026. Henry I (Thank you book friend 5008, Cthulhu for your support)

"Your Highness, you have to be careful with your body and pay attention to sleep."

Zoe has a pot-bellied poop while weaving a silk pyjama, a gift for Bran's triumphant return.

It is extremely difficult for women to give birth, and in this era, natural disasters, man-made disasters, and diseases are continuous.

Bran gave Jean Marlene to Zoe a waiting room, and let Zoe stay inside all day.

Marlene's son is now able to walk and jump on the ground.

"Carrion is only three years old, a three-year-old boy who looks as tall as a five-year-old boy, and obviously inherits Carroll's excellent genes."

Zoe has trouble speaking, and the female officers all learn lip and sign language.

So when she gestured, Marlene immediately replied with sign language.

"Yes, the Grand Duke said that Carrion looks very similar to Carol when he was a child, but Carol said that he hoped that future generations would no longer hold a sword, so the Grand Duke gave him this name."

Carrion, in Italian, has the meaning of polymath.

Little Carrion, with a round head, ran up and down.

One would shout, "Mom, the little bird is cute." ”

I ran for a while and fell, but I didn't cry, just giggled.

He has no impression of his father, but he also knows that everyone is good and good to him.

"You will definitely be able to give birth to the heir of the principality, and when Carrion is seven years old, let him start following His Royal Highness."

The term "childhood" does not exist among people in this era.

At the age of seven, it is considered that he already has wisdom and the ability to endure hardships, and will learn a lot.

Most of the children of the great nobles entered the heir of the monarch at this age.

Marlene has come out of her pain, and now she is the chief of the female officials, the most trusted of the Charman family, and a mother.

She wants everything better for the principality, for Carol's family.

"I hope to give birth to a boy."

Zoe touched her stomach, and not long after, several more noble ladies came.

They were all the ladies of the Earl or other nobles, who came to accompany Zoe who was about to give birth.

Now, if there is any dirty thing, it will all be on Rank's head.

The women love gossip, chatting and talking about a secret.

One woman said that when Heydrian's mother gave birth to her, she was so painful that she had her servants whip slaves outside the door and beat them to death.

Listen to their screams, overshadow their pain, and finally give birth to a child.

Hearing this story, several noble ladies looked at each other.

Zoe was suddenly a little scared, and the chat ended hastily.

The time to give birth in April is getting closer and closer.

In addition to worrying about Bran, Zoe is worried about her own child.

Bran was too busy with the war to come back.

Waiting for the days of delivery.

Zoe looked out of the house, northwest of Milan in the direction of the war.

One night, she had a stomachache.

Midwives and female doctors are busy coming in and out.

The Gaoting Palace was brightly lit, and the surrounding towns of Ratan and Rabbi were stationed, and armed soldiers were stationed and a state of martial law was issued.

Howard's great-grandson is finally about to be born.

Outside the delivery room, the eldest man stomped back and forth.

There are two little lovers beside him, one on the left and one on the right.

Brand new iron hooks and blades are also ready.

They are all tools carefully crafted by blacksmiths.

Childbirth is a life-and-death event, and if you are unlucky, it is often bad news that both mother and child are dead.

Before giving birth, Bran asked the midwife and the female doctor, what do you do in case of dystocia?

The female doctor said the blade, which is a tool for performing an open section.

The iron hook is used to clip out the dead baby, but the caesarean section can only be performed on the dead woman.

Bran asked why?

The female doctor said that the person who gives birth must endure the pain, because this is what God makes the woman bear.

Bran's scalp was numb, and he taught a lot of bad habits, and he changed them all in Milan, but he didn't expect that having a child would have such a big problem.

He despised treatments such as bloodletting and castration in this era, so he wanted to establish a new medical system.

But that's for men, and women don't know how to reform yet.

But now that he knew what was going to happen to his son, he immediately gave the order.

"All the tools must be clean that day, and the people should be the priority.

If you do your best, and do as I instruct, I will not blame you, but if you dare to follow bad habits, then I ask you to ask the Most High, whether women really have to endure such suffering."

In addition to his own children, Bran also wants to keep the children of the territory, if he is not involved in the war, I am afraid that he is already dealing with the training of new female healers, and he must find a way to reduce the number of women who die of bleeding in the territory, and improve the fertility and survival rate.

Zoe's cry was much less painful as the numbing of the mixed wine went down.

Marlene watched the whole process to prevent these female doctors and midwives from coming around.

With the cry of a baby, waw wow came from the room.

Then a female doctor came out and bowed to Howard, "Your Highness, everything is safe, and the principality has an heir from now on." ”

Male!

Little grandson!

Howard was simply out of joy.

Zoe was lying on the bed weakly, and after the baby was born, the umbilical cord was removed, wiped clean, and the skin on his body was wrinkled, and he was held by a female doctor.

Then he was picked up by Marlene and put in front of Zoe.

Looking at himself and Bran's offspring, Zoe burst into tears unconsciously.

"Child...... Child. ”

"You have a good rest, seven days after giving birth, and you should always be aware of illness."

For the next seven days, every day Marlene would take the baby to see Zoe for a while, and then send it to the baby's room.

Howard often went to see his grandson, and he asked the principality's royal astrologer to ask.

"You say, 'What do you want to call my great-grandson?'

This astrologer did the math and wanted to pick out a few auspicious ones from the genealogy of the principality's naming ancestors, and suggested that the Grand Duke should use the name Henry.

"Henry?"

"Okay, he will be Henry in the future, and there will be more little Henry in the future."

According to the law of nobility, the baby does not need to be taken care of by the mother, because the aristocratic wife must recover quickly, and then continue to give birth to her husband.

The children are taken care of by a personal servant.

They grew up drinking milk, light porridge and other foods that were not nutritious.

These were all vetoed by Howard, who had so many illegitimate children himself, even though he did not recognize them.

But when every illegitimate child is born, he takes proper care of it and tries to ensure that both mother and child are safe.

After giving birth to his Chaman bloodline, he would also give a sum of money to let the women go out and fend for themselves.

This child, Howard, is like Bran, and he has to be raised himself.

He said to the court servant, "I raised such a wonderful child as Bran, and Henry will be as good as his father in the future." ”

The day after Henry was born, Howard sent someone to the northwest to report the good news.

A new little heir to the principality was born, which also boosted morale.

Henry was born on April 17, and since May onwards, the Franks have become unsupportable.

On both sides of the confrontation, Bran began to gain the upper hand.

In this day and age, the birth of a child is always considered to affect the parents.

As soon as Henry caught up with Hershey, there was talk of his prosperous father.

For a long period of childhood, little Henry was known as the Good Luck Man.

But Bran didn't make it.

He wrote a letter back to the High Court to Zoe at the front.

"Dear Zoe, when I know that our crystallization was born, you can't imagine how happy I am,

In the letter you informed me that the day of the birth of the child was the eighteenth day of the fourth month.

That night, we repelled a wave of Frankish attacks.

A comet flashed in the sky, and many people said that it was a sign that luck was about to change,

Now I understand that this is divine revelation,

Our children bring me good luck, forgive me for not being able to return to you to be with you,

I am the father of the principality, and my children are fighting against the Franks.

Therefore, I can't leave the army and return to the High Court to accompany you only for myself,

The best gift I can give to Henry is that when he grows up,

In this battle of the Frankish invasion, I can read the scene of my father's heroic resistance to the enemy,

Take care of yourself, your husband, your lover, your everything, Bran himself. ”

When Zoe read the letter, she thought about Bran every day.

May, June, July, August, all the way to September.

The last Franks returned to the peninsula with the good news of their departure from the border.

The Milanese finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all three meals were controlled, I finally survived.
