On the eighth day of November, Su Yueling's amniotic water broke and she was sent to the delivery room. On this day, the first snow of this winter fell in the capital, which was covered in white and beautiful.
The princess's residence had already made arrangements, and everything was in order. Aunt Zheng also sent someone to inform Yuan Suijun of this matter as soon as possible.
Yuan Suijun rushed back from the Yamen immediately. He had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery on the road, and his mind was filled with Su Yueling's things.
In the delivery room, Su Yueling kept cursing. Although Su Yueling exchanged painkillers from the system, giving birth itself was a very uncomfortable experience.
She regretted it, she shouldn't have gotten pregnant in the first place.
Su Yueling was so angry that she kept scolding Yuan Suijun. If it weren't for him, how could she have gotten pregnant?
The most annoying thing is that when she was scolding, Yuan Suijun was not by her side, and the scolding was not enough.
The midwives were almost sweating. They were worried that Su Yueling would use all her strength to curse. If something went wrong during the delivery, none of them would be able to escape.
However, because Su Yueling had redeemed her skills before, even if it was her first child, it was still quite smooth.
As soon as Yuan Suijun arrived in the courtyard, he heard the cry of a baby.
His body swayed, and if Ah Wu hadn't supported him immediately, he would have fallen down.
The child was born successfully, and after confirming You Ning's physical condition from the system, Su Yueling let herself fall asleep with confidence - giving birth was too tiring, and running a marathon in her previous life was not so tiring.
The newly born little princess was held by Grandma Zheng and placed in swaddling clothes. She was born weighing five pounds and six taels.
Yuan Suijun ignored everything and walked directly into the delivery room.
The faces of the nuns inside changed greatly, "Master, don't come in! The delivery room is a filthy place!"
They haven't even had time to clean up yet.
Yuan Suijun turned a deaf ear. Unless he saw Su Yueling's condition with his own eyes, he would not be able to truly feel at ease.
After confirming from the imperial doctor that Su Yueling fell asleep due to exhaustion, Yuan Suijun let out a long sigh of relief, but the clothes inside were soaked with sweat.
The journey back could be said to be the most painful time for him. At that time, his mind was filled with possible accidents, and the fear of loss followed him closely, followed by deep regret.
Yueling's body has always been delicate, and giving birth is still too dangerous for her.
If he loses her because of the child, then everything he has will lose its meaning. Yueling should not have been pregnant from the beginning.
"Suijun, look, this child looks so much like you and Yueling."
Su Liao was in the capital during this period, planning to wait for her son to get married before returning. In her opinion, Yue Ling was very lucky to marry Sui Jun. The men she knew always took care of the children first when they had children.
Looking at his wife again, Suijun was different. He could only see her as his niece.
Yuan Suijun came back to his senses and his eyes fell on the baby wrapped in red swaddling clothes.
Newborn children are all red-skinned and wrinkled... Yuan Suijun couldn't tell how this child looked like him or Yueling.
His hand touched the child's cheek - the child's skin was incredibly soft.
He said: "The whole government will reward you with half a year's monthly payment."
The servants around me all looked happy celebrating the New Year.
After saying this, his eyes fell on Doctor Zheng, "When will Yueling wake up?"
Doctor Zheng was feeling stressed when he looked at her like this.
"Madam will be able to wake up tomorrow at the latest. She is just too tired."
The maids and nuns were preparing to send Su Yueling to a clean room nearby. No matter how tidy the delivery room was, there was still a bit of blood smell, so it was not suitable for confinement.
"Let me do it."
Yuan Suijun stepped forward and hugged Su Yueling, his movements were very gentle, as if he was holding something fragile.
Su Yueling was gently placed on the new mattress by him. She lay quietly on the bed, her face as pale as a piece of paper. Yuan Suijun actually did not dare to touch her face.
Aunt Zheng said in a low voice: "Master, you are tired from the journey. You should go and rest first. We will take care of the princess. The imperial doctor said that the princess is fine and she can just take a nap."
Yuan Suijun said in a deep voice: "No, if I am tired, I will just rest on the couch."
"You go take care of You Ning."
Aunt Zheng thought for a while, and finally left Aunt Zhang and Sheng Nan to wait here.
The little princess has just been born, and she really needs people around her.
As soon as Grandma Zheng came out, she was pulled aside by Su Liao who looked nervous.
Su Liao's low voice was full of anxiety, "Yue Ling gave birth to a daughter, are you unhappy? I haven't even seen him smile."
It was obvious that Suijun was looking forward to this daughter before.
Aunt Zheng guessed the master's thoughts to some extent. She explained: "The lady is unconscious. The master is worried about her condition and has no time to care. It's not that he doesn't like the princess."
The master has written several stories for the little master before, how could he not like them?
Master...he just values his wife more.
Su Liao suddenly realized that this was the reason. She was originally worried that Suijun would not want a daughter, but just now she couldn't help but worry about Yueling and her daughter.
She patted her chest, finally feeling relieved.
She said: "I will also go and guard You Ning."
As a father, he can't take care of this for a while, so naturally she, as an elder, has to put more thought into it.
…
Yuan Suijun kept guarding Su Yueling, and in the process he drank some porridge to cushion his stomach.
Looking at his wife lying quietly, Yuan Suijun silently made a decision. He spread out his paper and pen and wrote down a prescription - this was the sterilization medicine prescribed by the witch doctor of Di State before. He always has a photographic memory.
This prescription has always been kept in my mind.
Yuan Suijun had previously shown this prescription to the imperial physician, who also said that the medicine would not harm the body.
Yuan Suijun didn't want to see the woman he loved going on to have children, and he didn't want to experience this powerless feeling again.
In this case, let's solve this problem from the source. From the fact that Battle couldn't find an antidote despite all his efforts, we know that this prescription is very effective.
He shouldn't be too greedy. In the beginning, he just wanted Yue Ling to stay by his side. Now that he has a daughter, it is already an extra gift.
There is no need for other children between him and Yueling.
After Yuan Suijun wrote the prescription, he called Awu and asked him to go to the city to find a doctor to get the medicine.
Ah Wu didn't understand why he needed to go out to buy medicine when the most indispensable thing in the house was medicinal materials.
Yuan Suijun said calmly: "I am using this medicine to use on others. I don't want others to know about it. When you go to get the medicine, don't reveal your identity."
Ah Wu suddenly understood. He nodded and went out quietly. It didn't take long before the matter was settled properly.
After the medicine was obtained, Yuan Suijun had someone boil it, telling others that it was a tonic, and then drank the medicine in one gulp.
