Chapter 553 Bruise
It was already late, and Yun didn't let anyone know about it because she was afraid that Shen Wan would return to Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
Princess Jiangling is having her first child, so she can't expect it soon. Chen Wan already has two children and is pregnant, so it's inconvenient for her to stay overnight at Duke Dingguo's mansion. Yun is reluctant to let Chen Wan travel back and forth.
By the time Chen Wan knew about Princess Jiangling's attack, it was already the next morning.
After breakfast, Shen Wan took a carriage back to Duke Dingguo's Mansion. When she arrived, Princess Yong also happened to be there.
How could a mother not be there when her daughter was about to give birth? As someone who had experienced this, she knew that every woman would experience labor pains during childbirth, but when she heard Princess Jiangling's cries of pain, Princess Yong still felt extremely distressed.
Both Chen Yu and Chen Wan gave birth directly when their water broke, but Princess Jiang Ling saw her period first and gave birth more slowly.
Chen Wan accompanied Yun and waited outside the delivery room. Just in case, they asked Imperial Physician Lin to take charge. Dean Zhao was the director of the Imperial Hospital and was responsible for the emperor's health. He could not stay in Duke Dingguo's Mansion all the time. With Imperial Physician Lin around, if Dean Zhao was really needed, it would not be too late to send someone to invite him.
Princess Jiangling gave birth very slowly. She gave birth from yesterday afternoon until dawn, and was in pain from dawn until noon. It was almost evening.
"Why did it take so long..."
Princess Yong was extremely anxious.
The slower the birth, the greater the chance of a difficult labor.
Once a difficult birth occurs, it is rare for mother and child to remain safe.
Princess Yong was worried, as was Yun. Chen Wan comforted them, saying, "Just be patient and wait. Maybe the baby will be born soon..."
Yun looked at the sunset in the sky, which was as brilliant as a blazing fire.
It was just like her anxious heart.
Yun Shi didn't forget that Chen Wan still had two children. She said, "You have been waiting with your mother for a whole day. Mo'er Ran'er must miss you. Go back to the Jingbei Palace. Your sister-in-law has given birth. I will send someone to tell you the good news."
Shen Wan said, "It's still early, I'll wait with mother and Princess Yong for a while."
Although the birth took a long time, the midwife did not rush out. Doctor Lin went in twice to check Princess Jiangling's pulse and prescribed medicine to induce labor. She had taken it for nearly an hour, so the baby should be born soon.
Shen Wan prayed in her heart. At this moment, the door of the delivery room opened and the maid came out and said, "The midwife said that the princess is dilated. If it's fast, she will give birth in half an hour."
Waiting is the most torturous thing. This half hour feels longer than a whole day.
However, half an hour passed and Princess Jiangling did not give birth. Just when everyone was worried, a shrill scream spread.
A loud cry was heard.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon the midwife came out to announce the good news, "Congratulations to the wife of Duke Dingguo, congratulations to the Princess of Yong, the princess has given birth to a little master..."
Yun asked, "Where is the princess? Is she okay?"
The midwife said, "Based on my twenty to thirty years of midwifery experience, the princess is fine, but she's tired."
But even so, we dare not take it lightly.
The midwife returned home to help clean up the child and the mother, and then brought the child out for everyone to see.
The child is not light, weighing 7.4 jin.
Looking at the child's eyebrows and eyes, Yun was very happy. "These eyebrows and eyes are exactly like the ones when Li'er was born."
Mother Chen smiled and said, "Not only does he look like the prince, but even his weight at birth was the same."
Yun held the child tightly and refused to let go.
Princess Yong touched the child's hand and went in to see her daughter, Princess Jiangling.
Shen Wan was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to go to the delivery room. It was really late, so she prepared to leave. "Mom, I'm going back first. Please tell my sister-in-law that I'll come back to see her in a few days."
Yun asked the maid to escort Shen Wan out of the house.
When the Empress Dowager passed away, the Emperor observed mourning for twenty-seven days, and no wedding ceremonies were allowed outside the palace for a hundred days.
Therefore, the baby’s third-day bathing ceremony was kept simple, and there was no full-moon banquet.
Chen Wan didn't have much morning sickness during her last pregnancy, but this time, it was severe, so severe that even a certain prince felt nauseous during the morning court session.
Although he didn't reach the point of vomiting, he was fine at the morning court, but suddenly felt like vomiting, which attracted the attention of all the officials.
At first, Xiao Huaijin thought he was sick, but after Zhao Yuanzheng and several imperial physicians took his pulse, they found that he was in good health. Finally, he realized that it might be the induction between the twins.
After all, Shen Wan was about to give birth, and his hips were a little painful.
This time, even without Prince Yuzhang's instigation, Xiao Huaijin wanted to hang his brother-in-law up and beat him.
Chen Wan vomited for a whole month and a half, but the strange thing was that she only vomited in the morning and vomited everything she ate, but she ate everything happily at noon and in the evening. When the baby was three months old, she no longer had morning sickness.
In mourning for the Empress Dowager, no one in Kyoto held banquets or weddings, and Shenwan lived a very quiet life.
She would go to the palace once every two weeks to pay her respects to the emperor and have meals with him. She would go to Lin's house on the second day after entering the palace and spend the rest of the time in the house with her two children.
Since I can't hold them, I can only spend more time with them. The two little guys are growing so fast. After learning to roll over, they roll over and over in bed. They can't sit up yet, but they should be able to soon.
Xie Jingyu had been away from Beijing for two whole months, and Chen Wan had not received a single letter from home, nor had she written one.
Xie Jingyu went to Dongliang to find the princess, so it was impossible for him to send a letter back to her from Dongliang. Chen Wan also couldn't send a letter to Dongliang. If she didn't know that Xie Jingyu went to Dongliang, she would be able to thrive there. Otherwise, she would be really worried.
It's been so long, he should have found the princess by now, but I don't know when he'll be able to come back...
The weather was very good that day, with big white clouds floating in the blue sky.
Seeing that the weather was getting hotter day by day, and thinking that it would be inconvenient for her to go to the palace when she got heavier, Shen Wan wanted to go to the palace to pay her respects to the emperor.
Whenever the emperor thought of his daughter, he couldn't help scolding a certain son-in-law. Before, Chen Wan was pregnant with Mo'er Ran'er, so she couldn't often come to the palace to pay her respects to him, the father. She thought that she could often come to the palace after the child was born, but she got pregnant again. Who else could he scold but him?
I left Beijing to look for Princess Jingbei, but I still haven't found her after two months. When did my ability to do things become so poor?
Last time the emperor asked about Mo'er and Ran'er, this time Shen Wan simply brought both children into the palace.
The emperor was very happy to see his daughter and grandson.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne, playing with a rattle to entertain the child. Xiao Xizi came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Yuzhang wants to see you."
How did Prince Yuzhang enter the palace to see the emperor?
It's no wonder that Chen Wan was curious, because the Prince of Yuzhang had no official position and was notoriously unreliable.
He came to see the emperor, and one couldn't help but be curious about why he came.
The emperor was in a good mood and said, "Let him in."
Xiao Xizi left, and soon the Prince of Yuzhang came in.
He came in with his arm slung.
There were some bruises on his forehead, obviously from another fight.
Although it was common for Prince Yuzhang to fight with others, there were probably not many cases where he was beaten so badly.
Shen Wan's eyes hurt from watching this, and the emperor's brows were twisted into a ball, "Who hit you?"
"My father..."
The voice was winding and full of grievance.
Since the Prince of Yuzhang was not innocent in any of the beatings, no one dared to sympathize with him before finding out the reason for the beating, for fear of sympathizing with him and hurting the horse's hoof.
The emperor asked, "Are you here to file a complaint against your father?"
Prince Yuzhang shook his head, "I dare not. I came to ask for permission to go to the border to fight."
Shen Wan, “…???”
emperor,"……???"
The Prince of Yuzhang looked like he had a broken arm. If he went to the battlefield, the emperor was really worried that he would be killed.
This unreliability has become deeply rooted in people's minds.
The emperor said, "Why don't you just stay in Kyoto and be a good prince? Why do you want to go to the battlefield?"
The Prince of Yuzhang County was almost in tears. "There is no place for me in Prince Teng's Mansion. Please allow me, the prince of Linjiang Marquis, and the son of the Minister of War to go to the border together."
