Princess Consort Raising Children

Chapter 7 Ice Basin, Labor Pain, Wen Xiao 3

General Yan was sent to sleep in a side room by the princess again at night.

When the starlings at the door saw him all day long, they would call out: "The King of Hades is coming, the King of Hades is coming, hot, hot, hot..."

A few days later, several ice basins appeared in Wen Yu's room.Animals love it.The cats, dogs, and little white foxes all lived in harmony, lying comfortably around the ice basin, and didn't seem to move much all day long.

And Wen Yu's irritable temper has also improved a lot with the uninterrupted daily ice.

This ice is managed by the ice administration in the palace.In winter, there are special personnel to collect ice cubes, which are stored in the underground ice cellar in Sanyin for half a year, and in summer, they are taken out for the royal family to relieve the heat and cool down.The emperor didn't have any relatives, basically he died or married.He can't use that much himself.So they sent people to the prime minister's mansion.However, his prime minister was almost always in the palace on weekdays, either to discuss state affairs with the emperor, or to rest with the emperor to relieve boredom.The ice sent over had melted, but the prime minister didn't see how much he enjoyed it.

Yan Wang asked the prime minister directly for ice.The prime minister was also grateful to the general for handling the affairs of the princess, so he discussed with the emperor and took the ice that he had given him to relieve the heat to the general's mansion.

Then the general’s begging for ice for the princess to cool off the heat spread like wildfire in Beijing. The version circulating in the streets and alleys became more and more outrageous, saying that the general’s beloved wife was eager to lead troops into the prime minister’s mansion to snatch the ice given by the emperor, just for the sake of it. It will allow Princess Wenyu to raise her baby with peace of mind.

For a while, General Yan became the best benchmark for countless young girls in Beijing to choose a spouse.

Even the eldest son and the second child started to yell in a straight voice every time they saw the general: "The son-in-law is here, the son-in-law is here, ice, ice, ice..."

And Wen Yu finally stopped kicking people into bed at night.After sleeping well at night, this person started to eat like crazy to gain weight during the day.

When the cicadas on the trees stopped calling, Wen Yu's animals didn't have much interest in the ice basin. The summer sun finally came to an end, and the capital city also wafted a strong fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Wen Yu likes to eat osmanthus cake, osmanthus porridge, osmanthus meat, osmanthus tendon, osmanthus taro, osmanthus belly, osmanthus chestnut, osmanthus candied lotus root... Anyway, he takes turns letting the kitchen cook all the food related to osmanthus.The whole person tasted like sweet-scented osmanthus.

Yan Wang always felt that Wen Yu would turn into sweet-scented osmanthus essence if he continued to eat like this.I also know that persuasion is useless, so I watch people eat every day, and occasionally I can't help but say a few words of persuasion.

If the princess is in a good mood at night, he will take people out for a walk.But he never dared to go in the direction of Hualiu Lane.Fortunately, the princess has recently become obsessed with hot springs.It’s just that the journey is a bit long, and there will be a delay of several hours to go back and forth. Every time Wen Yu basically falls asleep on the return journey, and when he climbs over the wall, he still jumps in a daze and can’t tell which way he is jumping.So the number of times I go is gradually not so ordinary...

When the sweet-scented osmanthus faded, the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus on Wen Yu's body also faintly dissipated.

That night, the general brought his midwife, and the general's confidant doctor also followed.

Wen Yu was bathing the big wax gourd in the yard at that time.Both the person and the dog got wet.Wen Yu had a big belly, and was on the big round table beside the pomegranate lace in the yard, helping Dadong wipe his wet hair.

Someone came in.As soon as his eyes lit up, he wiped a few handfuls of the big winter melon with his hands lightly and lightly, and threw the thick cotton towel on the big dog, leaving it alone.

"Did you give birth, did you give birth?" Wen Yu didn't speak, but those words kept bursting out from those eyes.

"Ms. Qin is in labor pains and will give birth soon." The midwife next to her grinned.Wen Yu had met the midwife before.They are all made by promises, so they should be unmistakable and trustworthy.

"Eh, should I have a baby then?" Wen Yu asked, tilting her head.

"Go back to Madam, we have all the things ready. Please trouble me when the time comes - the princess will cooperate with the mother who is about to give birth in the room to shout. When the baby is born there, it will be sent to the general's mansion as soon as possible."

Everyone then went back to Wen Yu's room.

In less than half an hour, the general's mansion began to be bustling up and down.

That day was the fifth day of the eleventh lunar month.Wen Yu was quite happy sitting in the room eating pastries.Thinking that this child was born at about the same time as his own, so he should be as smart and cute as him.Thinking about it, I feel happy in my heart.

He saw the doctor and the midwife working together, unpacking the bundles they had brought.There were blood-stained cloths inside, and the smell of blood permeated all of a sudden.

"This..." Wen Yu felt a little dizzy when he saw the blood.The hand is also safe and no longer grabs the pastry to eat.

Yan Wang stood behind him, looking at him.

"Princess can start crying, it's almost time to start crying in pain." The midwife reminded Wen Yu.

"Eh, what do you call it? It just hurts?" Wen Yu thought for a while, "Ah—" He yelled a few times without pain.

"Princess, childbirth is the most severe pain a woman experiences. The princess just imagines that her entire stomach is throbbing and is about to explode. It looks like something is about to be squeezed out from one point but can't come out..."

"Ah—ah—" Wen Yu pondered for a while.Still called very out of state.But better than last time.

When the servants outside heard the movement in the house, they were all alert, and hurried to boil water to prepare the things the midwife had just ordered.

"Ah-ah-"

Wen Yu yelled vigorously, but the midwife felt that it was too fake after listening for a while.Helplessly looked at Yanwang.

Yan Wang closed his eyes and whispered in Wen Yu's ear, "Be patient."

Suddenly one hand grabbed Wen Yu's arm and grabbed it hard.

In an instant, Wen Yu let out a tearing cry: "Ah—it hurts—"

He never thought that Yan Wang's strength could be so strong, as if his hand was about to be crushed by him.

"Yes, yes, that's it." The midwife was very satisfied.Let Wen Yu continue.

So Wen Yu was held by Yan Wang's arm all the time, and once his cry turned into a smell, Yan Wang used his strength to help him find the feeling.

And that barking is also learned, barking for a while, resting for a while, barking for a while, resting for a while.Both the mother and the doctor helped estimate the time.

Wen Yu felt that he was tired from just screaming a few times, and she didn't know how much pain the child's mother was going to endure now.

After a while, the butler said at the door that eunuchs and nuns had been sent from the palace.Yan Wang went out to see her in person, and asked a group of people to stand guard at the door, saying that the princess was afraid of strangers and was very nervous about giving birth for the first time.

At this time, Wen Yu's screams came from inside again.Yan Wang looked around at the nuns and eunuchs with a bad expression, then went back to his room and closed the door.

Wen Yu has a man's voice, but it is slightly softer than the average man's voice. He usually speaks softly and concisely in front of his servants, and he can't hear anything. He has no one to wait on him. Probably the most talked about is eat.Together with Yan Wang, he has a normal tone, a neutral voice, indisputable.However, after screaming for a while this night, his throat became hoarse, low and hoarse, with some breathy voices, and Yan Wang, who screamed, felt hot all over his body.

The others still stood beside Wen Yu calmly.

Wen Yu was tired of screaming.This time the midwife made him scream for a long time without resting.Then he lost his strength, his voice became softer, and his snort became thicker, a little pitiful, and a little... er, tempting...

Yan Wang's frown became deeper and deeper.He looked at Wen Yuhong's puffy face, watery eyes, and pink lips.Suddenly, he grabbed Wen Yu's shoulder very hard: "Use dim sum, don't be lazy, your cry now is not a mother giving birth, but the rabbit master serving the guests..."

The midwife and the doctor sitting in the distance laughed softly when they heard this, and saw Wen Yu's face flushed, and then Yan Wang slammed hard, and he finally recovered from the pain, and continued to scream .

That night, everyone outside Wenyu House was very busy.

The general estimated that the time was almost up, and after going out for a while, he heard a burst of noisy inquiries from the servants outside.Then it was quiet again.

Wen Yu's throat hurt from shouting, but he continued to howl according to the gestures given to him by the midwife.From time to time, it was mixed with shouts such as: "I can't do it..." "General..." "It hurts..." and so on.

The midwives also began to soak the blood-stained cloth strips in hot water, and put the pots at the door for the servants to come in with clean hot water.

I don't know how long it has been.Yan Wang is back.

The man didn't know where he went, and his whole body was soaked.But there was a dry package in his arms.

As soon as Wen Yu was happy, she knew it was a child.I stopped barking and went to see the child.

Instead, Yan Wang's cold hand pressed him back, playing tricks on him.Then Wen Yu wanted to know that the baby was about to come out, so she exhausted her breastfeeding strength and finally yelled a few times.

I heard the midwife shout happily: "Come out, come out!!!!"

Yan Wang took a small bottle and shook it on the child's small nose.The child woke up.

Then "Wow -" began to cry.Gently, tenderly, the sound of crying is so pleasant...

At that moment, Wen Yu's heart was softened by the crying.Wen Yu hugged the child in Yan's arms.His eyes were shining brightly, as if he was holding some priceless treasure.

It was only when he got closer that he felt the cold vapor on his body.

"Why is it so cold? I'm not afraid of freezing the child. And what medicine did you give him, why didn't the child cry just now?" Wen Yu held the child in his arms, complaining.Yan Wang didn't answer.

The little baby's blood didn't fade, and she was crying, her eyes, nose and mouth were all wrinkled together.The mouth is also red and there is nothing.Wen Yu smiled while watching.Warm the little things in my arms.I saw the doctor and midwife busy on the bed.

The quilt shop was in a mess, and the steps were stained with thick blood stains.

Then let Wen Yu lie down with the child in his arms, took some pearl powder to cover the rosiness of Wen Yu's mouth, and sprinkled some water on his face.It seems that the whole is the appearance of weakness just after giving birth.

Wen Yu's thoughts were all on the child, he knew that the child would have to cry for a long time.So I didn't worry too much, I just held the child and watched carefully.Suddenly he remembered a very important thing.

—— "Yan Wang, our third child is a girl, right?"

Yan Wang stood aside with a cold face and looked at Wen Yu and the child.

"It's a boy..." Yan Wang doesn't like the name San'er.

"What!" Wen Yu's face was pale even without makeup. "I've always wanted a girl doll..."

"This is the baby that was born in Qin's womb." Yan Wang saw Wen Yu picking up the baby's swaddle.Seeing the child's lower body, the shocked look on his face.Only deep loss remains.It looks so cute and pitiful, which makes people feel distressed.

Yan Wang thought for a while, walked to the bed, lowered his head and touched Wen Yu's wet face.

"These days, the princess has worked hard. It is not a good thing for the Yan family that I have a son. Just treat it as if we had a daughter. Just raise Jue'er as a baby girl." After Yan Wang finished speaking, he helped Wen Yu smooth the quilt The midwife deliberately messed up her hair.

At this point everything is ready to work.Yan Wang finally confessed a few words.

The midwife looked up at Wen Yu, nodded again, and went to open the door.

The housekeeper, the scare, and the people sent by the palace all stared at the midwife.

"Hurry up and please, General Princess Wen Yu gave birth to a beautiful baby girl..." The midwife yelled loudly with her smiling eyebrows.

Soon some young eunuchs ran out to return to the emperor.Several servants entered the room, and saw the general sitting beside the princess' bed, looking at the crying child beside the bed, and holding the hand of the weak princess.

The smell of blood is strong in the room, but the sweetness of this family is about to overflow...
