Chapter 243 Jin Sui Pregnancy
Twelve Niang was admitted to the hospital in advance because her belly was a bit big. Jin Sui was worried about premature birth, so he had her admitted ten days earlier than the due date, because the obstetrics department of the hospital was an independent courtyard.
It was built completely according to the standards of a royal garden, so you won't feel bored living there no matter how long you live there during pregnancy, and family members can also live with you. Yan Shiyi and Han Xing both lived in there with Twelve Mother.
Twelve Lady was very happy and not worried about the birth at all. Her water broke in the middle of the night because the Queen had specifically instructed her to be notified whenever Lady Yan had an attack.
That night, a palace maid came to report: "Madam, Madam Yan is about to give birth."
Jin Sui quickly got up and said, "Prepare the horses."
Gu Changxiao also stood up: "I will go with you to take a look."
Jin Sui shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has to attend the court tomorrow morning. Besides, everyone will be nervous if you go. You should wait to participate in the third day of bathing in Han Mansion!"
When Jin Sui rushed to the hospital, Twelve Mother was wailing in pain, and Yan Shiyi was circling in the yard like a donkey pulling a millstone, sweating profusely from fear, and sighing, "Is giving birth to a child so scary?"
Jin Sui was speechless: "Haven't you seen other people giving birth?"
Yan Shiyi was even more speechless than her: "I'm not married yet, where can I go to watch other people give birth to children?"
Jinsui: ...Okay, I asked a stupid question!
"Giving birth is so painful, so you should be nicer to your wife in the future."
Yan Shiyi knew that she had great medical skills, so he motioned for her to go in quickly, and added, "You should also talk to Han Xing and ask him to be nicer to Twelve Lady."
How could Han Xing treat Twelve Niang badly! At this moment, he held Twelve Niang's hand tightly. Twelve Niang was in pain and wanted to bite something. The nurse asked her to bite the towel, so Han Xing stuffed his other wrist into her mouth: "Bite me, it won't hurt your teeth."
In between contractions, Twelve Niang had to be fed ginseng soup, and because it would take a lot of strength, Han Xing fed her personally.
The midwife hired by the Yan family muttered that it was unlucky for a man to enter the delivery room. Han Xing asked hurriedly, "Why is it unlucky?"
The midwife said confidently: "Seeing dirty blood will affect the fortune of adults. Men cannot see dirty blood."
Jin Sui sneered, "Nonsense! A pregnant woman will feel more at ease if she has family members with her."
Han Xing said hurriedly: "Great, I thought it was unlucky for Twelve Lady, but since it's unlucky for me, it doesn't matter. I have killed so many people, I have seen all kinds of blood, why would I care about the blood stain of my wife's childbirth?"
Jin Sui patted his shoulder and said, "This is a responsible man!"
Even though Shi Er Niang was about to lose consciousness due to the pain, she still looked at Han Xing tenderly. Jin Sui hissed, "What a shame! I know you two are in love, but you don't have to show off at this time!" When she came, Shi Er Niang, Han Xing, and the medical staff all gained confidence. Jin Sui calmly directed everyone's actions, and from time to time he looked at Shi Er Niang's contractions.
Only Twelve Niang felt uncomfortable, because she still could not forget the feelings she had for King Li when Jinsui was the King of Li.
Let me put it this way, if Jinsui was really a man, no matter what her real identity was, whether she was a groom, a Taoist priest, or a ranger, Twelve Niang would stay with her unwaveringly.
Jin Sui even thought at one point that if he wasn't so straight, it would be easy to turn Shi Er Niang into a lesbian.
So when Jinsui checked her contractions, Twelve Niang was very shy, so she just told the nurse to check it and not to dirty her clothes.
Because it was night and he was afraid the lights wouldn't be bright enough, Jin Sui didn't bother to explain it later and directly moved a few large lamps out from the space. The room was filled with light, making the delivery room as bright as day.
Everyone was surprised and asked curiously what kind of lamp it was. Jin Sui could only laugh and said it was another kind of lamp made of black oil with a night-shining pearl as the wick, and it was a treasure of the palace.
This reminded Twelve Niang of the precious lantern her second brother had bought for Sui Sui at the cost of several thousand taels of silver. She started to laugh. She relaxed, and everyone else did, for fear that the parturient would be nervous and afraid.
Fortunately, Twelve Niang did not have a premature birth nor a difficult delivery, and Jin Sui did not have to take out the cesarean section tools that he had prepared in advance.
The reason why she didn't dare to take it out in advance was that she was afraid of scaring Twelve Mother, or Han Xing. She thought that when the time came, she would use anesthetics to numb the couple.
She performed a caesarean section herself. In short, she would do her best to save Twelve Lady and the child.
Fortunately, she only took the medicine to induce labor, and combined with acupuncture and episiotomy, at dawn, Twelve Niang successfully gave birth to a baby boy weighing 7.8 jin.
Newborns these days are generally small, mostly weighing four or five kilograms. A baby weighing six kilograms or more is considered a fat boy, not to mention that her son weighs almost eight kilograms.
The midwife sighed and said that if the baby was born at home, it would definitely be a difficult birth. Unexpectedly, the hospital had so many medicines and so many female midwives who were good at delivering babies, and the baby was born so smoothly.
After episiotomy, catgut is used for sutures, which do not need to be removed and can grow into the flesh without leaving any trace.
The cry of the baby appeared along with the sun, and then the cry of Yan Shiyi was heard. This guy shouted outside: "Shier Niang, how is Shier Niang?"
The child is crying, where is my sister?
Twelve Lady was exhausted, but she still responded to her second brother: "I'm fine."
Yan Shiyi was relieved then. He was about to send someone to inform his eldest brother, but he learned that his eldest brother was in the yard and he had been sitting there for half the night without even noticing him.
Although Twelve Niang lost her parents early, her two brothers really loved her very much.
Jin Sui wiped the sweat off his face, washed his hands, and then washed the child himself, wrapped him up, and placed him next to Twelve Mother:
"Before you start breastfeeding, let the nurse feed you. After you start breastfeeding, you can feed your baby yourself for a few days. Colostrum is the best food for babies. And breastfeeding yourself is good for uterine contractions and speeds up your body's recovery."
Nowadays, if a family has a little money and can afford a wet nurse, they don't have to let the woman breastfeed herself.
Twelve Lady believed Sui Sui's words and nodded, "Yes, I also want to feed the baby myself. I feel that the baby is closer to me."
Jin Sui smiled and said, "But you have to rest well at night and let the nurse feed you."
She took out a postpartum care manual and gave it to Han Xing: "Take a close look at it. Although the servants are the ones who take care of your wife and children during the postpartum period, you, as a father, should also understand something."
Twelve Lady asked hurriedly, "Sui Sui, can't I stay in the hospital for my confinement? I think this place is great."
Jin Sui smiled and shook her head: "The hospital doesn't have a confinement center for the time being, so you should go home and recuperate. I'll arrange for a nurse to accompany you when you are discharged from the hospital in three days."
Jinsui accompanied Shi Er Niang back to the ward, which was a suite of four rooms, including a bedroom for the delivery woman, a baby room, a living room, and a bathroom.
The nurse took the child to the nursery to sleep, and Han Xing accompanied Twelve Niang in the bedroom. Jin Sui also gave her some instructions for care and told her to send someone to the palace to call her if anything happened.
She then took off her dust-free clothes and prepared to return to the palace. At this time, she saw Yan Jiu waiting in the yard.
Yan Jiu bowed to her and thanked her: "Thank you for taking care of my sister."
Jin Sui said hurriedly: "This is what I should do. I also want to thank Twelve Mother for her trust in me and for choosing to give birth in the hospital."
She smiled again and said, "You haven't seen the baby yet, have you? She's very cute, and looks like Twelve Lady. Go hug her when she wakes up."
Maybe it was because she had been working hard all night, but Jin Sui felt a little dizzy in the sunlight. She covered her forehead and walked down the corridor, with Yan Jiu following closely.
This was the first time the two had been alone since Jinsui got married, no, it should be said that this was the first time since Gu Changxiao returned from Chang'an.
Yan Jiu had a lot to say to Jin Sui, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips. This situation was not suitable to talk about anything else.
In the sunlight, looking at the strands of hair on Jinsui's temples, stained with crystal beads of sweat, and looking at her simple white dress, she was not as elegant and luxurious as when they met in the palace, but still dressed like the way she did when they first went north together.
Yan Jiu only felt his heart beating uncontrollably, and the sunlight cast a dreamy and warm glow on the woman in front of him. Step by step, he felt as if he had crossed time, even across past lives and present lives, and he didn't know what year it was.
Everything in this world has turned into nothingness. The only thing that is real is the woman in front of me, her clothes fluttering, her waist pendants jingling, and her step-shaking ornaments trembling slightly.
"Miss Ling."
The woman was stunned, and turned back with a charming smile: "Mr. Yan."
The voice brought Yan Jiu back from his thoughts, and he realized what mistake he had just made. However, he did not want to apologize. Instead, he looked at Jin Sui with burning eyes.
His eyes were neither like the deep blue sea nor like a calm lake, but like a boiling volcano and roaring waves.
He knew that this might be the only chance in his life, a chance to express his feelings to the woman in front of him.
He forgot about royal power and wealth, and about worldly constraints. He only knew that he had regretted for so many days and nights. He regretted not expressing his feelings to her on the way north, and regretted not climbing up to the temple to rescue her from King Bater.
He's going to say...
But at this moment, he noticed that Jin Sui's eyes were a little erratic, his shoulders were trembling slightly, his steps were flustered, and he tried hard to look at him: "Master Yan, why are you walking around?"
Yan Jiu swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth again, and then he saw Jin Sui fall down softly, and he took a step forward to catch her.
The palace maid cried out in surprise: "Her Majesty! Quick, call the imperial physician, the Her Majesty has fainted."
Yan Jiu held the woman in his arms helplessly. He was worried about her physical condition, and his heart was moved by the contact at this moment. She is in my arms.
This is a hospital, so there is no need to call a royal physician, and there is not even a need for a nurse to push an emergency stretcher over. Yan Jiu carried Jin Sui to the emergency room and put her on the bed.
Soon the doctor came and after taking the patient's pulse, he confirmed: "Quickly feed the queen some glucose. The queen has hypoglycemia. Yes, hypoglycemia during pregnancy."
"The queen is pregnant!"
Yan Jiu silently left the ward. The sun was shining brightly outside, but he felt that he would live in rainy and damp weather for the rest of his life.
Even God stopped him from saying it.
Upon receiving the news, Gu Changxiao stopped attending court for a day and went to the hospital to pick up Jinsui and bring him back to the palace.
Jinsui woke up quickly after fainting due to hypoglycemia. He drank glucose water and ate a bowl of brown sugar eggs. Apart from a little sweating, he has fully recovered.
She thought of Yan Jiu, who seemed to have something to say to her, so she hurriedly asked the palace maid where the head of the Yan family was.
After learning that Yan Jiu had visited the baby, Yan's family came to inform him of an emergency, and he left.
Yan Shiyi came and said that something happened at the East China Sea base and Yan Jiu had to rush there to deal with it, so he couldn't even attend his nephew's third-birthday banquet.
Jin Sui felt a little regretful. Yan Jiu's expression was very solemn at that time. What was he going to say? Was it about Japan? Or about the maritime merchants?
Forget it, since he has already gone to the base and didn’t leave any words, it seems to be unimportant.
Gu Changxiao, wearing a dragon robe, went straight to the emergency room: "Sui Sui."
Jin Sui hurriedly got out of bed: "I'm fine, the palace people are making a fuss, it's still early morning, why are you here?"
Gu Changxiao hurriedly said, "The court session is over today."
He strode forward and hugged Jinsui tightly: "Suisui, that's great, we have a child."
Jin Sui hugged him and patted his back, feeling that he needed comforting more than herself: "Yes, you can also read the pregnancy handbook later, we are going to be parents!"
This feeling is really weird, as if I am not even a qualified adult yet, but I am about to become a mother.
"Since you're here, go see Twelve Lady's son! He's such a cute little guy."
When they arrived at the ward, Twelve Mother was still sleeping. The little one was lying in the cradle. Han Xing lay beside the cradle, looking at the little one without blinking, as if he was facing a great enemy.
Seeing that he didn't move at all, Jin Sui thought that he was suffering from some kind of stress as a father for the first time. When he got closer, he found that the little guy was holding one of his fingers and wouldn't let go.
Our General Han, who killed so many people in Chang'an and caused rivers of blood to flow, was helpless just because his son held a finger.
He couldn't even salute Gu Changxiao, and said apologetically: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I can't stand up."
Gu Changxiao lowered his voice and said, "It's okay. Well, the little guy is really handsome."
To be honest, he is very different from Black Tiger's son. Black Tiger's son looks like Black Tiger and has been black and red since birth, but this little guy looks like Twelve Niang. He has extremely white skin, without baby wrinkles and hair, and is as delicate as a jade or snow sculpture.
Jin Sui smiled and took out a ribbon, bent the baby's wrist to make him let go, and before he could cry out in shock, he stuffed the ribbon back into his hand.
He explained in a low voice: "The baby thinks he is still in the mother's body and will hold the umbilical cord in the womb. Now he will not feel safe if he does not hold something in his hands."
Han Xing breathed a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help but touch his son's little face with his fingertips, his face full of joy of becoming a father for the first time.
I have a son! Thinking back to the days when he and the group of brothers Heihu lived a life of uncertainty at the border, going through life and death among the Tartars and bandits. Heihu always talked about getting married, and although he didn't say it, he knew it in his heart.
For soldiers like them, marrying a wife would also be a hardship, so why waste time on a girl? If they have a child, he will be a soldier just like them.
I never thought that today, I would be appointed a general and be granted a title of nobility, marry the beautiful and noble Twelve Niang, and have such a lovely son.
Han Xing had a dreamlike sense of happiness. He looked at Jin Sui. He had just heard from the nurse that the queen had fainted.
Han Xing suddenly knelt down towards Jin Sui and said sincerely, "Thank you, Madam!"
Jin Sui thought he was thanking her for delivering the baby, so she helped him up and said, "This is what I should do! Patriarch Yan has already thanked you, and I also want to thank you for your trust in letting Twelve Lady come to the hospital to give birth!"
Han Xing said quickly: "No."
I don't just want to thank you for this, I also want to thank you for giving me a second life. I, Han Xing, can be where I am today because I went to pick up the Li King, and brought you back.
But he couldn't say this, it was too sentimental. He could only change his words and say, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty."
