Harem for a living

Chapter 100

"Niang Niang, what's wrong with you?" Chen Manrou was sitting on the couch watching the slap on the moon when she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach, her face turned pale in an instant, and she couldn't help crying out in pain.Looking up at Yueyue, she was so startled that she threw the net in her hand on the ground, and hurried over to help her, screaming for the imperial doctor.

Chen Manrou was prepared in her heart, knowing that she was about to give birth, she had already planned the day, except for greetings, but she didn't even take a step out of the door, so she was waiting for today.Sensing the heat coming out of her lower abdomen, Chen Manrou first stopped Xiangyue in a deep voice: "Don't panic, maybe the child is about to come out, you stop the cup and go to the kitchen to boil hot water, and ask Aunt Bai and Jinhuan to come and serve me, you Go get me something to eat."

Nodding to Yue repeatedly, he didn't dare to leave Chen Manrou's side first, so he stood in the room and called Jinhuan and Beiting in.Although Aunt Bai had never given birth to a child, she saw that someone else had given birth, and she said when she entered the door: "Your Majesty, do you have good ginseng here? Your Majesty's body is in severe pain right now? Can you stand up? If you can, take advantage of this Before the midwife comes, let’s walk around a few times.”

Chen Manrou's face was pale, and she gritted her teeth and nodded. The pain in her abdomen is not particularly intensive at the moment, and she can still walk more after only a little bit.Originally, she was the first child, if she didn't do all the preparatory work well, she might suffer from the boss later.

Aunt Bai and Jin Huan supported her alone, Xiao Xizi and Xiao Lezi had already been sent to invite midwives and imperial doctors, Manager Ming was sitting outside, Xiao Chengzi went to report to the queen, Xiao Laizi went to report to the emperor, Xiao Dingzi went to the Empress Dowager Ci'an.

The rest are busy preparing other things.The delivery room had been prepared a long time ago. It was originally planned to use the Dongshao Room. I thought that the Dongshao Room was used as a bathroom, and I couldn’t take a bath during the confinement period, so I simply requisitioned the Dongshao Room.

Later, Aunt Bai said that the room at the eastern end had been used for bathing for many years, so the humidity inside must be heavy. If she had confinement there, she might have other problems later on.Chen Manrou had no choice but to have the East Side Hall cleaned up. The afternoon sun shone in and it was warm.

After about two sticks of incense, all the midwives came over, a total of four people.Duiyue came out of the kitchen, served tea and water for several midwives herself, and carefully smelled their bodies, and made sure that there was nothing wrong with them before letting them into the delivery room.

When Doctor Li and Doctor Cheng rushed over, Chen Manrou had already followed into the delivery room.

Although Chen Manrou felt severe labor pains, there was still some time before the delivery, and it happened that Xiangyue's pheasant soup was also stewed, so she hurriedly brought it in for Chen Manrou to drink.Not long after, the emperor and queen came together, and the queen mother also followed.

Concubine Liu, Concubine Hu and others also rushed over, and the whole courtyard waited outside for Chen Manrou to give birth.

The midwife checked it carefully, then shook her head and said, "Concubine Hui, the birth canal has only been opened two fingers, can you get up and walk again?"

Chen Manrou's head was covered with sweat, and then she got up and walked around for more than one lap. After only one lap, her stomach suddenly fell down. The midwife nurse quickly helped her to the bed, and then began to deliver the baby.Chen Manrou held back her strength and pressed on. In fact, this mother also has a knack for giving birth. If she breathes correctly, the pain will be reduced.

Chen Manrou was lucky, she glanced at this statement a few times in her previous life, now recalling it, and adjusted her breathing accordingly, it really felt a little better.

Just like that, I didn't give birth for a while.From afternoon to night, the Empress Dowager Ci'an had already started to discuss with the queen outside: "Concubine Hui is the first child, and it will definitely take a lot of time. Your Majesty, you have been busy with government affairs all day, so there is no need to wait here all the time." , why don't you go back and rest."

The queen nodded with a gentle smile: "The queen mother is right. Besides, the concubine is waiting here. Once there is good news, she will be the first to tell the emperor. The emperor doesn't have to worry. The queen mother is also getting old. If it is because of Hui The imperial concubine has suffered a severe illness after giving birth, and the emperor will inevitably get angry too, why don't the empress dowager go back to rest first?"

Before the emperor could speak, the queen mother said with a smile: "The queen cares about me, an old woman, so I am naturally happy, but my son is not rich, and the child in Concubine Hui's womb, the old woman is also very concerned about it, so I'd better wait and see. "

The implication of this is to accuse the queen of being unworthy, and the queen is not easy to dismiss, so she just smiled and said: "Concubine Hui probably has something to wait for, but the third prince may not be able to wait, the third prince is not in good health, and has always been Only get close to the Empress Dowager, if the Empress Dowager does not go back tonight..."

The Empress Dowager Ci'an frowned, thought for a while, and felt that it was really meaningless for her to stay here. Although she was anxious to know if Concubine Hui could give birth to a prince, her Ci'an Palace had already raised a little prince, and it was impossible to raise another prince. The second one, so the third prince is more important.

Thinking about it, she was about to take advantage of the situation and promise to go back when she heard the midwife inside shout: "Quick, quick, the baby is out."

Chen Manrou tried her best to hold her last breath, and gave birth to the baby in her belly. One midwife came to cut the umbilical cord, one came to clean her of lochia, and the other came to take away the baby with the cut umbilical cord. Turning around and slapping him to spit out the filth in his mouth, the other rushed to the window and shouted: "Empress Hui gave birth to a little prince, both mother and child are safe!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud crying sound from inside, that voice was full of energy, and one could tell it was a healthy person.

The emperor, who had no time to leave outside, immediately showed a smile on his face: "Good! Good! Good! Reward!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." The Empress felt a little sour, but hurriedly congratulated the Emperor. The Empress Dowager was also overjoyed, smiling from ear to ear, and kept saying that she wanted to see her little grandson.Concubine Liu and others beside him also came to congratulate the emperor.

The midwife inside washed the baby, wrapped it up, and sent it outside for the emperor and the empress dowager to watch. The newborn baby was crumpled and red. Being well-informed, I was not surprised by such a child, and said solemnly that the eyes were like the emperor, the mouth was like the emperor, and the emperor was in a better mood, so he personally picked up the child and hugged it for a while.

Doctor Li entered the delivery room, and took Chen Manrou's pulse through the screen. He only said that Chen Manrou was exhausted after giving birth, and there was nothing serious about it.It was easier for the imperial doctor Cheng to feel the pulse of the little prince, and only said that the little prince was in good health.

The emperor was even more happy, and the two imperial physicians both received a lot of rewards.

"Zitong, are you ready for the nanny and the attendants?" After teasing the younger son for a while, the emperor turned around and asked, and the queen nodded with a smile: "It's a little late for the emperor to ask now, grandma." The nanny was found three months ago, and all the serving maids have already been sent to Zhongcui Palace."

This is to prevent premature birth, so the nurses and maids are all prepared three months in advance.

The emperor nodded with a smile, and returned the child to the midwife: "Hurry up and send it back, it's a bit cold outside right now, so don't freeze my son."

After watching the children, these people should leave.Duoyue and Jinhuan wrapped a big red envelope for the midwife, plus the reward from the emperor, these people were quite satisfied and left.

Chen Manrou slept until dawn, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she asked first, "Where's the child?"

"It's right next door. Madam, why don't you drink the soup now? The servant has been up all night, so it's just right for me to enter." Dui Yue was not in a hurry to let the nanny bring the child in, and just brought the bowl to Chen Manrou's body. forward.

Jinhuan and Cup stopped to help her to sit up halfway, and Xiangyue fed her soup with a spoon.Anxious to see the child, Chen Manrou simply raised her hand to take the bowl by herself, and drank it straight away: "Okay, finished drinking, bring the child here and let me have a look."

Feeling helpless to Yue, she got up and went to the next door to call the nanny, and Jin Huan took a towel to wipe Chen Manrou's face and hands.

"This is my son?" Chen Manrou looked at the red-skinned monkey placed beside her by the nanny, and wanted to poke her hand, but she didn't dare to do so, for fear that marks would be left on the skin, which would turn the unattractive child into a mess. more ugly.

"Mother, it's always like this when babies are just born, and they can open on the day of the third day." The nanny saw what Chen Manrou meant, and said quickly: "The little prince is in excellent health, he drank clean water twice last night, After removing the filth, I can eat milk today."

"You haven't fed him yet?" Chen Manrou immediately regained her spirits, and the nurse said yes.Chen Manrou nodded with a smile: "You have taken care of the little prince all night, now go to sleep for a while, when the little prince wakes up, I will call you."

These nannies were all investigated by the Chen family, and their husband's and natal families were basically controlled by the Chen family, so they were not worried that these people would do anything.

"Yue, tell me, what will this child look like in the future?" After driving away the nanny, Chen Manrou turned her head to ask Yueyue, and smiled happily and said, "It goes without saying, he must be as handsome as the emperor." Chic!"

Looking up, seeing Chen Manrou's unfriendly expression, she quickly added: "Of course, it is said that my nephew is like an uncle, but it may be as gentle and refined as the young master, like a pine and cypress, or like the young master, who is made of jade and gold. "

Chen Manrou curled her lips, lowered her head and continued to observe her son.It's such a little thing, it has grown in my stomach for a full ten months, flesh and blood connected by blood. With one click, he can fight people desperately.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and the Emperor and Queen have sent rewards, and the slaves have all been put in the warehouse. But, do you want to take out two bolts of cloth to make clothes for the little prince?" Chen Manrou shook the cup while she stopped. Shaking his head: "I don't need it for now, I'll talk about it after I'm out of confinement."

"By the way, how much does my son weigh?" Chen Manrou suddenly thought of this matter, and asked quickly, and responded to Yue with a smile: "Madam, the little prince is very strong, he was just born last night and weighed six catties and nine pounds." Double."

Chen Manrou nodded, it was similar to what she thought, if she was too big, she would definitely have dystocia, but if she was too young, the child would not look so healthy.
