My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1860 Wishful thinking
After a while, Xiaotang brought people from the kitchen over with food boxes.

By the time the food was served, there were more than a dozen plates, all full.

Everyone knew that it was Shushu who ordered the dish, and they were speechless.

Big eyes and small belly, that's her.

Shushu smiled and greeted everyone, "Ama, Enie, please sit down. It's almost noon. Let's have a bite..."

Jueluo looked at the clock beside him.

It’s the second quarter of the morning. Is it noon already?

Jueluo said, "Just sit down and eat, don't worry about others."

Shushu pulled Jueluo's arm and said, "I can only enjoy my meal if someone accompanies me."

She can't just eat while her parents and brothers watch her, what would that mean?

Before Jueluo could continue, Qi Xi said, "We had breakfast early today, so we are all hungry. Let's eat more."

"Uh-huh……"

Shushu immediately smiled and nodded.

Everyone just sat there.

The Ninth Prince sat on her left hand, and Jueluo sat on her right hand. Seeing that it was inconvenient for her to stand up, the two helped her roll the pancake.

The Ninth Prince thought that she wanted to eat something spicy and sour, so he rolled it up with spicy shredded pork.

Jueluo knew that she loved beef, so she rolled up braised beef strips.

Shushu accepted them all and ate to her great satisfaction.

Seeing this, Qi Xi was afraid that she would choke on the dry food, so he served her half a bowl of vermicelli and cabbage soup.

This is made with chicken broth, and the oil in the broth has been skimmed off. It has the aroma of chicken broth, but is not greasy at all.

The dishes Shushu ordered were all what she wanted to eat. She ate them one by one and drank half a bowl of vermicelli and cabbage soup. She was already very full.

She restrained herself and stopped eating, fearing that she would feel nauseous after eating too much, so she put down her chopsticks.

Before, she was the only one who opened her mouth, and she hardly touched the food on the table.

Thinking that the time of delivery was uncertain, Jueluo said to everyone, "Eat a few bites, so you won't be hungry later."

Although everyone was anxious and had no appetite, they still managed to fill their stomachs.

Shushu drank rice tea and watched everyone eat and drink with a smile.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, she stood up and said, "Everyone, have some tea here. I'm going to the delivery room..."

Her water must have broken, her pants were soaked.

I was afraid that everyone would be startled, so I tried to remain calm.

This child should be born in the year of the horse and has an impatient temperament.

Less than an hour after he saw the blood, he fell down hard.

The room was completely quiet.

Jueluo hurriedly stood up, took a blanket from the side, covered Shushu's head tightly, and put a cloak on her body, then helped Shushu and said, "Let's go!"

Men are asked to stop in the delivery room for fear of being bumped into.

The Ninth Prince and Qi Xi followed behind and sent them to the door of the west wing. When they saw the two men go in, the father-in-law and son-in-law looked at each other in surprise.

In the west wing, the north room was used as a delivery room, and the south room was cleaned up as a residence for the wet nurse and the child.

Shushu entered the delivery room, took off the blanket over her head, then sat down on the kang with her hands on her belly, grinning.

My stomach felt heavy and painful, and the intervals between contractions became smaller.

"I need to change my clothes. I'm dirty..."

Shushu looked at Baiguo.

Two sets of clean clothes had already been prepared nearby.

Baiguo and Xiaochun worked together to help Shushu change his pants and socks.

My water has indeed broken. My pants and socks are wet.

Seeing that Shushu's hair was disheveled and untidy, Jueluo asked Xiaosong to get her makeup box and a comb to braid her hair, then put it into a bun and put it on her head.

The room had been drying for a day and a half and there was a smell of smoke.

Shushu told Baiguo: "Pack a few fruit plates and smoke the house with apples and pears."

Baiguo agreed and went downstairs to prepare.

The midwife was already waiting...

In the main room, several people were fidgeting.

The imperial physician Jiang, who was on duty, sat at the bottom, looking calm and composed.

Fu Jin was with the whole process of this pregnancy. The pulse was strong, and both the mother and the little prince were doing well.

only……

Thinking about what the midwife said before, Doctor Jiang was not as calm as he appeared...

Sometimes, when children are raised too well, adults suffer.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be hard to say.

Fu Jin, everything should be okay, right?

Fu Jin is not a delicate woman, and this is not her first time giving birth...

In the delivery room, Shushu was not lying on the kang, but was being supported and walking on the floor.

However, because of the severe stomach pain, she had difficulty walking and felt the changes in her body.

The duration of the contraction is still shortening.

Shushu felt uncomfortable physically, but his mind was relaxed. He looked at Jueluo and asked, "Did you give birth to Xiao Er faster than me?"

Since the first birth is slower, the second birth should be faster, right?
Jueluo thought about the past and nodded, "Yes, the baby was born in less than four hours."

However, when other children were born later, some were faster and some were slower.

Four hours is considered a short time. If it is more, it may take seven or eight hours.

Shushu grinned when he heard that.

Jueluo was helpless and said, "Are you so happy that you don't want the child to be born on the 30th? Don't believe those nonsense outside. There are twelve months in a year, more than three hundred days, and there is no day without a child..."

After hearing this, Shushu realized that there is also a saying for children born on New Year’s Eve.

Some say that he has a hard fate and will bring bad luck to his parents, while others say that he has the fate of being the God of Wealth and will have great fortune.

Shushu immediately felt that it was all nonsense.

Because if you calculate the time, there is a 50% chance that my child will be born at the age of 30.

She whispered to Jueluo: "The emperor shouldn't believe this, right? There are many people whose birthdays are in May and July..."

The Crown Prince and the Third Princess were born in May, and the Seventh Prince was born in July.

Needless to say, the crown prince lost his mother at birth, but the mothers of the third princess and the seventh prince are both fine.

Jueluo glanced at her and said, "It's your business whether the palace believes it or not. You are not allowed to believe these nonsense."

How foolish it would be to dislike your own flesh and blood just because the child was born on a bad day.

Shu Shu immediately said: "I don't believe it..."

While she said this, she was still hoping that her child would have an ordinary birthday, not on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day, so as to avoid becoming a topic of conversation among others.

As she was thinking this, she saw Bai Guo and Xiao Song at the door and ordered, "You two are not allowed to guard here. Be careful not to scare people."

Xiao Song refused to leave and raised his voice, "Fujin, don't worry about me. I'm very brave. Giving birth is hard work and I never spare any effort."

Bai Guo also refused to leave, saying, "I was outside last time, so I'm not afraid anymore."

Shu Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Don't make trouble. Go out and stay with Xiao Tang. You are not afraid. This is a good opportunity to give Xiao Tang courage."

Xiaotang was waiting in the middle hall but didn't come in.

Perhaps because of the trauma she suffered in her childhood, she was afraid of female childbirth.

Shushu sympathized with her and did not allow her to stay in the delivery room.

Xiaosong and Baiguo then went out and waited in the middle hall with Xiaotang.

Maybe it's the spiritual connection between mother and child, or maybe it's the child's impatience.

Shushu's water broke in the morning, and when the lights were turned on in the room, the baby was born.

With two "pa pa" sounds, the midwife's slaps landed on the baby.

"Wow wow wow..."

The baby cried at the top of his voice, loud and clear.

The midwife held the baby in her arms, beaming with joy, and said, "Congratulations, Madam, it's a healthy little prince..."

When Jueluo looked at the baby in the arms of the midwife, she felt even more distressed for her daughter.

Isn’t it solid?

Looking at the baby who is no younger than a full moon, chubby, one is as big as the two they had when they were little.

There is a scale ready next to it.

The midwife wrapped the baby in swaddling clothes, placed it in a basket, and weighed it.

"The little prince weighs seven and a half pounds. I have been delivering babies for half my life, but this is the first time I have seen a baby this big..."

Shushu was already exhausted, and looking at the top of the tent, he felt like a dead fish.

She was extremely tired, but her mind was clear as she looked at the child in the arms of her birthing grandmother.

This child is really filial. He was born in less than four hours.

Born on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, he has nothing to do with New Year's Eve or New Year's Day.

After hearing what the midwife said, she thought about the weight of the children when they were born...

My mind was in a mess, and I couldn't remember...

Shushu also wondered how much seven and a half jin would weigh in the future. One jin today is about 600 grams, so seven and a half jin would be about 4,500 grams. Converted to the calculation method of the future, it would be nine jin...

Giant baby...

Shushu felt even more pain.

She felt scared again. Fortunately, she realized something was wrong in the last two months and controlled her food intake. Otherwise, if the child had grown any bigger, giving birth would have become a matter of life and death.

At this moment, the maids who were waiting in the outer room had all come in.

Xiaosong lifted her legs, and Xiaochun and Xiaotang cleaned the dirt under her body.

Baiguo took a clean towel, poured hot water into it and wiped Shushu's body.

Although the delivery time was not long, she used a lot of effort and her whole body was soaked.

The midwife felt a little embarrassed when she saw that she was the only one happy and everyone else had an unhappy look on their faces.

Isn't it time to give out rewards?
Mother and child are safe, so this should be a double reward, right?

There was a dining table in the main room, but the food was cold and no one had the appetite to eat.

The Ninth Prince wanted to go into the delivery room himself, but he also knew that would only cause more trouble and would not be of much help, so he could only send He Yuzhu and Zhou Song to the west wing in turns to inquire for news.

Now He Yuzhu stood in the central hall of the west wing, listening to the loud cry of the baby, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The noise was quite loud and the young master had a loud voice.

The concubine gave birth safely and was able to report the good news to her master.

But he waited and waited, but no one came out.

He Yuzhu's head buzzed and he couldn't help but start to think wildly.

This woman's childbirth was not only dangerous during the birth, but also seemed to be unsafe after the birth.

Fujin she...

Fortunately, by this time, Jueluo had come to her senses and was thinking about announcing the good news. She lifted the curtain and came out, saying to He Yuzhu, "Go and tell Master Jiu the good news. The concubine gave birth to a little prince safely. Both mother and child are safe. The little prince weighs seven and a half kilograms..."

He Yuzhu did not leave immediately, and said: "Madam, if the Ninth Master asks about Fu Jin..."

Jueluo said, "Fujin is fine. She is just a little exhausted and is eating noodle tea with fried dough twist."

He Yuzhu then felt relieved and hurried to the upper room to report.

The delivery room was filled with the smell of blood.

Shushu was completely unaware. This time she was really hungry and her brain was not enough.

Most of what I ate in the morning has been digested.

She ate the noodle soup and fried dough twist, which was sweet and fragrant, and all she could think about was food.

"I want something sweet. I'd like two hot sugar triangles and a steamed egg with sugar..."

Xiaotang listened, took notes carefully, and went downstairs to prepare...
