Rebirth: From being expelled from the imperial court to becoming a high-ranking official

It’s mid-September in a blink of an eye.

A midwife had already been invited, and the doctor came to check Yu Ru's pulse several times, and said that Yu Ru was in good health and there should be no problems with the delivery.

The sheep were ready, the red basins were ready, and the blankets, clothes and all the food were ready.

Mrs. Xie knew that Yu Ru was about to give birth, so she didn't let Ming Yue come to play with Ru Yi these days.

Ruyi suddenly felt bored because she had no playmate. One day, she was playing with some seals of Qin Yunhe in the study when Chier ran in.

"Miss, Madam asked me to take you to Madam Li."

Ruyi put down the chapter: "Is mother going to give birth to a younger brother?"

This had been agreed upon beforehand. During the delivery, Qin would help look after Ruyi to avoid any confusion.

"Yes, Madam is about to give birth, Miss, let's go over there quickly."

Ruyi followed Chi'er out and saw the midwife walking into the house while Cun'er was hurriedly walking out.

"Sister Cun'er, Chi'er and I are going to Aunt Tan's place. Please tell my mother."

"Oh, well, go ahead, miss."

While Chi'er was taking Ruyi out, Cun'er hurried to the front to report to Qin Yunhe.

Cun'er was also a girl. This was her first time to give birth. She hurried to the front yamen and shouted before she even entered the door: "Sir, sir, the lady is about to give birth."

In the past few days, the due date is approaching, and Qin Yunhe has been waiting nervously.

In fact, Qin Yunhe was not that nervous when Yu Ru gave birth to Ruyi.

At that time, except for the strong reaction in the early stage, Yu Ru's childbirth went smoothly and was not difficult. Besides, he didn't understand the dangers of childbirth for women at that time, so he didn't worry too much.

Later, as I grew older, I inevitably heard about women having difficult childbirth, and only then did I realize how difficult childbirth is.

This was not Yu Ru's first childbirth, but the heaviness of the twins' belly, coupled with the fact that Yu Ru had been experiencing a lot of discomfort as the month progressed, made him even more uneasy.

In particular, he asked the midwife, who said that twins would often go into labor prematurely. He became more worried and invited the midwife to the yamen early to be on standby.

But as the second half of the month was approaching, Yu Ru showed no signs of giving birth, and Qin Yunhe couldn't help but feel anxious.

At this time, I was reviewing a case in the study room in the second hall. Suddenly, I heard Cun'er calling out. My heart tightened and I quickly stood up.

"Has the midwife come?"

"The midwife has already gone in. I'll go ask Madam Liu to come over later."

Originally, in addition to the midwife, a pregnant woman would also need a familiar woman, such as the mother-in-law or sister-in-law, to assist in childbirth.

But they were here, and Qin's mother and several sisters-in-law were not here. However, Liu Dianshi's wife was somewhat familiar with Yuru, and she had said before that she would come to assist in the birth.

"Okay, go and invite Madam Liu first. After that, go and wait for Master Li San."

After Qin Yunhe gave the instructions, he hurried to the inner court.

In the inner court, Yu Ru was still sitting on the bed. She was walking in the courtyard just now when her water broke. Now she didn't feel like giving birth.

The red basin, towel, hot water, etc. are ready.

The midwife was quite experienced. Seeing Yu Ru's condition, she knew that she couldn't give birth for the time being. She was not in a hurry and just sat aside and talked to Yu Ru.

"Did your first birth go smoothly, Madam?"

Yuru nodded: "When my Ruyi was born, it was relatively smooth and not too troublesome."

The midwife smiled and said, "Young lady loves mother and can't bear to let Madam suffer."

Yuru also laughed.

The midwife added: "Madam, don't worry. This is not your first child, so it probably won't be too difficult. Just relax..."

As the two were talking, Qin Yunhe came in. As soon as he came in, he saw Yu Ru still sitting on the bed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

When Yu Ru saw him come in, she said, "Why are you back? Go back quickly, the baby will be born soon."

"I came back to see you when you were about to give birth. How are you feeling now?"

"I'm fine. You may have to wait a while. Go do something ahead. It won't be convenient for you to be there during the birth."

"Then I'll go out later. Aren't you still giving birth now?"

Yu Ru smiled and pushed him: "I'm fine, you go out first. It's not a day off today, you should get busy."

As the two were talking, Liu Dianshi's wife came in from outside and saw Qin Yunhe as soon as she came in.

"Oh, why is your Excellency still here? Your Excellency, please go out quickly. If you are worried, just wait outside. It is not convenient for you to stay here."

He could still talk to Yu Ru for a while before going out, but now that Liu Dianshi's wife had come, he couldn't insist.

"Then I'll leave it to Sister Liu. I'm outside, call me if you need anything."

Madam Liu said unhappily, "What could possibly happen? Make sure everything goes smoothly. My Lord, please go out and wait."

After Qin Yunhe left, Madam Liu said to Yuru, "My Lord is really sympathetic to Madam."

Yu Ru also laughed: "This time I have twins. My waist and legs have been aching badly in the past two months, so he is particularly worried."

After they talked for a while, Yu Ru began to feel pain.

"Sister Liu, I think it might be time to start."

Madam Liu and the midwife quickly helped Yu Ru change her clothes and helped her sit on the red basin.

Yu Ru took a deep breath and exhaled slowly to calm herself down. Suddenly, she felt another pain and leaned back in pain.

Madam Liu supported her from behind: "It's okay, it's okay, take it easy."

The midwife also said, "Don't worry, Madam. Take your time. It will take a while."

Yu Ru probably knew that it would take some time before she gave birth, so she calmed herself down and tried her best to endure the cramps in her abdomen.

She knew she couldn't shout at this moment, otherwise she would not have the strength to give birth.

Seeing her like this, the midwife knew that Yu Ru had some experience, so she felt relieved.

"Madam, please be patient. I think everything will go smoothly and it won't take long."

Qin Yunhe was driven out and sat down on a stone bench in the yard.

But there was no sound in the room, and he didn't know what was going on, and he felt a little uneasy.

I don’t know how long I waited before I heard Yu Ru’s suppressed moans coming from inside.

Qin Yunhe suddenly became even more restless and just walked back and forth in the yard.

Yu Ru's voice gradually became uncontrollable and came out intermittently.

The midwife's voice came out again: "Madam, it's about to come out, you can use more force now."

Unexpectedly, Yu Ru's moans in the room suddenly stopped. Qin Yunhe, who was outside, didn't know what was going on. He just leaned against the window anxiously, wanting to listen to what was going on.

After a few breaths, Yu Ru suddenly cried out in pain, and Qin Yunhe's heart tightened.

There was a pause in the room, and then the midwife's surprised voice said, "It's out, it's a little boy, congratulations, Madam."

"Hurry up and wipe it..."

"Madam, please take a rest..."

Then the sound of a baby crying was heard.

Then there were the sounds of footsteps, talking, and cleaning up.

Qin Yunhe breathed a sigh of relief, stood by the window and asked, "Yuru, are you okay?"

Yu Ru didn't have the energy to reply to him at this moment.

Madam Liu heard Qin Yunhe's voice near the window and hurriedly said, "Why are you here, sir? Stand away. Madam is fine. She gave birth to a little boy."

Qin Yunhe felt relieved and stood back, then told the maid waiting in the courtyard: "Prepare the red ribbon, and hang it up after the lady gives birth."

After a while, there was a commotion in the room again, and a baby cried again.

"Congratulations, ma'am, congratulations, sir, it's another little boy."

Qin Yunhe quickly ordered: "Pick the red one."
