withdrawn two steps.
The little eunuch immediately stopped his steps, quickly turned around and ran back, bowed back and said, "If you go back to the emperor, the imperial doctor just checked the pulse, and now you are still resting in the wing room on the other side of the wall." ”
"Well, in another quarter of an hour, when the Second Highness and they all arrive, I will invite the second lady of the Liu family to come over as well."
The little eunuch was stunned for a moment, but how dare he doubt the emperor's orders, and immediately took the order: "Yes, the emperor!" ”
About half a tea time later, the second prince Zhou Minhao strode forward, and Prime Minister Liu Cheng followed behind with a fine sweat, and followed the little eunuch who led the way to the hall of Zhaobi House.
The two of them stepped in and knelt down to greet the emperor.
"Get up." Emperor Zhou Sheng waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to get up.
After taking a seat, Manager Deng took people to serve tea, and silently retreated, Emperor Zhou Sheng signaled to Prime Minister Liu Cheng, "Drink tea first, Li'er is already in production, and it's useless to be anxious now." ”
Prime Minister Liu nodded, took a sip of the teacup, sighed and said, "Amitabha, I hope the mother and son are safe." ”
Zhou Minhao only said hello when he entered the room to salute, and then he kept pursing his lips and did not speak, drooping his eyelids, drinking tea, not opening his mouth, nor interjecting, silent as if he was an irrelevant companion.
Emperor Zhou Sheng glanced at this pimple-like son, raised his eyebrows, turned his gaze, looked at Prime Minister Liu Cheng, and comforted: "Don't worry, this production, I heard that Xiaojin used a new method, saying that if you are lucky, even blood will not come out. ”
Prime Minister Liu wondered, he wouldn't even get blood? How is this possible? But when Liu Yi was born, he didn't leave the delivery room for half an inch, and the basins of blood sent out really made him so scared that he couldn't straighten his legs at that time, and he really thought that his wife was going to be unable to survive.
Zhou Minhao raised his head sharply and stared at Emperor Zhou Sheng, Emperor Zhou Sheng smiled secretly in his heart, but he didn't look at him on his face, only looked at Prime Minister Liu Cheng, as if talking about homely things, and said with relief: "This second miss of the Liu family, I will come over in a while, let her introduce you to this new method, today it can be regarded as a verification, I heard, the most amazing thing is that not only do you not need to take any medicine, but even the maintenance on weekdays is mainly based on listening to people." ”
"Really?" Prime Minister Liu Cheng's eyes lit up, if he could use this method in the future, then women would not have to worry about reproduction in the future.
It's just that Prime Minister Liu Cheng inevitably slandered in his heart, it can't be any witchcraft, right? raised his head and glanced at Emperor Zhou Sheng, and saw that although there was also an anxious look in his eyes, it was only a little, and the rest were all relieved and stable, and he felt that it was unlikely, because with Emperor Zhou Sheng's habits, he would not allow anyone to use that kind of mysterious means around him.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, Second Highness, Second Miss Liu has arrived." Outside the house, the loud announcement of Chief Manager Deng sounded.
Liu Yunyun wondered in her heart, but it was not good to show it, at this time, the emperor summoned herself, but for the sake of Xiaojinzi, she used hypnotherapy to Concubine Li to counsel childbirth? Will......
Alas...... What's the use of wanting more? The little arm can't twist the thigh!
Hung his head and entered the room in a regular manner, knelt down and kowtowed to the position in the middle, and said: "The courtier Liu is Yunyun, I have seen the emperor, and the emperor is safe." ”
The emperor's laughing voice, "um", there was no follow-up.
Liu Yunyun knelt on the ground, listening to the emperor and not screaming, she was puzzled, she just listened to the voice, and she didn't get angry? What's going on? Let yourself kneel and dismount yourself? But for Mao, you want to give yourself a horse?
Before he could figure it out, his arm was pulled up by a force, Liu Yunyun was startled, and subconsciously looked up, only to see Zhou Minhao sticking to his wooden face, and when he saw himself looking up, he glanced at himself fiercely.
Be all abroad!
"Let's get up first, Prime Minister Liu is also here." Zhou Minhao saw that Liu Yunyun was stunned, and reluctantly explained.
Liu Yunyun reacted to this explanation, and immediately broke free from his pull, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to him, and said, "The courtier has seen His Royal Highness." ”
Prime Minister Liu looked at this scene in surprise, twisted his head and glanced at the emperor again, only to see Emperor Zhou Sheng looking at Zhou Minhao and Liu Yunyun with a smile on his face, without any surprise, let alone any annoyance, he sighed in his heart, it's bad, will his previous plans have made Emperor Zhou Sheng unhappy?
Prime Minister Liu Cheng didn't know that His Royal Highness Zhou Minhao fell in love with Miss Liu Er, and he didn't know that the two were familiar, and secretly instructed his daughter to have more relationships with Liu Yunyun, and in a few years, when the time was right, he would go to Liufu to propose marriage, and let Liu Yi marry Liu Yunyun, plus Liu Yi had already opened a shop with Liu Yunyun, and there was no problem with this relationship.
But who knows ......? There's even a Second Highness in the middle?!
"Hurry up." Zhou Minhao stretched out his hand again and pulled Liu Yunyun to stand up, Liu Yunyun secretly tried her best, this time Zhou Minhao was on guard and failed to let her break free.
"If you let go, I have to hurry up and salute Prime Minister Liu." Liu Yunyun was helpless, so she had to persuade in a low voice, this Zhou Minhao, sometimes comes up with that kind of energy, but he is really slow to react.
Zhou Minhao glanced at her again, Liu Yunyun didn't dare to rip off his baby son in front of Emperor Zhou Sheng, so she had to smile wryly, then pulled out her hand, walked in front of Prime Minister Liu Cheng, and curtsied.
It's good now, this relationship, needless to say, is already something that everyone knows, not to mention, there are no varieties of dementia melons in this house.
Alas...... Liu Yunyun lamented!
Emperor Zhou Sheng ordered her to sit down, Zhou Minhao had the virtue of a hen protecting the chickens, and regardless of the strange eyes of others, especially Liu Chengxiang, he forcibly pulled Liu Yunyun to sit beside him.
Emperor Zhou Sheng chuckled, "Okay, I don't know, it's like I'm bullying the daughter of Liu Shilang." ”
These words were obviously said to Zhou Minhao, who was nervous.
Prime Minister Liu also smiled, but he didn't dare to interject. Up to now, Prime Minister Liu Cheng didn't dare to speculate on the holy will, who knows what the emperor thinks, if he is wrong, it will be difficult to do.
In front of Emperor Zhou Sheng, Zhou Minhao is always "not good at words" and "rules", but the second prince who is always in order, this performance this time has obviously thrown the rules out of his mind.
Liu Yunyun is most afraid of embarrassment, she has always been like this, so she quickly broke the strange confrontation between father and son, and said with a smile: "The emperor called his courtiers to come, but it was for the sake of Xiao Jinzi's method?" ”
Emperor Zhou Sheng didn't bother to say anything more to his wooden-headed son, looked at Liu Yunyun and nodded, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the Prime Minister will worry about his baby sister, no, I called you here, hurry up, quickly explain to the Prime Minister, I can't tell him clearly." ”
Liu Yunyun laughed, "Prime Minister, you really don't need to worry, before Xiao Jinzi entered the palace, the courtiers also asked the young master of the Liu family to tell you about this, this method of the Little Gold Society, in medicine, is called 'hypnotherapy', in the United States...... Well, it's a country on the other side of the ocean, and it's already clinical...... Well, it has been used in the patient, and the effect is very good, however, the efficacy of this method also depends on the degree of cooperation of the patient, however, according to Xiao Jinzi, Concubine Li's sensibility is very good, on weekdays, Concubine Li also likes some artistic activities, such as art or something, which is good for her sensibility, so Xiao Jinzi's method should have a certain effect on Niangniang. ”
Liu Yunyun said a lot of words lightly, and the unfamiliar words in them made Liu Chengxiang sound confused, but subconsciously felt that Liu Yunyun's statement was professional and reasonable.
Afraid that he would show his cowardice in front of Emperor Zhou Sheng, and afraid that they would think that he was not even as good as a little girl, Liu Chengxiang nodded stubbornly, looking as if he understood the meaning of Liu Yunyun's words.
Emperor Zhou Sheng didn't have any concerns about Prime Minister Liu, and asked curiously, "Do you understand?" ”
Prime Minister Liu nodded with a smile, "I understand, Miss Liu Er is really a Hui Lanxin, this method is really wonderful." ”
"Oh, then I ask you, where is America? What is art? ”
Prime Minister Liu: "......"
Zhou Minhao continued: "Back to my father's words, this United States is the other side of the sea, it is said that it is very far away from our Great Zhou Dynasty, even if you take a big boat, it is also a place that you can't reach. ”
Prime Minister Liu glanced at Zhou Minhao gratefully.
Liu Yunyun snickered, this United States, it is not necessarily on the sphere where she lives now, fortunately, she has been working with Zhou Minhao for so many months, otherwise, if you let yourself explain now, you are really suspected of "bullying".
