Upon hearing this, Xia Zhengqi slapped his head and said, "Look at my brain. I even forgot about Cheng Wan."
"Hurry, hurry, take your carriage and return home first, so that the Crown Princess can have someone to take care of her."
Xia Zhengqi slapped the prince's shoulder so hard that he staggered.
"Your son obeys your command!" the prince shouted and ran out of the imperial study like a flash.
Soon, the Queen, Kezun and Rongpin were all ready and came to the Imperial Study together to meet Xia Zhengqi.
Xiao Wanyin was not in the palace because she returned home two days ago.
The group got into three carriages and drove towards the Prince's Mansion in a grand manner.
When they arrived at the main courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, the Prince was pacing back and forth anxiously in the courtyard.
The Crown Princess's parents, Lord Rong and Madam Rong, were also standing by, waiting anxiously.
When the Rong family saw the emperor, empress and others coming, they hurriedly bowed.
"My dear relative, there's no need to be so polite!" Xia Zhengqi stepped forward and supported Lord Rong's arm.
"Madam Rong, how is Chu Yue doing now?" the Queen asked with concern.
Madam Rong said with a bitter face, "We've been in the delivery room for an hour, and the baby hasn't been born yet!"
"The nanny beside her said that she started having a dull abdominal pain after breakfast today. The midwife that was prepared in advance said that she was starting to have colic."
"The midwife told her to walk around the yard more, saying that would help her give birth faster."
"It's already noon, and the baby hasn't been born yet..."
When Mrs. Rong said this, tears welled up in her eyes.
The Queen stepped forward and held Madam Rong's hands tightly. "Don't worry, dear. We have invited the most experienced midwife in the palace. Chu Yue will definitely give birth to the baby smoothly."
Rongpin was standing next to Madam Rong and listening. When she heard this, she was also very anxious.
She walked to Madam Rong's side, took her arm, and comforted her gently: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, isn't it said that women take longer to give birth to their first child?"
"Look at Chuyue. She has always been strong and healthy. She is not a delicate and weak woman. She will definitely be able to give birth smoothly."
With the comfort from the Queen and Concubine Rong, the tears in Madam Rong's eyes subsided a little.
Since Xia Miaoyuan came to the main courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, his eyes have never been idle.
The Crown Prince and his consorts all like quietness. Normally, the main courtyard is very quiet, and there are not many servants serving them. But now, the main courtyard is too lively.
The maids and old women were busy coming in and out.
Basin after basin of hot water was brought in.
In the middle of the yard, Xia Zhengqi and his group were standing there again.
At this time, the huge main courtyard of the Prince's Mansion looked like a market.
[Alas, I never had a child in my previous life, so I really don't have any experience with this.]
[I don’t know how my sister-in-law is doing now.]
Xia Miaoyuan was observing the servants coming in and out while complaining in his heart.
She slowly walked to the window of the delivery room and could faintly hear the suppressed moans of Crown Princess Rong Chuyue.
Just hearing it made her scalp tingle.
[Oh my god, my sister-in-law must be in so much pain.]
At this time, the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion walked into the courtyard.
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Concubine Rong, Lord Rong, Madam Rong, it's already past lunchtime, please don't starve yourself."
"I have prepared some cakes for you gentlemen. Please feel free to eat some to fill your stomachs!"
As he spoke, several maids came over from behind the housekeeper and placed plates of cakes on the stone table.
Xia Zhengqi frowned: "You guys eat it, I can't eat it."
The Queen and Concubine Rong waved at Xia Zhengqi.
Lord Rong and Madam Rong also had frowns on their faces and couldn't eat anything.
The prince was completely focused on Rong Chuyue and didn't even have time to drink water.
There was a table full of pastries, but no one touched them.
Xia Miaoyuan was frightened by Rong Chuyue's low cry and moved away from the window, but after a while, she was so worried and wanted to know what was going on in the delivery room, so she bravely walked closer to the window.
From inside the delivery room, the midwife's resonant voice was heard.
"My Lady, take a deep breath!"
"Let's slow down for a bit, then push harder. When I say push harder, you push harder!"
[Looking at this, my sister-in-law should be giving birth soon, right? ]
In the delivery room, Rong Chuyue was soaked all over, and her hair looked like it had just been fished out of the water.
The pretty face had now lost its color and turned pale.
After several hours of labor pains and nearly an hour of trying to give birth, she was exhausted.
"Mammy, I'm so tired. I feel exhausted." Rong Chuyue said weakly to Mammy Song beside her.
Nanny Song was Rong Chuyue's personal servant and was brought from the Rong Mansion as a dowry.
At this moment, Nanny Song's eyes were red, and she held Rong Chuyue's hand tightly: "Crown Princess, you must hold on!"
When Xia Miaoyuan heard this, he cried out in his heart that something was wrong.
[Why do I feel like my sister-in-law is losing her strength?]
If a woman in labor doesn't have the strength to give birth in modern times, would she be taken directly to the operating room for a caesarean section?
"Ah! But cesarean sections didn't exist in ancient times. If my sister-in-law can't give birth, she'll die!"
When Xia Miaoyuan thought of this, his two little fists clenched as hard as stone.
At this time, the midwife's voice was heard again in the delivery room.
"Hurry up and bring the ginseng soup over. Give the Crown Princess some. She's exhausted!"
The midwife spoke in a loud and urgent tone, and most of the people waiting in the courtyard heard it.
Everyone's heart tightened.
Everyone involuntarily took a few steps towards the delivery room.
"Chu Yue, how are you?" When the prince heard this, he ran to the door of the delivery room in a hurry.
But the two maids guarding the gate stopped him.
"Your Highness, men are not allowed to enter places like the delivery room."
"A man who enters will be in trouble. You are a precious body, so you are not allowed to enter."
What should I do? What should I do?
[I don’t know if the ancient ginseng soup is effective! ]
[My sister-in-law also needs some mental stability at this time! ]
Xia Miaoyuan muttered to herself as she followed the prince to the door of the delivery room.
[Bullshit rule! Men aren't even allowed to accompany their wives during childbirth! What kind of bullshit is this!]
When Xia Miaoyuan saw the nanny stopping the prince, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
When the prince heard his sister's words, he seemed to be greatly encouraged. He pushed the two maids away and pushed the door of the delivery room hard.
"I don't care! Let me go in and take a look!"
"Chu Yue is my wife. She risked her life in there to give birth to my child. Why can't I go in?"
The prince yelled in disbelief, slapping the door with his palm.
However, the door of the delivery room was locked from the inside, and the prince tried very hard to push it open but failed.
The prince's actions instantly alarmed everyone in the courtyard.
