After everyone in the yard was stunned for a moment, they all rushed into the main house.
In an instant, the door of the delivery room was crowded with people.
"Cheng Wan, what are you doing?" Xia Zhengqi asked anxiously.
The Crown Prince of Daxia, Xia Chengwan, has always been a gentleman and rarely loses his composure like this.
The prince's eyes were filled with tears: "Father, the midwife said that Chu Yue is exhausted..."
"I want to go in and see her. Perhaps she will cheer up after seeing me."
"But there has never been a rule that men are allowed into the delivery room!" Rongpin said in embarrassment.
"Yes, Your Highness! This is the rule passed down by our ancestors!" Lord Rong echoed.
Madam Rong murmured, "The delivery room is filthy. It would be unlucky for a man to go in there."
"Let me, the mother, go in and take a look."
As Mrs. Rong spoke, she pretended to push everyone aside and enter the delivery room.
[What a rotten rule! Human lives are at stake, and my husband should go in and see what's going on?] Xia Miaoyuan screamed in anger.
[Giving birth and nurturing life is such a sacred thing for a woman, yet it is said to be filthy.]
If it is truly filthy, then what will the child be? Is it a pile of filthy garbage?
[Ah! The ancients were so pedantic!]
[In modern society, husbands are able to enter the delivery room to accompany their wives.]
Hearing this, the Queen was shocked and she suddenly said, "Let Cheng Wan go in!"
"I grew up in the Northern Frontier, and there's never been a saying in the Northern Frontier that delivery rooms are filthy."
"Besides, Cheng Wan is the crown prince of our Great Xia. He is blessed by our ancestors, so why should he be afraid of bad luck?"
The queen's voice was so resounding that it stunned everyone present.
[Well done, mother. You are such a heroine!] Xia Miaoyuan looked at her mother proudly.
At this time, Ke Zun, who was standing next to the Queen, also spoke up: "The Queen is right. When I gave birth to her, her father came in to see me."
"There's no such rule in the Northern Frontier. Adults and children are still doing fine."
"Not allowing men into the delivery room is just a form of etiquette that despises women!"
【Ahhh, grandma is so awesome today too! 】
I love you guys so much!
Xia Zhengqi felt somewhat dissatisfied when he heard his daughter praising the Queen and Kezun in her heart.
He blurted out: "Cheng Wan, go in! Don't worry about those broken rules."
"Today I will issue an order to abolish this unreasonable and broken rule!"
Ahhhhh! Daddy is truly a role model for our generation! He's a pioneer who bravely fights against feudal ethics! So awesome!
Xia Miaoyuan's mouth trembled with excitement.
Hearing Emperor Mingxi's order, the servants no longer dared to stop him, and the door of the delivery room was opened in a flash.
The prince rushed in immediately.
Madam Rong, the Queen, and Concubine Rong also went in.
"Chu Yue, hold on!" The prince ran to the bed, grabbed Rong Chu Yue's hand, and said while holding back his tears.
"Your Highness, I have no strength left..." Rong Chuyue was dying, her face pale.
At this time, Nanny Song brought ginseng soup.
"Princess, drink some ginseng soup and you'll soon have strength again."
Without saying a word, the prince took the ginseng soup from Nanny Song's hand and carefully fed it into Rong Chuyue's mouth, spoonful by spoonful.
Rong Chuyue only felt a warmth rising in her heart and filling her chest.
"Chu Yue, I believe you can do it." The prince encouraged her while feeding her.
"Do you still remember what we agreed to when we first got married?"
"You said you wanted to have three children, and the eldest had to be a boy. That way he could protect his younger brothers and sisters."
"You also said that you would spend your whole life with me, growing old together."
"When we are old, we will sit hand in hand in the sunset every day."
"Now, our first child hasn't even been born yet. How can you say such discouraging words?"
The prince kept talking, and while he was talking, a small bowl of ginseng soup had already been fed.
When the Queen and the other two heard what the Crown Prince said, they were all quite moved for a moment.
Madam Rong walked to the bedside and said softly, "Chu Yue is the strongest. Mother believes you can do it!"
The Queen also said softly: "Chu Yue, Your Majesty, I, your parents, and your aunt are all with you. You can do it!"
At this time, I don’t know whether it was the comfort from the prince and everyone else, or the effect of the bowl of ginseng soup, but the princess seemed to be in much better spirits, and her almond-shaped eyes were brighter.
"Okay, I can do it!" The Crown Princess bit her lip and spoke word by word.
Seeing this, the Queen promptly pulled Madam Rong and Concubine Rong out first.
Apart from the midwife, Nanny Song, and a few maids, the only person left in the delivery room was the prince.
A maid had already brought a chair for the prince to sit on.
The prince sat next to the princess and held one of her hands tightly.
The Crown Princess sat up slightly and waited for the next wave of efforts.
She raised her eyes to the midwife and said, "Try again!"
The midwife was overjoyed to see the changes in the Crown Princess in such a short period of time.
"Okay!" The midwife nodded heavily.
Being a midwife in the imperial palace had always been a high-risk profession. If the delivery went smoothly, everything would be fine.
If the birth is difficult and the adult or child dies, the midwife's life will be in danger.
Seeing the Crown Princess losing strength just now, the midwife was so scared that she thought her death was coming.
"Princess, take a deep breath! Inhale, exhale, okay, inhale again."
The midwife patiently guided the Crown Princess to regulate her breathing.
After seeing her breathing become steady and strong, the midwife shouted loudly, "Crown Princess, push harder!"
The Crown Princess bit her lips tightly, one hand tightly grasping a cloth rope tied to the head of the bed, and the other hand tightly clasped with the Crown Prince's hand.
Looking at her face again, because of excessive force, veins on her forehead were bulging and her facial features were distorted.
"Chu Yue, come on, you can do it!" The prince encouraged gently.
"Great! I can see the baby's hair." The midwife shouted excitedly.
"Harder!"
The Crown Princess increased her strength, and her lips bled instantly.
At this time, everyone was waiting anxiously outside the delivery room, and Xia Miaoyuan was even more anxious.
At this moment, a sound of "Wow..." was heard.
"It's born! It's born! The Crown Princess is giving birth!" The midwife's loud voice also came out.
A weak smile appeared on the Crown Princess's face. She looked hard at the Crown Prince, as if she had a thousand words to say.
"Chu Yue, you are so amazing!" The prince held the princess's hand and cried with joy.
