Wen Xiaotu walked into the delivery room with her huge belly, looking so calm that she didn't look like she was about to give birth, but more like she was inspecting the delivery room.
"Why are you here?" Mrs. Wang, who was in charge of taking care of the delivery room, looked puzzled.
Hongguo was so anxious that she stamped her feet: "The empress has started!"
Mrs. Wang was shocked. The empress looked so calm, but she didn't look like she was about to give birth at all!
Wen Xiaotu patted Hongguo's shoulder: "Don't worry, don't panic." Then he stated to Mrs. Wang: "I had a stomachache when I had breakfast this morning, but I will feel better after breakfast."
The pain stopped, and then I went to take a bath. After taking a bath, the pain started again."
Mrs. Wang was shocked: "Mother, you started to start this morning, why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
Wen Xiaotu said calmly: "It's just a start. It's still too early to have a baby! Why are you in a hurry?"
Mrs. Wang choked, what she said was reasonable, but when it came from the mother's mouth, why was it so unpleasant? However, it was a good thing that Empress Zhaoyi could be so calm. Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "What the empress said is true, please rest assured."
Lie down, don't panic, don't be anxious, it's still early for the birth canal to open."
Wen Xiaotu raised his hand and said: "I'm not in too much pain yet, so don't be in a hurry to lie down. You go and get ready first."
Mrs. Wang was shocked again. This was the first time she had seen such a calm pregnant woman. She had no choice but to follow Zhaoyi's instructions and hurriedly directed the maids to get ready.
The delivery room is actually very small, only ten square meters by visual inspection. There is a large kang in it, which is burned every day without interruption. The quilt on the kang is also exposed to the sun every day and washed frequently, so it is a little discolored. In addition, the delivery room
There is also a small shrine inside, which is dedicated to the Goddess of Pregnancy and Guanyin, and the incense burns continuously day and night.
Other than that, there are only tables, chairs, incense and other items, which is a bit monotonous. The windows are extremely small and airtight, and it seems to be of low standard. After all, the delivery room is only used during childbirth and confinement.
If you don't have a bag, then throw it away, so it can be kept small and warm.
Wen Xiaotu was supported by Hongguo and Xiaohan, pacing back and forth in the small delivery room. She also walked to the shrine to observe it, and also poured incense. After finishing the incense, her stomach hurt even more. Wen Xiao
Tu couldn't help but moan.
Hongguo saw this and couldn't help but said: "My dear, you'd better go and lie down on the kang."
Cold sweat broke out on Wen Xiaotu's forehead. She nodded and said, "Okay."
The fire kang was just an ordinary five-foot kang. It was not big, but it was indeed very hot. She walked around in the delivery room for a while and guessed that another fire had been added. In the cold winter, the delivery room was very hot, at least 25 degrees.
, even if you don’t wear clothes, you won’t be cold.
Hong Guo helped her loosen her robe, take off her shoes, socks, skirt and crotchless pants. Wen Xiaotu lay awkwardly on the fire bed, obviously having no privacy.
Several other midwives also rushed over to check the birth canal.
Wen Xiaotu looked embarrassed.
Mrs. Wang was a little surprised: "Oh, three fingers have been opened!"
Wen Xiaotu blushed and asked, "Then do I have to exert force?"
Wang Po said hurriedly: "It's not yet time, my dear, don't be impatient. Just take a deep breath and lie down calmly."
At this time, Aunt Chunxi quickly came in to report: "Mother, Lu Yuanpan, Huang Yuanpan and Imperial Physician Fu are all here! I would also like to ask a midwife to go out and give a reply to the imperial doctors."
Mrs. Wang, who knew the situation best, quickly told the other three midwives to take good care of Empress Zhaoyi, and then quickly went out to report the news.
It was also a coincidence that Mrs. Wang had just left the delivery room, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor arrived together.
Mrs. Wang did not dare to raise her head, so she kowtowed and reported: "Empress Zhaoyi launched the attack early in the morning. Everything is fine now. Please rest assured, Your Majesty the Queen Mother!"
Ming Zhao's face darkened. Atu had launched the attack early in the morning, but Changyi Palace did not report it until a quarter of a second ago! At that time, Emperor Ming Zhao had just gone to the Yi Nian Palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother, so he came with him.
Before the emperor could reprimand him, the queen mother had already angrily scolded: "It was launched early in the morning, why did you report it so late?!"
Mrs. Wang was so frightened that she kowtowed quickly: "The empress felt stomach discomfort during breakfast, but she didn't say anything immediately. Maybe it's... her first pregnancy. I don't know why." - Although Empress Zhaoyi looks calmer than most pregnant women.
calm……
Ming Zhao couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "Atu is really..." Then he ordered with a straight face: "Go to the delivery room and take good care of Zhaoyi. If there is anything wrong with Zhaoyi mother and child, none of you will be able to escape the consequences!"
Mrs. Wang was sweating coldly. She gave birth to the royal family. Although she was rewarded a lot, she had to risk her head! Mrs. Wang did not dare to say anything, kowtowed, and quickly ran to the delivery room to get busy.
The three imperial doctors looked at me, and I looked at you. Magistrate Lu Yuan came forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, please rest assured. Empress Zhaoyi is already full term, and the fetus has been stable. This time, mother and child will be safe."
Having said that, everyone present could not feel at ease when thinking of Hui Guan's previous predictions.
The Queen Mother was sitting in the main hall, twirling Buddhist beads in her hand and reciting scriptures, with a worried expression.
Emperor Mingzhao couldn't even sit still. He walked back and forth in the main hall. He couldn't help but ask: "Why is there no movement in the delivery room in the side hall?!" - Don't pregnant women scream randomly when they give birth?
Why didn't Atu make any sound?
The emperor immediately told Aunt Qiulu beside him: "Go and have a look!"
"yes!"
At this time, Xin Ruozhi and Lu Hengzhi came together, especially since Xin Ruozhi was the concubine in charge, she had to show up for such things.
Emperor Mingzhao looked irritated when he saw it. Before Xin Ruozhi could ask about the situation, he rolled his sleeves and said, "You can't help me, so don't hang around in front of my eyes!"
Although Xin Ruozhi was unhappy, she also understood that Wen Zhaoyi was desperately trying to give birth to a child, so she said, "Then I and Lu Chongyi will go to Cihang Palace to pray for Zhaoyi and the emperor's heir."
The Queen Mother showed approval: "Xian Fei is thoughtful."
The two of them retreated neatly, and Emperor Mingzhao ordered Liang Kunyu: "Ask someone to guard Changyi Gate, and no unrelated persons are allowed in!"
Liang Kunyu immediately understood that these so-called irrelevant persons included all the concubines in the harem, "Yes!"
The Queen Mother murmured: "Amitabha, with the blessings of Bodhisattvas, the Ai family's grandson must be born safely!"
Ming Zhao felt more and more irritable after hearing this. The only thing the mother was worried about was her children!
Aunt Qiu Lu hurriedly came back to report: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, Empress Zhaoyi is calm and composed, and the birth canal has been opened five fingers."
Ming Zhao frowned: "Then why does she have no voice?"
Aunt Qiu Lu said tactfully: "Zhaoyi is calm and calm, knowing that shouting is useless."
After Ming Zhao heard this, he felt heartbroken. How can it not be painful to give birth? It obviously hurts, but you have to endure it with all your strength. Ah Tu, Ah Tu, you must get through this!
However, as soon as Grandma Qiulu finished speaking, screams of "Ah" came from the side hall.
Mingzhao's heart suddenly tightened, Atu must not be able to bear it any longer!
