Chapter 155 I'm afraid I'm about to give birth

The rumor could not be stopped this time, so on the night when the incident ended, Meng Qingcheng sent someone to send me a letter, asking if I could help.

After reading the letter, I wanted to tell Meng Qingcheng that the matter was over and I didn't need his help.

But after thinking about it, he wrote another list and handed it to Meng Qingcheng.

After Meng Qingcheng was Chu Lin, who also heard about this incident and knew that his visit had caused me trouble, so he also sent a letter to apologize to me, and told me that Mingqi had agreed to let him go out. .

However, the release location is not the Nanyi mentioned earlier, but another southern town far from the capital.

In the letter, Chu Lin also told me that he should have come to apologize to me in person, but because he was worried that it would cause me trouble again, he could only write a letter.

I didn't reply to Chu Lin's letter. I just asked the person who delivered the letter to Chu Lin to tell Chu Lin that I owed him this once. After this time, we will not owe each other any more.

Chu Lin didn't reply to the letter after that, even on the fifth day after he sent me the letter, he left for the field.

After that, life was easy, and it entered October in the blink of an eye, and the day I expected to give birth was getting closer and closer.

And since my estimated date of birth is getting closer and closer, Yanfu Palace has gradually become tense and cautious day by day. The three of Ayunqihe and Fangxi will never be by my side at the same time. If I am busy, I will always keep at least one person by my side, more often two or three.

And I don’t know if it’s influenced by Qihe and the others. Recently, even Mingqi, except for going to the court or having to meet the courtiers in the imperial study, spends most of the time staying with me in my Yanfu Palace, and even gets the memorial. Yanfu Palace came to review.

The first time I had labor pains was in the early morning of October [-]th. At that time, Mingqi had just left for the morning court. I was still sleeping at that time, but when I fell asleep, I felt a pain in my stomach. He was woken up immediately after that.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Qihe was guarding me in the bedroom at that time, she called me immediately after waking up from the pain, and at the same time raised her hand to wipe the sweat off my brow.

"It hurts." I replied after Qihe's words, my eyebrows were tightly wrinkled because of the severe pain, and my hands unconsciously wanted to touch my stomach.

"Pain? Master, do you have a stomachache? Is it a labor pain?" And Qihe asked me anxiously as soon as he heard me say that he was in pain.

"En." I nodded with difficulty when I heard the words, and bit my lips tightly with my teeth, trying to reduce the pain.

Although Qi He was anxious, he was usually a prudent person, so after confirming that I was in labor pain, he said to me: "I'm afraid I'm about to give birth, master, bear with me first, and this servant will call someone now." Then he yelled out loudly.

Fangxi and Ayun stayed in Yanfu Palace all the time when they wanted to come. They rushed in immediately after hearing Qihe's cry. After hearing Qihe say that I was going to give birth, they immediately got busy: a To prepare the things I want to produce, one to call the midwife that Mingqi had prepared before.I even heard Fang Xi calling An Fulai, telling him to go to the imperial hospital to call the imperial doctor and send a message to Mingqi.

After that, there was a lot of chaos, and I couldn't bear it because the labor pains became more and more severe each time.

So when the midwife came over, I was already drenched with sweat from the pain, and I was also groggy.

"Ms. Concubine Shu can't do this. I need someone to prepare some food right away so that Concubine Shu can eat to replenish her strength. Otherwise, after the labor pains are over and the labor really starts, Madam Shu will lose her strength." Fainted In the middle of the day, I seem to have heard the midwife say this to her and the others.

"Okay." After the midwife said this, I don't know whether it was Qi He who answered, or Fang Xi or A Yun.After hearing this answer, I heard a voice calling Dongchun, asking Dongchun to prepare some food for me immediately as the midwife said.

"In addition, find some ginseng slices, and after the concubine Shu eats and recovers her strength, let the concubine Shu hold it in her mouth during delivery. This will help the concubine Shu maintain her strength and spirit at any time."

"Okay, I'll get it right away."

Breakfast was prepared early in the morning, so after the midwife's words, Dongchun quickly brought in the breakfast, and then Qihe sat on the bed again, helped me sit up from the bed, and let me lean against her body.

"Master, Dongchun has brought something here, you can eat something." Qihe spoke to me behind me after he helped me up.

And although my stomach hurts badly and I don't have much appetite, I still heard the midwife's words in a daze, and knew that I must eat now, so after Qihe's words fell, I nodded with difficulty: "Okay .”

At this time, I was already extremely tired from the pain, so the words I spoke would naturally not be loud.

But even so, Qihe still heard it.

So as soon as I finished answering, Qihe immediately asked Dongchun to feed me.

"No." Dongchun also replied after Qihe's words.

And after Dongchun's answer, I felt something being handed to my mouth, and at the same time there was Dongchun's voice talking to me: "Your Majesty, it's not hot anymore, you can eat it at ease."

I didn't answer Dongchun's words this time, but after Dongchun's words, I opened my mouth and swallowed the food Dongchun gave me with difficulty.

After that, as the midwife said, after eating what Dongchun fed me, although my stomach still hurts badly, my strength recovered a lot, and I also had the strength to open my eyes, and I was no longer as dizzy as before. Drowsy, but much more awake.

"Master, how do you feel?" Qihe asked me immediately after I opened my eyes.

"It's much better." I replied after hearing the words, and then listened to the midwife's persuasion to stop talking, but to save my strength and wait for the next delivery.

"That's good." Qi He replied after my words.

And after Qihe finished speaking, the midwife at the side stretched out her hand to feel around my stomach, as if she was groping for the condition of the fetus in the womb.

"Mrs. Li, how is the fetus in the lord's womb?" Qihe immediately asked the midwife when she started her hands, with obvious worries in his words.

"The fetal position of the baby in Concubine Shu's womb is a little bit wrong, but it's not serious. After a while, the servant will help Concubine Shu push and push the baby in Concubine Shu's belly." The midwife replied after Qihe's words.

"That's it, Mrs. Li, I'm sorry." Qihe said after hearing the words.

"Aunt Qi He is too polite. It is a lifetime honor for me to be able to help Concubine Shu deliver the baby." The midwife replied in fear after Qi He's words.

Qihe didn't answer the midwife's words this time, but after the midwife said this, she asked Qihe to help me to lie down again.

And after I lay down, she massaged my stomach as she said before.

This midwife named Li Po was found by Mingqi outside the palace. It is said that she has delivered babies to many noble wives and has a lot of experience.

In fact, just like the rumors, Granny Li's massage skills are really good, because after she started massage, although my stomach hurts more than before, I can clearly feel that the position of the baby in my stomach seems to be changing.

And about half a quarter of an hour later, after Granny Li said yes, the baby in my stomach was pushed to the best delivery position with her head down and feet up, and I also felt that the pain in my stomach seemed to be worse than before. Lighten up.

"Based on the current situation, Concubine Shu may start giving birth within half an hour at most. Aunt He, please give Concubine Shu something to eat." After the massage, the midwife said to He.

Qihe would listen to the midwife when he heard the words. After a while, I ate the food brought in winter and spring again with difficulty.

After that, Fang Xi and A Yun came back after being busy before, but they didn't come in because the midwife said that there should not be too many people in the delivery room.

On the other hand, Mingqi, perhaps because he was in the morning court, hadn't heard him coming.

After that, about half an hour passed, and the interval between the two labor pains became shorter and shorter. When the interval between the last two labor pains did not exceed half an hour, the midwife stretched out her hand and pressed on my stomach. Then I went to the other side and lifted the sheets on my lower body to look at it, and then said: "Aunt Qihe, the birth canal is almost done, and Empress Concubine Shu is about to give birth."

And as if to confirm what the midwife said, almost as soon as she said this, my stomach immediately started to hurt violently, and then I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach.

Anyone who has given birth knows that giving birth is a long and tormenting process, especially when the pain is terribly painful, but you still have to use your strength as the midwife said.

Fortunately, I had a midwife to help push the baby in my womb, and I paid more attention during the pregnancy, so although the pain and suffering were terrible, after a long time, I gave birth to the baby smoothly. down.

"Congratulations, Concubine Shu, congratulations, Concubine Shu, you have given birth to a prince." After the child was born, the midwife quickly washed the blood on the child, and then reported to me and said to me happily.

And because my production was relatively smooth, and because I had been sucking ginseng slices before, although I was very tired at the moment, I was not so tired that I would faint.

So when the midwife brought the baby in front of me, I was so happy for a moment, I opened my mouth several times, and finally said: "There is a reward."

"Concubine Xie Shu." The midwife smiled happily once she heard my words.

"Qihe, let Ayun and Fangxi come in to take care of me, and you and Granny Li take the baby out to announce the good news." After the midwife answered, I said to her again.

It's just that Qihe didn't know what was going on. I called her several times in a row but she didn't see her answer. I saw her staring at me blankly. In the end, it was the midwife who gave her a push before she came back to her senses. Come.

"Ah? No." Qi He was stunned for a moment after recovering, and then nodded to me at the prompt of the midwife.

When I saw Qihe like this, I naturally frowned in displeasure immediately, but because I knew she was not Fangxie, I would not easily lose my mind at critical moments like this, so I guessed that she must have a reason.

And because it's not the time to ask questions, she and the midwife took the baby out without asking anything.
