Chapter 406 Born

On the day when the old prince returned to Beijing, Xie Guimo went to Shili Pavilion to greet him. When he saw Xie Guimo, the first thing the old prince asked was, "Is the baby born?"

A certain gentleman suddenly felt that his family status had plummeted.

"not yet."

The old prince rode back at full speed, waiting to see his great-grandson, and was in a very anxious mood.

However, no matter how urgent the situation was, the old prince kept his status in mind. He had not returned to Beijing for a year, so he first went to the palace to see the emperor and then returned to the palace.

The old prince doesn't know about the division of the palace. Only the prince and Xie Guimo know where the old prince is. Even if the old lady wants to send a letter to the old prince, she doesn't know where to send it.

When the old prince returned home, only the prince and princess and Shen Tang greeted him. The old lady and the second and third masters were not there.

The old prince felt strange, "Why are there only you two? Where are the second and third brothers?"

The prince looked at Xie Guimo, and Xie Guimo said, "I didn't say it because I was afraid of affecting grandfather's mood."

The prince said, "The third and fourth rooms have separated. I kicked the second room out, and the old lady moved to the fourth room. I didn't tell them that you returned to Beijing."

Old Prince, "..."

He had only been away from Beijing for a year, and yet the whole mansion had been turned upside down like this?

The old prince frowned, "What did the second wife do wrong to be kicked out by you?"

This is not the place to talk. Your Highness, please ask the old prince to go to the study and talk.

Upon learning that the Second Master was having an affair with Concubine Jiang, and that Xie Guiyin and Xie Yan were both the Second Master's flesh and blood, the Old Prince's face turned green. This was because the Second Master was not around, otherwise the Old Prince would have kicked them too.

There were tens of thousands of women in the world, and they helped outsiders to plot against their brother, and stuffed the women they had touched onto their brother's side. The old prince was almost angry to death on the day he returned to Beijing.

No wonder he didn’t even inform other families about such a big thing as his return to Beijing. The old prince was so angry that he had a heart attack.

There was only the eldest daughter's house in the palace, and the princess had someone prepare a reunion dinner. The old prince took a hot bath and changed into clean clothes. The third master and his third mistress, the fourth master and his fourth mistress, and their children also rushed over after hearing the news.

The second wife didn't come, because she didn't dare to. The second master couldn't come either, and the old lady didn't allow the second wife to come to the palace.

The third and fourth rooms came to pay their respects to the old prince, but the old prince was in a bad mood and did not keep them for dinner. He sent them away after paying their respects.

The Fourth Madam still remembered the grievances she suffered when the fourth branch of the family was divided. It was agreed that she would be compensated by the public when the old prince returned to Beijing, but in the end she was not even given a chance to speak. The old prince had a rage on his face, and the Fourth Madam was scared to death, so how could she dare to speak?

They thought they would be able to have a reunion dinner with the old prince after returning, but they didn't expect that the prince and princess didn't keep them, and neither did the old prince.

I’m afraid I’ll never have the chance to return to this royal mansion.

I was badly cheated by the second wife!

After they left, the princess asked the maid to bring the food. There was a table full of dishes, all of which were the old prince's favorite.

The prince took out the wine from his collection and said, "Today, the three of us, father, son, grandfather and grandson, will drink to our heart's content!"

Chen Tang sat between the princess and Xie Guimo, and the princess picked up some food for Chen Tang.

The two of them didn't drink, but seeing that the old prince and Xie Guimo were drinking happily, Xie Guimo didn't forget to pick up some food for Chen Tang.

When he put the shrimp into Chen Tang's bowl, a bang was heard.

Xie Guimo asked, "What exploded?"

It felt like it was coming from Shen Tang’s stomach.

The next second, Chen Tang's face changed drastically, "Oh no! She's about to give birth!"

No matter how anxious you are to get out, you don't have to be so anxious.

She had only eaten half of her meal.

Everyone in the room was stunned at first, and then they reacted. The princess said, "Quick, take Tang'er back!"

"Call the midwife! Please invite Zhao Yuanzheng!"

Shen Tang panicked.

Xie Guimo was even more panicked than her.

He hurriedly picked up Chen Tang and quickly sent him back to Chenxiangxuan.

The princess went with him, but the prince and the old prince did not. Because childbirth is not that quick, they may not be able to see their grandchildren and great-grandchildren today.

The father and son continued to drink.

As soon as Xie Guimo carried Chen Tang back to the house, the two midwives came over. Seeing that Chen Tang's water had broken, they said, "She should be born soon..."

After all, the princess had given birth to Xie Guimo, so she knew that water breaking would lead to birth faster than bleeding. However, if it was just bleeding, it would be fine if the baby was born in one or two days, but water breaking would be dangerous. If the baby was not born within a few hours, the baby in her belly would be in danger. Thinking of the fact that Chen Tang was pregnant with twins, the princess' heart was in her throat.

Chen Tang was mentally prepared that giving birth would be painful, but that mental preparation was the same as not having done it. She didn't expect it to be so painful.

Xie Guimo was in so much pain that she wanted to bite him to death.

"ah!"

Shen Tang cried out in pain.

Xie Guimo paced back and forth in the yard, extremely worried.

Before, the Fourth Madam had told Ginkgo Qiutong that if Chen Tang took action, she should send someone to tell her immediately. After receiving the news, the Fourth Madam hurried over, and Madam An also came with her.

When An Nuan gave birth, the princess' body had not yet recovered, so she stayed with Madam An all night. Now that Chen Tang is giving birth, Madam An will definitely come to wait with the princess.

Xie Guimo had never felt that time was so torturous.

It was fine when Chen Tang didn't cry out in pain, but as soon as he did, Xie Guimo became anxious and waited like this from lunch until the evening.

As the sun was setting, the princess said to Madam An and Madam Four, "I'm afraid the baby won't be born until tonight. Why don't you go back first?"

Mrs. An said, "I'll wait with you."

The fourth wife nodded and said, "I'll be worried if I go back."

Chen Tang’s shouting was not as strong as before, and the Fourth Madam was very scared.

At this moment, the door was opened. The creaking sound of the door made people's hearts rise to their throats, fearing that something bad was going to happen.

The midwife came out and the princess asked, "Are you okay?"

The midwife said, "The woman has no strength left. Bring her something to eat."

princess,"……"

Xie Guimo, "..."

It was a false alarm.

The princess quickly asked Ginkgo and Qiutong to bring food to Chen Tang.

Chen Tang had only eaten half full at noon. He had been in pain all afternoon and was so hungry that he ate four cakes in one go and had some porridge.

Just as I was about to eat, I started to feel pain in my stomach again.

After eating, the shouting became much louder.

The midwife told Chen Tang to hold back from shouting and to use her strength on giving birth. Chen Tang tried her best to be patient and followed the midwife's instructions to exert force.

Xie Guimo continued pacing outside the yard.

Suddenly, a loud cry was heard.

He was in a trance for a moment.

The princess exclaimed happily, "It's born! It's born!"

Then the midwife opened the door and announced the good news, "It's a little prince!"

It doesn't matter if the baby is a boy or a girl, as long as it is born safely.

The princess breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the first baby was born, the second one would be here soon.

Sure enough, within half a cup of tea, another loud cry was heard.

The midwife came out and said, "This time it's a little girl! She gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl!"

The princess knew that Chen Tang was pregnant with twins, and that there was a high possibility that they were a boy and a girl, but after all, they were not born. Now that she heard the midwife’s good news, the princess was so happy that she couldn’t stop smiling.

She only gave birth to Xie Guimo in her life, but she didn't expect that she would have two grandchildren, a boy and a girl.

However, after the child is born, the mother is not completely out of danger. An Nuan suffered hemorrhage after childbirth, so she should not be careless.

Zhao Yuanzheng had already made preparations in case of emergency.

However, after Chen Tang gave birth to the child, she fell asleep and nothing dangerous happened.

After making sure that everything was alright, Dean Zhao and Imperial Physician Liu said goodbye.

Although Chen Tang didn't need it, the princess would definitely not let Zhao Yuanzheng and Liu Taiyi make a wasted trip, so she gave them a thick red envelope so that they could also share in the joy of Jingyang Palace.

Mrs. An and Mrs. Four looked at the children. The son's features resembled Chen Tang's, while the daughter looked more like Xie Guimo. They were also quite heavy, one weighing 4.8 jin and the other 5.2 jin.

If there is only one, the weight is considered light, but if there are two, the weight is already excellent.

Mrs. An and Mrs. Four looked after the child and then returned home. The child came back after three days of bathing.

The two midwives also received double the amount of wedding money, and the old prince gave half a year's salary to everyone in the palace.
