As everyone was looking forward to it, September arrived. The weather in September was excellent, with bright sunshine for several days in a row. The autumn air was clear and cool, and the weather was neither too cold nor too hot, which was perfect for climbing mountains.
But Qi Yuning could only miss such a good weather. As September 9th approached, Qi Yuning did not feel at all panicked about giving birth as if she was going through the gates of hell. She was more looking forward to finally meeting Lingling.
On the eighth day of September, Lu Ze took three consecutive days off.
In the afternoon, Qi Yuning, who was used to taking a nap every day, was not sleepy at all. She held Lu Ze's hand nervously, "You'll be able to see Lingling tomorrow. I don't know what Lingling will look like when she's just born! You must be the first to see her!"
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and said, "Yeah!"
Qi Yuning added, "Forget it, forget it. You shouldn't be the first to see Lingling. They say childbirth is difficult for women. I'm sure I'll be extremely ugly when I give birth. You and Lu Baozhu are not allowed to look at me!"
Lu Ze smiled softly and said, "What kind of look have I not seen you in? I've even seen you lose your teeth. I won't laugh at you."
Qi Yuning said: "No, you are not allowed to enter."
Lu Ze responded, "Okay, okay, I won't go in."
Qi Yuning fell asleep in anticipation and nervousness. She dreamed of many things that night, including her childbirth...
In the early morning of September 9th, she went into labor. She had difficulty giving birth for the entire day, with basins of blood being brought in and out. During the Beginning of Spring, Vernal Equinox, Grain Rain, and Waking of Insects, the eyes of several of the maids were red.
Qi Yuan'an, with his scruffy beard, was standing at the door, also looking very nervous.
Qi Yuning didn't see Lu Ze. She searched for a long time and finally found Lu Ze in a Taoist temple. Lu Ze was kneeling in front of the statue of Laojun with an upright posture, as if praying.
A young Taoist priest handed Lu Ze a jade pendant and said, "Master Lu, this is the Lanling Warm Jade my master gave you, which is worth thousands of gold."
Lu Ze touched the small jade lock in his hand and hurried to Prince Qi's mansion.
After entering Prince Qi's Mansion, he heard a loud cry. He ignored the obstruction of the servants in Prince Qi's Mansion and entered Qi Yuning's room. His eyes were not on the child beside him, but only stared at Qi Yuning, who was weak and about to faint.
Afterwards, Lu Ze was driven out of the delivery room by the maids who reacted quickly.
Lu Ze handed the jade pendant to Qi Yu'an, "This is the jade pendant I begged from Taoist He."
Qi Yu'an took the jade pendant and looked at it. "Yiling? Why is her name Yiling?"
Lu Ze said, "The princess once said that if it was a daughter, she would name her Yiling, Lu Yiling."
…
When Qi Yuning woke up, it was already noon. Although she had slept for a long time, she felt very tired, as if she had really given birth to a child in her dream.
Qi Yuning touched her belly, but there was still no movement.
Lu Ze saw Qi Yuning wake up and said beside her, "It's morning."
Qi Yuning said, "It's already noon, why hasn't Lingling come out yet? I dreamed last night that I had a difficult labor, so I won't have a difficult labor anytime soon..."
Lu Ze pouted twice and said, "No!"
