Mother Zheng followed suit, saying, "The baby is about to be born, and this is his first time being a father, so he's definitely worried."

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she thought, that's right. Not only is this Xu Zekun's first time being a father, it's also her first time being a grandmother. That's all. Right now, the most important thing is that the child is born safely.

-

When Yao Susu was nine months pregnant, she woke up from her dream again because of the pain in her calf cramps. She cried helplessly, and her tears wet her silk handkerchief.

"Why are you crying?" Xu Zekun gently wiped her tears, his tone as soft as if he was frightening a child. The hardship of the late pregnancy was also reflected in the fact that Yao Susu, who was originally the most good-tempered person, would lose her temper from time to time, which made Xu Zekun feel distressed and helpless.

Yao Susu sobbed, burying her face in his chest: "I feel uncomfortable."

Xu Zekun leaned over and rubbed her cramped calf with his hand: "Rub it, it will stop hurting."

Yao Susu enjoyed herself peacefully for a while, then frowned and held her waist, saying, "My waist hurts too."

The warm big hand moved from her legs to Yao Susu's waist, massaging gently through the clothes.

Yao Susu found a place in his arms and fell asleep.

It was already three o'clock in the morning. Everything was quiet outside and the only sound that could be heard inside the house was Yao Susu's shallow breathing.

Xu Zekun hugged her and gently placed her on the bed. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he kissed her sweet and tender cheek, and put his palm on her bulging belly. He felt extremely peaceful and happy in his heart.

However, this calmness and happiness turned into tension and excitement on the second day, because early in the morning, Yao Susu had abdominal pain. Xu Zekun quickly sent a midwife over, who felt her belly and said that she was about to give birth!

As soon as the news of Susu's move came out, within a quarter of an hour, Wu was brought to Yingxue Pavilion by a group of maids and servants.

She has always been proud of her status. Although she was extremely worried about Yao Susu's belly, she had never been to Yingxue Pavilion. At most, she would give her some supplements.

But today was the day her grandson was born, and she could not contain her anxiety, so she hurried to Yingxue Pavilion.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard Yao Susu's painful moans. The maids in Yingxue Pavilion were also in a mess, with anxious expressions on their faces.

She glanced around and didn't see Xu Zekun, so she grabbed a little maid and asked, "Where's the prince?"

The girl was carrying a copper basin and trying to get some hot water when she saw that it was Wu who grabbed her. She knelt down hurriedly and said, "Madam, the prince... the prince is in the room with my aunt."

Wu's heart sank and she was a little unhappy. Childbirth is a dirty process for a woman, and it is not appropriate for a man to be there with her.

She walked past the maid and entered the inner room. As she got closer, she could hear Yao Susu's weak moans and cries, as well as Xu Zekun's comforting voice: "Susu, you have to bear it." His voice was so gentle.

Inside the house, Yao Susu's eyes were red and wet, she clutched Xu Zekun's hand and sobbed, "Master, it hurts..."

Intense pain came from her abdomen, waist and back, making Yao Susu's face lose all color in an instant.

Xu Zekun was extremely distressed and panicked as never before. He clenched the sweaty hand in his hand, piercing the midwife beside him with his sharp eyes and said, "When will this child be born? Auntie is in so much pain!"

The midwives looked at each other, and seeing Xu Zekun looked like a demon, they didn't dare to say anything.

Giving birth is not an easy thing. It is common to feel pain for a whole day and a whole night. How long has Aunt Yao been in pain? Even the master can't bear it anymore. One of the midwives gathered her words for a while, lowered her head and frowned, and said, "Master, don't worry. Aunt Yao's cervix is ​​dilating quickly. I believe she will be able to give birth soon."

"This is how women give birth. Why are you rushing them like this?" Mrs. Wu came in, frowning and scolding.

Seeing that the old lady of the mansion had arrived, everyone hurriedly saluted.

The room was filled with a bloody smell. When Yao Susu saw Wu coming, she let go of Xu Zekun's hand, bit her lip and stopped talking, but tears continued to flow out.

"Greetings to my mother." Xu Zekun's face turned very pale, and he saluted Wu in a daze.

Seeing his expression, Wu frowned and said, "Susu is giving birth, why are you so anxious? You don't have to bother the midwife!"

She took a deep breath and suppressed the slight anger in her heart. Xu Zekun looked like he was bewitched by Yao Susu, and she felt unhappy.

But no matter how unhappy she was, she couldn't possibly make things difficult for Yao Susu, so she just pushed Xu Zekun away and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Yao Susu was lying on the bed in a mess, her little face covered in tears and sweat, her lips bitten until they were bleeding.

"Old lady..." Yao Susu wanted to stand up and greet her, but the pain in her abdomen had already made her almost lose her life. She could only speak weakly with her teeth chattering.

Seeing her like this, Wu Shi actually felt a little pity for her.

In any case, this child is the result of the mother's hard work.

She gently wiped the sweat off Yao Susu's forehead with a handkerchief and said softly, "Good child, the Xu family's incense will be inherited by you alone. Work hard and give birth to the child safely."

Another burst of sharp pain made Yao Susu cry out in pain without even having time to respond: "Ah...Ah!"

"Oh my, the baby is about to be born, Madam, Master, Concubine Yao is about to give birth. This delivery room is dark and gloomy. Please get out quickly."

Xu Zekun's heart trembled and he almost turned around.

"What are you doing? You can't stay here!" Wu whispered.

Xu Zekun clenched his fists. He was naturally not afraid of the filth in the delivery room, but he knew that if he stayed here, the only one who would be criticized would be Yao Susu.

The door of the delivery room opened and closed. When Xu Zekun came outside, he was blown by the wind and realized that he was already sweating coldly.

Thinking back to the last time I saw Yao Susu, the woman's almond-shaped eyes were wet and red, and even through the water, I could see the fear in her eyes.

He closed his eyes and prayed to God for the first time, asking that Yao Susu and her child be safe.

_

"Ah, it hurts!" Yao Susu's shrill scream spread throughout the yard.

Xu Zekun trembled and almost rushed into the inner room, but Wu stopped him and said, "What are you doing?"

Women's childbirth has always been considered obscene, not to mention someone like Xu Zekun who is going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, who is absolutely not allowed to enter.

"Mother knows you feel sorry for Yao, but you absolutely cannot enter this delivery room. Just stay here. There are midwives and imperial doctors guarding inside, so nothing will happen." Seeing Xu Zekun's pale face, although Wu was a little dissatisfied in her heart, she still spoke to comfort him.

Xu Zekun closed his eyes and stopped his movements. He wanted to straighten Su Su out, so he couldn't act willfully at this moment, otherwise his mother would be even more dissatisfied.

Wu was relieved to see that he had calmed down and stopped forcing his way in. Susu had given birth to her beloved grandson, and she was extremely anxious and worried. She couldn't sit still at all. She kept clasping her hands together and praying, asking all the gods and Buddhas to bless her grandson with a safe birth.
