Chapter 314 Production in Progress
"Then?"
"And then? It's not what you think at all!"
Looking at her daughter's familiar eyes full of gossip, the mother found it quite funny.
"The Xu family also comes from an aristocratic family. I am the youngest daughter in the family. When I was young, my health was not very good. I relied entirely on the prescriptions prescribed by the old doctor Sun to treat me.
Sun Tingyun is the second son in the family and is very talented in medicine, so he is the most favored by his grandfather. When he goes out to see patients, he often takes him with him. After a few visits, he and I have known each other since childhood, right?
Thinking of Fourth Brother Sun who was like a nerd when he was a child, Xu Ruoyu smiled.
"When he was little, he wasn't as smooth as he is now. He was quite dull. Every time I saw him, he was always singing songs and he didn't really hang out with us, the kids from the aristocratic families.
At that time, your second uncle was naughty and always liked to tease Sun Tingyun. But he was a good-tempered person who never got impatient. On the contrary, your second uncle was often so angry that he jumped up and down.
As he laughed, his eyes became more lonely.
"He and my second brother have a good relationship, so I always call him Fourth Brother Sun.
Seriously speaking, this guy is quite loyal. When your mother took me away, we owed him a favor."
Seeing that his mother was beginning to feel depressed, Jiang Wan quickly changed the subject.
"So our family has quite a connection with the Sun family? No wonder my father was able to easily hook up with Old Master Sun when he first arrived in the capital. It turns out he was just taking advantage of my maternal grandfather's influence, not because he's a talented person like my father said!"
"You mischievous girl, don't say that to your father again. He's very concerned about his reputation and will definitely be angry again."
"Even if I didn't tell him, he would have known. Tell me the truth, Mom, have you been so used to fooling my dad over the years that you've even started to believe what you've said?
I still remember when I was little, you always told us how great and smart my dad was, which made us siblings think that my dad must be a god in heaven!
Later, he suddenly came back to life, and Shui Lingling took over the old father's position. This made the second and third children question their lives again and again, fearing that we had recognized a fake father and would wake up one day from the dream.
Jiang Wan's tongue is still as sharp as ever. After becoming the Queen, she has to pretend to be a steady queen mother. It has been a long time since she has been able to speak freely and say whatever she wants.
When her daughter asked her about this, Mrs. Xu felt a little embarrassed, but she refused to admit that she was in love, so she tried to save her husband's face.
"What are you talking about, kid? Your father is clearly a wise fool! There were tens of thousands of people drafted into the army back then, but who else besides your father could have become one of the founding heroes?"
"That's right. I didn't say my dad wasn't great, it's just that you glorified him too much in the past, which is why we, his children, feel so dazed, hiss!"
While chatting, Jiang Wan felt his son kick him in the stomach again. He frowned and took a long breath.
"What's wrong? Is it hurting again? Quick, quick, let me help you lie down and take it easy!"
"No, it was just this guy who suddenly kicked me."
Jiang Wan smiled and comforted her mother.
"Maybe he really likes his grandfather and doesn't want to hear me complain about my dad."
Xu sighed helplessly.
"You're being so frivolous again. This is about giving birth! It's such a serious matter, why don't you treat it more seriously?"
"It's because this matter is too serious, which makes me a little nervous, so I can only pretend to be non-serious to ease the mood. Mother, please bear with me for a while!"
The mother and the daughter chatted about useless things to pass the time. The concubines in the harem who had heard the news arrived at Fengming Palace at the same time as the emperor.
"young married woman!"
Li Chengxiu ran to his wife's side, frightened himself as he ran, and all the tragic situations of his wife and children appeared before his eyes. After running over and seeing that the situation was okay, he dared to sit down on the edge of the bed.
"How is it? Does it hurt a lot?"
"It's okay. Why are you running away in such a hurry? You don't have the composure that an emperor should have. The censors will definitely nag you again later."
Jiang Wan endured the discomfort and raised her hand to straighten his collar, but the other party grabbed her hand, held it in his palm, and then brought it to his mouth and kissed it.
"What are you doing? My mother is still here..."
"Mother just went out! Didn't you hear the virtuous mother and the others coming? Mother went out to greet them."
Li Chengxiu rubbed his wife's hand on his face, with the heartache in his eyes unobstructed.
"Don't be afraid, Wanjie'er. I'm here with you. Maybe the pain will move away in a while, just like I vomited for you a few months ago. Maybe I can also feel the pain for you. Don't be afraid."
"You are an emperor after all, why are you talking nonsense?"
She clearly wanted to laugh, but her stomach suddenly hurt, and she failed to force a smile on her face.
"Oh my god!"
Jiang Wan cursed once more, feeling the pain now far more intense than at the beginning. Childbirth was truly the most painful thing in the world, and even a woman as swift as a female eagle found it difficult to bear.
She pulled her hand out of her husband's hand with all her strength, and then waved it as if chasing a dog.
"Go out first and call the midwife in."
"Is she about to give birth? My wife, hold on for now and wait for me to call someone! Come on, midwife, come in quickly, my wife is about to give birth!"
Li Chengxiu was obviously a little panicked. He ran to the door and yelled at the top of his lungs, which actually made his wife laugh out of anger.
He spat in amusement while panting to ease the pain.
"Bah, you're just talking nonsense. How can I bear to give birth to a child? Get out of here!"
"I'm not going out, I'm staying with you!"
As soon as the emperor said this, everyone who heard his call and ran to the door of the delivery room instantly looked miserable.
No, I've never heard of an emperor insisting on personally watching the empress give birth. What's the matter? Is he afraid that they will switch his son along the way?
The midwives didn't dare to voice their complaints, and could only rush in to help the Empress deliver the baby. However, His Royal Highness Prince An, who had come with the Emperor, was already gasping for breath and thrashing around in the courtyard.
"Your Majesty, this is truly unreasonable! I implore Your Majesty to leave the delivery room immediately and not delay the Empress's delivery.
emperor?
emperor?
emperor?
Li Laosi, come out here!"
Li Yuanxiu finally couldn't bear it anymore and broke down again.
"The baby in your wife's belly isn't just your son, it's the future of our Dayu Dynasty! If you delay things in there, don't blame me, big brother, for asking for family discipline in front of our father's tablet!"
Did you hear that?
Lao Si, come out here right now!"
