The Crown Princess had rehearsed with Man Bao before, she sank down hard, the pain weakened by Zhou Man's needle seemed to come all at once, the pain was so painful that she couldn't help crying out.
Seeing the constriction of the palace mouth, Man Bao said to the princess: "Relax, relax, take a deep breath first, yes, that's it, hold your breath, and then use your strength..."
After going back and forth several times, the princess couldn't help but shook her head and shouted: "It hurts too much, it hurts too much..."
Man Bao stretched out his hand to touch her stomach and said: "This has weakened the pain, ma'am, you can't get the needle now, you have to carry it yourself. Other women give birth in more pain than you. They can do it, and you can do it too." It must be possible, think about His Royal Highness, think about this child you have been looking forward to for many years... "
Wen Po said: "This is useless, think again, how to use more strength, come on, let's bend her legs a little more..."
Man Bao and another Wen Po went to help the princess adjust her movements, "Come on, let's do it again, inhale, exhale slowly, inhale again, and use your strength..."
Man Bao: "Yes, this time the strength is right, that's how it feels, come, come again..."
"I saw the child's head, Madam, come again, come, let's inhale..."
The prince was lying on the window and listening. Hearing the princess's cry of pain, he couldn't help walking back and forth in the yard. After turning around a few times, he turned and asked Imperial Physician Liu, "Why are you so slow?"
Imperial Physician Liu looked up at the sky and said, "Your Highness, it's already coming soon. We thought the birth would start in the afternoon."
Who knew that the crown princess's cervix opened quite quickly, and she didn't even drink the oxytocin medicine, so Zhou Man must have given the crown princess an injection.
In the room, Wenpo and Manbao were encouraging the princess. Hearing that the child's head was about to come out, the princess took a deep breath, held it back and then tried again.
Man Bao's eyes were bright, he carefully dragged the child's head, and gently pulled the child out with his hand to urinate...
A steady woman glanced at it and said loudly: "It's born, it's born, my lady, you're born."
Man Bao held the child's small head in one hand and his small buttocks in the other. Mrs. Wen quickly cut the umbilical cord and knotted it. Neither of them had time to check whether there was any dirt between the child's mouth and nose, because they were suddenly exposed to the air. The cold child opened his mouth and burst into tears.
The cry was loud, and Wen Po said happily: "The little grandson is in good health, how loud is the cry?"
That's what they said, but Man Bao and she were not slow in their movements, and they didn't dare to let him be so cold, so they immediately washed him in warm water.
Man Bao gently washed his body with an old cotton kerchief, then dried him and put him in the swaddling clothes he had prepared earlier.
Man Bao wrapped up the baby, while Wen Po and Aunt Yu were still doing the aftermath, stopping the bleeding and cleaning the dirt on the princess.
Man Bao hugged the baby and stepped forward, and said to the fainting princess, "Look, it's a boy."
Man Bao let her see the child's face, then lifted the swaddling clothes to show her the child's little Jiji, then wrapped it up and handed it to Aunt Yu, "I'll do the rest, you go to announce the good news to His Highness."
Aunt Yu breathed a sigh of relief, because the prince had already asked several times at the door when he heard the cry of the child, and the maid had already gone to answer, but the prince still lay at the door and refused to leave.
Man Bao cleaned his hands, felt the pulse of the princess and said to her: "The delivery went well, congratulations, empress."
The princess breathed a sigh of relief.
But Man Bao gave her a set of acupuncture to stop bleeding and relieve pain.
After Wen Po and the maids changed the princess's bed and clothes into clean clothes, she slowed down and turned her head to ask, "Why haven't you brought the child back after taking it out?"
The maid bowed and said, "The little emperor's grandson is in the palace now, His Royal Highness is watching. Your majesty and the empress have sent Master Gu and Auntie Gu to come and see the little emperor's grandson."
The princess looked at Man Bao, grabbed her hand and said, "Help me to see the child."
Man Bao knew what she was worried about, so he responded with a smile, turned around and went out. As soon as he opened the curtain, Man Bao was shocked. The outside was already covered with snow, and there were still big snowflakes flying in the sky.
She couldn't help but stood for a while, then turned her head and asked the maid who was guarding the side, "When did it snow?"
"It's been down for an hour."
Man Bao frowned and looked at the side hall connected to the main hall. Even though there was a corridor, it was still very cold, "It's so cold, why did you take the child out?"
The maid lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty asked Xiao Yuan to come over to see the little grandson. This is the delivery room, so we can only move to the side hall first."
The emperor sent Xiao Yuanzheng here to know the child's health status and treatment as soon as possible. After all, the prince had many disasters and disasters before. Although Zhou Man said that his illness was cured, it is always better to be cautious.
When Man Bao arrived at the side hall, Xiao Yuanzheng and Imperial Physician Liu had just taken turns to see the little emperor's grandson, saying that he was in good health.
The prince held the child stiffly in both hands, and didn't even dare to speak too loudly. He nodded repeatedly and said, "It's good to be healthy, good to be healthy..."
Aunt Gu Zhong had seen the child and wanted to go back to report. Seeing Man Bao coming out with blood, she stood up and nodded to her with a smile: "Physician Zhou has worked hard."
Man Bao smiled and said, "It's not hard."
She entered the side hall, glanced at the child in the prince's arms, and then looked at Xiao Yuanzheng.
Xiao Yuan was stroking his beard and laughing: "The little emperor's grandson is very healthy."
He asked: "Where is the princess..."
"The princess is also safe."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, so everyone was satisfied.
Man Bao glanced at Bai Shan over the crown prince, nodded slightly to him, and went down to change her clothes, which were stained with blood.
After she finished changing her clothes, the crown prince had already asked Aunt Yu to carry the child to the crown princess. He was sitting on a chair drinking tea contentedly, when he saw Zhou Man, he smiled and beckoned, "Come here."
Man Bao will pass.
The prince rolled up a portion of his sleeves and held out his hand to her, "Show Gu, can Gu get other concubines pregnant recently?"
Man Bao: ... The Crown Princess just gave birth to a child.
But she still stretched out her hand to feel the prince's pulse, and then praised him: "Your Highness is doing well, you can have intercourse, but you should still take care of your body, just don't do it too often."
The prince put down his sleeves and said: "Gu knows, by the way, Bai Shan said that your needle bag has been touched?"
Man Bao paused, but still nodded, then got up and went out to fetch the medicine box, and opened the needle bag for His Royal Highness to see her being touched.
The prince's eyes turned cold, and he asked, "What's wrong with this needle?"
"It should be soaked in medicinal materials, but I don't know what kind of medicine it is." Man Bao paused and said, "I don't know who it is, but I know my needle bag. It was touched once before, and then I used it frequently." A blindfold, but never use it."
