Chapter 508 Safe Birth

Princess Jing nodded slowly: "You are right."

"Originally I thought it would be nice to have more children. In the future, the house would be lively and the children would have company." Xuanyuan Qi turned his head and looked at the door, frowning, "But giving birth is too painful. I don't want Hongyi to suffer so much."

Princess Jing was silent.

As the mistress of the palace, she probably couldn't understand her son's thoughts. Even if she felt sorry for his wife, she didn't feel so sorry for her. Getting married and having children are two things that women must go through in their lives. Every family has gone through this. Is it necessary to be so hypocritical?

It's not that she doesn't feel sorry for other women.

It's because she herself is also a woman, and she lives in a powerful family. Over the years, she has seen the humble attitude of the wives who are usually glorious and prominent in giving birth. If she can give her husband a legitimate son, she can stand up straight. If she gives birth to a daughter, she will feel ashamed in front of everyone, and she is also worried that she will lose favor and affect her status.

No one has ever talked about the pain that women go through when giving birth. In their opinion, as long as they can give birth to a son, all the pain is nothing.

Even women themselves don't feel sorry for themselves, so how can they expect men who only care about their careers to feel sorry for them?

This is the first time that Princess Jing has seen a man lose control because of his wife's childbirth, and this man is her son...

"Princess, the prince." Nanny Ji opened the door and came out, "The young lady seems to be giving birth."

Xuanyuan Qi was anxious and subconsciously rushed in.

"The prince can't go in!"

Bang!

As soon as the voice fell, Nanny Ji raised her hand to close the door and held it tightly with her body, fearing that the prince would really break in without knowing the truth.

Xuanyuan Qi's nose was almost flattened.

There were a few subtle suppressed moans coming from the room, and Xuanyuan Qi's heart was twisted. He wanted to rush in and hold the little ancestor in his arms, but...

"I'll go in and take a look." Princess Jing stretched out her hand and pulled her son aside, "It should be soon, don't worry."

As she said that, Princess Jing stretched out her hand and knocked on the door: "It's me."

When Nanny Ji heard the princess' voice, she exhaled softly and opened the door from the inside.

In the inner room, the midwives were encouraging one after another: "Young Madam, try harder, the young master will come out soon."

"I can see the head."

"Try harder."

"Cui'er, hand me the scissors!"

"Hot water!"

"Young Madam, take a breath, try harder!"

"It's coming out!"

"Wow——"

Accompanied by a shocking cry, Chu Hongyi gave birth to a son safely at the hour of You.

Xuanyuan Qi staggered, held the wall to stand firm, and was sweating all over.

Raising his hand to wipe his forehead, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the inner room. The midwives were all around the newborn baby, eager to see whether the child was a boy or a girl.

It was a boy.

The midwife Zheng was also the queen's personal midwife before. She had delivered the queen in the palace, the little prince in the palace, and a little master in the Jingwang Mansion. She felt that this must be a blessing from God.

The noble family must be happier to have a son than a daughter. She delivered a son twice in a row. At this time, she was so happy that her old eyes narrowed: "Congratulations, prince, congratulations, it's a young master."

The Princess of Jing smiled and said, "Hold him for me."

"Princess, wait a moment, wait until the servant has washed the little master's body before holding him."

The Princess of Jing stood aside, watching the midwives wash the newborn with warm water, and she couldn't hide her smile.

The room was filled with a strong smell of blood.

It was summer again, the windows were not open, and the inner room was as hot as a steamer.

Xuanyuan Qi stood in front of the bed, looking at Chu Hongyi with a distressed look on her pale face.

Her messy hair was spread on the pillow, her pale forehead was dripping with sweat, and her lips were dry and peeling.

He had never seen such a weak little ancestor, even if she had suffered hardships in martial arts training before, even if she had been injured before, she had never been so weak and pale.

"Hongyi." Xuanyuan Qi squatted down and held her hand tightly, "Thank you for your hard work."

Chu Hongyi looked at him quietly, her voice hoarse and dry: "I feel fine."

Xuanyuan Qi paused, fine?

How fine?

Obviously so weak.

But he knew she was a strong person, so he followed her words and said: "Well, my wife is the best."

The midwives washed the little guy, wrapped him in a soft and thin silk swaddling cloth, and brought him to Princess Jing.

"Go and claim your reward." Princess Jing ordered calmly, then turned to look at Hongyi, "I asked the kitchen to stew some fish soup for you, you eat first."

"Thank you, mother." Chu Hongyi said, "But I'm not hungry yet, I want to sleep first and eat tomorrow morning."

Princess Jing looked at the sky outside, it was already late at night, it was not good to eat at this time.

It's just that Chu Hongyi is weak after giving birth, and needs to replenish some vitality.

"Young Madam has just given birth, it's not good to eat at this time." The nanny reported, "Since Young Madam is not hungry, Princess, don't force her, let Young Madam sleep for two hours, and eat after dawn. It's best to drink some millet porridge in the morning, and then start eating some nutritious food at noon tomorrow."

Princess Jing heard this and nodded slowly: "Okay."

The news that Chu Hongyi gave birth safely soon spread to the palace.

Her Majesty and the Regent had just finished a hearty exercise, and Nan Xi was naturally happy when she heard the palace people report: "It's good to be safe."

"My son has a playmate now." Rong Yu lowered his head and pecked Nan Xi on the face, "They are a couple who know how to behave."

Nan Xi heard this and gave him a subtle look.

Know how to behave?

This really doesn't sound like what the regent would say.

However, Nan Xi's idea was quickly slapped in the face. Rong Yu never cared about face in front of her: "We will leave Dongling in September, and we can let Chu Hongyi move into the palace temporarily."

Nan Xi was stunned: "Let Chu Hongyi move into the palace?"

What's the logic?

"Her son will be more than two months old in September, and she can move in with Hao'er." Rong Yu made a wishful calculation, "Mother-in-law will take care of Hao'er, and Chu Hongyi will take care of her son. She is a strong martial artist, so she can take care of the two children together and fulfill her responsibility to protect them."

Nan Xi was completely speechless.

She felt that Rong Yu's idea was really...

Rong Yu lay on his side beside her, holding his chin and asked, "Xi'er, do you think this is bad?"

"Xuanyuan Qi will hate you to death."

The young couple got married not long ago, and it was the time of deep love. If Chu Hongyi wanted to enter the palace, it would mean that Xuanyuan Qi would have to stay alone in the empty room for a while. It would be strange if he didn't hate him.

"He dare not." Rong Yu smiled lightly, "Don't forget who holds the fate of his son."

Nan Xi was speechless for a moment.
