"The Empress said she was not full, so she asked the kitchen to order another plate of beef dumplings and a plate of three fresh dumplings." The eldest maid Huaixu reported tremblingly, "The empress also said that she would order the kitchen to serve the emperor, the prince and the second princess as well.
Put the next two plates of dumplings on a cushion."
Emperor Mingzhao:......
Prince Jingjun:......
Princess Jinshu:......
At this moment, the three of them were silent.
After a long time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't help but murmured: "Is the Queen Mother really going to give birth?" - Why doesn't Gu look like her...
Wen Xiaotu was really about to give birth, so she had to fill her stomach. Giving birth was a long-lasting physical activity. How could she have the strength to give birth if she didn't eat enough?!
It’s not that she has a big appetite. After finishing one plate, she had to add two more. The main reason is that the enamel plate used to hold dumplings in her palace is too small. There are only eight dumplings in one plate, and it’s also a small size.
Little dumplings. Thirty-eight or twenty-four little dumplings...She didn't eat much...right?
Anyway, Wen Xiaotu finished two more plates of dumplings and immediately felt energetic.
Although this was her first time giving birth to a child, Wen Xiaotu had experience and knew how to breathe and exert force.
In addition, there was only one baby in her belly, and it was a natural birth. In addition, she was almost 21 years old, and her body bones were much stronger than Wen Rutu's, so naturally, the process of making porridge and rice was much smoother than before.
Even so, she still tossed her from the evening to the middle of the night, and the annoying little goblin in her belly finally stopped tossing her.
On the eve of dawn, the sound of a baby crying came from Heqing Hall.
Wen Xiaotu was covered in sweat, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief. This time he even had the strength to ask: "Is it a boy or a girl?"
The midwife’s smile turned into a chrysanthemum: “Congratulations, Queen, you have given birth to a little prince!”
Immediately, the midwife had wrapped up the red baby, carried it out of the delivery room, and congratulated the emperor in the bright room outside.
Wen Xiaotu: I haven’t looked carefully yet!!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the birth of Lin'er!" The midwives knelt down and said in unison, holding the extremely precious dragon in their hands.
Emperor Mingzhao immediately asked: "How is the queen?"
The midwife said: "The Queen is in good health. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Mingzhao's heart dropped to his stomach, and then he had time to look at this newborn child. He was ugly and cried loudly. He was a strong boy. I have another son!
"Okay, okay!" Emperor Mingzhao clapped his hands and laughed, "He Qing Palace will reward you with a year's salary in silver!"
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!" A group of palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Jinshu and Jingjun, the siblings, looked around curiously at the newly born baby brother. Wow, so ugly! This was the thought that occurred in the minds of the two siblings at the same time. However, seeing that their father was happy, they did not dare to say anything.
exit.
Jin Shu just said: "My brother is so young!"
Jingjun also nodded in agreement, "Just a little bit..."
Emperor Ming Zhao laughed and said: "He is much bigger than when you two were born!" - When Jin Shu and Jing Jun first landed, they were just two kittens.
Prince Jingjun touched his nose. After all, Gu and his sister were twins, so they were naturally smaller.
The midwife said with a smile: "Your Highness weighs almost seven kilograms!"
Wen Xiaotu was in a very depressed mood, and fell asleep in her depression. After all, she had been working hard for most of the night, and it was almost dawn. She was tired and sleepy, so she fell asleep quickly after the child was taken out.
This sleep lasted until the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The sunset reflected on the frosted glass window. Wen Xiaotu was lying on the fire bed in the delivery room. The heat was boiling under her body. There was also a charcoal pot burning in the room. Huaixu twisted the handkerchief, wiped her face and hands, and served her a drink.
A bowl of Chinese medicine for removing lochia.
Wen Xiaotu swallowed the medicine bravely and ate half of the plate of candied fruits before asking: "Where is the child?"
Huaixu quickly asked the wet nurse to bring the little prince in, "Your Highness has just received milk and is sleeping soundly now."
There was an ugly red child in the red tapestry Baifu baby. His eyes were closed tightly and his fists were clenched. Wen Xiaotu couldn't help but laugh: "Ugly and cute."
Huai Xu said with a smile: "Your Majesty has a majestic appearance, and your Majesty has a beautiful face. Your Highness must be very handsome when you open your arms."
Wen Xiaotu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, this girl was getting better at talking.
"This child was born during the Chinese New Year, and it's the night of the New Year's Eve. Should his nickname be Nian Nian or Sui Sui?" Wen Xiaotu had trouble choosing.
Huai Xu said: "Every year is good, and every year is safe. It's all good."
After saying that, Huai Xu added: "Anyway, they are much nicer than the nicknames given to the prince and the second princess by the Xian Sheng Queen."
Wen Xiaotu's head is full of black lines, damn girl, I am the sage queen!!
Although Wen Xiaotu never calls for porridge or rice in front of others, Huaixu is her personal maid after all. As time goes by, she will naturally not accidentally hear one or two words.
"I'm hungry." Wen Xiaotu smelled the fragrance of milk on his son's body, and his stomach began to growl.
"Slave, go and pass on the food right now!"
A palace maid with quick hands and feet lifted a small Kang table directly onto the Kang table, and all kinds of delicacies were placed on the Kang table. There are many taboos during the confinement period, and everything that can be served on the table is a nourishing medicinal diet that has been carefully improved by the female doctor Huang Wan.
, Hericium mushrooms in chicken sauce, black-bone chicken stewed with donkey-hide gelatin and longan, squab stewed with red dates and yam, quail stewed with wolfberry fish maw...
The aroma of meat overflowed, and Wen Xiaotu moved his index finger.
After feasting on the delicious food, Wen Xiaotu lay down on the warm quilt again. Giving birth was really a tiring and unpaid job. Even after sleeping all day, she still didn't feel relieved.
My whole body was sore and my bones seemed to be about to fall apart - of course, it was much better than the raw porridge and rice.
At this time, I suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from my ear: "I heard that you are awake. Do you feel better?"
Wen Xiaotu was stunned at that time and even suspected that she was hearing hallucinations. She couldn't help but look up and saw that it was His Majesty the Emperor. She couldn't help but be surprised: "Why did the Emperor enter the delivery room?!"
Ming Zhao smiled and said, "What's the big deal? It's not like I haven't been in before."
Wen Xiaotu: "Uh..." But back then, when she was making porridge and rice, she almost died.
Wen Xiaotu touched his messy temples, which still smelled faintly of sweat, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "I don't look well..."
The emperor suddenly came closer and hugged her into his arms, "Atu, I...have made you suffer again."
Wen Xiaotu smiled. Although giving birth was indeed difficult and tiring, it was also her own choice. "This time, it's actually okay."
Emperor Mingzhao sighed softly, "Let's not have any more children in the future, okay?"
Wen Xiaotu thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay." - For some reason, he had forgotten how hard it was to make porridge and rice, and it happened again...
"By the way, Your Majesty, please help me think about it, should the child's nickname be Nian Nian or Suisui?" Wen Xiaotu couldn't decide what to pay attention to, so he had to ask the baby's father for help.
Ming Zhao smiled and smoothed her hair, as if thinking about it, and after a moment he said: "Call it Sui Sui, Sui Sui is safe."
