Feng Liao was very happy and looking forward to the fact that Yong Ruo was pregnant with a child.
Until that day, he saw an excerpt—his sister-in-law in the next room died of dystocia.
Dystocia? ! died? !
This extremely impactful thing hit the weakest part of his heart.
It's not like he hasn't heard the news of "so-and-so died of dystocia" before. But before Yong Ruo became pregnant, he never cared about such news of death.
It’s like a person who is very healthy himself and his family, when he hears that someone he is not familiar with died of illness, at most he will regret it twice, and he will not feel too sad, because he will not have a sense of substitution.
But when Yong Ruo was pregnant with a child, when he heard the words "died in childbirth", he immediately connected with Yong Ruo - Yong Ruo was also pregnant with a child and was about to give birth!
What if Ruo Ruo also had a difficult labor? Such fear lingered in his heart and gradually increased. He didn't dare to think, but couldn't help thinking.
So one night, he couldn't help but ask Yong Ruo: "How is the child born?"
After thinking about it, Yong Ruo decided to teach him the basics of women giving birth, lest he become a father too easily and lose his sense of reality.
After Feng Liao figured out where the child was born, she suddenly felt like she was about to collapse: "How old was the child when he was born?"
Yong Ruo made a gesture.
Feng Liao's eyes widened in an instant: "The place is so small, how can such a big child get out?"
He compared one of his body organs with the size of the newborn that Yong Ruo gestured to, and the gap was so big that he doubted his life.
Yong Ruo coughed lightly, and decided to talk about the common phenomenon—a woman can't be too sensible, act like a baby, act like a baby, sell miserable or sell miserable, so as not to spoil the man, right
"So it will be very painful for a woman to give birth to a child. If the child is really too big, it will be more dangerous..." After saying a few words, she saw Feng Liao's face turned blue from fright, and she didn't dare to scare him any more.
The old driver, Yong Ruo, turned around without changing his face, and started to comfort Feng Liao instead: "But don't worry! Those who are prone to dystocia are those weak women. Like me, I can ride horses, grow vegetables, and compete with you A woman who does crunches and planks can give birth very easily. She gave birth in a few clicks... "
It took her quite a while to get Feng Liao's face to turn better.
However, once the seeds of fear have taken root, they germinate and grow.
As soon as she turned her head, Feng Liao quietly summoned the imperial physician who was good at obstetrics and pediatrics and the top midwife in the palace to ask, "Is it dangerous for a woman to give birth?"
The imperial doctor and the maternity nurse had a tacit understanding: it is necessary to say the ugly things first; it is necessary to let the emperor realize that it is a very risky thing for a woman to have a child-this will not only make it easier for them to shirk when something happens, but also facilitate them. Receive rewards when nothing happens.
After explaining the various risks of childbirth in detail, the maternity mother summed it up with a folk saying with great emotion: "... a woman gives birth to a child by stepping into the gate of hell. Those unlucky people, go But I can't come back."
Feng Liao fell into deep and constant fear: What if something happens to Ruoruo when she gives birth? He couldn't even think about it.
Yong Ruo discovered that Feng Liao had obvious symptoms of anxiety disorder: restlessness, insomnia, shaking hands, frequent urination...
She wanted to exchange medicine from Lulu to treat Feng Liao's illness, but Lulu said, "He needs medicine for his heart disease. He has a heart disease, and I can't help it."
Yong Ruo had no choice, on the one hand, he asked the imperial physician to prescribe the right medicine for Feng Liao, and on the other hand, he began to prescribe Feng Liao's "heart medicine".
First of all, she brainwashed Feng Liao, saying over and over again that she was different from ordinary women and that it must be easy to have children.
Feng Liao agrees on the surface, but her expression is not relaxed, obviously the brainwashing effect is not very good.
Then, she wrote the precautions during pregnancy that she had only kept in her mind before—including pregnancy recipes, schedule, how many daily walks, etc., into a booklet, explaining the benefits of doing this and that, and letting Feng Liao supervise her implementation.
Feng Liao immediately supervised her meticulously every day. His attention was distracted by these things, and the symptoms of anxiety finally eased.
However, this also leads to a side effect:
Feng Liao would start to frown when he saw Yong Ruo eat more food, and his frown would be deeper if Yong Ruo wanted to eat late at night.
If Yongruo's food intake exceeded his mental capacity, he would forcefully order the eunuchs and maids to take away the food and stop giving it to Yongruo.
Because he was worried that Yong Ruo would raise the child too much and it would be difficult to have a baby.
Yong Ruo almost burst into tears: other pregnant women eat whatever they want, she is actually at risk of going hungry!
I want to cry! What does it mean to lift a rock and shoot yourself in the foot? She is!
Therefore, Yongruo thought of a third way to alleviate Fengliao's anxiety symptoms: take a little time every day to copy scriptures, saying that it is to pray for the child.
Feng Liao was immediately inspired. He not only copied the scriptures more diligently and piously than her, but also declared that he would fast and pray for blessings with divergent thinking.
He even stopped the autumn competition that year.
The civil and military officials of the whole court are speechless: Whose wife has never given birth to a child? Although having a baby is indeed a very risky thing, you don't have to exaggerate like this, do you
Most of the rich and noble families spontaneously began to pray for the queen—seeing the emperor like this, if something happens to the queen during childbirth, the emperor must not go crazy? ! Changing the emperor is not fun at all, and the mad emperor is even more terrifying.
Everyone feels a lot of pressure, and the incense in the major Buddhist temples and Taoist temples inside and outside the capital is particularly good.
After finally getting to the day of childbirth, Yong Ruo decisively exchanged the most advanced full set of childbirth services with Luluo in order to prevent Fengliao from having a mental breakdown during the long waiting.
When others give birth to their first child, it takes at least six or seven hours from the start of contractions to the full dilation of the cervix.
However, Yongruo's palace mouth opened extremely quickly, it only took half an hour from contraction to full opening of the palace mouth. She had just moved from the bedroom to the delivery room when the midwife was yelling, "I see the baby's head!"
For others, from the full opening of the cervix to the birth of the child, it takes at least an hour.
It took Yong Ruo less than a quarter of an hour for the child to be born...
When the baby's cry came from the delivery room, Feng Liao felt like her whole body was exhausted.
"Where's the queen? How's the queen?" He asked eagerly at the door of the delivery room, if he hadn't been held back by Jiao Tong and others, he would have rushed in.
Yong Ruo shouted loudly through the door curtain: "I'm fine! Don't make a fuss and be ashamed!"
Her voice was loud and full of energy, and she didn't have the feeling of weakness that a mother should have at all.
A relieved smile appeared on Feng Liao's face, and she sat down on the ground with her legs limp. Jiao Tong quickly winked at the little eunuch, and asked someone to move a small seat for him to sit on—what does it look like to sit on the ground, a majestic king of a country? !
Empress Dowager Wei, Zhou Shi and others all showed their sincere joy, and asked in unison: "Is it the prince or the princess?"
The midwife came out with a smile on her face: "Congratulations to the emperor! Congratulations to the queen mother! Congratulations to the wife! You are a little prince."
Feng Liao hasn't recovered yet. The Empress Dowager Wei and the Zhou family showed even more sincere joy: It's great to get a man in one fell swoop!
After everything was tidied up in the delivery room, the imperial doctor went in to feel the pulse of the mother and child, and came out to say, "The empress and the little prince are all well!"
Only then did Feng Liao feel relieved, and excitedly went in to see Yong Ruo and the child.
The midwife was half-flattering, half-sentimental, and marveled at Feng Liao: "There are not a few children delivered by slaves, and it has never been as smooth as today. The empress is really lucky!"
Feng Liao said happily: "Of course! My queen is naturally the most blessed person in the world. Ruoruo, you really gave birth to the child in a 'swipe'." She was so proud that she couldn't hold back her words.
Yong Ruo almost wanted to roll his eyes: You weren't the one who was so scared and anxious before co-authoring
She also wanted to roll her eyes at herself: what about acting like a baby? What about selling badly? I'm so virtuous, right? !
Yongruo's name of "blessing" disappeared without a trace.
Those noble ladies who are pregnant with children will do everything possible to come into the palace, begging to touch Yongruo's hand and rub Yongruo's blessings, hoping that they can also give birth to the child by "swimming".
Those noble ladies who have not conceived children also want to enter the palace to touch their hands and rub their blessings, hoping to conceive a child sooner.
Yongruo took the opportunity to absorb a lot of sterilization drugs—after the destruction of Kurong Pavilion, other sterilization drug organizations took the opportunity to rush into the capital to compete for the market in the capital.
Of course, they also face the problem of sterilization pills becoming invalid.
Later, sterilization drugs gradually lost their market in the capital.
Fortunately, Yong Ruo raised more and more donkeys, so the source of point income was not cut off.
