C135 (1/2)
No matter how many preparations had been made in advance for a woman to give birth, she would still panic and be afraid when the first child appeared, especially when the first child was born. As she had a big belly, she didn't spend much time during the new year's Lunar New Year. She only showed her face at the banquet before returning to the palace. Other people wouldn't say anything when they saw the empress's protruding belly.
On the fifteenth day of the first month, when Wang Rong woke up and saw that there were no signs of an attack coming from the stomach, she told Wuyou to go and get a lantern. She said that she would personally make one for His Majesty every year.
Wulv once asked in confusion, ”Her Majesty is only concerned with the Empress's stomach right now, and I can see that she's even more nervous than the Empress when she sleeps and eats all day. How can she remember these lanterns?”
”He doesn't remember it was his business. I don't remember it was mine.” Wang Rong said with a smile, ”Wait until this lantern is ready, then quietly take it and hang it up on your Qianqing Palace. Let's see when your majesty will be able to see through it.”
”I'm afraid that his Imperial Majesty would have to wait until the full moon before he would be able to pay attention to anything else.” Wulv laughed.
Wang Rong bowed her head and smiled. This year's Spring Festival Gala was exactly the same as the day the child was expected to be born. Wang Rong and the baby lamp, made from silk, had two cheeks burning red, a tiger hat on her head, lotus arms and legs, and she was majestically hugging a jade ruyi as she sat on the lotus seat.
It was probably done with feelings, and after Wang Rong and the painted child's face, they always felt that this was how their child should be born. ”Your Highness is being raised right in front of the Empress, and the Empress can see you every day. Your Majesty is busy with work everyday, and you might not be able to see me in the day. If you keep these lanterns hanging in your Qianqing Palace, you might be able to see your highness from time to time as well.”
Wang Rongcai smiled and replied, ”Yes.” He had already completed the main work of the lanterns in advance. Yuanxiao had only taken them out for the final inspection, then he hung the tassels and the riddles of the lanterns.
Wang Rong and his hand copied a small lamp riddle, the thin thread is hung on the side of the lamp tassel. Let them hang it up for him to see, then tell Zhang Cheng, don't hang this lamp up high, it's best to watch from a horizontal view. Wang Rong explained.
”Yes.” Gu Yanxi took the lanterns, preparing to personally send them to the Qianqing Palace later.
Seeing that there were no signs of Wang Rong's body starting to move, she got someone to change into a formal dress for her. At the Spring Festival, she still had to show herself, even though she was still wearing layers of clothes, and held her stomach, ”Why do I feel a spasm in my stomach?”
”Esteemed Empress should sit down first, hurry up and invite Imperial Physician Xu over.” Worse, he supported Wang Rong and sat down, then methodically took off the layers of clothes that he had just put on earlier.
Xu Duzhong came over, and rushed over to take a look at Wang Rong's pulse, ”The Empress is showing signs of production, there's no need to rush, wait a little longer.”
”Is there any sign of production?” Wang Rong He asked while leaning against Nutty's chest. It was not because she was in pain, but because of that sudden stroke, she was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat.
Ever since she was young, she had always carried herself in a very stable manner. She always looked like she had a plan in mind, and she was the only one who didn't lose her composure when she was out in the open. She didn't force herself to do anything in her own small courtyard; she raised herself so tenderly that she found it difficult to even take bitter pills and those who insisted on taking pills were the ones most afraid of pain.
She could only imagine the pain of childbirth.
”Maybe it will be activated soon, maybe after a day or two.” Xu Duzhong said, ”There are people who can produce it for three days as well.”
”Just like that, it's painful for three days?” Wang Rong and Hua Yan asked.
”If the time is not right, pain is divided into time. From now on, palace maid has to remember the time when the Empress hurts every time. When the time is right, we can go to the delivery room and let the midwife check if the corridor is opened.” Xu Duzhong said.
”If the Empress still has the strength, then it's better for her to take small steps in the hall and speed up her production.”
”It hurts so much that I can't even stand, how can I walk?” Wang Rong said.
”Let two or three strong men support the Empress.” Xu Duzhong said, ”Empress, do not worry, this subject will always be observing.”
Wang Ronghe fell into no disease and broke down. When he was in pain, he felt really miserable and helpless. When he was in labor, he could no longer remember the pain, but the girl was afraid of pain ever since she was young, and now she was really going to suffer.
”She was comforted by Nutty in a low voice.” Miss, think of something else, think of something happy, and it won't hurt so much. ”
”When I thought about how Miss Autumn insisted that all the servants in the house wear chrysanthemums in their chignons on spring days when I went to fly a kite in another village, how they would race horses, and how Miss Autumn would scrape ice on her head in the summer, I couldn't help but laugh when I thought about it. I don't know why you would find it funny to have chrysanthemums on your head. And in the winter, the girl will bring out the wine that was buried in the ground in the spring and watch the snow around the stove. ”
Wang Rong's body was still in pain as she listened to their stories. She smiled. ”At that time, I read in the book that the scholarly scholars were very particular about their ways of living, and my life was also very interesting and interesting. I was wondering when I could try out the flavor as well.”
”Actually, I wasn't able to brew the wine in the first few years. It was just sweet water.” ”At that time, there was no glass in the house, so I sat in the pavilion, drinking some sweet water while looking at the snowy scenery. I thought to myself, so it was just this kind of flavor, but it was nothing more than this.”
”Actually, I wasn't able to brew the wine for the first few years, but it was so sour that I couldn't taste it.” Wu Tian burst into laughter and cried, ”Every time it snowed, the lord would first take the eldest young master to see where the girl buried the wine. Before the wine was formed, they would pour it out.
Wang Rong He's tears fell when he heard this, but he smiled and said, ”It's my fortune to have such a father and brother.”
”Lady is a lucky person.” No disease said, ”The little princess will also come out smoothly, and the little princess will also feel sorry for her mother.”
The old lady heard the news and came over. She knew what was going on just by looking at Wang Rong He's expression. She stepped forward and held Wang Rong He's hand. ”Esteemed Empress, don't be anxious. Don't be afraid. Your Highness will come out to see your mother in a bit.”
Wang Rong grabbed the old lady's hand. ”Grandmother, I'm in so much pain.”
”It won't hurt anymore.” the old lady said. She supported Wang Rong on one side and she and Nutty on the other. ”Esteemed Empress, please persevere.”
Wang Rong He stood up with some difficulty as Li Gong circled around the hall, and caught hold of a Great palace maid s who was walking in, and asked. What constitution did the Empress have now? When should I notify His Majesty? ”
Zhu Yijun had told her to notify him once there were any movements in the Kunning Palace. Actually, normally, he would already be in Kunning Palace by this time, it was just that His Majesty did not come to the Spring Festival Gala today.
