1128: The Return of an Old Friend (36)

The Return of an Old Friend (36)

Seeing this, Luo Tan said, "Your body must be stiff from sitting for too long. Let me help you massage it. If your legs are numb, it will be difficult for you to walk."1

"No." Shen Miao forced herself to calm down and said, "Get a midwife over first."

Nanny Tao and Luo Tan were stunned at first. Nanny Tao came back to her senses and immediately shouted, "Quick! Hurry up and invite the two midwives over!"

…

These two were the best midwives in Yong Le. No matter how difficult the labor was, they had never failed. In order to be safe, Nanny Tao found two midwives long ago.

Old Madam Li said, "Princess Consort, don't be nervous. It's natural for women to be afraid the first time they give birth. After the first time, they won't be so afraid in the future."

Old Madam Liu was a little older than Old Madam Li. She looked at Shen Miao and said curiously, "But Princess Consort is quite calm. I've helped many women give birth, but this is the first time I've seen someone so calm."

Shen Miao was helped to lie on the bed. Her expression was calm, as if she did not take this matter to heart. From the beginning to the end, she did not look frightened, making people think that this was not the first time she had given birth.

Shen Miao knew very well that she was not as calm as she looked on the surface. Her memories of giving birth went back a long time. At that time, she spent ten months of her pregnancy without receiving any concerns from Fu Xiuyi.

Now, this child came to the world with everyone's expectations. Be it Xie Jingxing, herself, Empress Xiande, Emperor Yong Le, or the entire Shen family, they all treasured this child very much. The more precious something was, the more people were afraid of losing it.

Shen Miao forced herself to take a deep breath, shook the messy thoughts in her mind, and focused on delivering the child.

"Princess Consort, get up and eat something first." Old Madam Li picked up the brown sugar egg and brought it to Shen Miao. "You'll only have strength after eating something. It will take some time to give birth."

Shen Miao took it. She actually did not have much of an appetite, but she still ate it.

Old Madam Liu praised, "In the past, the young wives I helped deliver the child were all temperamental. If they were from rich families, they would be even more so. They refused to eat anything, saying that they were not feeling well. Later, when they lost the strength to give birth, they would be one suffering. Princess Consort, on the other hand, is very sensible. In this way, the childbirth will definitely go smoothly."

Shen Miao knew that the two of them were talking to distract her so that time could pass faster. After all, the childbirth had not started yet.

Outside, Nanny Tao and the others were waiting. Luo Tan said, "My heart is beating so fast. I wonder if Little Cousin will give birth to a boy or a girl. After being curious for so long, I'm finally going to get an answer."

"No matter if it's the young heir or the young princess, Prince Rui will be very happy when he comes back." Nanny Tao smiled and said, "I wonder how long we have to wait until he comes back."

Eunuch Deng also looked a little nervous. "We're finally going to welcome the arrival of the first junior of the royal family. Empress Xiande, Emperor Yong Le, and the empress dowager will be happy to see this in heaven."
