Chapter 641 No Money Required
After much deliberation, He Yanxiu finally turned his attention to the palace.
Whether it is the imperial physician or the midwife who are selected to enter the palace, they are all carefully selected, extremely experienced and do things very safely.
So be sure to get a few extra to keep with you, just in case!
He Yanxiu thought so and found a suitable time in the afternoon to enter the palace.
Qin Yishu was reviewing memorials in the inner hall of Chongyang Palace. When he learned that He Yanxiu was coming, he let him in.
"Your Highness, long live the emperor." As soon as He Yanxiu came in, he bowed solemnly.
Moreover, he behaved in a proper manner, spoke in clear and loud voices.
This look frightened Qin Yishu so much that he almost dropped the pen he was marking the memorials with. His eyes widened. After looking at He Yanxiu for a moment, he lowered his head and thought for a long time.
This kid hasn't been to the palace for a while, but he suddenly came today and acted so pretentiously...
Yes, the New Year is coming soon!
He is the king of a country, but he is also the uncle of He Yanxiu, so he can be considered an elder.
Most likely you are here to ask for New Year's money! "Get up." Qin Yishu raised his hand, "How much money do you want from me today?"
Ask directly, so that the child won't argue with him here! "Your Majesty misunderstood. I am not here to ask for money today. Please rest assured, Your Majesty." He Yanxiu replied with a bow.
I'm not here to ask for money...
Qin Yishu suddenly felt relieved, and his whole body leaned back unconsciously, "So what brings you here today?"
"To be honest with Your Majesty, Princess Ping'an is about to give birth, and there is not enough manpower in the family. Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty for a few experienced imperial doctors, female doctors, and midwives to help Princess Ping'an give birth smoothly." He Yanxiu said in a clear voice.
"It's about this matter." Qin Yishu felt more and more relaxed, and just nodded in agreement, "It's not a big deal, you just need to ask the queen and let her arrange it for you."
As long as you're not asking for money, everything else is fine! "Thank you, Your Majesty." He Yanxiu knelt down to thank him. When he raised his head, his eyes rolled around. "Your Majesty, I would like to ask for some ginseng, deer antlers and other medicinal materials to prepare for Princess Ping'an's delivery."
"If you need anything, just write a list and give it to Minghai, and ask him to send someone to the Imperial Hospital to get it."
Since the people have already been sent over, there's nothing wrong with giving them some more medicinal herbs or something.
After all, this was Princess Ping'an's first birth, and He Yanxiu was extremely happy to be a father for the first time. However, Qin Yishu, as someone who had experienced this, could understand why he felt so nervous and felt that he was not well prepared in every way.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." He Yanxiu bowed again, "I will go and see the Queen now. Please arrange some personnel for me. I will take my leave now."
"Go." Qin Yishu just waved his hand to signal He Yanxiu to leave quickly, and then continued to review the memorials on the case.
It was already evening by the time he had finished reviewing the mountain of memorials.
Qin Yishu asked someone to prepare a sedan chair and went to the Queen's palace for dinner.
"Your Majesty, you came at the perfect time. I just finished my work." The Queen said with a smile, "If Your Majesty had come earlier, I'm afraid I would have been busy."
"I know you'll have to take the trouble to choose, so I came a little late." Qin Yishu said, "Have you prepared everything for Yan Xiu?"
"Everything is ready." The Queen nodded. "The imperial physician who will assist Imperial Physician Xue in seeing patients, the female doctor who will take care of her on a daily basis, the midwife during childbirth, and the fabrics and gold items that Yan Xiu requested are all ready and will be sent over tomorrow."
Cloth and gold?
Qin Yishu was stunned for a moment, and after realizing what was going on, he gritted his teeth.
He Yanxiu is He Yanxiu. The spit fell on the ground and created a hole.
If you say you don't want money, then you don't want money! No problem! The people and things in the palace were delivered to the He family the next day.
Su Yujin looked at the people standing in the yard and the things placed there, and immediately realized that this was He Yanxiu's idea, and she burst out laughing.
But when he thought of He Yanxiu's intention, he felt relieved and just accepted them all.
The weather is getting colder day by day. In the coldest days of winter, water turns into ice.
After the coldest days of the 49th day have passed, New Year's Eve arrives on the fourth day of the 59th day.
Families are reunited and the whole world celebrates. On New Year's Eve, every household is noisy and lively.
The sound of firecrackers during the Chinese New Year begins at midnight on the first day of the New Year, and the crackling sounds continue intermittently until the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, when they are replaced by various firecrackers and fireworks.
After the 17th day of the first lunar month, all officials’ holidays ended and they resumed their daily routine of going to the government office.
At this time, Su Yujin was still more than ten days away from her due date.
He Yanxiu was worried about Su Yujin's delivery, so he went to the Ministry of Revenue to arrange all matters, big and small, for the first few days. Then he asked for leave from the emperor and stayed at home to accompany Su Yujin.
Su Yujin's belly is getting bigger and bigger now. She needs to hold her belly with both hands to walk. Fortunately, Su Yujin pays great attention to physical exercise. She can still walk back and forth in the yard every morning and evening.
"You're not feeling well. You should rest more." He Yanxiu said as he supported Su Yujin carefully.
"The closer you are to giving birth, the more you need to move around." Su Yujin explained with a smile, "If you keep being lazy now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the baby to enter the pelvis during delivery."
Su Yujin did not stop walking while speaking, but because of the movement of the fetus in her belly, she hurriedly supported her belly and even squatted down.
"Are you okay?" He Yanxiu hurriedly supported her, full of worry, "Are you going to give birth?"
"No." Su Yujin took two deep breaths and calmed down. "But the little guy in my belly..."
Before she finished her words, Su Yujin felt a pain in her stomach.
It's the kind of dull pain that seems to come from the deepest part of the stomach.
The pain came for a moment, then soon disappeared, but it started to hurt again after a while.
After this kind of pain continued for several times, Su Yujin held He Yanxiu's hand even tighter and gritted her teeth, "Help me in quickly..."
Seeing Su Yujin's frown, pale face, and hands tightly holding her stomach, He Yanxiu immediately understood the situation.
While helping Su Yujin into the house, he called Qingkui and Shuilan over and asked them to quickly go get the imperial physician and call the midwife.
After Su Yujin entered the room, she took off her coat and carefully judged the intervals between the contractions. Feeling that there was still a long time to go, she asked Qingkui and Shuilan to prepare hot water for her to bathe.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, when her hair was almost dry after being wrung out with a dry towel, Su Yujin realized that the pain in her abdomen had reached a certain intensity, and the interval between them was about three to five minutes, so she got up.
