As the day drew closer, the joy and anticipation gradually added a little tension.

Qin Yuan returned home from the palace, and as soon as he entered the second gate, he met Qin Wei head-on.

"Ah Luan," Qin Wei asked urgently, "How is Ah Luan's spirit today?" ”

Qin Yuan said: "It's good. ”

Qin Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

The same question, Qin Yuan was asked by the eldest uncle for three days in a row.

Knowing Qin Wei's worries, she said, "Will you go into the palace tomorrow?" ”

"No, no." Qin Wei didn't think about it, and immediately refused.

In fact, he had just gone to see Qin Luan three days ago.

As a father, when his daughter is about to give birth, he can't help but encourage, let alone give advice.

On the contrary, he was worried that his nervousness would affect Ah Luan.

He is a father, different from Ah Yuan, who is his sister, he has to go into the palace every day to care, so how can Ah Luan relax his emotions?

Not only Qin Wei, but Qin Zhi was also worried.

As soon as Qin Luan entered the house, he heard his father discussing with his mother: "Go to the mountain tomorrow to ask for a lot, and ask for a talisman again?" ”

Ji was busy looking at the accounts, and when he heard this, his eyes widened and asked, "Which family's talisman can compare to what our mother drew by herself?" ”

Qin Zhi: ......

It seems like that's the case.

However, the healer does not heal himself.

Can I use the talisman I drew myself?

Seeing that Qin Zhi was entangled, Ji Shi snorted at Mama Wang, and said in a low voice: "There are many laymen!" ”

Mama Wang couldn't help but smile: "The master cares about the mother." ”

"I care too." Ji snorted.

That's it, men and women are different, she gave birth to two by herself, and she is an insider.

Childbirth, of course, is risky, and no woman dares to say that she will be successful.

However, the palace has prepared extremely experienced stable mothers and grandmothers, and there are imperial doctors who are ready, and everything is complete.

Moreover, she also went to the palace to see that the mother was pregnant safely, her body was neither thin nor fat, her complexion was ruddy, and her belly was just right.

Niangniang walks around a lot every day, and she has practiced fists and feet and strength.

No matter where you look at it, everything is ready.

Just relax and wait until the day comes.

"It's a shame that the mother is married," Ji said again, "The master is worried at home, and the mother can't see it, otherwise the ants on the hot pot are spinning one by two, and the mother has to be anxious." ”

In the palace, Qin Luan was talking to Fang Yu.

"I don't have to be afraid, but I ......," Qin Luan said softly, "Tell me, what is it like to give birth?" ”

Fang Yu pursed her lips.

Actually, Qin Luan was not afraid, she was trying to let Fang Yu recall some of the past.

Fang Yu's condition is much better, even if she touches the past, she will not suddenly get sick, but she can't remember much about the past.

Occasionally, after she remembered some of it and told Qin Luan and Zhao Fan, she forgot it again and again, but she still got better in such a repetition.

The imperial doctor also said that it would be very good for her to let her think properly.

"I can't remember," Fang Yu said, "it seems to be in pain, so painful that I don't even have the strength to scream...... However, don't be afraid, Aluan, so many people are ......"

Qin Luan nodded.

Yesterday, the same question, the queen mother remembered more.

Looking at her look today, that's all there should be.

So, Qin Luan glanced at Mama Wei beside her.

Mama Wei understood, and said busily: "Don't be afraid, the queen doesn't have to be afraid, wait for the attack......

The topic was picked up by Mama Wei.

Fang Yu didn't think about it anymore, but listened carefully to Mama Wei's explanation, and echoed it from time to time.

Autumn is strong in the rain.

Zhao Fan returned to the dormitory, and the hem of his clothes was stained with Zeng Dew.

He's very busy these days.

This past summer, Mao Gu'an attacked and continued to advance westward.

According to the plan, his advance was not fast, and it could even be said that he was steady, and finally built a pass on the Gobi Desert just in time for the first winter snow on the frontier, ensuring the passage between this place and the Xizhou City behind him.

At the same time, the southern border was also putting pressure on Nanshu, although it was a small friction, and the two armies also fought several times.

The busyness of government affairs made Zhao Fan a little tired, but when he walked into the middle palace and saw the brightly lit main hall, he suddenly relaxed again.

It's warm, it's comfortable, and it's comfortable.

Especially when I went around to the inner hall and saw the smiling Ah Luan, the fatigue of the whole day disappeared.

Tonight, Zhao Fan read a little reluctance from Qin Luan's smile.

Sitting down next to her, he asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's a little painful," Qin Luan pointed to his stomach, "Don't worry, Mama said, everything is normal." ”

Zhao Fan's head was bowed.

With Ah Luan's birth, from being noticed by Fu Ling at the beginning, to now being about to give birth, he has also learned a lot of knowledge in the past year.

Mama and the imperial doctor explained carefully, and when Qin Luan listened, Zhao Fan also listened with his ears pricked up, asking questions from time to time.

It can be said that if he talks about the woman's pregnancy now, he can talk about it all the way.

Of course, it's all on paper.

Even if it's only on paper, Zhao Fan wants to talk about it, and he is also learning all kinds before and after production.

Because this time, it can only be Ah Luan who can go into battle.

He couldn't do it himself, so he could only blow the horn and wave the flag and shout on the sidelines.

These things are easy to say, but you can go up in a daze, but it is difficult to say, the arm of the drum is strong, the breath of the horn is stable, the rhythm is accurate, and the momentum is enough, and it must be practiced for many years.

Zhao Fan is not a confused person, waving the flag and shouting, he also has to shout something.

After listening to Qin Luan's situation, he asked Mama Wei again, and after making sure that she was okay, she could be relieved for the time being.

He knows very well that with this "little pain" again and again, it will soon be time for real knives and guns.

Before dawn, Zhao Fan opened his eyes.

By his side, Qin Luan was still asleep.

Zhao Fan stretched out his hand and touched it, a thin layer of sweat on Ah Luan's forehead, he pressed it for her with a handkerchief, and got up lightly.

In the middle hall, Gonggong Gan is already waiting.

Zhao Fan changed into a dragon robe, and explained to Mama Wei in a suppressed voice: "She should be sweating painfully, she just fell asleep again, don't call her yet, let her sleep for a while." ”

Mama Wei was busy: "The slave has been watching it for the past two days." ”

"Something came immediately."

Inside the temple.

It was rare that Qin Luan slept until dawn.

There was another pain in her stomach, and she did what Mama Wei said, had breakfast, and walked back and forth for a quarter of an hour, making her more comfortable.

"The delivery room is all arranged," Mama Wei comforted, "Once it starts, it can pass immediately, you don't have to worry about ......"

"I know, this is just the beginning," Qin Luan said with a smile, "Mama taught me." ”

From the time someone starts to the time the child cries, it ends in an hour.

Some people can be in pain for two or three days, and then they will be exhausted at the end.

Qin Luan couldn't say which one she would be, but she looked down at her tall belly and said softly, "You should be reluctant to toss your mother, right?" ”

In the afternoon, Qin Luan, who was looking forward to it, had just walked on his front foot, and on his back foot, Qin Luan couldn't stand up in pain.

As soon as Mama Wei saw it, she commanded the people and helped Qin Luan into the delivery room.

Everyone was kept busy.

When Zhao Fan heard the news, he hurriedly got up, and explained to Gonggong Gan while leaving: "The rest of the excerpts will be moved to the Middle Palace, and I will go back for approval." ”

Hurried back, knowing that Qin Luan had moved to the delivery room, Zhao Fan strode in.

A few old grandmothers saw it and muttered to Father-in-law Gan: "It's not suitable, right?" ”

Gonggong Gan looked at his nose and nose and heart: "You go and tell the emperor?" ”

The old ladies waved their hands again and again.

Never mind.

What do you say?

There are a total of three masters in the palace, the emperor has such a temper, the queen did not drive people out, and the queen mother never talked about the details.

The three of them are satisfied, what are they looking for?

In the dormitory, Zhao Fanzai looked at Qin Luan carefully.

It seems that a period of pain has passed, Qin Luan is not unwell now, and he looks in good spirits.

Zhao Fanwang, who was talking on paper, heard and inquired, observed Qin Luan's condition, and checked the knowledge of Professor Mama in his heart one by one.

"What do you want to eat?" Zhao Fan asked.

When it doesn't hurt, eat something to replenish it, so that you don't have the strength to keep up.

Qin Luan knew what he meant, leaned on the pillow, thought for a while, and said, "Egg flower balls." ”

Zhao Fan raised his eyebrows.

On the Chinese New Year's Eve before the two became married, he asked Fang Tian to send a bowl to the Yongning Marquis Mansion.

That was Ah Luan's childhood memory, when she was in the mountains, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, the queen mother would cook a bowl for her.

And on Chinese New Year's Eve last year, the three of them also gathered around a table and used it together.

This is his heart's desire.

Now, he glanced at Qin Luan's belly, and there will be one more person who will use sweet soup together in the future.

Zhao Fan explained.

Soon, Father-in-law Gan came to pay tribute, saying that the Queen Mother happened to come over, and when she heard that the Queen wanted to eat, she went to the kitchen in person.

Qin Luan was happy.

Zhao Fan also smiled and said to Qin Luan: "I'll take a look." ”

In the kitchenette, Fang Yu was ready.

Seeing Zhao Fan coming, she said, "It's not a complicated thing, it'll be fine in a while." ”

Zhao Fan didn't stop her, the queen mother is now intertwined with joy and eagerness, and she has to have something to distract herself.

Fang Yu is very focused.

The balls were boiling in the pot, she was beating the eggs, the chopsticks stirred the egg mixture, and the rhythmic clicking sound was in her ears.

The balls float up, the egg wash down, and the sake is added to the ......

For a while, the aroma of wine came to the nose.

Zhao Fan said: "It's so fragrant." ”

Fang Yu did not speak.

Zhao Fan looked at her and saw that she was looking at the sweet soup in the pot for a moment, and between her eyebrows, she was a little confused.

"The Queen Mother?" He took the chopsticks from Fang Yu's hand and called softly.

Fang Yu blinked, and slowly, she looked sideways at Zhao Fan: "That day, Ah Luan asked me, what is it like to be afraid of having a child, I can't remember it, I can't answer, but now, I seem to remember a little......"

Zhao Fan's throat rolled, he held Fang Yu's arm, and said, "Then let's go over together, and the queen mother will talk to Ah Luan carefully?" ”

Fang Yu asked, "What about the sweet soup?" ”

"I'll come to Sheng," Zhao Fan didn't dare to interrupt her train of thought, and only followed, "Let's take it together." ”

In the delivery room, Qin Luan couldn't drink this bowl of sweet soup while it was hot.

She was in pain again, this time, menacingly.

Mama Wei rolled up her sleeves and said, "It seems that it is His Royal Highness who is an impatient." ”

Qin Luan couldn't cry or laugh.

Zhao Fan heard the movement, helped Fang Yu to the porch outside, and talked to the inside through the window.

Fang Yu was anxious to go in, but was stopped by Zhao Fan: "Don't let Ah Luan be distracted, she has to follow the grandmothers to breathe in and exhale, let's go in, she just pays attention to us, and she even forgets how to breathe." ”

"Yes, yes." Fang Yu nodded, and also followed Zhao Fan's example, and shouted through the window, "I'm sitting in the main hall, don't worry, don't be afraid." ”

That being said, after sitting down, Fang Yu was not steady.

She heard all kinds of voices coming from the delivery room, and it fell on her heart, and it was heavy.

Zhao Fan was also uncomfortable.

He knew that at this moment, all he needed was to be patient, or even simply to approve the folds, rather than sit empty.

He thought that his temperament was quite calm, but at this moment, he was extremely disturbed.

All kinds of pictures are surging back and forth in his mind, from the first time he met Ah Luan, to every time they met after that, his thoughts, his joy, one by one, to their wedding......

After that, he suddenly remembered Huang Yi's previous ridicule.

One moment the banquet, the next moment is the full moon wine, the days are like flowing water, the upper and lower mouths touch, and they have been in a hurry for thirty or fifty years, and they have become old husbands and wives.

These pictures were sketched out in his mind, and Zhao Fan couldn't help but laugh.

Pretty good.

He thought, isn't Huang Yi's nonsense life really good?

He couldn't wait to go through every moment of it, starting with the child's crying.

Wow –

Suddenly, the loud cry brought Zhao Fan back to his senses from his contemplation.

For a moment, he wasn't sure how much time had passed.

The movement of his body was faster than his thoughts, and he rushed out in three steps and two steps.

On the horizon, there is still the last touch of orange and red left in the sunset.

Zhao Fan glanced at it and entered the delivery room.

It is sheltered from the wind, and you can smell the blood clearly in your breath.

When Mama Wei saw him come in, she hurriedly came over and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, the mother and son are safe." ”

With a simple sentence, Zhao Fan's hanging heart completely fell.

Nothing moved him more than "peace".

Fang Yu, who came in late, was also very happy, and couldn't help wiping his eyes.

Zhao Fan walked to the side of the bed, sat down carefully, and looked at Qin Luan.

"Niangniang fell asleep after seeing His Royal Highness," Mama Wei said softly, "Your Royal Highness is crying vigorously, and she will be hugged after wiping her body." ”

Zhao Fan answered softly.

My brother packed up, wrapped in a new swaddling mattress, and was hugged by Mama Wei.

Zhao Fan has learned how to hold a child, and he also knows that paper talk needs to be implemented in the end, but this time, ......

"I was so nervous that I didn't dare to reach out and hug him." He said with a smile, relying on Mama Wei's guidance, trying to hold this little thing in his arms.

The little baby was much lighter than he had imagined.

He thought that every day after that, the child would grow up little by little, heavier, taller......

And he wants to experience every single day.

Mama Wei took the child over again and handed it to Fang Yu to see.

Zhao Fan still sat on the edge of the bed and held Qin Luan's hand.

"Ah Luan," he called softly, "I'm very happy, really happy, I'll have the egg drop balls put in the pot to be warm, and when you wake up, we'll use them together." ”

A bowl of sweet soup, mother, wife and children.

He curled his lips and smiled and landed the kiss on Ah Luan's knuckles.
