Chapter 324 Smooth Delivery (2)

Hu Shanxiang could only feel pain now. Those people who had given birth kept their mouths shut. This was too painful. The sweat on her forehead seemed to have blurred her eyes. Everything she saw around her was blurry. She could only vaguely hear the midwife saying in her ear, "Push harder," and "Exhale."

"My queen, I have seen the little prince's head. Please try harder, it will come out soon."

"Okay..." Hu Shanxiang was almost out of strength, but when she heard this, she immediately exerted force. If she hadn't grabbed something, her nails would have dug into her flesh.

After a while, Hu Shanxiang still hadn't given birth, so the midwife immediately brought some ginseng soup and said, "Drink some quickly, madam, so that you can have strength. It will be soon. Madam, don't faint."

Hu Shanxiang was fed a few more mouthfuls of ginseng soup and felt a little stronger. She continued to work hard to give birth.

Zhu Zhanji looked at the people coming in and out and became extremely anxious. He wanted to rush in several times but was stopped every time.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, you can't go in. It's unlucky." Wu Cheng didn't dare to let go of his hand now.

"The gods and Buddhas in the sky must bless us with peace and prosperity." Zhu Zhanji now only prays for the safety of his wife and children.

"Yes, yes. Your Majesty is very blessed."

I don’t know how much time has passed, but Zhu Zhanji felt that the day was extremely long. It was obviously winter, and he was sweating while standing outside waiting.

Finally, just when Zhu Zhanji was about to lose his patience and wanted to go in again, a baby's cry rang out through the sky.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

"Wu Cheng, did you hear it? Did you hear the child crying?" Zhu Zhanji grabbed Wu Cheng's hand excitedly and asked.

"I heard it, Your Highness. The Queen has given birth." Wu Cheng nodded.

"It's born, it's born, I can go in and see Shanxiang now." Zhu Zhanji said as he was about to rush in.

"Hey, hey, hey, Your Highness, the queen just gave birth and the delivery room is not ready yet. Please wait a moment, there is no rush." ​​Wu Cheng stopped him again.

After a while, the door finally opened and the midwife came out and spoke to Zhu Zhanji.

"Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine asked you to come in."

"Grandma, how is Shanxiang?" Zhu Zhanji walked in quickly and asked about Hu Shanxiang's situation.

"Don't worry, Shanxiang is fine, she just fell into a coma. The doctor is watching her. Come and see the child." Concubine Wang immediately carried the child to him.

Zhu Zhanji was relieved to hear that the person was fine, and then he looked down at the child.

"Why does it look like this, so red and wrinkled?" Zhu Zhanji asked.

"What are you talking about? This is just the beginning of the baby's life. All babies are like this. It will be fine after a couple of days when the baby grows up. How can you talk about your daughter like this?" Concubine Wang wanted to reach out and hit him.

"Grandma Wang, give me a hug." When Zhu Zhanji heard it was a daughter, he immediately became very fond of her.

"Can you hold a baby?" Concubine Wang looked worried.

"What you said is something I have practiced a long time ago, don't worry." Zhu Zhanji took the child from her arms.

Concubine Wang looked at his experienced appearance and felt relieved. "I wanted to take him outside to show you, but the weather is too cold, so I can only let you in."

"Grandma Wang, look, she has opened her eyes!" Not long after Zhu Zhanji held the child in his arms, the child, who had her eyes closed, immediately opened her eyes.

"The girl's eyes are moving around, and you can tell she's very smart. She must have known it was you holding her, so she opened her eyes immediately and wanted to see what her father looked like." Concubine Wang also looked over with surprise.

"That's for sure, the baby must know me and greeted me in the belly?" Zhu Zhanji said with a proud tone.

"Yes Yes Yes."

"Your Majesty, it's starting to snow outside again." The maid came to report.

"It's snowing again. It looks like this year will be a good year. It snowed when the child came. Auspicious snow means a good harvest. This child is also a blessed baby." Concubine Wang became happier and happier as she looked at the child, and her smile never faltered.

Hu Shanxiang didn't wake up until the next day. Zhu Zhanji stayed by her bedside all night. If she didn't wake up, Zhu Zhanji was ready to beat the doctor.

"Shan Xiang, you finally woke up. I was scared to death. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? We have porridge and chicken soup." Zhu Zhanji saw that she woke up and couldn't control his tears.

"Your Highness, why are you still crying like a child?" Hu Shanxiang raised her hand to wipe his tears. "I'm a little thirsty and want to drink some water."

"Okay, I'll pour you some water right away." Zhu Zhanji quickly got up, poured a glass of water and fed it to her.

"Do you still want it?"

Hu Shanxiang shook her head.

"Where is the child?" Hu Shanxiang asked hurriedly after not seeing the child for a long time.

"Don't worry, the child is in the west wing, and the wet nurse is feeding her. You don't know, the little girl might have eaten it." Zhu Zhanji was beaming with joy when he talked about his daughter.

"Is the baby good-looking?" Hu Shanxiang always heard people say that newborn babies are not very good-looking.

"Oh, the child has just been born, how can we tell whether she is pretty or not? Besides, girls change a lot when they grow up, and the more you think about it, the prettier she will become."

"Your Highness, the little prince has finished drinking milk. I will bring him over to show the Queen." Lingzhi hurriedly carried him to them. Zhu Zhanji took him over. Hu Shanxiang had just woken up and her body had not recovered yet. She was still in pain and had no strength to hold the child. Zhu Zhanji held the child for her to see.

"Look at our daughter, she is so cute. You don't know, but as soon as I hugged her yesterday, she opened her eyes and looked at me. At that moment, my heart was full of truth. Thank you, Shanxiang, thank you for giving birth to a daughter for me. Thank you for your hard work." Zhu Zhanji looked at her with burning eyes.

"Your Highness, that's what you said." Hu Shanxiang felt excited when she looked at this little man. She had a family again, a child she gave birth to.

"I had thought of a few nicknames, but now I think about it, you are my mother and you gave birth to her with great difficulty. I'm afraid the full name should be chosen by the elders, so you should just give her a nickname," said Zhu Zhanji.

"As for a nickname, how about Nuannuan? Even though it's winter now, when she comes, our hearts feel like spring is in full bloom." Hu Shanxiang said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, let's call you Nuannuan, it sounds nice. Nuannuan, our Nuannuan, do you like the name your mother gave you?" Zhu Zhanji asked.

"She can't speak, how can she answer you?" Hu Shanxiang wanted to laugh when she heard what he said.

"Hey, our Nuannuan is smiling. She is smiling because she likes this name. Although she can't speak yet, she is very smart, right?" Zhu Zhanji said while hugging her.

"Your Highness said so, so be it." Hu Shanxiang looked at Zhu Zhanji holding the child tightly, "Your Highness has not rested all night, go and have some rest."

"I'm fine. I don't want to leave. I'll sleep on this couch for a while. Are you feeling unwell anywhere else?" Zhu Zhanji asked while holding her hand after handing the child to the maid.

"It just hurts a little, but nothing else."

After a while, a maid came in and said, "Your Highness, I am here to give you a massage. Please step aside first."

"Oh, then I'll go outside first." Zhu Zhanji nodded.

"What are you doing?" Hu Shanxiang hadn't reacted yet.

The nanny was quick to press her belly. Hu Shanxiang was caught off guard and screamed in pain, tears streaming down her face.

"Ah~"

Zhu Zhanji felt heartbroken as he listened outside, and wished he could suffer for her, but he could only think about it.

In the end, Hu Shanxiang almost fainted again from the pain. It was almost as painful as giving birth. She remembered that this was the lochia discharge after giving birth. It was so damn painful.

"My lady, today's session is over. We will come again tomorrow."

"Ah, there's still tomorrow." Hu Shanxiang was shocked.

"Yes, at least three to five days. Otherwise, if there is any problem, the queen will be upset."

"I understand." Hu Shanxiang's stomach ached when she thought about the three to five days left.

Why didn’t anyone tell her that giving birth is so painful, that being a woman has a hard life, and that mothers are so great.

After Zhu Zhanji and the maid had finished cleaning up, they went in to feed Hu Shanxiang.

"Shanxiang, you've worked so hard. It turns out giving birth is so hard." Zhu Zhanji had never known this before. When Sun gave birth, he did not follow her throughout the whole process. After the birth, he watched for a while and then went back to deal with government affairs. He had no idea about all this. This time, when he accompanied Hu Shanxiang in giving birth, he realized how difficult giving birth is.
