At the Kunning Palace, she was called Wu Niang, her daily job right now was to give Wang Rong and her massage. She learned from Imperial Physician Xu, she pressed on Wang Rong's legs to ease her edema, and at the back of her waist, her stomach was aching. Apart from that, she did not appear often in front of the Empress to serve her.
Imperial Physician Xu had said that since the Empress had eaten something beneficial to her, she needed to find a way to make the kitchen make the Empress's favorite taste. Wang Rong was actually very picky with her, because if it was completely according to her taste, she would not eat many dishes.
But it's not good.
The current palace maid s all followed according to Wang Rong's preferences, so she smiled and shook her head when she saw that there were a lot of food on the dining table that she didn't like but didn't want to eat.
Although Nutty and Wuyou were the empress's retainers and maids, they would often feel somewhat weak facing the other palace maid s in the palace. When Nutty and Wuyou came, it was as if they had found their backbone, and everyday and Nutless talked about entering the palace.
Illness's familiarity with palace rules surprised Wuyou. They thought that she would mention some of the rules of the Sickly Palace, but it became clear to them, "I knew I was going to enter the palace, so I learnt a bit."
"Let's follow the Empress into the palace, we can't lose face for the Empress." No disease.
"What big sister said." Wulv said, "I will not bring you up."
She did many things in secret and did not know what kind of work it was to steal the Great palace maid s from the shadows. She had to establish a good relationship with the palace maid s at the top and bottom of the Kunning Palace, and could not allow others to be unhappy with her.
became more and more at ease in the Kunning Palace as well. "This palace maid has not been enlightened for an entire night, I feel that she is not much weaker than the."
"Could it be that when His Majesty came to the Kunning Palace earlier, he felt that it was inappropriate to greet them?" Wang Rong asked with a smile.
"Respectful service is not necessarily a comfortable service." Zhu Yijun said, "Sometimes serving someone just right makes you feel more comfortable and at ease."
"It was due to no illness." Wang Rong He said, "She was the most fond of me. She knew better than I did how to make me feel comfortable."
"It's not a waste of your time thinking about her." Zhu Yijun said. Wang Rong He seemed to have completely recovered from the incident with Ying Tai, and did not have any nightmares anymore. With a smile on his face, Zhu Yijun was not that worried.
"It's not easy to get someone who cares about you." Wang Rong said proudly.
This was the first time Zhu Yijun had seen such a large stomach. He was a little frightened, afraid that he would bump into her, and wished that she was just lying on the bed. But at night, Zhu Yijun still had to sleep in the same bed as Wang Rong.
The Empress Dowager Li had previously expressed her dissatisfaction, saying even more so, "The Queen's stomach is getting bigger and bigger now. Your Majesty isn't worried that turning around will hinder her."
"The bed is very big, so there's no problem for the Queen Mother to worry about." Zhu Yijun said, "We have accompanied the Empress for such a long time, and if we do not accompany her during these last two months, I feel a little uneasy." It was not easy for her to sit up while holding her stomach. Zhu Yijun was a little worried that the palace maid would not be able to support her at night, so even if she was worried that he would flip over and disturb her, she insisted on staying in the same bed as Wang Rong.
He would carefully support Wang Rong as she wanted to get up at night. Sometimes, he would even personally carry her to the toilet. Wang Rong asked as she held his neck. Zhu Yijun walked steadily, "Are you still worried that we will throw you off?"
"His Majesty looked at the modest gentleman. He is a man of indomitable spirit." Wang Rong He said. For Zhu Yijun to be able to do this, it far exceeded her expectations.
She had to admit that she was touched.
"If I didn't see it with my own eyes, would I really not know how hard it would be for you to get pregnant?" Zhu Yijun caressed Wang Rong He's face and said: "It's been hard on you."
"The child was born and called me 'mother'. Even though it was bitter, it still felt good." Wang Rong said with a smile.
"His Majesty treats the empress too well." The Empress Dowager Li said, "Could it be that every time the empress gets pregnant, you become like this?"
"The empress is my wife, it doesn't matter if I treat her well." Zhu Yijun said. In fact, because of his deep feelings for the Empress, he had a good reputation among the people.
It was a pleasant surprise.
When the child was a big month old, the imperial physician could feel the baby's gender. All the imperial physicians with Imperial Hospital of sufficient rank were to check the empress's pulse, although they didn't dare say they would die, eight out of ten predicted that it would be a princess. Xu Duzhong was the last to check the pulse, but they couldn't find anything.
The empress's child had yet to be given birth, but there was a high chance that she was already a princess. The imperial harem let out a sigh of relief and began preparing gifts for the Little Princess. After the people from the Tzu Ning Palace learned of the results, they fell silent.
Wang Rong He explained the Imperial Physician's diagnosis to His Majesty, "This child is a princess."
Why did you do such a ridiculous thing as letting so many physicians judge men and women?" Zhu Yijun said unhappily, "It's already at this critical juncture, is it still important for a man to be a woman or a woman?
"It is also understandable for the Queen Mother to want to know the gender in advance." "Would Your Majesty be disappointed?"
"Disappointed about what?" Zhu Yijun said, "We watched her go from nothing to such a big stomach. It's the first time she's been naughty in your stomach, and we've even touched it personally, and we've even told her so many bedtime stories. Right now, we just want her to come out on time.
"What nonsense is His Majesty spouting? How can he not be human?" "Wang Rong laughed as she pushed him." It doesn't matter if she is a princess or a prince, whether she is disappointed or fortunate is fine as long as I know that His Majesty and I are looking forward to her arrival. "
"This is the first time I've been so nervous. I'm afraid that it might be on par with my feelings during the first imperial court meeting." Zhu Yijun said, "Right now, there is really no way to think about whether she is a man or a woman. As long as she is healthy, and as long as you are healthy, I have nothing else to ask for. Even if it is a princess, she is also my first child, the direct daughter of the Middle Palace, and deserves to be doted upon by tens of thousands. "
"Your son is worried about being spoiled, your daughter doesn't need to worry about that." Zhu Yijun suddenly said, "So what if she is raised delicately? She is a proud daughter of heaven, even if she wants to run rampant in the capital, I will still allow her."
"Your Majesty, you can't be so pampering of children." Wang Rong He said.
"You will be in charge of teaching and I will be in charge of spoiling them. I guarantee that they will not be bad." Zhu Yijun said.
"Your Majesty, your plans are quite good. In this way, the Little Princess will only think about the father everyday and will not like a single bit of me, a strict mother who is as strict as an evil great-aunt." Wang Rong He said.
"Then don't be so hard on her." Zhu Yijun said, "The emperor's daughter does not need to worry about marrying."
During this period, Wang Zhixi came to pay respects several times, but Wang Rong didn't open her mouth to keep her. She just left after paying her respects, and the old lady didn't say anything about letting her accompany the baby either.
With Wang Rong and with the support of Nutty, she walked around the room in circles during her free time. The old lady sat by the side as she watched, asking and answering questions on the preparation for production, as well as going through the process.
The delivery room was already set up, and every day he would have to go in to burn charcoal to heat up and disinfect it. In the Western Palace of Kunning Palace, he would have to choose a large cubicle to change into, once again paste thick paper, airtight, and hang thick cotton curtains at the door. It wouldn't be easy to even open the door, not to mention that there were two of these curtains at the delivery bed.
Xu Duzhong and the midwife were already on standby in the Kunning Palace, they would be able to make it as soon as they made their move. Xu Duzhong had to give Wang Rong a doctor every day.
Wang Rong acted like she was not paying attention and asked Xu Duzhong, "What if it is difficult to give birth?"
"The Empress's birthplace is very positive, and Her Highness isn't too large either. She should be able to give birth very smoothly, so it won't be difficult to give birth." Xu Duzhong said.
"Just in case." Wang Rong He said, "What if …"
Seeing Wang Rong and his serious look, Xu Duzhong looked around, only having the wet nurse by his side right now. Wang Rong said, "Imperial Physician Xu can speak bluntly, but if there is a chance, the life of my little princess and I will be entrusted to you, as well as to her."
Xu Duzhong raised his head and glanced at the wet nurse, and then said to Wang Rong and him, "If the moon is full, and your highness is still unwilling to come out, then this subject will have to prick the Empress's body with gold needles and give birth to her baby medicine."
"Then let the midwife push down the Empress's stomach."
"The reason why the legs of the little princess came out first is for the sake of danger. They will first push the child into the womb before it is born again."
"What if the baby doesn't come?" Wang Rong asked.
"What if it is to protect the Assembly? What would happen if I were to protect the little one? " No problem. "Her face was calm as she asked." "When I was giving birth, I asked the midwife. In the public, Pao Da was just like a bowl of birth control medicine. If Pao Da was like cutting open the mother's stomach, maybe the palace's methods wouldn't be so bloody."
"No difference." Xu Duzhong said, when he saw that Wang Rong did not feel offended, he said, "Only when the imperial doctors check the pulse and confirm that the fetus in your stomach is dead will it be safe to grow."
"Where do I cut my belly?" Wang Rong gestured at her belly and said, "Is there a possibility for the Imperial Physician Xu?" "Draw a knife from here, take the child out, and stitch up the thread again."
"Empress, no one has ever done such a thing." Imperial Physician Xu said as his head was drenched in cold sweat.
"I often touch my belly and feel that my little prince is only separated by a layer of skin and flesh. If I can cut open his little prince from here and bring him out, the chances of him surviving are a little higher than if I were to cut a path from below without caring about anything else." Wang Rong He said, "Although I will definitely choose to protect my child, I also want to live and watch as her highness grows up. Her highness is born without a mother, how pitiful."
"Imperial Physician Xu, go study it quietly. The lives of I and my young highness have all been entrusted to the imperial physician." Wang Rong and Nutty supported him up and bowed to the Imperial Physician Xu, "Regardless of success or failure, I don't blame the imperial physician."
How could Xu Duzhong accept the Queen's greeting? He hurriedly knelt down and bowed, "This subject will definitely do my best to protect the Empress's mother and son."
"It's all thanks to Imperial Physician Xu." Wang Rong He said.
Xu Duzhong was very sure that the empress's womb was very normal, so it shouldn't be difficult to give birth. However, being called by the empress to discuss the matter, he immediately felt a huge pressure, and was unable to sleep soundly at night. He flipped through the medical books, hoping to find any examples of success.
However, Zhu Yijun was unable to do so due to him being in labor and having difficulty sleeping and eating. He did not reveal his abilities in Kunning Palace, but was called over in Qianqing Palace, "How much confidence do you have in succeeding with the empress's labor?"
"I was about seventy to eighty percent confident before, but now I'm about half confident." Xu Duzhong said tiredly.
"What?" Only half the chance? " Zhu Yijun became anxious and stood up. "Didn't you tell us earlier that the Queen's life was extremely smooth?"
"The empress's position was very smooth, and it's the same now." Xu Duzhong said, "By right, they should be familiar with each other, so everything should be normal. But since the king is so nervous, this official will not dare to say too much.
Zhu Yijun sat down, "Regardless of whether you say it or not, we only have one request, mother and child. If you can't do it, we will ruin your family's reputation."
"Then, this humble subject can only pay my respects to the ancestors of this humble subject once I die." Xu Duzhong said.
"What I want is not your death, but the peace between mother and son of the empress." Zhu Yijun said.
"Also, if you are asked to protect your family when it comes to protecting your family, no matter what orders are coming from the outside, I will give you a death order to protect your queen." Is that clear? " Zhu Yijun whispered to Xu Duzhong.
"At that time, even if you say that I ordered you to come in and protect your highness, you still say that your highness has no chance of survival and will spare no effort to protect the empress."
"Do you understand?"
"Your subject obeys the decree." Xu Duzhong said.
