"Lianyi, don't be afraid, I'm right here with you!"
The prince immediately spoke to comfort her, saying that giving birth to the child was the most important thing now.
"Your Highness, you must pray for our child."
Lianyi took the prince's hand and instructed.
"Lianyi, don't worry, our child will be born safely."
As if the prince's words had worked, Lianyi pretended to be calm, and then, with the help of Lanzhi and Nanny Sun, she entered the delivery room that had been arranged long ago.
After Lianyi entered the delivery room, she said to Lanzhi:
"Take that mat down."
"Crown Princess"
"Can't you smell the strong smell of safflower? Are you worried that I won't have a hemorrhage after giving birth?"
Ripple said with a frown.
Lanzhi's heart skipped a beat, and she asked Nanny Sun to hold the Crown Princess steady. She almost trotted forward, rolled up all the bedding on the bed and threw it out, then turned and ran to Lianyi's bedroom, brought over the new bedding that her master had asked her to prepare two days ago, and after re-laying the bed, she helped Lianyi lie down on the bed.
The three midwives waiting on the side looked at each other, feeling a little nervous, because this Crown Princess was not someone who could be easily fooled.
One of the midwives' eyes flashed, and her right hand, which was placed next to her trouser leg, subconsciously clenched into a fist.
Lianyi was lying on the delivery bed. Lanzhi had carefully taken off her underwear and covered her legs with a cotton sheet. The midwife with a twinkling look in her eyes took the lead and stepped forward and said:
"Let me see how the Crown Princess's palace is open."
Seeing that Lianyi looked okay, Lanzhi and Nanny Sun stepped aside, but they still stared at the midwife without blinking.
The midwife took two steps forward and saw that Lianyi's amniotic fluid had broken, so she stretched out her right hand and prepared to touch the opening of the cervix.
Lianyi suddenly closed her legs and kicked the midwife out. Everyone was shocked by this sudden change. Nanny Sun's heart was pounding. She pounced over and pressed the fair-skinned midwife to the ground.
"Madame Sun, take a good look at the gap between her fingernails on her right hand."
Ripple said calmly.
Nanny Sun immediately turned the midwife's right hand over and took a closer look. She broke out in a cold sweat because there was milky white powder under the nail of her little finger, which had been pierced. She really couldn't imagine letting this hand go deep into the Crown Princess's lower body.
"Call someone to come in and take this woman out and hand her over to the prince. He will handle it."
Lianyi was in labor pains at the moment, so her speech was intermittent.
"Yes, Princess!"
The midwife in question was taken away and her life or death was unknown. The other two midwives were frightened and hesitated to approach Lianyi.
Nanny Sun got the problematic midwife out and explained the situation to the prince.
The prince's face also darkened. Taking action when the Crown Princess was giving birth was just to make things difficult for him, and he would not tolerate it. He waved his hand and asked Quanfu to gag the frightened midwife and drag her away.
"Mammy, it's too late to temporarily transfer a midwife now. Please check the other two midwives carefully and make sure they stay by your side and keep an eye on them."
"Yes, Your Highness, I will definitely protect the Crown Princess and the baby in her belly."
Nanny Sun hurried into the delivery room, examined the two midwives, asked them to wash their hands, take off their coats, and remove all jewelry, before allowing them to approach Lianyi.
Lianyi was controlling her breathing to match the frequency of the contractions. Although her forehead was covered in sweat, she still tried to stay calm. After all, it was not her first time giving birth.
"Hurry up, the first baby is about to come out!"
Ripple said after a groan.
The two midwives then ran to the delivery bed. One of them lifted the sheet and exclaimed:
"The head is already out!"
"Princess Consort, please push harder when I ask you to."
The midwife quickly got into the role, and Nanny Sun finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, she still didn't dare to relax and stared at the two of them without blinking.
Lianyi was in good health and not really a sickly person, so the first child was born in less than half an hour.
"Congratulations, Crown Princess. Congratulations, Crown Princess. It's a little prince!"
The midwife cut the umbilical cord and slapped the baby's butt twice, and a loud "wa wa" cry was immediately heard.
Lanzhi had been anxious for a long time. She picked up the quilt and wrapped the little prince up. She let Lianyi take a look at him, and then at Lianyi's signal, she took the child out.
Although the prince was sitting on a chair in the yard, he still sat up straight when he heard the baby crying.
When Lanzhi came out holding the little prince to tell the prince the good news, the prince finally felt relieved that he had a successor.
"Quanfu, hurry up! Tell Father and Mother the good news!"
The prince was very happy. He hugged his eldest son and looked at his wrinkled red face. He was still very happy. He turned around and instructed Doctor Liang beside him:
"Doctor Liang, check the little prince's body."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Doctor Liang asked the nurse to hold the child and carefully examined him. He immediately bowed and said:
"Congratulations to the prince on the birth of his baby boy. The child is healthy and has no abnormalities."
At the same time, the emperor and the empress both received the news that Lianyi had given birth to a son, and they were very happy. Not long after, news came that Lianyi had given birth to another daughter.
Because they learned from Doctor Liang that Lianyi was pregnant with twins, the two bosses were not surprised. They just ordered their servants to send the prepared rewards to the East Palace.
Who would have known that the reward-giving team would turn back halfway just after leaving the Fengqi Palace because the Crown Princess gave birth to another little prince.
"What? Another baby? Not twins, but triplets?"
The queen was shocked and asked the eunuch who came to announce the good news.
"In reply to the Queen, the Crown Princess has given birth to another little prince."
"Then add another gift."
The Queen had just said half of it when she seemed to have thought of something and told her personal maid:
"Go to the East Palace. I want to go and see it myself."
"Yes, Queen."
On the other side, the old emperor was also a little surprised to learn that his daughter-in-law had given birth to three children, but he still asked Quanfu calmly:
"Is the little grandson in good health?"
"Your Majesty, although the little grandson is a little thin, it is probably because he did not snatch the little brother and little sister from his mother's womb. However, Doctor Liang has examined him and said that the little grandson is in good health. As long as he is well taken care of, he will be able to stand on his own."
Quanfu immediately replied with a smile.
"That's good. How is the Crown Princess' health?"
The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and asked again.
"When I came to report the news, Doctor Liang was checking the Crown Princess's pulse and said that she was not feeling well."
Quanfu thought for a moment and said tactfully.
"The Crown Princess has helped the royal family grow and prosper, so she is a meritorious official. Let Imperial Doctor Liang treat her with all his strength, otherwise I will have a hard time explaining to General Meng."
The emperor already knew what was going on, so he spoke sweet words without hesitation.
"Yes, I will go and pass on the emperor's order."
Quanfu bowed and then backed out of the imperial study.
Lianyi, who had already been moved back to the bedroom from the delivery room, was lying on the bed with a gray face, her eyes closed, and her breathing weakly.
