From the moment she got up in the morning, Zhao Xiyan felt different from the past. Her round belly seemed to be slowly sinking, and she felt slight throbbing pain from time to time. After a while, the pain became much more obvious.
Zhao Xiyan was sweating slightly on her forehead, and her expression was quite calm: "Hostanda, Begonia, I have a stomachache. Help me to the delivery room."
Hosta and Begonia had long been mentally prepared. However, when the moment actually came, she was still a little flustered.
Hosta supported her master, and Haitang rushed out to call for help. After tea, the four midwives from the palace came, as did the three midwives Xu Ying and the sisters had found.
The female doctor from the palace came quickly.
The delivery room is located in the wing room of the main hospital. It has been cleaned repeatedly and is very clean. Zhao Xiyan was supported on the bed.
Xu Ying ran all the way into the delivery room, even more nervous than when she gave birth to her child: "Yueya'er, how do you feel now?"
At this time, labor pains were sweeping over me.
Zhao Xiyan was so painful that she could not speak, and beads of sweat kept rolling down her forehead.
Xu Ying wiped Zhao Xiyan's sweat with a handkerchief and quickly gave instructions without looking back: "Immediately send someone to Zhao's house to deliver a letter and ask aunt to come. Then go to Zhou's and Zhu's to deliver a letter. Also, send a letter to the palace."
I’m sending you a message from the Queen.”
At this time, Zhao Xiyan seemed to be torn in half. She gritted her teeth and endured the pain, followed the method taught by Aunt Jiang, took a deep breath, and exerted force suddenly.
Xu Zhi knew the taboo. She stood outside the delivery room, listened for a moment, turned her head and whispered: "Yue Ya'er is very strong, and has been enduring the pain."
Zhao Xiyan survived this wave of labor pain, her thin dress was soaked with sweat, and she sighed to Xu Ying: "It really hurts!"
Haitang nodded vigorously.
The kind of overwhelming pain that seems to tear a person into pieces is simply unthinkable. I can only endure it and get through it slowly.
"Mother Jiang, I'll leave it to you today." Xu Ying said softly.
Another midwife said hurriedly: "The Crown Princess has another baby in her belly! Don't be too busy rejoicing now. We can announce the good news together when this baby is also born."
Zhao Xiyan had never experienced such pain in her life. Later, she could no longer bear it and cried out in pain. The hosta and begonia guarding outside the delivery room had red eyes.
Haitang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and whispered with a choked voice: "At such a critical time, the Crown Prince is not in the capital."
Queen Su in the palace had already received the news and remained silent.
An hour later, Xu Zhi came first.
Again and again.
A burst of severe and unbearable pain hit me.
Even Aunt Jiang and the other four were well aware of this matter. Giving birth to a child was a big deal, so it was reasonable for the Beihai Palace to invite two midwives. There was nothing to blame or dissatisfy.
Zhao Xiyan tried her best, but suddenly felt pain in her lower body, and immediately relaxed.
Everyone was waiting in fear outside the delivery room, listening to the voices coming from the delivery room from time to time: "Prince Princess, please try harder!"
Even Xu Ying herself was kicked out.
The baby boy's loud cry could be heard outside the delivery room.
"If you try harder, the child's head will come out soon."
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Sun came with Zhao Suxin and Zhao Queyu.
As for the experienced female doctor, she had been staying by Zhao Xiyan's side as the mother in charge. At this time, she went to the bedside to diagnose Zhao Xiyan's pulse, and then nodded to Xu Ying.
The county prince had secretly told them long ago that on the day when the imperial concubine gave birth, their most important task was to keep an eye on Aunt Jiang. As long as the imperial concubine was safe and sound, it would be a great achievement and they would be rewarded heavily.
If you keep crying all the time, you will not have the strength to give birth to the baby during labor. You must try your best to endure it and do not cry or cry in pain.
The fact that Zhao Xiyan was pregnant with twins had been kept secret and never publicized. However, naturally, she could not hide it from Aunt Jiang and others who were serving her closely.
The other two midwives were of no use for the time being and stayed silently in the corner, staring at Grandma Jiang and others.
Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
Occasionally, a cry of pain was heard in the delivery room, but peace soon returned. It can be imagined that Zhao Xiyan was trying her best to endure and support.
Zhao Xiyan hummed.
Aunt Jiang was blessed and said in a calm voice: "County Lord, please rest assured that I will serve the Crown Princess with all my heart."
Labor pains are like a tide, one wave passes, and then another.
No one was in the mood to chat, and every heart was hanging in the air.
Hosta swallowed back her tears and whispered: "The Crown Prince's trip to Qinghe County to quell the bandits is a matter of great importance to the country. It's not just about having fun. Don't whisper. The Crown Prince is the strongest and will definitely be able to hold on."
Xu Ying looked at the midwives sent by the palace again. These four midwives were all over forty years old. The leader, whose surname was Jiang, was nearly fifty years old. She was not tall and looked smart and capable.
…
Aunt Jiang was overjoyed: "The baby is born." Looking at her crotch again, Aunt Jiang was even more happy: "It's the young prince. Congratulations to the prince, concubine, for giving birth to a little prince. Come on, hurry up, go outside the delivery room to announce the good news.
"
It hurts so much!
When the children are born, they must be beaten first to let them know how much their mother has suffered for their birth. Thinking this, Zhao Xiyan gained strength.
Xu Zhi thought the carriage was slow, so she rode a fast horse all the way and rushed outside the delivery room. Xu Ying hurriedly stopped her: "Mother Jiang said, we are all waiting outside and don't enter the delivery room to avoid people.
The comings and goings make Yue Ya'er confused and frighten the child in her belly."
They are all people who have been there and know what it’s like.
No matter how anxious others are about the pain of giving birth, they can only watch. All the pain has to be endured by the mother herself. I just hope that God will be kind and allow the princess to suffer less and give birth to the child safely.
After another half an hour, Xu Fang also came in a hurry.
Xu Ying was almost amused. She wiped Zhao Xiyan's sweat with a handkerchief: "There is no pain in giving birth. You are pregnant with twins, and it will be even more painful when you give birth. Just be patient and wait until the baby is born.
Just come out and it’ll be fine.”
The baby is coming out.
The two of them have served Zhao Xiyan for many years, and they both know their master's temper. Zhao Xiyan looks gentle and delicate, but in fact she has a tough temperament. No matter what kind of pain she encounters, she will not show up and deal with it calmly. If the pain is not extreme, she will never
It will be so painful.
Xu Fang, Xu Zhi, and Xu Ying were overjoyed when they learned that their nephew was born.
Great! The Beihai Palace has a successor... If Xu Jing has great fortune, this will be the future emperor's grandson!
Mrs. Sun also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily.
The royal family has very few heirs. The Beihai Palace also has a single inheritance from three generations. Now that Zhao Xiyan has a son at one stroke, the second one, whether male or female, will be excellent.
Half an hour later, the baby cried again in the delivery room.
The midwife came out with a smile and announced the good news: "The Crown Princess has given birth to a pair of dragons and phoenixes."
