happy match

This year's New Year is actually more lively than previous years.There are waves of people who come to visit the door every day to pay New Year's greetings, and they never stop at all.

However, all of this has nothing to do with Ye Qinglan.She is a happy and laid-back pregnant woman.There is no need to do anything every day, as long as you take good care of your body and wait for the birth with peace of mind.

Strange to say, I thought it would happen at any time, but after the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, my stomach didn't move for a long time.

Now that she is nearly nine months pregnant, her hands and feet are a little swollen, her face is plump, and her stomach hasn't grown much.This is also the result of Ye Qinglan deliberately controlling her diet.If the child in the belly is too big, it will be more difficult during delivery.So in the past month or so, she deliberately ate less and stopped all supplements.

She herself is very leisurely, but everyone around her is very nervous.The maids and midwives were watching closely all the time, Mrs. Zheng had to personally interrogate her twice a day, let alone Gu Xinian.He couldn't refuse all the entertainment, and he didn't even eat in the canteen of the government office at noon, and he rode back every day.I am afraid that Ye Qinglan will give birth at any time...

Ye Qinglan felt both heartwarming and funny: "You can be on duty with peace of mind, don't run to the mansion every day. Even if you have an attack, it's impossible to have it in a short while. When the time comes, someone will send you a letter, and you can come back soon." Not too late."

Gu Xinian agreed with his lips, but his actions remained the same.Ye Qinglan had no choice but to let him go.

On the 28th day of the first lunar month, Ye Qinglan's stomach finally started to attack.

It was a dull pain at first, and then bursts of throbbing pain.The midwives had already prepared and got busy immediately.Two of them helped Ye Qinglan into the delivery room.The other prepared clean gauze, scissors, towels and other things, while Mrs. Zhao directed the maids to prepare hot water and so on.

Mrs. Zheng got the news.Without thinking about it, he put down what he was doing and rushed to Izumoxuan immediately.Gu Xiyu was one step ahead of her.

Gu Xiyu was fussing about entering the delivery room to accompany Ye Qinglan.She was stopped by Mrs. Zhao, with a smile on her face: "...my dear miss, you can just wait outside. This delivery room is not the place for you to go in..."

Gu Xiyu looked angry: "Why can you all go in, but I can't go in?"

Mrs. Zhao couldn't explain it in too much detail, she just said vaguely: "The delivery room is full of blood, Miss, it's better not to go in..."

During the commotion, Mrs. Zheng came in a hurry.Gu Xiyu immediately went up to greet her, and complained extremely aggrieved: "Mother, I want to go into the delivery room to see my sister-in-law. But she just won't let me in."

Mrs. Zheng didn't have the heart to pester her at the moment, she said casually: "I'll go in and have a look, you just wait outside."

Gu Xiyu's stubbornness, which was rare in a century, came up again: "No, I want to go in too."

Mrs. Zheng was both angry and funny: "What nonsense! What are you doing in the delivery room with a girl who hasn't left the court?"

Gu Xiyu replied straightforwardly: "Why can't a girl who has not left the court enter the delivery room. I still have to enter today."

Come on, I really convinced her!Mrs. Zheng said angrily: "I have something to say first, you can only go in and stay for a while. When Qinglan really gives birth, you will come out immediately."

Gu Xiyu immediately nodded obediently, and then entered the delivery room with Mrs. Zheng.

Mrs. Zheng is a person who has been here, so it is not surprising to see Ye Qinglan's pale face and sweaty head.Gu Xiyu was taken aback.Hurrying to the side of the bed, she asked nervously in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter with you?"

Ye Qinglan had just survived a wave of labor pains, and opened her eyes with difficulty.Forced to squeeze out a smile: "Why did you come in, giving birth will be a little painful, you don't have to worry."

Although Gu Xiyu simply doesn't understand the world.But it can also be seen that Ye Qinglan is definitely more than "a little hurt" at this time.For a moment, she didn't know what to say to comfort Ye Qinglan, so she took a warm towel from the old woman's hand.Gently wiped off the sweat for Ye Qinglan.

Ye Qinglan's heart warmed, and she was about to force a smile.The death throes came again.The smile that hadn't had time to fully unfold suddenly turned into slightly distorted forbearance and pain, and broken moans overflowed from his mouth.

People who have never experienced childbirth can never imagine what kind of pain it is.The tormented person couldn't breathe with the overwhelming pain.After finally getting through it and wanting to breathe a sigh of relief, another wave of more violent pain followed, just like a huge wave hitting the shore, and each wave was more violent than the last.

And that's just the beginning.It is said that this kind of pain will last until the birth of the child, and it will even become more and more painful after that.

Beads of sweat covered Ye Qinglan's forehead and face, and even her back was covered with sweat.Gu Xiyu kept wiping it for her, but before she wiped it off completely, beads of sweat came out again.

A spoon filled with ginseng soup was brought to her mouth: "Come on, drink some. Childbirth is the most energy-consuming and energy-intensive, so you must drink more ginseng soup." It was Mrs. Zheng's concerned voice.

Ye Qinglan subconsciously opened her mouth and drank the ginseng soup.

Mrs. Zheng hurriedly scooped up another spoonful and brought it to her mouth, comforting her softly: "It's like this when giving birth to a baby. After these few hours, everything will be fine when the baby is born. Doctor Qin is outside. You can rest assured that nothing will happen. I have already sent someone to deliver a letter to Xi Nian, and he will be back in an hour at most. Just bear with me..."

Ye Qinglan didn't have the strength to speak, so she could only grudgingly hum.Then he swallowed the ginseng soup one mouthful at a time.

The ginseng used to make the ginseng soup is the ginseng sent by Changyuan Bofu.The century-old ginseng is really extraordinary, after only drinking half a bowl of ginseng soup, Ye Qinglan felt that her whole body regained strength.Just as the labor pains passed, Ye Qinglan opened her eyes and comforted Mrs. Zheng's mother and daughter in a low voice: "Don't worry, I can hold on."

"Don't talk, save some strength." Mrs. Zheng urged earnestly: "This is just the beginning, and I don't know how long it will take. You have to continue drinking the ginseng soup."

Ye Qinglan responded, then drank the ginseng soup.After drinking a bowl of ginseng soup, most of his strength has recovered.

This resting time was not too long, and after about a cup of tea, the labor pains started again.

……

Because the amniotic fluid has not yet broken, and it is not yet time to give birth, the midwives are not very busy.It was just watching from the side, and occasionally rubbing Ye Qinglan's stomach to relieve the pain.Seeing the anxious faces of Mrs. Zheng and Gu Xiyu, the midwives exchanged knowing smiles and thought in unison in their hearts: Although the young mistress came from a humble background, she is really favored in this Duke Ding's mansion!

Generally speaking, when the daughter-in-law gives birth, the mother-in-law just sends someone to say hello, and just do whatever she wants with the rest of the time, just wait for the good news.Those who are considerate will also go outside the delivery room for a while.But I have never heard of people who come to the delivery room to take care of their daughter-in-law in person like now.There is also Ms. Gu, who has been wiping her sweat anxiously and worriedly...

Several braziers in the delivery room were burning vigorously. Although the weather outside was cold and windy, the delivery room was very warm.The thick curtain blocked all the cold air, and the suppressed and forbearable groans could be faintly heard outside the door.

The door curtain was lifted suddenly, a figure flashed in quickly, and shouted anxiously: "Lan'er!"

The midwives were startled.Mrs. Zhao subconsciously went up to stop her: "My lord, this is absolutely unacceptable. The delivery room is the most filthy and bloody place, and men are not allowed to enter the delivery room..." The rest of the voice disappeared in Gu Xinian's impatient and cold eyes inside.

"Get out of the way!" Gu Xinian didn't have the time to say more, and only spit out two words.

Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to step aside obediently, amazed inwardly.I have never seen a husband enter the delivery room to accompany his wife to give birth. Today is really an eye-opener.

Mrs. Zheng was also taken aback when she saw Gu Xinian coming in, and was about to say something, but seeing Gu Xinian's anxious look, she couldn't say a word.Gu Xiyu originally occupied the seat closest to Ye Qinglan, seeing that Gu Xiyu was coming, she tactfully gave up her seat.

Gu Xinian didn't care about anyone's thoughts, he sat by the bed, his voice was low and urgent: "Lan'er, I'm back, don't be afraid, I will always be with you until our child is born."

A familiar voice came into her ears, and Ye Qinglan opened her eyes with the strength she didn't know where.The familiar handsome face immediately came into view, and the worry and anxiety in the eyes were undoubtedly revealed.

"Why did you enter the delivery room?" Ye Qinglan's voice was weak: "It's unlucky for a man to enter the delivery room, you should wait outside..."

In fact, it has long been proven that it is a bad habit for men not to enter the delivery room.When a child is born in modern times, it is common for the husband to accompany his wife in the delivery room.But this is ancient times after all, even if Gu Xinian doesn't care about it himself, he still has to care about other people's eyes.

Gu Xinian held Ye Qinglan's hand, and gently stopped her from speaking: "Don't waste your energy talking to me, I'm not going anywhere, I'll just stay here with you. I want to watch the birth of our child with my own eyes."

Ye Qinglan really didn't have the extra strength to speak, and a burst of unprecedented pain hit her body, as if being torn apart.Immediately afterwards, streams of greasy liquid rushed out of the body.

"The amniotic fluid is broken! Young Mistress is about to give birth!" Mrs. Zhao's voice suddenly became high-pitched.Generally speaking, the risk of having a first child is always greater.There are also some mothers who can't give birth to a child after a whole day.For example, Ye Qinglan's amniotic fluid broke after only two or three hours, which is already very smooth.

The other midwives also looked happy and hurriedly surrounded them.One rhythmically pressed the stomach, and the other quickly brought over the prepared delivery tools. As for Mrs. Zhao, who had the most experience in delivering babies, she was naturally the best candidate to deliver the baby.

Gu Xinian didn't watch their movements, but squeezed Ye Qinglan's hand tightly.This warm and strong hand kept Ye Qinglan awake despite the boundless pain. (To be continued..)
