The Crown Princess looked at Man Bao eagerly, stretched out her wrist and said, "Man Bao, would you like to see my pulse?"
The pulse is naturally to be seen.
Man Bao put down the medicine box, took out the pulse pillow, stretched out his hand to feel the pulse of the princess, and then stretched out his hand to touch her stomach, and said: "I won't give birth tonight, but it will hurt."
As soon as the words fell, the Crown Princess let out an "ouch", holding her belly in pain for an instant and being speechless.
Man Bao could only massage her acupoints to make her less painful. After a while, the princess finally recovered. She took a few quick breaths and cried, "Is it so painful to have a baby?"
Man Bao nodded, "Yes, it is said in medical books that the pain of childbirth is the most painful in the world, so you must conserve your strength, Crown Princess."
Man Bao tactfully persuaded: "I may not be able to sleep well tonight, but you have to sleep too. Now you get out of bed and walk around? You can fall asleep when you are tired from walking."
The princess asked, "Is there no other way to relieve the pain? I heard that you gave Han Wuniang pain relief when she delivered her."
"She had a caesarean section, and she needs to pass out. The princess wants to give birth naturally, so she definitely can't do that." Man Bao thought for a while and said, "But you can try acupuncture, but it's just to relieve some pain. , It is impossible to completely stop the pain.”
The princess expressed her understanding, and looked at Man Bao eagerly waiting for her to get the needle.
Man Bao was speechless: "You are just in pain now, you don't need this, you'd better wait until the official delivery."
Seeing the concubine's bitter face, Man Bao explained: "The pain of labor is also for you to feel and adapt to the pain earlier, otherwise you will not be able to bear the sudden pain during childbirth."
People's ability to endure pain will grow.
The princess didn't know if she accepted her argument, anyway, she no longer asked Man Bao to give her an injection now.
Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the dark sky outside and said, "Then I'm going back tonight?"
The princess immediately reached out to grab Man Bao, and then looked at the prince.
The prince got up and said, "You don't have to go back tonight, just stay here and watch the princess."
The voice on this side fell, and Eunuch Wu's voice sounded outside again, "His Royal Highness, Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Zheng from the imperial hospital are here."
The two imperial physicians were also invited by the East Palace.
Neither the crown prince nor the princess concubine had any experience in giving birth, and she thought she was going to give birth immediately after a burst of pain, so she sent someone to invite Zhou Man, and at the same time sent someone to the imperial hospital.
When the woman Wen who lived closest came over to check and appease the princess, Man Bao also arrived.
The prince thought for a while, and said simply: "Leave the two imperial physicians, come, and clean up the side hall for them to live in."
"Wait a minute," Man Bao asked, "Shouldn't the side hall be cleaned up and used as a delivery room?"
The prince and princess didn't speak, and the maid at the side explained in a low voice: "The princess is not very familiar with the side hall, and she always feels flustered after moving in, so she decided to give birth in the main hall."
As soon as Man Bao heard it, she immediately looked into the inner room. She couldn't see anything through the screen, so she got up, "Then I have to clean it up again, have you done it?"
The palace lady immediately said: "I have just cleaned up according to the instructions of you and the stable women, you can go and have a look."
The curtain in the inner room was rolled up, and the bed above was replaced with a clean and simple one. Man Bao stepped forward, touched it, and smelled it.
The palace maid said in a low voice: "The stable women have checked and found nothing extra."
Man Bao nodded, turned out of the inner room, looked at the prince and princess tangled and said: "Do I really want to stay here tonight?"
She said: "In fact, the Chongwen Museum is not very far from here, it's all in the East Palace."
The prince frowned, "Why are you pushing back and forth?"
Man Bao said: "Bai Shan is still waiting for me outside, and after resting, he will have energy when he really gives birth tomorrow, right?"
The prince was speechless, "You see a doctor, why is he a student from the Chongwen Museum?"
Man Bao paused and said: "He is worried about His Royal Highness."
The prince snorted, whether he was worried about him or Zhou Man, he was not a fool.
The crown prince got up directly and said: "You can stay with the crown princess, as for Bai Shan, let him and Imperial Physician Liu be companions."
The stable women have been watching, and the prince can't stay for too long. He said to the princess: "If you feel hurt, tell me, don't hide it, and if you need anything, just order the servants to do it. I'm just outside." Keep it."
The Crown Princess was indeed more at ease when she heard the words, she nodded repeatedly and said: "I know, your Highness, let's go."
The prince nodded to Zhou Man, turned around and left.
As soon as he left, Mrs. Wen and the aunts breathed a sigh of relief. Men are generally not allowed to enter the delivery room, but the prince has a bad temper. They just tried to persuade them before but he gave them a glare, so they didn't dare to persuade them any more. up.
As soon as the prince went out, Man Bao immediately took off his shoes and sat down on the couch to talk to the princess, "You are so nervous, didn't you rehearse how you will give birth when you give birth?"
I heard from Mr. Mo that when they were still conceiving in the human body a long time ago, pregnant women would conduct production training and explain various knowledge before giving birth, so that the pregnant women could try their best to know what they were doing during delivery and not be too panicked.
Man Bao has come to see her every day since the concubine was pregnant. Between the two of them, the concubine taught her to play several pieces of music;
And Man Bao also taught her a lot of medical principles about puerpera, from correcting the fetal position to giving birth rehearsal, they have done it all.
The princess smiled wryly and said: "I thought it was fine before, but I really didn't expect it to be so painful. When I was in pain, I couldn't think of anything."
If Granny Wen hadn't come to comfort her, she would probably have panicked even more.
Hearing this, Man Bao could only sigh, stretched out his hand to touch her big belly and said, "Forget it, since you forget about it as soon as it hurts, it's useless to hold Buddha's feet temporarily at this moment, anyway, you just remember, no matter how painful it is, Just listen to us."
The woman on the side nodded repeatedly. The princess concubine has no experience, but they have. Basically, if the parturient mother listens to them, the childbirth will be considered half successful.
The princess nodded repeatedly.
Man Bao looked at the time and said to the princess: "Go to sleep now while your stomach is not making noise. Don't worry, I'm in this courtyard and I won't go back."
In a year, especially in the past ten months, the two of them have been together almost day and night. The Crown Princess has already developed a feeling of dependence on her. When she said this, the Crown Princess felt relieved and went back to sleep in the inner room with the maid's hand , before leaving, he also ordered the maid, "Pick up this soft couch and let Doctor Zhou sleep."
The lady Wen and the aunts and maids at the side were all envious. It was a great honor to be able to sleep on the couch in the main room of the East Palace.
But Man Bao obviously didn't think of this, after the princess fell asleep, she ran out to find Bai Shan first, and of course, took the medicine box that she had been refusing to leave her sight.
