Chapter 1128: Grand Finale: Return of an Old Friend (36)
Seeing this, Luo Tan said, "Your body is stiff from sitting for so long, let me help you massage it. This is what happens when your legs and feet are numb. It's hard to even take a step."
“No.” Shen Miao forced herself to calm down and said, “Please help me get a midwife first.”
Aunt Tao and Luo Tan were stunned at first, but Aunt Tao reacted immediately. She couldn't tell whether she was more excited or frightened. She said, "Quick! Invite the two midwives from the palace!"
….
The midwife was the best, a renowned midwife in Longye. Even the most difficult births were easy with her. To be on the safe side, Aunt Tao had hired two of them.
The leading woman, Li Po, said, "Don't be nervous, Princess. For women, giving birth is their first time. Once you've done it, you'll be less afraid and it will go smoothly."
Older than Old Lady Li, Liu scolded, “What nonsense are you saying in front of the noble lady?” Then she looked at Shen Miao and said in surprise, “But the princess is very calm. I have delivered many girls, but this is the first time I have seen someone so calm.”
Shen Miao was supported and laid on the bed. Her expression was calm, as if she didn't take the matter to heart. She never showed any panic from beginning to end, making people almost think that this was not her first time giving birth. But even if it was her second time, those women would not be so relaxed.
Shen Miao knew in her heart that she was not as calm as she appeared. Her memories of the child dated back to a long time ago. At that time, Fu Xiuyi didn't care much about her, and giving birth seemed very difficult. She gave birth to the child with anxiety.
Now, this child had come into the world with everyone's anticipation. Whether it was Xie Jingxing and herself, or Empress Xian De and Emperor Yong Le, everyone in the Shen family knew she was pregnant and they were sure to treasure the child. The more precious something is, the more afraid one is of having it broken.
Worrying too much makes her confused, so she forced herself to take a deep breath and exhale deeply, discarding the mess in her mind.
"Princess, please get up and eat something first." Mrs. Li picked up a brown sugar egg and brought it to Shen Miao. "Eating something will give you strength. The birth will take some time. You have to wait for a while."
Shen Miao took it, and actually didn’t have much of an appetite, but she still managed to finish the whole meal.
"The princess isn't spoiled at all," Mrs. Liu praised. "Young wives in the past were always a bit petty. The wives of wealthy families are even more picky. They refused to eat even when asked to, saying they were uncomfortable. Later, when she had no strength to give birth, she was the one who suffered. The princess, on the other hand, is very sensible. If she's like this, the birth will be smooth."
Seeing that Shen Miao had a gentle expression and was not picky about their rural status, she spoke in a friendly manner without being overly formal.
Shen Miao knew that the two of them were talking to distract her and make time pass faster. After all, it hadn't even started yet.
Outside, Aunt Tao and her group were waiting. Luo Tan said, "My heart is beating so fast. I don't know if my cousin gave birth to a boy or a girl. I've been curious for so long, and finally I have an answer."
"Whether it's the young prince or the young princess, they'll all be very happy and heartbroken when His Royal Highness returns." Aunt Tao smiled and said, "I just don't know how long we have to wait."
Eunuch Deng also seemed a little nervous: "After all, this is the first youngster of the royal family. The Empress, the Emperor, and the Empress Dowager would also be pleased if they were still alive."
