The fleet that went out to sea has been gone for some time.
Winter has arrived and light snow is falling from the sky.
Fang Zhengyi took a leave of absence and stayed in the princess's mansion to accompany Li Miaohan.
Li Miaohan's belly was already bulging, and after consulting a professional, she learned that she would be giving birth soon.
Fang Zhengyi was naturally extremely careful and didn't bother to care about anything else.
Emperor Jing was also considerate of his daughter's feelings and granted her leave as long as Fang Zheng asked for it.
At this moment, Li Miaohan was leaning on the oversized sofa that Fang Zhengyi had carefully built, stroking her belly with a happy look on her face, her head resting on Fang Zhengyi's shoulder.
Although her face is still young and pretty, there is a hint of maturity between her eyebrows.
Fang Zhengyi put his arm around her shoulders, staring straight ahead, with a myriad of thoughts running through his mind.
The child is about to be born, and I am going to be a father.
I have lived two lives, but this is the first time I have had such an experience.
Damn it! In my previous life, I was busy with work and only licked my boss's shoes. Why didn't I read more about prenatal education? I can't remember it at all now...
What worries him even more is that the current medical environment is extremely poor. He vaguely remembers the information he read on the Internet in his previous life.
It says that the infant mortality rate among royal children is about one-third, and the mortality rate among women due to difficult childbirth is also roughly the same.
That is the top medical resource.
One third, it’s really too high, scary!
Although he also had the best medical resources and penicillin, it was far from enough.
If something really happened and the child died, it would be fine, but if his wife was gone, his mother would really want to die.
To this end, he specially ordered the people of the Patriarch Association to spend a large sum of money to recruit a group of the most famous midwives from the public. All of them were experienced and had an excellent reputation.
The traditional experience of midwives was obviously not very reliable, so Wang Meng was specially ordered to teach them some basic physiological knowledge and knowledge of human body structure in order to improve their delivery experience.
At the same time, the county sent people to collect monkeys again, but this time the conditions were much more stringent, and only pregnant female monkeys were needed.
According to Fang Zhengyi's understanding, the primate closest to humans is the monkey, so theoretically it should be of reference value.
However, the Patriarchal Association has not sent any news so far, and it is obvious that there has not been much progress.
But Fang Zhengyi never fights a battle without preparation. It is too late to cram at the last minute, so he has a second plan.
I directly brought back a statue of Buddha from the most famous temple in the capital.
At this moment, the huge statue of Bodhisattva was in the room, looking directly at Fang Zhengyi with a smile on his face.
Looking at the Bodhisattva's kind smile, Fang Zhengyi silently said in his heart, "May the Bodhisattva bless you."
If everything goes well, I will build a golden body for you.
"Husband, don't you not believe in Buddhism? Why are you staring at him every day now?"
"Of course it's for your own good. With the Buddha's blessing, giving birth will be smooth. If anything happens to you, I'll smash all the temples in the city and see where they can get the incense."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Li Miaohan gave him a reproachful look and wanted to reach out to cover his mouth.
"Buddha, I didn't say anything about you." Fang Zhengyi quickly added.
"Husband, the baby in my belly is a boy..."
"Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" As she was speaking, a maid came to the door to report.
As the maid finished speaking, Li Yuanzhao rushed in with a gift in his hand.
"Miaohan, I'm here to bring you some supplements." Li Yuanzhao went straight to the point.
Then I saw her and Fang Zhengyi putting their arms around each other's shoulders.
Fang Zheng said with a straight face, "Your Highness, why didn't you knock on the door before entering the room? Is this appropriate?"
Li Yuanzhao smiled and said, "What's wrong? We are all family. Aren't my sister and I closer than you? Did you two say something shameful? Miaohan, how are you feeling recently?"
Li Miaohan yawned and said, "It's just about whether the baby is a boy or a girl. I'm fine, but I'm always sleepy and my head is a little dizzy."
"Are you sleepy again? Go back to the inner room and get some sleep!" Fang Zheng hurriedly helped Li Miaohan into the inner room.
Li Yuanzhao casually placed the gift in his hand on the table, leaned back on the sofa skillfully, and sank into it, looking relaxed.
When Fang Zheng came out, he said, "Old Fang, my baby is about to be born. Do you think it's a boy or a girl?"
"I won't guess. I can't guess it."
"You are such a boring person! I will definitely give birth to a boy. My father has been dreaming of having a grandson for many years. This year, let him get his wish."
"How do you know, what if the baby is a daughter?"
Li Yuanzhao whispered, "I have checked it several times with a microscope. The tadpoles are extremely strong. It must be a boy! Besides, all the civil and military officials are watching me. If I give birth to a girl, where will I put my face? Don't be such a pessimist! Oh... God bless you!"
"......"
"You think Miaohan will give birth to a boy or a girl?"
Fang Zheng thought for a moment, then shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter. I don't care about these things."
"Old Fang, are you still a man? You don't care about that. If you give birth to a girl, who will carry on your family line? She will have to marry in the future." Li Yuanzhao retorted, "Why don't you go find a doctor? I heard there is a medicine that can give birth to a boy after taking it."
"Forget it, that's all fake. It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl!" Fang Zheng looked conflicted.
He had never really thought about the question of whether to have a boy or a girl, but now that Li Yuanzhao mentioned it, he took it seriously.
Giving birth to a boy is naturally the best. He is born as a rich second-generation, and can have three wives and four concubines. The family lives a happy life with money.
What if you give birth to a girl?
Damn, in this world, it's much harder for women than for men. Of course I can support her for her whole life.
But you have to get married sooner or later. A bastard can have three wives and four concubines, so what will happen if your daughter gets married?
Give birth to a daughter and marry her to a man who will have many wives and concubines? I'll have to castrate that son of a bitch!
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng began to grit his teeth.
"Give birth to a boy! Must give birth to a boy!"
"Tsk, it sounds nice, it doesn't matter whether you have a boy or a girl, but you still want a boy? Old Fang, I think Miaohan is about to give birth, let's quickly let her go to the palace to recuperate, there are the best midwives in the palace to help her deliver the baby, and we will try to make sure everything goes well. Giving birth is like sacrificing half your life, you can't be careless!"
"I won't rush you, but my father will rush you in two days."
Fang Zheng shook his head.
The midwives in the palace? He had inquired about it a long time ago. He heard that they were also the most experienced masters recruited from the people. However, there were not so many people in the palace who needed to deliver babies. I am afraid that their skills had long been out of the top ranks.
It is still more reliable to find a folk midwife yourself. She is either delivering babies or on the way to deliver babies 365 days a year!
"Your Highness, I have already found the best midwife, so I will not bother the palace with this matter."
Seeing his firm attitude, Li Yuanzhao said helplessly: "Well, be careful in everything. My eyelids have been twitching recently, and I am always panicking."
"Don't talk nonsense! The Bodhisattva is still here!"
