Chapter 423 Madam has a good appetite
There was silence for a moment.
A group of people who were smiling brightly suddenly had frozen expressions at the same time.
In a moment, it exploded into a ball.
"It's happening, it's happening, it's happening."
"It's so sudden, what should we do now?"
"So, should we call the imperial physician first or the midwife first?"
A group of people have been smart all their lives, but at this moment, their minds suddenly become empty.
Xuan Qi turned around twice anxiously: "Announce together, announce together, please come in, Master... Hey, where's the Master? Why is the Madam missing?"
At this time, Xie Jingci was holding Lu Wanyin, climbing over the eaves and walls in the palace, and heading straight for the bedroom.
The long skirt under his hand was already soaked, and Xie Jingci's hands gradually began to tremble.
Lu Wanyin wasn't nervous at all. Feeling his trembling, she smiled and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief: "Why are you so nervous? Stop shaking your hands. I'm going to fall."
Xie Jingci pursed his lips tightly, his head expressionless as he rushed forward.
He staggered when he heard that and almost fell down with Lu Wanyin.
Lu Wanyin pursed her lips and laughed: "Oh, it's not that serious, calm down."
Xie Jingci took a deep breath: "I'm calm."
"Yes, yes, you are very calm."
Lu Wanyin suppressed a laugh: "Then why are you circling around the bed?"
Xie Jingci's expression remained serious: "I'm looking for a bed."
Lu Wanyin: “…Hahahahaha…Ouch.”
If Xie Jingci's serious and empty-headed look were seen by others, it would become a black mark in Emperor Yongchang's life.
Lu Wanyin hooked Xie Jingci's neck tightly and pointed to the side: "Don't turn around, that's it..."
She wanted to look at him pretending to be calm, but if he kept spinning, she would really get dizzy.
"Oh, yes."
Xie Jingci hurriedly took a step closer to the bed and tripped.
He steadied himself and carefully placed her on the bed: "Imperial Physician! No, where is the midwife?"
Only at this time did he remember to summon the imperial physician and midwife.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone came from outside the palace to report: "Your Highness, the imperial physician and the midwife request to see you."
Fortunately, Xie Jingci forgot, but Xuan Qi and the others, despite the chaos, did not forget to call a midwife first.
The midwives rushed in, almost filling up the bedroom.
This might mean calling in all the midwives in the imperial city.
The imperial physician also wanted to come in, but Song Jiuning drove them all out: "I'm here, there's no need for you, all of you go wait outside."
Xie Jingci regained some of his sanity and quickly responded, "Yes, yes, all of you get out."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was pushed out by Song Jiuning: "Don't talk about others, get out too."
Before Xie Jingci could retort, the door was slammed shut.
Then, Xuan Yi and a group of other guards saw their calm and wise master lying on the door in a very ungraceful manner, with his ear pressed against the door frame, trying hard to listen to the movements inside.
“Why is there no sound?”
"What's going on inside?"
"Ma'am, can you hear me?"
The quieter the sound inside, the more anxious he became.
The chaotic footsteps outside the bedroom almost never stopped.
The old lady was supported by Xu Yuan and came over quickly: "What's going on? I heard that Wanyin is about to give birth. Is she okay?"
Liuying quickly moved a chair over for the old lady: "Old lady, please sit down quickly. Don't look at how nervous the master is. In fact, the lady is fine. Divine Doctor Song is in there, so she will be fine."
The old lady was relieved. Seeing Xie Jingci still sticking to the door, she went to pull him away and said, "Don't block the door. If the midwives come back and forth to get something, you'll be in the way.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Xie Jingci was reminded and quickly moved aside and sat in the empty seat that had been prepared long ago.
He had just sat down for a while when he stood up several times anxiously: "It's been so long, why is there no sound at all?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door suddenly opened.
A midwife with a troubled look on her face walked into the crowd.
Before she could even open her mouth, she was surrounded by a group of nervous people.
"What's wrong? What happened inside?"
"No, no."
The midwife was frightened and quickly waved her hands: "It's just that the lady said she was hungry and wanted to eat pork rib rolls and honey chicken legs."
The scene was quiet again for a moment.
Xuan Yiyi gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go to the kitchen and prepare some more ingredients. If Madam wants anything else, please bring it to me."
Watching Xuan Yi hurried away, the old lady felt relieved: "Wan Yin has such a good appetite, there must be nothing serious."
When she gave birth to her child, she had no appetite at all and didn't even have the energy to drink water.
Look at the dishes Lu Wanyin ordered, they are all greasy and meaty, her appetite is ridiculously good.
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene became much more relaxed.
Not long after, two dishes were delivered from the imperial kitchen and immediately sent to the bedroom.
There was no movement inside.
The old lady's heart, which had just been put at ease, was now weighed down again.
A good appetite is a good sign, but no sound at all is too abnormal.
After a stick of incense had passed, the midwife came out again.
This time her expression was much more normal.
"Madam wants roast chicken, freshly roasted. She even specifically instructed that it be wrapped in lotus leaves and roasted with the finest yellow clay."
Everyone was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Good, good, you can still make such detailed requests.
It seems that the lady has no difficulty in there at all.
After a while, the midwife opened the door again.
She was too lazy to go out and just stood at the door to order food.
After ordering the food, he opened the door and continued working.
Looking at the midwife's expression, each time she was more relaxed than the last.
Xuan Qi couldn't help but sigh: "Madam is worthy of being Madam. Even giving birth is so different. After the birth of this child, the most tired person was Xuan Yi who was cooking."
“Puff.”
Several people couldn't help laughing out loud, and even Xie Jingci's expression looked much better.
A full hour later.
The sound of a baby crying instantly relaxed everyone's tense nerves.
It's finally over.
The lady's appetite was so good that she almost finished two tables of food in just one hour.
It's really scary.
Then came the second cry.
It is a little weaker than the first tone, but still full of energy.
"It's all out."
The old lady stood up with a flushed face and couldn't help but take two steps towards the door.
After a while, two midwives came out, each holding a package.
"Congratulations, Master and Madam! Both children are very healthy."
Xie Jingci had just ascended the throne for half a day, and was afraid that the midwives would be too nervous, so he deliberately concealed his identity.
Just say that they are distinguished guests who came to congratulate today.
The midwives had no suspicion and naturally called her Madam Young Master.
A group of people rushed over to see the child.
Xie Jingci took a quick look and wanted to squeeze into the bedroom.
Unfortunately, after trying a few times to squeeze in, he failed and almost tripped the midwives who were running back and forth.
