Chapter 1716 Peace of Mind (Reward for the book friend "Yanwei who loves reading books")
The Crown Princess looked at Manbao eagerly, stretched out a piece of her wrist and said, "Manbao, do you want to let me take your pulse?"
Of course you need to take the pulse.
Manbao put down the medicine box, took out the pulse pillow, reached out and felt the Crown Princess's pulse, then reached out and touched her belly, and said, "I don't think you will give birth tonight, but it will be painful."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Crown Princess cried out "Ouch" and held her stomach, unable to speak in an instant due to the pain.
Manbao could only massage her acupuncture points to relieve her pain. After a while, the Crown Princess finally caught her breath. She took a few quick breaths and cried, "Is giving birth so painful?"
Manbao nodded. "Yes, it's said in medical books that childbirth pain is the worst pain in the world, so Princess, you must conserve your strength."
Manbao gently advised: "You may not sleep well tonight, but you have to sleep. Why don't you get out of bed and walk around? Once you are tired, you will be able to fall asleep."
The Crown Princess asked, "Is there no other way to relieve the pain? I heard that you gave Han Wuniang painkillers when you delivered her."
"She had a cesarean section, and she needed to be unconscious. The Crown Princess wants to give birth naturally, so that's definitely not possible," Man Bao thought for a moment and said, "But you could try acupuncture, but it would only relieve some of the pain. It's impossible to completely stop the pain."
The Crown Princess said she understood and looked at Manbao eagerly as he waited for her to give him acupuncture.
Manbao said speechlessly: "You are just having labor pains now, you don't need this. It's better to wait until you are ready to give birth."
Seeing the Crown Princess's bitter face, Manbao explained, "Labor pains are also to let you feel and adapt to this kind of pain in advance, otherwise you will be even more unbearable when the pain suddenly comes during childbirth."
People's ability to tolerate pain will increase.
The Crown Princess didn't know whether she accepted her explanation or not, but she no longer asked Manbao to give her acupuncture.
Manbao breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the dark sky outside and said, "Then I'll go back tonight?"
The Crown Princess immediately reached out and grabbed Manbao, then looked at the Crown Prince.
The prince stood up and said, "You don't need to go back tonight. Stay here and look after the Crown Princess."
Just as the words fell, Eunuch Wu's voice was heard outside, "Your Highness, Imperial Physicians Liu and Zheng from the Imperial Hospital are here."
The two imperial physicians were also invited by the Eastern Palace.
Neither the Crown Prince nor the Crown Princess had any experience in giving birth. When she felt a pain, she thought she was about to give birth, so she sent someone to invite Zhou Man and also sent someone to the Imperial Hospital.
By the time the nearest midwife came over to check and comfort the Crown Princess, Manbao had also arrived.
The prince thought for a moment and said simply, "Let's keep the two imperial doctors as well. Come, clean up the side hall for them to stay in."
"Wait a minute," Manbao asked, "Shouldn't the side hall be cleared out to be used as a delivery room?"
Neither the Crown Prince nor the Crown Princess spoke. The senior palace maid beside them explained in a low voice, "The Crown Princess isn't very familiar with the side halls. She always feels uneasy after living there, so she decided to give birth in the main hall."
When Manbao heard this, she immediately looked towards the inner room. She couldn't see anything through the screen, so she stood up and said, "Then we have to clean it up again. Have you done it?"
The head maid immediately said, "I have just packed it up according to your and the midwives' instructions. You can go and take a look."
The curtains in the inner room were rolled up, and the bed above was replaced with a clean and simple one. Manbao walked forward, touched it, and smelled it.
The head maid whispered, "The midwives have checked and found nothing extra."
Manbao nodded, and after leaving the inner room, he looked at the Crown Prince and Crown Princess in a dilemma and said, "Do I really have to stay here tonight?"
She said, "Actually, Chongwenguan is not very far from here. It's in the East Palace."
The prince frowned, "Why are you being so reluctant?"
Manbao said, "Bai Shan is still waiting for me outside, and she'll have more energy when she really gives birth tomorrow if she gets enough rest, right?"
The prince was speechless. "You are treating a patient, why is he, a student from Chongwen Academy, following you?"
Manbao paused and said, "He is worried about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince sneered. Was he worried about him or Zhou Man? He was not a fool.
The prince stood up and said, "You stay to accompany the Crown Princess. As for Bai Shan, let him go with Doctor Liu and the others."
The midwives were watching closely, and the prince couldn't stay too long. He said to the princess, "If you feel any pain, tell me, don't hide it. If you need anything, just tell the servants to do it. I will be guarding outside."
The Crown Princess was indeed more relieved after hearing this. She nodded repeatedly and said, "I know. Your Highness, please go."
The prince nodded to Zhou Man and turned to leave.
As soon as he left, the midwives and aunts all breathed a sigh of relief. Men were generally not allowed to enter the delivery room, but the prince had a bad temper, and he glared at them after they had just tried to persuade him, so they didn't dare to persuade him again.
As soon as the Crown Prince left, Manbao immediately took off his shoes and sat on the couch to talk to the Crown Princess, "Why are you so nervous? Didn't you rehearse the birthing procedure a long time ago?"
Teacher Mo said that a long time ago when human conception was still possible, pregnant women would receive birth training and various knowledge explanations before giving birth, so that mothers would be as prepared as possible during delivery and would not panic too much.
Manbao has been coming to see the Crown Princess almost every day since she became pregnant. Between the two of them, the Crown Princess has even taught her to play several songs.
Manbao also taught her a lot about maternal medical knowledge. They had done everything from correcting the fetal position to rehearsing delivery.
The Crown Princess smiled bitterly and said, "I thought I was fine before, but I didn't expect it to hurt so much. When the pain started, I couldn't remember anything."
If the midwife hadn't come and comforted her, she would probably have been even more panicked.
Manbao could only sigh upon hearing this, reached out and touched her big belly and said, "Forget it, since you'll forget it once it hurts, there's no point in cramming now. Just remember it, and no matter how much it hurts, just listen to us."
The midwife beside her nodded repeatedly. The Crown Princess had no experience, but they did. Basically, if the mother listened to them, the delivery would be half successful.
The Crown Princess nodded repeatedly.
Manbao checked the time and said to the Crown Princess, "Go get some sleep now while your stomach isn't rumbling. Don't worry, I'll be staying in this courtyard and won't be leaving."
Over the past year, and especially over the past ten months, the two of them had spent almost every day together, and the Crown Princess had already developed a sense of dependence on her. When she heard this, the Crown Princess felt relieved and, holding the hand of the palace maid, returned to her inner room to sleep. Before leaving, she instructed the head palace maid, "Please clear this soft couch for Imperial Physician Zhou to sleep on."
The midwives, aunts and palace maids standing by were all envious. Being able to sleep on the couch in the main room of the East Palace was a great honor for Mogao.
However, Manbao obviously didn't think of this. After the Crown Princess fell asleep, she ran out to find Bai Shan first. Of course, she took the medicine box that she had always kept in her sight.
See you tomorrow
By the way, I haven’t told you all that after discussions with the editor, a new book has been published as a side story of “The Daily Life of the Rich Second Generation in Cultivating Immortality”. It starts from the moment when Lin Qingwan, Yi Han and others ascended to heaven. The new book is called “After Ascension from Modern Times”. Because it needs to be updated according to the editor’s requirements, the content of the updated chapters is still the previously updated side story. However, in order to facilitate the connection and avoid sensitive content, some modifications have been made.
For example, the Special Department was changed to the Management Department, etc. Anyway, it's still thin. You can save it first if you are not in a hurry, but remember to collect it, because the collection data is very important.
