Chapter 369 Things Will Get Better
The child's words made Shangguan Jin feel a little sorry for him.
It's a bit chaotic today; it seems like everyone has forgotten about this child...
It seems that this child has never left the gates of this palace since he learned to walk.
He always thought that everything he had was this royal palace.
When his father suddenly disappeared, he didn't cry or make a fuss; he just obediently stayed with his mother.
As he watched his mother's belly grow bigger each day, he knew that he wouldn't be the only child in the yard anymore...
But suddenly, my mother lay in the house and couldn't get out.
As he watched basins of bloody water being carried out of his mother's room, all he could do was hold back his tears.
Otherwise, Mom will worry...
Seeing the child looking at her with a pleading expression, Shangguan Jin had no choice but to pat his head.
"Don't worry! The imperial physicians will be here soon, and your mother will be fine."
Why don't you go back to your room and wait a while?
"Maybe when you wake up, your mother will have given birth to a little brother or sister!" Shangguan Jin advised.
Xiao Yuzhi, however, stubbornly insisted on standing there.
"I want to stay with my mother."
That way, if my mother misses me, she can just call my name and see me.
Hearing the Qin Princess's almost uncontrollable cries of pain from inside the room, Shangguan Jin felt that such a young child could not be left here.
After thinking for a moment, she started to trick the child.
"Oh, I think I've just remembered something."
It is said that when a mother gives birth to her second child, as long as the child born before sincerely prays in the temple.
This child will be born very smoothly.
"Do you have a nunnery in your residence?" Shangguan Jin asked.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuzhi suddenly remembered the small nunnery in the backyard where his mother worshipped every day.
They say my grandparents live inside...
"Yes, in the backyard!"
"Madam Shen, will it really work? If I pray properly there, will my mother be able to give birth to my little sister safely?" Xiao Yuzhi asked anxiously.
Shangguan Jin nodded.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuzhi quickly wiped his face, removing all his tears, and then ran towards the backyard.
Shangguan Jin grabbed him and called over two maids.
"You two go with me, and remember to take good care of them."
It's still chilly in the mornings and evenings, so your duty is to take good care of your young master.
You don't need to worry about these things.
Seeing Xiao Yuzhi follow two maids to the backyard, Shangguan Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
Only after she spoke did she step into the room where the Princess of Qin was giving birth.
Princess Qin was lying on the bed with her hair disheveled, her face and head covered in sweat.
Sweat-dampened hair plastered to the forehead made one look even more vulnerable.
The midwife was also busy working on the sidelines, her brows covered in sweat.
“Madam Shen…” When Princess Qin saw that it was Shangguan Jin, her eyes seemed to brighten a little.
"How did it suddenly start? Last time someone came to check, didn't they say it would still be half a month?" Shangguan Jin grabbed the hand that Princess Qin had reached out to her.
Princess Qin gripped Shangguan Jin's hand tightly and took two deep breaths.
She felt as if her body was being torn apart.
I've never experienced this much pain, not even when I gave birth to Xiao Yuzhi.
"Madam Shen, I dreamt of Congze!" Princess Qin said in a trembling voice.
Shangguan Jin's heart skipped a beat.
I dreamt of the King of Qin? What does that mean?
Could it be that you dreamt of something bad happening to the King of Qin?
"You two have a deep relationship, isn't it normal for you to dream about him?"
It would be strange if you dreamed about someone else!
"Don't overthink it. Conserve your energy. You'll be fine once the imperial physicians arrive," Shangguan Jin quickly said.
Princess Qin gently shook her head.
The midwife just said the baby is breech, feet down...
"I...I dreamt that Congze was in the sea..."
"Such a vast and deep sea! And Cong Ze alone..." Princess Qin said haltingly.
"Nonsense, he went over there. What else could there be but the sea?"
You just overthink things.
Stop thinking nonsense.
Judging from your belly, it should be a girl inside!
I've heard that your husband really wants a daughter. You should make sure you give birth to this child.
"When he comes back one day, he'll be overjoyed!" That was all Shangguan Jin could say to comfort him.
Just as the Princess Consort of Qin was about to speak, another wave of pain struck, causing her to frown immediately.
After the contractions finally subsided, Princess Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Madam Shen, I have a favor to ask of you."
This time... I guess I can't escape it.
Zhi'er is only five years old. Could you please speak to His Majesty and ask him to find an ordinary farming family to take Zhi'er there after I leave?
Let him just be an ordinary citizen of Chongqing.
"There in Congze..."
"Nonsense! What nonsense are you thinking! Every woman faces the life-or-death struggle of childbirth."
You've given birth before, so why are you acting like you're going to die?
Furthermore, if you don't raise your own child and let someone else do it, do you think that person will treat them with care?
Just now, right outside your door, your son was squatting in the corner.
Her face was covered in tears, and she stood there stunned, unable to utter a sound.
Think about it, if you just leave like this, what will happen to him?
You know he's only five years old!
He watched as his own mother abandoned him and left.
And then, you want to give him away to someone else? Is that fair to the child?
Let me tell you, if I were you, I would conserve my energy now and listen to the imperial physician's advice when he arrives.
You can't rely on anyone else; the only one you can rely on is yourself.
Stop talking nonsense and conserve your energy. The imperial physician should be here soon.
Also, take the old ginseng I brought and slice it quickly.
When you feel weak, put two pieces in your mouth.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go!" Shangguan Jin glared at the personal maid of the Princess Qin who was wiping away tears beside her.
Upon hearing this, the personal maid quickly wiped away her tears, agreed, and went out.
The Queen Consort of Qin also cried.
Shangguan Jin knew she was also suffering, so she quickly took her hand and said...
No one has a smooth life.
The hard times are over, and every day from now on will be a good day.
In about ten days it will be the Dragon Boat Festival, and there will be dragon boat races outside the city!
When the time comes, I'll have my son take your kids to watch the dragon boat races.
Don't worry, I'll have it returned to you as soon as I'm done reading it. It won't get lost.
Princess Qin bit her lip and nodded.
At that moment, winter wheat also ran in.
"Miss, the imperial physicians have arrived!"
