Yingbao and Wei Zhan watched the carriage go away until they could no longer see it, then they took Wuhui back to their house.
Wuhui returned to the house with brisk steps, helped his aunt sit down on the high chair, and stood on tiptoe, taking a piece of fruit from the table and delivering it to her aunt: "Auntie, please have a piece of fruit to quench your thirst. Bar."
Yingbao was still depressed, so she took the loquat from Wuhui and said, "Thank you very much 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 swayed his legs happily.
The days pass by.
The end of October soon came.
Several days have passed since the due date, and Yingbao shows no signs of giving birth.
Mrs. Wang was anxious and immediately invited two well-known 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 fetus is in the right position, 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.
But inducing labor is very dangerous. Mrs. Wang shook her head and refused: "No! You can't induce labor."
Since the fetus has not yet entered the pelvis, it must not be mature yet.
It is said that a woman who is pregnant for ten months and gives birth 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 more 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.
Over at the Wei residence, Mrs. Cao and her eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law sat 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 the baby hasn't been born yet. I'm afraid something big is going to happen."
“Who says it’s not the case? Alas, it’s really a crime. If anything happens, Qi Lang will be in bad luck. He is a royal princess, and the superiors will definitely investigate him.”
“Hey, will it affect us then?”
“I can’t say for sure.”
A few people were chatting away 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 gathered at the door not knowing what to do.
She pursed her lips and smiled, turned to the two of them and said, "Hey! Something might really have happened to 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 maid and said, "Go to the main courtyard and ask around to see 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 it was the princess who started it. Madam sent people to invite several midwives outside, and also invited a goddess. I'm afraid it's really bad."
If you ask a goddess to give birth to a child, it will definitely cause the mother to have difficulty in giving birth and the child will not be born.
The people were stunned for a moment, with different expressions on their faces.
Mr. Cao cracked a few pumpkin seeds, spit out the shells deftly, and said in a gloating tone: "Oh, people, you can't be too arrogant. This is retribution." The other two people did not answer.
It's better not to echo such words that harm one's virtue. You also have children. It would be terrible if retribution comes to your own family.
Princess's Mansion,
Yingbao is indeed activated, and there are signs of dystocia.
It was not that the fetus was in an incorrect position, but that her stomach was cramping and painful, and the cervix would not open.
Mrs. Wang and Wei Zhan were going crazy with anxiety, but Yingbao was walking back and forth in the room with her belly in one hand and gnawing on a crisp persimmon in the other.
The midwife said from the side: "When you give birth to a baby, you need to walk more so that the baby can enter the basin smoothly and the cervix will open faster."
Another midwife said: "When a baby is born in my hometown, 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 scary things, but he couldn't rebuke her at this time, so he pulled his wife and said, "You lie down for a while first."
Yingbao happened to be tired from walking, so she was helped by Wei Zhan and lay back on the bed. She called to Xuanwu in her heart: "Am I going to have a dystocia?"
Xuanwu: "It's far away 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."
ˆ Yingbao:.
She suspected that Xuanwu was deliberately ridiculing 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.
Yingbao 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 Mudan 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 Wudingzhi, her whole body felt warm and her abdomen twisted, as if the fetus was stretching out and kicking its legs inside.
After a while, he calmed down again, and then his 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!"
Mu Dan hurriedly shouted outside: "The princess is about to give birth! Someone come quickly!"
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?"
Yingbao 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.
With the baby crying, 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)
