Capítulo 1978: Chapter 131: Tian Hui Gives Birth
Not only did Xiao He visit Dong Tian more frequently, but even Cheng Haoxuan also ca more often, all for one reason: he was begging Lin Yuan to take him as an apprentice.
In his own words, he, Cheng Haoxuan, was gifted and much better than that dull apprentice, Xiao He.
Lin Yuan was speechless. In her opinion, Xiao He was a hundred tis better an apprentice than Cheng Haoxuan.
It wasn’t just Cheng Haoxuan; even Madam Cheng and Lu Chong personally ca to Dong Tian to find her. Fortunately, Lin Yuan was recently busy with the affairs of Chanyin Pavilion, so she missed them a few tis; otherwise, she wouldn’t know what excuse to use to refuse them.
To be honest, Cheng Haoxuan was a decent apprentice, but Lin Yuan did not want to take on too many apprentices and trouble herself right now, so she was putting it off as long as she could.
However, she wasn’t sure how long she could delay it, as it seed Cheng Haoxuan would inevitably beco her apprentice one day.
In July, the preparations for the opening of Chanyin Pavilion were almost complete, and Tian Hui’s due date was approaching fast.
Princess Anle beca increasingly anxious, sending soone to Tian Hui’s courtyard three to five tis a day to inquire, and even the midwives had been brought to live in the General Mansion.
Xia Zhen was even more nervous. With the prospect of becoming a father soon, he couldn’t deny his excitent, but more than that, he was uneasy.
Every night before sleeping, he instinctively held Tian Hui’s hand. Even waking up from a dream in the middle of the night, he would quickly check if Tian Hui was feeling unwell.
It is often said that won are anxious when becoming mothers, but Tian Hui felt nothing. Her daily routine was mainly eating and sleeping, thanks to Lin Yuan’s efforts.
Tian Hui’s body wasn’t too weak, but since she was a bit thin, everyone was concerned she might not have the strength during childbirth.
As the due date approached, they weren’t afraid of her eating too much and the child growing too big, making it difficult to deliver, so Lin Yuan would send a nurturing dicinal dish to the kitchen every day to help strengthen her body.
Whether it was because she had been nourished too well, or the baby in Tian Hui’s belly was longing to taste her aunt’s good cooking, Tian Hui suddenly went into labor two weeks before the expected date.
“Ahhh! It hurts!”
Hearing Tian Hui’s heart-wrenching cries from the room, Xia Zhen’s legs turned to jelly, his face turned pale, and he was dripping with sweat, beads forming in his tense palms.
Princess Anle anxiously stood by the door, trying to encourage her daughter-in-law through it: “Huihui, don’t be afraid, your mother is here! I’m here, Zhenzhen is here too, don’t be afraid, just listen to the midwife, be good! Oh dear, I can’t take this, I should go in and stay with her!”
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to hold back his wife who was about to enter, speaking in a low voice: “Don’t go in and make it more chaotic. Did you forget what you were like when you gave birth to Zhenzhen and the others?”
What was it like?
Princess Anle glared fiercely at her husband, but her hand did stop pushing the door. She hadn’t forgotten how she scread even louder than Tian Hui when she gave birth, even crying and protesting that she didn’t want to go through with it!
In the end, Xia Yuan had to enter, pressing down on her shoulders with both hands to forcibly calm her down. Otherwise, all her energy would have been spent on crying and fussing, leaving none to bear the child.
Lin Yuan had already experienced witnessing childbirth when Lady Liu gave birth, feeling her heart leap into her throat due to Liu’s poor health.
But this ti, Tian Hui’s health was much better, so there likely wouldn’t be any problems.
Even knowing this, Lin Yuan was still very worried, clutching Xia Zheng’s hand tightly.
“Don’t be afraid, we won’t have children, I won’t let you suffer like this!”
Xia Zheng thought Lin Yuan was scared, hence her tension, and quickly comforted her gently.
Lin Yuan pressed her lips together, holding tightly onto Xia Zheng’s hand. At fifteen, she truly hoped to have children later if she could, as her body in modern tis was still that of a child!
While they anxiously waited outside, the cries from Tian Hui inside the room grew louder and louder.
Xia Zhen was beyond worried, finding this sensation more terrifying than his first ti on the battlefield.
“Mother, Huihui she…”
Princess Anle lifted her weary face and looked at her son, whose eyes were full of red blood vessels, and couldn’t help but sigh: “Huihui will be fine, just wait here peacefully. You are a man, moreover a husband and a father, you must not fall down now.”
