Chapter 319 Giving birth

As for which piece of fabric Chu Cong chose, Chu Cong took it out generously and said, "This piece of fabric can be used to make seven skirts, one for each of the six of us plus Qi Lan."

The six people she was referring to were six maids.

Chu Fei and Chu Lin jumped up, hugged her and said thank you.

Nuanyu and others are also very grateful. You must know that these are the fabrics rewarded by the queen. They are all top quality. Chu Cong can keep them for dowry.

"Then I'll send it to Yusha Pavilion and ask Qi Lan to ask the embroiderer to make it for us." Chu Cang said.

Xia Zihan asked her about the Second Prince's Mansion.

Chu Cong said, "The second prince is coming back soon. Everyone in the second prince's palace is busy now, and the second princess is also very busy. The servants have not seen her for several days."

"In the whole house, the most idle people are probably Princess Qinghui and the Fifth Young Master."

"Miss Li sent her maid to deliver several kilograms of snacks yesterday, saying they were made by her own hands. Princess Qinghui only looked at them and didn't eat any of them. She gave them all to her slave."

"When the servant saw that Princess Qinghui didn't give Miss Li a gift in return, she even mentioned it deliberately. Princess Qinghui said angrily, 'She gave me a gift of her own free will. I didn't ask her to give it, but instead Ha, she forced me to accept it, why should I give her a gift in return?'"

"It seems that Princess Qinghui dislikes the gentle and generous Miss Li."

Of course I won't wait to see you.

Li Ke had offended Princess Qinghui. As Li Ke's sister, Li Tong was implicated by Li Ke. Of course Princess Qinghui would not like her.

Moreover, Ao Tianchen carried the second princess to Jiangnan to fight in order to protest against marrying a girl from the Li family as a concubine.

It's strange that Princess Qinghui would like a girl from the Li family.

Not only Princess Qinghui hates the Li family girl, but the second princess may not like her either.

It's strange that the second princess would like a daughter-in-law who was forced into her through kindness and who forced her son to go to the battlefield.

Therefore, Princess Yu's plan to send Li Tong to the Second Prince's Palace was wrong from the beginning.

Rather than using kindness to force the Second Prince's Palace to accept Li Tong, it would be better to let the Second Prince's Palace owe the Yu family a life-saving grace.

The Yu family can save this favor until it is needed most.

It was so easily used on Li Tong. To be honest, it was such a waste.

When Chu Cong returned to the Second Prince's Mansion, Xia Zihan asked her to bring a pot of peach blossom shochu that the cook had brewed for ten years. She also told Chu Cang, "Tell Princess Qinghui that after the Second Prince and the Young Prince come back, Ask her to let you come back.”

"This slave also has this plan." Chu Cong said.

Although he was teaching Princess Qinghui martial arts, it was still inconvenient because he was in someone else's house.

Moreover, if he stayed in the Second Prince's Mansion for a long time, he would be afraid of arousing suspicion and causing unnecessary trouble.

After the second prince and the young prince returned to Beijing, Chu Cong said goodbye to Princess Qinghui. Princess Qinghui was reluctant to let him go and had to let him go.

She held Chu Cong's hand pitifully, "Once a teacher, always a mother. In the future, if you are in trouble, or if my sister Chu Yu is in trouble, you can come to me."

"Thank you so much, Princess Qinghui." As long as she is willing to let him go, then anything can be said. "I'll take my leave, then."

"Well, go ahead, go ahead, leave quickly. If you don't leave, I will regret it." Princess Qinghui let go of her and waved her hand, looking like she was about to regret it.

Chu Cong pursed his lips and smiled, then he quickly left the Second Prince's Mansion.

As soon as she left, the second princess sent someone to tell Princess Qinghui, "The second prince's troops are still twenty miles away from the capital. The princess asked the princess to prepare and go to the ten-mile castle outside the city to meet the emperor, empress, and civil and military officials." All officials will pass by.”

Princess Qinghui jumped up and said hurriedly, "I know, tell my concubine that I will be there soon."

Then he urged the maid to change her clothes quickly.

Xia Zihan also got the news that the second prince was coming to the city. Chu Fei and others were very interested, "Master, the city gate is surrounded by people. Let's go and see the excitement, shall we?"

"You go ahead, I have to take a walk with my aunt later." Xia Zihan kindly gave a few maids some time off.

Zhuo's belly was almost nine months old. Old Man Bai said that she would give birth in the next two days. He also said that Zhuo's body was strong and if another woman was pregnant with twins, she would give birth a month early.

But it's been almost nine months, and Zhuo shows no signs of giving birth.

Old man Bai also said that every woman's pregnancy time is different, especially for twins, whether they are born early or late, maybe Zhuo's due date will be delayed, maybe these days, maybe ten days and a half, whatever. Not until June either.

So these days are the most important thing for Zhuo, and she has to be with her all the time.

In the past few days, she clearly felt that her grandmother was also very nervous. After dinner, she would ask Mother Su and Hongmei to help her go to Zhuo's yard to accompany her.

Mrs. Zhuo, on the other hand, was not nervous at all. She always comforted Mrs. Zeng, "This is my second child. It's not like I've never had a baby before. Why should I be nervous? Besides, I've walked five or six times a day in the past two months. The miracle doctors all said that my body is in good condition and the baby in my belly is obedient, and I will definitely have a normal delivery.”

Even if the birth is not natural, what should she be afraid of when there is a miracle doctor like Old Man Bai?

This was also one of the main reasons why she shamelessly stayed in the Chu family after confirming that she was pregnant with twins.

You know, nine out of ten women who are pregnant with twins will be in danger during childbirth. At this time, of course she has to fawn over Old Man Bai, the miracle doctor. In order to curry favor with old man Bai, Zhuo spent a lot of money.

As for herbs, as long as old man Bai opens his mouth, she will send her steward to find them, no matter how much money she has, she will spend them.

As long as old man Bai likes fine wine, she will send the steward to carry it to him in a vat, not to mention going to Juxianglou from time to time to order some delicacies for old man Bai to add to his meal.

"You, it's good to be so happy and ready." Mrs. Zeng joked, "The weather is nice these days. If I walk more with you, you will be more relaxed when you give birth."

Xia Zihan hurried over to help Zhuo and said with a smile, "Grandma has been walking with aunt for a while, and her body and bones are getting better. She looks younger. Grandma will have to walk around more in the future."


"Yu Niang is right." Mrs. Zhuo hurriedly flattered her, "Goddess, you must be healthy and live a long life. After my two children are born, I will have to rely on you to help teach them."< br>


"You're trying to find something for me to do." Mrs. Zeng scolded her cheerfully, but it was obvious that she was very happy in her heart.

Three days later, Ms. Zhuo slept until midnight when she suddenly felt cramping pains in her stomach, which woke her up.

She hurriedly shouted to Yue Jin, "Quick, tell the midwife that I'm about to give birth."

In case she suddenly gave birth to a baby, Yue Jin slept on the wooden couch in her room for a while, while the two maids and three midwives slept on the kang in the outer room.

As soon as they heard the noise, they woke up, and then they all got dressed in a hurry.

Boil hot water, prepare scissors, lay out the straw paper, make decoction and medicine, take out the prepared children's clothes, etc.

For a time, Zhuo's room became a mess.

After laying the toilet paper on the bed in the side room next door, several maids and midwives helped Zhuo to the next door.

The delivery room door is closed.

Xia Zihan, who hurried over after getting the news, saw Mrs. Zhuo entering the delivery room. Because she was a young girl, it was difficult for her to go in, so she waited outside.

She walked around anxiously, and after walking around, she suddenly told Si Cao, "Go and boil some sugar-watered eggs."

It was already late at night, a time when people would get tired easily with an empty stomach. She had to make sure Zhuo was full enough to have the strength to give birth to a child.

Si Cao glanced at the smoking small kitchen and said, "The small kitchen here is in use. I'd better go back and cook it before bringing it back."

"Well, go quickly."

The silk grass blessed my body and I hurried away.

Mrs. Zeng, who also received the news, was also helped by Hongmei and Qingya and hurried over. Behind them, Mother Su was holding a wooden box with a 200-year-old ginseng in her hand.

When Xia Zihan heard the screams of pain coming from Mrs. Zhuo, she felt nervous. When she saw Mrs. Zeng, she felt like she was seeing her backbone, and she hurriedly ran over.

Qingya had the foresight to give up her place, and Xia Zihan supported Zeng, "Grandma, my aunt just went in, and her pain just started."

Mrs. Zeng also heard Mrs. Zhuo's shrill voice. Seeing that Xia Zihan looked a little nervous, she patted the back of Xia Zihan's hand and said, "Don't worry, women have to pass this test when giving birth. Your aunt is in good health." , it will be fine.”

"You wait outside now, I'll go in and see your aunt."

Saying that, Mrs. Zeng couldn't wait to be helped in by Hongmei.

Mother Su also followed behind.

Xia Zihan subconsciously wanted to follow in, but Su's mother turned around and said, "The county master, stay here, this is the delivery room, the county master is not allowed to come in."

Then closed the door.

Xia Zihan stared at the door and stamped her feet anxiously outside.

In fact, she had already seen the scene of giving birth, and even helped the midwife deliver the baby.

However, that was all in the past life.

When Nuanyu gave birth to Ying in her previous life, Mrs. Cao asked a midwife from Caojia Village to deliver her baby.

Of course, one midwife was not enough, but Mrs. Cao disliked Nuanyu as a maid and did not care about Nuanyu's life or death, so she had no choice but to enter the delivery room and act as an assistant next to the midwife.

But she couldn't tell Zeng about this, let alone anyone.

She could only worry outside.

In the room, Mrs. Zeng saw Mrs. Zhuo yelling in pain and sweating profusely. She quickly held Mrs. Zhuo's hand, "I know you are in severe pain. This is just the beginning. You have to go slowly. You first Save your energy, you have two babies in your belly, you have to save some energy for the third child.”

There are many women who are pregnant with twins. After giving birth to one, they lose their strength. The second one is held in the belly for a long time and is useless after birth.

Just to guard against this, she specially brought a 200-year-old ginseng as a spare.

"Think about Xuan Yu and A Qi and his son, you must work hard." Zeng said earnestly.
