She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Chapter 557 Finale (1)

"Mom, I plan to give birth in the palace so that I don't have to go back and forth.

My husband has already discussed it with his brother-in-law, and they will prepare a set in the palace in the next two days in addition to the one in the hospital.

All we need to do then is invite the two Xie sisters to the palace. Meanwhile, my younger sister should be prepared. If a natural birth isn't possible, she will perform a caesarean section on me."

"That's good. You don't have to go out or squeeze into the hospital. You will be the doctor, and your sister will be with you in the palace. We are family, so everything will be easy." Zhao Yuejiao was very satisfied with this arrangement.

As a princess who protects the country and the Princess of Rong, she has every possibility to prepare a delivery room in the palace with the same conditions as in a hospital.

"Mother-in-law, let me do it." Shangguan Ziqi came back from the outer courtyard and saw his mother-in-law massaging his wife's legs.

Shangguan Ziqi naturally took over the work from Zhao Yuejiao.

Three days later, the delivery room in the palace was ready, located in the east wing of Qiyayuan.

Shangguan Ziqi specially helped Yu Yuanzheng to check again to see if there was anything wrong.

Yu Yueyin arranged it personally, and everything went well.

The early spring sunshine shines through the newly installed glass windows of Qiyayuan, making the room exceptionally bright.

"It's great to use glass for windows. You see, we can perform surgery indoors without turning on the lights, and we don't have to open the windows to expose the room to pollution." Yu Yuanzheng looked around and was very satisfied.

"Yes. Our family was the first to use glass windows. Even the emperor couldn't snatch it from me." Shangguan Ziqi was very proud.

His reason was that it was used to decorate the delivery room, and the emperor had no say in the matter.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Shangguan Ziqi and the children made lanterns in the yard, hoping that Yu Yuanzheng could see the various lanterns without going out.

Yu Yuanzheng leaned on the couch and watched the four father and sons busying themselves.

She gently stroked her belly, which was as big as a mountain. At this time, she could no longer feel the fetal movement, as the baby had already entered the pelvis.

Suddenly, I felt a tightness in my stomach, but no pain.

After waiting for a while, the tightening feeling came again.

She frowned but said nothing.

Shangguan Ziqi, who was always paying attention to her, saw the abnormality on his wife's expression and immediately discovered her abnormality.

"what happened?"

The three siblings also stopped what they were doing.

"It seems like she's about to give birth."

"What?" The lantern in Shangguan Ziqi's hand fell directly to the ground, and he took three or two steps over.

"I just felt a contraction."

The three siblings also gathered around and looked at their mother nervously.

Shangguan Ziqi's face suddenly changed, and he immediately shouted outside the courtyard, "Someone, quickly call the midwife and the imperial physician! The princess is about to give birth!"

When the maid outside heard this, she immediately ran to the main courtyard to inform the old princess.

The palace suddenly became busy.

"Help me up," Yu Yuanzheng said through gritted teeth, "I want to walk around so the birthing process will go more smoothly."

In order to have a natural birth, she insisted on taking a walk every day.

Shangguan Ziqi carefully helped her up and walked slowly in the yard.

Shangguan Yajing supported her other arm.

The two brothers also stood around worriedly.

"Mother, does it hurt now?" Shangguan Changyu asked worriedly.

"It doesn't hurt yet, so don't be nervous. We're just starting to feel any reaction, so it's still early. You can continue making lanterns so your little brother or sister can see a yard full of lanterns when they're born. Let's see which one of yours catches the baby's eye."

Yu Yuanzheng comforted the children and told them not to worry too much.

Her belly was so heavy that she could hardly move, and each step was labored. But she couldn't stop.

She grabbed her husband's arm tightly, her nails almost digging into his flesh, but Shangguan Ziqi didn't even frown.

"Your Highness, the delivery room is ready." Nanny Ye came out of the delivery room and said respectfully.

"Okay. Let's go see if the Ning'an Marquis' wife has arrived, as well as the two Xie sisters."

"Yes." Nanny Ye hurried out and met the old princess who was about to come in.

"Zheng'er, is there any reaction?" The old princess came in hurriedly.

"Mother, I just had a reaction, it hasn't started to hurt yet." Yu Yuanzheng said with a smile.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was still so optimistic, the old princess felt a little relieved.

"Ouch!"

Yu Yuanzheng had just finished speaking when a pain came over her.

"What's wrong?" Shangguan Ziqi asked in surprise.

"It hurt just now."

The two midwives and Yu Yueyin hurried over and were relieved to see that Yu Yuanzheng still had the strength to walk in the yard.

As soon as they got the news, they dropped what they were doing and rushed over.

Chen Yuanzheng also hurried over after hearing the news.

Mrs. Xie used to come to the palace every ten days to check on Yu Yuanzheng's pregnancy. She estimated that she would give birth in the next few days and was ready to be called to the palace at any time.

"Sister, are you okay?" Yu Yueyin was filled with worry when she saw Yu Yuanzheng's unusually big belly.

Yu Yuanzheng forced a smile: "It's okay, I just started to react."

Then Zhao Yuejiao came.

Then there is Princess Jing.

All of Yu Yuanzheng's mothers were here.

Not long after, the fathers also arrived.

Everyone watched her walking in the yard, their hearts hanging in their throats.

When they saw Yu Yuanzheng's huge belly, they couldn't help but feel nervous for her.

As time passed, the pain became more and more intense, and Yu Yuanzheng was helped into the delivery room by two midwives.

There were lights burning in the four corners of the room, and the bed was covered with thick cushions.

Shangguan Ziqi was about to follow in but was stopped by Mrs. Xie.

"Your Highness, the delivery room is filthy. You should wait outside."

"No, I was unable to accompany my wife the first time, but I will not let her bear it alone this time." Shangguan Ziqi's voice was not loud, but it was filled with unquestionable majesty.

At this moment, Yu Yuanzheng was in so much pain that her vision went black, but she still tugged at her husband's sleeve: "Husband, I'm afraid you'll be scared."

"How could that be?" Shangguan Ziqi held his wife's hand, his voice softening. "I promised to always be with you. I wasn't there when Shengyu and the other two were together, but this time I won't leave you even a step."

Tears welled up in Yu Yuanzheng's eyes. She wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a heart-wrenching pain.

She threw her head back and let out a suppressed moan.

The two men helped Yu Yuanzheng lie down on the bed.

Mrs. Xie checked again and found that the cervix was almost dilated.

"Princess, we can begin now." Mrs. Xie immediately assigned several people how to cooperate.

"Princess, follow my breathing and strength."

"Sister, you are the bravest. So many of us are cheering you on." Yu Yueyin encouraged.

The pain of childbirth comes in waves like the tide.

Yu Yuanzheng's inner clothes were quickly soaked with sweat, and her black hair was scattered and stuck to her pale cheeks.

Shangguan Ziqi held her hand all the time and kept wiping the sweat from her forehead with a wet cloth.

"Your Highness, have the princess hold onto the straps by the bed."

Shangguan Ziqi had no choice but to let go of his wife's hand.

He didn't know what a woman should do during childbirth, so he just did whatever the midwife told him to do.

"Okay, Princess, get ready, push harder." Mrs. Xie felt a contraction on Yu Yuanzheng's belly and shouted.

"Ah!" Yu Yuanzheng screamed and her body shook violently.

The three siblings outside the delivery room were so frightened when they heard their mother screaming in pain that they turned pale.
