Chapter 300 New Year's Day
An hour later, Zhao Lan and Su Ruojin arrived at the Prince Consort's residence. The princess was in the delivery room waiting to give birth, and sounds of pain could be heard from time to time.
Su Yanzu was pacing anxiously at the door of the delivery room. When he heard footsteps, he looked up and saw, "Zi Jin, A Jin..."
Zhao Lan cupped his hands: "Lord Su——"
Su Ruojin looked towards the delivery room, but was blocked by the heavy curtains. "Uncle, Your Highness..."
Su Yanzu put his hand on his forehead and said, "I've had a stomachache since daytime and it's been almost a day and a night now..." He never knew that giving birth to a child was so dangerous for a woman. His bearded face showed nervousness and anxiety.
Su Ruojin reached out and patted him, "Don't worry, uncle, your highness will be fine."
Just as Su Yanzu was panicking, the midwife's voice suddenly came from the delivery room, "Five fingers... Your Highness... Five fingers... Push harder... I can already see the baby's head..."
"Ah...ah..." The princess cried out in even greater pain, "I...can't take it anymore..."
"Jingshu...Jingshu...how are you?"
Princess Yuehua's maiden name was Jingshu. Su Yanzu called her while trying to break in, but was stopped by the maid at the door, "My Lord, the princess is giving birth, men are not allowed to enter..."
Su Yanzu was so anxious that he kicked the guards. It seemed that the two guards were about to give up.
Su Ruojin stopped him, "Uncle, just stand here and cheer for His Highness!"
Su Yanzu turned to look at his niece, with a look of "Is your father like this?"
Su Ruojin: ...
She had no doubt at all about how much Su Yanli loved his wife. When Su Dalang and she were born, she didn't know whether their father had entered the delivery room. But when Su Sanlang was born, when Su Yanli wanted to rush in, she was attracted by her crying and didn't let him in.
Every woman wants her husband to stand by when she is giving birth. On the one hand, she feels safe having her husband by her side. On the other hand, she also hopes that her husband knows how hard it is to bear children for him, and she looks forward to receiving his wholehearted love for the rest of her life.
But many times, when men see the pain and hardship of a woman giving birth, they only see it as bloody and they dare not face it, which will cause unbearable memories. Instead of this, it is better to let them stand at the door of the delivery room and listen to their wife's thrilling pain during childbirth and the torment of waiting. In this way, they can better understand the difficulty of their wife giving birth to children.
Su Yanzu was persuaded by Su Ruojin. Although he did not go in, as she expected, her uncle's hands were shaking as he held the door frame. Even every time the princess screamed loudly, he wished he could give birth to a baby for her: "Jingshu... don't be afraid... I'll stand at the door. If you really can't hold on, we won't give birth..."
Zhao Lan: …
Su Ruojin: ...
Princess Yuehua in the delivery room had forgotten all the pain. The baby was already halfway there, so how could you ask her not to give birth?
The midwife had probably seen this kind of scene before and heard this kind of nonsense so many times that she was not affected at all. She delivered the baby skillfully while asking the maid to feed the princess a mouthful of ginseng soup. "Your Highness, hurry up. The baby's feet will come out soon and you will be free..."
…
The princess's screams in the delivery room became increasingly hoarse, and gradually became smaller, scaring Su Yanzu so much that he kept shouting, "Jingshu... Jingshu, please don't be in any trouble, Jingshu... I can't..."
Su Ruojin was listening to what his uncle could say to express his feelings, when suddenly——
With a cry, the baby was born.
Su Yanzu was delighted and tried to rush in again, but was stopped by the two maids again, "My Lord, please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
Zhao Lan and Su Ruojin looked at each other. Both the adult and the child were finally safe. He reached out and held the young lady's hand. In the cold early morning, he half-hugged her, waiting for the midwife to bring out the child and announce the good news.
Sure enough, the next moment, the midwife smiled and said, "Congratulations, my Lord! Your Highness has given birth to a big fat boy. I just weighed him and he weighed 6.2 jin. He will live a healthy life."
The baby was born rich and powerful when it came out of the princess's belly. The midwife didn't need to say much. She could only wish the child good health and safety.
As a father for the first time, Su Yanzu's hands and feet were frozen with excitement. He looked at the child's red and wrinkled face with gratitude: "Jingshu... Your Highness... Thank you for your hard work..."
Princess Yuehua, who was exhausted from life, heard the man say "thank you for your hard work", and suddenly, she felt that all the hard work was worth it. She smiled, and the family was finally complete.
She closed her eyes and fell asleep contentedly. She was so tired that she needed to take a rest.
It was the first day of the first lunar month, and this child really knew how to choose a day to be born. The midwife didn't dare to hold the child out for too long. After showing the child to Zhao Lan and Su Ruojin, she quickly took the child back to the room and started breastfeeding the child.
Half an hour later, the princess and the child were carried out of the delivery room and returned to their bedroom. It was dawn.
Zhao Lan and Su Ruojin said goodbye to Su Yanzu, "We'll come back after the baby's third birthday."
Su Yanzu bowed to the two of them and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Come back after breakfast."
The two of them had breakfast and left the Prince Consort's Mansion. Zhao Lan sent Su Ruojin to the Su family before turning back to the Prince Jin's Mansion. "Don't go out casually. I'll pick you up on the third day of the New Year."
"good."
In peaceful times, during the New Year, every household was filled with joy and laughter.
When Yang Si Niang opened her eyes, all she saw was silence. She was so hungry that she had no strength left in her body. She didn't want to get up. The busier it was outside, the more she wanted to die. So she decided to just starve to death.
But there was someone knocking on the door constantly, and she was so annoyed that she couldn't even want to die in peace. In a fit of anger, Ao stood up and was about to go out, but she was so hungry that her legs went weak and she fell on the cold ground.
She was in so much pain that tears were streaming down her face. She tried to hold back... to hold back from making any sound, but she eventually burst into tears.
"Knock knock..." Still knocking on the door.
"Here it comes!" Yang Si Niang shook her head and yelled. She thought her voice was very loud, but she had been hungry for a day and a night and had no strength at all. The sound was like a cat's meow. She could hear it herself and felt even more sad.
"Mom, I was wrong..." Why did she run out? Why did she come to see someone who didn't like him at all... She was wrong, and she would never be willful again.
Yang Si Niang didn't know how much effort it took to move to the gate of the courtyard, and how much effort it took to open the gate.
At the door, a little beggar was holding a food box. When he saw someone opening the door, he put the food box on the ground and ran away.
The weak Yang Si Niang stepped out of the door in surprise and looked around the alley outside. Who was bringing her food?
Sister? She didn’t even tell her where she lived. That wasn’t right. If it was her sister, they would have met, but not in this way.
Who was that? The opportunistic Pu Po? She sneered. If it was her, she would come back and cook for her.
Who else could it be? Yang Si Niang thought that there was always someone following him, could it be them? Is this food box poisonous?
