The whole person was trembling, afraid that something unexpected would happen.
His grandson was very stubborn. He wouldn't let any woman get close to him except Chi Xingyue.
For the sake of his grandson's future life, Qingfengyuan cannot have any mistakes.
The old lady stood at the gate, not letting anyone in or out. She also asked Ling Yi and Yin Bao to keep an eye on them, fearing that someone might do something bad.
Erzhu and Lingsan rode their horses towards the Hanlin Academy. Before they were halfway there, they encountered the palace's carriage.
Ling Jiheng lifted the curtain but didn't ask.
Erzhu yelled at the top of his lungs, "Master, the lady is about to give birth!"
Ling Jiheng was startled and jumped off the car. He pulled down the second pillar and jumped on the horse: "I'll go first, you sit in the back!"
Erzhu stretched out his hand and wanted to say something, but found that his master had already run away.
Even Ling San turned around and left him with a horse's butt.
Jinbao raised his hand and knocked on the back of Erzhu's head: "What are you standing there for? Get in the car!"
Erzhu came to his senses and hurriedly climbed up.
Two horses and a cart were galloping on the road, scaring the pedestrians on both sides of the road to get out of the way.
After they left, he was still muttering, "Whose company is this? So ostentatious!"
"Maybe something urgent has happened. Looking at their faces, they seem quite anxious!"
Ling Jiheng returned to the Ling family at an unprecedented speed and headed straight for Qingfeng Courtyard.
The maids and servants in the house thought that the person disappeared in just a gust of wind.
Everyone was speculating about the extent of Ling Jiheng's kung fu skills.
Could it be that he is even more powerful than the eldest and fourth sons who are generals?
Ling Jiheng arrived at Qingfeng Courtyard and subconsciously rushed in.
The old lady quickly stopped him: "What are you doing in the delivery room as a man? You're bringing bad luck!"
Ling Jiheng's eyes turned red: "Grandma, that's my wife in there. She's giving birth to my child. How can you say it's unlucky?"
The old lady choked and thought to herself that it was indeed true.
Women risk their lives to reproduce for men, so why should they reap the rewards without working for them and even use the most vicious words to belittle women?
Although I thought so in my heart, I said: "It's right to listen to grandma."
Everyone does this. If her grandson makes an exception, he might be criticized by those old-fashioned people and his career might be affected.
Ling Jiheng didn't care. He had excellent hearing and was in great confusion when he heard the cries of pain in the room.
However, he accurately caught Chi Xingyue's murmur: "Don't, don't come in, just outside."
The voice was weak, but he heard it clearly.
He paced beside the old lady, his brows furrowed so much that they could almost kill a fly.
The midwife in the room observed the situation and found that the cervix was dilated, so she instructed Chi Xingyue to push harder.
However, giving birth is not something that can be done overnight. After crying and wailing in the room for nearly an hour, the cervix was only three fingers dilated.
Chi Xingyue felt like she was almost out of strength.
The midwife also noticed it and hurriedly asked someone to bring food.
The food was prepared in advance and kept warm in the pot. When we asked for it, it was brought in immediately without any delay.
Chi Xingyue was held by Baozhu and ate a simple meal. Then, when no one was paying attention, she put her hand to her mouth and drank a large gulp of the spiritual spring water.
The pain improved again, giving her a chance to breathe.
The midwife became anxious when she saw that the person stopped calling.
He glanced at the situation under the quilt and comforted Chi Xingyue: "It's almost there, don't give up."
Chi Xingyue nodded, and when the pain hit her, she increased her strength. Her clenched fingers nearly tore the silk sheets.
But he still had the mind to stop Baozhu from going to the end of the bed, fearing that she would have psychological trauma.
Time passed little by little and the room became dark.
The little girl took out the candle that Ling Jiheng had specially prepared, lit it, and placed it in the position that Ling Jiheng had planned in advance. The room instantly became bright.
To lighten the mood, Baozhu joked with a smile, "Look, Madam Second Young Master, there's not even a shadow in this room. Second Young Master is truly capable!"
Chi Xingyue twitched the corner of his mouth and said unconvincedly: "I can do it too!"
"Yes, yes, my Second Young Master's wife is also amazing!"
The room was quiet for a moment, then quickly became lively. It was as if the heaviness from earlier had vanished, leaving behind only a sense of lightness.
The pain came again, and Chi Xingyue screamed: "Ah!"
"Hurry, hurry, I see the end, Princess, push harder!"
Chi Xingyue took a deep breath and tried again.
After several attempts, I finally felt something slipping out of my body.
He lay on the bed as if he had lost all his strength, not saying a word, only his chest heaving rapidly.
The baby's cry of "wa" dispelled the tense atmosphere in the room and spread into everyone's heart like sunshine.
Ling Jiheng's stiff legs suddenly went limp, and he staggered forward with tears in his eyes.
The midwife cut the baby's umbilical cord, cleaned it briefly, and said excitedly: "Congratulations, princess, you gave birth to a big fat boy."
Chi Xingyue glanced around and found that he could not see anything except the swaddling clothes.
The little maid carefully placed the baby in the crib next to her. Chi Xingyue's eyes moved and she felt her body moving again.
"Princess, push harder, there's another one in your belly!"
Chi Xingyue wanted to nod, but found that she had no strength at all.
However, the second one was easier to give birth to than the first one, and it came out in just a few minutes.
The midwife exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my! It's another boy! The princess is so lucky!"
Baozhu muttered softly, "Second Young Master is so lucky!"
Chi Xingyue smiled weakly, thinking that it was all good. She didn't favor boys over girls, but life was indeed harder for girls in ancient times.
Boys are better.
Moreover, with these two, she won't have to have another child.
The Ling family had no reason to complain when someone inherited the family line.
The baby's cries, one louder than the other, made the old lady and Shu Muyun feel extremely itchy.
But the delivery room was not ready yet, so they couldn't come in. They could only wait patiently outside.
The old man slapped his thigh as he arranged the firecrackers, thinking that his second grandson had really brought him honor.
Twins, both boys, this indicates that the Ling family will prosper from now on!
The shackles that had bound the old man for decades vanished at this moment. His wrinkled face was filled with a hearty smile.
The midwife helped Chi Xingyue to clean up her body very experiencedly and also reminded her of a few things to pay attention to during the confinement period.
Chi Xingyue nodded and asked Baozhu to send the midwife away.
As soon as the two opened the door, they were surrounded by the Ling family.
"Congratulations, the princess has given birth to two little boys. The older one weighs 4.12 jins, and the younger one weighs 4 jins. The two little boys are fair and tender, and so handsome."
The midwife went around congratulating everyone and received a dozen or so red envelopes, each generous.
Especially Ling Jiheng's, it was actually a banknote. You didn't even need to open it to know it was indispensable.
She laughed so hard she wanted to give the Ling family a piece of cake, thinking that they were indeed wealthy clients. This single order was worth several years' worth of her earnings.
The old lady politely asked someone to send the midwife back, and then went into the house excitedly.
Seeing Chi Xingyue's tired look, he couldn't help but slow down his pace.
"Girl, thank you for your hard work!"
Chi Xingyue smiled and shook his head, feeling particularly satisfied.
