Chapter 134
Hearing two cries in the room, He Qin, who was holding water, and Ling Si, who was carrying a medicine box, both stood at the door in a daze.
A child's voice?
Is this born?
Wasn’t the birth due in a few days? How come it happened early?
And so fast?
The two were stunned until Lu Xiaobai cried out, "He Qin, come quickly..."
He Qin then came to his senses and started running wildly.
Ling Si also turned around and shouted, "Everyone, get up, boil water, prepare clothes, and make ginseng soup. Hurry up."
Hearing the crying in the yard and Ling Si's words, Ling Yi jumped out of bed in an instant, grabbed his clothes and put them on while walking out.
Thirteen, Two, and Three also got up in a hurry...
He Qin rushed back to the room and saw Lu Xiaobai sitting on the bed. The quilt under him was completely wet with amniotic fluid and blood.
A wet boy was lying beside his legs, crying loudly, with the placenta still attached to his belly button. Lu Xiaobai was so scared that his face turned pale. He lay on the edge of the bed, crying and vomiting.
He Qin quickly wrapped Lu Xiaobai in clothes, then held him in his arms and sat aside, away from the bloody scene, gently coaxing him: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay."
Lu Xiaobai felt unwell. He leaned in He Qin's arms in a daze, sobbing weakly.
Ling Si quickly took a piece of cloth to wrap the baby, Ling Er brought some boiling water, put the scissors into the boiling water to disinfect them, then cut the baby's umbilical cord, gave him a bath and dressed him.
Lingyi quickly changed the sheets and quilts, Shisan boiled water in the kitchen, and Lingsan helped to bring the boiled water into Lu Xiaobai's room.
After packing up, Ling Si carried the child, who hadn't even had a single sip of milk, out. He Qin cleaned up Lu Xiaobai himself, washed off the blood, covered him with a blanket, and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Lu Xiaobai shook his head gently and said weakly, "It doesn't hurt, it's just scary. Suddenly, a lot of water came out. I wanted to change my pants, and he, he suddenly came out. That feeling was extremely scary. Besides being scary, I, I thought I had pooped..."
He knew that this was the effect of the pain-relieving candy Xiaobaicai had given him. He must have started to feel the need for labor when his stomach felt uncomfortable after dinner, and the labor symptoms only appeared when he had to go to the toilet in the middle of the night.
However, although he took the pain-free candy, which allowed him to give birth quickly without having to wait for the placenta and without pain, it was still a strenuous job. He was now exhausted and tired all over.
"It's a child, a boy, our Huaijin."
It's not something dirty.
He Qin grabbed Lu Xiaobai's hand and said distressedly, "Thank you for your hard work."
She had promised Lu Xiaobai that she would be by his side when he gave birth, but because it happened so soon he didn't expect it, so she didn't make it.
Moreover, since Lu Xiaobai gave birth so quickly, would he be in poor health?
He Qin was lost in thought, and Lu Xiaobai asked curiously, "Then, where's the child?"
"Outside, Zero Four."
He Qin turned around and shouted, and Ling Si immediately ran over from the kitchen holding the child: "Master, the little master is very healthy."
I only just remembered that there was a child there, and his masters are really good fathers.
After saying that, he handed the child to He Qin, who put it aside with disdain, and then said to Ling Si: "Take Xiaobai's pulse."
Ling Si hurried forward, opened his silk handkerchief, placed it on Lu Xiaobai's wrist and began to take his pulse.
After a few breaths, Ling Si withdrew his hand and said, "Master Xiaobai is in good health. Giving birth doesn't seem to have caused any harm to him. He doesn't need to take any care of himself, but he could use some nourishment. I've had someone make some ginseng soup, which will be brought over shortly."
Hearing that Lu Xiaobai was fine, He Qin finally felt relieved: "Well, go out. It's almost dawn. Find a midwife and ask a carpenter to make a crib for the baby."
Zero Four nodded: "Yes."
After He Qin gave the order, he turned around and found that Lu Xiaobai had already held the child in his arms. The most hateful thing was that the little guy was actually sucking milk next to his tattered clothes, and Lu Xiaobai had fallen asleep.
After a while of struggling, the sky became gray and it was almost dawn.
The child was full and fell asleep next to Lu Xiaobai.
Thirteen stood at the door holding the ginseng soup and said, "Master, the ginseng soup is ready."
"Come in."
He Qin held Lu Xiaobai in his arms and coaxed him in a low voice: "Get up and drink some soup, then go back to sleep."
Lu Xiaobai was too sleepy. He opened his eyes drowsily and followed He Qin's instructions to drink a bowl of ginseng soup before continuing to sleep.
After daybreak, Lingyi invited the midwife over and told her about last night's incident. The midwife then checked Lu Xiaobai's condition and said that everything was fine. Only then did everyone feel relieved.
Lu Xiaobai slept until noon before waking up. He opened his eyes and saw a child lying on his chest, feeding. He was so scared that he pushed him away and pulled his clothes to cover himself: "He Qin, He Qin..."
He Qin, who was sitting at the table reading a book, quickly turned around and sat down in front of the bed and asked, "What's wrong?"
The child he pushed away burst into tears instantly. Lu Xiaobai looked at the child and said in confusion, "It's really born!"
He Qin curled his lips: "Yes, it's born."
Lu Xiaobai curled his lips. If there hadn't been a child next to him, he would have thought that the fantastic experience last night was a dream.
He touched his flat stomach, his eyes lit up, and said happily, "You recovered so quickly, but, why are your breasts still so big?"
He Qin looked at the child waving his hands for milk and said, "Because I need to feed him."
Lu Xiaobai touched his chest and found that it was not as soft as before. Instead, it was hard and painful.
He asked Xiao Baicai in his mind: "I, I gave birth early, and my belly is..."
Xiao Baicai immediately jumped out happily: "Yes, congratulations to the host on the birth of your baby. The pain-free candy will also help you improve your immunity after giving birth, speed up your recovery, and enrich your milk supply. So the host's body is in great shape!"
Lu Xiaobai: "That's good, but why aren't my breasts recovering?"
Xiao Baicai: [That's what your husband said, because you need to breastfeed the child.]
And with more milk, how can the breasts be small?
Breastfeeding a child...
Lu Xiaobai asked helplessly: "Do we have to wait until the child grows up?"
Xiaobaicai: [Yes, unless the child refuses milk and eats rice porridge or goat milk.]
Lu Xiaobai: "Okay then."
Let's talk about this again in a few days. After all, little Huaijin has just been born. It seems a bit cruel to let him eat rice porridge.
"Aren't you happy that the baby is born?"
He Qin brought little Huaijin over. Although he didn't like the little guy breastfeeding, he was his son and the future of Nan He, so he had to endure it no matter how unhappy he was.
Lu Xiaobai nodded, then shook his head. He was neither unhappy nor happy, but rather had a feeling that he couldn't express.
At this time, He Qin put his arms around Lu Xiaobai's neck, lifted him up and sat him down, then put the child in his arms, picked up his clothes and put the child's head to his chest, and the child immediately opened his mouth and started eating.
Lu Xiaobai: ...
He Qin saw that Lu Xiaobai was a little uncomfortable, so he suppressed his smile and said, "You have to get used to it. He is your son. You can't let him starve to death, right?"
Lu Xiaobai slowly reached out and hugged the little child, nodding stiffly.
He also felt that his chest was very swollen and painful, but after the child ate it, it seemed to get much better and he felt more comfortable, and gradually he was less averse to it.
But he didn't want this feeling to last long and hoped to resolve it as soon as possible, so he opened his mouth and said, "Then after a few days, can I give him rice porridge or goat milk? I, I don't want to feed him milk..."
Rice porridge and goat milk?
He Qin thought about it with a serious face. He felt that this method was possible, but he needed to wait. Moreover, even if the child ate goat milk, Lu Xiaobai couldn't...
He Qin shook his head slightly and said seriously, "My eldest brother will never take a concubine, which means he will never have children. So, Huai Jin is the future of Nan He and will become the supreme monarch. Do you think it's appropriate for the monarch of Nan He to be fed goat milk and rice porridge from birth?"
Lu Xiaobai: ...
Seeing that he didn't say anything, He Qin asked again, "We can hire a wet nurse in the Imperial City, but can you bear to send Huai Jin away just after she was born?"
Of course I couldn't bear it, after all, he gave birth to her with so much effort.
Lu Xiaobai pouted, helplessly raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said, "Well, okay then."
The child is fair and tender, with a chubby face. He looks very cute and well-behaved, even though he gave birth to the child after such a long pregnancy.
It didn't hurt, but it almost scared him to death.
If he were to send her away now, he would really be reluctant to do so.
Moreover, many children died young in ancient times, and he was also worried that Huaijin would leave him and would not have the chance to grow up.
Lu Xiaobai hugged the child tightly and said aggrievedly: "Then, then feed."
He just had to endure it. He had endured it for so long with a big belly, so he could endure it now as well.
I don’t know if it was because of Xiaobaicai or because He Qin liked to suck milk, but Lu Xiaobai had plenty of milk, and Xiao Huaijin fell asleep after eating for a while.
But he only ate one side, and the other side was still untouched. Lu Xiaobai felt the bloating and pain unbearable. He put the child down and grabbed He Qin's hand and asked, "I feel uncomfortable, it hurts so much."
He Qin thought he had a stomachache, so he helped him lie down. "Does your stomach hurt? Then lie down first. I'll let Ling Si take a look."
"It's not a stomachache, I, I have a chestache."
As Lu Xiaobai spoke, he pulled He Qin's hand and placed it on his chest. He Qin pinched it subconsciously. Lu Xiaobai's face changed and he screamed, "It hurts, don't pinch it!"
Feeling the hard touch in his hand, He Qin realized that Lu Xiaobai had breast engorgement.
But Xiao Huaijin had already fallen asleep, so he had to do the talking.
But just as he was about to speak, he heard many footsteps outside the door. He Qin hurriedly helped Lu Xiaobai lie down, and he also sat upright in front of the bed.
Lu Xiaobai felt even more uncomfortable lying down, but he was too embarrassed to say anything because someone was outside the door.
I could only pull the quilt to cover myself and look at the door with a red face.
Sure enough, after a while, several middle-aged women and Qiu Ge'er came in.
Qiu Ge'er had the best relationship with Lu Xiaobai. He pulled a stool and sat in front of the bed and asked, "Why did you give birth so early, and on the first day of the Lunar New Year? Although it's a bit scary, it's a good day."
The other ladies followed suit and asked, "Yes, we were shocked when we heard that Bai Ge'er had given birth this morning."
Not only were the old ladies frightened, but Lu Xiaobai and He Qin were also frightened, and they almost lost their souls.
Lu Xiaobai blushed and was embarrassed to answer, but fortunately the ladies asked a few questions and then left, and He Qin went out to see them off.
Only Qiu Ge'er hadn't left yet. He asked some more intimate questions: "You just gave birth. Is your stomach still uncomfortable? Do you have enough milk for the baby?"
If there was not enough milk, he would go to the mountains to find some medicinal herbs to increase milk production and send them to Lu Xiaobai.
But when talking about milk, Lu Xiaobai's eyes were a little evasive as he said: "My stomach doesn't hurt anymore, and I have enough milk. It's just that it's very uncomfortable and painful."
"pain?"
Qiu Ge'er laughed instantly: "That's okay, just ask your husband to help you suck it at night."
suck?
Lu Xiaobai stared blankly at Qiu Ge'er. Qiu Ge'er smiled and said, "Okay, you should rest well after giving birth. I won't disturb you. I'll come back to see you after your full month and bring you something delicious."
After saying that, Qiu Ge'er left, and He Qin came in from outside.
Thinking of Qiu Ge'er's words, Lu Xiaobai's face was burning hot. No wonder after he told He Qin that it hurt, He Qin moved closer to his chest. It turned out that he wanted to suck on him.
He pulled the quilt over his face and asked in a muffled voice, "Is there any other way?"
He Qin paused for a few seconds before remembering what Lu Xiaobai had asked. He smiled and said, "No, only Huai Jin and I can help you."
Lu Xiaobai turned around, sticking out his little head and looking at the sleeping Huaijin. He curled his lips and felt that he was doomed.
The child's appetite is so small that he gets full after eating for a short while. He can't relieve himself at all, so He Qin has to take advantage of it.
Lu Xiaobai sighed helplessly and curled his lips. He lifted the quilt aggrievedly, patted the bed and said, "Then you, then come here."
He Qin nodded, then locked the door with a frown on his face...
