Chapter 148 Where is my son?
"Your Highness, I've asked around, and it's like this with all women giving birth."
Concubine Fang detailed her arrangements. When she mentioned being kicked out of the courtyard by Li Susu, Concubine Fang said, "Your Highness, don't blame Sister Li. Sister Li is giving birth."
Concubine Fang said that she didn't blame him, but when she said this, she was actually secretly complaining.
"Nonsense."
Chu Cong entered the yard and heard the shouting in the house. Chu Cong asked someone, "Doctor Lin, how is it?"
Doctor Lin looked at Chu Cong and bowed quickly, saying, "Your Highness, Concubine Li is having a difficult birth. I have already had medicine and ginseng soup prepared, which will surely help Concubine Li give birth safely."
"Didn't they say that the delivery would take about ten days? How come it's ahead of schedule?" Chu Cong asked in a deep voice.
"this……"
Doctor Lin hesitated for a moment. Nanny Hua, knowing that the prince had arrived, came out to report, "Your Highness, Concubine Li previously consumed water chestnut cake, which is known to have a cold nature. Could this be the cause?"
"Doctor Lin?"
Chu Cong didn't understand these, so he just looked at Doctor Lin and asked.
Doctor Lin bowed and said, "Your Highness, I took Madam Li's pulse earlier and it seems she took something that induced labor."
Inducing labor?
Chu Cong's eyebrows darkened instantly and he said, "Qingwu, check."
Youlan Courtyard.
"What's going on at Fontaine Courtyard? Is the baby born?"
Shen Lingshu asked. She had just visited the twins. The two sisters had eaten their fill and were now fast asleep.
"She hasn't given birth yet. The prince just passed away."
Zhu Xin replied, "Aunt Li even chased Concubine Fang out of the courtyard."
"This is because they are afraid that Concubine Fang will harm her."
Shen Lingshu stood up and said, "Let's go to Fengdanyuan."
"Master." Zhu thought to himself: Master, there is no need to go, lest you be framed.
"I'm the only one in the mansion who has given birth before. I have experience."
As Shen Lingshu spoke, she went to Fengdan Courtyard. Before she arrived, she faintly heard the shouting. She paused for a moment: "Zhu Xin, when I gave birth to An An and the others, I didn't shout like this, right?"
"No, the master's voice is much more pleasant than hers, and it doesn't sound like she's butchering a pig."
Zhu Xin listened carefully and then said, "Besides, the master only shouted a few times, not non-stop like this."
"That's good."
Shen Lingshu breathed a sigh of relief. She strode into Fengdan Courtyard. In the courtyard, Chu Cong had a cold and distant face, but a hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes as he looked at him.
She stepped forward to pay her respects and said, "Your Highness, I just learned that Concubine Li is about to give birth. I have given birth before, so can I go in and help Concubine Li?"
Chu Cong was anxious. Looking at Shen Lingshu's worried look, he said, "Lingshu, go in and talk to Li."
"yes."
When Shen Lingshu entered the house, the smell of blood hit her face. There were two midwives, one was pressing her belly and the other was reaching out to touch the child. Li Susu looked like she had just emerged from the water, with sweat all over her body.
"Mrs. Li, I heard that a birth ten days or half a month early is not considered premature."
"If you try harder, you will definitely be able to give birth to the baby."
Shen Lingshu's encouraging voice was particularly obvious when Li Susu's shouting became weak.
"Shen Lingshu?"
Li Susu's consciousness was a little blurred due to the pain. The moment she looked at Shen Lingshu, her pupils shrank.
"Mrs. Li, listen to the midwife and push harder."
Shen Lingshu didn't care about Li Susu's shocked look. Anyway, this time she was giving birth to a daughter. Although the child was a little big and the birth was a little difficult, she was finally born safely.
She is now helping Li Susu give birth, and can also gain a good reputation with the prince.
Shen Lingshu moved her lips and reminded the midwife whether she could change the position so that the baby could be born smoothly.
After some tossing and turning, the midwife's excited voice rang out: "It's born, it's born."
"Wow~"
The loud cry of a baby was heard.
Chu Cong couldn't help but stand up. He had another child.
Concubine Fang clenched her hands tightly, fearing that others would discover her true emotions.
"Boy or girl?"
Although Li Susu was almost out of strength, she still asked anxiously, staring at the child with a burning gaze and asking, "It's a son, right?"
"Congratulations, Aunt Li, you're a rich girl. First the flowers bloom, then the fruits bear." The midwife happily went outside to ask for rewards while holding the child.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the birth of your daughter."
The midwife's excited voice sounded, "The royal family is wealthy and powerful, so the daughter should also get a reward, right?"
"reward."
When Chu Cong looked at his rosy, wrinkled daughter, he felt a moment of loss, but he was still happy. At least, he had another offspring.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the birth of your daughter."
The maids and servants congratulated him, and Chu Cong said, "Give everyone a month's salary."
Everyone was very happy, and when Concubine Fang heard that it was a daughter, her smile became even more sincere.
In the room, when Li Susu heard that it was not a son, she instantly felt unacceptable.
"Why is it a daughter? You clearly gave birth to a son. Did you switch them?"
Li Susu's excited voice rang out, and she struggled to say, "Son, where did you send my son?"
"Auntie Li, my daughter is also very good."
As soon as Shen Lingshu opened her mouth, Li Susu immediately said, "What's good about it? She's just a money-loser. She..."
"Since Aunt Li doesn't like my daughter, there's no need to look after her." Chu Cong's face was gloomy. He listened to the commotion in the room and looked at his newborn daughter and said, "Madam Hua, take good care of her."
Chu Cong turned and left.
"Yes." Nanny Hua looked at the little child. Although she felt lost, she believed that flowers bloom before they bear fruit. The prince is still so young. As long as he can still give birth, will there be a lack of sons in the palace?
Aunt Li...
Aunt Hua stopped talking.
Shen Lingshu also came out. The prince had left. She took a look at the child and left.
Concubine Fang instructed people to take good care of her and then left.
Instead of waiting here, it’s better to go back to the house and have a good sleep!
Li Susu fainted from anger.
The next day, Shen Lingshu was excitedly preparing to return to Nancheng when she heard Zhuxin report that Li Susu woke up in the middle of the night, crying and making a fuss because she had given birth to a daughter.
"The prince was very angry and scolded Concubine Li through the screen. He wanted to give the child to Concubine Fang to raise. Concubine Li then burst into tears and admitted her mistake."
Zhu Xin curled her lips: "How wonderful it is to have a daughter, just like our two little masters, so cute!"
"You are a woman yourself, yet you look down on your daughter."
Shen Lingshu didn't care much, but looked at her two daughters and made them laugh. Now, when you talk to them, sometimes they will stare at you, and sometimes they will babble and want to talk to you.
Chu Cong had just scolded Li Susu. How could the prince's daughter be a money-losing commodity?
He entered the Orchid Courtyard and watched Shen Lingshu playing with her daughter. Her eyebrows were gentle and her eyes seemed to be filled with love.
Comparing people, they are really different!
