Chapter 110: Protecting the Birth

It was midnight, and the doors of each household were closed, and the night was quiet in Shengjing City.

But only the Huainan Prince's Mansion was in a mess.

Princess Huiru took the initiative to get pregnant last night and has been dysfunction until now. For half a night, the woman alone called four people, and a pot of blood was brought out from the main room. The screams of hoarseness in the house never stopped.

After receiving the news, Xiao Rang and Gu Xiyan rushed over and comforted the old princess of Huainan who were waiting outside the delivery room with silver hair. The two were waiting anxiously outside the delivery room.

After about an entire hour, the screams in the main room gradually weakened. On the other side, Wen Po ran back and forth with sweat, "The princess is still infertile. Now she has only opened her fingers for two times, and the child's shadow has not been seen. The princess seems to have no strength."

The imperial physician beside him hurriedly said, "First give the princess a bowl of ginseng soup, then put a piece of ginseng slice at the base of the princess' tongue and press it! Go quickly!"

The peaceful woman responded quickly and turned around and left in a hurry.

Doctor Li rushed to the head of Huainan old princess, "I know that after the difficult delivery period has been long, the fetus is in danger of suffocation. The princess is thin and has exhausted all her strength in the past few hours. The ordinary ginseng is afraid that the medicine is not effective enough, so now it can only be hung with thousand-year-old ginseng."

As soon as the words came, the old princess of Huainan didn't even care about the tears in the corners of her eyes, and immediately asked someone to go to the warehouse to get thousand-year-old ginseng.

Listening to the crying in the delivery room, Gu Xiyan's eyes were filled with anxious eyes, and he turned around in a hurry, but finally his body shook and he almost fainted.

Xiao Rang hugged her quickly and gently helped the person to the chair, and said softly, "Xi'er, can you go to the guest room to rest for a while?

I know you are worried about the princess, but your body is also very important. How can you do it without closing your eyes overnight?"

Gu Xiyan leaned over and hugged the man, shook his head constantly, "I want to wait for the princess to give birth safely."

Xiao Rang knew that Gu Xiyan and Princess Huiru had always had a good relationship, so he finally sighed and held her hand to compromise, "Then sit here and wait, and don't stand anymore."

...

I couldn't sleep all night and suffered until dawn, and a loud cry came from the delivery room.

Xiao Rang is a man who is a man, so he naturally cannot get close to the delivery room.

The old princess entered the delivery room with a dragon head crutch, and after a while, an old woman carried the child out of the delivery room with joy and showed it to Xiao Rang and Gu Xiyan.

"Thank you, the wife's blessing, mother and daughter are safe!"

The newborn in the cradle was not open yet, but was curling his hands, closing his eyes tightly, and crying loudly.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but cry with joy as she looked at the baby in the cradle, and Xiao Rang behind her was also quite moved.

Gu Xiyan tucked the tears from the corner of his eyes and asked, "Can the princess a great concubine?"

The woman said, "When the Madam Hou said, the princess is fine, she is just a little tired after giving birth!"

...

In the delivery room, the maid and the mother had already cleaned up the blood, replaced it with a new mattress, lit a new incense, and a faint smell of blood wafted in the room.

Gu Xiyan walked to the bed, held the hand of the Princess Huainan tightly, and said with red eyes, "Mr. Marquis and I are here to congratulate the princess. The child is very healthy, and the dimples on both cheeks look very much like the princess."

On the bed, Princess Huiru was wearing a slut and a forehead embroidered with five bat patterns. She was in poor spirits and seemed to be unable to open her eyes. Her lips turned pale. She looked at Gu Xiyan and said with a reluctant smile, "Thank you and the Marquis have been in the palace all night... I was very scared last night... When I almost couldn't hold on, I thought about the prince desperately, but at least I survived it.

The prince hasn't come back yet, I have to let the child meet his father safely."

Gu Xiyan turned sideways, tucked tears with Princess Huiru on her back, and looked back with a smile, "Princess, don't worry, now that the mother and daughter are safe, the prince must be very happy! The prince is about to be triumphant, and the princess should cheer up and cheer up."

The Princess of Huainan shook her head, "You don't understand - this day I'm afraid of is finally here. Li Su has kindness to the Rouran royal family and affection for me. How can I let Li Su be humiliated for me?

Because of me, I am suspicious of the monarch?

I don’t want to make Li Su suspected of betraying the party because of myself, nor do I want to defame the Qingming Festival in the Huainan Prince’s Mansion.”

"I'm sorry to him."

After hearing this, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but recall the conversation between the two in the pavilion on the top of the Yulinyuan Mountain that day. He immediately felt a lot of emotion, "How can the princess attribute all the mistakes to herself?

The so-called great merits shock the master, and those who are in the upper ranks are afraid of meritorious officials. This has been the case since ancient times! Those who were from the Qing Dynasty will be able to be resolved safely when the Prince of Huainan returns to Beijing.

Princess should not worry too much!”

"I hope so."

Princess Huiru looked at the cradle beside her pillow and smiled bitterly, "I am not a competent mother... I'm sorry that this child fell to the ground early before he was full term..."

The child in the cradle was only seven months old, and he was a small ball and couldn't stop crying.

A child who falls to the ground after seven months of pregnancy is commonly known as "Seven Stars".

The imperial physician had just told the old princess of Huainan that the child was under term and fell to the ground before the melon was ripe and fell to the ground. His body was not as healthy as the ordinary child. If he wanted to grow up safely in the future, he would take care of him more carefully than the ordinary child.

Gu Xiyan smiled and comforted, "The princess probably doesn't know. I heard from the elders in the family that these seven-star children are much smarter than ordinary children. Today, the child has landed safely, and is a person with great fortune and destiny."

After the words finished, Gu Xiyan teased the baby again and said, "Baby, do you think so?"

You must be more obedient in the future so that your mother can rest assured!”

Princess Huiru smiled when she heard this and looked at the baby in her cradle.

Xiao Rang and Gu Xiyan were worried all night in the Huainan Prince's Mansion. Fortunately, the mother and daughter were safe. The group returned to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion in the morning light. Xiao Rang hugged Gu Xiyan directly to the inner room of Ningyuan's main room.

Gu Xiyan was also very tired, so he let the man untied his hairpin for him, sat on the bed, leaning against the man's arms with his quilt.

Three thousand black silk lay a couch, Xiao Rang kissed the beauty's hair, and held her hands tightly, "Xi'er, let's give birth to this one, and we will never give birth again."

Gu Xiyan was stunned and looked up and said, "Has the Marquis scared?"

Last night outside the delivery room, she looked at the man with a serious look, thinking that he was too worried about Princess Huiru, so she didn't think about it elsewhere.

I think although Xiao Rang has experienced many battles, this woman's childbirth is the first time she has seen this woman's childbirth.

Thinking of this, she said softly, "Women always have to experience some pain in giving birth. When our child is born, the Marquis will wait for me outside the delivery room."

"I'm not scared."

Xiao Rang shook his head and frowned slightly, "Xi'er is pregnant for ten months, and it's already hard to bear."

"When I go to the future, when I think of leaving you alone in the delivery room to bear all this, I watch you blood flow and listen to your crying screams with my own ears, but I can't do anything and can't help at all..."

"This feeling of watching you suffer is even more uncomfortable than killing me."

Last night, Huiru was dying for the last night and shouted heart-wrenchingly for the middle of the night. A pot of blood came out of the room. Xiao Rang couldn't imagine that if the person in the delivery room was Gu Xiyan, he would be worried about what he would be.

Gu Xiyan's heart moved, leaned over to the man's neck, and raised his head and kissed him.

Xiao Rang was stunned by her initiative, and then hugged her tightly, deepening the kiss.

After the lingering relationship, Gu Xiyan looked up at her with red eyes, her pink lips slightly opened, "Why are you full of fighting and killing?"

Just returned from the battlefield, does the Marquis still think he is lucky?"

Xiao Rang held her hand tightly in his palm, opened his thin lips and said, "It's me who speaks without saying anything."

Gu Xiyan looked at him with tears in his eyes, and his heart became like spring water.

Since she was pregnant, Xiao Rang has taken great care of her. He would never ask her to walk if he could hold her, and would never ask anyone to do anything he could do in person.

In Gu’s mother’s words, “Man in the world thinks that having children is as simple as laying eggs from a hen. There are very few people who understand the hardships of your husband as you have for pregnancy.”

Now she has only been pregnant for several months, and she has become so worried about giving birth.

Gu Xiyan leaned over Xiao Rang's shoulder and bent his pink lips, "I will take good care of my body as the advice of several mothers and the imperial physician. When the childbirth is delivered in the future, it will be smooth, so that the Marquis can rest assured."

Xiao Rang looked slightly mournful, nodded and said, "Okay."

——

Since last time, Xiao Rang and Gu Xiyan discussed leaving Beijing to request a fiefdom, Gu Xiyan has been busy with everything in the past few days. When he moved his house in the future, he would count the warehouses in the mansion and take them away. Even the account books of the farmland shop under the Marquis' mansion were taken away.

In addition to the affairs of the inner house, there are other things that make Gu Xiyan worry.

Two maids, Indigo Yu and Hong Fei, grew up with Gu Xiyan as a child. They are both from Shengjing. Indigo Yu is two years younger than Gu Xiyan. Now they are talking about marriage and they can stay by their side for a few years.

But Hong Fei is two years older than Gu Xiyan. Now she is in her marriage age. After the fief is granted, she left Shengjing City with her mansion, which is afraid that Hong Fei's marriage will be delayed.

Hong Fei is the eldest maid next to Gu Xiyan. She is steady and decent, smart and conscientious in her daily work.

Who can be ruthless if a person is not a plant or a tree?

Over the years, the master and servant are with each other every day, loyal and loyal. It is not an exaggeration to say something inappropriate, saying that it is like a sister.

Therefore, Gu Xiyan thought for a few days and had breakfast this day, but finally left the door and called two big maids alone to come.

"I'm asking you two to come today, but there's something to ask you what you mean."

Gu Xiyan sat on the rosewood ring chair on the top, holding a cup of rhinoceros tea in his hand, and said with a faint smile.

Indigo Jade and Hong Fei looked at each other, not knowing what their ladies were selling.

"You also know that the Marquis will be invited to leave Beijing soon. The scenery of the two generations of Zhejiang is very beautiful and life is leisurely.

In terms of selfishness, I want to keep you two by my side for the rest of my life…”

After hearing this, Hong Fei and Dianyu realized what Gu Xiyan meant. They hurriedly knelt down and said, "I wish to be by my maids always! Wherever the lady goes, I will go!"

Gu Xiyan shook his head gently and signaled the two of them to get up, "It's not that they don't want to take you with them, but once they are asked to leave the capital, they will all live in Liangzhe after they are promoted.

Hong Fei's family is in Shengjing, and your parents and sisters are still alive. Now they are at the age of marriage, so I don't want to delay you.

I want to ask if you have someone you are interested in?”

Hong Fei immediately wiped her tears and said, "I am willing to follow the lady to Liangzhe, but I am unwilling to get married."
