"Why are you angry, Concubine Xu? I'm just reminding you in a friendly way." Concubine Xue stared at Shen Chuwei's belly again. That belly was much bigger than that of an average person. A difficult birth would naturally be the best outcome, with one corpse and two lives.
Concubine Xu snorted: "You don't need to remind me, Shen Liangdi and the baby will be safe."
Concubine Xue nodded in agreement, "This is your highness's first child. I think so too. It's best if they are safe."
Concubine Xue didn't stay long and went back.
As soon as Concubine Xue left, Concubine Xu couldn't help but say, "Shen Liang Di, don't let the baby wear the little clothes she gave you. If she has bad intentions, it's not a joke."
Tao Liangyuan also nodded in agreement, "Concubine Xu is right. It's better to be more careful."
Shen Chu nodded, "I know, don't worry."
Chunxi put the small clothes given by Concubine Xue in a cloth bag and placed it in a separate place.
As the birth approached, the queen came almost every day.
"Shen Liang Di, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me as soon as possible so that the imperial physician can take a look."
Shen Chuwei touched her belly. Apart from the false labor, there was nothing wrong with her belly.
"Your Majesty, I am fine, and the babies are safe too."
"That's good. Don't be nervous. I have already made arrangements and will ensure that everything goes smoothly."
The queen had actually made arrangements long ago and had arranged three midwives, all of whom were experienced midwives.
Three imperial doctors were also arranged to be on standby at all times.
Twins may not be born from the same womb, so be fully prepared.
Because Shen Chuwei's due date was approaching, the emperor reduced his burden and Xiao Jinyan had some free time.
As time was getting closer, Xiao Jinyan became more and more nervous. He felt the nervousness of being a father for the first time and the nervousness of Xiaojiu giving birth.
In the late pregnancy, my appetite was poor and I also had symptoms of vomiting.
Shen Chuwei, on the contrary, enjoyed everything she ate and had no symptoms of nausea or vomiting.
At lunch, Shen Chuwei ate three bowls of rice and looked at the bowl of rice in front of Xiao Jinyan, which she hardly touched.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Jinyan put down the chopsticks in his hand, "I have no appetite."
Shen Chuwei noticed that Xiao Jinyan's appetite had not been very good in the past few days, "Your Highness, are you sick?"
"I don't know either. I haven't had much of an appetite these days, and I feel nauseous and want to vomit." Xiao Jinyan said. When he smelled the aroma of braised pork, his stomach churned. He covered his mouth and tried to hold back the feeling of vomiting.
Shen Chuwei saw something was wrong, put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up and walked over, took Xiao Jinyan's hand, and took his pulse.
Xiao Jinyan picked up the teacup and took a few sips of tea. When her stomach felt better, she spoke again, "I just feel a little uncomfortable. I will be fine in two days."
Shen Chuwei put down his hand and said, "Your Highness, it may be due to psychological reasons."
Xiao Jinyan asked doubtfully: "What do you mean?"
Shen Chuwei explained: "This is called pregnancy-associated syndrome, and it is also due to psychological reasons. These symptoms should have been experienced by this concubine, but now they are occurring in Your Highness."
Xiao Jinyan's eyes paused. It was the first time he heard of pregnancy-associated syndrome, but he was indeed too nervous and worried recently.
But soon, Xiao Jinyan felt relieved.
If these are what Xiaojiu should bear, he is willing to bear them now no matter how painful it is.
Only by experiencing it yourself can you understand how difficult it was for Xiaojiu to be pregnant.
"As long as you're okay."
Shen Chuwei felt a little distressed, "Your Highness seems to have lost weight in the past few days."
Xiao Jinyan said: "It's okay, I will be fine after you give birth."
Pregnancy-associated syndrome made Xiao Jinyan, a grown man, experience the feeling of being pregnant.
Shen Chuwei prepared some Lychee Plums for Xiao Jinyan.
Xiao Jinyan didn't like sour food, but this time was different. He ate the Liuliumei that Xiaojiu fed him and felt a lot better in his stomach.
In the last few days before the due date, Xiao Jinyan's symptoms became more obvious.
Shen Chuwei was eating crystal pork elbow. Xiao Jinyan vomited immediately after smelling the greasy taste, so she had to eat away from Xiao Jinyan.
Xiao Jinyan usually doesn't eat spicy or sour food, but for the first time ever, he ate spicy and sour potato shreds as an appetizer.
Shen Chuwei's only symptom is frequent urination.
I woke up several times at night, but fortunately I slept well and fell asleep immediately after going to the bathroom.
It’s a pity for Xiao Jinyan. Once he wakes up, it’s hard for him to fall asleep again.
Shen Chuwei felt extremely distressed when she saw the prince becoming increasingly thinner.
"Your Highness, I will sleep outside. This way, when I get up at night, Your Highness doesn't have to get up."
Xiao Jinyan refused directly: "How can that be possible? Sleeping outside is too dangerous."
Shen Chuwei said: "Your Highness, I am fine, I just need to get up at night."
Xiao Jinyan hugged her and said nonchalantly, "Xiaojiu, you don't have to pay attention to me. It's only a few days before the birth. Just get through it."
Shen Chuwei had no choice but to give up.
Every time she got up at night, Xiao Jinyan would still wake up and accompany her. He would only lie down beside her peacefully after she lay down on the bed.
On the day of the due date, Shen Chuwei stared at her round belly. The babies were very well behaved. Not only did they not move, they also slept soundly.
Xiao Jinyan stayed by Shen Chuwei's side the whole day, fearing that she would give birth suddenly while he was not around.
He sat next to Shen Chuwei, touched her belly and asked, "Are you going to give birth today?"
Shen Chuwei said: "I don't know either. It seems that the babies are not planning to check out yet."
Xiao Jinyan looked at her doubtfully, "Check out?"
Shen Chuwei explained: "The belly is like the baby's house. After it comes out, it's like giving up the house."
"No problem, let's wait and see tomorrow."
The Queen Mother came early in the morning, followed by a large group of people including midwives and imperial doctors.
"How do you feel? Do you have any stomachache?"
Shen Chuwei shrugged helplessly, "Empress, not yet, maybe we have to wait for two days."
Hearing this, the queen smiled and comforted him, "It's okay. So many days have passed. One or two days won't make a difference."
That night After Shen Chuwei got up to go to the bathroom, she lay down on the bed with the help of Xiao Jinyan. She felt a little pain in her stomach, but she didn't pay much attention to it at first.
Later, the pain became more and more intense, and she groaned uncomfortably, "Jinyan, my stomach hurts."
"Is it the same as before?" Xiao Jinyan thought it was another false contraction. He lowered his head and kissed her, trying to use this method to divert her attention.
After a long time, Xiao Jinyan finally let her go, "Does it still hurt?"
Shen Chuwei's cheeks flushed and her brows knitted tightly: "Jinyan, it still hurts. This time I'm afraid it's not fake. I'm about to give birth."

When Xiao Jinyan heard that she was about to give birth, she hurriedly got out of bed and told the slave who was keeping watch: "Notify the midwife and the imperial physician to prepare, Shen Liangdi is about to give birth."
Today was Chunxi's night watch day. When she heard the order, she trotted to call the midwife and the imperial physician.
Shen Chuwei groaned in pain.
Xiao Jinyan didn't know what to do, the only thing he could do was hug her.
"Xiaojiu, just bear with it a little longer. The midwife and the imperial physician will be here soon."
Shen Chuwei couldn't stand the pain anymore, thinking that the kiss just now seemed to have some effect, "Jinyan, how about you try another kiss?"
"Okay." Xiao Jinyan lowered his head and kissed her without saying a word, trying his best to divert her attention.
Fengyi Palace
The queen saw that the dog emperor was still not giving up. She wanted to scold him, but she didn't have the energy to do so. She could only let him do whatever he wanted.
After it was over, the queen closed her eyes and wanted to rest, but she heard Qingying talking outside the door: "Queen, Concubine Shen is about to give birth."
The queen suddenly opened her eyes and asked, "Is she going to give birth?"
Her precious grandson! Even if she was very tired, the queen had no intention of sleeping.
The emperor saw that the queen was so tired but still got up to put on her clothes. He sat up, grabbed her wrist and said, "It will be the same tomorrow."
"Your Majesty, please don't be anxious. I can't wait any longer. I must be the first to see my grandson." The queen withdrew her hand and continued to put on her clothes.
"Besides, this is Shen Liang Di's first time giving birth, and there is no one familiar with her. She must be scared. I can go over and cheer her up."
The emperor had no choice but to look at her clumsy hands and feet and said, "I'll help you put it on."
The queen did not refuse. He was the one who took off the clothes, and it was perfect for him to put them on again.
After putting on her clothes, the queen couldn't wait to open the door and walk out, leaving the emperor alone inside.
The emperor felt extremely depressed as he watched the queen disappear at the door.
When the queen arrived, the midwife and the imperial physician had already arrived.
The maids had already started boiling water and were bringing basins of it into the house.
"Your Highness, please get out."
"When a woman is giving birth, a man cannot stay in the delivery room."
Xiao Jinyan ignored the midwives' complaints. He felt so distressed when he saw Xiaojiu crying because of the pain.
Shen Chuwei knew that giving birth was painful, but this was too painful and she couldn't bear it.
“It hurts so much!!!”
The midwives were extremely anxious when they saw that His Highness refused to leave.
At this time, the queen pushed open the door and walked in.
The midwife came forward and said anxiously, "Empress, what if His Highness doesn't go out?"
The Queen looked at the bed and saw the Crown Prince holding onto Shen Liang Di. She stepped forward and said, "Crown Prince, go out and wait."
Xiao Jinyan raised his head and looked at the queen, his eyes firm: "Mother, I want to stay."
The Queen's voice deepened a little: "Prince, how can you say such nonsense? I am here, please go out and wait."
Shen Chuwei knew that there was no such thing as accompanying a woman during childbirth in ancient times. Ancient times were feudal and it was not good for men to see a woman giving birth.
She raised her head with difficulty and looked at Xiao Jinyan, enduring the pain and said, "Your Highness, please go out first."
Xiao Jinyan wiped the sweat off her forehead with a handkerchief, "I am worried about you."
The Queen continued, "I am here with you, so why should you worry? Go out quickly so that the midwives can deliver the baby."
Xiao Jinyan hesitated for a long time before standing up and leaving the room.
The queen came over and sat down on the bed. Looking at Shen Chuwei who was in extreme pain, she comforted her, "Let's try our best to give birth to the babies as quickly as possible, so that we can suffer less."
Shen Chuwei nodded, the pain had made her unable to speak.
Xiao Jinyan paced back and forth outside the door, watching the hot water being brought in, and blood coming out.
Because I can't see what's going on inside, I feel very anxious.
