Chapter 37: Maybe Twins
The prince's child was hard-earned. If he can't keep him, doesn't it mean that the prince will have no descendants?
When Shen Lingshu heard this, she quickly grabbed her hand and explained, "Madam Hua, my stomach is fine. I just want to tell them that they can't do anything to bully others just because they are so prosperous in the courtyard."
"Also, there are a lot of things going on in the hospital right now, so let them be more alert." Shen Lingshu expressed her thoughts.
“…”
Only then did Aunt Hua realize that there was a misunderstanding. She had complicated feelings about Shen Lingshu's idea of restraining the servants. Whether in the palace or in the backyard of the prince's mansion, the favored concubines or aunts often flattered the powerful and bullied the weak, and many of them had their eyes set on the sky.
But Shen Lingshu is different. She is not surprised by praise or criticism. Even though the entire Youlan Courtyard is now the only one in the backyard of the palace, she does not show any arrogance. She treats the people around her the same as before and does not even cause trouble for other concubines.
"Madam Shen is very thoughtful, but..." Nanny Hua changed the subject and asked someone to invite the court doctor over, saying, "Madam Shen's health is very important. I will be relieved after the court doctor has examined her."
Doctor Lin, who was about to take Shen Lingshu's pulse, arrived. After taking her pulse, Doctor Lin said nothing and switched hands, which made Aunt Hua very nervous. She asked, "Doctor Lin, is there anything wrong?"
These days, Nanny Hua dared not slack off for a single day, fearing that something might go wrong.
"Aunt Shen's pregnancy..."
Doctor Lin's hesitation made Nanny Hua's heart jump to her throat. She couldn't help but urge him, "Doctor Lin, if you have something to say, just say it. If you are not sure, I will take the prince's token and go to the palace to invite the imperial physician."
Whether Shen Lingshu can give birth to this baby successfully or not represents whether the prince's reputation of being extinct can be completely removed!
If that doesn't work, then Prince Lin will have no heir... and the prince's situation will be very difficult.
"Don't worry, Aunt Hua. I think the baby is doing well in my belly." Shen Lingshu was familiar with the script. Chu Cong's poison was cured, so even though her baby was born a little earlier, there was no problem with the baby.
"You misunderstood, the child is fine."
As soon as Doctor Lin finished speaking, Nanny Hua breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Since the child is fine, why is Doctor Lin like this?"
Aunt Shen also looked at Doctor Lin curiously, afraid that he would frown.
"Mrs. Shen's belly is bigger than that of an ordinary person. I suspect that she might be pregnant with twins."
This is also the reason why Doctor Lin took the pulse repeatedly.
"Twins?"
Aunt Hua and Shen Lingshu spoke in unison, and the next moment, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Lingshu's bulging belly.
“Yes, Aunt Shen’s pulse is unusually strong, but if you want to confirm it, you have to wait until the child is seven or eight months old to know. An experienced midwife can also feel the abdomen to confirm whether it is twins.”
Doctor Lin had wanted to talk about this before, but he was never sure. Today, based on his experience, he can basically confirm that it is twins.
"Doctor Lin, please keep this matter confidential." Shen Lingshu said solemnly and winked at Zhu Xin, who immediately handed over the heavy purse.
"Don't worry, Aunt Shen." Doctor Lin took the silver and promised not to tell anyone before leaving.
Shen Lingshu looked at Aunt Hua and said, "Aunt Hua, I don't want to tell the prince until it's confirmed. Is that okay?"
Nanny Hua pondered for a moment and said, "It's right for Aunt Chen not to say it. It's not something you are 100% sure about, so it's better not to tell the prince yet." To avoid being disappointed.
"Yes, if there are really two children by then, the prince will definitely be happy after the children are born." After Shen Lingshu was happy, she began to worry. In this ancient time with backward medical care, giving birth to one child would be like walking through the gates of hell, right?
Can she really give birth to twins safely?
No, we can't just sit there and wait for death.
Shen Lingshu practiced yoga in bed at night. When she was filming a movie before, there was a role of a yoga teacher, so she specially took the yoga teacher certificate.
She remembered that there is yoga for pregnant women, which can not only relieve discomfort during pregnancy, but also reduce the pain of labor tearing. The most important thing is that it opens the pelvis, making it easier for natural childbirth!
"Master, what are you doing?" Zhu Xin stood aside, trembling with fear.
Aunt Hua also opened her hands and said, "Auntie Shen, please be careful."
"It's okay, it's just exercise. It will help you give birth faster and better in the future."
Shen Lingshu said with a smile, and reminded: "Don't let anything slip about the twins!"
"Don't worry, master." Zhu Xin covered her mouth, looking determined not to let the cat out of the bag.
After dinner, Chu Cong just arrived at Youlan Courtyard and saw Shen Lingshu lying on the bed on her side with one leg stretched out, slowly raising it up and then lowering it.
"What are you doing?" Chu Cong walked forward and asked curiously.
His sudden voice startled Shen Lingshu. She opened her eyes and when she saw Chu Cong, her eyes lit up instantly. She slowly stood up and wanted to greet him. Chu Cong supported her and said, "You are in a heavy state, so please don't."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Shen Lingshu raised her eyes and explained, "I've heard before that doing these movements can make the child stronger in my belly, and it will be smoother when I give birth later."
"Really?" Chu Cong was skeptical. How could such a simple action have such benefits?
"Of course it's true. My mother gave birth to me and my brother very quickly." Shen Lingshu said with a smile, "When we were born, my mother said that we were born in less than an hour."
“…”
Chu Cong thought of Gu Qiurong who had a difficult labor for three days and three nights. If Qiurong had known about such a good move earlier and learned it, would she and the child be safe?
"Your Highness, even if it's a little hard, I'm not afraid, as long as the child can be born safely." Shen Lingshu carefully explained several movements and performed them for Chu Cong to see.
She had to make Chu Cong understand how hard she had tried to keep the child.
She puts in three points, and the prince must see five points!
"Lingshu, thank you for your hard work." Chu Cong looked at those movements. It was not easy to persist day after day.
"It is my blessing to give birth to the prince's child." Shen Lingshu raised her head and looked at Chu Cong with love in her eyes that was about to overflow.
Chu Cong reached out and took her into his arms, his hand resting on her belly, murmuring, "An An, you must stay in your mother's belly obediently."
With Shen Lingshu's previous training, he is now familiar with talking to the baby in his belly.
There was also anticipation in Chu Cong's eyes. Both his eldest brother and the third brother already had several children, but he didn't have any now.
…
"Vile woman! Bitch!"
Shen Changxing got the news from his confidant and followed Doctor Xu for half a month. He finally found out that Doctor Xu was secretly in contact with a maidservant beside Yu.
