Chapter 221 A Safe Birth
The pain of childbirth is dozens of times more painful than the pain of injury.

Li Shishi was lying on the bed, clutching the bed curtain in pain, sweating profusely.

Although she and Aunt Wu had given birth to others before, but when this matter happened to her, Li Shishi realized deeply that this is really not something people do.

Gongsun Qing was kept outside the house, saying that a woman gave birth and her husband could not get close to her, fearing that she might be contaminated with unclean things.

But Wen Po's anxious voice and the state of people coming and going in and out of the house made Gongsun Qing unable to bear the anxiety in his heart anymore, and rushed into the house to accompany her no matter what.

He had just opened the door curtain, and was bumping into the servant girl from Duan Shui.

Seeing this, the servant girl hurriedly stopped Gongsun Qing's footsteps and said, "My lord, you should avoid it for a while, the unclean delivery room may cause my lord to be infected with something that shouldn't be."

Gongsun Qing raised his eyes and took a look into the room, seeing a group of people surrounding the bed, he was even more anxious.

He opened the curtain and said: "I don't believe it, this birth is a happy event, and there can be something unclean!"

"My lord!" Seeing this, the servant girl was about to step forward to stop her, but was pushed away by Gongsun Qing, and walked straight to the bed.

Seeing the prince coming in, the midwife was about to speak, but was interrupted by him: "Busy about what you should be busy with, don't worry about what this prince is doing!"

After saying this, he walked up to Li Shishi, and seeing the person lying on the bed sweating profusely, with an extremely painful expression on his face, his heart ached so hard to attach.

Sitting on the side of the bed, Gongsun Qing held her hand and comforted her: "I'm here, don't be afraid."

"My lord..." Li Shishi's whole body was already drenched, her hair was sticking to her face, and the sweat dripped down her cheeks onto the pillow.

Obviously, this body has already given birth to two babies, but for some reason, this time the childbirth can be so painful.

"Ma'am, use your strength!"

"Uh——" Li Shishi firmly held Gongsun Qing's hand, and exerted all her strength on her abdomen.

"Ma'am, your head is already showing, it's almost time. Ma'am is working hard!"

Li Shishi doesn't know what night it is at this moment, and the pain of childbirth has already replaced all reason.

She could only listen to Wenpo's command and exert all her strength.

Gongsun Qing was distressed and anxious, the only thing he could do was hold Li Shishi's hand, hoping to get her out of the pain as soon as possible.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Shishi's eyes widened suddenly, and she lifted up abruptly, holding Gongsun Qing's hand, her knuckles turning white.

The expression on her face became more and more painful. After exhausting her last bit of strength, she finally fell back on the bed exhausted.

Not long after, a loud cry of a baby pierced the anxious atmosphere in the room.

Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

Holding a bloody baby in her arms, Wen Po gently wiped his body with a soft cloth, and congratulated Gongsun: "Congratulations, you are a son."

It's just that Gongsun Qing was not in the mood to watch at all, took the handkerchief handed over by the maid, and gently wiped the sweat off Li Shishi's forehead.

Seeing that the person was still unconscious, he asked worriedly, "How is Madam?"

Wen Po wrapped the child in a soft quilt, and the maid on the side took it over.

Then she quickly checked Li Shishi's situation, and seeing that he was just sleepy from exhaustion, she also breathed a sigh of relief and said to Gongsun Qing: "My lord, Ma'am, she is fine, she just fell asleep from exhaustion. I have already ordered people to prepare ginseng soup." After a while, Madam wakes up and drinks it."

Gongsun Qing was slightly relieved when he heard this, and gently brushed away the sticky hair on Li Shishi's face.

The distress in the eyes is beyond words.

"My lord, do you want to see the young master?"

Gongsun Qing hadn't recovered from the situation just now. He just shook his head when he heard what Wen Po said, "Don't watch it now. I will watch it with Madam when she wakes up. It's only after such a long time of torture that Gongsun Qing just shook his head. The next child, she should always be the first person to see him."

Then he got up and took a few steps back, and ordered: "Take good care of Madam."

After speaking, he turned and left the bedroom.

Not long after he walked out of the dormitory, Gongsun Qing suddenly stopped and looked back at the red curtain hanging in front of the dormitory door, his eyes turned red.

Li Shishi had told him before that if the child was born, she hoped that she could be with her.

Now seeing how difficult Li Shishi's childbirth was and how she tried her best to escape from death, he suddenly understood what a mother is.

After entering the ancestral hall, Gongsun Qing knelt in front of his mother's tablet, tears streaming down his face.

He kowtowed heavily, looked at his mother's tablet, and said slowly: "Mother, now that our Gongsun family has successors, my son finally understands your hard work and difficulty."

"My lord, Madam is awake." Qing Yan stood at the door and saluted respectfully.

When Gongsun Qing heard the voice, he quickly wiped his tears with his sleeve, got up and walked to the bedroom.

Although the boy was born safely, although he was a few days earlier than the due date, he is very healthy.

The cry was loud, and the appearance took on the respective advantages of Li Shishi and Gongsun Qing.

Gongsun Qing hugged the child and sat on the bedside for Li Shishi to watch.

Wanran and Wanmiao hurried over after knowing that their mother had given birth.

The two daughters lay on the bed and stared at the little brother in Gongsun Qing's arms with big eyes.

"Look, this child looks like you." Gongsun Qing said while bringing the child closer to Li Shishi.

Li Shishi glanced at it, then smiled: "The child hasn't even opened his eyes yet, how do you know he looks like me?"

"Anyway, he's just like you, a smart kid like you."

Li Shishi smiled, reached out and touched the child's small face lightly.

Wanran blinked her big eyes and stared straight at: "Little brother, can you play with me in the future?"

"of course."

Several people were talking in the room, but they heard the voice of the housekeeper from outside the door: "My lord, Eunuch Zheng came to announce the decree, saying that he is to come to the palace immediately."

The lively atmosphere in the dormitory stopped suddenly because of this sentence.

Gongsun Qing raised his head and glanced at Li Shishi.

Li Shishi smiled at him: "Go, I'm fine."

Gongsun Qing hesitated again and again, finally nodded and said: "Okay, I will come back as soon as possible."

"Row."

After handing the child to Li Shishi, Gongsun Qing looked at it for a long time, told Li Shishi to rest well, and then turned and walked out of the bedroom.

Eunuch Zheng, who came to announce the decree, is drinking tea in the main hall at the moment.

After Gongsun Qing changed his clothes, he rushed to the main hall. After the two met, they exchanged a few pleasantries.

Eunuch Zheng glanced around and saw no one around, then leaned over to Gongsun Qing and said, "My lord, the reason for entering the palace this time is likely to be due to the frost disaster. You have a plan in mind."

Gongsun Qing knew what he was talking about, so he just nodded and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Zheng, for your suggestion. This king has already made preparations."

Eunuch Zheng glanced at Gongsun Qing thoughtfully, then shook his head and said, "Okay, then hurry up and enter the palace, Your Majesty is waiting for you."
