Traveling through the harem: the favorite concubine

Chapter 43

For some reason, Ruyi felt sore in her heart, she blinked and held back her tears.

Suddenly there are many things in my heart that I want to say to the prince, but there are thousands of words, and I don't know where to start.

"Your Highness..."

Ruyi opened her mouth, and her eyes fell on the hands they were holding.

"Tell me after you give birth, okay?"

The prince's hand was like in the past, gently stroking the hair that was wet with sweat and sticking to her forehead to the back of her head, with a gentle look on her face.

Ruyi suppressed her choking, sniffed her nose, and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid..." I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future.

She didn't want to say such frustrating words, but she was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear it.

"Don't be afraid."

The prince resisted the turbulent emotions in his heart, still with a gentle expression on his face, and whispered to Ruyi: "You and the child will be safe."

He stood up abruptly, let go of Ruyi's hand, turned his back on his body, and told the waiters in the room: "Serve Mrs. Chen well, and if something happens, don't be alone!"

After saying this, the prince walked out of the room with messy steps.

The prince almost walked to the living room outside at the speed of running. He stood in the middle with a dazed expression on his face.

Just now, he was actually afraid, too scared to face it.

The prince's hand touched his chest involuntarily, and he felt a dull pain in his heart. Seeing Ruyi in such pain, he would be reluctant to part with it.

She was even afraid of facing the scene of Ruyi suffering, so she ran out.

This feeling made him feel a little scared.

As one wishes……

The prince knew that she was special to him.It is the variable in his life, and the woman he really wants to treat well, even if he doesn't think he will fall in love with her.At least, Ruyi is the most suitable woman for her, and by chance, he wants to choose the woman who will accompany him.

She has a humble background, even if she has a child, even if he favors her and promotes her to a high position, she still has to be deeply attached to him, because he gave her everything.And she took care of him through the epidemic, accompanied him in confinement, and even conceived his heir when he let himself go.

The relationship between them is not considered to be a use, but it is the most suitable.

However, just now, he discovered that besides being suitable, he also had feelings for her.

Yes, people are ruthless without vegetation.How can he not be emotional after getting along with each other day after day, and waiting by him when he is in trouble?
The prince stood stiffly on the spot, and the servants who came and went hurriedly passed by him, hurriedly saluted, and served tea carefully, but they didn't bring him back to his senses, until he heard a scream from inside the room , His heart trembled, and he heard that it was Ruyi's voice.

Almost subconsciously, his body had rushed to the door of the house.

Nanny Cao was taken aback by the prince's actions, but the next moment, she stopped the prince at the door.

"Your Highness, the delivery room is filthy, please don't come in, after all, you have to close the door.

"Nurse, wish she..."

The prince asked with a worried tone. Ruyi was in the back room, and the prince could only vaguely see that someone was helping her out of bed.

"Mrs. Chen just started to have labor pains, and it will be a long time before she is born. Now help her up and walk around so that the baby will slide down."

"How long will it take to give birth?"

The prince's voice was slightly hoarse, his fists clenched tightly on both sides.

"Madam Chen is the first child, it won't be too soon, Your Highness is waiting outside!"

After saying this, Grandma Cao closed the door.

The prince stood blankly at the door for a long time, and finally, under the persuasion of others, he went back outside and waited.

When Nanny Cao returned to the house, Ruyi had already been helped out of bed by two midwives and started walking in the house.

She is now a little numb from the pain, and her body just feels completely powerless. This feeling makes her cry even if she wants to.

After walking in two small circles, Ruyi couldn't take it any longer, she cried out with tears: "I won't go, I'm in so much pain that I have no energy left."

"Madam, take a few more steps. It's not painful now. It will be painful when you are born." One of the midwives didn't soften her heart at all after hearing Ruyi's words, and she continued to support Ruyi.

This sounded like persuasion, but Ruyi didn't feel it at all, she already felt that she was in enough pain, but people told her that it wasn't pain at all.

But at this moment, she could only pant heavily and let them manipulate her.

After finally walking enough, Ruyi was finally helped to the bed, and when she felt that her stomach didn't hurt so much, Grandma Cao brought a bowl of steaming noodles to her.

Ruyi shook her head weakly, she was in severe pain now, and she had no appetite to eat at all.She didn't want to talk either, she just wanted to lie down like this.

But Nanny Cao forced someone to help her up, picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks, and brought it to her mouth.

"Aunt Cao, I don't want to eat."

Ruyi really wants to cry, can't she just let her have a baby quietly, ask her to get out of bed, and ask her to eat.

"How can you not eat? In your situation, it will take at least several hours to start giving birth. How can you give birth if you have no strength at that time?"

After all, he stubbornly picked up the poached egg on the face and brought it to Ruyi's mouth.

Ruyi couldn't stop feeling wronged, but thinking of the child, she dared not stop eating. She almost cried and ate the big bowl of chicken noodle soup with two poached eggs.

The sky had already been brightened, and the light of the newly rising sun penetrated into the room. The candlestick that had been burning for most of the night was dripping with candle tears. There has never been a little movement coming out.

Deng Xian walked up to the prince in small steps, and said, "Your Highness, the slave will let you serve breakfast."

The prince nodded unconsciously, his eyes still looking across the room.

Deng Xian sighed slightly in his heart, stepped back in small steps, and asked someone to put the meal prepared early in the morning on the table in the hall.

The meal was set, but the crown prince didn't seem to see it. Deng Xian sighed again, but he didn't dare to go up to remind the crown prince.

At this moment, the door of the room opened suddenly, and Nanny Cao came out of the room.

The prince stood up abruptly from his seat. It seemed that his footsteps were a little staggered because he hadn't changed his position after sitting for a long time, but the prince couldn't care less. He just walked up to Grandma Cao and asked, "How is Ruyi?"

"Now I can sleep without pain!"

Grandma Cao was tossed all night, and now she looked a little embarrassed, with a heavy tired face on her face, but seeing the prince's appearance, she thought it was the first time the prince was a father, so she couldn't help comforting her: "Don't worry too , the midwife has seen it just now, Mrs. Chen's fetal position is right, it should not be difficult to give birth."

After saying this, Grandma Cao looked at the untouched breakfast on the table, and said to the prince: "Your Highness, if you have something to deal with after breakfast, when the baby is about to be born here, the servant will let you Your Highness was notified."

Grandma Cao said that the cloud is clear and the wind is calm, but the prince is dumbfounded.

Ruyi actually fell asleep, obviously the pain just now was severe.

"Mrs. Chen is inexperienced in giving birth to her first child, so she gets nervous when it hurts, that's why she feels the pain is unbearable."

Nanny Cao explained to the prince in a low voice, while on the other side, Deng Xian, who had just listened to the report from the people below, walked to the prince and said to the prince, "Your Highness, we are all waiting in the outer courtyard, you..."

"Your Highness, go if you have something to do!" Seeing this, Grandma Cao said.

Although it is hard for this woman to give birth, it is good to have a husband to accompany her, but at this moment, Mrs. Chen is not really going to give birth, and she is about to give birth. Come to accompany a woman to have a baby.

The prince nodded, took a few mouthfuls of breakfast, and then came to the outer courtyard. However, although the prince's people went out, almost everyone felt that the prince was absent-minded.

This side had just said a few words, suddenly a servant ran up to Deng Xian in the noisy noise at the door, and said to Deng Xian: "Eunuch Deng, Madam is giving birth."

Before Deng Xian hesitated whether to go in and report, the crown prince hurried out of the room and asked Deng Xian, "Is it going to give birth?"

"Yes."

As soon as Deng Xian finished speaking, there was no one in front of him.

In fact, Ruyi just closed her eyes for a while. First, under the guidance of the midwife and Nanny Cao, she slowly adjusted her emotions. She also felt that the pain was not particularly painful, and she felt a little numb after eating. After that, she listened to the words and rested obediently. However, before she fell asleep for a long time, she felt that the throbbing pain in her stomach was getting worse and worse, and the pain was so painful that she could hardly breathe.

At this time, she finally realized how much fuss she had made before, and the previous pain was nothing compared to the current pain.

And this feeling is getting more and more painful, and her scalp is almost numb due to the pain.

She wanted to cry, but couldn't cry.

The midwife standing by was very experienced, and immediately knew that Ruyi was about to give birth.

The people below began to get busy in an orderly manner, only Ruyi and Shaoyao who were guarding her, one was in pain and couldn't think, the other was in a panic.

When Grandma Cao came back, Ruyi's cervix had been opened and she was ready to give birth.

Ruyi tightly bit the cloth strip stuffed in her mouth given by the midwife, crying bitterly.

Although Nanny Cao had given birth to a child before, she also said she was calm and calm when she comforted the prince, but now she was a little panicked when she saw Ruyi's appearance. : "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Ruyi felt that she had never been in such pain when she was in a car accident in her previous life. She couldn't describe the feeling that it was almost killing her.Like a fish thrown on the shore, she opened her mouth, opened and closed, panting for breath.

From morning to afternoon, she didn't know how long it had been. When she felt that her body was about to run out of strength, and when she couldn't even say that she didn't want to have a baby, the pain in her body suddenly disappeared.

She also fainted out of strength.

"It's a boy!"

The midwife smiled and cleaned up the baby's body, wrapped it in swaddling clothes, and smiled at Nanny Cao who was almost limp.
