concubines

Chapter 362
After the news of Miaoli's pregnancy spread, the whole country rejoiced.

After waiting for so many years, the emperor finally had a child.It is said that throwing bricks to attract jade, although it took a little longer, but it really attracted jade.

Zhou Yining heard these words outside, and when he went back to tell Miao Li, he was joking, but Miao Li took it seriously.

Miao Li said with a dark face: "Listen to their nonsense, what is brick and what is jade, they are both the children of me and the emperor, they are all the same."

Zhou Yining knew that she was taking care of her own feelings, but there was really no need for that.After Miao Li got pregnant, she still didn't change a little bit towards him. He has eyes, and he won't think anything about what other people say, and he's just joking.

"My son knows, empress, don't be angry, or it will be bad for the child in my stomach."

Miao Li is now five months old, with a swollen belly, and she has raised her child very well.Although the fetus has been seated firmly, but she is too weak, the imperial doctor has repeatedly told her not to get too angry, and be careful of fetal gas.

When mentioning the child, Miao Li could not restrain a smile on her face, touched her belly and said, "I know, the child will be fine, waiting to come out to see your brother."

Zhou Yi Ning patted his chest and said, "Yes, then I can teach him to read and write, and bring him to play with Qingxi."

Before long, the baby will be born.Miaoli's tiger head hats were made early, although the previous hats did not play their corresponding role, this craftsmanship is left behind.

She still thinks of that child from time to time. She has worked so hard to conceive to such a large size. If she is born, she will definitely be able to run and jump now.

Forget it, the past has already passed, and it doesn't matter how much you can't let it go.Fortunately, now that she has another child, she can think about it.

There are people who take care of her every day, plus she is in a good mood, Miaoli's pregnancy is much easier than before.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't care about the child at first, but gradually he cared more and more.Every day after I came back, I would first ask her if she was feeling well or if she felt uncomfortable.Then I asked how the child was doing, and I had to talk to the child for a long time after touching her belly.Like making a wish, I hope it will be a son.

Miao Li thought it was fun and funny, so she said he was a duplicity person, and he was.

The mood is very good, and I don't feel much when I go through the day, I only know that my belly is getting bigger day by day, and Miaoli gradually forgets the time.

After eating, Miao Li thought about going out for a walk, and lying in bed every day was not a problem, the imperial doctor said that it would be easier to give birth by walking around more.But as soon as she took a step, she felt a pain in her stomach, which frightened her, and she kept yelling.

Mother Xi heard her voice, ran up quickly, and asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"My stomach hurts, and it seems that there is still something flowing out. Mama, is the child going to die again?" Miao Li was so frightened that tears came out. She was really scared, but she still couldn't keep it.

At this age, there is nothing worse than killing her.

Mammy Xi glanced at the bottom of her skirt, but found no blood stains, and counted the time, "Your Majesty, it's probably about to give birth, your Majesty, don't worry."

Miao Li sniffed and looked at her with tears in her eyes, "Did you lie to me? It's only been a while, why is it about to give birth?"

Mother Xi helped her to lie down on the bed and comforted her, "It's been more than nine months. The child conceived in May last year is now halfway through February. Both the midwife and the nanny have lived in the palace for two months. It's been more than a month, and it's really time to give birth. I reminded the empress a few days ago, have you forgotten?"

Thinking about it this way, it didn't seem like she was being lied to, it was indeed time to give birth, and she forgot.Miao Li immediately felt relieved. Although she felt that her stomach hurt more than a burst of pain, she didn't feel too uncomfortable.

Mother Xi sent someone to call for someone, and the midwife would come over soon.The things for delivery are also prepared early, and everything has been checked in advance to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Miao Li was sweating from the pain. She had never experienced childbirth, only heard that it was extremely painful and the scene was particularly scary.While I still have a little energy, I can divert my mind, and said to Madam Xi: "The emperor will come later, don't let him in, just let him wait outside. Be sure to remember Don't let him in. Don't tell him it's bad luck, just say I don't want him in. "

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Shuxuan arrived outside, raised her legs and rushed into the house.

Mother Xi ran out when she heard the voice, and stopped people, "Your majesty, the empress has given special instructions, she doesn't want you to go in, so the emperor will wait outside."

Zhou Shuxuan was so anxious that his head was sweating, "Nonsense, she can't say such things. She is giving birth to me, how can I not stay by her side?"

"Your Majesty did tell you that, she said she doesn't want you to go in." Ximao pushed him away and said, "My Majesty may also be thinking for herself, the scene of giving birth is not so beautiful, and the blood is screaming, afraid of the emperor. What would you think. If the emperor went in directly, the empress would have to distract the emperor, which would be bad. The emperor should wait outside, it shouldn’t take long. The imperial doctor said that the empress’s fetal position is very upright, and it will be easy to give birth.”

It was not surprising that she had these thoughts, and she had told him before that he should not be in the delivery room.There was no particularly painful sound coming from the room.Zhou Shuxuan just took a step at the door, always paying attention to the movement inside, ready to rush in at any time.Be ready as long as adults don't want children.

In the delivery room, Miao Li clenched her teeth tightly, not letting herself make a sound.He was afraid that Zhou Shuxuan would come in when he heard the sound, and he was even more afraid that he would know that he was in too much pain and would give up the child at any time. He would definitely do these things.

Miao Li listened to the instructions of the people around her, and kept working hard.It really hurts too much, no wonder Zhou Shuxuan didn't want her to have a baby before, so it hurts so much.It is also clear why it is said that a woman giving birth is equivalent to going to hell.

But the heart is steady, and never flinched.As long as she thinks that after this pain, she will have a lovely child, she thinks it is worth it.

Miaoli was still wondering when it would be over, and whether the childbirth would be affected if the childbirth was too long, so she heard the midwife say, "I've seen the end, Madam, try harder."

Miao Li's whole body is weak now, and it seems that all senses can't feel things.I don't know if I tried hard, but I heard the cry of the baby, as if it was born successfully.

Although it hurt for a while, it was much simpler and easier than imagined, and Miao Li couldn't believe it.But the child was already in front of him.

Miao Li kept panting and raised her eyes to take a look, but she didn't see too clearly, she heard the people next to her say: "Congratulations, you are a little prince."

Miao Li is still a little bit disappointed that she is not a daughter. "Take it out and show it to the emperor." He wanted a son, and now he had his wish.

Zhou Shuxuan glanced at the child, and broke into the door without hugging him, lying on the side of Miaoli's bed, with tears in his eyes, and asked, "Is it really painful? You didn't shout out because I was worried, right?" ?”

The pain was no longer as severe as before, Miao Li was in good spirits now, she turned her head to look at him and said, "It's not particularly painful, anyway, it's easier than I imagined."

It may be because she suffered too much before, so she didn't torture her so much in this kind of thing.It may also be that the child desperately wants to see his parents, so he came out so soon.

Zhou Shuxuan shook her hand and said, "You're lying to me again, it must be very painful, I know it all."

The first emperor's empress died because of dystocia, and it would kill her to give birth, so how could it be painless?
Miao Li was sweating a lot, but she didn't cry, but she saw that he was about to cry, and tried her best to comfort him, "It only hurts for a while, and the baby will be fine after it's born. I'm fine now."

After tossing for more than an hour, she still said it was fine.Zhou Shuxuan now believes that she is pretending to be relaxed, and his heart aches even more.

No matter how hard I tried to persuade him, Miao Li had no choice but to change the subject and asked, "It's a son, have you chosen a good name?"

"No, didn't you say you took a name?"

Miaoli deliberately blamed: "I said I will name my daughter, and you will choose my son. Why didn't you hear such a big thing clearly? Look at the child I labored to give birth to. Now I don't even have a name. Quickly choose a name." Let’s do it. Otherwise, it’s up to you how you write the Zongpan later, how you write the imperial decree.”

I want to send him out as soon as possible, otherwise he will stay in the delivery room all the time, and it is very likely that he will really cry in the end and be laughed at when he speaks out.

This is indeed a big deal. Zhou Shuxuan took a few deep breaths and adjusted his mood, "Then I'll go get a name first, and come back to accompany you later."

Then he repeatedly told the servants who were serving her to take good care of her.It looks like Miaoli has a little problem and wants to wipe out the whole family of servants.After giving the order, he left quickly, chose a good name early, and wanted to come back early.

Mother Xi watched him leave in a hurry, walked in the door and said to Miaoli with a smile: "The emperor doesn't care about the little prince at all. After taking him out for a look, he never paid attention to him again. Our poor little Highness, who was born as a Dad doesn't hurt."

"It's okay, father doesn't care about mother." Miao Li asked someone to bring over the cleaned child, and now she looked at it carefully, the more she looked at it, the more disgusted she became, and she raised her head and asked Aunt Xi, "Why is he so ugly? Qingxi and Meimei are so cute, I am not wrong, is it because something is wrong with the emperor?"

Mammy Xi smiled helplessly, "Children are born like this, and they will look better when they grow up. The empress will know later, if they look different every day, they will become cute in no time."

Miao Li is still disgusted now, if she is still so ugly in a few days, she must talk to Zhou Shuxuan.
