The sick Empress Dowager listened to the advice of the Concubine Xian, struggled up and ordered people to invite Emperor Ming Yuan to ask for sacrifices to heaven.
How could Emperor Ming Yuan have the intention to sacrifice to heaven? But the old lady believed that it was because the ceremony of worshiping heaven was not held grandly last year that caused the disaster from heaven.
Emperor Ming Yuan was afraid that her random thoughts would hurt her body, so he had no choice but to agree.
However, the ceremony of worshiping the heaven cannot be accomplished by just going out and shouting.
The Queen Mother sent a decree to invite the Master Abbot to enter the palace and discuss the ceremony with the Ministry of Rites.
Before the abbot entered the palace, he repeatedly warned Yu Wenhao that if the princess showed signs of giving birth, he must be notified.
Yuan Qingling had told Yu Wenhao before that he wanted to stay with the abbot to pray for blessings. However, Yu Wenhao heard that a ceremony to worship heaven was being held, so he did not stop him from praying in the mansion and holding a ceremony to worship heaven. The latter seemed very grand, maybe
The effect is better.
He only told Yuan Qingling that he would hold a ceremony to pray for her, but did not say that the abbot was leaving.
The people in Beijing are also very supportive of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. The chaos in Beijing is really annoying now. Please God's blessing and let Northern Tang Dynasty regain its previous peace.
The ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven is held on the eighth day of April, which happens to be the birthday of Buddha, Amitabha.
It had been raining for the past few days, but on this day, it suddenly cleared up and the spring sun shone, dispelling the cold and damp air, and cheering people up.
On the morning of the eighth day of April, Yuan Qingling felt a slight pain in her abdomen, and the pain in her lower back worsened significantly.
She thought maybe it would be today.
Although after these days of nursing, her health has improved slightly, but her foundation is too weak. Dr. Cao said that she was still afraid of not having enough strength during the delivery.
"Lao Wu!" Yuan Qingling supported her waist and slowly turned to look at Yu Wenhao, "I have a pain in my stomach. I may give birth today."
Yu Wenhao's face turned pale, his hand trembled, and then he held her hand firmly, "I'm going to give birth? Oh my God, I'm going to give birth? Really? Are you sure?"
Yuan Qingling nodded gently, inhaling and exhaling to feel the movement in her belly.
His heart suddenly panicked, "Then, what should we do now?"
Although he had simulated it many times, when he heard Yuan Qingling say it at this moment, he was still so panicked that his limbs became weak.
"Clean the operating room for me again. After I have obvious contractions, I will go there to give birth," Yuan Qingling said.
In fact, she still wanted to try to give birth naturally, but if she couldn't give birth naturally, she would ask her junior to have a caesarean section.
Yu Wenhao immediately called Tang Yang. He stayed beside Yuan Qingling at a loss, but he didn't know what to do. He just pushed the imperial doctor, "What should I do? What should I do?"
Dr. Cao tried to comfort her: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Wen Po and Wei Chen will stay by the Princess's side. I just feel a slight abdominal pain now. It's not time yet. I can give birth to my first child tonight."
Although Dr. Cao smiled and spoke, he was extremely nervous. This was definitely a big test.
When everyone in the mansion heard that the princess had made a move, they all became nervous, and someone immediately went to report it to the emperor and the palace.
The imperial doctor was standing ready, and Wen Po was guarding her every step of the way. Aunt Xi counted the medicines, gauze, and the things the princess had prepared for herself over and over again. She didn’t know what they were, but they were all in large pieces.
Cotton, I don’t know where she bought it.
Everyone kept their nervousness inside and did not dare to show it for fear of scaring the princess.
Mrs. Jiang Ninghou took Wuyou Powder and asked Yuan Qingling to take it, and said: "Don't be nervous, try to adjust your breathing slowly, rest for a while, and eat something."
Yuan Qingling breathed slowly. She was not nervous at all, and even felt a sense of relief.
She commanded calmly, took a shower, washed her hair, changed into loose clothes soaked in disinfectant, and moved around while the contractions were not obvious yet.
Her calmness gave Yu Wenhao a lot of support and confidence. He helped Yuan Qing Ling leave, but he still couldn't speak clearly and kept saying: "Don't worry, I will always be there to accompany you into the delivery room."
