Nagato has such a slim waist

Chapter 576 Mother and child are safe
The climate is cold in winter, with raindrops mixed in with the rain. The entire Andu City is shrouded in a thin layer of mist, as if a fairyland has arrived.

When Ye Chuang entered the palace, Pei Jue was in Qianyuan Hall, preparing for the morning court session.

After receiving the news, he had no time to change his clothes. He asked someone to notify Puyang Li, then he rode out of the palace at full speed in the howling cold wind...

Feng Yun was meticulous in her work. She had prepared a midwife and a wet nurse long ago. They had moved into her yard as maids half a month ago.

But today is still ten days away from the due date Yao Ru predicted, and no one expected the child to be impatient and come so soon...

The midwife was dug out of the warm bed and rushed to Feng Yun's room without even having time to wash up.

They are all experienced old people, they rolled up their sleeves and gave orders with confidence.

The weather was gloomy and the light in the house was not very good.

The contractions became more and more intense. Feng Yun bit her lower lip, which turned slightly pale. Her forehead was gradually soaked with cold sweat, but she did not utter a word. The restraint and tenacity on her face not only made Xiaoman feel heartbroken, but even the two experienced midwives could not bear it.

How can a woman give birth to a child without screaming?
They consoled her, "My dear wife, if you feel any pain, just scream out. Screaming out will help you feel better."

"Don't try to hold it in. How can our delicate and soft bodies withstand such a hard resistance?"

"My hands have delivered dozens or even hundreds of babies, too many to count. Which woman didn't cry out loud? This is the first time I've seen someone as silent as you."

Feng Yun shook her head slightly and tightly grasped the quilt beneath her.

The light reflected on her face, her brows were furrowed and her veins were exposed.

Her voice was shaking as she had a strong contraction.

"It's okay. I can handle it."

They would never know what she had been through.

Compared to what I suffered in the Qi Palace in my previous life... today's pain of childbirth is actually nothing.

"My lady, His Majesty has arrived."

Hearing the report from outside the curtain, Feng Yun was slightly startled.

She didn't expect Pei Cong to come so quickly...

"Hel me up quickly."

"Oh my, why are you still getting up?" The midwife quickly held her down, "Hurry, lie down, don't waste your energy."

Grandma Han also hurriedly said: "This is a filthy place, your majesty cannot be allowed to enter."

It is an established rule that men are not allowed to enter the delivery room or watch women giving birth.

Although Feng Yun felt that the so-called "unlucky", "unlucky" and "unclean" things should not be taken seriously, he recognized one point -

Men coming in would be of no help but would only cause more trouble and make those working in the house nervous.

Pei Jue has been in power for a long time and has great power. Who wouldn't be afraid of him?
She endured the pain and frowned, "Xiao Man, listen to grandma."

Xiaoman responded and went out.

Pei Jue came in through the main gate, dressed in court robes, looking very majestic. When he rode his horse from Huaxi, he knelt on the ground on the road.

No one stopped Nagato from the guards to the inner courtyard.

From the time the capital was moved to the present day, these people have never seen the emperor step into Changmen.

He suddenly barged in with people, scaring everyone.

The outer court was not aware of what was happening in the inner court.

The emperor's solemn expression and Ye Chuang's cold look made everyone so nervous that they dared not utter a word. When the emperor walked over, they all asked what had happened inside and why it was kept secret.
The atmosphere inside and outside the courtyard was tense.

Just as Pei Cong was about to draw the curtain to go into the inner room, he was stopped by Xiaoman.

"Your Majesty, please sit here..."

Pei Jue frowned when he didn't hear Feng Yun's voice.

"How is Yunniang?"

Xiaoman glanced back at the door and said truthfully in a low voice, "The midwife said that the delivery date has not yet arrived and the baby has suddenly gone into labor. I'm afraid you're going to suffer..."

Pei Jue's face darkened.

He had never seen a woman give birth, but he had heard about the pain she endured.

Back then, when the eldest sister gave birth to Zuo and You, the fetuses were in an abnormal position and they were twins. She was in pain for a whole day and night, and her cries could be heard throughout the whole house.

He still remembered how Ao Zheng knelt on the ground with his hands clasped together and prayed non-stop when he heard the midwife say that the child might not be born...

How painful must Yunniang be feeling at this moment?
His eyes moistened a little, "I'll go see her."

"Your Majesty, please don't..." Xiaoman bowed to him awkwardly, blocked his way, and said weakly: "The blood and energy in the delivery room are gathering, which may pollute your Majesty's holy body. In order to avoid disrupting the order of heaven and earth and making it more difficult for my wife to give birth, please rest outside for a while..."

Pei Jue never believed in those supernatural things.

But Xiaoman's words, "This will go against the order of heaven and earth and add to the difficulty of my wife's childbirth," made him unable to move his feet.

What can he do when he goes in?
It won't help Yunniang at all, it will only cause trouble.

He nodded heavily.
-
Busy inside and outside.

The midwife and the maids came in and out of the room.

The strong smell of blood seemed to rush out from the roof. But Feng Yun didn't even shout out loud except for a few suppressed groans occasionally.

Pei Cong paced back and forth outside the house with his hands behind his back. Time passed too slowly...

A quarter of an hour seemed like a year.

He finally couldn't help but call Xiaoman.

"Why can't I hear Yunniang's voice? Is there anything wrong?"

Xiaoman looked at the anxiety and worry on the emperor's face, and said distressedly: "My wife said she can bear it."

Pei Jue looked at the falling curtain quietly and slowly tightened his fingers.

It is said that the pain of childbirth is like cutting flesh and splitting bones.

She said she could bear it...

Yunniang risked her life to give birth to a child for him, and as a father, he should do something more.

Pei Jue thought for a moment, turned around and walked out of the courtyard, calling Zuo Zhong to his side.

"You go and do something right now."

Zuo Zhong bowed his head and saluted, "Yes. Your Majesty, please give your orders."

Pei Cong motioned for him to come closer.

Zuo Zhong was slightly startled after hearing this, "Yes."
-
The news of Nagato's accident quickly spread throughout Andu.

At first, people thought that the emperor's wife Feng Shierniang, who had been under house arrest for a long time, was depressed and had some serious illness. Otherwise, Changmen would not have been so guarded and not a single word of wind could get through.

Many people were racking their brains and sending people to find out what had happened.

However, outside Changmen were not only Feng Yun's troops and guard camp, but also the imperial guards.

The tense atmosphere made some people excited again.

They suspected that Feng Shierniang from Changmen was going to rebel, so His Majesty sent troops to suppress it...

There are different opinions.

Strange rumors were spreading.

It was not until noon that definite news came out.

The lady from Nagato gave birth...

It's a little prince.

Weight 6.8 jin, mother and child are safe.

Your Majesty will suspend court for three days for this purpose.

This news was unexpected.

No one knew when Feng Shi'er Niang became pregnant with the dragon seed, so how come she gave birth suddenly?
"Your Majesty has kept it a secret well."

The civil and military officials, who had inexplicably been given three extra days of vacation, took off their court robes and hurriedly told their wives to prepare gifts.

Some are happy and some are sad.

For some people, the birth of a prince was a huge joyous event, and they simply said that God had a good vision and did not let Emperor Yong die without an heir... People like Ao Zheng were probably like this, and they were very happy and prepared to submit a memorial to congratulate him.

There are also some people who wanted to use the "Feng family has no children" to suppress Changmen. Now that their hopes have been dashed, they are inevitably distraught and are trying to create more trouble, hoping to make the birth of this prince be labeled as "unclear"...

Feng Yun woke up drowsily and saw a figure sitting beside the couch. He ignored the pain in his body, opened his mouth dryly, and asked:
"Where's the child...where's my child?"

Her voice was low and hoarse, and a little nervous.

This pregnancy was not a big deal. From the onset to the birth, it took less than an hour. Compared to the initial birth, this child was born very smoothly...

He is a good child who knows how to care for his mother.

It’s just that Feng Yun was too sleepy.

After hearing the midwife say that it was a "prince", he was so tired that he fell asleep.

"The child is asleep. The nurse is taking care of him. Don't worry."

Pei Cong saw her wake up and look for the child. He felt a little sad and held her hand, "Does it hurt?"

It would have been better if she didn't mention it. As soon as she mentioned it, Feng Yun felt as if her body was falling apart. The more she paid attention to it, the more unbearable the pain became.

She said, "It hurts."

Pei Jue was heartbroken: "Yun Niang, thank you."

Feng Yun's lips curled up slightly: "Why are you so polite? The child is not just yours."

Pei Jue stroked her cheek, his fingers moving slowly. The emotions that filled his heart were difficult to describe in words... He was touched, grateful, and he wanted to bring all the best things in the world to her.

"Yun Niang, I owe you a lot."

Feng Yun smiled slightly, thought for a moment and said, "After the child is born, this matter can no longer be concealed. There will inevitably be some comments in the court. How will Your Majesty deal with it?"

Pei Cong looked at her eyes.

Having just experienced the pain of childbirth, she was obviously haggard, but the calmness emanating from her brows and eyes was extraordinary.

Pei Cong sighed.

"Take good care of yourself and don't worry about it. Let men handle this kind of thing."
