The Pearl of the Lady

Chapter 1 Jiaojiaoer

It had been three full hours, and Gu Zhao clenched his fingers tightly. He was famous in the Zhou Kingdom as a gentleman, but now the calm look on his face could not hold back.

Lying in the delivery room was his favorite wife. She had been there for three hours. At the beginning, she could still hear her screaming for pain, but gradually her voice disappeared. Only the servants who came and went kept pouring out blood. with bloody white cloth.

"Master, master, take a deep breath and persevere." A nun stood by the bed and kept wiping the sweat from the forehead of the beautiful woman lying on the bed with a handkerchief.

That beautiful woman was Princess Zhaohua'an. She was 30 years old this year. Her long black hair was already wet with sweat, and strands of wet strands stuck to her face. Her beautiful face was as pale as paper.

She no longer had the strength to cry out the pain, Hua An could feel her body getting colder as the blood left, she looked at the ceiling blankly, and fragmentary images flashed in her mind.

The three female doctors who delivered the baby were also covered in cold sweat, and they didn't have time to wipe it off. They held the eldest princess' waist and legs, and kept saying, "Breathe in...exhale...exert hard...."

Hua An could feel the warm darkness coming, she blinked her eyes, desperately resisting falling into the darkness.

"Master, master... hold on for a while, and I can see the top of my head." Mammy's voice seemed to come from far away, and it seemed that she couldn't hear clearly.

Princess Hua'an felt that she really had no strength at all, and she couldn't gather her energy. She gradually loosened her tight hands, and felt that everything around her was going away, as if something was attracting her to a relaxed and comfortable world.

Suddenly felt a slight movement in the lower body, the movement was obviously small, but she suddenly opened her eyes wide, my child, he hasn't had time to look at the world.

She stared wide-eyed, grabbed the quilt with her hands, and tore the quilt abruptly. She exerted all her strength, thinking about my child, my child, and with the last blow, a gasp came out of her throat. A broken cry "Ah...."

Gu Zhao stood up and said, "Stop the young masters."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't come in, the delivery room is unclean," said the maid who guarded the door repeatedly.

With a face as cold as ice jade, he pushed the servant woman away and rushed into the room with a brisk stride.

"Meiniang..." He stared blankly at his wife whose eyes were closed, the bed was covered in blood.He almost felt like he was in a nightmare.

Everyone in the delivery room was startled, they didn't expect Gu Lang to rush in regardless of others, and they were stunned.

"Show me the child..." Princess Hua'an narrowed her eyes slightly, urging in a low voice.She felt weak for a moment just now, and when she was about to fall asleep, she remembered that she hadn't seen the child yet, so she pulled herself together and opened her eyes again.

Gu Zhao called again: "Mei Niang..."

Princess Hua'an turned her head sideways, saw him, and said weakly, "Why did you come in, it's easier for you, and I can see the baby sooner."

Gu Zhao finally came back to his senses, and tremblingly called again, "Mei Niang..." You really scared me.

"Hold me the baby, I heard that the baby will look like the first family member who hugged him... It's cheap for you, fortunately you are not ugly."

Seeing that she was still joking and teasing, Gu Zhao finally felt relieved, and his stiff expression also relaxed.

He picked up Princess Hua'an and placed her on the new bed prepared aside, and the servants swiftly and carefully took away the blood-stained mattress.

Nanny walked up to Gu Shu with a smile in her arms wrapped in red swaddling clothes: "Congratulations to Princess Langjun, and congratulations to make tiles."

"Nong...Nongwa" Gu Zhao's eyes widened.On weekdays, no matter how handsome the handsome gentleman who never changes his face when the Mount Tai collapses in front of him, now he is just a silly father.

Princess Hua'an also cheered up, she said: "It's really a daughter, show me your daughter quickly."

Gu Zhao carefully hugged the crying baby in his arms. It stands to reason that he is not good at holding children. He is in love with Princess Hua'an and has three sons. He also hugged these three children when he was young, but now he feels Different from the extra tension in the past.

He felt that the ball in his arms was small and soft, she closed her eyes and let out a soft cry, and Gu Shu moved to Hua An's bed step by step.

"Meiniang, look... this is our daughter." He bent down and placed the baby beside Hua'an's pillow.

"She's so pretty," Hua An said, looking sideways at his father.

She reached out and touched the child's cheek lightly, and said, "This child looks like me, pretty."

Gu Zhao held her hand and said with a smile, "Like you, like you, as beautiful as my beautiful lady."

Husband spoke so eagerly, Princess Hua'an smiled a little embarrassedly, she was already a woman's age, and under her husband's pampering, she still had a naive and arrogant childish temper, she: "Well, there are some Like yours, her nose is like yours..."

"The mouth is like yours..." Gu Zhao tapped the child's mouth, then his wife's lips.

Hua An didn't have much energy in the first place, she just tried to pull herself together, and after saying a few words, she looked more and more sleepy.

The voices of several young masters came from outside, "Let me go, let me in."

"I want to see my sister too." Gu Qixuan and Gu Zixuan pushed hard against the guards, shouting loudly.

"Qi, Zi, don't shout," the 12-year-old boy frowned and warned his younger brother.

"Father, please allow us to see my sister." The young boy said seriously to the room.

Gu Zhao frowned, "So unstable."

Princess Hua'an smiled and said: "You are steady, you rushed in directly, you are steady, holding your daughter and reluctant to let go."

Gu Zhao was teased by his wife, but there was nothing he could do. Seeing his wife looked sleepy, he said, "I'll take my daughter out to show them, you should rest first."

Princess Hua'an touched the little girl's face again in reluctance. She was really lost, and said coquettishly to her husband, "When I wake up, I'll see her as soon as I open my eyes. Don't give her away. I thought a lot about her name..." She was so tired that she fell asleep talking about it.

"Father, father, show me my sister." Gu Ziren was short and bouncing around Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao was already carefully supporting his daughter, while Gu Zi wandered around him. He was afraid that he might not be able to hold his daughter firmly, and he didn't want to knock down his younger son, so he seemed a little embarrassed in his actions.
