Chapter 525 The Crown Princess Asks for Help

Half an hour later, Grandma Xu's maid sent Mrs. Min out of the mansion, and someone came to Jicheng Hall to announce the good news that Grandma Xu was pregnant for one month.

The eldest lady hurriedly sent someone to Rong En Hall to report to the old matriarch, and she went to visit the nephew and daughter-in-law herself. The second wife, who is a mother-in-law, is not at home, so she has to worry more about it on a daily basis.

Gan sat on the bed to rest, her face was full of shyness in the congratulations of the girls and women. The fetus was unstable in the first three months. Although Dr. Min said that she was in good condition, since the diagnosis was pregnant, how dare the girls let her go? Going to the field, she didn't even want her to worry about the housework of preparing for the New Year, so Gu Chan volunteered to take over the errands from her sister-in-law.

Seeing the eldest lady coming, everyone hurriedly invited seats and served refreshments, and the room was full of laughter.

The eldest lady sat in front of Gan's bed to share her pregnancy experience with her, and was chatting happily. After learning the news, the third lady came to congratulate her, and then the old lady's congratulatory gift was also delivered. The women in the room were talking and laughing happily, and it was almost the same. After an incense stick, the eldest lady and the third lady bid farewell and went back together.

Back in Jicheng Hall, the eldest lady was chatting with Pang's mother about the happy event of having a baby in the mansion next year, the girl hurried in to announce that someone from the East Palace came.

On such an important day in Laba, the East Palace even sent people out, and the eldest lady dared not neglect. Mama Pang asked the guest to enter the carriage through the side door, and hurriedly went to the courtyard gate of Jicheng Hall to greet her.

Not long after, a young eunuch and a 20-year-old maidservant, the only two of them walked into the main room with Pang's mother, and saluted the eldest lady.

The eldest lady didn't recognize the young eunuch, but she felt somewhat familiar with the palace maid.

"You girl, I seem to have seen you before, did you come with the princess?"

"Exactly, the maidservant is Lixiang, the dowry girl of the Crown Princess, who has come to the residence with the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess during the years."

"Oh, it's no wonder, you two are easy going today, could it be that the princess has something to do?" The eldest lady immediately understood that of the two in front of her, only this girl is the right one, and the little eunuch is just leading people out.

"Ma'am, to tell you the truth, this servant is here to ask Bai Kou to take care of something."

"Looking for Bai Kou?" The eldest lady winked at her girl, and someone went out immediately, "I just remembered, this year's winter hunting, the princess did not come."

"Exactly, our princess is pregnant, and it has been six months now."

"Oh! This is a good thing. Why haven't I heard of it? This is the third child of the Crown Princess. Congratulations."

"It's true that the princess has been in a bad mood since she was pregnant, so except for a small range of relatives, she didn't announce it to the outside world. She just wanted to wait for a safe delivery before talking about it."

"What's the matter? Even the imperial physician has nothing to do, and you still want to ask Bai Kou for advice?"

"Since the princess was pregnant, she has been suffering from all kinds of pain, but it is not caused by a disease, it is caused by pregnancy. The dietary prescriptions prescribed by the food doctor are not very effective. Later, I heard from the doctor Wen of the imperial hospital that Bai Kou is good at following The prescription writes the menu, and Miss Gu Hui in the house recovered under her care."

"It's true. Our Gu Hui was treated by Imperial Physician Min. Bai Kou really put in a lot of effort for Gu Hui's diet. Since the East Palace sent you out, it can be seen that the situation of the Crown Princess is really not optimistic."

"The pregnancy situation this time is worse than the previous two. Last night, I woke up from the pain and cried for half a night. The prince has been with me and hasn't had a good rest."

"Hey, although it's normal for pregnant women to have leg cramps and bone pain, it's obviously more serious for the Crown Princess. The Crown Prince can take care of her wholeheartedly. The couple really love each other."

While speaking, there was a sound from outside the door, and then Bai Kou lifted the curtain and came in, first took a look at the guests from the East Palace, and then went to the Da Furen to salute.

"Bai Kou, I have an urgent errand for you now."

"Madam please give me instructions."

"The princess is now pregnant with her third child, and she is now six months old, but her whole body hurts badly. She woke up from the pain last night. Although it is normal for pregnant women to have pain, her current condition is worse than that of the first two babies. Sometimes it's even more serious, and the prescriptions of food and medicine are no longer effective."

After hearing what the eldest lady said, Bai Kou's eyes widened, a little dazed.

"Officer Bai, I brought those prescriptions with me, would you like to have a look?" Lixiang said as she was about to take something out of her small bag.

"Never mind, since the princess was pregnant, she seldom ate shrimp skins made of sea prawns, right?" Bai Kou blinked, regained her senses, and lightly pressed Lixiang's hand that was about to turn over the bag.

"Shrimp skin? Isn't this a condiment? It can't be used as a daily ingredient. There are so many dishes in the palace. When you are not pregnant, you don't eat shrimp skin every day."

"But for pregnant women, this is an indispensable daily food." The symptom of the princess is a typical calcium deficiency during pregnancy. In this age without calcium tablets, only shrimp skin is the best source of supplementation.

"Is that so? But even the food doctors don't know."

"It's normal for food doctors to not know. The capital city is not near the sea. How can pregnant women eat more seafood? How many doctors born and raised in coastal areas have the opportunity to work as imperial physicians in imperial hospitals?" Bai Kou said lightly. smiled.

"As long as you eat shrimp skin, it won't hurt anymore?"

"Take it every day and take it as medicine. Pain in pregnant women is a common symptom, but it is not a normal situation. It means that the food that pregnant women eat is not enough for two people. If the pain is severe, it means that the deficiency is serious. Does the princess have leg cramps in the middle of the night? Calf Pain? Pelvic pain? Loose teeth or even bleeding? Anyway, it’s back pain, there’s no comfortable place all over the body, and because of the unbearable pain, I’m more lazy to walk around, and I don’t want to go outside to bask in the sun?”

"Yes, yes, yes, that's right, it's as if you saw it with your own eyes."

"It's a good thing you came to me, otherwise the Crown Princess might not be able to give birth safely."

"Will it be so serious?"

"The princess did not recuperate well before she got pregnant. Maybe the loss caused by the first two babies has not been made up, so it exploded in the third baby. In fact, it is very simple. Ten months of pregnancy depends on The mother's flesh and blood support the growth of the fetus, and the fetus absorbs a large amount of nutrients from the mother's body, but the mother does not receive supplements from the outside world, so she loses money at both ends, and in the end only dies. Let me ask, is the Crown Princess honored this year?"

Lixiang choked up for a moment, took out a towel and wiped her eyes. She entered the palace as a dowry with her own young lady, so she naturally knew the cruel survival struggle in the palace. She will also give birth to her own son, the son born to the two concubines, the one with the care of the biological mother will naturally be able to sit on the position of the crown prince more securely, and the one without the biological mother, who knows in the process of growing up What unexpected happens.
