Chapter 463 Giving birth
Yingbao and Wei Zhan watched the carriage go away until they could no longer see it, then they led Wuhui back home.
Wuhui returned to the house with brisk steps, helped his aunt sit down on the high chair, stood on his toes, took a fruit from the table and gave it to his aunt: "Auntie, please eat some fruit to quench your thirst. Bar."
Yingbao was still depressed, so she took the loquat from Wuhui: "Thank you Wuhui, you can eat it too."
Wuhui nodded and gave another one to Wei Zhan. Then he peeled off the yellow and orange peel of the loquat and took a bite. It was extremely sweet.
He sat beside the Arhat's couch and swung his legs happily.
The days passed.
Soon it’s the end of October.
A few days have passed since the due date, and Yingbao shows no signs of giving birth.
Mrs. Wang was anxious and immediately invited two famous midwives in the county to show her daughter-in-law what was going on.
The midwife touched Ying Bao's belly, frowned and said, "The fetal position is correct, but it hasn't entered the pot yet. I'm afraid I need to use some oxytocin."
Today's fertility elixirs are mostly made from roasted and dried rabbit brains, which are about the size of sycamore seeds. They are mixed with tiger bone powder, rabbit blood, seahorses, raw turtles, mercury, etc. If a woman eats them, she will start to have uterine bleeding in less than a day. shrink.
However, it is very dangerous to induce labor. Mrs. Wang shook her head and refused: "No! You cannot induce labor."
Since the fetus has not yet entered the pelvis, it must not be mature yet.
It is said that when a woman is pregnant for ten months and gives birth, it is like a melon that falls off its stem when it is ripe. This melon is not yet ripe, so it cannot be picked by force.
Seeing Mrs. Wang's insistence, the midwife did not force it, "Let's wait a few more days and see. If the baby is not born after ten days, the baby's head will be hard and it may not be easy to deliver."
Wei Zhan became nervous when he heard this and asked anxiously: "What should we do?" He would rather not have children than let anything happen to Ying Bao.
The midwife glanced at Mrs. Wang and said, "Perhaps you have calculated the days wrongly?"
Wei Zhan looked at Yingbao blankly.
Ying Bao sat up from the bed and said, "I probably made a mistake in my calculations. We should wait a few days before talking."
So, after waiting for several days, it soon entered midwinter.
Mrs. Wang and Wei Zhan didn't want to do anything else and stayed by Ying Bao's side all day long.
At the Wei residence, Mrs. Cao and her eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were sitting around the stove eating melon seeds and chatting.
"Could Qilang's wife be pregnant with a stillborn baby, right? It's been so long since the due date and she still hasn't given birth. Tsk, tsk, I'm afraid something big is going to happen."
"Who says it's not the case? Oh, what a crime. If anything happens, Qilang will be in bad luck. She is the imperial princess, and the superiors will definitely investigate her."
"Hey, will it affect us then?"
"I can't say for sure."
Several people were gossiping and gossiping, and suddenly they heard someone running past outside.
Mrs. Cao stood up, lifted the door curtain and looked outside. She saw a commotion in Mrs. Wang's yard. The girls and women were gathered at the door not knowing what they were doing.
She pursed her lips and smiled, turned to the two of them and said, "Hey! Something might really have happened over there at Qilang!"
Wei Erlang's wife quickly asked: "What should I say?"
"We'll find out after we let someone take a look." Wei Sanlang's wife turned to her girl and said, "Go to the main courtyard and ask around to find out what happened."
The girl agreed, turned around and ran out of the house.
After a while, the girl came back and said excitedly: "They said that the princess started it. Madam sent people to invite several midwives outside, and even invited a goddess. I'm afraid it's really bad."
If you ask a goddess to give birth to a baby, it will definitely mean that the mother will have difficulty in giving birth and the baby will not be born.
Several people were stunned, with different expressions on their faces.
Ms. Cao cracked a few pumpkin seeds, spit out the shells deftly, and said in a gloating tone: "Oh, people, please don't be too arrogant. This is going to be retribution."
The other two didn't answer.
It's better not to go along with such words that harm your moral character. You also have children. It would be terrible if retribution comes to your family.
Princess's Mansion,
Yingbao is indeed activated, and there are signs of dystocia.
It wasn't that the fetus was in an incorrect position, but that her stomach was cramping and painful, and her cervix would not open.
Mrs. Wang and Wei Zhan were going crazy with worry, but Ying Bao was walking back and forth in the room with her belly in one hand and nibbling a crisp persimmon in the other.
The midwife said from the side: "You need to walk more when you have a baby, so that the baby can enter the basin smoothly and the cervix will open faster."
Another midwife said: "In my hometown, when giving birth, some people tie the mother to a mule behind her back and make the mule run in circles in the yard. The woman's howl is so miserable that it can be heard for miles away."
Wei Zhan's scalp went numb after hearing this, and he quickly stopped her from continuing: "Stop talking."
Ying Bao didn't take it seriously and asked enthusiastically: "What happened next? Are the woman, mother and son safe?"
The midwife sat on the chair with her legs crossed and said: "It will be safe naturally if it goes smoothly. If there is difficulty in giving birth, the blood will drip all over the yard, and the face will soon turn as white as paper." Where can I live?"
Wei Zhan was a little angry when he saw that the midwife was telling his wife all these horrible things, but he couldn't reprimand her at this time, so he pulled his wife and said, "You lie down for a while."
Yingbao happened to be tired from walking, so she was helped by Wei Zhan and lay back on the bed, calling to Xuanwu in her heart: "Am I going to have a dystocia?"
Xuanwu: "It's far from dystocia."
"Then why has my stomach hurt for so long and I haven't given birth yet?" Ying Bao was depressed.
Xuanwu: "Because your child is lazy and refuses to move."
Yingbao:.
She suspected that Xuanwu was deliberately mocking her.
"How about I take some inducing labor medicine?" If she didn't give birth, she wanted to take a nap first.
Xuanwu: "Then eat a Wuding Zhizhi tree. That thing has a better effect on inducing labor than the mortal world."
As soon as she finished speaking, a palm-sized Wuding Zhi appeared in her palm.
Ying Bao didn't hesitate, picked it up and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it and swallowing it.
She was the only one in the bedroom at the moment, along with Mu Dan and Xinghua, but they were standing at the door, waiting to be summoned.
Wei Zhan and his mother, Mrs. Wang, also went out to talk to the midwife and debated whether to give her an inducing labor pill.
After Yingbao ate a whole Wuding Zhizhi, her whole body felt warm and her abdomen twisted, as if the fetus was stretching and kicking its legs inside.
It calmed down again after a while, and then my stomach began to tighten. About a quarter of an hour later, the pain became severe.
Ying Bao held back her scream, inhaled over and over again, and then called Mu Dan: "I'm going to give birth! Call someone to come!"
Mu Dan hurriedly shouted outside: "The princess is about to give birth! Someone, hurry up!"
There was a sound of footsteps running into the bedroom. Wei Zhan hugged his wife and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Does it hurt too much?"
Ying Bao was so painful that she was sweating, and she didn't even bother to answer.
Mrs. Wang and the midwife pulled Wei Zhan and said angrily: "Get out quickly, don't make trouble here!"
Wei Zhan had no choice but to put down his wife and retreat to the door, looking at his wife on the bed with worry.
At this time, Ying Bao was groggy. She subconsciously followed the midwife's instructions and exerted force. She felt a warm current slipping out of her body, and her whole body felt relaxed.
Following the baby's cry, the midwife said with a smile: "Congratulations, Princess, you are a daughter of a daughter."
Ying Bao felt relieved and suddenly fell into darkness. (End of chapter)
