Mingxiu felt heartbroken whenever she thought about what happened after the country closed itself off from the world.
Especially with the Opium Wars, hopefully we can make preparations and changes in advance.
Now that we're here, we hope to make some changes to improve the lives of future generations.
After seeing Yinreng off, Mingxiu continued to learn embroidery from Yulan.
Mingxiu wanted to make some clothes for her child. She knew she wasn't good at embroidery, but she could still learn to make clothes by following others' instructions.
Although others can do it too, this is Mingxiu's own heartfelt wish, so without saying more, it's still worthwhile to make one.
They won't work for too long in a day, because working for too long would strain their eyes, so they won't let themselves work for too long either.
So Mingxiu made some clothes in the afternoon, closed her eyes, and immersed herself in the system watching TV.
This is a rare moment of leisure for her now.
Looking at the Haier Brothers on the screen, Mingxiu gently touched her belly. This could be considered prenatal education, right?
Time passed by day by day, and the weather gradually warmed up.
Mingxiu's belly was swollen like a balloon, and she had trouble sleeping at night. One day, Mingxiu sat up with a pained expression and asked Green Bamboo next to her to massage her legs, as her legs had cramped up again.
well!
Mingxiu looked at her big belly and sighed. Her due date was just a few days away, and her growing anxiety made it hard for her to sleep at night.
In principle, concubines are allowed to have family members accompany them when they give birth. However, Mingxiu knew very well that the original owner's mother had passed away a long time ago. It was better for this stepmother not to come, and even if she did, she didn't know who would be on guard against whom.
So they weren't invited, and it wouldn't be appropriate for other people to come, so Mingxiu directly refused.
After having Green Bamboo massage her legs, Mingxiu closed her eyes and tried to sleep a little longer once the cramp subsided. Her sleep had been getting worse and worse, so she needed to take advantage of the time she could to sleep.
morning
Mingxiu raised her arm to wipe the fine sweat from her forehead. Pregnant women are naturally prone to heat, and with the weather gradually warming up, Mingxiu felt that life was getting harder and harder.
In addition, she is about to give birth and Green Bamboo and the others absolutely refuse to use ice on her. Moreover, she is always surrounded by people and has no time to enter her space, so she can only endure it.
Mingxiu sat under the eaves, sighing as she looked at the sunlight outside, her face full of worry. The weather wasn't even that hot yet, but she was already finding it hard to bear. Just thinking about not being able to take a bath for a month after giving birth made her incredibly uncomfortable.
Just thinking about it gave Mingxiu goosebumps all over her body. She simply couldn't imagine what it would be like if she didn't shower for a month.
That day, as soon as Mingxiu opened her eyes, she felt a dull pain in her stomach, and she knew that she was about to give birth.
However, it didn't feel very painful, so it should be because she was still in the contraction stage. Mingxiu didn't make a fuss and had someone prepare breakfast. This morning, she had egg noodle soup, a small bowl of mung bean porridge, and some steamed buns. Mingxiu ate a delicious meal and then wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
She said to the green bamboo beside her, "Help me up, let's go for a walk in the courtyard. Also, let's start arranging for the midwives to come in. I think I'm about to give birth."
Green bamboo: "Ah..."
Green Bamboo was shocked by what her mistress had just said.
She's about to give birth.
Her pupils widened, forgetting what Mingxiu had just said, and she hurriedly ran outside, shouting as she ran, "Her Majesty is about to give birth! Her Majesty is about to give birth! Quick, quick, midwife!"
In an instant, a series of crackling sounds erupted in the palace, instantly creating a lively atmosphere.
Mingxiu listened with a dark expression as various panicked sounds began to emanate from the palace.
Then I began to arrange various things in an orderly manner.
After arranging for someone to inform the Emperor.
Green Bamboo then realized what her mistress had just said. She quickly came over and helped Mingxiu to walk around in the courtyard. The imperial physician had said that pregnant women should move around more so that it would be easier to give birth. Green Bamboo had always kept this in mind.
When Kangxi heard the news, he hurriedly walked to Yonghe Palace. Yinreng happened to be there when he arrived. He was worried when he heard that Consort Ming was about to give birth. He originally wanted to come with Kangxi.
However, Emperor Kangxi was worried that Yinreng was too young and that childbirth would frighten him, so he did not send him over.
When Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong heard the news and rushed to Yonghe Palace, they saw Mingxiu taking a walk in the courtyard.
When Mingxiu looked up, she saw the two of them raise their paws and wave their hands, but they stopped halfway through the wave.
Emperor Kangxi quickly stepped forward and asked, "Is she about to give birth?"
Mingxiu nodded, looking at Kangxi with a wry smile.
Kangxi quickly picked up Mingxiu and carried her to the delivery room.
Inside the delivery room, someone said, "Your Majesty, please leave. The delivery room is filthy; you cannot stay here."
When the midwife saw Kangxi enter, she quickly helped him put Mingxiu on the bed and told him to go out first.
Mingxiu lay on the bed, breathing heavily, her stomach aching in waves. It was so intense. In her previous body in the modern world, she had menstrual cramps every month, and she found that pain to be unbearable, to the point that she felt like dying every month.
Unexpectedly, the child's pain was even greater than the other one. "The Empress exhales..."
Mingxiu listened to the midwife's voice and followed her movements.
He even kept his eyes closed, firstly to enter the space and summon the system to constantly scan the area.
Green Bamboo stood next to Mingxiu, looking at Mingxiu's pale face with heartache, wiping the sweat from Mingxiu's forehead from time to time. Green Bamboo was standing here at Mingxiu's special request, even though Mingxiu said she could use the system to scan and detect whether a person had bad intentions.
