"Brother..." Shangguan Yajing's eyes were blurred with tears.
"Don't be afraid." Shangguan Changyu, as the eldest brother, remained calm, even though he was also frightened.
"It was the same when your Concubine gave birth to you. Don't worry, she will survive." The old princess hugged her granddaughter in her arms to comfort her.
Under the instruction of Mrs. Xie, Yu Yuanzheng exerted force a few more times.
"I've seen the end. Princess, please try harder." Little Xie shouted in surprise.
The two sisters, one on the side and one in front, were ready to hand over tools and provide support at any time.
Yu Yuanzheng clenched his teeth and pushed downward with all his strength.
After a tearing pain, something slipped out from her lower body.
"It's born, it's born, it's a little girl."
Mrs. Xie quickly cleaned the baby and wrapped him in the prepared brocade.
Shangguan Ziqi kissed his wife's sweaty forehead: "The first one came out, Madam has suffered."
He picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat off his wife's face.
A loud baby cry reached their ears.
Yu Yuanzheng smiled weakly. Before she could even look at her daughter, her expression suddenly turned grim. She tightened her grip on Shangguan Ziqi's hand, "Something's wrong. It hurts. It's different from before."
Mrs. Xie's expression changed drastically after the examination: "Not good. The second baby is in an abnormal position, with its feet facing downwards."
The atmosphere in the delivery room suddenly became tense.
"Princess, bear with it. I will adjust it for you and see if it can be straightened. If it doesn't work, you can only give birth vertically. The baby is not big, so it shouldn't be a problem."
Shangguan Ziqi's body tensed up when he heard this.
"Hurry up." He ordered coldly.
Seeing how hard it was to give birth to the first baby, and the fetus was in an abnormal position, his heart felt like it was burning in flames.
Mrs. Xie came to feel the fetal position for Yu Yuanzheng, but there was more than one baby in the belly and she couldn't feel it accurately.
"Madam!" Shangguan Ziqi knelt beside the bed, his voice choking with sobs, "I can't leave you alone, you must hold on. We won't have any more children in the future."
Yu Yuanzheng reached out and touched her husband's cheek: "Trust me, I can do it."
The next two quarters of an hour were the longest moment in Shangguan Ziqi's life.
He watched his wife almost faint from the severe pain, and was forcibly awakened by Yu Yueyin using ginseng soup.
Yu Yuanzheng's nails left deep bloody marks on his arm, and her screams made the three children outside the door burst into tears.
"It's finally adjusted." Mrs. Xie breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, Yu Yuanzheng was about to faint from the pain.
"Princess, do you still have strength?" Mrs. Xie used almost all the experience she had gained in her life.
Moreover, she clearly felt that the princess was pregnant with more than one baby, which meant it was most likely the third baby.
She had decided that after delivering this baby, she would never deliver another one. She was already old.
Finally, after a scream that was almost inhuman, the second baby was born.
"Another young lady!" Little Xie's voice was filled with surprise.
Yu Yuanzheng was barely able to catch his breath, but he still asked faintly, "There's... there's another one."
Shangguan Ziqi's eyes were red as he shook his head: "That's enough, that's enough."
He wished his wife was only pregnant with two babies, but reality made him want to escape.
"No...I can feel it...he's still in my tummy."
Mrs. Xie checked and confirmed: "There is indeed another one, the fetal position is normal, but the princess's physical strength..."
"I can do it. Give me another bowl of ginseng soup." Yu Yuanzheng closed his eyes and gathered his last bit of strength.
Yu Yueyin immediately brought it over and fed him.
The baby cannot be kept in the stomach for too long.
After waiting for just a moment, he continued.
“Princess, your contractions are very weak right now. I need to push them a little to make them come down smoothly.” Mrs. Xie began massaging with experienced techniques.
When she felt a contraction, she pushed slowly with both hands from top to bottom.
"Sister, pay attention!" Mrs. Xie felt the movement of the fetus and shouted.
Yu Yueyin also watched closely, ready to respond at any time.
"Ah..." Yu Yuanzheng let out a long scream.
But her voice was hoarse.
As she screamed, a baby slid smoothly out of the womb.
When the baby's loud cry echoed throughout the delivery room, Yu Yuanzheng finally fainted from exhaustion.
"It's a little kid." Little Xie announced excitedly.
Mrs. Xie also breathed a sigh of relief.
The queen continued to touch Yu Yuanzheng's belly to help her expel the bag of clothes.
"Hey, that's not right, why is there still something inside?" Mrs. Xie screamed.
"What do you mean?" Shangguan Ziqi was shocked.
"Your Highness, it seems like the princess is pregnant with another baby." Mrs. Xie couldn't believe her own feeling.
She touched it again carefully.
"Your Highness, that's right. Hurry, wake up the princess. Time is running out, or she will suffocate to death in the stomach." Mrs. Xie's hands were shaking.
She had delivered countless babies in her life and had never encountered a situation like this.
Shangguan Ziqi's eyes were so red that blood seemed to be dripping out.
What should I do?
Yu Yueyin didn't even think about it and quickly pinched Yu Yuanzheng's philtrum.
Nothing must happen to my eldest sister and the children.
Yu Yuanzheng was awakened by the pain, and with hazy eyes she looked at Yu Yueyin who was magnified in front of her.
"Sister, wake up quickly, there is another baby in your belly." Yu Yueyin shouted anxiously.
She was worried that her elder sister had fallen asleep again.
At this time Shangguan Ziqi was at a loss.
I couldn't control myself anymore and burst into tears.
"Madam......!" At this moment, a trace of despair arose in his heart.
"Brother-in-law, please stop crying. My sister needs your encouragement." Yu Yueyin also wanted to cry, but now was not the time.
Shangguan Ziqi blinked fiercely several times.
"Husband...I read a book before...It said that inner strength can be transmitted to others...Is it true?"
Before Yu Yuanzheng could finish her words, Shangguan Ziqi immediately stood up and put his hand on her back.
At this moment, he really hated himself. Why didn't he think of this?
A long-lasting internal force slowly injected into Yu Yuanzheng's body.
With the support of this power, Yu Yuanzheng felt much more relaxed.
When a contraction came, she felt much stronger than before.
"That's great. Princess, just like that, harder." Little Xie shouted.
After that, I used only one force and the tiny thing slipped out again.
"Another little baby. All were born safely. The princess is the most amazing mother I have ever seen."
The child was handed over to Yu Yueyin to take care of.
Shangguan Ziqi did not check on the child immediately, but held his wife's hand tightly, and was relieved only after confirming that her pulse was stable.
He carefully kissed Yu Yuanzheng's bloodless face and whispered softly: "Thank you, thank you for coming through."
A man's tear fell on Yu Yuanzheng's cheek.
"Husband, I am the reincarnation of a lucky star, how could anything happen to me?" After Yu Yuanzheng said this, she tilted her head and fell asleep from exhaustion.
After everything was packed, Yu Yueyin came out to announce the good news, but she didn't bring the child out because it was too cold outside.
Only then did everyone know that Yu Yuanzheng had four children, not the maximum three as they had guessed.
Everyone was so frightened that they cried out to God.
The three children could no longer hold back and rushed into the delivery room.
Seeing their unconscious father lying on the bed and four babies in swaddling clothes, the three of them cried and laughed.
"Princess Qi." The three children rushed to Yu Yuanzheng with tears in their eyes.
But their concubine couldn't agree at all.
"Your Majesty, it's all my fault." Shangguan Yajing apologized helplessly.
Shangguan Ziqi patted her on the shoulder and said, "Help your concubine take good care of her four brothers and sisters in the future."
He couldn't blame his daughter. No one had expected that his wife would give birth to four babies.
"Two younger sisters and two younger brothers." Shangguan Yajing carefully picked up the eldest sister who was born first, and her tears dripped on the baby's delicate cheeks. "Concubine Li is so amazing."
Shangguan Ziqi finally stood up and looked at the four students one by one.
They were all small, but looked healthy. He gently touched each child's face, then turned to his wife sleeping on the bed, his eyes full of tenderness.
"King, please give your younger brothers and sisters some names." Shangguan Changyu suggested in a low voice.
"Just like you guys, I'll call him Sibao, Wubao, Xinbao, and Qibao first, and then I'll give him a full name when he's one month old."
When Yu Yuanzheng woke up again, it was already the next morning and the morning sun was shining through the glass window onto the bed.
"Madam, how do you feel?" Shangguan Ziqi looked at her, waiting for her to wake up.
"Princess Lu, how do you feel?" The three children also gathered around the bed.
"I'm still alive?" Yu Yuanzheng asked in surprise.
