Chapter 255 Production
Days passed, and finally it was time for the rain to fall.
There were bursts of mournful cries coming from Qingyu Palace. Palace servants were coming in and out, bringing in basins of clean water and taking out basins of blood.
At the door of the bedroom, Liang Qingchen, Liang Jinghe, Liang Jingtang, and Nanxing were running around in a panic.
Liang Jingtang had never seen such a scene before. He held Liang Jinghe and Nanxing's hands and felt cold all over.
She asked worriedly, "Brother, Mom seems to be in a lot of pain, is anything going to happen?"
Nan Xing comforted her, "It's like this for women when they give birth. It will be fine after the pain. Don't worry. Your Majesty is blessed by heaven. Both mother and child will be safe."
Liang Jinghe agreed: "Yes, the Queen Mother has always been in good health, she will be fine."
He said this, but his palms were still soaked with cold sweat.
After Tangtang felt it, she silently withdrew her hand and wiped it on her clothes.
Inside, Jiang Muyu was sweating profusely from the pain and almost had no strength to scream. Yun Yan wiped her sweat and comforted her in her ears: "My queen, it's okay, it will be better soon, just hold on a little longer."
The midwife called out, "Please help, my lady, please help, the baby has already appeared."
Jiang Muyu followed the doctor's instructions, adjusting her breathing while trying hard. But the tearing pain spread throughout her limbs and bones. She fainted several times and was awakened by the pain. Tears kept falling out like pearls from a broken string.
"It hurts so much... I never want to have a child again..."
Yunyan couldn't help crying beside her. She gently wiped the mixed tears and sweat from her face and said with a sob, "It was really painful for the queen to give birth to a child."
"Hold on a little longer, my lady. It will be all right in a little while."
She sobbed and wailed, "It keeps coming one after another. When will this ever stop?"
However, after her cry, a louder and sharper cry covered her voice.
All I heard was the midwife shouting with joy: "My queen, the baby is born, it's a little prince, my queen..."
Jiang Muyu only saw a bloody thing getting closer and closer to her, and her vision became more and more blurred. She couldn't even take a look at her newborn baby before she could hold on any longer and fainted completely.
Outside the door, Liang Qingchen heard the baby crying and paced back and forth more nervously, until Doctor Yu came out of the bedroom and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Empress has given birth to a little prince."
Liang Qingchen almost flew over at a lightning speed, grabbed Doctor Yu's shoulder and asked, "Where is the Queen? How is the Queen?"
Doctor Yu was shaken by him and his eyes were blurry. He said quickly, "The queen is fine, the queen is fine, the mother and child are safe."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a shadow passing by, and there was no trace of Liang Qingchen in front of him.
Before Doctor Yu could come to his senses, he was suddenly knocked back 180 degrees and hit the stone pillar next to him.
Liang Jinghe and Nanxing shouted at the same time: "Sorry, sorry." Then they hurriedly dragged Tangtang into the bedroom.
Jiang Muyu had been moved from the delivery bed to a clean bed that had been prepared on the other side. Yun Yan had just changed her clothes when she heard the palace maids greeting her. When she raised her head, Liang Qingchen was already beside the bed.
"How's Zhaozhao?" His tone was full of worry.
Yun Yan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the queen is fine. She just used too much energy during the birthing process and passed out from exhaustion. Doctor Yu said that she will be fine after a good sleep."
He was obviously relieved and pulled the quilt covering her up, "It's okay, it's okay."
He looked like a survivor, as if he was the one who had just given birth in there.
Yun Yan smiled helplessly and was about to persuade him to at least ask about the child's condition, but the next second, three figures rushed over.
The three of them said in unison: "How is the mother?"
Liang Qingchen made a "huh" gesture and soothed her, "She's fine, she just fell asleep. Keep your voices down and don't disturb her."
The three of them fell silent at the same time.
Tangtang went over to take a look at Jiang Muyu, and was relieved to make sure she was fine. She turned around and asked Yunyan: "Where is the little brother? Can I see him?"
Finally someone came to ask about the little prince, and Yun Yan was very relieved. "The little prince was taken away by the nanny to be cleaned, and will be sent back soon."
The three of them voluntarily left the inner room and waited outside.
Soon, the nanny came over with a baby sleeping in a cradle and put the baby in the crib that had been prepared long ago. The three of them all rushed forward.
Tangtang frowned: "Why is this thing so ugly?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is your biological brother." Liang Jinghe slapped her in the face without hesitation and said, "You were uglier than him when you were born."
"Hmm..." Tangtang covered her head and pouted, "Brother, you are lying. I am so pretty, how can this ugly thing compare to me? Look at his wrinkled skin, he looks like a little old man."
Nanxing smiled and said, "Tangtang, don't disbelieve me. The uglier a baby is when it is born, the prettier it will be when it grows up."
"Ah?" After hearing Nanxing say this, Tangtang was still half-believing and half-doubting: "Then how ugly must I have been when I was a child?"
Nan Xing patted her head lovingly and said, "He should be much uglier than the little prince."
Then he turned to Liang Jinghe and asked, "Is that right?"
Liang Jinghe met Tangtang's burning gaze and nodded helplessly: "Yes, Tangtang was the ugliest when she was born, but now she has grown up and looks like a fairy."
Tangtang was so happy that she began to like the baby in the crib more and stopped calling him an ugly thing.
"Little brother, you must grow up to be more handsome than your father and brothers in the future."
…
Jiang Muyu slept until noon the next day.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he met Liang Qingchen's tired eyes. His voice was a little hoarse: "Zhao Zhao, you are awake, are you hungry or thirsty?"
She shook her head and tried to get up. "Are you just going to stay by the bed like this?"
"Yes." Liang Qingchen helped her up, took a soft pillow and placed it on her back, and said softly: "I asked the kitchen to make some soft and glutinous meat porridge, you can eat some to replenish your strength."
Jiang Muyu raised her hand to touch his eyebrows and said distressedly, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Compared to your hard work, this is nothing."
After helping Jiang Muyu rinse his mouth, Yun Yan went outside to bring in the porridge.
"Let me do it." Liang Qingchen picked up the porcelain bowl, scooped a spoonful of porridge, blew on it, and then fed it to her mouth when he saw that the temperature was about right.
Jiang Muyu opened her mouth and ate it. She raised her eyes slightly and looked at how seriously he was serving her. Suddenly, she felt that all the pain she had endured was worth it.
But, let’s be honest.
She still couldn't help but say, "I don't want to have any more children in the future. Whoever wants to have children can have them."
Liang Qingchen nodded in agreement: "Well, I won't give birth. It's really too painful."
"I'm the one who gave birth to the child, why are you so fond of me?"
He grabbed her hand, placed it on his chest, and said aggrievedly, "I feel bad."
Jiang Muyu was really amused by him.
