Zhuo Qihua

Several servants met to enjoy the cool air in the imperial garden.It was hot, but it was cooler in the pavilion.Qi Yiguo and Tong Yifeng are pregnant, and they are even more afraid of the heat.The palace secretary will send ice cubes to the noble masters of Huayang Palace every day to cool down, and the royal concubine will naturally get the most share.The others only thought that it was because they lived in Huayang Palace that they could have ice cubes, but they didn't know that the empress didn't want to reveal that Qi Yiguo and Tong Yifeng were pregnant, so they distributed ice cubes to everyone .

Qi Yiguo and Tong Yifeng are only two months old now, and it's not yet time for the announcement.The two usually pay attention in front of others and do not show signs of pregnancy.Liu Xizhu suddenly sighed with emotion, and Qi Yiguo looked at him: "Why are you sighing?"

Liu Xizhu: "East Eighth Palace is not peaceful these days, look at our West Eighth Palace, I am really glad that I am Brother Lao."

Zuo Cangnan: "There is only one noble concubine sitting in the East Eighth Palace, and some ghosts and monsters will naturally jump around. I just don't know who put the cat in Shi Fangyun's room."

Liu Xizhu: "Who knows. Fortunately, there are rules in the palace, and we usually don't have much contact with people from the East Eighth Palace."

Qi Yiguo and Tong Yifeng didn't interrupt, Tong Yifeng drank honey water, Qi Yiguo ate apples.Liu Xizhu glanced at the two of them and said: "You two drink honey water or clear water every day, don't you have good tea? There is nothing else in my palace, but good tea is enough."

Qi Yiguo glanced at Tong Yifeng and didn't know how to respond. Tong Yifeng put down his cup and said, "I can tell you didn't read the manual when I heard it."

Liu Xizhu: "What manual?"

Tong Yifeng: "If our brother is pregnant, it will not be as obvious as a woman, so we must pay special attention to it. Pregnant people are not allowed to drink tea. Now we have to sleep, and His Majesty also allowed us to conceive. Give birth to a dragon heir. Since you want to give birth to a healthy dragon heir for your majesty, it is better to drink less tea. I am just a gentleman, and I don’t have such a big face. I often call the imperial doctor to check the pulse. Drinking tea and eating cold food every day is not asking for trouble."

Liu Xizhu looked at the others: "What manual? Why haven't I seen it?"

Liu Yimu reminded: "When we were assigned to the side palace, the manual was sent by the emperor's order."

Liu Xizhu remembered.At that time, he was only granted the lowest rank of Baolin, and His Majesty didn't ask him to be the first servant. He was in a bad mood, and he didn't even look at the things sent by the palace.Liu Xizhu didn't watch it, Liu Yimu didn't watch it, and many people present didn't watch it.Liu Xizhu immediately said to the people around him: "Change this tea for me."

He changed, and so did the others.Tong Yifeng: "If you have nothing to do, read the booklet more often. Even if you don't need it yourself, you can tell your family members about it. I think it makes sense."

Liu Xizhu: "Thank you Tong Gui for reminding me, otherwise I really forgot that there is such a booklet."

Qi Yiguo concentrated on eating apples, for fear of being noticed that he was actually pregnant.At this moment, Zuo Silin suddenly said, "Someone is here."

Several people immediately looked out of the pavilion, and saw three or four women dressed as low-ranking concubines walking over surrounded by palace people.Liu Xizhu recognized two of them: "It's Liu Yanling and Jing Lanzhen."

Jing Lanzhen, Jing Lirou, Liu Yanling and Yuan Susu, who also came to relax in the imperial garden, naturally also saw the maid in the pavilion.Concubines and attendants in the palace seldom interact with each other proactively, but if they meet in the imperial garden, they will not part ways.Jing Lanzhen, Liu Yanling, and Yuan Susu were all covering their stomachs with one hand and supporting their waists with the other. Liu Yanling was five months pregnant, so it was normal for her to do so.Both Jing Lanzhen and Yuan Susu have only been around for more than a month, and Liu Xizhu, Zuo Silin and the others looked at them with disdain for such behavior, Qi Yiguo just thought it was funny, lowered his head, and suppressed his smile.

"You guys are enjoying the cool here."

After approaching, Jing Lanzhen spoke out first.Liu Xizhu: "It's too stuffy in the room, come out to get some air." The pavilion was already full, and Jing Lanzhen and the three were pregnant women. Liu Yimu originally wanted to stand up and give up his seat, but Liu Xizhu stared back.

Tong Yifeng got up: "Your lady is inconvenient, Yiguo and I can't stay outside for too long, we two will go back to the palace first."

"We're going back too." The other three Baolin also stood up.

Liu Xizhu: "Then I will go back too."

The maids all wanted to leave, but Jing Lanzhen and the others did not stay.The two sides saluted, the maids left, and after the palace staff cleared the tables, Jing Lanzhen, Jing Lirou, Liu Yanling and Yuan Susu sat down.Jing Lanzhen, Liu Yanling, and Yuan Susu all had a nanny sent by the palace, and the three of them were extremely depressed now, so they would rather go out for a walk in such a hot day than stay indoors and be caught by others. Monitor all the time.Yu Xi Tuan Dui

Jing Lanzhen said to the mother beside her, "Mother Wang, we four sisters have something to say about ourselves, so why don't you go and rest?"

Wang Momo glanced at Jing Lanzhen, and left the gazebo silently, but her eyes were still on this side.As soon as Nanny Wang retreated, the nanny next to the other two also retreated, but they also paid attention to this side.Jing Lanzhen breathed out, and said in a low voice, "That idiot Shi Fangyun! If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be watched like criminals!"

Liu Yanling also sighed: "Isn't that right. Since I was pregnant, I have been in a good mood. Since this nanny came, I can't sleep well at night. Shi Fangyun and I are in Yuxian Palace. We usually do nothing but greet the imperial concubine and empress. , the imperial concubine never instructs us to do anything, we are still at ease in the palace. Shi Fangyun said that she heard strange noises, and she and I live in the west side hall, and I have never heard of them. We are all little Gentlemen, do you think that the imperial concubine will have trouble with a nobleman? This is good, but I am the most suspicious."

Jing Lanzhen said sarcastically: "Shi Fangyun is the most beautiful and docile among us. She is naturally more delicate. She has gone to Shoukang Palace now, and she is in front of the Queen Mother every day. We can't compare to her."

Yuan Susu whispered: "I didn't see how much His Majesty dotes on her. In this palace, she is not the only one who is pregnant."

Jing Lanzhen: "Yes, she is not the only one who is pregnant, why is she the only one who was thrown away by the dead cat?"

Liu Yanling laughed suddenly, the other three looked at her, Jing Lanzhen asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Liu Yanling: "I'm laughing, some people still want to compete with the one from Xiangfu Palace, but in the end..."

The three of them followed Liu Yanling and laughed in a low voice.

■

The tenth day of the seventh lunar month is the birthday of Emperor Jiahuang and his concubine, so there is not much to do in the palace.All the wives and all the people in the harem presented gifts to the concubine, and at night there was a banquet in the palace.In the early morning of the eleventh day of the Lunar New Year, Zhuo Ji asked Wang Bao and Yuan Xiu to deliver the birthday present he had prepared for Huang Guixie.Zhuo Ji must not show his face today either.He didn't show up on Emperor Yong'an's Tianshou Festival. If he came today, let alone how others would discuss it, a certain emperor who sometimes has small stomachs would definitely have trouble with him.

The gift from Zhuo Ji made the empress's eyes turn red.There are two gifts from Zhuo Ji, one is a majestic and solemn oil painting portrait of the empress wearing a formal gown and sitting on a chair.The other is a half-length quill portrait of Qin Wang Nan Rongchen.Huang Guixie put away his son's portrait, and asked the palace people to hang his one-person oil painting in his study.If he knew that the portrait Zhuo Ji gave him was originally his portrait on the day of the canonization ceremony, but the emperor cut off his beard, he would probably run to Fengtian Palace and bite the emperor a few mouthfuls.

On Huang Guixie's birthday, Danyang Palace was quite lively.The imperial concubine received the gifts from the married woman and the people in the harem at Wangyue Pavilion in the imperial garden.De Guixie was about to give birth, but she didn't come.Zhuo Ji didn't come either, everyone else came.In Xiangfu Palace, Zhuo Ji was busy with Deguixie's upcoming delivery. He even told Emperor Yong'an not to come to Xiangfu Palace before Deguixie gave birth.When a woman gives birth, one foot enters the gate of hell. Zhuo Ji is the first to meet Brother Lao who is about to give birth. He has to do all the preparations he can.

After the glass was made, Zhuo Ji asked the Ministry of Industry to make him many glass containers, as well as a dozen different types of syringes and hundreds of needles, large and small.Let's not mention how depressed Shi Yu is, at least before Deguixie gives birth, there is a syringe.Rubber medical gloves, yes.There are needles.Surgical tools, yes.Stethoscope, done.Zhuo Ji also tried his best for the needed medicine.What Zhuo Ji is doing now is to extract the anesthetic ingredients in Datura flowers.Of course, it is best for Degui Xie to have a smooth delivery. Zhuo Ji made all the preparations to prevent Degui Xie from having a cesarean section.

In the apocalyptic world when everything collapsed, a person with brain abilities like Zhuo Ji with a medical background should be able to invent vaccines, deliver babies, make toilet paper, and farm.In the previous life, because Zhuo Ji was a person with brain powers, he was entitled to have access to all kinds of books and materials that were rescued. To some extent, people with brain powers had the role of a backup computer.There are many things that Zhuo Ji in this life has forgotten, but the knowledge still in his brain is enough for him to change the world.

Deguixie walked slowly in the room holding Fuquan's hand.His body was swollen, and his feet were so swollen that he could only wear slippers.Without calcium tablets, Zhuo Ji asked De Guixie to drink a certain amount of goat milk every day.At this time, not to mention the Central Plains, even the nomads with the most dairy products have no cows, only goat milk and mare milk.Deguixie strictly followed Zhuo Ji's requirements for diet and childcare throughout his pregnancy, and he had leg cramps for the first time since last night.When Chen Mu was pregnant, he had leg cramps every day since the second trimester.Deguixie was terrified at the first delivery.This time, because of Zhuo Ji's presence, Degui Xie can only look forward to the birth of the child he has been looking forward to for a long time.

The gate of Xiangfu Palace was closed, and Emperor Yong'an knew that Zhuo Ji was trying to keep people from disturbing him.Emperor Yong'an didn't invite anyone to sleep with him after Huang Guixie's birthday.He only stayed in Huayang Palace and Yuxian Palace for two nights each, and he just chatted with the imperial concubine and concubine Xi.Wen Mu and Nanny are all in their positions, and the medical staff of the Imperial Medical Office are already in place, just waiting for the news from Yunyue Palace.

On July [-]th, there was no news from Yunyue Palace, and the gate of Xiangfu Palace was still closed.Emperor Yong'an was the first to be unable to sit still.He asked Zhang Xian to go to Xiangfu Palace to find out what Zhuo Ji was up to.Zhang Xian came back after leaving for a long time. When he came back, he held a box in his hand and said, "Long live, by the way, I said that he is preparing an anesthetic. This is what I asked my servant to give to you, Long live."

Emperor Yong'an opened the lid of the box, and sure enough, there were several white papers with words written on it.Emperor Yong'an took it out and unfolded it for a look, his brows were filled with joy.After probably browsing, Emperor Yong'an refolded the paper and put it back in the box, and said to Zhang Xian, "I received it from Qinwen Palace, put it away."

"Yes."

What Zhuo Ji gave to Emperor Yong'an was his method of using mandala flowers to prepare anesthetics.This time, Emperor Yong'an did not intend to hand it over to the Imperial Medical Office.Anesthetics are too important for wounded soldiers on the battlefield. Emperor Yong'an needs to think about who is more appropriate to give them to.While considering suitable candidates, Feng Xi hurried in from the outside with a flustered expression on his face.

"Your Majesty! My lady has a stomachache!"

Emperor Yong'an Huo De stood up: "Go and invite Shunxi!"

"Go! People here say it's just the initial labor pains, and the birth is not so fast, Your Majesty doesn't need to go there first."

"I'm still going to take a look."

Emperor Yong'an left the throne and walked around the imperial case, Zhang Xian and Feng Xi hurriedly followed after seeing this.

De Guixie finally started.The pain in his stomach told him that the baby was coming out.After getting the news, Zhuo Ji cleaned up and took Chang Jing, Xiao Hui, Wang Bao and Aunt Hua to go, followed by the palace servants of Xiangfu Palace holding wooden boxes of various sizes in their hands.Zhuo Ji's hair was tied up in a bun.When he came to Yunyue Palace, Emperor Yong'an had already arrived.Not only did Emperor Yong'an arrive, but also Concubine Jia Guixie, Mingxie, and Concubine Xi.The maids who lived in the side palace of Yunyue Palace also came, as well as the imperial physician Ling Wei Yingshi and an imperial physician in charge of obstetrics.Zhuo Ji was the last one to arrive because he had to prepare for his coming.

Seeing him, the maids in the side palace greeted him, Zhuo Ji just nodded to them hastily, and went directly past the emperor, Huang Guixie, Mingyu and Xiguifei into Deguixie's bedroom, where Emperor Yong'an stood He got up and sat back down, Concubine Xi followed behind.Huang Guixie and Mingxie are both pregnant, so it is inconvenient to follow.Seeing Zhuo Ji's rebellious attitude towards the emperor, Huang Guixie and others, the maids all looked sideways.

Wen Miao, Degui's mother, brother's pediatrician, and Degui's personal servants are all by Degui's side.Seeing Zhuo Ji coming in, De Guixie's face clearly showed peace of mind.

As soon as Zhuo Ji came in, he asked, "Is it just labor pain or is the amniotic fluid broken?"

Wen Luo replied: "It's just a labor pain now, it may last for several hours, or it may be a day or two."

Zhuo Ji sat down beside the bed, and Fu Quan immediately gave him a wrist pillow.Zhuo Ji checked Deguixie's pulse, touched his stomach, and said to Deguixie: "Hey, put on your production clothes, I'll give you a massage, and you can eat something, if you have the strength , just get up and walk around, so that the baby will come out sooner. Your bosom is very good, and there will be no problem in giving birth smoothly."

"Okay, I listen to you."

Concubine Xi went out very consciously, because Mrs. Degui wanted to change clothes.Zhuo Ji asked everyone to go out first, leaving only Fu Quan.He asked De Guixie to take off all his clothes and put on only a robe-like production uniform.Afterwards, Fuquan brought honey water, and Deguixie drank two cups. Zhuo Ji personally gave Deguixie a professional labor induction massage.The frequency of Deguixie's stomach pains began to increase, Zhuoji let him eat something, and then helped him up with Fuquan.

After telling Fuquan, the doctor, and Wenmu how to help Deguixie go, and what to pay attention to during this period, Zhuo Ji left, and he was going to the delivery room to prepare.At Zhuo Ji's request, De Guixie specially transformed a side room of the main palace of Yunyue Palace into a delivery room.As soon as Zhuo Ji came out, Emperor Yong'an asked, "How long will it take to give birth?"

Zhuo Ji: "I don't know yet, Your Majesty should go back to Fengtian Hall and wait for the news, it won't be that fast."

Emperor Yong'an: "Alright." He came here just to see Zhuo Ji.

Emperor Yong'an went back first, and the others went back first to wait for the news.

In the delivery room, Zhuo Ji took Xiaohui, Chang Jing, Aunt Hua and Wang Bao to disinfect the delivery room.The delivery bed is covered with sterile light blue sheets.After the delivery room was sterilized, several people took out the contents of the box again. Xiaohui and Aunt Hua put on the same sterilized medical gloves made of natural rubber by Zhuo Ji and wrapped them in the same sterilized cloth bag. All the surgical tools were taken out and put into a glass dish filled with alcohol.Throughout the delivery room, Zhuo Ji tried her best to meet the most basic delivery room requirements.With all the tools and medicines he currently has, a caesarean section is unrealistic. Fortunately, De Guixie's pregnancy is very good, and he has given birth once, so there is no accident, and the probability of a smooth delivery is very high.Of course, nothing is absolute. If it really comes to the point where a caesarean section is necessary, you must prepare for the worst.

After getting ready, Zhuo Ji went to De Guixie's place again.After staying with Deguixie for more than three hours, the sun started to set, and Deguixie's water broke.When Emperor Yong'an and others came to Yunyue Palace again, Degui Xie had already been sent to the delivery room, Chang Jing, Xiao Hui, Wang Bao, and Aunt Hua were all outside, only Zhuo Ji, Wen Miao, midwife, and brother Xie Physicians, blessings are here.A group of Emperor Yong'an were waiting outside the delivery room, and the Empress Dowager also came over.The child in Deguixie's womb has different meanings not only to him, but also to Emperor Yong'an and the Queen Mother.

Deguixie's cry of pain came out, Huangguixie gave birth once and it was okay, but Mingyu and other maids who were pregnant for the first time all turned pale when they heard it.Huang Guixie glanced at Mingyu and said, "Stop listening here."

Ming Xun shook his head and said stubbornly: "The waiter has to wait."

In the delivery room, Deguixie was lying on a special delivery bed with his upper body half lying down. This position was very convenient for him to use his strength.The nanny who had been trained in midwifery at Zhuo Ji for two months, and the nurse and doctor who were asked to disinfect by Zhuo Ji, changed into surgical gowns, wrapped headscarves, and masks, delivered the birth together.It was the first time Wen Luo and the doctor were asked to do so, and they were really flustered.But seeing that all the people in the house were dressed like this except for your concubine, they didn't dare to refuse.

Zhuo Ji is not in charge of delivery, he is in charge of overall control.De Guixie breathed and exerted strength according to the midwife's request, and Fuquan completely played the role of being captured by Guixie to vent his anger.

"Why don't you call for hot water to come in?"

It's been a stick of incense, and I only hear De Guixie calling, but I don't see people calling inside to bring hot water and white cloth. The Queen Mother is worried, can Shunxi deliver the baby?De Guixie's mother was also very worried, but she couldn't say anything on this occasion and this kind of place.

Emperor Yong'an: "Don't worry, Queen Mother. Shunxi has been busy for a long time for your concubine to give birth smoothly. With him inside, it's fine. It's not called sending hot water in, and it definitely doesn't need it."

The queen mother clasped her hands together: "Bless the ancestors, bless the Bodhisattva, and bless Deguixie's birth smoothly and safely."
