Because of sufficient sleep, Bai Susu looked very good. Although she was not wearing any makeup, her delicate and fair skin was flawless. Even though she was pregnant, she was still as pretty and charming as a young girl who had just come of age.
Thinking of how Bai Susu was still young and had to go through the pain of childbirth, Emperor Xuan Jing felt more and more pity for her.
Not to mention Bai Susu was afraid, he was also afraid in his heart, fearing that something might happen to Bai Susu during childbirth.
Because of this fear, he prepared everything to be foolproof.
The midwife has been selected long ago. She must not only be skilled in midwifery, but also have a clean family background and clean hands and feet.
To be on the safe side, Emperor Xuan Jing even took control of their families to prevent anyone from harboring evil intentions.
The same is true for wet nurses.
Emperor Xuan Jing kissed Bai Susu's heart and patiently comforted her: "I will be with you, don't be afraid."
Bai Susu was naturally sweet-hearted after receiving Emperor Xuan Jing's promise, but she didn't want Emperor Xuan Jing to accompany her. Thinking about the pain she must have been grimacing during childbirth, she didn't want to leave a bad impression on Emperor Xuan Jing!
The days passed like water. In the days leading up to the delivery, although Emperor Xuan Jing had made all the preparations, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
Bai Susu couldn't wait any longer. She was already looking forward to what the baby in her belly would look like.
_
In the dim light, the bright yellow bed curtains fluttered. The imperial concubine suddenly had a stomachache. The emperor sent a female doctor to see her. Today was the day she was due to give birth.
Suddenly, the lights in the Yangxin Palace were brightly lit, and countless palace servants rushed in and out holding copper basins.
The midwife's hands were trembling as she checked Bai Susu's fetal position. The glaring bright yellow light made her uneasy. The emperor actually let the imperial concubine give birth on the dragon bed. Such doting was unheard of in history.
Bai Susu's face was as pale as snow, and she held the brocade in her hands. Waves of pain came over her, causing her to groan in pain from time to time.
She was covered with a bright yellow brocade quilt, revealing her slender white legs. The midwife methodically prepared all the necessary items for the birth, occasionally glancing into the quilt and saying softly, "Madam, take a deep breath and push hard."
Outside the palace
Emperor Xuan Jing stood straight with anxious eyes, and he was more flustered than ever before. There were already a lot of imperial doctors kneeling on the ground.
Emperor Xuan Jing paced back and forth for a few steps, then pointed at the imperial physician and warned him, "You must ensure the safety of the imperial concubine and her child, otherwise you will risk your heads."
The imperial doctors naturally did not dare to be negligent. They set up the medicine furnace and prepared a decoction for the imperial concubine to facilitate a normal delivery.
Emperor Xuan Jing has always been calm and reserved, but facing Bai Susu's cry of pain, he is also uneasy at this moment. He can only feel at ease by constantly staring at the door.
Bai Susu lay in a bed of embroidered velvet. The pain in her abdomen became more and more intense, and she couldn't help but scream: "Ah!"
Doctor Jiang's eyelids twitched, and he said to the female doctor inside: "If the queen is in real pain, you can ask her to bite the cork. Remember not to bite your tongue."
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his wide sleeves, and then discussed the prescription for midwifery with the imperial physician beside him.
Emperor Xuan Jing felt as if his heart was being fried in oil. Su Su's cries of pain became louder and louder, and his heart felt as if it was being kneaded and beaten.
Seeing that the emperor looked very unhappy, Wang Fuhai stepped forward and advised: "Your Majesty, it will take some time for the imperial concubine to give birth. Why don't you go to the side hall to rest..." Before he could finish his words, he was silenced by the emperor's warning look.
Those who accepted their fate bowed their heads and obeyed, not daring to say anything more.
Two hours passed, and there was still no sign of the baby being born.
Bai Susu's voice weakened, and Emperor Xuan Jing was even more worried outside. He could only pace back and forth to relieve his anxiety.
Bai Susu bit the golden cork and was already unconscious from the pain. Her little face was as green as jade and showed weakness.
"My lady, please push harder." The midwives were so anxious that they were sweating profusely. Seeing that the lady was so fragile, they wanted to go up and give her a hand, but Bai Susu was precious after all, so they were secretly anxious and did not dare to act rashly.
Bai Susu wanted to cry but had no tears. She had tried her best, but the child was so annoying that she couldn't give birth to him.
Tears fell from the corners of her eyes like pearls from a broken string. Nanchun's eyes also turned red. She wiped away the tears with a handkerchief and comforted her, "My lady, it will be over soon. Please hold on."
The midwife was also happy at this time and said: "I can see the little prince's head. Madam, please push harder!"
Another wave of pain came, and Bai Susu groaned, trembling in pain. She arched her back, using almost all her strength before she felt her body relax.
"It's born!" The midwife was overjoyed, and the palace maids around her also announced the good news in unison.
Only after hearing the powerful cry did Bai Susu let go of the brocade and fell onto the soft quilt, a relieved smile blooming on her lips.
The resounding cry of the baby reached outside the palace, and Emperor Xuan Jing could not help but shudder. Wang Fuhai was overjoyed, muttering, "The Imperial Concubine has given birth!"
At the same time, the sun rose, and the golden light covered the entire sky. Emperor Xuan Jing looked up, and his eyes suddenly became moist due to the sunlight.
It turned out that his child was to be born under this brilliant light.
The palace gate opened, and a maid bowed and hurried forward, her face full of joy. When she knelt before Emperor Xuan Jing, she said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Imperial Concubine has given birth to a little prince!"
Prince! Emperor Xuan Jing was so delighted that he almost couldn't stand up. "Good! Good! Give them all!"
After staying up all night, Emperor Xuan Jing was extremely tired, but at this moment he was full of energy and his eyes were shining.
He walked like a dragon and a tiger, and in just a few steps he entered the delivery room. The nanny and palace maids in the delivery room were cleaning up. In order to cover up the smell of blood, lily incense was burned in the incense burner in the middle of the room, and wisps of light smoke spread out, filling the room.
Bai Susu was lying on the bed, with her child wrapped in bright yellow satin beside her. Their two snow-white and tender little faces were exactly the same.
