Chapter 148 Children
In mid-June, Gu Ruzhen's fetus had passed Xue Yin's predicted delivery period by more than ten days.

Whenever Xue Yin came to check his pulse, he would wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Everything about this child is normal, and it can even be said to be very healthy, but the current situation is that she refuses to come out here.

Gu Ruzhen felt worried at first, but after she accidentally saw the shape of a bulging abdomen, which looked like a hand, she touched it lightly, and felt her whole heart settle down after feeling a response.

Several times, Emperor Tianqin looked at Xue Yin's dissatisfaction, but it was Gu Ruzhen who comforted him.

Cheng was anxious, and hurriedly delivered letters to the Lin family and the Gu family, asking the two families to prepare the offerings for the gods in the next few days, and they must be able to arrange them at any time.

But she didn't express her anxiety. After all, this young couple is the first time to be a mother and a father. Their respective parents can't give them any help. She is the only female elder in Shengning Palace at the moment, so Cheng thought about it. Think, and a few words of comfort.

"When I gave birth to your third uncle, he was too late for more than half a month and refused to come out. You see, he is not as cunning...smart now."

Cheng endured it, and finally swallowed the word cunning.

Her third son is just as old as a generation, and he can no longer be simply described as smart.

Gu Ruzhen smiled, and before she could speak, she felt a tightness in her abdomen and a faint pain.

"What?" Emperor Tian Qin hurriedly looked at her with concern.

Gu Ruzhen shook her head, "It doesn't matter."

Because this kind of pain would come from time to time in the past few days, and the imperial doctor's pulse diagnosis was nothing, so she didn't take it to heart, and just regarded it as the same as the previous few days.

She felt a little thirsty, so she took a cup of warm water to drink.

After taking two sips, she frowned again.

Even in the next moment, the cup in her hand fell to the ground, she hugged her stomach, and yelled, "Hey!"

In fact, it wasn't that painful, but the pain was sharp and sudden, which caught her off guard.

"This is……"

Cheng's face was serious, and he hurriedly walked over to take a closer look, "Hurry up and call the imperial physician and the medical lady over, this is about to give birth."

Except for Emperor Tianqin who was standing still in a panic, everyone else started to move.

The delivery place was arranged in the side hall, and Emperor Tianqin hurriedly carried her over after realizing it.

But Cheng shook his head, "Your Majesty, let the queen walk away, it will be a while before the birth, and it will be faster to walk around at this time."

Wu Zhu pulled a horse over and flew over to the Lin family and the Gu family.

Respectively notify the consecrated ones to be enshrined.

The Gu family has no other female relatives, only a few nuns who used to be busy in the palace.

As for the Lin family, all the female relatives went to the ancestral hall to kneel on the futons and recite scriptures.

When they reached the delivery room, Emperor Tianqin wanted to follow in, but was stopped by Cheng.

In fact, before stopping, Cheng was also a little scared, but seeing that several palace people didn't have the guts to stop her, she could only open her mouth.

"Your Majesty, you should wait outside. The Queen will get nervous when you go in."

Emperor Tianqin didn't make a sound, but his footsteps did stop, but his eyes fell on every palace servant who came in and out, as if they were cut by knives.

"Thank you, grandma." Gu Ruzhen's face was pale at the moment, but she could still bear to walk around with the help of the maid.

She didn't want a man in, not because she would feel nervous about his presence.

It's that she doesn't want him to know that she will be in such pain when giving birth to this child.

She worried that he would dislike the child because of this.

The first child is always more difficult, walking on the ground for more than an hour before the female doctor let her go to the bed.

Because the time was too long, Gu Ruzhen urged Cheng Shi to go out again later.

"Grandmother, just watch His Majesty from the outside, let him have some cakes and tea, don't keep eating."

Cheng was afraid that she would not let go, so he could only clap his hands, "I'll go right away, don't think about anything else."

Seeing Cheng's leaving figure, Gu Ruzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and clenched the soft cloth in her mouth.

In fact, Cheng did not succeed in persuading him outside, and she even had to persuade the man at the door not to let him in.

Before dawn, Zuoqiuju made his own opinion and saw that the candles were brightly lit inside without the intention of ending, and asked people to inform that today's morning morning ceremony would stop first.

But at this time, many ministers had already arrived at the gate of the palace in sedan chairs, and did not leave after hearing this, but waited at the gate for news from inside.

His Majesty has been on the throne since he was enthroned, and he is also the heir of the Queen, so how can they not pay attention to it.

The inside and outside of Shengning Palace were very quiet except for the woman's suppressed screams of pain.

Emperor Tianqin listened to it, and unconsciously squeezed the jade pendant tightly in his hand.

After an unknown amount of time, accompanied by a baby's cry, a ray of light in the sky gradually opened up, all the silence and concentration were broken in an instant, and everyone's faces stretched out.

Cheng walked in first, helped a few nuns to deal with it briefly, and then put it in front of Gu Ruzhen with the baby in her arms.

Gu Ruzhen was still awake at the moment, she turned her head to the side, looked at the baby's face which was so red that she could barely make out his face, and was silent for a long time.

"Is this a boy or a girl?"

Cheng's face was full of smiles, "It's an imperial concubine, look at how cute these facial features are, she will definitely be a beautiful woman who will overwhelm the country and the city in the future."

Gu Ruzhen: "..."

She felt a little suspicious of life, especially after hearing Cheng's praise of the child's appearance, her mood became more complicated.

"Grandma, don't you think she's ugly?"

Although it has been wiped clean, the skin is red and wrinkled, and a few tufts of hair are scribbled here and there.

It would be fine if it was a boy with rough looks, but this is a girl, thinking of this, Gu Ruzhen still felt a little sorry for her daughter.

When Emperor Tianqin walked in to see her, she had already puckered her mouth in grievance.

When Emperor Tianqin listened to the reason and looked at the child, he subconsciously wanted to say something ugly.

However, when she saw the appearance of a woman crying or not, she could only swallow the word ugly, "Look carefully, she is very delicate, and it doesn't matter if she is not good-looking."

These words did not comfort Gu Ruzhen, even after hearing this, she couldn't help but feel like crying.

When Cheng heard the conversation between the novice parents, he couldn't laugh or cry.

"It's always like this when a baby is just born, and it will be fine after a few days."

"Really?" Gu Ruzhen still had some expectations.

Cheng brought her a bowl of soup for her to drink, "Of course it's true, you'll see it in a few days."

After finishing the soup, Gu Ruzhen's exhaustion from just now finally surged up, she closed her eyes sleepily and fell into a deep sleep.

Emperor Tianqin sat beside her, looking down at the mother and daughter without blinking.

After waiting for a while, he ordered Zuo Qiuju to take out the imperial decree that had already been drawn up.
