Man Bao was beaten by Ke Ke and stayed silently for a while with his eyes open, and then got up.

The palace maid who was lying on the table raised her head from the table when she heard the noise, turned her head in a daze, and immediately woke up to come up to serve her.

Manbao waved his hand and asked her to continue sleeping.

The Crown Princess had intermittent labor pains last night. Man Bao couldn't sleep well, and the maid who was serving her couldn't sleep well. Even the Crown Prince who was sleeping in the study was awakened several times.

The Crown Princess was quiet now, and it was rare for everyone to take a rest with their eyes closed.

Manbao combed his hair and went out to fetch water with a wooden basin.

The palace maid standing guard outside saw her pouring cold water, put her hand directly into the cold water, and even touched her face. She was shocked and said, "Mr. Zhou, what are you..."

Man Bao exhaled and said, "This will make you more awake."

Bai Shan also got up, stood on the corridor and watched for a while, then stepped forward curiously and looked into her eyes, "Is it because you didn't sleep well last night?"

Seeing that he was in good spirits, Man Bao exhaled and said, "You slept really well."

While the two were talking, Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Zheng also got up. The three imperial physicians and Bai Shan, who had no duties, had breakfast, and then stood on the porch looking at the dark sky, "It's going to snow..."

"

Over at the Taiji Hall, the emperor and the empress sent people to inquire. Aunt Shang also came over to see the princess on behalf of the empress. She made sure that she had not started giving birth before going back to report.

Even the Queen Mother sent people.

The prince didn't go anywhere early in the morning, just wandering around the yard. When he saw the prince woke up and ate a bowl of noodles, he was able to walk twice on the corridor with his cloak on. He widened his eyes and asked Zhou Man, "What's this?"

Does she look like she’s about to give birth?”

Man Bao said: "What's the hurry? Walking more will help production."

He said he was not in a hurry, and he was indeed a little afraid of giving birth, but now there was no movement at all. Not only the prince, but also the princess became anxious, "Why doesn't it hurt at all?"

Man Bao sat on a chair, took a sip of hot tea, and said slowly: "It's not the time yet, don't worry, if you don't give birth today, it will be the same tomorrow."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Crown Princess seemed to have been kicked in the stomach, and then she felt a dampness. Her face looked a little ugly, and she glanced at the palace maid who was supporting her, and said embarrassedly: "I, I seem to be again

I peeed."

Man Bao blinked while holding the teacup, feeling something was wrong, "Didn't you just change your clothes?"

She glanced at her lower body, put down the tea cup and said slowly: "It's probably that the amniotic water has broken. Let's help her to the bed first."

The princess' whole body stiffened, and her hands and feet became a little weak.

The maids did not expect it to be so sudden, and they did not dare to move while supporting the Crown Princess.

However, Mrs. Wen and her aunts were still able to hold their own. They calmly stepped forward to take the princess from the hands of the palace maid, and almost half-lifted her to the bed.

Po Wen examined the Crown Princess and smiled, "It's time to give birth, but the cervix has just been opened. Don't be in a hurry, take your time."

Man Bao also took a look, then turned to the palace maids and said: "Let the small kitchen boil water, get some boiling water, iron the scissors and other things that were ironed yesterday again, put clean cloth on the ground, everything will be done as I taught you before

Come."

The maids also calmed down, and Aunt Yu who was beside the Crown Princess immediately came over to take over the command, and everyone began to move in an orderly manner.

Man Bao and Wen Po removed most of the clothes from the Crown Princess, and then opened the medicine box. She took a look at the needle bag that she had put back, and thought about it, and decided not to bother with replacement.

Instead, she closed the medicine box, took out the needle bag that she had kept carefully from her sleeve and opened it. She said to the princess who was biting her lip to endure the pain: "I will give you an acupuncture now to relieve the pain. Don't be afraid."

,Besides me, there are also Dr. Liu and Dr. Zheng outside."

The Crown Princess nodded repeatedly, as if she was really not afraid, but Wen Po, who had been paying attention to the cervix, shook her head slightly at Zhou Man, and Man Bao knew that she was afraid that the cervix had contracted.

Man Bao didn't say anything, he pinched the needle and went to give her the acupuncture.

Sweat gradually broke out on the Crown Princess's forehead, and she couldn't help but scream out. But she was not as panicked as yesterday. She remembered what Zhou Man taught her before, not to shout loudly, as that would cause her to lose a lot of strength, so she had to stay calm as much as possible.

Listen to Po Wen.

Man Bao kept pricking her body with acupuncture. After about a quarter of an hour, the Crown Princess felt that the pain was less, and she gradually accepted the continuous pain and became less nervous. Once she relaxed, the cervix slowly opened.

.

When the stable women saw it, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, shook their heads slightly at Aunt Yu, and whispered: "There is no need to boil the medicine to induce labor, just take the medicine to protect the fetus."

The Wenba currently used by the Crown Princess is the best in the palace. They are basically the ones who deliver the babies of the queens and concubines in the palace. Aunt Yu can trust their abilities, but she still turned to look at Zhou.

After taking a quick look and seeing her nodding slightly, she went down to give instructions.

Man Bao kept turning the needle in his hand, asked the Crown Princess, and saw that she was not in so much pain, he took away the needle, and then looked at Po Wen.

Po Wen nodded slightly, and then said: "It's driving very fast, there are three fingers."

So a group of people sat in front of the bed and watched the princess, waiting for her cervix to fully open.

Although the pain was not so much after the injection, the princess still felt that the day was like a year. Seeing that they did not respond for a while, she asked: "It hasn't started yet?"

The stable women turned to look at Man Bao, and Man Bao could only explain, "Mother, there is no need to rush this matter. You are the first child, and the cervix must be opened slowly. Now you have three fingers. If it is fast, it will take about half an hour."

, it’s possible to slow down for two or three hours.”

The princess didn't dare to move, so she just lay on the bed and waited. After waiting for a while, she couldn't help but ask: "I don't feel so painful now. Will it hurt again when I'm about to give birth?"

"Don't worry, I'll inject you with analgesic injections for a quarter of an hour every two quarters of an hour, but it will really hurt more as you go to the back." After thinking about it, Manbao reached out to hold her hand and comforted her: "It'll be okay.

, there are so many of us here.”

Po Wen quickly smiled and said: "Yes, don't worry. Doctor Zhou just gave you an oxytocin injection. That's why the cervix opened so quickly. Otherwise, you would have to drink oxytocin. Please see Doctor Zhou."

You are so dedicated, what are you afraid of?"

When the Crown Princess heard this, she became even more relieved. As soon as she relaxed, the cervix opened faster. After Man Bao injected two more needles, the cervix was dilated to nine fingers.

Man Bao and Wen Po immediately got up and washed their hands with hot water, squirted the water and waited for their hands to dry slowly, and the cervix was fully opened.

Two Wen Po and Man Bao stood separately. One comforted the Crown Princess and asked her to breathe slowly and hold her breath. The other touched the fetal position while Man Bao stood below and watched.

"Okay, Mistress, your cervix is ​​well dilated and the fetus is in the right position. As long as you use the right strength, the baby will be born quickly. Come on, follow the slave and inhale first. Exhale. Take a big breath. Okay, exert force."
