Chapter 332 Crown Princess in Danger
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhengqi slapped his head and said, "Look at my brain. I have forgotten Cheng Wan."
"Quick, quick, hurry up and get on your carriage and go back to the mansion first, so that the Crown Princess can have a backbone."
Xia Zhengqi slapped the Crown Prince's shoulder so hard that he staggered.
"Your son obeys your order!" The Crown Prince shouted and ran out of Yu's study like a fly.
Before long, the Queen, Kezun, and Rongpin were all ready and came to Yu's study together to meet with Xia Zhengqi.
Xiao Wanyin was not in the palace because she went back home two days ago.
The group took three carriages and drove towards the Crown Prince's Mansion.
When they arrived at the main courtyard of the Crown Prince's Mansion, the Crown Prince was pacing back and forth in the courtyard anxiously.
The Crown Princess's parents, Lord Rong and Madam Rong, were also standing by, waiting anxiously.
When the Rong family saw the Emperor, Empress and others coming, they hurriedly saluted.
"My dear, no need to be polite!" Xia Zhengqi stepped forward and supported Lord Rong's arm.
"Madam Rong, how is Chu Yue now?" The Empress asked with concern.
Madam Rong said with a bitter face, "She has been in the delivery room for an hour, but she hasn't been born yet!"
"The nanny beside her said that she started to have a dull abdominal pain after breakfast today. The nurse who was prepared in advance in the mansion said that she had started to have strangulation."
"The nurse asked her to walk around in the yard more, saying that this would speed up the birth."
"It's noon now, and she hasn't been born yet..."
Madam Rong said this, tears welling up in her eyes.
The Queen stepped forward and held Madam Rong's hands tightly: "Don't worry, dear, we have invited the most experienced mother-in-law in the palace. Chuyue will definitely give birth to the baby smoothly."
Rongpin was standing beside Madam Rong just now and listening. When she heard this, she was also very anxious.
She walked to Madam Rong's side, held her arm, and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, isn't it said that women give birth slowly for the first time?"
"Look at Chuyue, she has been strong since she was a child. She is not a delicate and weak woman. She will definitely give birth smoothly."
With the comfort of the Queen and Rongpin, Madam Rong's tears were reduced a little.
Since Xia Miaoyuan came to the main courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, his eyes have never been idle.
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princesses all like quietness. Normally, the main courtyard is very quiet, and there are not many servants serving. But now, the main courtyard is too lively.
Maids and servants are busy coming in and out.
Basins of hot water are sent in.
In the middle of the courtyard, Xia Zhengqi and his group are standing full again.
At this time, the huge main courtyard of the Crown Prince's Mansion is like a market.
[Alas, I never gave birth to a child in my previous life, so I really have no experience in this. ]
[I don’t know how my sister-in-law is now. ]
Xia Miaoyuan observed the servants coming in and out, while complaining in her heart.
She slowly walked to the window of the delivery room, and could faintly hear the suppressed moans of Crown Princess Rong Chuyue.
Her scalp tingled just by hearing it.
[Oh my god, my sister-in-law must be in so much pain.]
At this time, the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion walked into the courtyard.
"Your Majesty, Empress, Concubine Rong, Lord Rong, Madam Rong, it's already past lunch time, don't get too hungry."
"I have prepared some cakes for you, everyone, just eat some to fill your stomach!"
As they said that, a few maids came over from behind the housekeeper, and the maids placed plates of cakes on the stone table.
Xia Zhengqi frowned: "You guys eat, I can't eat."
The Queen and Concubine Rong waved their hands at Xia Zhengqi.
Lord Rong and Madam Rong also frowned, and couldn't eat at all.
The prince was so focused on Rong Chuyue that he didn't even care about drinking.
There was a table of cakes, but no one touched it.
Xia Miaoyuan was frightened by Rong Chuyue's low cry and moved away from the window. But after a while, she was too worried and wanted to know what was going on in the delivery room, so she walked closer to the window.
She heard the loud voice of the mother-in-law in the delivery room.
"My queen, take a deep breath!"
"Let's slow down and keep pushing. When I tell you to push, you push!"
[From the looks of it, my sister-in-law should be giving birth soon, right?]
In the delivery room, Rong Chuyue was soaked to the skin, and her hair looked like it had been pulled out of the water.
Her pretty face was now bloodless and pale.
After several hours of contractions and nearly an hour of labor, she was exhausted.
"Mammy, I'm so tired. I feel like I have no strength left." Rong Chuyue said weakly to Mammy Song beside her.
Mammy Song was Rong Chuyue's personal servant and was brought there as a dowry from the Rong Mansion.
At this moment, Mammy Song's eyes were red and she held Rong Chuyue's hand tightly: "Crown Princess, you must hold on!"
Xia Miaoyuan heard this and cried out in her heart that something was wrong.
[Why do I feel like my sister-in-law seems to be exhausted? ]
[If in modern times, if a woman does not have the strength to give birth, will she be taken directly to the operating room for a caesarean section? ]
[Ah! But there was no caesarean section in ancient times. If my sister-in-law cannot give birth, she will die! 】
Xia Miaoyuan thought of this, and clenched his fists as hard as stone.
At this time, the voice of the grandmother came from the delivery room again.
"Hurry up and bring the ginseng soup over to the Crown Princess, she is exhausted!"
The grandmother's tone was urgent and her voice was loud. Most of the people waiting in the courtyard heard it.
Everyone's heart was tense.
Everyone involuntarily took a few steps towards the delivery room.
"Chu Yue, how are you?" The prince heard this and ran to the door of the delivery room in a hurry.
But the two maids guarding the door stopped him.
"Your Highness, men are not allowed to enter a place like the delivery room."
"Men will be in trouble if they enter. You are a rich lady, so you are even more forbidden to enter."
[What should I do? What should I do? ]
[I don't know if the ancient ginseng soup will work! ]
[My sister-in-law also needs spiritual comfort at this time! ]
Xia Miaoyuan muttered in his heart and followed the prince to the door of the delivery room.
[Bullshit rules, men are not allowed to go in to accompany their wives when they give birth! What kind of bullshit is this! ]
Xia Miaoyuan saw the maids stopping the prince and couldn't help cursing in his heart. When
the prince heard his sister's words, he seemed to be greatly encouraged. He pushed the two maids away and pushed the door of the delivery room vigorously.
"I don't care! Let me go in and take a look!"
"Chu Yue is my wife. She is risking her life to give birth to my child. Why can't I go in?"
The prince shouted in a panic, slapping the door with his palm.
However, the door of the delivery room was locked from the inside. The prince tried very hard but failed to push it open.
The prince's action instantly shocked everyone in the courtyard.
