Having been in this world for more than ten years, nearly twenty years, Shen Nian'an often forgets that he is still a modern person.
For some reason, my thoughts are becoming more and more solidified and more and more in line with this world.
Sometimes, she even forced her daughter to have the same thoughts as her. Now think about it, if the emperor had not intervened at that time, she might have really harmed her daughter.
"Okay, mother, I'll stay with you."
Zhou Zhaonuan casually stuck to her, found a place to sit down, and massaged Shen Nian'an's legs considerately.
"Mom, do you hope to have a little sister or a little brother in your belly? Also, if Mom has a younger child, then Nuannuan and her brother..."
Halfway through pinching, Zhou Zhaonuan raised her sparkling eyes and looked at Shen Nian'an with anticipation, but for some reason, there was a hint of uneasiness in that anticipation.
After all, she was not well-behaved from the time she was born to the time she was four or five years old, especially in the past few years. Her mother often didn't see her. To be honest, in her mother's eyes, she was not really a filial daughter. She ran outside too often.
And as for Daddy, she "angered" him almost every day, often making him so angry that he was fuming.
Shen Nian'an was inexplicably stunned by her expectant and uneasy look and asked.
"Whether you're a younger brother or a younger sister, I love you all. Nuannuan and Hanhan were also my children back then. I'll treasure all of you. Nuannuan, believe me. No matter how many brothers and sisters you have, you and your brother are my treasures."
Shen Nian'an spoke in a low voice, with a firm tone in her words, they were all her children, why should she treat them differently.
Zhou Zhaonuan lowered her head, her eyes slightly red. Shen Nian'an saw through her daughter's little thoughts.
Looking at her rosy little face, Shen Nian'an found it extremely cute, and couldn't help but raised his hand and patted it gently, teasing.
"I thought we, Princess Chang'an, who fears nothing, were fearless. It turns out you're also afraid your parents won't love you anymore if they have a child."
Being teased like this, Zhou Zhaonuan's face turned even redder. She raised her head, pursed her lips, glanced at Shen Nian'an embarrassedly, and immediately buried her face, covering her head and shaking her body vigorously.
"Oh, mother, what are you talking about? Nuannuan has never been fearless. You don't know that I used to be afraid of my father. He would beat me at the slightest provocation."
Shen Nian'an rolled his eyes at her, stretched out his hand, and couldn't help but tap Zhou Zhaonuan's forehead.
"You're the only one who's afraid of your daddy???"
She used a very questioning tone, and Zhou Zhaonuan nodded vigorously. Shen Nian'an was angry and looked at the resentful little girl for a long time, with a hint of complaint.
"You can do it now, right? If anyone in this world says they're afraid of your father, I'd believe it. Except you, little girl. You can't possibly be afraid of your father at all. If you were afraid of your father, you wouldn't have to bow to him. You've sat on the dragon throne in Xuanzheng Hall quite a few times, right? If anyone else had sat on it, they'd probably be charged with treason."
Shen Nian'an squinted at her daughter and asked knowingly. Zhou Zhao was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
He stood up directly and said, "That's where Daddy asked me to sit, so I sat there with peace of mind."
"Okay, okay, you sit there."
Not intending to continue teasing her daughter, Shen Nian'an coaxed her softly, "Okay, Nuannuan, sit down quickly..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Nian'an's expression suddenly changed, his body shrank, he bent over, his face was painful, and his brows were wrinkled into the shape of a "chuan" character.
Zhou Zhaonuan was dumbfounded as she faced such a situation for the first time. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted. She forced herself to remain calm. She absolutely could not lose her composure at a time like this for her mother. Anyway, it was easier than when her mother gave birth to her and her brother alone in the cold palace.
Biyu was originally standing in the distance, and at this moment she seemed to see the situation here, and hurriedly gave instructions to the palace maid who was following her.
"Hurry up, go find the emperor, summon the imperial physician, and the rest of us, let's go find the empress and figure out how to carry her back."
Waves of pain came from his stomach, and in just a quarter of an hour, Shen Nian'an's forehead was already covered with a layer of fine sweat.
Because Zhou Zhaonuan was afraid of this situation happening, he specifically told Biyu that the imperial chariot would come quickly.
When the imperial sedan stopped beside her, Zhou Zhaonuan breathed a sigh of relief. She looked down and saw blood oozing from under Shen Nian'an. For some reason, her body trembled slightly. She had no time to think about anything else and immediately helped Shen Nian'an walk towards the imperial sedan.
"Mother, please go slowly. By the time we get back, the imperial physician and the midwife will probably be waiting, and father should be there too."
Zhou Zhaonuan's calmness comforted Shen Nian'an. She had already given birth once before. Although she was afraid of giving birth again, it was not as terrifying as Zhou Zhaonuan thought.
Seeing her daughter's forced calmness, Shen Nian'an used up as much strength as possible to give her a smile.
"Nuannuan is fine, mother is not afraid."
Zhou Zhaonuan nodded frantically, and the sedan chair was lifted up. She just followed behind the sedan chair, staring straight at Shen Nian'an, and walked towards the Pepper Room together.
The news that Shen Nian'an was about to give birth soon spread throughout the harem. When the palace maid reported to Zhou Beichen, his hand holding the brush paused. With a "click", the ink drop fell, just wetting the few large characters of the title of Crown Prince. After reacting for a split second, Zhou Beichen closed the paper as quickly as possible, and without even calling for the imperial sedan chair, he quickly walked towards the Pepper Room.
Although he already has many children, he still attaches great importance to Shen Nian'an's pregnancy. With so many concubines in the harem, his feelings for Shen Nian'an have always been different.
At this moment, the only thing on his mind was her... Was it painful? Was that little girl Nuan Nuan worried to death?
That woman was the only one who gave him a pair of children when he was childless and extremely distressed. He treated her differently from the beginning to the end.
Thinking of this, Zhou Beichen became more and more eager to go home, and especially wanted to see Shen Nian'an, so he quickened his pace.
Deshun followed behind, panting.
When Zhou Beichen arrived, only the imperial physician and the midwife were there. When the concubines heard the news, they rushed to the Pepper Palace almost at the same time.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty..."
The imperial physician knelt down to pay his respects. Zhou Beichen glanced at him coldly, waved his hand to interrupt him, and walked towards the bedroom.
"How is Concubine Hui? Where is the midwife? Is she inside?"
The imperial physician stood up straight, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
"The midwife has been guarding inside for a long time. As for the situation inside, the midwife has not come out yet. We can't go in, so we can only watch from outside. If the midwife can't solve the problem, she will naturally come out."
