Chapter 678 Giving birth
Nanny Wang and Nanny Wei, who were sitting on a small stool doing needlework, stood up in surprise and asked, "Is the princess giving birth?"

None of them had ever given birth to a child, so they asked Chou'er to go to the backyard and call the midwife.

Last month, two experienced midwives moved into Zixia Hospital.

The midwife ran over and said, "The princess is about to give birth. Hurry to the delivery room in the backyard."

The delivery room is located in the north room of the east wing of the backyard.

Nanny Wei helped Xun Xiang to the backyard and asked someone to notify the eldest lady.

The midwife looked at Xun Xiang's lower body and said, "Don't be afraid, Princess. It's still early for delivery. You can't lie down all the time. Get up and walk around when it stops hurting." She then said to Nanny Wang, "Have someone prepare some food for the Princess. Only when she's full will she have the strength to give birth."

In the room, two midwives were in charge of the delivery, while Nanny Wei stayed behind to take care of Xun Xiang.

Xun Xiang knew that childbirth was dangerous in ancient times, so she put a gourd of ginseng in a green purse, so that she could have someone feed it to her if she had any accidents. She also cut two slices of the best ginseng and put them in a red purse, so that she could eat ginseng if she had heavy bleeding.

The red purse was given to Nanny Wei for safekeeping, and the green purse was placed in the bedroom cabinet.

If the delivery goes smoothly, those two treasures should be saved for when they are most needed.

Xun Xiang was not nervous, but she was in great pain. This body was rather delicate and could not stand the pain, and when the pain came she screamed "ouch ouch", and she could not bear it even if she wanted to.

Madam Sun Da and Madam Sun San both rushed over. They could not enter the delivery room, so they waited in the east wing.

Madam Sun comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Xiangxiang, giving birth is always like this."

Having said this, he still paced back and forth in the room nervously, and asked someone to notify Madam Ding and the Queen.

More than an hour later, Zhang, Ding Liren, Xue Tian and Eunuch An arrived.

Ding Liren and Eunuch An were too embarrassed to come to the backyard, so they waited for news in the main room.

Ren Zixuan and Mi Honglan are pregnant, so it is not appropriate to invite them to this occasion.

Hearing Zhang's gentle voice, Xun Xiang finally felt at ease.

She said coquettishly, "Mom, it hurts."

Zhang said, "Thinking about how the child will look like when he is born will make you feel better. That's what mother did in the beginning..."

“I thought about it, but it still hurts…”

It was getting dark, and Ding Zhao, Ding Lichun and Xun Yi Bo, who had just left the government office, rushed over again.

Ding Lichun and Xun Yi Bo went to the main house, and Ding Zhao shamelessly went to the backyard.

He was too embarrassed to go into the house, so he stood outside the porch window waiting.

Hearing Xun Xiang's screams, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. He comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Xiang Xiang. Daddy is here with you."

The sound has the sound of crying.

He also brought the magic medicine with him, and if his daughter was in danger, he would give her the magic medicine.

My daughter said that Master Mingjue gave her three magic medicines in total, one for her father, one for Lichun, and now she has it in her hands.

There is one left for Yu Mu to take away, and my daughter probably has no more.

The contractions became more frequent and more painful. Xun Xiang's screams became more and more shrill. Tears and sweat flowed. The fragrance wafted through the room, becoming stronger and stronger.

The two midwives kept sniffing.

When they delivered babies before, the smell in the delivery room was either the smell of blood, the smell of amniotic fluid, or the smell of sweat. But this time it was completely different. The whole room was filled with fragrance, as if they were in a flourishing garden...

It is said that Princess Xiangxiang is the reincarnation of the flower god, it is true!
What a blessing it is to be able to deliver a baby for the flower god...

It was snowing outside, and the red lanterns were fluttering in the wind. More and more birds gathered in the backyard, the timid ones were circling in the sky, the bolder ones were flying outside the window, and two were standing on Ding Zhao's shoulders...

This scene not only attracted Aunt Yang, but also Old Marquis Sun, Marquis Sun, and Third Marquis Sun, who were too embarrassed to come before. They watched this surprising scene together with Ding Lichun and his brothers and Eunuch An in the side wing.

The servants of Zixia Courtyard and some respected servants in the mansion stood in the courtyard and watched.

Xun Xiang was in so much pain that she lost her mind. In the strong fragrance, she seemed to see another world.

There, the moonlight is as silver as silver, the sky is full of stars, illuminating the green mountains and green waters.

Suddenly, fire snakes spewed out from the forest and exploded, and the sky and the earth became brighter...

Then he saw many cannons hidden in the woods. Next to a cannon stood several Dali soldiers, one of whom was Sun Yumu.

He was wearing a hat woven with leaves and had a serious expression on his face. He picked up a monocular and looked ahead, while talking to someone next to him.

After not seeing each other for half a year, his delicate and handsome facial features had become much tougher, as if carved by a knife, and the light imprinted on his face was sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

At this moment, he was no longer the noble and lazy nobleman, nor was he the cold and introverted imperial guard, but a great general with awe-inspiring, calm and domineering manner.

The war had changed him.

"With Mu..."

Xun Xiang called out softly.

A midwife shouted, "Princess, the cervix is ​​already dilated, the baby is moving, come on, push hard..."

Xun Xiang felt excruciating pain in her stomach and lower body. She screamed, "Ah..."

Then her stomach loosened and she heard a baby crying.

A midwife shouted, "It's born, it's born. Congratulations, princess, it's a boy."

The sound was heard outside, causing cheers.

In the living room, Madam Sun San congratulated Madam Sun Da and Zhang.

"Congratulations, sister-in-law, congratulations to Madam Ding. Wife Mu and you had a smooth birth, giving birth to such a big fat boy in just over four hours."

Madam Sun and Zhang wiped their tears with handkerchiefs in excitement.

A midwife shouted again, "My baby weighs 15 pounds, and is white and plump."

The midwife washed the baby, wrapped it in a red blanket, and carried it to Xun Xiang first, "Princess, look at the boy, he is so handsome."

Xun Xiang turned her head and saw that the child had stopped crying. He was looking at somewhere with his clear eyes and licking his little mouth. He looked very cute.

Xun Xiang's eyes were filled with tears. "Son, mother just dreamed about father."

Doctor Sun's anxious voice came from outside, "Hurry up and bring my eldest grandson out for me to see."

Nanny Wei took the child and carried him to the living room.

Madam Sun held him in her arms and said with a smile, "Jie'er is so handsome, he looks like Mu'er and Xiangxiang."

Lord Sun has already chosen a name. If it is a boy, he will be called Sun Weijie. Wei is the child's generation name, hoping for frequent good news.

The old marquis had previously named the child Wei Kai, which means triumph.

Xun Xiang was unwilling. Ancient people liked to call little boys "Ge'er", and Kai Ge'er reminded her of a face in her previous life.

She specifically sought out the old marquis, hoping that he would choose a new name.

If it was someone else, the old man would definitely scold them. But he was so pleased with his granddaughter-in-law that he couldn't bear to scold her, and happily gave her a new name, Sun Weijie.

Zhang smiled and said, "Yes, the upper half looks like son-in-law, and the lower half looks like Xiangxiang."

Seeing that Madam Sun had no intention of giving the child to her, she stretched out her hand and said, "Let me hold my grandson too."
