The "poor" Concubine Yi was enjoying her meal at the moment.
She was sitting by the kang and her waist could no longer bend, so Peilan held the chopsticks and fed her.
On the Kang table next to it, there were four plates and four bowls.
What Yifei ordered was one of the dishes, shredded milk tofu.
"It takes a lot of effort to give birth to a baby. Only when you are full can you have the energy to give birth."
Yi Fei explained to Shu Shu and continued eating, sometimes frowning slightly due to labor pains.
Shu Shu sat on the flower bench next to her, simply admiring her to death.
It is really rare for a mother to remain so calm even though she is already in labor pains.
This is not the main hall of Yikun Palace, but the west room of the apse.
The delivery room is located in the east room.
The imperial doctor and the midwife were waiting.
There are also wet nurses from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who are on standby in the Imperial City.
The final candidate for the wet nurse will be decided upon when the little prince or little princess lands here.
When the time comes, the wet nurse who gave birth to a daughter will feed the little prince, and the wet nurse who gave birth to a son will feed little Princess.
Seeing Shu Shu sitting firmly and looking reliable, Yi Fei was still worried and said: "You are a kid, how can you handle this? I'll go back later."
At this point, she scolded Peilan again and said, "Talk too much!"
Shu Shu hurriedly said: "It's not Aunt Peilan's fault, it's Master Jiu who was worried and asked his daughter-in-law to beg aunt in private... My daughter-in-law's next few brothers have all passed by when they were born, so I'm not afraid..."
Yi Fei listened with a smile, but became worried in her heart.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
The emperor is an angry person.
She lowered her head and glanced at her belly. Even if she had this little one, she didn't want to wrong the one above her, otherwise Lao Jiu would nag her again.
She told Peilan, "Go and invite the Empress of Yanxi Palace, and tell her that I'll invite her to sit here."
In this way, if there is an eventuality, there is someone who can make the decision.
The emperor could not easily vent his anger on Concubine Hui.
Perrin responded.
In fact, there are no high-ranking concubines in the West Sixth Palace. Even if there is a concubine in the Xianfu Palace, she has never given birth.
Besides, if there is no friendship, Concubine Yi cannot believe it.
Seeing that Yifei took the chopsticks by herself, she got up with some difficulty and stood up where Peilan had just been to serve Yifei.
In addition to the shredded milk tofu, Yi Fei stared at several plates of meat and vegetables, and Shu Shu would take a bite of rapeseed in between.
Concubine Yi frowned and said in disgust: "It's fishy."
Shu Shu didn't force it and changed it to something else. She just said, "My daughter-in-law is thinking about some vegetable recipes that are not fishy. I want to eat more vegetables, otherwise I won't suffer the knife."
Concubine Yi had been in confinement for three times, so she naturally knew what she was talking about, so she couldn't help but smile and said, "These are all things I should tell you, but this is a bit reversed."
After saying that, she felt a little regretful and raised her head to look at Shu Shu.
Shu Shu put a piece of braised chicken leg over and said, "This is our blessing. Let's learn to take care of our younger brother and sister first. When we have brother and princess in the future, we won't be in a hurry."
Yifei smiled and said: "What a childish talk, you are just playing house!"
Shu Shu remembered the sudden whim of the ninth elder brother before and said: "At the beginning of the year, our father remembered the matter of the princess raising the fifteenth elder brother, and also mentioned that the empress had a little one here. The seventh brother can't take care of him, so he wants to take over the second one..."
After hearing this, Concubine Yi couldn't help but feel moved, and said: "Besides, the term 'introduction' has been around since ancient times. When the fifteenth prince was sent to Yuqing Palace, then the princess also got pregnant..."
It's a pity that it's the emperor's grandson, Princess, not the emperor's grandson's brother.
Shu Shu hurriedly said: "That's the Crown Princess. My daughter-in-law is just an ordinary prince, Fujin. How dare she carry the prince to 'attract his son'. After two years, Master Jiu has become stronger. It will be the same when we bring our nephew over."
Yi Fei has always been cautious, and this is also true when she thinks about it.
However, it was inconvenient for Brother Seventeen, but it was very convenient for him to give birth to this little one.
He is no longer young. When this little one turns one year old and comes out of Zhaoxiang, he will move back to Yikun Palace.
When the time comes, I will excuse my lack of energy and ask my brother and sister-in-law to take him with me for a year and a half, and no one else will be able to fault him.
When the dining table was moved away, Concubine Hui also arrived in a chariot.
On both sides of the entrance to the back hall of Yikun Palace, there are midwifery stones and swords used to ward off evil spirits.
The southeast corner of the apse is the auspicious position, and a wedding pit has also been dug.
Nowadays, chopsticks, red silk, gold and silver are placed in the wedding pit. After the birth, the placenta will be buried here.
Two female shamans who usually worship at Kunning Palace were singing happy songs around the wedding pit.
Chen Guiren originally took Brother Seventeen down to comfort him, but now he also came to accompany him.
Concubine Hui saw Concubine Yi brushing her teeth and rinsing her mouth, and joked: "I'm not a little daughter-in-law anymore, why are you still scared?"
Yifei smiled and said: "It's been more than ten years now, aren't we all unfamiliar? With my sister in charge, I feel more at ease."
Concubine Hui glanced at Shu Shu and sighed: "These days go by so fast. I still remember the look of Lao Jiu when he first landed. In the blink of an eye, he has been 20 years younger."
She skipped Brother Eleven.
Concubine Yi said with disgust: "At that time, not only was she red but also covered in vernix. She looked like her eyes were swollen even after she was buried. There was just a slit in her eye. She was so ugly that she almost cried..." J .
Concubine Hui didn't like hearing it anymore and said: "Who do you blame? You didn't eat it. I remember that you loved ducks at that time. You would eat one almost every day, and you didn't find it too fat. Lao Jiu suffered from it. "The vernix all over my body will take a hundred days to fade away."
Yifei hurriedly shook her head and said: "That's definitely not my taste, it's Laojiu's. Now I feel fishy when I smell the smell of duck."
The two chatted, and Shu Shu listened with interest.
Concubine Hui glanced at her, and she was as worried as Concubine Yi, fearing that she would be frightened, and said: "You have never given birth, so you don't have to wait here. I'm really worried. I'll go to the side hall to play with Brother Seventeen later." …”
Shu Shu said: "Concubine, when I gave birth to several brothers, Amou and I were waiting outside. Don't be afraid..."
Concubine Hui said nothing more, but exchanged glances with Concubine Yi.
That Dorogg is not very reliable. This is the disadvantage of not having children.
If the child is really frightened, there will be no place to buy the medicine.
But since Shu Shu had experienced accompanying childbirth, it didn't matter.
Shu Shu did not forget to express his gratitude to Brother Jiu, saying: "Our father couldn't sit still when he heard that the mother-in-law started it. He couldn't even wait at the second house. If his daughter-in-law hadn't persuaded him, he would have waited outside the right door of Guangsheng. Now, I have gone to Qianqing Palace, and I want to send someone to tell Fifth Brother..."
Concubine Yi said angrily: "What a fuss, a child is just a matter of course..."
However, the joy on her face could not be stopped.
"Ouch..."
As she spoke, her smile condensed and she said, "My water has broken and I'm about to give birth..."
The midwife had been waiting in the delivery room for a long time, and she came over when she got the news.
Peilan and two nuns helped Concubine Yi to the delivery room.
Shu Shu followed Concubine Hui and Guiren Chen and waited in the West Room.
Even though Shu Shu was so brave and had experienced the birth of several younger brothers, she was even more nervous at this moment.
Although Yifei is several years younger than Jueluo, there is a common problem among palace concubines, that is, they prefer silence to movement.
You may not think that Luo's birth was so smooth.
Concubine Hui saw it and said, "Don't worry. It's really not easy for this woman to give birth to a child for the first time. It will become easier as time goes by."
Shu Shu also knew this truth, but she still felt frightened when she thought about Qifu Jin.
She thought for a while and asked: "Concubine, is our queen's belly big or small?"
She was afraid that the fetus would be too big.
Yifei was not thin to begin with, but had a graceful and plump figure. After becoming pregnant, she became even more plump.
There are little holes in my hands.
Concubine Hui said: "It's not big or small. The imperial doctors are cheating on her. If there is any bad thing at all, it will have been exposed a long time ago."
That way, there is no responsibility.
Shu Shu felt relieved and nodded: "That's good."
Actually she remembered something.
Although I have no personal experience, I have heard the basic knowledge of childbirth.
One is forceps, which seems to have existed in the West in the 16th century.
Another one is the side cut.
They are all dealing with difficult childbirth matters.
However, it is not 100% safe and has its own risks.
Just the forceps, you can't make something out of nothing.
But she remembered the side cut.
Just like the time when Qifujin gave birth, if it was a lateral incision, the child would not be left hypoxic.
As she was thinking wildly, Concubine Hui pushed over a plate of honeyed fruits that were served with tea.
Shu Shu usually doesn't like to eat this because she thinks it's too sweet. Now because she didn't have lunch and was nervous, she was really hungry, so she drank half the plate with tea.
In the delivery room in the east room, there were no birthing screams like those often seen in movies and TV dramas, only two occasional groans.
Shu Shu raised her head and glanced at the clock, not even a quarter of a second away.
Then she discovered that the houses here were all brand new, the wallpapers were all freshly melted, there were not many furniture, and there were no signs of use.
To the west of the apse, it seems that Guo Guiren lived before.
There is no trace now.
After Shu Shu finished half a cup of tea, she took out the teapot and poured half a cup for Concubine Hui and Chen Guiren first, and then for herself.
Time passes extremely slowly.
In the meantime, two people came to Qianqing Palace, one was Wei Zhu, and the second was Liang Jiugong.
Liang Jiugong didn't leave after he came, saying: "The emperor is thinking about the empress, and Lord Jiu is also thinking about her, so I won't bother with the knife."
Otherwise, with Brother Ninth's impatient look, he would have to be summoned to inquire again.
Concubine Hui said: "Your Majesty is so kind, and my brother is also filial."
With that said, she asked someone to move the stool and let Liang Jiugong sit on it.
Shu Shu smiled sheepishly at Liang Jiugong and said, "Our master is so eager to cause trouble for Shuida."
Seeing her politeness, Liang Jiugong was determined to be nice and reminded in a low voice: "It's nothing for the slaves to run errands. It's just that today the emperor uploaded a nobleman from Guarjia to accompany him..."
Shu Shu realized that this was a good opportunity to accompany the driver and let Brother Jiu mess it up.
She showed her shame and said, "I'm really sorry for you, noble man. I'll go back and apologize to you."
Liang Jiugong was relieved when he saw that she was smart.
It's not a big deal at all, but it's better to dissolve enemies than to end them.
Others don't know, but those around them can clearly see that the days when Guarja nobles will be favored are still to come.
He looks good, comes from a good family, and has a pleasant temperament.
Now I am just waiting for the news of Yuxi, and by then I will be a concubine.
I guess when I arrived at Shenchu, I heard a baby crying from the east.
"Wow wow wow wow."
Concubine Hui stood up with a smile and said, "This voice is really loud."
At this moment, grandma had already carried a bright red baby out, her face turned into a smile, and announced the good news to everyone: "It's a brother..."
