Chapter 333: Averting Danger
After everyone in the courtyard was stunned for a moment, they rushed into the main room.
In a moment, the door of the delivery room was crowded with people.
"Chengwan, what are you doing?" Xia Zhengqi asked anxiously.
Xia Chengwan, the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, has always been a gentleman and rarely loses his composure like this.
The crown prince's eyes were filled with tears: "Father, Grandmother Wen said that Chuyue is exhausted..." "
Your son wants to go in and see her, maybe she can cheer up when she sees my son."
"But, there has never been a rule that men can enter this delivery room!" Rongpin said in embarrassment.
"Yes, Your Highness! This is the rule passed down by our ancestors!" Lord Rong echoed.
Mrs. Rong murmured, "The delivery room is so dirty, it would be bad luck for a man to go in."
"Let me, the mother, go in and take a look."
Mrs. Rong said, and then she made a gesture to push everyone aside and enter the delivery room.
[What a broken rule, it's a matter of life and death, what's wrong with my husband going in to take a look? ] Xia Miaoyuan shouted in her heart in anger.
[It's such a sacred thing for a woman to give birth to a child and nurture life, but it's said to be dirty. ]
[If it's really dirty, then what is the child born? Is it a pile of dirty garbage? ]
[Alas! The ancients were so pedantic! ]
[In my modern society, husbands can enter the delivery room to accompany their wives. 】
Hearing this, the Queen's heart was shocked, and she suddenly said: "Let Cheng Wan go in!"
"I was born and raised in the Northern Frontier, and there has never been a saying that the maternity rooms in the Northern Frontier are dirty."
"Besides, Cheng Wan is the crown prince of my Great Xia, and he has the blessing of his ancestors, so why should he be afraid of bad luck!"
The Queen's voice was loud and stunned everyone present.
[Well done, mother, you are a heroine! 】Xia Miaoyuan looked at her mother proudly.
At this time, Kezun, who was standing next to the empress, also spoke: "The empress is right. When I gave birth to her, her father came in to see me."
"There is no such rule in Northern Xinjiang. The adults and children are fine."
"Not allowing men to enter the delivery room is just a way of etiquette that despises women!"
[Ahhh, grandma is so supportive today! ]
[I love you so much! ]
Xia Zhengqi couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied when he heard his daughter praising the empress and Kezun in her heart.
He blurted out: "Chengwan, you go in! Don't worry about those broken rules."
"Today I will issue an edict to abolish this unjust and broken rule!"
[Ahhhh! Dad is truly a role model for our generation! He is simply a pioneer who dares to fight against feudal ethics! So awesome! 】
Xia Miaoyuan's mouth trembled with excitement.
Hearing that Emperor Mingxi had spoken, the servants no longer dared to stop them, and the door of the delivery room was opened.
The prince rushed in immediately.
Madam Rong, the Queen, and Concubine Rong also went in.
"Chuyue, hold on!" The prince ran to the bed, grabbed Rong Chuyue's hand, and said with tears.
"Your Highness, I have no strength..." Rong Chuyue was dying, her face was pale.
At this time, Nanny Song brought ginseng soup.
"Crown Princess, drink some ginseng soup, and you will have strength soon."
Without saying a word, the prince took the ginseng soup from Nanny Song's hand, and carefully fed it into Rong Chuyue's mouth one spoonful at a time.
Rong Chuyue only felt a trace of warmth rising in her heart, filling her chest.
"Chu Yue, I believe you can do it." The prince encouraged her while feeding her.
"Do you remember what we agreed on when we got married?"
"You said that we would have three children, and the eldest should be a boy. In this way, we can protect the younger brothers and sisters."
"You also said that you would be with me for the rest of our lives and grow old together."
"When we are both very old, we will sit hand in hand in the sunset every day."
"Now, our first child has not been born yet. How can you say such discouraging words?"
The prince kept talking, and while he was talking, he had already fed her a small bowl of ginseng soup.
The queen and the other two were all moved when they heard what the prince said.
Madam Rong walked to the bedside and said softly, "Chu Yue is the strongest. Mother believes you can do it!"
The Queen also said softly, "Chu Yue, Your Majesty, I, your parents, and your aunt are all with you. You can do it!"
At this time, I don't know whether it was the comfort of the Crown Prince and the others, or the effect of the bowl of ginseng soup, the Crown Princess seemed to be in much better spirits, and her almond eyes also had spirit.
"Okay, I can do it!" The Crown Princess bit her lip and spoke word by word.
Seeing this, the Queen took Madam Rong and Concubine Rong out first.
In the delivery room, except for Grandma Wen, Nanny Song, and several maids, there was only the Crown Prince left.
A maid had already moved a chair for the Crown Prince to sit on.
The Crown Prince sat next to the Crown Princess and held one of her hands tightly.
The Crown Princess sat up slightly and waited for the next wave of efforts again.
She raised her eyes to the widow and said, "Try again!"
The widow was overjoyed to see the change in the Crown Princess in such a short time.
"Okay!" The widow nodded heavily.
The widow in the palace has always been a high-risk profession. If the delivery goes smoothly, everything will be fine.
If it is a difficult delivery, and the adult or the child is not saved, the widow's life will be in danger.
When she saw the Crown Princess was exhausted just now, the widow was scared out of her wits and thought that her death was coming.
"Crown Princess, take a deep breath! Inhale, exhale, okay, inhale again."
The widow patiently guided the Crown Princess to adjust her breathing.
After seeing her breathing steady and strong, the old woman shouted loudly: "Crown Princess, try harder!"
The Crown Princess bit her lips tightly, one hand tightly pulled a cloth rope tied to the head of the bed, and the other hand tightly held the hand of the prince.
Looking at her face again, because of excessive force, the veins on her forehead bulged and her facial features were distorted.
"Chu Yue, come on, you can do it!" The prince encouraged gently.
"Great! I can see the baby's hair." The old woman shouted excitedly.
"Push harder!"
The Crown Princess increased her strength again, and blood instantly came out of her lips.
At this time, everyone was anxiously waiting outside the delivery room, and Xia Miaoyuan was even more anxious.
At this time, the sound of "Wow..." came out.
"It's born! It's born! The Crown Princess is born!" The mother-in-law's loud voice also came out.
The Crown Princess showed a weak smile on her face. She looked at the Crown Prince with all her strength, as if she had a thousand words to say.
"Chu Yue, you are really amazing!" The Crown Prince held the Crown Princess's hand and cried with joy.
