Meanwhile, Chen Zhiyan is about to give birth.
Wei Wangqing wished she could stay by his side every moment, because her belly was so big and she was worried about him.
I'm so afraid that Ayan's belly will burst from the baby's stretching.
The officials were the ones who were most aware of Wei Wangqing's emotions.
Wei Wangqing would restrain himself a bit in front of Chen Zhiyan, so as not to let him see his inner fear and avoid making him worry as well as he did.
But she didn't have that much patience when dealing with civil and military officials.
As a result, during this period, every time the officials went to court, they were met with a hail of bullets, constantly having to be wary of the Empress's cannonballs.
Make sure you don't do anything wrong, or you'll get criticized.
The Empress wouldn't physically punish them, but the mental anguish was far more devastating.
Everyone has gained a clear understanding of the Queen's mouth during this period.
That's enough to kill someone without consequence!
So much so that all the officials were even more eager for the little princess to be born than the queen herself; if she wasn't born soon, they would all lose their lives!
However, it wasn't without its gains; the only gain was a better understanding of the extent to which the emperor was favored.
Finally, after the two finished their meal, they took a walk in the palace to digest their food.
Chen Zhiyan suddenly felt a series of cramping pains in his stomach.
"Ah Qing, Ah Qing, I think I'm going into labor," Chen Zhiyan said, holding Wei Wangqing's arm.
"I know, don't say anything, save your strength." With that, he picked up Chen Zhiyan and strode towards the delivery room.
Everything was ready, and we were just waiting for the baby to be born.
Wei Wangqing carried the baby into the delivery room, where a row of midwives stood waiting.
Upon seeing this, they hurriedly called out, "Your Majesty, please go out; we'll take care of things here."
Wei Wangqing was also panting heavily; taking care of Ayan and two children was no easy task.
"Please help Ayan check on me, I'm fine right here," Wei Wangqing said, panting heavily.
For a moment, Wen Gong was at a loss. How could a woman be present when a man is giving birth? But the other party was the emperor. If he insisted on doing so, what could they do?
It was Chen Zhiyan who spoke up: "My lady, you should go out first. I still have to wait a while before I can give birth."
The main reason was that he didn't want his wife to see his ugly and ferocious side; he wanted to always be the best in her eyes.
"Don't you want me to be with you?" She thought he would need her.
"You're with me even when you're out there, I know you're there."
"Okay, I'll go out then."
He turned to Wen Gong and said, "I do not wish to see the Empress suffer any harm."
Wen Gong quickly agreed, saying that royal duties were not easy to perform.
The empress changes her face so quickly; she's all gentleness towards the king and queen, but turns around and shows no mercy to them.
Then Wei Wangqing left, turning back every few steps, and before leaving, he called out, "Call me if you need anything, I'm right outside the door."
She was really worried; in ancient times, giving birth was like stepping into the gates of hell.
Chen Zhiyan found it somewhat amusing, "My lady, please go out now, I understand."
As soon as Wei Wangqing stepped out, Chen Zhiyan immediately lost control of his facial expression, which twisted and twitched in pain.
"Oh dear, my water has broken, Your Majesty, you are too patient!" Duke Wen exclaimed.
"Quickly, prepare hot water and ginseng slices."
"Your Majesty, please don't exert yourself, wait a little longer." This wasn't enough.
Wei Wangqing paced anxiously outside the door, feeling as if each second was an eternity; time was passing far too slowly.
Suddenly I thought of Wu Changming, why not bring him into the palace for a visit?
One more person means one more person.
I would immediately instruct people to do it as soon as I thought of it, which also helped to distract myself, otherwise I would be too nervous.
Chen Zhiyan, inside the room, was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.
Meanwhile, Wu Changming was rushed to Wei Wangqing's side.
"You, you go and check on Ayan for me."
Wu Changming found Wei Wangqing's anxious demeanor quite novel, but...
"I'm not an expert in obstetrics, Your Majesty." Besides, the witch clan is all women who give birth; he's never seen a man give birth before.
"Oh dear, I don't care, you go in and see for yourself. If it doesn't work, come out and tell me how it is."
Wu Changming felt that Her Majesty the Empress was being unreasonable, but considering her concern, he decided not to argue with her.
He lifted his foot and walked into the house.
Wei Wangqing was getting impatient with his leisurely pace, so she kicked him in the butt and said, "Hurry up!"
Huh? My temper is short-tempered?
Is this how she treats her savior?
I endured it; she was the empress, so I endured it.
Hmph, when he gets out, I'll definitely give her a good beating. He won't forgive her unless I give him ten precious medicinal herbs.
But Wu Changming quickened his pace and entered the house.
Wei Wangqing anxiously pressed his finger against the door to see if he could hear anything.
After listening for a while, Wei Wangqing was extremely frustrated. Was it because the house was too soundproof?
The inner room.
Wu Changming was so shocked by the scene that he couldn't speak. It was terrifying that having a child could torment the aloof and refined Young Master Chen into such a state.
However, looking at the busy Wen Gong, it seemed that he really couldn't help much.
It took Chen Zhiyan a while to recover; the initial pain had subsided, and the current slight ache was bearable.
Looking at Wu Changming, who stood there out of place, she asked, "Did the mistress send you?"
"Yes, she's worried about you."
Chen Zhiyan smiled upon hearing this; he knew it.
Wu Changming was puzzled. How could he still laugh in this situation?
"Go out and tell her I'm fine."
