It has been some time since the fleet went to sea.
Winter has arrived in the blink of an eye, and light snow is falling from the sky.
Fang Zheng took a leave of absence and stayed with Li Miaohan in the princess's mansion.
Li Miaohan's belly was already swollen. She consulted a professional and learned that she would give birth soon.
Fang Zhengyi was naturally very careful and didn't bother to worry about anything else.
Emperor Jing was also considerate of his daughter's feelings and would be fine as soon as Fang Zheng asked for leave.
At this moment, Li Miaohan was leaning on the oversized sofa that Fang Zhengyi had carefully built, stroking her belly with a happy face, and tilting her head on Fang Zhengyi's shoulder.
Although her face is still young and pretty, there is a hint of mature charm between her eyebrows.
Fang Zhengyi put his arm around her shoulders and stared straight ahead, with thousands of thoughts in his mind.
The child is about to be born, and he is going to be a father.
I have been a human being for two lifetimes, but this is really my first experience like this.
Damn it! In my previous life, I was busy at work, licking my boss's shoes. Why didn't I learn more about prenatal education? I can't remember it at all at this point...
What worries him even more is that the current medical environment is extremely poor, and he still vaguely remembers the information he read online in his previous life.
It is said that the mortality rate of royal children is about one-third, and the mortality rate of women due to dystocia is also very different.
That is the top medical resource.
One-third is really too high, it’s scary!
Although he also has top-notch medical resources and penicillin, that is not enough.
If there was a real accident, it would be easy to say that the child would die, but if the wife was gone, then the mother would really have to die.
For this reason, he also specially ordered the people of the Patriarch Association to spend a lot of money to recruit a group of the most famous stable women from the people. All of them were experienced in hundreds of battles and had excellent reputations.
Wenpo's traditional experience was obviously unreliable, so she specially ordered Wang Meng to teach them some physiological knowledge and human body structure knowledge to improve the delivery experience.
At the same time, the county once again sent people to collect monkeys, but this time the conditions were much more stringent, only pregnant female monkeys.
According to Fang Zhengyi's understanding, the primates closest to humans are monkeys, which theoretically should have reference value.
However, there has been no news from the Patriarch Association so far, and it is obvious that there has not been much progress.
But Fang Zhengyi never fights an unprepared battle. It's too late to improvise, so he has a second plan.
I directly invited a Bodhisattva back from the most famous temple in the capital.
The huge Bodhisattva statue in front of him was inside the room, looking directly at Fang Zhengyi with a smile on his face.
Looking at the kind smile of the Bodhisattva, Fang Zheng recited silently in his heart, Bodhisattva bless him.
If everything goes well, I will give you a golden body.
"Husband, don't you believe in Buddhism? Why are you staring at him every day now?"
"Of course it's for you. With the blessing of Bodhisattva, the birth of the child will go smoothly. If anything happens to you, I will destroy all the temples in the city to see where they go to get incense."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Li Miaohan looked at him angrily and wanted to reach out to cover his mouth.
"Bodhisattva, I didn't talk about you." Fang Zhengyi quickly added.
"Husband, we have a boy in our womb..."
"Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" As he was speaking, a maid came to announce at the door.
After the maid finished speaking, Li Yuanzhao had already barged in carelessly, holding a gift in his hand.
"Miaohan, I'm here to bring you supplements." Li Yuanzhao got straight to the point.
Then he saw her and Fang Zheng holding their shoulders.
Fang Zheng said with a look on his face: "Your Highness, why didn't you knock on the door when you entered the house? Is this appropriate?"
Li Yuanzhao smiled and said: "What's wrong with us is that we are one family. My sister and I are no closer than you? Did you two say something shameful? Miaohan, how are you doing lately?"
Li Miaohan yawned and said, "I'm just talking about having a boy or a girl. I'm fine, but I'm always sleepy and my head is a little dizzy."
"Are you sleepy again? Go back to the back room and sleep for a while!" Fang Zheng hurriedly helped Li Miaohan into the back room.
Li Yuanzhao put the gift in his hand on the table casually, leaned against the sofa skillfully, and fell into it, with a look of comfort on his face.
When Fang Zheng came out, he said, "Old Fang, I'm about to give birth. Do you think it's a boy or a girl?"
"I can't guess, I can't guess."
"You are such a boring person! The baby I will give birth to will definitely be a boy. My father has been dreaming of having a grandson for many years, and this year he will get his wish."
"How do you know, what if the child is a daughter?"
Li Yuanzhao whispered: "I have looked at the tadpole several times with a microscope. The tadpoles are so majestic that they must be a boy! Besides, all the civil and military officials are staring at me. If I give birth to a girl, where will I show my face? You Stop being such a crow! Oh... Bodhisattva bless you!"
"..."
"You said Miaohan will give birth to a boy or a girl?"
Fang Zheng thought for a moment, shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter, I don't care about that."
"Lao Fang, you are still not a man! You don't care. If you give birth to a girl, who will carry on the family line for you? She will get married in the future." Li Yuanzhao retorted, "Why don't you go find the doctor? I heard that there is a drinker It’s the perfect medicine for giving birth to a boy.”
"Forget it, it's all fake, it's the same for boys and girls!" Fang Zheng looked confused.
He really hadn't thought about the issue of having a boy or a girl, but now that Li Yuanzhao mentioned it, he was more concerned about it.
It is naturally best to have a boy. When he was born, he was a little rich second generation, and he could have three wives and four concubines. The family lived happily with money.
What if I give birth to a girl?
Damn, in this world, women are much harder to get along with than men. Of course, I can support her for the rest of my life.
But they will get married sooner or later, and a bad man can have three wives and four concubines. What will happen to his daughter if she gets married?
Give birth to a daughter and marry a man who will have many wives and concubines in the future? I need to fucking castrate that bitch!
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng gritted his teeth at first.
"Have a boy! You must have a boy!"
"Hey, what you say is nice. It's the same if you give birth to a boy or a girl. Why don't you want a boy? Lao Fang, I think Miaohan is about to give birth. Let her go to the palace to recuperate quickly. There is the best stable woman in the palace. Help her deliver the baby, and strive to be as foolproof as possible. Giving birth to a baby will cost you half your life, so don't be careless!"
"I won't rush you. Father will urge you in two days."
Fang Zheng shook his head.
The stable woman in the palace? He had already inquired about it, and heard that the most experienced masters were recruited from the private sector, but there were not so many people in the palace to deliver babies, and I am afraid that the craftsmanship had already fallen out of the top ranks.
It’s better to find a reliable folk woman who is reliable. Besides delivering babies 365 days a year, she is also on the way to deliver babies!
"Your Highness, I have found the best stable woman, so this matter will not trouble the palace."
Seeing his resolute attitude, Li Yuanzhao said helplessly: "Okay, just be careful in everything. My eyelids have been twitching lately and I'm always panicking."
"Don't talk nonsense! The Bodhisattva is still here!"
