Four hundred and fourteenth chapter childbirth (a)
Two hours later, the emperor's personal guards changed their shifts.
Shen You walked to the canteen with brisk steps. As soon as he sat down and before the food was in his mouth, Shen Jia hurried over, with uncontrollable joy in his eyes: "Fourth brother, hurry up, hurry up, go and ask for leave. Leave the palace. Half an hour ago, Cui Zhai sent someone to the palace to deliver a message. Shaojun's cousin had already suffered from abdominal pain and was helped into the delivery room. "
"You have been working as an errand around the emperor, so I couldn't tell you the news. The messenger told me first..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen You was seen rushing out as fast as the wind.
Shen Jia can understand his brother's eagerness, joy and impatient mood. He was the same when his precious daughter was born!
The joy in Shen You's heart seemed to overflow from his chest. He ignored the rules of walking slowly and steadily in the palace and walked quickly outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The emperor's personal guards who had just changed their shift were a little surprised when they saw Shen You coming: "Didn't Commander Shen go on a mission? Why are you here again?"
"That's right! Look, Commander Shen is actually smiling!"
It is indeed a rare thing for Shen You to have a smile.
The guards did not want to make any big moves, they just looked at the excitement with their brows and eyes.
Shen You suppressed his excitement and said in a deep voice to the chamberlain guarding the Hall of Supreme Harmony: "Please tell me that Shen You has something urgent and needs to see the emperor."
The chamberlain hurriedly responded and went in to pass the news. Within a moment, Shen You entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Why should Shen You open his mouth? Emperor Qing'an glanced over and saw Shen You's eyes shining with joy, and he knew what was going on: "Ms. Feng is in labor?"
Shen You looked happy, cupped his hands and said, "Yes. I came here specifically to ask for leave, and I will leave the palace and go back."
Emperor Qing'an nodded slightly: "I grant you five days' leave, go ahead!"
Shen You thanked the emperor for his kindness and quickly turned around and left.
A smile flashed in Emperor Qing'an's eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he was in a good mood. He glanced at Eunuch Yang beside him.
Eunuch Yang was filled with joy and laughed in a low voice: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, for talking too much. Commander Shen has made meritorious service many times, and now that he is expecting a child, Your Majesty should reward him generously."
This apparent reason is enough to explain to everyone. Considering Feng Shaojun’s contribution, no reward can be too generous.
Emperor Qing'an smiled and said, "It's up to you to handle this matter."
Eunuch Yang accepted the order with a smile. When he stood up, he looked in the direction of Cui Zhai, silently hoping that Feng Shaojun's pregnancy would be safe and smooth.
…
"Young lady, try harder, take a deep breath, and exhale harder."
"Yes, that's it. The cervix has been opened and the baby's head can already be seen. It will be born soon."
The midwife kept soothing in her ears.
There was a tearing pain in the lower body.
Feng Shaojun gritted his teeth, without making a sound of pain, and exerted his strength silently. He had been suffering from the pain for an unknown amount of time, when suddenly there was a sharp pain, and then his lower body relaxed.
The baby is finally out!
Feng Shaojun closed his eyes and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
The midwife slapped the baby's little butt neatly.
Wow wow wow! A loud cry sounded.
"Congratulations, young mistress, on giving birth to a little boy." The midwife announced the good news in Feng Shaojun's ear.
What a brat! Feng Shaojun was so exhausted and weak from the pain for several hours that he barely opened his eyes. The midwife held the newborn baby boy in front of Feng Shaojun.
So ugly.
This was Feng Shaojun’s feeling when he saw his son for the first time.
It was really ugly. Her little face was red, her eyes hadn't opened yet, she was crying at the top of her lungs, and her little mouth was deformed by crying.
"Like a monkey." Feng Shaojun muttered.
After working so hard to conceive for so long, I was born with this little thing in front of me.
The midwife was so amused that she laughed: "The baby is like this when he is just born. After a few days, the red marks from the fetus will fade away, and the eyebrows will open up, and he will look better."
Feng Shaojun hummed.
The midwife smiled and said: "Young lady, close your eyes and go to sleep! I will hold the young master and go out to announce the good news!"
Feng Shaojun closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
Mrs. Xu, who had been waiting outside the delivery room for half a day, burst into tears the moment she saw the baby.
Mrs. Feng arrived an hour ago. When she saw the baby boy, she was so happy that she couldn't stop talking about it. She took the baby from the midwife's hands and praised her nonstop: "Look at this baby, how well it was born. His facial features are also beautiful." He is very handsome. He looks just like Shiro when he was born."
Mrs. Xu quickly wiped away her tears and came over to look after the child together.
How does he look like Shen You? He clearly looks like Feng Shaojun!
"They all say that a son is like a mother." Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "I think this is true."
Feng Shaojun was Da Feng's biological niece. Da Feng loved Feng Shaojun equally and immediately changed her mind: "That's right, she is more like Shaojun."
Cui Yuanhan and Mrs. Song looked at each other and smiled.
Giving birth to a son or a daughter is a happy event. However, it is always more joyful to have a child for the first time.
After Mrs. Feng and Ms. Xu had seen the child, it was Tong's turn. Lei Xiaoxue's belly was already swollen and it was inconvenient to hold the child, so she smiled and leaned over to look at it.
Finally, Cui Yuanhan hugged his nephew and said, "Come, call uncle."
Everyone was amused.
A newborn baby will never be called uncle, it will just cry non-stop!
"This boy cries loudly." Da Feng said with a smile: "Hurry up and call the wet nurse."
When wealthy families raise children, they all have wet nurses, and very few of them feed their children themselves. After Feng Shaojun became pregnant, Mrs. Feng specially found two wet nurses, and they fed them well on weekdays. At this time, they were just in time It comes in handy.
The baby boy was carried out by the wet nurse and his crying suddenly stopped. It was obvious that he had already eaten.
"Why hasn't Shiro come back yet?" Da Feng glanced outside.
Xu responded with a smile: "It takes half a day to go to the palace from here. Anyway, the child is born safely, which is a great joy. I will go in to see Shaojun now."
As soon as he finished speaking, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, a slender man's figure rushed in.
It's Shen You who's back!
Shen You rode back all the way, with some beads of sweat on his forehead, a strange flush on his handsome face, and his eyes shining.
Da Feng and Xu said in unison: "Silang came back just in time. Shaojun has already given birth to a son."
Should I go see my son first or go see Feng Shaojun first?
For Shen You, this is not a multiple-choice question at all.
Shen You went to the delivery room without hesitation. Naturally, Mrs. Xu couldn't compete with her grandson-in-law, so she had to wait outside the delivery room.
In the delivery room, the midwife had already packed up, and there was still a faint smell in the air. Feng Shaojun was lying on the bed, his huge and round belly suddenly shrunk, his plump cheeks looked pale and weak, and he fell asleep due to exhaustion.
He had never seen such a weak and pale Feng Shaojun.
The ecstasy in my heart dissipated, replaced by heartache and a hint of guilt.
Shen You sat beside the bed and reached out to gently hold Feng Shaojun's hand.
