Chapter 147: A stillbirth?
Prince's Mansion.
The ninth day of the second month.
After Xie Yao had breakfast, she was reading in the study with Xiao Ji.
Suddenly I felt something was wrong.
It seemed as if some warm liquid was flowing down my thighs uncontrollably...
She raised her head suddenly, grabbed Xiao Ji's sleeve, and said with a slightly pale face, "Your Highness."
"I think... I'm about to give birth."
What?
Xiao Ji froze in place for a moment, feeling as if his entire brain had crashed.
What happened?
Xie Yao bit her lower lip lightly, and her face turned pale instantly. Xiao Ji finally reacted, picked up Xie Yao by the waist, and walked towards the main courtyard steadily and quickly...
As soon as he went out, he said to the people waiting outside: "Come here, the Crown Princess is about to give birth!"
Only those who are very familiar with him can hear the panic and tremor in his voice.
Xie Yao was held in Xiao Ji's arms and didn't feel much pain.
But her eyes were still red, and she pulled Xiao Ji's sleeve with her little hand and called him in a low voice, "Your Highness..."
Big beads of sweat appeared on Xiao Ji's forehead, and he was visibly anxious, but he still spoke to comfort her.
"Don't be afraid, I'm alone."
"I'm always here."
As Xiao Ji spoke, he had already carried Xie Yao into the main room. He gently placed her on the bed and held her hand.
"Yaoyao, be good and don't be afraid."
Xie Yao's eyes were filled with tears and she sobbed softly, looking like a fragile porcelain doll.
The main courtyard was already busy at this moment, with countless servants running around.
Madam Zhao personally went to the main courtyard to take charge, and then she realized something was wrong, "Where is His Highness?"
The servants in the room stammered, "Your Highness...is inside with the Crown Princess."
Since ancient times, has there ever been a man entering the delivery room during childbirth?
But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had made up his mind, and they did not dare to interfere.
At this moment, he just looked at Old Madam Zhao eagerly, hoping that the old lady would say something.
Old Madam Zhao was stunned for only a moment, then she started to smile, her eyes full of relief.
Yaoyao could actually make the prince so distressed...
No problem.
She is in charge outside.
The old lady instructed everyone, "In this case, everyone should do their job and make preparations as previously agreed."
"When the Crown Princess gives birth safely, Your Highness and the Crown Princess will be generously rewarded."
The old lady's voice was steady.
It immediately put everyone at ease.
During these days, whether it was the old lady, Madam Xu, or the housekeeper in the mansion, they all told them what to do when the Crown Princess gave birth.
As a result, the entire Prince's Mansion quickly began to operate efficiently.
The Zhao family arrived quickly, and the Xie family was no less quick. Although Zhang still looked a little haggard, she still hurriedly brought a few maids with her.
The maid behind her was carrying several large baskets.
Meeting the Zhao family's gaze, Zhang explained, "These are all items prepared for the Crown Princess and the child."
Could Zhang be so kind?
Although the Zhao family had doubts, they did not ask too many questions at such a critical moment.
Zhang then gave the servants a look and said, "Go and put the things down."
inside the house.
The midwives and female doctors were waiting on the side, making their own preparations.
Xie Yao was lying on the soft and fragrant big bed.
Xiao Ji interlocked his fingers with hers with one hand, and with the other hand, he held a wrung-out hot towel and gently wiped the sweat off her forehead.
Xie Yao...had given birth to a child in her previous life.
Given her physique, the pain she felt would be minimized and she could give birth very quickly. Even though her conditions in her previous life were extremely poor, she was able to give birth to twins safely without much suffering.
Not to mention this life.
She was pampered, the weight of her unborn baby was under control, and Xiao Ji led her in physical exercise.
I don’t know how much stronger my physical foundation is than in my previous life.
but……
But she felt that this time it was more painful, more hurtful and more aggrieved.
"Your Highness."
She groaned in a low voice, "It hurts."
Xiao Ji felt extremely distressed, his eyes were red, he lowered his head and kissed Xie Yao's forehead, "It's all my fault."
If it weren't for him, Yaoyao wouldn't have suffered such a great sin.
If he had known Yaoyao's physique earlier... he would have taken some measures to prevent Yaoyao from suffering like this.
"We won't have another baby next time." Xiao Ji said, "We won't have another baby next time..."
Xiao Ji was more like this.
Xie Yao felt more and more aggrieved.
She knew clearly in her heart that all of this was what she asked for and planned, but she felt wronged at the moment.
The whole person looks more and more delicate.
Xie Yao didn't suffer much. She went into orgasm in the morning and her cervix was fully dilated by noon.
"Head, the baby's head is out!"
The midwife's joyful voice rang out.
Everyone came over, wanting to greet the young master as soon as possible, but Xiao Ji didn't even look over there.
He held Xie Yao's hand tightly and looked directly into her eyes, his eyes full of love and fear.
Only he himself knows the fear in his heart.
Although his mother was poisoned, she did die less than a month after giving birth to him.
Ever since he knew Xie Yao was pregnant, he had been looking at her as if she were his eyeball, feeling scared and terrified.
He wanted his Crown Princess to be safe.
"Wow……"
Soon, crying sounds were heard and the sound spread outside, and everyone showed joy.
"It's the young master, it's the young master!"
"Congratulations, His Royal Highness, and the Crown Princess. It's a young prince!"
“…”
Amid the joy, no one let down their guard.
The court physician had already said that the Crown Princess was pregnant with twins!
Now that one has spoken, the second one will naturally go smoothly...
Soon, another cry was heard.
This voice was even louder than the previous one, and the midwife said happily: "It's a girl. Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess, you have a son and a daughter!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone followed suit and congratulated.
"Congratulations, His Royal Highness, and Congratulations, His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness."
"Both sons and daughters."
Xiao Ji held Xie Yao's hand tightly, but he finally looked up at everyone and said, "Reward."
“Everyone will be rewarded!”
Everyone started to get busy. The midwife held the two little ones in her arms, showed them to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, and then took the children away to clean up.
Because they are twins, although the two children are healthy, they are not very big or heavy.
After all, it was too big and Xie Yao's body couldn't bear it.
Xiao Ji didn't leave.
He stayed by Xie Yao's side, never leaving her side the entire time.
"Your Highness."
Xie Yao no longer felt any pain at this moment, she was just a little weak as she had just given birth.
She asked timidly: "Did I just look... ugly?"
Giving birth requires all your strength, so naturally, your expression will be grim...
"nonsense."
Xiao Ji interrupted her and looked at her seriously, "In my heart, Yaoyao is always the prettiest."
Xie Yao believed it.
A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and with the support of Xiao Ji, she drank the nourishing ginseng soup in small sips.
Xiao Ji kissed the back of her hand lovingly, "Go to sleep. I will stay with Yaoyao."
now.
penthouse.
The midwives were wiping and cleaning the bodies of the two little masters.
At this moment, a figure appeared at the side door, "His Highness asked you to collect your reward."
"I'll be watching here, you guys go first."
The midwives were overjoyed and immediately went out happily. As they walked away, another person carrying a basket came out from behind a corner.
He took two steps at a time and walked through the door.
The man was wearing a thick veil and looked a little bloated. He walked quickly to the two small beds that had been wrapped up.
Looking at the two delicate and beautiful babies in the cradle, she was about to take out the handkerchief stained with sleeping pills from her sleeve.
But the little guy not only didn't cry, but also grinned at her.
Seems to be laughing...
She was stunned for a moment, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes, and then she put down the basket in her hand.
Lifting the brocade covering the basket, inside was a swaddling cloth of the same color...
…
Xie Yao felt a little tired, but not sleepy. She drank the ginseng soup and didn't fall asleep.
The servants were busy cleaning her body, changing her into clean clothes, changing the bedding in the room, and getting rid of the bloody smell...
"Princess."
Zhu Qing hurried in and whispered something in Xie Yao's ear.
A cold look flashed across Xie Yao's eyes, and she nodded at Zhu Qing.
Without waiting for Xie Yao to give any instructions.
Yuyan's voice came from outside, "Your Highness, Crown Princess."
"Princess Yongle, the eldest princess, the third prince, and Li Dajian are all here..."
No matter how the royal family speculated about the child in Xie Yao's belly, it was a private matter.
You always have to do your best to ensure that the surface is well-prepared.
Besides...
After hearing what Zhu Qing said just now, Xie Yao didn't think that it was a coincidence that these people came together.
Xie Yao said: "Please."
The Third Prince and Li Dajian were naturally not allowed to enter the inner room, but Princess Yongle and the eldest princess came in to take a look at Xie Yao.
"I heard they are twins." Princess Yongle said, "You have worked hard."
Xiao Ning didn't say anything, but just looked Xie Yao up and down, making Xie Yao extremely uncomfortable.
This look...
It was as if she was a commodity being sold at a price.
Xiao Ning had indeed thought this in her mind. It was not like she had not seen women who had just given birth. Most of them looked haggard and in a miserable state.
But Xie Yao...
Having just given birth to twins, she doesn't look haggard at all. Instead, she looks more plump and beautiful, with her eyes full of charm.
He is truly gifted.
Xie Yao ignored Xiao Ning's uncomfortable look and whispered back to Princess Yongle, "Thank you for your concern, aunt. The birth went smoothly."
Princess Yongle naturally understood. She patted Xie Yao's hand and glanced at Xiao Ji...
I sighed softly in my heart, after all, I wasn't very enthusiastic.
Xiao Ji's body...
She is also an insider.
She also felt a bit of sympathy for Xie Yao and the twins. Besides, judging from the situation, it was clear that the prince was enjoying it.
Someone came inside to see Xie Yao, while the Third Prince and Li Dajian came outside to see the two little ones.
Li Dajian was staring at one of the babies in the cradle in a daze.
So...so similar!
A sharp voice rang in my ears, "Oh my God! Is it dead?"
"My eldest sister, did she give birth to a stillborn baby?"
